AGUINALDO AGAIN ESCAPES CAPTURE Bird aid Fist Arroaii' Wltk Her Bottom Badly Store Her Crew Oa As iliatf Fire Milei Away. By Cable to tbe Morning Star. M asila,Not. 14 The United States cruiser Chrleston ran aground sear Vijfan, on a hidden reef, with-thirty five fathoms of water on both sides. She worked her machinery for two days and nights in trying to get afloat, but a typhoon arising', the crew were compelled to take to their boats and seek refute oa a small island fire miles away. The natives are friendly. Lieutenant McDonald and a number of sailors pot off in a small boat and reached the Calioa, which brought thatn to Manila. The gunboat Helena has been dis patched to bring away the crew. Lieutenant McDonald describes the Charleston when he last saw her as hard and fast aground, with her bot tom badly stove, and well out of water. Manila, Not. 14, 8 P. M. Further details regarding the grounding of the United Sutea cruiser Charleston show that she struck an unchartered coral reef ten miles east of Kamiguin island. Her a ern was almost submerged and the bow almost out of the water. A heavy sea was on and the cruiser be gan rolling violently. The water tight doors were quickly closed, but were stove in under the engine compart ment, the largest of the ship. After the first efforts to right her. the offi cers feared she might slide off because of the heavy sea and therefore aban doned the attempt to save her. They harried to the launch and boats and rowed away, prepared to fight for a landing with two Colt guns, 134 rifles and ten days' rations. Some of the officers and men were dressed only in pajamas and their underclothing. The breech blocks of the cannon were re moved before the boats put off. Two hours after the Charleston had struck all had gotten away. The report that the crew remained two days on the vessel is inaccurate. A party returned two days later, but found it impossible to ave anything. The first landing was made on a little island with a front of barren rocks. Next day the boaU again took to the water and proceeded to Kami gain island, where a landing was made in the expectation that fiehtioe would be necessary. So far from this being the case, however, the Charleston's men found a half-savage people, who regarded them with curiosity rather than hostility. On the third day the storm had greatly subsided and Lieutenant John D. McDon aid with boatswain Dominick Qlinn and six men started for the Gulf of Liogtyen in a thirty foot sailing launch, hoping to find an American warship but entirely ignorant of Gen. "Wheaton's expedition. Lieut. Mc Donald was four days afloat, keeping under shelter of the hostile shore for two days on account of high seas, being most of the time in a soaking rain. Finally, flying the union jack down, clad in their underclothiog and drencht-d to the skin, the officer and his companions overtook the transport Aztec, which carried them to the bat tleship Oregon. The Chaileston lies practically in the open sea and there is no hope of saving her or the valuable parapher nalia and contents of the cruiser.

The whereabouts of Aguinaldo and his army and cabinet is a perfect enigma. General Otis has learned that Aguinaldo recently issued a proclamation transferring the capital to Bongabong, givin as a reason for the step the unsanitary condition of Tarlac. It is supposed that the leaders of the insurrection whq are not already at Bongabong are retreating to that place though when they left Tarlac, wheth er they are travelling with the army, how many soldiers they were able to hold together, and whether the lead era or the troops have got beyond General Lawton's line, are all un known. It is hoped, however, that General Wheaton has effected a junc tion with General Young, forming a cordon from San Fabian to San Isadro. General Lawton has 6,000 men, Gen eral Wheaton 2,700 a small force to control so many miles, but it com mands the main roads by -which the insurgents must move to the north east. With the Americans advancing at the present rate they could drive the insurgents from Bongabong in a fortnight; and it is impossible for the rebels to establish another capital in Luzon which cannot be captured with in a month. Insurgents Sarprised. The rapid approach of the Ameri cans was a complete surprise to tbe insurgents, as the latter expected them to move slowly, as they did from Ma nila to Angeles. The Filipinos thought it impossible for the Americana to make headway in the mud, which pre vailed everywhere, and the sudden in vasion astounded the natives along the line of General Young's march, who had been told that the Americans were confined to the suburbs of Manila. A majority of the natives welcome the army enthusiastically, but some who have been deluded by stories of Ameri can cruelties hide in swamps. Women who are unable to flee fall upon their knees, upholding crucifixes and beg giog to be spared. When the news spreads that the Americans intend to remain and establish order the popu lation fl'jck to their homes, bringing with them their cattle and household goods " The insurgents have drained the re sources of the provinces. Tne army has impressed a large share of the crops and the people are miserably poor. everywhere are elaborate trenches, built by the non combatants, working day and night. Filipinos Supplies Captured. The Fight for tbe Governorship Disputes la Seven Counties Will be Renewed Before the State Board. