B°dy of a Filipino Officer Removed After n Volley From Maj. March's Hen—He Shot From a Richly Saddled Horse Upon Which Some of Agrnlnaldo's Papers Were Found—Hurd aud Persistent WorT. of March's Little Band. Vigan, Luzon, June 2, via Manila, June I. Maj. March, with his detachment of the Thirty-third Regiment, overtook what 1* believed to have been Aguinaldo’s par ty, on May 18, at Lagat, about one hun dred miles northeast of Vigan. The Americans killed or wounded! an officer, supposed to be Aguinaldo, whose body was removed by his followers. Aguinaldo had one hundred men, Maj. March 126.' The American commander reached Laboangan, where Aguinaldo had made his headquarters since March 6, on May 7. Aguinaldo had fled seven hours before, leaving all the beaten trails, and traveling through the forest along the beds of streams. Toward evening. May 19, Maj. March struck Agulnaldo's outpost about a mile outside of Lagat, killing four Filipinos and capturing two. From the latter he learned that Aguinaldo had camped there for the night. Although exhausted and half-starved, Maj. March's men entered Lagat on the run. They saw the insurgents scattering Into the bushes or over the plateau. A thousand yards beyond the town, on the mountain side, the figures of twenty-five Filipinos dressed in white, with their leader on a gray horse, were silhuoetted against the sunset. The Americans fired a volley and saw the officer drop from his horse. His followers fled, carrying the body. The Americans, on reaching the spot, caught the horse, which was richly sad dled. Blood' from a badly wounded man was on the animal and on the ground. The saddle bags contained Agulnaldo's diary and some private papers, includln proclamations. One of these was address ed: "To the Civilized Nations.” It pro tested against the American occupation of the Philippines. There were also found copies of Senator Beveridge’s speech, translated Into Spanish and entitled "The Death Knell of the Filipino People." Still Followed Them T r p.' Maj. March, believing that the Filipinos had taken to a river, which is a tributary to the Chico, followed it for two days, reaching Tino, where he learned that a party of Filipinos had descended the river Way 20 on a raft with the body of a dead or wounded man, upon a litter, cov ered with palm leaves. There Maj. March reviewed his com mand, shoeless and exhausted, and pick ed out twenty-four of the freshest men, with whom he beat the surrounding coun try for six days longer, but without find ing any trace of the insurgents. The Americans pushed on and arrived at Apur ri. May 29. The officer shot was either Aguinaldo or his adjutant; and as the horse w;s richly caparisoned, it is a foir presump tion that it was Aguinaldo. The soldiers Of Gen. Young, military Governor of Northwestern Luzon, cap tured early last month, an insurgent offi cer with papers revealing Agulnaldo's whereabouts. Gen. Young immediately organized for pursuit, giving Maj. March a chance to finish the work begun in November. Maj. March left Camion, May 10, hurrying north towards Laboa gan, while Col. Hare, with a battalion divided into two parts, started from Rangued, province of Abra, covering the trails westward. The garrisons in the Cagayan valley were disposed in such a way as to guard the avenues of escape eastward. Wlmt Maj. March Learned. Sides heralded the approach of IMaj. March with signal Area. On reaching La hoagan, he apprehended a letter in Agui naldo's handwriting, the ink of which was hardly dry, addressed to an officer of guerillas of the Filipino army, and say ing: "There having arrived this morning at Laboagan a hostile column from Bokoc. I have set out with all my force. My road has no fixed destination.” This was signed "Col. David.” a sou briquet. Aguinaldo called at thq pr- - dencia, from which he issued a decree, and where his follower* celebrated Easter With a banquet at a triangular table, when speeches were made eulogiz n? Gregorlc del Filar. Thru night Maj. March’s men slept In the bamboo, resuming the advance in ihe morning, and reaching foriy miles distant, in two days, although it was raining hard in* the mountains all the time. Aguinaldo’s papers are very Important. They show that he took refuge in Isa: e a province, where he remained until he es tablished himself at Laboagan, province of Abra. where ho proposed to direct the rainy season operations. Until reeenily he was Ignorant of outside events, m ik ing no pretense of directing the Insurrec tion, happy if indeed he might be able lo keep alive among Ihe hosdle Igorrot:*, Who killed several of his followers.

