Manila, Nov 13. —Colonel Bell’s regiment and a small force of cavalry en- ■ tered Tarlae last night without opposi- ! tion. Where Aguinaldo, with his army and j the so-called government, has fled is a mystery. Manila, Nov. 13.—General Mac Arthur and General Lawton are closing in on Tarlae. Communication with distant points is impossible except by means of government wire which is crowded with official business, General MacArthur took Bamban Saturday. This Is supposed to be the strongest position held by the Filipinos except Tarlae. The brief accounts of the engagement received indicate that the rebels fought according to their recent tactics, retreating after firing a few volleys. One officer of the Thirty-sixth regiment is the only American reported

killed. General Mac Arthur began his advance with Colonel Smith and the Seventeenth regiment, on the right; Major Bell’s command and the Thirty-sixth on ' the left and th" Ninth in the center. Colonel Smith encountered a small i force, easily dispersing the rebels. Major Bell seem e 1 a • ■si tic n >n the m jnntain, from which he poured an enfiliading fire from rifles and Hotchkiss guns : upon the first line of the enemy’s j trenches. The Fi ipinos stood the fire for 20 minn'-s and then retreated to ' the mountains. General Mac Arthur ! entered Bamban aud Colonel Smith occupied Capas, the first town beyond. I General Lawton's headquarters is j still at Cahiuatun. General Young with his cavalry and ; infantry is still pushing anead through j the fearful rand, bat his exact whereabouts Is not known. TRAiN-WRECKERS Michigan Central Passenger Ditched by Fiends—Many People Are Injured. Toledo, Nov. 10—A Michigan Central passenger train from this city to Detroit, was ditched bv the spreading of rails last night, between Alexis and Vienna, Mich. Three persons were fatally Injur-d. They are: John McKay, Indianapolis, rib broken, cut about fare and head by glass. Fireman John O’Neil. Detroit, cut about face end he.: I by glass Engineer William Hamilton, bruised and probably Internally injured. Fifteen or twenty other pcssengers were bruised and shaken up, some of them receiving slight wounds. William Hamilton, the engineer, was : thrown through the window of his cab ! and was badly bruised by the fall, as ■well as cat about the face and head. His injuries may prove serious. He retained, however, sufficient presence of j mind, when he recovered from the shock, to hurry to his engine and draw the fire, thus preventing an explosion. Eight cars, six passenger coaches and the baggage and mail cars, were piled up in a ditch. The accidont was the result of a deliberate piece of work by unknown train wrecWs, and happened at a point just beyond a short trestle. Two freight trains had passed over the road in safety a short time before. Where the rails were spread it was found that the bolts that held the fishplates had been unscrewed. The nuts were lying on the ties and the threads of the bolts were not marred in any way. A couple of tag wrenches, such as sectionhands use, were found lying beside the track, indicating how the rails had been loosened. Pittsburg, Nov. IS.—A double-headed Pittsburg aud Lake Erie frieght train Q t 55 loaded oars crashed into the caboose of another train at McKees Rocks and piled the wreckage up high. Three j men were in tbe caboose.

KIMBERLEY IN PERIL BOER- REPORTED TO HAVE IT St’RKOENDED IN GREAT N EMBERS. BRITISH SOLDIERS OPEN FIRE On the Enemy, bat Soon Retire to a New Position — Bombardment of Ladysmith Continues and Apparently Is Effective. Cepe Town, Nov. 13.—The following telegram, undated, has been received from Kimberley by dispatch rider, via Hope Town, Nov. 4 “In yesterday’s fight the Boers made their appearance near Carter’s farm. The British opened fire with a Maxim, the enemy replying with rifles. By mistake our fire went down into the valley, killing a member of the Capa polioe and wounding another. The British finally retired on the reservoir, where two guns were brought up to shell the Boers. The result is not known. Meanwhile some Boers had occupied Kampers Dam, firing with one gun on Otto’s kopje, but

