i Gen. Butter's reply to the application
! of Col Schiel, the German officer
captured at Elargi aagte, for a
^parole, in accordance with the
alleged promise of Gen White
Gen. Buller says : "The Transvaal
declared war and invaded British
territory before a British force could
be put in the field They, therefore,
obtained an immense military ad?
vantage at the- outset They no
doubt took into consideration the
fact that the small British force
opposed to them would have few
f men to spare to guard prisoners, who
might, therefore, be subjected to
close restraint On the arrival of
the British force I will do my best to
remedy any inconvenience 99
An official dispatch from Pretoria,
dated Friday. Nov. 10, confirms the
statements to the effect that the
Boer big guns had little effect at
Mafeking
Reports from Cape Colony indicate
that the Boer sympathizers are
greatly suprised at the inability of
Geu. Jonbert to capture Ladysmith
It is announced that British trans?
ports arriving at Cape Town today
add, roughly, 4,600 men to the
British force in South Africa, making
a total of about 27,000 men of Gen

Friday, Nov. 17.- The official Vofk
etem reports that the Great Bridge,
over the Tngela river, near Colenso,
was completely destroyed Wednes
day, Nov 15
The Boers are looking forward
with great interest to the impending
encounter, between Colenso and Est
court, with the advancing British
About 600 /burghers, with cannon,
are guarding the Heipmakaar Pass,
18 miles from Dundee, to baffle any

RELIEF OF KIMBERLEY CEN?
TRES ATTENTION.
London, Nov 20. 5 a. m-This
morning's news gives iittle that alters
the complexion of tbe simarloo. Since
the fight of Nov. 9 matters, so far as
"known. have been fairly quiet at Lady?
smith. It ts oot uolikely that tbe
Boers, badly informed as to the nature
and extent of the British preparations
to advaooe to the relief of the town,
may be hesitating regarding the next
move The situation in Natal is very
complicated, more especially if the
reports be trae that the great Tugela
bridge bas been destroyed.
The success of the next move on
either side will depend more on strat?
egy than on superior nnmbers. The
Boers have three Hoes of aotion opeo.
They can hold tbe railway with tbe
force they have at Eonersdalef falling
slowly back before the British advance
and threatening it from Weeoen, or, io
the second place, they can advance
from Weeoen and try to carry Estcourt,
or, io the third place, they cao advance
doe south from Weeoen to Weston, cut
the railway and blow up the bridge
over Mooi river
If it is true that there are 10.000
Boers under Gen. Joubert aod Gen
Botha, marching south to meet the
British relief force, heavy fighting is in
store.
Nothing 18 known with certainty
regarding the progress of tbe relief
column from Durban, and the imme?
diate centres io the relief of Kimber?
ley. Geo. Methuen has a splendid
knowledge of tbe country over wbicb
be will operate, and is laying his plans
with the utmost care. Au indefati?
gable worker, be is busy night and day
catting down the baggage to a minimum

ensuring that the officers shall be
indistinguishable from the men ro thc

accompany the coiamo, and Major
Rhodes is confident that, he will see bis

believed chere wiii be no difficulty in
doing. Thc advance will be made by
forced marches, the column reaching

