ahead and indicate that the demoralization of the Insurgents is complete. Two dispatches were received to-day.

He was supplied by the navy gunboat Samar, and marched out next day. The battleship Oregon landed two hundred men at Vigan on the 24th Inst.; there was no opposition and the sailors were welcomed by th Inhabitants. The Spanish and American prisoners are still In the vicinity of IJanpued. guarded by small insurgent force. "Reports from the northeast Indicate that ftv hundred insurgent troops are at Iiayombong. Nueva Viscirya province surrendered yesterday to Lawton's troops. He advanced by both the San Nicolas and Caranglan trails." The second dl?patch states: "General llicArthur reports trcm Bayombong that Bell, with the Thirty-sixth lUglment and a company of the Thirty-third Infantry, struck the enemy commanded by Generals an Miguel and Alejandrino In the mountains west of Mangataren and by a series of combats through the mountains, has so scattered their forces that concentration Ij impossible, liell has captured all their -uick rlrinsr and Krupp gurj, ammunition, their powder factory and arsenal, with thousands of pounds of lead and sheet copper, all their transportation, engineering tools, clothing and food supplies. Property scattered over the mountains now being collected. Twenty of the killed and wounded of the enemy left on the field. Bell does not report casualitles; expected this een!ng " ADMIRAL WATSON'S IlEPOItT.

The Capture of Vlxan by Marines from the Dattleshlp Oregon. WASHINGTON'. Nov. 23. The following cablegram hasbeen received at the Navy Department from Admiral Watson, dated Cavite, Nov. 3: "Wilde reports tho capture of Vigan on Nov 2tf, by the Oregon's landing force under Lieutenant Commander McCracken with Lieutenants McCormick, Bostwlck, Johnston, Captain Williams and Lieutenant liermelcye of the marine corps. The landing was covered by the Callao, Tappun commanding, and the Samar, Mustln convmandlng. Slight resistance; no casualitles. Inhabitants welcomed the flag. McCracken is holding Vigan until relieved by the army. Lieutenant Gilmore is well, with seven men twenty-five miles from Vigan. Itecelved Meyer code letter from Gilmore by Albert Soslchen, a newspaper artist, who was with Gilmore seven months and escaped. Brought here by Samar. News from insurgents througn Spanish sergeant indicates the Urdanetao crew were killed, excep: the four following, Farey, Greene, Power, Burk. Names of the Gilmore party are Waiton, Vandoit, LMisworth. Brisolese, Anderson, Kd wards, Peterson. Some wounded were left at tialar. Gilmore has no news from them. Tho above dispatch taken in connection with the advices received to-day from General Oti. describing the success of the movements of the army under Young, encourages tho naval otilcials in the belief that perhaps by this time the American pr!joners referred to have already been released. With the naval contingent at Vigan, only twenty-five miles away to the i west and the army advance probably little further distant to the southeast, the town of Pangued is nearly surrounded and there is little chance for the escape of the Insurgent force there If they attempt to encumber themselves in their retreat with the prisoner. Taking the list of prisoners of Gllmore's party given in the cable from Admiral Watson as being at Bangued, the records of the Navy Department show that the following men must have been left at Balar, on the east coast of the island, where the Yorktown's boat's crew was captured last spring. John Dillon, Charles A. Mori?sey. Ora H. McDonald. William H. Rynders. O. W. Woodbury, D. G. Avenvlll .and A. J. Nlgard. Altogether the news from both army and naval sources to-day Is highly encouraging to the officials here, as indicating the practical end of the opposition of the Insurgents In the north of Luzon. So far as known tho only formidable force Is that left In Oavite province under General Tryan, and that operating in Panay. Ration . on the Manannse. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.

TWELVE MEN SWORN IN JURY FINALLY SECURED FOR TRIAL OF II. D. 3IOLINEUX. Tvrelve Days Devoted to the Tiresome Work The Defendant's Wife and Mother in Court. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. The twelfth and last Juror in the case of Roland B. Mollneux on trial cn the charge of causing the death of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, was socured at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Juror No. 12 Is Frederick B. Crane, a correspondent of the American Book Company. Earlier in the day Theodore Sandhop, a manufacturer, of chemical and surgical instruments, was selected as the eleventh juror. After the ceremony of administering the oath to Mr. Crane, Recorder Goff turned to the jury and explained that both the prosecution and the defense had consented to an adjournment until Monday, to-morrow being Thanksgiving day. He said that it was his desire to give the jurors a rest before entering on the arduous labors of the trial and that he was glad to be able to grant them the opportunity of spending the holiday with their family and friends. To secure this jury of twelve men required twelve days of tiresome and technical work on the part of the court and counsel. Five hundred and four talesmen were examined, but only fifteen could stand the test, a large majority of the candidates for the jury box being ruled out because of conscientious scruples concerning capital punishment, circumstantial evidence and expert testimony. Of the fifteen talesmen who were accepted three, -Daniel Fraad, Abraham Altmeyer and Morris Braude, were eventually excused by the recorder on the ground of ill health. During the morning hours of tho trial. Mrs. Blanche Cheseborough Mollneux and Mrs. E. L. Molineux, wife and mother of the prisoner were in tho courtroom. The two women were greeted by General Molineux, the father of tho defendant, when they entered. A few minutes later the prisoner came into the room. His face brightened perceptibly when he caught sight of his wife and mother, and hurrying forward he kissed them again and again. To-day is said to be the first anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Roland B. Molineux, and Mrs. Molineux is reported to have inristed on seeing her husband on the anniversary of her wedding. BLOODIEST YET. (Concluded from First Pace.) he asserted, "was because the Gladstone government believed the annexation of the Transvaal in 1S77 occurred under a misapprehension by Lord Beaconsfield that a majority of tne Boers desired annexation. It was afterwards proved that this was not their desire and the annexation was canceled." Referring to the basis and conditions of settlement after the war, Mr. Chamberlain said: "I do not like to divide the skin before I have caught the bear, but I must Insist that the Boers, by their own action, have created a clean sheet upon which we can write what we please, and I feel convinced that our loyal fellow-subjects in Cape Colony and Natal would regard no solution as durable which did not provide beyond the shadow of a doubt for the supremacy of the British flag the only guarantee of settled peace and the only security for the Just treatment of all the races of South Africa." FROM DOER SOURCES. Report of a Sortie from Klmberley The Belmont Flsht. PRETORIA, Nov. 27. General Dutort reports that the British made a sortie from Klmberley early on Saturday morning and fired on the Boers with artillery and Infantry In the darkness. The British sortied where the Blochmoef Boer force was stationed. On our (the Boer side) there were three hundred men. Genral Dutort. who was nine miles off, hastened to the assistance of the Bloemhoef contingent with a hundred men. Nine burghers were killed, seventeen wounded and there were some missing. The British left on the field a private and a sergeant. It is reported that the British attempted to leave Klmberley on the east side to assist the troops from Belmont. Commandant Lubbe was slightly wounded. The British have repaired the damage to the railroad. The Free Staters engaged with the British were overwhelmed by numbers and. after a brave stand until the afternoon, we were compelled to take up another position on the other side of the railroad. Delary says It is impossible to give the number of the killed and wounded Boers, but the loss is not great. The Boers had four guns to the British's twenty-four. The general says the Free Staters are full of courage. The latter part of the foregoing dispatch (from "the Free Staters engaged "), evidently refers to either the battle of Belmont or the battle of Enslln or Gras Pan. Mass for Repose 'of Souls.