The latter we shall not ex ercise until we have had ample time to acquire sufficient knowledge of the situa tion to enable us to proceed to enact leg islative changes and reforms preliminary to the establishment qf a stable civil gov ernment. Until we assume authority, General MacArthur will continue to per form the duties and exercise the powers formerly performed and exercised by Gen eral Otis; and, even after we take active and full part in the government General MacArthur will continue as the executive head until, upon our recommendation to President McKinley, it shall seem to the President that the time has arrived for the appointment of an executive and for making Ihe military forces merely auxiliary in carrying on the civil government to be avertible only In cases of emergency for the sup pression of the lawless violence too for midable to be overcome by the regularly organized local police.

An Impressive Service Conducted by Cardinal Gibbons With Numerous Assistant*—Friend* From Savan nah and Other Cities Present on the Occasion of This Great Event of His Life—Ceremonies Lasted Four Hours. Richmond. Va., June 3.—With much pomp and ceremony. Very Rev, Benjamin J. Kelley was elevated to the Eplscopdty at St. Peter's Cathedral in this city this morning. The consecration of a Bishop of the Holy Catholic Church, is one of the most august of church ceremonials, and that to-day was, if anything, more imposing than usual. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, the moat distinguished prelate of the Catholic Hier archy, in this country, was the conse cfator, and he was assisted by no less than five bishops and about forty priests from various dioceses between New York and Savannah. The ceremonies began at 10:30 o’clock, and lasted for four hours. Very few lay persons present had ever seen a bishop consecrated, and the ceremony was im pressive and instructive, and one that will long live in the minds of those who wit nessed it. St. Peter’s Cathedral is not a large edi fice, though It Is a famous sanctuary, and admittance to the ceremonies was only by ticket. Bishop Kelley’s friends from Georgia, who came on to attend the consecration, had been provided in ad vance with seats, and they were accord ed '•the best pews in the church, whioh was uncomfortably crowded. Fentnres of the Service. The musical features of the service were very beautiful and were given by a choir of twenty-seven voices, accompanied by an organ and orchestra. The three altars of the church were lighted with Innumer able candelabra and decorated profusedly with flowers. The vestments worn by the attending clergy were rich and elaborate and the sanctuary was a magnificent sight, show ing the red and gold of the Cardinal, the purple of the bishops with the sombre black of the priests as a dark ground. Half a hundred altar boys attired in purple cassocks and white surplices, as sisted. Father Robert S. Kennedy, chanceller of the Diocese of Savannah, was master of ceremonies. Among the other priests from Georgia, were father McMahon from Augusta, FatherVWinkbried from Macon, Father McKle from Brunswick, and Father Gunn from Atlanta. When Bishop Kelley passed down the center aisle and back again, giving his blessing just after the ceremony had been concluded, it was a beautiful sight to see the congregation kneel io receive his sol emn blessing and when he. reached the first pew on his return to the sanctuary, he stopped to allow his brother to receive his blessing and kiss his ring. After the ceremonies, when the proces sion had pased from the churen to the Episcopal residWice, Bishop Kelley, after partaking of plight refreshments, held a genera! reception at the Episcopal resi dence, where he received for an hour. Uisliop's Friend* Present. Bishop Kelley was naturally In hi* hap piest vein, and it is evident that the pres ence of his friends from Savannah and other cities was very gratifying to him. Maj. John D. Kelley of New York, a brother of Bishop Kelley, with a -list n gutshed party from New Y'ork, was p:e‘- ent, and there were parties from Augusta and Atlanta, besides friends of the His' op from New York and other cltl.s. Amo g those who were present from Savannah were Mr. and Mrs. J. J. MctDonough, M. A. O'Byrne, P. F. Gleason, Jonn W. Golden, J. B. Maddock, Arthur J. O’Hara, Joseph J. Higgins, Edward Hartfelder, H. I. O’Connor, C. J. McCarthy and Jo e; h W. HelTernan. Father McLaughlin of New