Cape Town, Oct. 16.-Orange Free State troops have cut the telegraph wires and destroyed the railroad track at NOrvaTs Point, just across the Or ange Free States southern borders.
 A Boer commander, estimated at 2OO0 men, with sixteen field guns, has reached Dannhauser, northeast of Dun dee, with the probable intention of sur rounding Dundee and cutting off the garrison from communication with Glencoe and Ladysmith. It is supposed this force is commanded by Command ant Vilijien and comprises the German gunners The rest of the Boer force from Newcastle is believed to be around Glencoe to sever con- nection with LadysInith.

TROOPS TRANSPORTATION
No Necessity 10 Hire Four Additional
 Vessels.

Washington. Oct. 16.-The secretary or war has decided that the movement Of troops to Manila can be accomplish ed by the present fleet of transports without hiring the four additional yes sels, the Nostock, Aube, FIintshire and Moyuna, whose charter has been un- der consideration. The aim of the de- partmcnt has been to get all of the fresh troops to Manila by December D, and to carry this determination out to the letter would have necessitated the additional vessels mentioned. But by using the Warren and the sherman at the earliest opportunity the two additional colored regiments can be landed by January ] and January 10. respectively. These regiments were not included in the original estimate of the troops for transport, and the question of getting them to Manila d scant month earlier is not thought to warrant the large expenditure that would be entailed in chartering and quitting four new vessels.

Tacoma, Oct. 16.-Mail advices from Hong Kong report that Baldomoro Aguinaldo, a brother of the insurgent leader, is imprisoned at Filipino head quarters and will soon be shot for treason.
 Aguinaldo says he will not interfere Early last month BaIdemoro embedded sSO,OOO from the treasury and with five others escaped into the American lines intending to reach Hong Kong via Ma nila. While he slept his associates stole and divided the money, leaving him penniless. He returned to Filipino headquarters and was arrested.

 her of the wind for minute as she went by. It was nine minutes and forty seconds later when the Shamrock swung around the mark and squared away for the finish. The Columbia was already nearly two miles away and in a procession.
 There was a soul-stirring scene as the Columbia approached the finish. Excursion boats had gathered there in semicircle to give her a welcome and as she swept across the finish bed lam broke loose. The steam whistles shrieked, the screens walled, the Cor sair, the flagship of the New York Yacht club. and several other steam yachts flung their powder into smoke, and the multitude on the decks of the side-wheelers cheered. The Corsair hauled down all her private signals and set Old Glory at each masthead and gaf and taffrail. The race tomorrow will be over a triangular course, ten miles to the leg, and the Shamrock will have an opportunity to show what she can do at her favorite point of sailing

Yokohama, Oct. 1, via San Francisco,
 Oct. 16.-The Japanese government in
 tends to introduce in the next session of the diet. a law freeing foreigners from all restrictions as to the mining business in Japan. The existing law prohibits them from becoming share holders or partners in any mining company By the new law that pro- vision is to be entirely done away with.
 A fire at Hal1odate. September 15, resulted in the destruction of almost 5000 houses. Within a little more than month three great fires in Yolz- ohama, Toyama and Hakodate have destroyed about 1000 houses, a fact which has led to a serious discussion in the press as to whether the time had not come for the adoption of an entirely different style of urban archi- lecture in order to prevent so frequent a recurrence of disastrous confagara- tions.
 Shanghai is excited over the grastly news from New Chwang that a gov  ernment doctor. sent to make an inves- gation, discovered four depots con- taining 2,oOG collins of plague vic tins to be sent to other provinces.

BRYAN TO SPEAK IN OHIO
His I:inerary Will Be Limited fo
 CouDtty Districts.

