a greater peril than the onslaught from
the front. bur it was luckily deferred I'M
Ill the first attack had been repulsed,
and the force of the Matabeles weakened
there. But for the open nature of the
ground toward Buluwayo the encircling
tactics of the enemy would certainly
have succeeded against the small force
opposed to them. AS it was it was posi-
bic to perceive their movements and
move accordingly and the open ground
gave free play for the Maxim which was
employed also in that direction with
deadly effect The loss sustained by
the whites were: II. c. Whitehouse, c.
Gordon and B. Persons, killed and
wounded, the exact number not being
stated The rapid fire gun is thought
to have saved the day for the whites be-
yond question. The loss they sustained
in view of the force of the attacking
party and the fact that they were
outhanked, are considered small and
the whites are considered lucky to have
come off so well They retired upon
the conclusion of the fight, but they

Although the attacking party came

did not drive the Matabeles, but simply

who were beleaguring Buluwayo were
engaged in yesterdays fight 1t is not
clear that the sortie has been effectual in

outcome most feared.

NOTABLE CEREMONY ON A FRIDAY
Newly Elected Archbishop of Eng

New York Dec. 2o.-The venerable Doctor
Temple the newly elected archbishop of Cam
terbury and primate of all England, has

case of war. She can not refuse 1t while
right and honor are on her side. Nor
would Spain be alone Grave interna-
tional complications would ensue.
Senior CASTELAR, pointed out that he con-
sidered international wars at the present
day a disgrace to modern civilization.
Such a war, he thought, would be more
illogical for the United States than for
any other nation. He regarded the
United States as a model for all other
nations in avoiding wars and seeking the
settlement of international disputes by
arbitration.
Admiral Beranger, the minister of ma
rine, in response to a request of a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, consent
ed to express his views on the existing re-
lations between Spain and the United
States.
II consider q rupture between Spain
and the United States improbable" said
the admiral, "but with a view of averting
any chance of conflict, the Spanish mon
of-War in Cuban waters have received
strict instructions to avoid any friction
with the United States. Nevertheless, in
order to be prepared for amy emergency,
have ordered the vessels building abroad
and at home to be completed rapidly for
service. The marine infantry will be
strongly organized and all the seamen in
the maritime districts will be enrolled
Should a war unfortunately arise, the
mercantile marine would fit out numerous
privateers, manned by picked crews, which
would be capable of inficting great dam
age upon American shipping on the nigh
seas and on unfortified American sea-
ports.'
Admiral Beranger expressed his belief
that the Spanish navy, in the daring of
crews and the strength of the Spanish,
was a match for the Americans. He eX-
pressed the hope, however, that Spain
would only require her navy to defend ner
colonial possession from insurgent Grim
mails without any international conflict.
According to interviews published in
the Madrid newspapers. Senior Canovas is
reported as saying that everything IS
ready to apply reform in the Spanish West
Indies, but that all depend upon the course
of the campaign in Cuba. The reforms, he
says, will be applied first to Porto Rico,
but nothing has been decided upon the
subject pending the receipt of further dis
patches from Captain General Weyler.

Spain will not provoke a conflict with The
