REBEL CHEIF IS CAPTURED Fugitive Filipino Governor Turned Over to Troops by Natives. MANILA. Sept. 3. The uprising In Nueva Viscaya. led by Simeon Mandac, former Governor of Ilocos Norte, col lapsed today when Mandac, who had been seized by the people of the Prov ince among whom he had sought to stir up trouble, was turned over to the constabulary. A few of Mandac's right-hand men also were arrested and his other fol lowers dispersed. It is estimated that the band of outlaws originally num bered 500, but it dwindled soon to 200 and these had few arms. An Interesting feature of the upris ing was the co-operation of the natives in running down the disturbers. Mandac will now probably serve the 14 years' imprisonment sentence which has been haniring over him since his conviction for killing a prisoner while he was Governor.
