CONDITION OF
 AMBASSADOR BAYARD
At Last Accounts He Was semioon- sciOus. With Fair Pulse, but
 Was Very III.

Dedham, Mass, Sept. 6 The condi- ton of Thomas F. Bayard, former am- bassador to England, who is at Karl- stein, the home of his daughter, Mrs. Warren. is critically ill. So prnouneed has been the change in the past two or three days that it was thought the pa- tient would not survive many days.
 Mir Bayard came to Karistein three weeks ago. His health was not good, and during the first two weeks it did not improve. A week ago change came which appeared to he a gradual breaking up of the system, combined with kidney trouble. At first it was not thought likely that his case wouId prove serious, although it was admitted by these in att tendance that the end of great career was not far off
 The extreme heat of the past few days has had a depressing effect upon the pa tient, and on Friday anxiety was keen- ly felt. X consultation of physicians was held. Late on Friday a favorable turn was noted, but yesterday the change was for the worse He was semi. conscious | Sunday, with q fair pulse.

ALLIANCE EFFECTED
 WITH AGUlNALDO
He Is Using Every Effort to Secure Recognition at the Hispano-Ameri-
 can Peace Conference at Paris.

London, Sept. 6.-The Manila corre- spondent of The Times, telegraphing Sunday, says:
 Regular trains will begin to run on Manila-Dagupan railway by tomorrow. General Aguinaldo refused to permit repairs to the line and a reestablishment of train service except upon the signifi- cant condition that no foreign troops were to be conveyed.
 He has effected an important alliance with the Sentiaglesia party in the northern provinces of Pangasinan and zambles. This party commands 5000 armed troops, and had hitherto resisted General Aguinaldo's pretensions to dic- tatorship.
 There are excessive movements among the insurgents everywhere north of Ma nila. Vigan has lately been occupied and campaign has been directed against Bamaran, where the ships are supposed to be concentrated. The in surgents are i'll possession of the whole of Tagus bay except 8 single position.
 This does not support the stories of serious disaffection among the insurgent leaders, although Aguinaldos unpopu- larity is undoubtedly increasing. He is evidently using every effort to secure a recognition at the Hispano American peace conference in Paris of the revolu- tionary government His army doubt less number over S0,000 men, well armed equipped.

Khalifa Narrowly Escaped Capture by Fleeing 10 thc Desert Loss 10 the English Five IIundred-War
 Near all End.

London, Sept 6.-The war correspond- ent of the Daily Telegraph, with the Anglo-Egyptian forces, says:
 ''Khalifa Abdulla has with his harem and Osman Digna, his principal general, managed to escape, but Abdulla's ban. ner and thousands of prisoners are in our hands. It is estimated that 15, GOO of the enemy were slain. Our total casualties were about 50o
 "Besides Colonel Rhodes, another cor respondent was slightly wounded. Mr. Howard, the New York Herald core. spondent, was slain by shell in Omdur- man.
 The war correspondent of the Daily News says; Our victory was not easily or cheaply won The Derylsh loss was enormous. It is estimated that the kill ed of the enemy were not fewer than 5000.
 "Our whole force was engaged in the fighting from 6 30 a. m. until sundown. The Deryishes displayed marvellous brav- cry to the last. Instead of waiting for us in Omdurman, where they could have made resistance that would have cost thousands of lives, they advanced to meet us. The sight was extraordinary.

try, undismayed by the slaughter, called others to follow the cavalry, but our field artillery and Maxims, descending from the hill on which they were posted, came again into action and the conflict entered new phase.
 The attack on our camp had been re- pulsed, and the only question was wneth. CT the defeat of the enemy was complete It was not long before the Dervishes were seen in full flight toward the right, leaving their dead on the field as they fled. Practically the whole army of the khalifa was destroyed Our cas. ualties number 200.
 "Our losses i'll the zeriba, when the en- emy first attacked us, were small, con. sidering the number of the enemy. Our artillery and rife fire were terribly of fectiye The Dervishes fought well, displaying a courage that would have seemed marvellous had we not known their spirit.
 1.-The march to Omdurman after the great fight was completed without incl dent. The sirdar, with his chief of staff, General Rundle, Colonel Wingate and slatin Pasha, rode behind two com. panies of Egyptians and Soudanese, who proudly carried with them tho Khallta $ flag, the black banner which was to lead his troops to victory.
 'sAs we neared the place people living in houses outside tho wall poured out in large numbers to welcome the victors with coarse shouts. Passing through long street, we came to the wall itself, solid looking piece of rough masonary. There had been no need to employ 40- pounders to effect breach. An entry was found near the river and the sirdar rode into Omdurman unmolested.

The Citizens of Titus County Pass Res. olutions Guaranteeing Protection to
 Law Abiding Negroes.

Mount Pleasant, Tex, Sept 6.-The law abiding people of Titus county are thoroughly aroused over the lawlessness existing in the northern portion of the county, whereby inoffensive negroes have been shot and killed from ambush and others have been forced through threats of violence to forsale their homes and leave their crops ungathered.
 This fact was evidenced by the large crowd that responded to the call for mass meeting Sunday afternoon The meeting was called to order by Hon. S. F. Founders, who stated it's object w. J. Johnson was elected chairman and H. ". Cheny secretary.
 A committee appointed by the chair to draft resolutions reported the follow ing, which were unanimously adopted: :: Be it resolved, ]. That we, the law abiding citizens of Titus county, Texas, most solemnly condemn the acts of vio- lence and lawlessness recently committed by unknown parties upon the inoffen- siye colorad people of our county.
 3. Be it resolved, that to all the col ored people of Titus county who are peaceable and lawabiding we tender our protection against all mob violece either against their persons or property.
 3. Resolved, that we most heartily tender to all peace officers of our county our aid and cooperation in the suppress ion of said acts of lawlessness, and i'll arresting the offenders
 We call on all men to join in an effort to suppress said acts of lawlessness and to give their active support in the suppress ion of the same, to the end that the fair name of our county IS law-abiding people may be maintained.

"With desperate gallantry they were repulsed, suffering huge loss. Our Maxim guns, especially, made terrible lanes in their ranks and our artillery dealt havoc in the town, which was full of women. The Dervish army of 60, 900 was utterly broken, but we are fully prepared to fight again if they wish.
 The Standards war correspondent also pays tribute to the magnificent courage of the Dervishes, but says:
 s'Fortunately for us their leaders showed little or no wisdom in choosing battlefield. By not occupying the hill on our left front the enemy missed his opportunity. That would have left the sirdar two alternatives. He might have either accepted the challenge or elected to make wide detour into the desert to reach Omdurman.
 In the former case we would have been compelled to meet the Dervishes in the open. In the last the enemy'a chances of offering prolonged resist ance would have been materially ln- creased. But the bagara have lost none of their former courage and were resol- we'd to attack Us where we stood, trust ing to sheer weight of numbers and hoping to hurl themselves against us with an irresistible impulse.
 Describing the attempt of the baggara horsemen to retrieve the days fortunes by final charge, the correspondent says;
 "Dashing across the level stretch of pebbly soil the knalifa's cavalry rode madly at the steady line of infantry. Our troops awaited the charge without flinching. On came the Dervishes, but again the deadly fire poured into them did it's work. Men and horses fell thick and hardly rider in that desperate charge escaped.

H. II. Hill Prospects Various streams Emptying Into Copper River For
 Two Hundred Miles.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 6.-H. H. Hill, who has arrived here from Cop per river, Alaska, says that when he left Valdez nearly 100 destitute men were being fed from government sup plies Mir Hill prospected tho various streams emptying into Copper river for distance of 200 miles and failed to find any gold whatever.