York, who has lectured and sung in Savannah Sev eral times, came down and assisted In the consecration. ' • This afternoon Maj. Kelley gave a din ner at one of the hotels, at which present the delegation from Savannah and several of the visiting clergy. At the same time, in another room. Car dinal Gibbons and some of the more emi nent of the prelates were dining, and at Its conclusion, ihe visitors were invited in and were present when the eminent car dinal, brilliant and distinguished, even in his feebleness,' made some congratula tory remarks about the newly consecrat ed bishop, and there were other pleasant things said by those present. Bishop Keiley will leave here with his parly In a private cur attached to the regular Southern train at noon to-mor row and will arrive in Savannah early Tuesday. He has been deluged with con gratulatory telegrams to-day from every where. INSPIRING AND IMPOSING AVns tile Ceremony lVUrli Made Father Kelley a Bishop. By Aps.elated Pr< ss. Richmond, June 3.—The Rev. Benjamin J. Keiley was consecrated Bishop of Sa vannah at SI. Peter's, the Cathedral church of the Virginia diocese, in Rich mond, to-day. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore was the consecrator, assisted by the Right Rev. John J. Monaghan, Bishop of Wilming ton, Del., and he Right Rev. Henry P. Northrop, Bishop of Charleston, 8. C. The Rev.

Bishop Donohue and Bishop Hald were present in the sanctuary, with twenty seven visiting priests from (he diocese of Virginia, Savannah, Oa., and Baltimore. Admission to the Cathedral was by tick et only, and tha number so admitted was Unfitted to the seating capabl y. The Mc- Gill Catholic Union hud charge of the in terior arrangements and the members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society consti tuted the guard of honor. The cetemonl i began at 10:30 o’clock,. when the procession, which had been formed in the sacristy of the Cathedral, passed through the grounds of the epis copal residence, ard entered by the south dcor. An immense crowtl had gathered to watch the proc s don pass and so great was the imercst manifested in the event that hund.et s of pe pie stood without the Cathedral during the progress of the cer emeny. The cer-mony was splendid and impress ive. It lasted for nearly three hours and a half, but there was no sign of fatigue in the vast congregation. Haydn s second mass was sung by the choir of the Cathedral, which had been augment'd for the qc aslon by the addi tion of some of the moat pr mlnent vocal ists in Virginia, accqrnpanied by the or yan and full orchestra under the direc tion of Col. C. O'B. Cowardin, editor of the Richmond D spatch He Was n ATratrlnian. This is the fourth consecration that has occumd in the t'a hedral Church of Vir ginia, and Bishop Kelley is hitn se'f a Virginian, personally well known in this . corqpiunlty, and one of a very few sons of the Old Domin ion who has risen to any high distinction In the Catholic church. He was born In Petersburg, Va., Oct. 13, 1347, his father b’ir.g Mr. John D. Keiley, who was con sidered cne of the foremost educators if his t me, being principal of the Anderson ’Seminary from 1840 lo 1556, and afterwards conducting a very successful private school. Bishop Kelley was educated at St. Charles College, Elficott, Md., and at the American Collge In Rome. During the Civil War he served as a private In Gen. Kemper’s bilgade. He was a fellow stu dent at the Amerl an College in Rome of Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, the Rt. Rev. John McG 11, the late Bishop of this diocese, and Cardinal James Gib bons, of North Carolina. He was ordained priest in this Cathedral, and celebrated his silver Jubilee he e on New Year's day, 1 99. He was assigned by the late Bishop Pecker, of Wilmington, Del., to thp charge cf a church In the little city of Newcastle, in that diocese, and afterwards became rector of the Pro-Cathedral at Wilmington. When Bishop Becker was transferred to the See of Savannah, Fa ther Ke ley became adm’nlstrater of that diocese, and so remai ed until his appoint ment ty the Pope as the successor of hts beloved Bishop. He is. almost as widely, and as well known in Richmond as any priest who has served In this diocese. A Srhiilnr! > Hermes. The sermon of Father McCarthy we* a brilliant and scholarly effort. The church had been founded, he said, in order that God might be glorified by the : ai vation of souls. Man is not a