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. Louisville, Ky., November 14. The progress of tbe contests in vari ous counties in the State is the point in which interest in the fight for the governorship is centered. The deter mination of these disputes may awiog la either direction the result or the face of the returns as they will be made to the Slate board, of election commissioners.- These con teats-involve over 4 000 votes in seven coun ties, as follows: Christian county, 95 votes, Taylor's plurality in one precinct at Hopkins ville, which was to day thrown out by the county election officers. Johnson county, where the 878 plu rality for Taylor is being disputed by the Democrats on the ground of al leged irregularities. Knox county, 1,835 plurality for Taylor, in contest. Under a manda tory order of Judge Brown, at Br bourville, these returns have been certified by the county election .of BODY-SNATCHERS CAUGHT. Four Tracks, Each Coatainlog a Corpse, Seized in St Louis An Uadertaker of Memphis Arrested. Br Telegraph to (be Morning etar. St. Louis. Mo., NovembrH Four sine lined trunks, such as are used by travelling men to carry samples, each containing a corpse, were taken from the baggage room at Union station to dav, and E. D. Thompson, a brother of Frank Thomp&on. who savs he is city undertaker of Memphis, Tenn., is under arrest. .Coarges against Thomp son are being formulated. For some time the police have been aware that a tradic in human bodies has been going on through this city and have been on the watch for evi deuce. Recently a shipment of four bodies in trunks was made, addressed to w. u. iiamsen, at Keokuk, Iowa, to whom those captured to-day were consigned. ' When taken to police headquarters Thomp-on made a clean breast of the whole affair. He said he had the con tract for burying the city dead of Mem phis. For some time he had been sell ing the bodies to medical colleges in this part of the country. His method was to pack them with excelsior in drum mer's xinc-lined trunks and take them with him as baggage as far as St Louis. From here he shipped the trunks to their destination by express. Thomp son said he had been paid all the wav from $50 to $200 per body. He said the name W. H. Hamaen, to whom the trunks were addressed in Keokuk, is a fictitious one, but refused to state who his consignee is. In the trunks are the bodies of three negroes, two men and a boy, and a white woman. From ap pearanceathey all died of consumption or some other wasting disease. The white woman's features are regular and her hair black. Her front teeth are gold filled. All the bodies are preserved. The Americans found big stores of rice at Tarlac, Tubig and elsewhere, and several thousand new Filioino uniforms were captured at Tubig Thirty insurgents surrendered to General MacArthur, each receiving $30 for his gun. . Major Marsh's battalion of the Thirty-third regiment, which in cludes many old rough riders from the Southwest, attacked four hundred Filipinos three miles from San raoian, on tne uagupan road, on Friday. n The Filipinos had been fir ing at the outposts. Major Marsh found them entrenched across the river. Their trenches had been made after General Wheaton'a arrival. Mj.r Marsh charged them, a por tion of his battalion fording the stream and part crossing by tbe bridge. When the Americans ap proached, the (Filipinos, who were afraid to show their heads, poked their rifles above the trench and fired blindly. Major Marsh's force pur sued them -for a mile. Fourteen Fili pinos were left behind, including the lieutenant colonel commanding on the field. Two Americans were wounded. Threatened Attack oa Imas. ficers, but the contest undoubtedly will be renewed before the State board. Mercer county, 286 plurality for Taylor. The Democratic chairman from tbe election board has filed notice of contest in three large Re publican precincts, alleging various irregularities. If these precinct should be thrown out Goebel Mid have a safe plurality in the county. The county election board has ad journed, bat the contest will come before the State bo rd. Nelson county, 1,198 votes are be ing contested by the Democrats on the ground that they were certified for W. P. Taylor instead ol W. S. Tay lor. The Republicans today filed suit at Bardstown against the county election commissioners and the elec tion officers in the thirteenth precinct involved, seeking to obtain a manda tory injunction to compel the election officers to certify these 1,198 votes for W. 8. Taylor. This matter will also come before the State board. Pulaski countv, 300 votes in con test Taylor's plurality was 1,546 in eluding tbe 300 which came from five precincts where contests have been instituted. Harrison county, 135 votes in con test. The State board of election commis sioners will meet at Frankfort Decem ber 4th. Before it tbe points involved in these disputed ballots will be argued by the leading counsel of the State. The official count in Jefferson county is progressing satisfactorily, with little change in tbe unofficial figures. Five wards have been completed. Thirty five cases of alleged viola tors of election laws came up before Judge Ton ey today. Each of the prisoners was held in $500. Bombardment of Kimberley Coatlanes. More Troopships Prom England Hare Arrived at Cape Town More- -meats of General Boiler. By Cable to the M orniBg Star. " London, November 15. There is no additional news regarding the progress of hostilities in South Africa thia morn, ing, except a dispatch from Mafeking, forwarded by a runner, dated October 31st, which says that during the after noon General Crou