break the Highlanders arrived within 200
yards Of the Boer intrenchments at the
foot of the hill. Unsuspecting that the

were still marching quarter column, in
close order, when they met terrible
fire from the TANKS and were forced to
retire with heavy loss.
The troops reformed under the shelter

FIGHTING WITH BOERS.
Son of the Famous Confederate Gen
Hood.

HOOD.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. Dec. ID
Proof that at least one American soldier
Is fighting in the Boer army comes IN the
story of Duncan N. Hood, graduate Of
West Point, who has cast his fortunes
with the South African republic. Direct
information of his presence in the field
has been received here. Young Hood Is a
son of the famous Gen. Hood, of the Con-
federate army. He attended Riverview
Military academy, where he was prepared
for West Point. Duncan was adopted by
John Morris, Of New Jersey, who edu-
Gated him After graduation Hood traV-
eled through South America, Central
America and Mexico. Then he resigned
his commission as second lieutenant and
took up the study of mining engineering
In Columbia college. When the war be-
tween the United States and Spain broke
out, he promptly dropped studies and
speculation and went at once to his
native state, Louisiana. He was the first
to suggest to President Mckinley the idea
of immune regiments for service in Cuba
and was called to Washington to discuss
the idea. The result was that Mr.. Hood
was commissioned as colonel Of one of
the regiments. It happened that this
regiment saw no active service in Cuba.
Last July after being mustered out, Col
Hood returned to New York and resumed
his studies. The fact that he had not
seen actual fighting left him restless to
know what battle meant. Then came the
trouble in South Africa, and the young
soldier, again dropping his books and
putting aside his ambition In civil life,
left for South Africa just before war be-
gan. Now he has been commissioned In
the Beer army. 1t is believed that he al
ready has had a share of the fighting.
Col. Hood is about thirty years old.

is in charge of Samuel B. Raymond, and

The Philadelphians who are already
here, express themselves as delighted
with the result of their three days can
vass in Washington, and say they be-
lieve Philadelphia will be selected. They
say the one serious obstacle they have
met Is the charge that Pennsylvania is
in favor of a resolution basing the rep
resentation in the national convention on
the Republican votes cast, which, If
adopted, would cut down the Southern
representation. The Southern delega tes,
they say, have an idea that Pennsyl-
vania is for the proposed change, and
they started out tonight to counterfeit
this impression.
Contrary to expectation, the delega-
ton of New Workers, who were expected
today, did not put in an appearance,
but is expected IN force tomorrow morn
ing, when the representatives from st.
Louis are also expected.
1t is expected that the Southern nation
al committeeman are determined to make
fight against Mr.. Payne's plan for a
reapportionment Of delegates in the con-
vention, based on the Republican votes
cast. The statement is made that they
propose to act as a unit and cast their
votes on the subject of the selection Of
the place Of meeting in such a way as
will win for them most support in their
fight against reapportfonment.
