Father McKinnon.

Father McKinnon.
Washington, Oct. 81. - One of the
presidents callers recently was the
Rev. Robert MeKinnon, known as 1.-The
soldier priest the chaplain of the First
California. He had a long interview
with Mr.. Mckinley, to whom he gave
his views of the situation.
Father Mckinnon said of General
Luna, who was killed by Aguinaldo's
orderly while trying to break into the
insurgent leaders quarters: "He was
the most brilliant man in the insurgent
army, and he was murderer. He
murdered his wife and mother-in-law
in Paris and fled to the Philippines.

Father McKinnon, "who is said to have
applied for bride, is horseth ief and
convict and an all-around outcast.
The only really honest man who
aided in the starting of the rebellion
was Palermo, who was then a news
paper editor in Manila. He has re-
pented and is probably back in Manila.
He sent his family there before | left,
and was expected to come himself as
soou as he could get away from the

FIGHTING AT KIMBERLEY.
British Repulse the Beers and Capture
Famous Onicer,

Famous Oficer.
London, Oct 20. - During the mo.
mentary lull in the lighting in Natal
comes news from the western border
which temporarily shifts the scene of
chief interest to the beleagured Brit
ish force at Kimberley. The sharp
struggle there Tuesday appears to
have been the result of a sortie with
the view of breaking the Gordon sur
rounding the place.
The British, apparently 500 strong,
met 200 Beers and, according to official
ana other accounts, routed them after
severe lighting, in which the armored
trains appear to have done valuable
service. The Beers were intrenched
strongly seven miles northward, and
the British brilliantly carried the en-
my position without serious loss. 1t
is said the Beers twice unfairly used a
white flag.

BoER LOSS AT GLENCOE.
British Sources Place 1t at 3.00o-Sews is
SLOW In Coming.

SioN IN tOhthE.
London. Oct 29-The war situation
this morning presents no new features
1t is presumed in Natal that the Beers
are reconstructiug their plans and
that the English are resting, but tele-
grams from Ladysmith still occupy
forty eight hours in transmission to
London, and therefore it is not i'm
possible that something is happening
Aspecial dispatch asserted that Col
den-Powell, the British commander
at Mafeking is aware that Pretoria
has given Gen. Cronje orderes to stay
his hand, as already there is quite
enough to employ the Beers in Natal
According to the latest account Of
the battle of Glencoe, the Boer army
amounted to 1000 men. and at noon
another army, almost as large, under
Commander-General Joubert, advanced
within 5000 yards of Glencoe camp
and then retired The Boer losses
were very heavy, fully 1900.
The Daily Telegram publishes the
following dispatch from Ladysmith,
dated Tuesday; "Gen. Symons ordered
his column to march back to Lady
smith and, under his instructions, him
self and all the wounded were placed
in the hospitals at Dundee. 1t is sup
posed that the Beers, puzzled by the
retirement imagined that trick was
being prepared and therefore remained
at Dundee watching their guns, in
stead of pursuing the British"

Feared British Have Been Defeated.

New York, Oct. 26.-Special cable
grams from London are printed here
declaring that the British war Office 10
deliberately suppressing news of a
crushing British defeat at Glencoe.
These specials also indicate that the
British army is to be withdrawn from
Natal and placed in position nearer
the coast. The dispatches from General
Sir George White to the war office re-
ceived and posted in London are not OF
an assuring character and seem to fore
shadow British reverses The fact that
General Yule has had to abandon both
Dundee and Glencoe in view of the dis
patches printed showing the great
victory over the Beers at Elandslaagte
would also, in view of advices received
last night, prepare the way for the an
nouncement of a British defeat.