Columbus, O., Oct. 16.-The report
 that on account of i'll health w. J.
 Bryan will have to cancel his Ohio
 dates is vigorously denied by Chair man Seward of the democratic state committee, and there seems to be no more substantial basis for this than that MT. Bryan is temporarily suffer
 that prevails among the republicans at least. is that MT. Bryan would like to avoid Ohio if he could grace fully in this campaign and that Me Lean would like to have him do SO This opinion finds some ground in the fact that MT. Bryan has been as signed to speak only in rural counties of strong democratic tendencies. It is evidently the intention of the demo- crats not to stir up the money ques- tion in the large cities.
 But excepting MT. Bryan no promi- nent democrat from outside the state has been brought into the Ohio cam paign. The republicans are making a much more vigorous fight on the stump than the democrats are. Many of the best campaigners of the party are either at work in the state now or are billed to appear soon. Among these are Senators PenrOse, Burrows Thurston and De0ew, Representative Henderson, T. V. Powderly and NJ. T.. Ratchford, former national president of the United Mine Workers. and Gov crnor Roosevelt. Mclean himself is making no speeches. He has so far confined his campaigning since the formal opening of the campaign at Hamilton to county fairs, where he is simply introduced and makes a few remarks.

 A strong effort is being made to pro- cure the release of Marcus L. Hen nion, the dead mans step-son-in-law, who is locked up in the Essex county jail upon suspicion of being the ,nur- derer. His counsel, John L. Johnson and Elwin ". Crane, insist that there is rot a bit of evidence to convict him, and those who caused his arrest are beginning to feel the same way about the matter.

EASIER IN NEW YORK.

New York, Oct. 16-There were some captious financiers down town today
 inclined to make little of the treas
 ury departments offer, but argument
 on the subject ceased as the day wore on and the contrast became more
 marked between current money rates
 and those that prevailed Saturday be-
 fore the treasury offer was made pub
 lie. The bulk of the loans made to-
 day were at the legal rate, and more
 were made below than above it. though at the opening per cent was asked.
 The opinion of bankers generally is that money is going to steadily work easier. and that by the end of the month at latest there will be return to normal conditions here. Bankers say that the stringency which pre- vails here does not exist elsewhere in the country, and that outside of the large cities the banks are unusually we'll supplied with funds. They point to the Nebraska banks with 45 per cent reserve as an illustration of the situation.
 Interest payment on government bonds began today at the subtreasury Arrangements have been made to pay the interest upon demand from that date on. MT Mulhmann. deputy as- sistant treasurer, estimated that if $50, 00,000 was the amount of interest due under the order not more than one-t third, or $1OOOO, 900, will be paid out before it is due. This is also the opinion among investment houses that make a speciality of government bonds. They expect that the banks will take advantage of the relief offered. but that the individual holder will not anticipate his coupons.
 The point in regard to government bonds being a good delivery with the interest prepaid has been raised and met in the same manner it was when government interest was anticipated in 1890. The bonds will be stamped prepaid, so that when a transfer is made the purchaser will understand that he is buying them ex-interest. The stock exchange will probably make a ruling to this effect in short time.

THE COTTON CROP
StafiS'iCian Neil of New Orleans Fia-
 ures Out Large Crop.

New York, Oct. 16.-Henry M Neil, the New Orleans statistician. today made public a circular letter bearing upon the cotton crop for the year, in which he expresses his continued be- lief in a large crop and an over supply of cotton.
 In his letter MT. Neil notes that the bureau report for October 1. 1897, showed a decline in condition of eighty-two points from it's September report, and the September report had shown a decline of eighty-six points compared with August The decline was attributed to long continued drouth. and yet the crop of fS97-9S, to which these reports referred, exceeded the previous crop by 2,45O, 900 bales and exceeded the largest previous crop QS94-95) by 100000 bales.
 Then follows tables of the rainfall for the nine weeks from July 22, 1899, up to the end of September and of the same period in 1S97-9S which show the following figures: 1S9S-Texas, 2.S7; 1S97-9S, Atlantic. S.23; Gulf AT; Texas, ASS. MT. Neil then says:
 As the outturn of the crop of 1S97-9S demonstrated by it's enormous result that the weather in August and September instead of being injurious must have been highly favorable, and as both the Atlantic states and the gulf states except Texas have had more rain than in that year, which these reports for August and September aRged to be tco dry, the demonstra $ con-