BOERS RECEIVING
REINFORCEMENTS.
Fresh Men and Quantities of
Supplies Moving South.
London, Nov 21, 5 a. no.-The
reports of heavy fighting at Ladysmith
?ase Wednesday have not been confirm?
ed. Oo fbe contrary the most reliable
advices from Estcourt indicate that
there ^vas notbiog more than a desul?
tory cannonade. Probably the rumor
"of a serious engagement grer? out of
the fact that the Boers threw a few
harmless shelis late Tuesday night,
! Ieadi:?!? to the supposition that an
I attaoo was imminent Nothing, bow
j ever, happened Wednesday
Beyond the fact that the Boers are
daily receiving fresh reinforcements
and supplies, there is practically noth?
ing new from the front.
The Boer invasion of Cape Colony
oontioues steadily and rapidly. There
are 1,300 Boers at Colesburg and news
bas reached East London that Lady
Gray, near Ailwai North, has been
deserted by tbe British and is now in
tbe haods of the enemy.
A Pretoria dispatoh announces the
arrivai there, amoog the British pris
ooers of Maj. Haldane. Lieut. Brochie
and Lieut. Haliwey. It also declares
thai; the British Sunday made two
unsuccessful attempts to oust the Rus
tenburg command from a position near
Mafeking, and that severe fighting took
place.
From Delagoa bay comes the reports
of the arrival of more German officers
and artillerymen who have volunteered
to nerve with the Transvaal foroes.
The war office semi-officially asserts
that al! news received from Africa has
beeo published with the exception of
demands for the renewal of stores, war
material and the like There is an
unconfirmed rumor that more troops
have been ordered from Iodia to the
Cape
Geo Buller has wired the command?
ing officer at Queenstown announcing
the dispatch of Gen. Gataore, with the
Firet battalion of the Seventh brigade,
to East London This was the place
from which it was originally intended
that Gen. Gatacre's column should
start Thus it is possible that Geo.
Butler's first plans have suffered less*
modification than some have supposed.
BOERS ABOUT ESTCOURT.
Estcourt, Natal., Nov. 20, 4.45 p.
m.-Major Bsthuoe's patrols have
located tbe enemy on the northwest,
about 10 miles off. The Boers would
not be drawn.
Fighting is reported at the Mooi
river.
The Boers are doing more looting
than fighting, and ali their parties
south of Ladysmith are foraging on the
farms |
Advioes from Ladysmith tell of bril- j
liant British victories, with compara?
tively slight loss oo our 6?de and heavy
slaughter of the enemy.
Ladysmith is full of wounded and ?
captured Boers, lt is reported that. ?D
the fighting of Nov. 9 the enemy lest
300 killed and 50? captured.
The Boers are trying hard to icflu- ]
ence and conciliate the Natal Kaffirs. -
I REPORTS LACKING FOUNDA?
TION.
London, Nov. 20.-A special dis
patpa from Estcourt dated Nov. 20,
says a report has reached there of a
battle at Lad) smith Vv edoesday, Nov. j
15, leting fro-m daybreak until 2 in
the afternoon. Macy Boers are said to
have been killed and many are reported
to have been taken prisoners. Tbe
British losses are reported to be much
less.
Another battle is said to have occur
red Thursday. Ic is described as the
heaviest yet fought. The Boer dead,
it is added, number hundreds, while
ihe British losses were comparatively
small
ALL WELL AT LADYSMITH
THURSDAY.
Ladysmith. Nov. 16, Thursday, by
runner to Estcourt.-Ali is well here,
with nothing important to report. We
are amply supplied with ammunition
and cooSdeot of our ability to hold out.
Information from outside is very^ fcarce,
but it is believed here chat the Boers
now investing the town are only a
email force. The heavy weather con?
tinues, and the rain is hampering tbe
Boer operations severely.
JOUBERT MOVES TO THE
SOUTH
London, Nov 21.-The Standard
publishes the following from Lady
smith dated Nov 19 : "The arrival
of the relief column at Encourt bas
completely modified the plans of the
enemy, and Gen. Joubert bas moved
to the south in an effort to prevent the
jonction of the two British forces."

