CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The Democratic
national executive committee, with
National Chairman J. X. Jones in the
chair, spent most of the day in a room
in the Sherman House DISCUSSING, mat
ters pertaining to organization, ways
and means and the administrative af-
fairs of the organization. Nothing was
said about a meeting of the national
committee, but it is the opinion of
most of the executive committeemen
that the full committee will be called
to meet in Washington Feb. 22 and
that the national Democratic conven-
tion will be held the latter part of May.

REPORT UNCONFlRMED.
Story of Heavy Fighting at Iadysmith
DiGCreIiteN.

Dixcrehited.
LONDON. Nov. 2l.-The reports Of
heavy fighting at Ladysmith last
Wednesday have not been confirmed.
On the contrary the most reliable ad-
vices from Estcourt indicate that there
was nothing more than u desultory
cannonade. Beyond the fact that the
Beers are daily receiving fresh rein
forcements and supplies there is practi-
cally nothing new from the front.
The Boer invasion of Cape Colony
continues steadily and rapidly. There
are 5000 Beers at Colesburg and news
has reached East London that Lady
grey, near Aliwalnortll. has been de-
serted by the British and is now in the
hands of the enemy.
A Pretoria dispatch announces the
arrival there among British prisoners
of Major Haldane, Lieutenant Brouchie
and Lieutenant Hallowell. 1t also de-
clares that the British on Monday
Made Two Unsuccessful Attempts
to oust the Rustenburg commando from
position near Mafeking and that
severe fighting took place,
From Delagoa Bay comes reports of
the arrival of more German officers and
artillerymen who have volunteered to
serve with the Transvaal forces.
The war Office semi-officially reports
that all news from the seat of war from
whatever source is treated alike. 1t is
reported that additional forces have
been ordered from India to the Cape.
The plan of operation on both sides is
slowly unfolding itself. General Jou-
bert is slowly moving south to prevent,
if possible, the junction of the British
relief column and the force at Lady
smith, while on the other frontier the
Beers are believed to be concentrating
rat Bunk kespoal ito o oppose tl,s eaKsrcs
of General Butler. It is known that
5000 Beers are massed at Donkerpoort.

MANILA. Nov. 22.-General MacAr-
thurs reconnaissance entered Dagupan
during the afternoon. The Americans
found that no insurgents had been
there for four days. The Thirty third
infantry was probably in Dagupan sew
eral days previous. No insurgents
have been seen anywhere near the rail;
way and it is believed that the only
armed force of any size is in the noun
tains OF Zambesine to the west, al
though there are rumors Of insurgents
seen at San Miguel de Camingu, west
of Panique, and at Managatrom, west
of Bayombong. The Twelfth infantry,
battalion Of the Seventeenth infantry
and two troops Of cavalry are with
General Macarthur below Dagupan.
General Wheeler has decided not to re-
turn for congress. He is writing a
Letter to President Mckinley
with u requ st that it be forwarded to-
the house Of representatives. In the
course of an interview with a corre-
spondent of the Associated Press lie
said:
Congress, if it occupies the first day
of the session in passing a resolution
declaring III unmistakable terms that
the sovereignty of the United Statesis II
to be maintained in the Philippines,
thus dispelling Aguinaldo's delusioii
that the 'anti-imperialists' can protect
him, will be performing sacred duty.
Such resolution would save the lives
of American soldiers, thousands of Fill.

avoid the expenditure Of millions "