je, the Boer com mander, sent an envoy to Colonel Baden Powell, under a flag of truce, to declare that he did not consider the Geneva convention authorized tbe flag f the Rfd Cross Society to fly from several buildings at once in the town, and that in his opinion the employ ment of natives against whites and the use of dynamite mines were both op posed to the rules of war. Colonel Baden-Powell replied that the Geneva convention d:d not stipu late as to the number of Red Cross stations permissible, and that the Boers were only required to respect the con vent, the hospital and the women's laager all of which were beyond the town limits The British commander also pointed out that mines were rec ognized adjuncts of civilized warfare. and that the defences of Pretoria were extensively mined. Moreover, he re mind General Cronje that the Boers bad fir-d upon natives, burned their kraal and raided their cattle, and that the natives only defended their hvta and property. Dfpit three warnings from Colonel Baden-Powell the Boers continued d -libera tely to shell the hospital aud the woman's laager. The sending of the Boer envoy was regarded, the dis patch says as a mere pretext for pene trating the British lines at Mafeking. According to the latest reports, the town is confident of its ability to hold out until th end of the campaign. So far as Kimberly is concerned, the mental condition of the British there may be judged from the fact that three weddings have taken place since the siege began, the last having been cele brated on November 8th. No Defiaite News from Lady smith. The great delay on South African cables, now amounting to practically five days, and the lack of any definite news from Ladysmitb gives rise to some apprehension, which is only re lieved by the fact that no adverse tid ings have come from either British or Boer sources. Nothing is known as to the where abouts of Sir ReOvers Buller. H. M. S. Powerful bas arrived at Simons Bay from Durban and b9gun to coal. The cruiser will return to Durban im mediately with more guns. Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for India, announced in a speech last evening that a relief force would immediately be sent to Lady smith, but beyond that nothing is known of tbe British plan of campaign and equal mystery shrouded the movements of the Boers. Report' of the Statistician of the ArrlcnJ. tnral Department Smallest Yield of Cotton for Many Yean. ; t By Telegraph to tbe Moraine star. ; . - - .' Washington D. C? Not. 14. The atatiatician of the Department of Agri culture, in a report sent to the press to-day, says that the fact that, tbe preliminary . official estimate of the cotton crop several times has turned out to be an underestimate has been due in every instance to a failure to keep pace with the rapid expansion of the productive" area. When, there fore, the very large crop of last year" made it manifest that the acreage had increased beyond both official and almost all commercial estimates.it was j . : i . . ... . . , 3 aeiermtueu iu institute a special ana a very thorough investigation into the entire crop situation this year. The productive area last year is found to have been .25,000,000 acres and that for the -present year to be 23,500,000 acres with a probability that .the final returns will show the present acreage to have been below rather than above tbe amount stated The investigation discloses one of the smallest average yields per acre in many years and in estimating the total crop at a maximum of 9,500,000 bales a substantial and most amp al lowance has been made for any tend ency to take a too pessimistic view of the situation, the actual indications at the present moment pointing1 to a crop of less than 9,000,000 bales. Tbe re port further says: "In his capacity as a cotton expert to the United 8tates commission, the statistician- has had the preparation of tbe United States cotton exhibit for the Paris Exposition, and his duties in that connection have afforded him additional facilities for ascertaining the actual condition of the crop in every part of the country. The unimpeachable evidence that has come to him in that capacity is every way confirmatory of the most un favorable official reports." m Nonoas For Bent or Bale, Lost or Found, Wants, and other short Miscellaneous Adver tisements Inserted In tills Department, In solid Konpartel Type, on first or fourth page, at Pub Usher's option, for 1 eeat per word each lnser tlon; but no advertisement taken for less than ttQ eemta.

Yesterday they attacked Calamba in the usual fashion. A nightly fusilade between the marines and the hundred of insur gents who have again intrenched themselves on the Isthmus between Cavite and Novelta is plainly heard in manna. On Saturday the Filipinos attempted to entrap the marines by landing a force from canoes behind them. The searchlights of the Petrel discovered the preparations to embark and a few hots from the Monad ooc It and Petrel's guna spoiled the game. a. proclamation of the Filipino sec retary of war was found in one of the villages, eiving glowing accounts of alleged Filipino victories, saying that 7 500 Americana had been killed and 15.000 wounded during the war.

Their place had been closed January laat by order of the civil government because they had refused to serve a crowd of Cuban (renerala, but they had been allowed to open their saloon on prem ising to serve the public without dis tinction of color. The defendants have appealed the case, the costs of which already amount to $2,000.
