AMERICAN FORCES CLOSING
ON AGUINALDO'S ARMY
Thirty Thousand of Otis' Troops Have Com
menced a Campaign "AH Alongthe Line."
IA1PORTANT RESULTS TO TRANSPIRE
General Belief In Military Circles that tte End Is Nearly In Sight
anlTbattbe Retellion Will Be CrusbeJ
Tbls Month.
NEW YOBK. Nov. t A special to the
- HeralJ from Washington says:
With force aggres-iting tfcan
30.WO fighting men. Generals Lawton,
MacArthur and WTwaton are now cloe
irg In on Aguinaldo's army. General
0:1c et November 5 and C as the dates
fur commencing the campaign "all
along the line" and the war depart
ment has information today that the
program Is being carried out.
General Otis' dispatches are optimis
tic In the. highest degree and the offi
cials are predicting that the rebellion
will be crushed before the end of the
prsent month and that Important vic
tories will be announced within a few
days.
The military situation was thus ana
lysed today by an official familiar with
General Otis' planes Of operation, as
reported to the war department:
Aguinaldo, with his army greatly
reduced, owing to recent disintegra
tions. Is at Bayambang, twenty miles
north of Tarlac, which was his head
quarters and the objectives of Lawton's
and MacArthur's armies up to a fort
night ago.
"General MacArthur move north
ward along the railroad to Bayambang,
taking the towns of Tarlae, Panaque,
Moncoda and others as he goes along.
General Law-ton moves northward
from Colantua as his base, and with
columns swerving to the right and left
to sweep the country to the Rio Agno
river, and to head off Aguinaldo's es
cape to the mountains through Rio
Agno valley. At last accounts detach
ments from his command had taken
' Aliaga, west of his base. Talavera being
to the north and Bayambang to the
northwest.
"General tVheaton moves southward
from Dagupan to Bayambang. His
movements up to this time have b"en
kept from the public, but now that th
campaign is in progress, I am at liber
ty to mer.tion that he headed an ex.-
ditlon sent out on transports for the
Gulf of Lingayen last we-k. The navy's
task was to shell the towns on the
southern part of the gulf, so as to ef
fect the cafe landing of his expedition.
"Unless Agulnal-Jo has escad to the
eastward through the Rio Agnu valley,
he ought to b" caught between Gen
eral Wheaton's fr: -s from the north
and General Mac-Arthur's from th
souih within the next n hour, as Bay
ambang. where he is sjp-'l to be
located, is less thai " mii-.i from Da
gupan and about 4fi miles fr..rn Ang-les.
"Although General Ma' Arthur's T.ai.n
forces were at Angr-I at last avjiitr,
it 1b believed that one of tus columns
has reached and taken Tarlac b-f -r-
this time and that the railroad to h:.:
point is now in control of the Arrerlcan
tones and that it is only a qti. ti"n
of a few days wh-.i his command wiii
reac h Bayambang.
"From the plan of campaign manr--
out Aguinaldo's only p'-f.sble means of
escape would seem to be V the east
ward through the Rio Agno valley into
the mountains, as the forces und-r
Generals Law ton and MacArthur
moving northward are keeping scouts
well out to ihe front so as to prevent
the enemy from escaping southward."
It seems to have been figured out by
the authorities that Aguinaldo -wouldn't
aUcmpt to en's.'' the mountains to tho
northeastward, because when he got
on the other side he would be quite as
hostile to the Tagalos as the American
trot-ps. The north? part of the isl
and of Luzon is cut off from the central
by high ranges of mountains. The
other Bide is peopled by mixed races.
It Is said they are friendly to the Uni
ted States nnd particularly bitter
against the Tagalos.
The war department has not been ad
vised as to the exact number of troops
now engaged under Generals Lawton,
MacArthur and Wtaeoton, but It Is esti
mated that of the 44.000 which General
Otis reported he had yesterday, at
least M are engaged In the cam-j-algn
north of Manila, According to
recent dispatches "rm General Otis
there has been a gvner&l scattering of
Aguinaldo's forces and one report stat
ed that he did not have more than 3.-
OW men with him at Bayambang.
General Otis expressed the opinion
that the disintegration of Aguinaldo's
men meant that they were getting tired
of the war and predicted the; surren
uer or a targe numoer or nanus in a
short time.
Some of the military experts fear
General Otis is over sanguine on this
point and that the disintegration may
mean the beginning of a prolonged
guerrilla warfare.
MAGALAXG A GOOD TOWN.
Captured Only After a Stout Defense
by the Insurgents.
MANILA, Nov. 6. 10:50 a. m. Maga
lang, th- town taken yesterday by the
two columns of General MacArthur's
division under Coljnel Smith and Ma
jor O'Brien, is a strong town situated
midway between Angeles and Arayat.
The movement Is a part of a plan for
the Americans to possess all the coun
try to the southeast of Tarlac, as the
t roots c!'se In on the capital, cutting
the line of the enemy's retreat In that
direction. The insurgent force Is esti
mated at 1,M.
Colom-l Smith first encountered a
small force entrenched a quarter of a
mile beyond Angeles, which soon re
treated, leaving two of their number

