Richly Caparisoned Horse Was Left,
With Saddle-Bags Containing In

Vlagn, Luzon, via Manila, June 5.
Major March, with his detachment ol
the Thirty -third regiment, overtook
what is believed to have been Agui
naldo't party on May 19, at Lagat,
about 100 miles northeast of Yigan.
Tho Americans killed or wounded an
officer, supposed to be Aguinaldo,
whose body was removed by his fol
lowers. Aguinaldo had 100 men, Majoi
March 125, the American commander
reaching La Boagan, where AguinaK'io
had made hia headquarters since March
6, on May ?. ' Aguinaldo had fled seven
hours before leaving all th beaten trail!
and traveling through the forest along
the beds of streams. Toward evening,
May .19, Major March struok Agui
naldo's outpost about a mile outside ol
Lagat, killing four Filipinos and cap
turing two. From the latter he learned
that Aguinaldo had camped there foi
the night, exhausted and half starved.
Major March's men entered Lagat on
the run. They saw the insurgents scat
tering into the bushes or over the pla
teau. A thousand yards beyond thf
town, on the mountain side, the figvrret
of 25 Filipinos dressed in white with
their leader on a gray horse were
silhouetted against the sunset. Th
Americans fired a volley and saw thf
officer drop from his horse. Hia fol
lowers fled, carrying the body. Th
Americans, on leaohing the spot
caught the horse, which was rich,
saddled. Blood from a badly woundf
man was on the animal and on th
ground. The saddle bags contains
Aguinaldo's diary and some privat
papers , including proclamations. On
of these was addressed: "To the Civ
ilized Nations." It protested againf
the American occupation of the 1'hlli)
pines. There was also found copies .
Senator Beveridge's speech, translate
into Spanish and entitled: "The Deat
Knell of the Filipino People."
Major March, believing that th'
Filipinos had taken to a river which !
a tributaty of the Chico, followed it fo:
two days, reaching Tiao, where he
learned that a party of Filipinos hat
descended the river May 20 on a raft
with the body of a dead or woundec
man upon a litter, covered with palm
leaves. There Major March reviewed
his command, shoeless and exhausted,
and picked out 24 of the freshest men,
with whom he beat the surrounding
country for six days longer, but with
out finding any trace of the insurgents.
The Americans pushed on, and arrlvec
at Aparri, May 29.
The officer shot was either Aguinaldo
or his adjutant, and as the horse was
richly caparisoned, it is fair presump
tion that it was Aguinaldo.

PLAQUE SITUATION.
Chines of San Francisco Stnte Their
Grlevanoes lu Detail.
San Francisco, June 2. Referring to
quarantining of Chinatown, the attor
neys for the Chinese Six Compuuies
have made the following statement:
"We shall do nothing precipitantly
in the way of litigation, and therefore
we do not coutemplate making an ap
plication to the courts at this time for
any order to modify or hinder the oper
ations of the board of health.
"A cause of oonsidorable uneasiness
among the inhabitants of Chinatown is
the lack of quarantine regulations thus
far observed within the quarantined
distriot. The general quarantine order
keeps 20,000 people within a pre
scribed district, and that a compara
tively samll district. Iu this district
It is not claimed that there are or ever
have been more than nine or ten cases.

it is necessary to quarantiue this num

duty of the board of health to go furth
