PUSHING ON
TO BAYOMBONG
Lawton Probably on the Trail of the
Rebel Chieftain Hardships Suf
fered by His Men.
Manila, Nov. 22, 12:50 p. m. Agui
naldo Iiuh escaped between Geuerale
Young and Wlittnton. Gen. Young is
pushing toward Bnyomboue.
The whereabouts of Lawton and
Young ure becoming as mysterious hb
Aguinaldo's.. The belief ia growing at
Manila that Lawton has struck the trail
of the insurgent "government" and ie
pursuing the minister! into the Byquio
mountains. It hns been his ambition
to ciptnre the Filipino leader and he
and Young believe that a cavalry brig
ade, living on the .country, could run
them down to any part of the island.
Ouo vague report brought in by Span
ish prisoners is that Agninaldo and
others were marly surrounded by
Americans soon after tlieinBurgent chief
left Tiu lac, but he escaped through the
lines in peasant's clothes.
Oflicers and soldiers arriving at Gaba
lauum from Lawton's force describe the
campaign as one of great hardship.
Many men dropping out sick were left
at various towns without adequate sup
plies and attendance, some of them
making their way back across terrible
roads. A number of horses were dying,
uiul many soldiers and even some of the
officers were marching on, half naked,
their clotlies having been torn to pieces
in getting through the jungles.
Some of them were reduced almost to
breech-clouts, and hundreds were bare
footed, their shoes being worn out, and
all were living on any sort of provisions.
Bread was rare, and cariboo meat and
bananas were the staples. Gen. Law
ton forsaw that the campaign would in
volve such hardships, but considered it
the quickest and cheapest way 01 ending
the war.
Young on His Trail.
Manila, Nov. 22. General Young re
ports that Agulnaldo, with a party of
200, including some women and a few
carts, passed Aringny, on the coast
between San Fabian and San Fernando,
ia the province of Union, on Friday No
vember 17. The general adds that
Aguinaldo probably intended to strike
inland through the liinquu mountains
towards Boyoiubong in the province of
Nueva Viscaya.
General Young with cavalry and
Macabebes is putsuing the Filipino
leader, part of the American force taking
the direction of San Fernando. In a
light with Agulualdo's rear guard at
Aringay one Macabebo was wounded
and the insurgents retreated. Their loss
is ut.kuown.
Around Kobln Hood's Barn.
San FitANCisco, Nov. 21. A noyel ex
periment Is to bo tried at It. D. Hume's
salmon butchery at the mouth of tho
Rogue river, in Oregon. A million salmon
spawn arrived there on the Oregon ex
press today. Tho spawn will at once be
put In a coldstorage plant until they can
bo shipped to Coos bay. At that point
a tug will be waiting and the spawn will
be taken to the hatchery nt tho mouth
of the 11 mxe river.
When they finally reach the hatchery
they will have traveled 1000 miles, and
will not by over forty miles from their
starting point. Tills long trip was made
necessary by the mountainous character
of the Intervening country.
Uied By Urltlih HultUer tu Africa.
Copt. O. G. Dennlson is well known
all over Africa as commander of the
forces that captured the. fatuous rebel
Galishe. Under date of Nov. 4, 1897,
from Vrybnrg, Bechuanaland, ho writes
"Boforo stuiing on tho last campaign 1
bought a quantity of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and DiarrlKci Remedy,
which 1 used myeelf when troubled will
bowel complaint, and had given to my
men, and in every case it proved most
beneficial." For Bale by Blakeley ,&

COMMUNICATION
IS PREVENTED
Boers Move So Fast and Often That
British Cannot Keep Track of
Them Their Forces Increasing.
DuniiAN, Nov. 22. A dispatch from
the Moot river says the telegraph line
was cut Tuesday evening near Highlands
station. Tho dispatch adds that the
railioad station is in possession of a large
force of Boers encamped near Mitche
son's cutting. The train bound 'to
Estcourt returned. It only got b mile
and a half northward of Highland's
station. The Natal Stud Company's farm
lias been raided and 400 blood horses,
valued at $15,000, have been captured.
Boers Swarm Southward.
London, Nov. .22 There has ap
parently been no communication with
Estcourt since noon Tuesday, and the
Boers control the railroad to the Mooi
river. Consequently, momentous de
velopments may be expected at any
time. The Boers, it seems, are swarm
ing southward. Larce bodies are re
ported nil around Estcourt, and the
parties appear to be threatening Pietcr-
maritzburg.
The Boers encamped at Highlands sta
tion are well supplied with artillery and
all evidences show that the various Boer
forces ure be'ng largely increased by ac
cessions from disaffected Capo burghers.
The serious deficiency in cavalry is being
felt-by the British, who are unable to
keep in touch with the mobile Boer
forces, whose presence is hardly reported
before they are lost Bight of, only to re
appear at any vital point along the line
of communication. General Hildyard's
force, anchored at Estcourt by tho naval
guard, cannot make an attack until
General deary's force is capable of tak
ing tho field.
According to a Cape Town dispatcfi
General Methuen's division left Orange
river and reached Wittepute, half way
to Belemont, yesterday and advices from
Orange river today show'that the Boers
occupy Belemont in force and that the
neighboring hills are covered with Boer
cannon. A patrol oi lancers wuicn nas
returned to the Orange river came un
expectedly on two Boer lasgers. Three
shrapnel shells burst close to the lancers,
who, however, were unharmed.
The British transport Kildonan Castle,
said to lm the largest transport in the
world, which left Southampton No
vember 4, with 3000 men, their kits,
weapone, machine guns, ammunition,
balloons, pontooue, wagons, etc., arrived
at Cape Town this morning. About 35,-
000 of Buller's army corps have now
arrived.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
togethor, and until tho last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science lias proypn catarrh

in telling of the benellt they havu re
ceived from it, of bud colds it has cured,
of threatened attacks of pneumonia it
lias averted and of the children it has
saved from attacks of croup ami whoop