solitary, but a social being, and society Is nothing but a harmonized aggregation cf fami lies. One of the greatest follies of mod ern times, he contended, is the fanqy that society Is independent of God. The alien ation of society from God, the seculariza tion of marriage and the divorce of rea son from revelation, were dwelt upon by the preacher at some length, AVhere Oei is, he said, He acts as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and man must be under the dominion of God, for God is every where and where He is, He acts. Continuing he spoke of the two sacra ments, Christian marriage and orders. The first, he sold, is the foundation of so ciety, the second is needful (o society. Continuing, he said that sacrifice was th* chief act of Worship. The obligations of a biehop, the requirements of one elected to fill that office, were pointed out, and were followed by an affectionate allusion to Blghop Kelley, with whom the preacher had been intimately acquainted for many years. The functions of a bishop., and a brief sketch of the meaning of the cere monies of conißcration, brought his dis course to a close. Cardinal Gibbons sang mass at the high altar, while the Bishop-elect said mass In the chapel of the Blessed Virgin. The praparatory examination, the delivery of the emblems of pastoral authority, and the various other ceremonies, inoident to the consecration, were ail conducted ir. front of the high altar. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin by the clergy, the Bishop-elect lying prostrate at tiie foot of the altar, and the singing of the Te Deum by the priests after the consecration, also were Interesting fea tures of the great function. Bishop Keiley was Invested with the pastoral staff of the late Bishop Becker, and also with the ring of the deceased pre late. This ring was presented to Bishop Beck er by his diocese when he celebrated his Jubilee a short time before hlg death. U is a magnificent amethyst, which' cost no less than $2,500. Maj. John D. Keiley, of New York, brother of the newly consecrated Bishop, and numerous other relatives, were pres, ent. After the ceremony, there ws x banquet a* Murphy’s Hotel, at which all the church dignitaries were present. The party will leave for their respective homes to-morrow. MARCUS DALY AVON THE SUIT.

FRENCH CLOSE TO PRETORIA. INDICATIONS ARE RESISTANCE WILL DF. FEEBLE. Pretoria Pictured as Bring in u State of Confusion nnd Clino,AA’ltli the British Expected Hourly—Foreign Envoys Getting Bendy lo l.rnve. Burghers Said to Be Deserting, Bnt the Iloers Do Not beeiu t Oni pletely Crushed. London, June 4, 4 a. m.—There is no di rect news from Pretoria of later data than Thursday evening. General French’s cav alry were then at Irene, eight miles south of Pretoria, and firing was heard there. Lord Roberta' messages about seconda ry operations elsewhere and the situation at Johannesburg, dated at Orange Grove, a farm four miles northeast of Johannes burg, show that on Saturday, kt 9:10 p. m„ he was twenty-five miles from Pre toria. The correspondents whh Lord Roberts have not got through a line about the op erations lending to the occupation of Jo hannesburg. Official messages continue to come through, but proas telegrams are held up, probably to avoid giving even a hint as to wlyu may be the pending op erations. From the other side there fil ters through Lorenzo Marquez a mass of statements, some contradictory, other* obviously improbable, but the following purporting to be facts: "Passengers arriving at Lorenzo Mar ques Saturday, direct from Pretoria, say that th* capital was preparing to surren der when they left Thursday. The forts were dismantled. The Boer guard at Komati Poort searched all trains, and turned back most of the fugitives, among them deserting foreigners, who wets striving to reach, neutral soil. "Immense Boer convoys of provisions are between Pretoria and Middle I >erg. Fifteen trains are sent dally to Mncha dssdoran, with supplies for Lydenburg. Pretoria is pictured by ihe refugee* ns in a state of indescribable confusion and chaos. The populace are dismayed, and the British are expected hourly.” Foreigner* AVnnt lo Leave. Some foreign attaches have arrived at Lorenzo Marques to communicate . with their governments for order* to leave, as they consider that organized war on the Transvaal side is at an end. , Flying among the Boer* are renoria that the British have been beaten bick at