Mrs. Dewey to Have the Home

Washington, Nov. 15. Preliminary steps have been taken, it is said, to trans fer to Mrs. Dewey the title to the Dewey home. 1T47 Rhode Island avenue, which the American people presented to the ad- miral in recognition of his brilliant naval victory at Manila. The matter is in the hands of the District Title company. and the papers, it is understood, have been drawn and await the necessary sigma lures. The conveyance will be through a third party, presumably one of the ad- miral's secretaries. The matter was placed in the hands of the title company some days ago, with a view to such con veyance. and it has been the understand ing that the transfer would be completed upon the return of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. Unless present plans are changed the deeds will be put on record shortly.

Hanna Not Going to Retire.

Cleveland, Nov. 15.-"I am not going to retire from anything" says Senator Hanna, "and as long as my party wants me I shall continue to serve it. I have noticed no calling off of my political friends and hope that the gentlemen who in the past gave me their confidence will continue to think me worthy of it. However. it is not very becoming in me to say that I shall or shall not be chair man of the next national committee. It remains for that committee to decide. 1 have told Colonel Dick to call the com mittee together on either Dec. 14, 15 or Is. prefer Thursday, Dec. IA, and the committee will meet on that day unless the celebration of Washington's death prevents. If the celebration Is held on that day. the committee will meet on Sat urday or Friday, the former being pre- ferred, as 1 do not like Fridays"

Joubert Believed to Be Tired
 of the Siege.
A GREAT MOVEMENT PLANNED
British Preparing For a Vigorous CsmpaiHn-Bomb bardment of Lady smith Continue.-The situation at KimberIey-Arrfva of Transports.

London, Nov. 15.-Very few substan tial facts are contained in yesterdays and this mornings dispatches from South Africa. but the general situation seems to have undergone no change. No news later than Nov. 10 has come from Natal, which looks as though a big move were maturing.
 The only serious danger of General Whites position would arise from a de termined assault pressed home by a dis ciplined body of men trained in the use of the bayonet. General Joubert may be forced to try an attack of this sort be fore he finally recognizes his failure. Ii so, the result Is considered a foregons conclusion, so long as the defenders have adequate stores of ammunition.
 But it is in the last degree unlikely that the enemy will attempt an assault on the fortified camp, and in the absence of 8 struggle at close quarters the lombard. ment Is bound to be intellectual.
 The latest reconnaissance of the armor. ed train from Estcourt established the fact that the enemy at Pieter's station and Colenso have no intention of coming further south. If they do SO General Wolfe Murray Is expected to make il warm for them, pending the arrival of
 
 which look now as if they would amount to 5000 men.
 Three more transports have arrived al the Cape-the Britannic, which has made a rapid passage; the Harlech Castle and the Carisbrook Castle, which has on board some wireless telegraphic appara- tus and operators.
 stin Firing on Lsdysmith.
 rha Tala-xaHh r,t,h1tehaa advices from its special correspondent at Estcourt:
 "None of my messengers sent into La dysmith have returned.
 Doubtless the investment of the town has now become closer, but General White communicates the information that the bombardment does little damage and that there have been but few casual ties. The bsleaguered force has ample provisions, and the intrenched position grows daily stronger. A contrary wind prevents the cannonading from being heard here, but the smoke indicates that firing Is proceeding as usual. There are no Boers nearer Estcourt than Colenso.
 Kimberley has beaten the Mafekins record. At Mafeking one dog was killed by the Boer bombsrdment. At Kimber- ley one cooking pot has been smashed.
 The Free State guns opened fire at a range of S,160 yards, most of their pro jectiles falling short. The Boer shells are said to be of very inferior character. Many fail to burst.
 All is. well in the town. It may bs trusted to hold out for weeks.
 Mafeking has been heard from up te the evening of Oct. 31. After the bon bardment the garrison was in high spirits and able to repel the Boer attacks indeh' nitely.
