'MOVEMENTS OF THE GENER ALS. Manila, "Friday Evening, Nov. 24. General Bates, who is making a tour of the southern islands, reports tLac satisfactory relations have been estab lished with the sultan of Paragua, and the Americaa flag is now flying over this island. No- further reports have been receiv ed from Generals Lawton Wheiton and Young. They are still pushing toward San Fernando de la Union. General Ma; Arthur is reconnoitring toward Zambales. General Hall's command is engaged in repairing the railroad to Dagupan. NEWS FROM AGUINALDO. Manila, Saturday, Nov. 25. The transport Brutus has arrived "with iSenor Buerucaminp, captured near Cab arawan. He says Aguinaldo, his mother, wife and son, and 4,000 troops, ihave started northward. Buenoamino parted with Agulnaldo taear Cabara wasu Ten of Buertcamino's escort were killed and he lost $,000 in gold. He then surrendered. It is now reported that Aguinaldo has doubled on. his tracks and General Pilar is assuming his name. If this be true Young is pursuing Pilajr. Gen eral Young left San Fernando Novem ber 20 with a troop of cavalry and 3 companies of Macabebes. The capture of the rebel leader whom he is pursu ing seems certain. Manila Saturday Morning, Nov. 23. The rebels made feeble attacks on tlv? u-wns of Imus and Zapote, souh of Manila, last night but wer?. easily re pulsed. Captain Buck, while recon noiteriimg near San Mateo, discovered a small force of insurgents. EVIDENCES O'F FILIPINO DEMOR I ALIZATTON. The increasing number of Spanisli prisoners, who are escaping from the insurgents is evidence of the demoral ization existing among the rebels, ii seems that practically all the prisoners will soon be released. The concentration of insurgents in the province of Cavite, south of Manila, will probably necessitate another cam paign there. Besides General' Hughes' work on the island of Pamay this campaign in Ca vite is about the only military oper tion of any consequence that is to be accomplished. THE END NEAR. ' With the complete overthrow of Ag uinaldo's so-called government, a number of Whose officials are now in the hands of the Americans, the only work remaining now is the dispersal of smalli bands. With the arrival of new troops the opening of ports will soon begin. OTIS' REPORTS. Washington, May 24. Otis cabled as follows regarding the situation in Lu zon today: Manila, Nov. -24.

Governor Stone in an interview tonight deplored the criticism of Dewey for presenting his house to his wife.

Stone further said that the first duty of a husband owning a home was to place it in his wife's name. AGAINST BOYCOTTING. An Injunction Secured By Sun Pub lishing Company. New York, November 24.

FRENCH REPUBLIC'S FOREIGN RELATIONS A Statement by Minister Delecasse Deprecates the War in South Afri- ca Bu8sian Alliance. Paris, Nov. 24. In the chamber of deputies today Foreign Minister Del casse said that the government had not received sufficient information re garding the stoppage of a French ves sel by an English warship at Lorenzo Marquez to warrant action. He de preciated the partition of China and the extension of French territory there. He saw no humiliation to Framce, he de clared, in the settlement of the Fashoda incident. He said the government regretted the war in South Africa. A desire had been expressed that an offer of media tion be made, but the government could not take the initiative. He referred to the Franco-American commercial treaty as proof of a good understanding be tween the two countries. He declared the alliance of France and Russia was never closer than now. ANOTHER MOVE IN BANK CASES. 4t' TH1S TIME DEFENDANTS IN- NATIONAL BANK CASES SCOR ED A POINT. Circuit Court to Inspsct the Complete Records. Defendants Now Rejoicing in a Much Brighter Hope for a1 New Trial in First National Cases A Bit of Shake speare. 