HOT CHASE AFTER AGUINALDO
A ricot of TmimiHirtB ml Ounnoitfl
finll to Co-Opornto WtU Laiul Votco
Kml Next Spring.
Manila, Nov. 7. This evening a fleet
of transports and gunboats loft Manila
for tho most Important expedition of
tho autumn campaign. Its destina
tion is supposed to bo Dngupan, or
sonio other northorn port. General
Wcaton commands, with a brigade con
sisting of tho Thirteenth infantry, tho
Thirty-third infantry, two guns of tho
Sixth artillery and two gatliugs. Tho
transports Shoridan, Francisco do Roys
and Azteo carry tho troops, with tho
gunboat Helena as escort. A dis
patch boat was sont ahead to arrango
a rendezvous with tho United States
cruiser Charleston and tho warships
that aro patrolling tho northorn coast
of Luzon.
It is assnmod hero that tho pnrposo
of tho expedition is to movo down tho
Dagupau-Manila railroad towards
Tarlao, in order to prevent Aguiualdo's
forces making another baso farther
south. Dagupan and Apparri aro tho
strongholds of tho insurgents in tho
north.
It has beon tho unanimous opinion of
military exports that Dagupan should
bo made a baso of operations, but suffi
cient troops have heretofore beon lack
ing. With Generals Wheatou, Mac
Arthur and Lawton moving upon Tarlao
from three directions, and tho moun
tains hemming in tho other sido, tho
insurgents' capital will soon becomo
untenable. Aguinaldo may attempt to
shift his headquarters to tho rich tobac-
... . i t .i.
co country at mo uorinern enu oi wiu
island. It will bo dillicult for tho
insurgents to escapo. Should tho
scheduled operations succeed, organ
ized insurrection on a largo scale should
bejat an end early next spring.although
guerrila warfare is likely to continue
for a long time. No ono anticipates
that the insurgents will mako many
hard battles.
Manila, Nov. 7, 10:16 A. M. Two
columns of Generals MacArthur's divi
sion yesterday took Magaling, about six
miles northeast of Angeles. Colonel
Smith, with two battalions of tho Sev
enteenth infantry, two guns of the First
artillery, and a body of engineers,
advancod from Angeles. Major
O'Brien, with a battalion of tho Sev
enteenth infantry and two troops of the
Fourth cavalry, moved from Calulut.
Colonel Smith killed 11 insurgents,
wounded 128 and captured GO, as well
as taking a lot of insurgent transporta
tion. Major O'Brien killed -10 insnrg
ents, wounded many and took 28 pris
oners, ino Americans had 11 men
wounded.
Itetreat Cut Off.
London, Nov. 7. The war office hai
issued the following announcement:
"The colonial office has received in
formation to tho effect that the British
troops havo withdrawn from Colenso
and havo concentrated further south,
but we have no news of any engage
ment in that neighborhood."
The evacuation of Coleneo is un
doubtedly a most serious matter for the
British in Natal, as it not only testifies
to the complete investment of Lady
smith by tho Boers, but makes tho
relief of General Sir Georgo Stewurt
White an extremely difficult operation.

1.0 taken in tho dlsohargo of tho duty
1 1 i... u.w.fimi J. iirtlolo lv. of tho
constitution, which provides that tho
United States shall guarantee to oven
state in this Union a rupuuueuu
of government." , , , .
m i... uiild that this imwwod a
rvun.wi - .
distinct duty upon congress, and tho
discharge of that duty uy
iug to tho establishment of a republl
fnrm nt irovnriimunt in tho Philip
pines would bo tho answer ixisslblo to
fhn antl-lniporiallsts. Iio explained
!... Iio iiiimiit bv giving a ropub
llcau form of government to tho Philip
pines was to give thorn tho bHt form
f n rtmubllcan irovornmont known in
tho world, which would bo tho host
form to bo found among tho itieai, huh
that every stop towanl establishing a
government in tho Philippines should
bo au approach to this nigu iuoui.
N'n nttiMiint should ho made, ho said,
to frame a detailed government for tho
islands as a whole or for any of tho
v.irlrm twoiila who inhabited them,
without a thorough understanding of
all tho conditions and nemls of tho in
habitants. Asked whether lie favored
n congressional commission to visit tho
Philippines ami study tho conditions
thuro beforo attempting to iramo a ys
turn of L'overmucnt. ho replied:
"I think It would bo wise to havo
Biich a commission visit tho islands
If wo had undertaken to framo a gov'
eminent for Hawaii without tho study
of local conditions which our commis
sion made, I think It is probablo that
wo would havo made somo egregious
blunders. This study of conditions
and of the peculiar oharaetorlstlcH and
needs of tho people is oven moro neces
sary in tho case of tho Philippines
than in Hawaii, because wo know less
of tho Philippines."
In tho senator s opinion, tho govern
ment of tho United States should havo
charge of tho external relations of tho
islands, of collecting and oxiHJiidlng
tho rovcuues, and of all matters rolat
lug to the islands as a group, whilo tho
local affairs should bo confided as far
as possible to the people of tho differ
ent localities. In this connection ho
spoke of tho township system of tho
Now England states as tho highest
ideal of local sol (-government.
Tho question of who should havo tho
right to vote would havo to bo dolor
mined by congress, and in tliis connec
tion the senator called attention to tho
fact that in tho first iustunco tho deter
mination of who shall havo the suffrago
in tho states and territories organized
under tho United States, an arbitrary
act, in somo places, men only being al
lowed to vote, in others mon and
women, and in others various qualifica
tions being prescribed. Existing laws,
tho senator thought, should bo con
tinued in force as far as they wero good
laws, becauso tho people understood
them.
Ono chango that would havo to bo
mado would be to tako away from tho
friars and tho religious orders thoir
power of levying taxes on tho people.
Senator Morgan is of tho opinion that
while tho United States should under
take at onco tho solution of thoproblom
of governing tho Philippines, tho de
velopment of that government into its
ultimate form will havo to bo a matter
of growth.
Hoinnwlint Irrrculnr.
Washington, Nov. 0. Moran Broth

bid to take the place of that submitted
last Wednesday for tho construction of
