London, Nov. pa dispatch from
Orange River. dated Monday, Nov. o.
and describing the battle of Enslin,
says:
THE Beers successfully retreated.
The Lancers attempted to intercept
and reached them, but severe fire,
opened from a kopje, forced the Lam
GERS to retreat. General Cronje was
with the Beers. Among the Boer pris-
oners are Alderman Joppe and Com
mandant Ressik. who led the Boer
forces. Many of the Beers voluntarily
surrendered.
The Beers were shelled during the
final retreat and must have lost heavily
and they succeeded in getting away
to the northward with their six guns.
The British were badly in need of more
cavalry.
The bulk of the fighting was on
Free State territory, and the engage
ment was admirably planned Thirty
Boer wounded are under treatment
here. AT the close of the action Lord
Methuen complimeuted the naval bril-
gade upon their splendid behavior and
expressed his regrets at their losses.

Most of the session was devoted to hear

a rising salutation. He made brief ad-

column made detour and bivouacked
for the night at SwinkS Pan, three
miles from the Boer position At dawn
the advance began, the guards forming
the reserve. The column debouched on
the plain eastward of the Boer kopjes.
The Boer guns opened fire. The bat
teries of the British artillery posted
on each side sslelled the Beers, prac-
tice being good on both sides. The
Beers stuck tenaciously to their posi-
tions, firing stesdily and accurately.
The duel, which constantly became hot
ter, lasted three hours. The Boer shells
wounded several men of the naval bril-
gade.
Finding it impossible to displace the
Beers by artillery, General Metheun
resolved upon an infantry attack. A

auense, with Lieutenant Colonel Webb
Hayes and three companies of the
Thirty-first infantry on board, has ar
rived here. She narrowly escaped dis
aster. The officers and soldiers were
for twelve days bailing with buckets.
The steamer was unseaworrhy, under
manned and short of provisions. Her
engines broke down, and she rolled
three days in a typhoon.
When the Manauense anchored in
Manila bay this morning, thirty three
days from San Francisco, there were
several feet of water in her hold. and
400 grimy, greasy, hungry, exhausted
soldiers and sailors had been passing
buckets of water since Nov. II, night
and day. First Assistant Engineer
Dunieavy was under arrest and. ac-
cording to Colonel Webb Hayes official
report, the chief engineer would have

been under arrest also If there had been
anyone to replace him.
The colonel's report also declares that
the captain of the vessel told him that
the only thing which brought them
through was the fact that the men
were greenhorns and failed to realize
their danger, while experienced seamen
would have deserted the ship ard taken
to the boats IN midocean.
Senator Perkins An Owner.
The Manauense is a chartered ship
flying the British flag. She belongs to
a firm of which Senator Perkins of San
Francisco is alleged to be junior
member
The officers say the firm bought her
for SIS. 900, and they claim efforts to sell
to the government for $150,o00 were
made. She started from San Francisco
accompanied by the transport Pekln,
which carried the remainder of the reg
iInent, and encountered heavy seas 10
Honolulu without accident After
starting it developed that she was ur-
der-manned, and soldiers had to be de-
tailed to act as firemen. coal passers
and walters, and to do other work.
Before reaching Honolulu the crew
concluded the ship was not safe, and
the majority agreed to desert. Though
they were closely watched. many of the
crew succeeded in getting away, and
the ManauenSe left Honolulu with less
than half her crew.
The captain of the transport, on NoT.
II, told Colonel Hayes that the vessel
had sprung a leak, and an investigation
resulted in finding several feet of water
in her hold. The steam pumps were
tried, but failed to work, and there
were no hand pumps on board.
Bucket Brigade Formed.
However. forty-six buckets were
found, others were smproViSed and the
soldiers net employed in working the
ship were organized into five shifts and
stripped and forming zines, they began
bailing, the officers working with the
men. passing the buckets, which We're
sent up to the deck by a windlass. The
longest time n shift could stand was
two hours and often the period was not
longer than half an hour
The bailing continued until the ship
anchored here The same day the leak
was discovered the machinery collapsed
and the electric lighting plant and dis
tilling. evaporating and refrigerating
plants failed to work There were no
lamps, and the few candles found were
exhausted after few days.
During the last week of the passage
the Nanauense was in utter darkness
at night. She had been rolling in
heavy seas all the way. but Nov % she
encountered a typhoon and pitched and
tossed alarmiDgly.
The Pekin became separated from the
Manauense in the storm. The water
rose rapidly and the baiifng force was
doubled But the buckets were grad
ually smashed. the barrels and boxes
were substituted for them, the men
working in darkness, planks and pieces
of iron shafting being violently wash
ed among them. Tie fireInen could only

Silver the Big Issue.
Senator Teller returned TO Morrison

Thanksgiving dinner with his mother.
Before leaving he said, in answer to a
question as 10 whether anti-imperialiSm
will overshadow silver:

background. The imperialism matter
is likely to be easily settled within the
next six months"
He implied that the country had al
ready been expanded and that the anti
expansion cry would be about a dead
issue by next June.
Ex-senator Dubois of Idaho said he
had no doubt the silver vote drawn
from the Republican party would be

owing to the frank pro-gold stand

Roberts VIII Take His Seat In Con-
gress Next Monday.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 2s.-The
principal development of the day in the
Roberts case has been the apparent
! collapse of the effort to prevent the
congressman from being sworn in on
Monday II now appears probable that
there viii be no serious effort to pre-
vent the oath being administered. Sew
eral leading Republicans are known to
be opposed 10 this course. The position
taken by Senator Rawlins promises to
divert considerable attention from the
house to the senate.
The Washington papers continue to
make the case prominent in their news
columns, at least one of them being
narrowly and vindictively hostile to the
congressman. But his chances of be-
ing seated are undoubtedly excellent,
notwithstanding all the clamor.

GILMORE'S RELEASE.
It Is Complicated by Capture of the
Urdaneta-

Washington, Sept. 25.-The gunDoat
Urdaneta, which was captured with her
crew at Orani, about twenty-five miles
from Manila on the bay of Manila, is a
little craft of only forty tons disp!ace-
ment, not much larger than a small
tug. She was captured by the navy
early in the war and has been on police
duty in the bay for months past. The
records of the navy department show
that she was one of the boats Of which
the Oregon is the parent ship. That is.
she was supposed to draw all her sup
plies from the battleship, to be manned
by the Oregon's crew and to act under
the instructions of the Oregons COM
mander.
Naturally the department is vexed
that the difficulties of the negotiations
looking to the release of Lieutenant
Gilmore of the Yorktown and his men
should be added to by this last mis-
fortune.
Still there is no disposition unneces-
sarily to curb the junior officers of the
navy, who are rendering such gallant
service in the Philippines.