not getting the range, they did no damage. It is believed that six Boers were killed in the first fight. "The Boers now surround Kimberley in great numbers and are bent on ‘lifting’ cattle and harrassiug the British. New alarm signals were sounded at 10 o’clock this morning, the enemy having been sighted in greater numbers and close to our outposts. They fired on a patrol under Major Peakman, which engaged them, but the firing was at long range. The only casualty was the wounding of Major Ayleff of the Cape police. “The enemy’ lifted’ forty cattle northeast of Sanitarium, subsequently firing eight shells in the neighborhood of Felsmeads farm at Kenilworth. They did no damage and retired. Later they fired on a number at convicts who were working near tne Sanitarium ana eventually went off with a large number of cattle and donkeys. “The Boers are well mounted and from the dips in the veldt they appear and disappear with marvelous rapidity bent on‘lifting’cattle. The demonstration made to the southwest today was only a feint to cover the unseceessful

movement at Kenilworth after cattle. Their fieldgnn shooting was poor, all the shells failing short. HUGH CALDRON OF SMOKE Ladysmith Withstanding a Big Bombardment by the Boers. Estconrt, Nov. O. —A party which rode oat several miles today to observe the bombardment of Ladysmith could see a “long tom” (a 40-pounder), posted on the railway side of the Bulwara, firing at intervals of six times a minute. Another gun was engaged a little distance away. Puffs of smoke were discernable on the opposite side, showing that Ladysmith was withstanding a big bombardment. The locality of the town was nothing hut a huge caldron of smoke. Heavy firing is now proceeding in direction of Ladysmith. It began at daybreak. Some reports are so much heavier than others previously heard as to lead to a general belief that the British heavy naval gnus are again active. All Well at Mafeking. London, Nov. 13.—The following dispatch from Colonel Baden-Powell, British commander at Mafeking, dated Oct. 25, and forwarded by General Boiler, was posted yesterday evening by the war office; “All is well here. After two days shelling and a heavy bombardment a body of the enemy made a general attack on three sides of the town which weis repulsed by our Maxim fire. The enemy is no .7 drawing off. Our casualties were slight. “Lieutenant Llewellyn, with several armored trains, drove off the enemy at Crocodile Pool on Wednesday, killing eight.” CHIEF JOEL Indications That the Basutos Will Join the Boers. Maseru, Basutoland, Nov. o. —The indications are that Chief Joel, of the Basutos, will join the Boers, who are likely to annex a strip of the northern territory of Basutoland. The other chiefs, However, are staunch and there is no cause for alarm. British Troops Arriving. London, Nov. 14—A dispatch from Cape Town to the war office announces the arrival there yesterday of the troopship .Armenian with three batteries of artillery and an ammunition column, and the troopship Nubia, with the Soots guards and half a battalion of the Northamptonshire regiment.

UNCERTAIN How the People of Kentucky Voted a Week Ago at Their State Election. Louisville, Nov. 13. — The second week of uncertainty regarding the result of the balloting for governor of Iv ntneky begins with little : r of immediate relief. The official count . is been in progress two day - and offi•ial returns from a iorge majority of t-.- 119 counties have narrow tuiconic it down to a no-- flash. L. i side ciaims the elect. on of its tick :, but the estimated plurality of either does not exceed 3,Odd. While ta - returns s o far received favor Taylor, ;-e remit of the ; count may hinge on the decision given j by the county election commissioners ; in several places where contests have begun on the ground of alleged irreguUnties. One of these contests (that ia Nelson county) has been decided adversely to the Republicans. It involves 1,193 votes —nearly as many as either side claims as its plurality. The Democrats will contest the votes of some of the mountain counties, which return large Republican pluralities. The most important county involved is Knox, which gave Taylor 1,398 plurality. There are also contests in three precincts in Louisville which went Repub-

Liverpool, Nov. 14 — The British steamer Volta, from the German Cameroons, West Africa, which arrived here yesterday, reports that a German punitive expedition in the Cameroons recently chastized a tribe of rebellious cannibals, who had besieged several trading stations near Krlbi.