was that the bent form of republican
gowrnment know n In the world, which
would be th bowt fonn t bo found
among the- Ideal, and that every step
toward establishing a government In
the 1'hlllpplnes should be an approach
to this high Ideal.
No attempt should be made, he Mild,
to frame a detailed government for the
islmd us a whole or for any .f the
various people who Inhabited them
without a thorough understanding of
all the conditions and needs of the In
habitants. Asked whether he- favored a congres
sional commlMion to visit the Philip
pines and study the conditions there be
fore attempting to frame a system of
government, he replied:
"I think It would be wise to have
such a commission visit the Islands. If
we had undertaken to frame a govern
rtieni for Hawaii without the study of
local conditions which our commission
made, I think It Is probable that we
would have made some egregious blun
ders. This study of conditions and of,
the peculiar characteristics and needs
3f the people Is even more neeesary In
the case of the Philippines than In- Ha
waii, because we know b-ss of the Phil
ippines." In Senator Morgan's opinion the gov
ednment of the I'nlted States should
have charge of the- external relations of
all r.iatters relating to the islands as a
group, while the local affairs should
be conlided as far as possible to tin'
people of the different localities. In

this connection he spoke of the town- ""- - :

es thi highest Ideal of local self-gov-
ernment.
The question of who should have the
right to vote would have to be deter
mined by congress, and In this conn.v
tlon the senator called attention to the
fact that In the first Instance the deter
mlnation of who shall have the suffrage
In the states and territories organized
under the 1'nlted States, is an arbitrary
act. In some places, men only being
allowed to vote, In others men and w.
nien, amlMn others various qualifica
tions being prescribed.
Ex'stlng Irws, the senator thought,
should be continued In force as far as
they were good laws because, the triple
understood them.' One change that
wou'd have to be mide would be to
take away from the friars and the re
ligious orders their power of levying
taxes on the people.
Senator Morgan Is of the opinion that
while the United States should under
take at once the solution of the prob
lem of governing the Philippines, the
development of that government Into
Its untimate form will have to be a
matter of growth.

TO ESTABLISH GOVERNMENT
Stnator .Munjan Thinks This the Best
Aner That Can He Made to
the Anti-Ctpansicnists.
Nr:w yoi'.k, xov. ;. a t-rx-ciai to th
H'-ra!'l from Washington say:
i.'onirress should at once take action
in relation to th'; Philippines," said
."nator Morgan tonight. This action
."hould Ve taken in the discharge of the
duly Implied by ss-ctlon four, article
four, of the constitution, which pro
vides that the United States shall guar-areti-r-
ts ev.-ry state in this union a re
publican form of government."
l he senator said that this Imposed a
distinct duty upon congress, and the
discharge of that duty by action look
ing to the establishment of a republican
form of govr-rnnvnt In the Philippines
would be the Vx-st .answer possible to the
anti-Imperialists. He explained that
what he meant by giving a republican
form of government to the Philippines
anf- tr atlou. HOicollnt trt f.lll below T.C mop
per cent. At and above that rate gold
was attracted to London, or at least
prevented from going away, but direct
ly the rate fell below It, the demand
for gold for export began to revive,
while supplies ceased to arrive. No gold
has thug far be?n openly taken back
to England, but Holland has swept
away any small supplies available In
the market, and on th-se falling
sundry parcels of sovereigns have been
withdrawn privately for shipment to
Ameterdam.
In the open market the week loans
rose to 3 and Z per cent, where they
have since stuck, and Immediately the
bill brokers commenced to work up dis
count, first to 4 per cent and today by
steps to Whether the market will
kep thus hard Is doubtful, because
cheap loans always In the end defeat
discounters. Brokers say we are detir
mined to put a three months' rate of
discount of 4V4 per cent as the mini
mu;n, but they are certain to fall until
loan money can rise In the neighbor
hood of 4 per cent.
It may do this, but hardly yet, for
the Bank of England has merely lis

of pressure, the Japanese loan money