Manila, Nov 19. i a m.-The
following dispatches have been re
ceived here from correspondents of
the Associated Press accompanying
the American advance northward :
I Gerona, Nov 18.-Gen. MacAr
j thur entered Gerona, as already
cabled, this afternoon The insur
! gents had fled last Monday, after
j burning depot. Nothing else was
! destroyed by them. Gerona is the
first town along the Manila-Dagupan
railway line where the natives did
not run at the approach of the
'Americans. The Padres offered
quarters io the church and convent.
The town has one good house.
Gerona is the seat of heavy British
sugar interests.
The trip here was a bard one and
occupied six hoars in covering &even
miies and a half, most of the time
being 6pent in fording a quarter of a
mile flood running out of the Rio
Tarlac. We have no wagons and
pack mniee, and native bearers carry
all our supplies.
The natives here say that Bayom
boDg was occupied Sunday by mount?
ed troops, probably Gen Young's
brigade of Gen Lawton's division
The people here are of a better class
than we have uoually found, and I hey
welcomed the Americans as they
evidently realize that their agricul?
tural interest will revive
Gen MacArthur &aid this evening:
"We seem to be enteriug a different
political atmosphere The people
here seem to be less attached to
Aguinaldo's cause than those iu
maoy towns we have entered OD the
railroad line."
The command will move northward
at daybreak tomorrow, toward Ba
yombong. Gerona will be garrisoned
with two companies of the Thirty
sixth.
Immediately on entering Gerona,
Shavens' scouts moved up the track
toward Panique. On the way they
encountered and entrenched parly cf
insurgents, whom they drove back,
theo entering the town and capturing
four locomotives and thirteen cars,
as already cabled They learned
that 500 insurgents had lelt the town
in the course of the afternooon.
Panique, Nov. 18 -Gen. Mac
Arthur's troops arrived from Gerona
io the course of a morning. The
railroad beyond this point has not
beeo destroyed The captured rail?
way stock is-toeing repaired to han
die supplies. The expedition will
go north toward Bayombong, proba j
bly today. The signal corps is con
structing lines with great rapidity. |
A native courier from Bayombong j
reports that the-American troops left ?
the town soon after they entered, j
and that many Datives remain, I
although no insurgents
Gen MacArthur discovered here !
Maj. Joneson, formerly chief surgeon
on the staff of the Filipino command j
1er, Gen. Mascardo. He resides at j
Bacolor, and is about to return there |
to resume his practice Maj. Jone
son says that ail respectable Filipinos
are disgusted with the behavior of
the insurgents and are very glad that
the Americans have the upper hand.
A continuous procession of refu
gees is entering Panique lrom the
north, indicating the proximity of
other American troops, probably off
the railroad line These refugees
say that the insurgents have not
knswn which way to turn, with the
Americans occupying so many places
in the north
Panique is a rich sugar town
Some of the wealthy ChiDese and the
poorer natives fled at the first ap?
proach of our troops, but they are
DOW confidently returning The raiu
bas ceased, the weather is fine and
the country is drying rapidly.

Nothing could more clearly show

Secretary Gage and the Wall stree

of this administration by the mouej
kings, than the manner in whirl
Secretary Gage went to the rescue
of the Wall street crowd, by pur?
chasing $25,000,000 worth of gov?
ernment bonds Not two hours be
fore the order was officially issued tc
buy those bonds, Secretary Gage
assured newspaper men that no bende
would be bought. Later he received
his orders from Wall street, and
promptly obeyed by ordering a
purchase of bonds When the Wall
street gang squeezes the public, the
government never goes to the relief
of the public, but let the screws be
turned a few times on the big specu?
lators, and the treasury dumps a big
wad of public money into Wall
street to ease the pinch, and the
gullible public is expected to accept
the statement that it is a patriotic
act, done to prevent a financial panic,
when it is well known that it is
really done to prevent loss on the
part of the big speculators, who do
not hesitate to make situations threat?
ening a money panic whenever they
think it profitable to do so. because
of their knowledge that the United
States treasury is behind them
There will come a time-it will have
to come-when Wall street sp?cul?t
ors wiil not dictate the actions of the
United States treasury, but it will
not come until there is an adminis?
tration in power which does not owe
its election to money put up by the
great speculates ot the country.