Ltndley, with, hetfVy loss, that the main attack on Elapdwonte n failed and Lord Roberts wav fore id to retire to Kltprlverberg. that rh*r|Wlway has be n cut behind him sod# ME Ver. erlng, and Ainu a provision train HRs bsen carptmel. Without firediting any of these Boer bul letins, everything from the field of war behind Lord Roberts points to a great ef fort last week to paralyze hi* advance by a bold stroke from the eastward at the railway north of Bloemfontein. No less than four Boer columns were in a move ment seemingly with this objective. There was a commando, in front of Gen. Bra bant, near Flcksburg, another faced Gen. Rumiel, near Senakal; a third occupied Lindley and pressed toward the railway, and a fourth seized Heilbron end pushed toward Kroonstad. These operations, as suming them to have been Independent, all appear to have failed. Burghers Are Not A'et Crushed. The revival of the Boer flgting power east of Lord Roberts' advance, although fruitless, Is a symptom that the Boers are not yet crushed, in Gen. Rundle’s attack on the entrenched Boers, seven mile* east of Benckal, May 29, the British did not see a Boer all day, *o completely were they screened. The British Infantry did not get within 1.000 yards of their riflemen. The 182 losses wired by Lord Robert* were suffered by- the Grenadiers and Scots Guards, while advancing over a level from, which the gras* bad been burned. The Britishers In khaki were a consplciouz tar get against the black background. Gen. Rundie withdrew his whole force at sundown to Senekal. having succeeded in drawing the Boers from Lindley al lowing the threatened force to get away safely The Boers sent to th* British for medical help, saying that Commandant de Vtlliers was seriously wounded. Gen. Rundie ’ rent a doctor, with a bottle of champagne ar.d his compliments, as well as a mesrage that he would release all the Beer prist n'rs at Senekal. Burghers Arc Deserting. The Lorenzo Marquez correspondent of the Times, telegraphing June 2. says: "An Austrian who has seen seven m. nths’ active service in the Transvaal declares that a large; propor.ion of the burghers are deserting Lo thrlr homes. The arrangement whereby the British I r.soner# at Pretor a have teen olaced under an armed guard with British of ficers, pending the formal occupation of the town, is ascribed to the good sense and humane disposition of Gen. , Louis Botha, and the Transvaal war secre tary.” In the. advance of the Grenadiers, Col. Lloyd led In the face of a deadly fire. He was hit, but struggled on, only to be disabled by another bullet. Lieuu Mur ray, falling, cried: "Forward, Grena diers!" The blinding smoke of the veldt hampered the operation*. Lieut. Lord Seymour, on going back to direct ihe artillery, was wounded. The order to retire was given and executed under a screen of smoke. The Boer firu was kept np until dusk. COMMANDANT BOTHA CAUGHT. * There AVa* Considerable Fighting Around Joliunneshurg.

Roar of Artillery Heard In Smoke Covered Veldt. London, June 4.—The Dolly Telegraph has the following from Sepekal, dated May 29: “The scene during the battle was won derfully picturesque, rolling billows of smoke, higher than the highest kopje, ob scuring the combatants. The roar of ar tillery and the orack of musketry, under Ihe light of the flames of the burning veldt, combined to produce a picture of appnlllng grandeur, but terrible for those engaged within its field.

Berlin, June 3.—Dr. R Itz, the Transvaal state secretary, says in the Cologne Ga zette that England will require a perma nent garrison of 60,000 soldiers in the Transvaal, ani that "rebellion may be eziected for centuries.” He believes that many Boers will trek to German South Africa. TAKING TO THE MOUNTAINS. That Seem* to Be the Coarse the IloeTS Are Pursnlng. Chicago, June 3.—"1 have no communi cation with the Transvaal, and cannot make a statement as to what the Boers propose to do now. They had planned first, to defepd Pretoria, and then retire to the mountains, or else to give up the capital and take directly to the moun tains. It appears that they are adopting the latter course." Bo declared Montagu White, the Trans vaal’s agent at London, who came to Chi cago to-day in advance of the Boer en voys. Accomplished Ills object. London, June 4.—The Dally Telegraph has tho following from Senekal, dated May 3Q; "Gen. Rundie’* action Monday and yes terday entirely secured the object for which it was undertaken.
