jennings Was Robbed of $50. 600 in
Broad Daylight on a st. Louis
Street Car.

st. Louis, Oct. 30.-Robert p. Jen-
nings, secretary of the Broadway ca
BILE line, was robbed of sl,O43 in cash
ana $4s, $50 in checks while standing
on the rear platform of a Broadway
car at Broadway and Washington ave-
enue at noon to-day. The police at
tempted to suppress the facts, and as
consequence the news was not known
generally until three or four hours lat
er in the day. The act was committed
in broad daylight on one Of the busiest
streets in st. Louis. 1t is regarded as
one of the most daring crimes in the
history of the local police annals Mr.
Jennings had just drawn the money
from the bank, intending to take it to
the company's Office on North Broad
way to pay off the hands. The rob-
bers evidently knew he had drawn the
money from the bank.
Just as Mr.. Jennings was getting on
the car two men appeared and one

attract his attention away from the
other man. who picked his pockets
while the street railroad official turn
ed to see who jostled him. Mr.. Jen-
nings discovered that he had been
robbed shortly after it occurred but
the men in the meantime had made
their escape. When he learned of his
loss he reported it to the police, and
five detectives We're Immediately dis
patched to the scene to work on the
case. The robbers, however. had Sc
cured a good lead and the police could
find no trace of them. Payment on

the company.
Mr.. Jennings was robbed of a large
amount several years ago under some

he WILL TAKE A WIFE
Admiral Dewey Is Engaged to
Mrs. w. B. Hazen.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
The Marriage Is Expected to Take Place
Some Time in November - She Is
the Widow OF Former Chief
Signal Ofhcsr.

Washington, Oct. 30.--Admiral Dew
ey announced to some Of his more in
innate friends tonight the fact Of his
this city.
Mrs. HaZen is the widow Of General
Hazen, formerly chief signal officer Of
the army, who died about 10 years ago,
and Is a distant relative OF John r.
Mclean, democratic candidate for gcv-
ernor of Ohio. Mrs. Hazen has no
children, and since her husbands
death has made her home with her
mother. She is woman of large
means, about 40 years Of age and
popular in the best society circles of
Washington. The date for the we'd
ding has not been fixed.
The news of the admiraPs engage
ment first became known tonight,
when the admiral announced the fact
to a few of his friends. Later in the
evening he visited the Lafayette
Square theater, and while there also
communicated" the news to some Of
his near friends. and to Secretary
Long, who occupied one of the boxes.
While the date of the wedding is not
definitely known, the understanding is
that it will take place some time DUR
ing November. Rumor has connected
the names of the admiral and Mrs.
Hazen for some time. but little atten-
ton was paid to the matter 1t was
at the home of Mrs. Mclean. the
mother of Mrs. Hazen, that the ad-
miral stopped when he came to WASH
ington after his return from Manila.
Previous to his departure to take
charge OF the Asiatic squadron two
years ago he had been a visitor at
the house. The admirals first wife
died In 1872. She was the daughter OF
a former governor of New Hamp-
shire. One child from that marriage,
SON, is now living in New York.
General Hazen, the former husband
OF Mrs llazen, died on the 18th of
January, 1887. and a son from their
union died last year.
Mrs. Hazen has long been a social
favorite in Washington. She is pos
graceful manners and has a brilliant
mind
A delegation of citizens of Tennessee
were among the first to learn of the
admirals engagement. Headed by
Representative Gaines of that state,
they called early in the evening to eX-
tend an invitation to the admiral to be
present in Nashville on the occasion
Of the return home of the First Ten
nessee regiment from Manila. Admi-
raj Dewey urged the pressure of Of
fetal duties, including the meeting of
the Philippine commission, which
would prevent his accepting the invita-
ton. There We're other matters, he
said which also INTERVIEWED to prevent
his coming and he admitted that he
had just secured the promise of his in
tended bride to become Mrs. Dewey.
The admiral was warmly congratu-
lated by the members of the delega-
tion.

AN ORDERLY RETREAT.
The Beers Showed Skillful Use of Their
Big Guns.

London, Oct. 31.-Tevens. the war
correspondent Of the Daily Mail. de-
scribing the engagement at Ladysmith,
says:
By 10 o'clock the British had driven
the Beers back several miles, when the
retirement was ordered, which Sir
Archibald Hunter conducted with great
skill. retiring battalion by battalion,
covering the movement with the artil-
lery of their guns by alternate bat
teries. The Boer artillery, field quick
firing and siege guns, Immediately
opened a heavy fire all around, show
ing their knowledge OF war by aiming
at the guns and wagons as they re-
tired Little damage was done, how
ever, ana our operations We're quite
unfiurried. \,
At the end OF the action bearer
company advanced under Red Cross
flag to seek the wounded and was fired
upon by the Beers, apparently through
a misapprehension or because Of want
OF discipline, since the3fre soon ceased.
In the meantime the native bearers
continued their advance, their cool
bravery being most praiseworthy.
All the troops retired in safety and
pickets were left on the field.
Except a vague reference in the
Standard, none of the special dis
patches make mention Of the missing,
statements regarding the movements
being excised by the censor.

