American troops at San Fabian was
the most spectacular of its kind since

Daiquiri. The cooperation of the
troops and the navy was complete. The
gunboats maintained a terrific bonn
bardment for an hour, while the troops
rushed waist deep through the surf
under a heavy but badly aimed rifle
fire from the insurgent trenches and
charged right and left, pouring vollcy

Filipinos were captured, mostly non
commissioned officers. Seven insur-

found in a building, which had suf-

THE NEWS is KEPT BACK
fx,Hdon Fears that General Sir Rcdvcrs
Butler Is suppressing the Truth.

Butler is SURPRISING the Truth.
A London special dated November
10, 4:30 n. m, says that the scent and
conflicting Jews from the seat of war,
and the fact that General White has
not yet said a word about the alleged
lighting around L~adysmith, are again
producing a feeling of gloom. 1t may
be that General. Butler has thought
best to keep IL to himself. Indeed,
this is the version that is beginning to
be believed, as it is held to be impossi-
BILE that the news of heavy fighting
brought in by Kaftirs in such circum-
stantial detail a be wholly ground
less. IL this be SO, it is ominous, for
there could be no grounds for conceal
ing favorable news.
1t cannot be long, however, before u
change occurs. General Buffers forces
will Don arrive at Durham, and will
probably begin the advance to the re
lief of Ladysmith about next Tuesday.

A London special of November 10th

1t Is added that 600 of the British

PAPER FAMINE THREATENED
Mills enable to work Full Time On
Account OF scarcity of water.

W. '"'''' W "o''Fs
The paper problem is getting TO be n
very serious one, and the trouble Is be-
coming acute. In n recent issue the
New York Commercial, speaking Of the
subject said:
Never have paper manufacturers
been so short Of water as now, and II
is currently reported that unless rains
come soon in the eastern part of the
country there will he n famine In pa
per of all descriptions. Jobbcrs are
beginning to feel the effect OF the
prospective famine, and are trying to
prevent their customers from putting
In further orders. SO serious has the
matter become that all prices ON paper
arc withdrawn and bills are stamped
that all prices are subject TO change
without notice.
The worst situation Is In New Eng
land, where the mills have so little
water that they are closed down part
of the time, and unless rain falls soon
they will have to close entirely. Holy
okc is especially afflicted. The Con-
necticut river hasn't been so low in
years, and rain comes on in iitful show
ers, which amount to nothing. The
same general statement applies To the
entire Connecticut Valley. None of
the mills on the river, of which there
arc Il large number. have water enough
to keep them running full time.
Maine has not felt the drought so Sc
vcrcly, but the water is low in all man
ufacturing ccnters, and unless copious
rains soon fall some mills will make
but very little paper this winter.
New York state manufacturers have
been more favored than most of the
others, and Il larger proportion of the
mills are enabled To run full time.
They are far behind in their orders,
however, and the situation promises no
immediate improvement.
In the west. especially Wisconsin,
water is low and the output OF the
mills is seriously curtailed, and the
prospect appears discouraging. Some
manufacturers say that they will b,
compelled to stop work entirely IL they
do not have rain.
The shortage in paper could not have
come ut II more i%nopportune time. Tn,
demand for news was never 80 large n
now, and is steadily increasing, it ha
been n great news year. and the dailie
have been turning out larger edition
than ever before, and there seems I,
be no prospect of a diminution in de
mand. For book purposes there is u,
equally strong demand, occasioncd b,
the increased output of books. Price
on both book and newspaper ar,
10 to 20 per cent higher than the,
were three months ago, and quota
tions are not guaranteed for the day
they arc given out.
The prospect of n famine becomes
the more serious when it Is known tina
jobbers were never 20 busy az they AZ,
now. They are away behind in thciI
deliveries, and more than one larg,
jobber will not go neal his Office. 9th
ers will not answer the telephone fol