HEAVY CASH PAYMENTS MADE
The Treasury is Not Likely Going fO Redeem any Bonds But Inter. est Prepavments and Large DiS- burSementS Already in Droaress. The Sentiment in the Financial Center.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Assistant Sec retary Vanderlip's mail this morning was filled with letters of approval of his action in anticipating the payment of interest on government bonds. The letters came from all classes of busi- ness men and all commended him and congratulated him upon his course. The following extract from the letter of one of the most prominent bank presidents in New York gives an idea of the general tone of the others received today:
 T am glad to assure you that your action has met with universal com mendation by the banking and busi- ness fraternity here. The conviction seems to be very general that it will afford much needed relief: at all events, it places the government en- tirely right in the eyes of the public. You have manifested willingness to relieve the situation and, at the same time, by imposing a moderate interest rebate. have obviated the charge which might be made that

 Assistant Secretary Vanderlip said this afternoon, in relation to the rumor that the treasury department was considering thu proposition to call in the s25. .3645 800 per cent bonds redeemable at pie asure, that there was no disposition to redeem any bonds at present.
 The treasury department is contin- uing it's policy of trying to relieve the stringency in the money markets by daily cash disbursements for expendi- lures of the government. The treasu.- ry statement this morning shows that S1,0OO,OOO was paid out yesterday to meet the deficiencies in the postal rev enues.
 This payment reduces the surplus in the treasury just that much and shows that the receipts for the day amount to $1, ,723, ,23O.41, while the expenditures were 2.790. OOOO. Last Saturday the were $2,70O.OOO. It is the intention of the department to con- tinue these heavy expenditures where it is possible. There were also several large expenditures Saturday on ac- count of the war, and there will be several more similar disbursements within the next few days.

SKATER RETIRED
By Special Arrangement He Will
 Remain al inc PreSidiO.

Washington, D. C., Oct 16--By oper- ation of the age limit, General William
 R. Shafter is today placed on the re-
 tired list of the regular army. By a special agreement arrived at some time since, however, General Shafter is to remain in command of the department of California, with his present voiun- teer rank as major general, until all the volunteers are returned from Manila for muster out and until the last of the new infantry regiments have started across the Pacific.
 For the vacancy caused by the re- tirement of General Shafter from the regular service it is expected that the following colonels will be successively promoted to the rank of brigadier gen. erals and immediately retire: Colonel Louis M. Carpenter, Fifth cavalry; Colonel Royal T. Frank, First artillery; Colonel Alexander c. M. Pennington, Second artillery; Colonel Andrew S. Burt, Twenty-f1fth infantry; Colonel Samuel Overshine, Twenty third in fantry. The retirement of these five officers will open the way for the presi- dent to recognize the conspicuous achievements of Colonels Lawton and Either of these two off cers is to receive the vacant brigadier- The other will be promot- ed to the same rank in January next, when General Thomas M. Anderson re- tires for age.

ONLY RUMORS YET.

London, Oct. 16.-The gradual cutting off of outlying points at the scene of hostilities in South Africa from tele- graphic communication has reduced the
 accurate news obtainable to a mini
 mum. Thus far, however, no reliable information has been received of any actual fighting except at Kraaipan and occasional exchanges of shots at vari- ous outposts. There is no lack of cir cumstantial stories regarding fighting at various points, but these are scarce ly published before they are denied. The only salient facts in this morning s telegrams are that the Boers have ad- vanced beyond New Castle and formed a laager near Dannhauser, about I2 miles north of Dundee, and that Kim berly is isolated and probably invested
 The war office issued the following note this afternoon: Dispatches re- ceived do not point to any material change in the situation. Small bodies of Boers are reported to have crossed the Natal frontier at various points and entrenchments are said to have been thrown up at Van Reenan's Pass"

 The largest purchases on record by the trade were last year 10, 736, 900 bales. Now a growth of Il ,O0G 900 bales, which I think, we may say is now assured, with the old cotton held in the interior, will mean for the south to sell and the trade to buy more the third year, a large addition to the surplus, which at the first of September stood at 9,211, ,000 bales, against 2,6O7, ,OO0 bales in 1898 and 1 .42S. 900 bales in 1897, visible and invis- ib1e"