'A petition for a rehearing of the mandamus proceedings aerainst Judee Thomas R. Purnell was denied by tha circuit court of appeals at Richmond yesterday. An order was issued, however, di recting C. B. Moore, clerk of the United States court at AshevHle, to transmit to the circuit court of appeals all the original evidence in the First National bank cases. WHAT IT MEANS. To the uninitiated the foregoing may appear like the relation of a very com monplace matter of fact, but with a little legal explanation it means thnt the defense in the First National bank cases has, in gridiron language, kicked a goal square between the poles. A few days ago attorneys for the de fendants, Dickerson and Breese, moved for mandamuses to compel Judge Pur nell to make a resttlement of the bill of exceptions in the bank oases. The motion was denied, but now comes the instructions to Clerk Moore, all of which brings forcibly to mind the "rose by any other name" story. Judge Pur nell had denied to admit a great deal of the evidence which the attorneys for the defense desired very much to use in the prayer for a new trial. In fact the order will give the attorneys an opportunity to bring to the atten tion of the appellate court the very ev idence upon which the defendants base their hope for a new trial. THE RECORDS. Tt is said that the records now before the court are entirely incomplete and unsatisfactory. In many instances there is a mere reference to the excep tion without the evidence. Some of th exceptions, it is further said, required certain parts and others the complete evidence, so they could be presented in such a way as to be intelligently con sidered by the court. The complete record will hardly be considered during the present term of the court of appeals. One page of the record was stricken out and some surprise was manifested because Judge Purnell, in striking out the page, wrote thereon the words: "Out, damned spot." There is nothing harsh about this phrase. In fact the judge merely gave the matter a liter ary turn by running in a bit of Shake speare. In the murder scene in Mac beth Lady Macbeth cries: "Out damn ed spot, out I say!" PYTHIANS ENTERTAIN, Asheville Lodge Receives Pisgah Lodge and Visitors at Castle Hall. Asheville Lodge, Knights of Pythias, gave an entertainment at the jCastle hall last night complimentary to Pis gah lodge and visiting Pythians. The affair was entirely impromptu and there was not time to send out invita tions to each Pythian but the result was said by those present to be the best -thing of its kind ever given here by the order. The tone of good1 fellow ship prevailed from the beginning, and the sound of the festivities reached the street below until a late hour. The entertainment consisted of music, song3 and sketches by professionals, followed by speeches by members of Pisgah and Asheville lodges. This in turn was succeeded by a bountiful oyster sup per with the accompaniment of music. The lodge voted donations of money to the hospital and Flower Mission as Thanksgiving gifts . A standing toast to the lodge's com mittee on entertainment Donald Gillis, Mark W. Brown and J. W. C Deake, was drunk. AMATEUR THEATRICALS. An Excellent Performance at ' the Opera House. The amateur theatrical entertain men at the opera house last evening, under the direction of C. Garvin Gil- maine, was an excellent performance. Though rather long it was well present ed. Mr. Albert Risher as a country gen tleman deserved especial mention, though he had by no means a leading part. In the role of an old maid Mr. Gil maine was at his best and won pio longed applause. Social hits were brought in well up on several occasions. Mr. Frank Dar by's specialty, the clog dance, was one of the best features of the program, and there was genuine regret that he would not follow "Dixie" with some other fancy steps. Miss Sawyer'3 solo was sung with all the sweetness that is characteristic of her selections, and her hearers were most sincere in their desire for an encore. Mr. Bar rett, Miss 'Sawyer, Mrs. James Sawyer, Miss Blanche Acheson, Miss Carrier, Miss Nina Acheson, Miss Branch, Miss Johnson, Mrs? Piatt, Mr. Roy Somsr ville and Captain Gwym played their parts well. A quartette behind the scenes did some good1 singing. SERGEANT BILL ANTHONY KILLS HIMSELF. One of the Battleship Maine Heroes Dies From a Dose of Cocaine. New York, Nov. 24. Sergeant Bill Anthony, of battleship Maine fame, found suffering from 'a dose of cocaine, taken with suicidal intent, in Central park today. He was removed to the hospital. A stomach pump was used in vain, Anthony dying twenty min utes after entering the hospital. It was Sergeant Anthony who after the terrible explosion on the Maine, made his way to Captain Sigsbee's cabin and cooly notified the captain that the ship was blown up and wis sinking. GREATEST OBSTACLE IS CUBAN