Robert Jell, a conductor, and George

We're all put on the stand by the gov

Five miners. who had been confined
in the Moscow jail and whose names
did not appear on the Indictment, were
released from custody to-day and are
now free men.
Their names are John S. Earls, Or

London, Oct. 31-Yesterdays en-
gagement at Ladysmith, which, despite
the heavy losses, must rather be re-
garded as an extended reconnaissance
or skirmish than a battle, seems to
make little change in the actual posi-
ton. 1t is disappointing to the Brit
ish public, as again revealing tactical
skill OF an unexpectedly high order on
| the side Of the Beers. In addition to
the possession Of a number of heavy
guns, the transport of which causes
wonderment here, they have shown
| marvellous ability. Unless commanded
by skillful European officers, it is
hardly considered probable that Boer
farmers would have assumed feigned
position, as they evidently did, in front
of the right column with the intention
of retreating from it to their real line
of defense and inducing the British to
attack over a fire-swept zone.
The special dispatches describing
the engagement again fail to confirm
General Whites official account that
the Beers We're pushed back several
miles. When it is considered that
the censorship is very severe, the only
conclusion that can be arrived at IS
that the action was inconclusive. The
fighting began with a front attack on
the main Boer position, which, how
ever, was found evacuated. The enc
my,having retired, now made a change
of front and developed a heavy attack
on Colonel Grimwood's brigade. TO
meet this the British artillery, which
had been shelling the evacuated posi-
tion, also changed front.
Grimwood's brigade was promptly
reinforced, but soon was obliged to
fall back rapidly with consequences
which might have been serious had
not the SD field battery pluckily COW
cred the movement at considerable loss
to itselc.
1t is quite certain that General White
failed to accomplish the object he in
tended and the days proceedings are
an instructive example of the difficult
ty of operations when the enemy
holds an extended position by which
he is able to make sudden and unex-
pected developments anad changes of
front.
Sir Redvers Butler cannot arrive at
the scene of fighting until the end of
this week. In the meantime General
White will need all his resources to
prevent the Beers linking their forces.
The omission of all details likely 10
give true idea of the position from
General Whites dispatch may be due
to his reticence, but editing by war
office officials is likely to be again Sc
verely commented upon.

DECISION REVERSED.
Supreme Opinion in New Mexico Land
Case,


Case.
Washington Oct. 30.-In the United
States supreme court to-day an opin-
ion was handed down by Justice Brown
in the case of the appeal of the United
States from the decision of the court
Of private land claims in the case of
the Cuyamunga land grant, situated
in Santa. Fe county, N. M. The land
court decided that the title to the
grant was properly held by Maria de
la Paz de Conway and associates, and
declined to except in the decree lands
covered by patents issued to Pueblo
Indians covering a large portion Of
the grant.
The decision rendered to-day holds
that these lands should have been ex-
cepted and accordingly reversed the
opinions OF the lower court. The court
affirmed the opinions of the private
land court in the case of the claim
of the town of Real de Dolores del ORC
to land also located in New Mexico, af-
firming the decision of the court of
private land claims.
The court, in an opinion by Justice
Gray. reversed the decision OF the su-
preme court of Arizona in a case in
vulvirg title to the Sonvito grant in
Arizona This title was at issue be-
tween Santiago Ainza and the New
Mexico 4 Arizona Railroad Company
The reversal was based upon the rul-
ing of the court below that the case
could not be tried in the ordinary
courts

DROVE THEM BACK.
Whites Energetic Measures to Clear His
Left Flank.

LEU Flank.
London, Oct. 3o.-General Whites
dispatch, dated 4:30 p. m. to-day, reads:
II employed all the troops here ex-
cept the obligatory garrison before the
works. I sent a mountain battery,
the Royal Irish fusiliers and the Glou-
cesters to take up q position on the
hills to clear my left flank. The force
moved at II o'clock yesterday evening
and during some night firing the bat
terry mules stampededs with some of
the guns, which, however, 1 hope to
recover. These two battalions have
not yet returned, but are expected this
afternoon.
II detailed two brigade divisions of
field artillery and five battalions of in
fantry, aided by cavalry under Cen
eral French, to attack a position upon
which the enemy has mounted guns.
We found this position evacuated,
but our forces were attacked with con-
siderable vigor by what l believe were
General Joubert's troops. They had
many guns and showed in great num-
bers. Our troops were all in action
and we pushed the enemy back several
miles, but did not succeed in reaching
his laager. Our losses are estimated
at between so and 100 but those of
the enemy must have been much
greater, the guns of our forces appear
ing very effective.
After being in action for several
hours I withdrew the troops and they
returned unmolested to their canton
ments. The enemy are in great num-
bers and their guns range further than
our field guns.
Il now have some naval guns which
haves temporarily silenced, and I hope
will permanently dominate the ene-
my's guns which have been lombard
ing the town."

other slight lung complications: condi-

The colonel's mother and sister, liv-

He said he was afraid his brother hal
attempted TO conceal his condition in
order to spare their mother.
However, l think from my advices
that his Illness is not serious, said

it hae been ascertained that the Natal
Dutch have been actively assisting the
Beers by carrying information regard

that. although the landings and de-
parture of the troops are effected by
night and the greatest secrecy is main
tanned, yet the enemy somehow gets
information, despite the severe censor

that the Dutch have assisted the Beers

RlOTING IN MANILA.
Chinese Displaced by Filipinos on Gov
ernmant Work.

Chinese Displaced by finplnos on Gov-
ernmsnt Work.
Washington, Oct. 20.-Recent mail ad-
vices from Manila show the existence of
much uneasneas among the Chinese FEST
dents of the city and suburbs, due to re-
peated riotous conflicts between the ma
tive Filipnos and the Chinese. One of
the sources of friction appears to be the
displacement of Chinese laborers by FIJI
ipinos on a considerable amount of gov
ernment work. The transportation quar-
termaster general discharged some 200
Chinese and filed their places with Fill
ipinos, most of them Macabbees, brought
from the interior. The discharge of the
Chinese is said to be due to their unWil-
lingness to be shifted to various points
where the emergency work was to be
done. In the suburbs of Binondo party
of Cinnamon were attacked by native la
drones and a pitched battle ensued, one
Of the Chinese being killed and several
others wounded.

the meeting of the city council to-
