the Beers fleeing preCipitately, leaving
many dead and wounded, as well as
the whole camp and equipment in the
hands of the British. This success
will upset the plans of the Orange
f, Free State commanders, and, possibly,
will prevent them giving the British
further trouble from the west.
The Daily Mail publishes the follow
ing dispatch from Burghersdorp, dated
Nov. 2: The large British camp at
Stormherg Junction has been broken
up today by the order of Sir Redvers
Butler Everything, including guns,
stores, tents and the usual parapher-
malta of camp is being removed to
Queenstown, about 50 miles southeast
OF StoImberg. An Orange Free State
force, about $500 strong. with several
guns, which for some time was con-
centrated just across the Orange river
has crossed the bridge at BethuIie, de-
stroying portions Of the railway on its
march. 1t is said that In addition to
Stormberg, Rosmead Junction and
Naauwpoort are to be evacuated.
General Butler. the British COM
mander in South Africa, te.agraphs
under date of Nov. S: Lieutenant
Eserton, of the Powerful, is dead at
Ladysmith. General Jouhert sent in
Major c. s. Kinkaid, of the Royal
Irish Fusilers, and nine wounded
prisoners. Eight Beers were sent out
in exchange no others being fit to
travel. Colonel Rrecklehurst with
cavalry. field artillery, the Imperial
Light Horse and the Natal mounted
volunteers, was engaged today with
the enemy to the southwest OF Lady
smith. The fighting lasted several
hours. Our loss was yerv small, The
hombardment of Ladvsmith continued
yesterday and today. many Boer shells
being pitched into the town"
The Dutch residents of Cape Town,
says a news dispatch. have received
news OF sauguinary battle fought on
Saturday. probably between Ladysmth
and Colenso. A large number of the
Beers were killed, many being rela-
tives of Natal Dutch residing in Cape
Town. The English residents have no
knowledge of any engagement.
Transports have just been secured
for the Woolwich Howitzer brigade,
which will be hurried to the cane The
brigade has 10000 rounds of 5-inch
Lyddite shells awaiting 1t. According
to the estimates, a single shell, falling
iEto a compact body. will kill 300
men. 1T was demonstrated in the bat
tie Of Omdurman, which destroyed the
army of khalita Abdullah, that large
numbers of dervishes were killed by
sutfocation, while hundreds Of vutures
and eagles fell upon the. battlefield
from the same cause.
The general belief in London Is that
the Beers are now waiting for rnore
guns from Pretoria before attacking
Ladysmith. The fact that Sir Redvers
Butler appears to have ordered re-
tfrement from Stormberg, and per-
haps from other places, relieves to
some extent the public mind Conf
dence Is felt in any measures that Cen

coLORADO'S BURNING MOUNTAIN.
A Glow OF Coal md Gas Tint Has Not
Ceased During a Century,

mountain which has been on fire for
more than 100 years is situated Just
west Of Newcastle Colo. So close is it
that its shadow envelOps the town at )
p. H., and yet the people thereabouts
think no more of it than Of the beautiful
Grand river which washes the feet of the
huge pile where the fire has burned so
long. To the tenderfoot, however, the
gittcrng patches Of deep red lire, where
1t breaks out on the side of the mountain
and is exposed to view, there is nothin;
in all the state quite its equal.
The fire is fed by Il big vein of coal
which the mountain contains. Just how
the coal became ignitcd is not known.
The eldest resident says it WAS on fire
when he came, and the Ute Indians, who
once lived there. say it was burning
many years before the first white man
crossed the continental divide. The sup
position is that the coal was gnited by
forest fire at an early date in the present
century. 1t has smoldered and steadily
burned until this day. At night when the
moon is dark is the best time to see the
fire. Then il is that it resembles the re-
gions of inferno as given us in the word
painting OF Dante. The earth covering
the coal is loosened by the heat and falls
away, exposing the sheet Of fire.
The escaping gas probably assists in
stripping off the rocks and dirt, and
wherever the vein Of coal approaches the
surface the fire can be seen The first

PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.
Kentucky Marshals and Militia Mus
J,e in Rpadjpags

Louisville, Nov. 6-Ante-election in
tcrest was heightened last night by q
report from Frankfort containing a
hint of some action on the part of
United States Marshal A. D. Jones in
connection with the state election. In
view of widely circulated reports as
to the possibility of trouble, and even
bloodshed, tomorrow, this report caus-
ed much speculation. 1t told of a
letter said to have been received by
Deputy Marshal Mccarthy, at Frank
fort, from Mr.. James notifying him not
to leave his post of duty tomorrow and
to be in readiness to respond to orders
by telegraph or telephone from federal
headquarters at Louisville This, i.
is said. was a copy of circular sent
to all deputy marshais in the state.
Colonel Mengel, OF the Louisville
Legion, the local organization of
militia, last night ordered Company

upon. Feeling is intense, but 1t ia gem
orally so just before the election in
Kentucky. This was notably SO in

Ninety-nine people in every hundred,

their spines, take it for granted that the
black edges are put on with q printing

Expedition Under General Whea-
ton Leaves Manila.
PROBABLY BOUND FOR DAeUPAN.

THIS Is Ag.inaldo's Latest ''Capital."
and 1t Is Hoped That the Poesent
Concerted Operations VIII Soon Put
an End to Organized Insurrection.
Manila, Nov 6.---Last evening fleet
of transports and gunboats left Manila
for the most important expedition of
the autumn campaign. Its destination
is supposed to be Bagupan or some
other northern port General Wheaton
commands, with brigade consisting
OF the Thirteenth infantry. the Thirty
third infantry. two guns of the Sixth
artillery and two gatlings. A dispatch
boat was sent ahead to arrange rem
devious with the United States cruiser
Charleston and the other warships that
are patrolling the north coast Of Luzon.
The landing will be made under
cover of the guns of the fleet. 1t is
assumed here that the purpose Of the
expedition is to move down the Dagu-
Manila railroad toward Tarlac or
to prevent Aguinaldo's forces making
another base farther north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strong
holds of the insurgents in the north.
and, 1t Is supposed. the points where
most of the filibustering parties land.
Since the beginning of hostilitiss 1t
has been the unanimous opinion Of
military experts here that Dagupan
should be made base of operations,
tut sufficient troops have heretofore

Macarthur and Lawton moving upon
Tarlac from three directions, and Tho
mountains hemming in the other side,
the nsurgent capital will soon become
untenable.
Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his
headquarters to the rich tobacco coun-
try at the northern end of the island
Possibly he may slide around General
Lawton's front to the southern prov
inccs, but as MacArthur's and Law
tons troops are spread across the
country from Angels to Cabanatuan,
it will be difficult for the insurgents.
to escape.
Should the concerted operations sue
coed organized insNrection, on
large scale, should be at an end early
next spring, although guerrilla war
fare is likely to continue for a long
time. No one anticipates that the in
sursents will make many hard battles.
The problem is to move the troops
about the country, to maintain trans
poltation and to hold the territory
gained.
The moral effect of the arrival of a
large American army is calculated up
on to sap Aguinaldo's strength by de-
sert!ons and through the loss OF hope
among the supporters Of the revolu-
tlonary movement.
Two columns Of General MacAr-
thurs division yesterday took Maya
ling, about six miles northeast Of An
geles. Colonel Smiths force killed II
insurgents, wounded 1928 and captured
50, as well as taking lot of insur-
gent transportation. Major O'Brien's
force killed 40 insurgents, wounded
many and took 20 prisoners. The
Americans had II men wounded.