DISTRUST. Farmers' Petition Refused Sbarretti In Disfavor. Havana. Nov. 24. Governor General Brooke, in a report today, says the greatest obstacle, to contend with is the distrust of the Cubans, but a ma jority of them is beginning to see that a government administered by Ameri cans is best. He declares in the reor ganization of the courts great difficulty Is encountered because of the peculiar ity in existing' laws, which aTe difficult to modify. Revising the system, he says, admits of many albuses. Brooke expresses the hope that when agriculture is restored the municipal revenues will meet municipal require ments. He says the request of the farmers that they be furnished1 with cattle and tools has been refused be cause compliance would tend to encour age pauperism. The priests of Havana have decided not to meet 'Mgr. Sbarretti, the newly appointed bishop of Havana, when1 he arrives. It was also decided to request Washington to annul the appointment . Bandits are reported terrorizing the people at Managua. OBJECT OF WOOD'S MISSION. Washington, Nov. 24. It was ascer tained today that General1 Wood, who is now on his way from Santiago, had been sumTnoned to Washington to con sult McKinley with a view of arrang ing a scheme of civil government for Cuba. HANGED PROTESTING INNOCENCE. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 24. Tom Mitchell and Edwtird Luckie were hanged at Darlington today for crim inal assault on Josephine Mafferty, a white woman, on October 8. To the last Mitchell protested his innocence. He hanked the people for not lynching him when he was first arrested. Luck ie admitted Mitchell's entire innocence. The traps were sprung together and the necks of both were broken. "ON THE SQUARE99 I Vintage of 1893. , I L 8 1 . GRAPE . .. WINE. . VINEGAR NONE i GUARANTEED PURE. BETTER.

Boer Prisoners Say Their Army Wag Taken by Surprise. BRITISH PURSUIT OF THE DE FEATED ENEMY WAS IMPOSSI BLE BECAUSE OF LACK OF CAV ALRY BRITISH WOUNDED DO ING WELL. London, Nov. 25. The Mail's corre spondent, in a despatch from Belmont, estimates that five hundred Boers were killed in the engagement there on the 23d. DETAILS STILL LACKING. London, Nov. 24. Various newspa per reports from Belmont add nothing of substantial value to General Me thuen's despatch of yesterday. There is no detailed story written with the principals' knowledge, and several tel egrams, though dated at Belmont, bear 'iinmistakaible evidence of a common and amateur source." The best critics here confess they are bewildered by the versions givenby the correspond ents of the fight, and they aliandon any attempt to reconstruct the scenes from these despatches. On one point there is & practical concurrence of opinion, namely, that the lack of cav alry prevented an effective attempt in pursuit of the enemy. Indeed there is a disposition in many quarters to sus pect that the affair was far from a crushing blow. THE BATTLE AT BELMONT. London, Jw. )24. The- Dai'ly MaH'a correspondent at Belhiont in sending details of yesterday's fight between General Methuen's forces and the Boers says the British force consisted of 7,000 and , the Boers 5,000, and that the en gagement consisted ff a series of bat tles, during which,the Boers constantly carried off their dead and wounded. The victory would have been more de cisive if the British had had more cav alry, as many of the Boers escaped eastward and were not pursued. The correspondent places the British losses at 200, and says the wounded are doing well. Among the prisoners, the correspond ent says, are a German command and six field cornets. He adds that the pris oners say that yesterday's attack was a surprise and that it is the only de feat they have received. He says the Boers' loss is unknown. AT MAFEKING. A despatch received from Mafeking, dated November 15, says: "The garrison is cheerful but the po 'sition is dailv errowine: more difficult. The Boers are always- drawing their entrenchments closer and are inces santly plying the British with artil lery and musketry fire. The garrison is living almost entirely in underground shelters and the health of the troops & snffering." PATHETIC SCENES. London, Nov. 24 The pathetic scenes which marked the days following the engagements between the British and; Boers at Glencoe ahd Nicholson's Nek I found a counterpart at the war office today.
