The British About to Re- cover Lost Ground.
RELIEF FOR LADYSMITH
Further Advantages Gained By Gen. eral Methuen-The Boers Reported to Be Flying Before General Hid yard-Another Report That They Are Gathering Together for a Combined Attack.

London, Nov. D. Apparently Gen eral Clery's advance to the relief of Ledysmith has really commenced. So far as ascertainable General Hildyard' s force, which is already at Frere, must number 10000 men and should be able to reoccupy Colenso. where it may have to await endorsements of artillery and cavalry before joining hands with General White.
 General Barton now occupies Est court, and Mooi River will be occupied by endorsements from Pietermaritz- burg. The whole situation has been distinctly cleared since the arrival of General Butler in Natal though doubt less the British will have difficulties to overcome.

 "Hilyard, from Estcourt, made sue cessful attack November 23 with three battalions, one field battery, a naval gun and 700 mounted troops, on the enemy occupying Beacon hill, which dominates William Grange, and had in terrupted his communication.

BRINGING THE DEAD HOME
Remains of the Maine Victims to
 Come on the Texas.

Washington, Nov. Arrangements have been perfected by the navy de- partment for bringing home the re- mains of the 166 sailors of the Maine, Havana, with a view to their reinter ment in Arlington cemetery will full military honors. Instructions will be sent to the commandant of the Ha vana naval station to exhume the bodies and seal them in zinc collins for tra 1sporta tipr. to the United States on a vessel of the United States navy. The battleship Texas, which is prac- tically a sister ship of the ill-fated Maine, will probably be assigned to this sad duty. Captain Sigsbee, who commanded the Maine at the time of her destruction, is now in command of the Texas, but he will be detached from that duty in few weeks in order to comply with orders assigning him to the charge of the naval bureau of intelligence. His successor in com mand of the Texas has not yet been announced.
 In order to comply with quarantine regulations the transfer of the heroic dead will have to be made between De- cember and February. The navy de- partment has had this step under con- sideration for some time and is acting under authority of an act of congress approved March, 1898, appropriating s1O, ,OOO for bringing home these re- reasons, it has been found advisable to bring the bodies home in order to avoid the possibility of litigation in voIving the title to the plot of ground in the cemetery where these men are buried.
 It has been found, among other things, that another grave already oc- cupied the center of the plot of ground, and that a clear title could not there fore be secured, as the consent of the owner of the other grave could not be obtained. Under the law unless the ground was purchased within five years the cemetery authorities had the right to remove the bodies, and while there was no fear of this while the United States remained in control of Cuba, the tenure was regarded as insecure. The only objection to disin ! torment was the fear that in some in stances identification of the 165 collins would be incomplete. but this is thought to be offset by the advantage of collecting all the graves at Airing appearance perhaps by national mon ument.

WANTS EIGHTEEN SHIPS.
Programme of Naval Construction Out
 lined by Secretary Long.

Washington, Nov. D. Secretary Long will recommend to congress a programme for new naval construc- tion to be provided for in the next naval appropriation bill that will be in accordance with the policy that has been pursued for the past three years He Will ask for three armored cruisers of about 13,OOO tons displacement; three protected cruisers of about 5000 tons' and dozen gunboats of 900 tons, making eighteen ships in all.
 The armored cruisers will be enlarged Brooklyns, improved in many details. and they will be the biggest ships in the United States navy In the opin- ion of experts they will be equal to the battleships of several naval powers in strength and will have great speed. The protected cruisers will be of the Olympia type, fleet. powerful seaboats. with numerous batteries of guns of medium caliber and rapid firers, rely ing for protection against gun fire en- tirely upon a curved protective deck and coal bunkers.
 The gunboats will be about the size of the little Marietta, and from their light draft will be of great ser vice in the shallow waters of the gulf ports and in the Chinese rivers, as we'll as in the new insular possessions of the United States for police duty in times of peace. The programme is made up without reference to what has already been authorized in the way of new ships; in other words, the ships will be additional to those authorized

"OF COURSE WE WON 7"
Senator Deboe Declares Republicans
 Won in Kentucky.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Senator De- boe of Kentucky had an important conference with President Mckinley this morning regarding the situation in Kentucky. The interview was of a ma ture which Senator Deboe did not care to divulge. He admitted that he had come on to Washington purposely to see the president. To a reporter Sen ator Deboe said:
 "Of course we won in the Kentucky election and we do not propose being defrauded of our rights. We intend to protect them at any cost. Taylor and the entire state ticket were elected. Nine-tenths of the people are with us. So are the newspaprs, irrspective of party. Taylor will b inaugurated gov ernor, despite the assertions of Urey Woodson and others. I see that MT. Woodson, who is the democratic na- tional committeeman, says that Goe- rect. Goebel is a desperate man, but I cannot believe that he will attempt to carry this contest to the legislature. If he does, however, it will not profit him, as the legislature will be anti Goebel and nti-Blackburn."
 The assertion of Senator Deboe that the legislature will be anti-Blackburn will be of interest here. It has all along been supposed that Senator Blackburn would come back to the senate, despite the defeat of GoebeI According to Senator Deboe, the leg islature will be controlled by anti Goebel democrats and republicans.