Manila Nov 20 -Gen. Wheeler
i has decided not to return for congress.
Ile is writing a letter to President
McKinley, with a request that it bo
forwarded to the house of represent?
atives In the course of an interview
with a correspondent of the Associat?
ed Frees, he said :
"Congress, if it occupies the first
day of session in passing a resolution
declaring in unmistakable terms that
the 80verignty of the United States
is to be maintained in the Philippines,
thus dispelling Aguinaldo's delusion
that the anti imperialists can assist
bim, wili be performing a sacred duiy
Such a resolution would save the
lives of many American soldiers and
thousands of deluded Filipinos, would
avert famine, suffering and desola?
tion from these islands and would
render unnecessary the expenditure
of hundreds cf millions of dollars.".
The people of Cotta Bato, on the
southwestern coast of the island of
Mindanao desire the establishment of
American government there and have
addressed a petition to Gen Otis
asking him to send troops.
In relating how they had appealed
to the Dato to protect them against
the attempts of Aguinaldo's officials
to collect excessive taxes, they say in
the petition that the Dato, "having
compassion for our suffering and iu
the interest of peace' publicly be?
headed half a dozen of these officials.

The Bubonic Plague
at New York's Gate.
THE CAPTAIN AND COOK
OP A SHIP ILL
New York, Nor. 19.-The steamer
J. W Taylor, which arrived yesterday
from Santos. Brazil, with the captaio
and ecok iii wirb ^a^pected bubonic
plague, has been disinfected a2 far ai
rossibie without discharging cargo.
The cabin?, forecastles, decks and
cogineers' department have teen
cleansed and thoroughly disinfected.
The crew have been bathed and thei*
clothes and effects have been subjected
to steam The patients are at Swio
burna island, and there is no change in
their condition. Deputy Healrh Officer
Sanborn says the crew will be kept on
board the steamer until tomorrow,
when ,tbe ageots will supply a new
crew. The crew wiil be removed to
Hoffman island and detained for observ?
ation for tee- days There has been
no further development amoDg them.
After tbe removal cf the crew the
cargo, oeffee in sacks, will be discharg?
ed into lighters. The sacks will be
emptied into other receptacles and then
subjected to steam disinfection on
board of the James W. Wadsworth.
After the discharge of cargo the holds
of the steamer wiil be disinfected. Dr.
Fitzpatrick, the bacteriological expert
of the quarantine, is makiog cultures
of matter takeo from the patients.
The results of bis examinations will
determine the question ot the discharge
of the cargo.
Dr. Herman M Biggs, bacteriologist
of the beaith department, gave out the
following 6tatemeot today regarding
Dr. Parks' examination of the sapoos
ed bubonic plague patients :
"The bacteriological exsminations
thus far made by Dr. Park show
apparently that the contents of the
broken down bobos do ott cootaio aoy
living germs. It is possible, however,
that some may develop io the cultures.
Microscopical examination of tbe pus
are also rather negative. These nega?
tive results are such as might be ex?
pected in the plague at (he stage of the
disease presented in these men and
would be very unusual in other condi?
tions They therefore afford some con?
firmatory evidence as to tbe existence
of the plague." t "
Dr. Biggs said he bad little doubt
that the two patients supposed to ?ave
the disease are now almost well. The
bacteriological examioatioos will be
continued so loog as the patients af
thc infected ship present the opportu?
nity. This is the first time the physi?
cians o? this etty have had an oppor
oity to study the djsesse directly. Up
to this time they have depended upon
foreign medical reports, which are Dot
always authentic.
Health Commissioner Cosby said that
he had no doubt the ship could be
thoroughly cisiofected But eveo so,
it would cot be permuted to oome to
the city
Io forbidding the docking of the &bip?
or her approach to aoy wharf, the au?
thorities have beeo actuated by the fear
that the rats which iofest the ves?
sel wiil get ashore and carry the germs*
if the disease droves to be the bubomio
plague, with them Fxperience with
the bubomio plague in foreign countries
show that the rat is a potent factor io
the the spread of the disease, it beiog
affected by the bubonic beciilus in a
similar manner to man. In Nothnagle's
laboratory in Vienna several years ago
one of the assistaots developed the
plague from contamination with a rat
into which be had inoculated the dis?
ease
The health authorities have net yet
decided upon tbe mode of disinfection
that shall be employed to rid the vessel
of the vermin, but the disinfection,
whatever form it may assume, will be
of the most through character. *
