The account OF the self-in1icted
wounds upon the soldiers in Luzon
reminds one of the remarks which
General Pleasanton once made. He
said: "When an army is mustered in
it will be found that so per cent OF the
men are natural soldiers, that require
nothing but needed discipline to make
them perfect soldiers. Twenty-Five
per cent more will, with training,
make excellent soldiers, but it would
be cheaper to send the other 25 per
cent home at once, for they will never
make soldiers, and it is a great waste
of time and expense to aver try to
make them fighting men.

Banks are beginning to use the
mails for the transportation of gold
and silver coin and currency. Instead
Of shipping money by express, as
formerly, money is now sent by
registered mail.
By express it costs 81 IS to carry
81, 900 in gold from San Francisco 70
New York. That amount oil go'd
weighs four pounds, and by mail the
postage, including the registry iee' Is
81 SO. The rate on currency is " Oh
per 81, 1000, and il sent by registered
letter il would cost two cents an
ounce and eight cents registration fee.
The receipts Of the express compan-
les for shipping money have been
quite seriously curtailed as q result OF
the new method, and they are begin
ming to howl. They say the Govern
ment cannot afford to take the risk
which it is assuming in handling mon
ey by mail. 1t is a sufficient answer
that of the vast amounts already for
warded by registered mail, not a dollar
has been lost.
The incident is also instructive as
showing relative express charges
under Government and corporation
ownership.

Manila, Nov. 1.--oien. Hughes, commando
ing in the Visayan district. has sent In an
encouraging report.
He says the Island OF Negros is now
more peaceful and orderly than for twen-
ty years. The planters are pursuing their
business undsturbed by the bands OF bril-
gands who had long levied tribute on
them. The Americans have scattered the
brigands ana propose 10 pursue them until
they are effectually suppressed.

Col Hays, with four troops OF the

gents and pursuing them for three miles
without any loss. They captured two

advance is demoralizing the insurgents

Prisoners report them to be fleeing to
the hills. There are many deserters and
sick men, and the former are taking their
arms to the Americans. The cavalry's

NO ISLANDS LEFT OUT.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The positive state
ment is made here by authority that Spain
does not retain possession OF a single isl.

This is called forth by the declaration IN

American peace commissioners had allow
ca three Islands at the northern extremity
of the archipelago to remain under Span
ish control through their definition IN the
treaty Of the boundary of the group There

OF the British army. the tension has been
renewed, since there is no longer ground
TO dread that the loss of life and men was
accompanied by dishonor.
me details to-day show the catastrophe
In brighter aspect. The full battalion

VI prisoners Is materially reduced while
the disaster now appears to have been not
81 Afuch the consequence of defects in the
pan OF action as to a misfortune whereby
tie column was deprived of its ammuni-
t4on' sun, 1t seems incomprehensible why
the pllSht of the luckless column was not
known at headquarters as the scene OF the
surrender was only about three miles
northeast of L.adysmith and Lieut.. Col
Chariton must have expected relief to
reach him, or instead Of attempting to oc-
cupy a defensive position, he would have
fetraced his steps 10 Ladysmith when he
suffered the loss of his ammunition.
Losses Are Not Yet known.
Apart from Gen. Whites statement that
the losses are very numerous. there is
nothing to Indicate the extent of them, ex-
cept a vague report to the effect that the
soldier who brought the news 10 Lady
smith said the British dead and wounded
were lying in heaps, and that hundreds
needed doctors. This, however, is hardly
borne out by the lons list of captured
officers
The concluding sentence of Gen. Whites
dispatch, relative to the safety of Lady
smith. was received here with a certain
reserve, in view of the fact that similar
official assurances were given recently at
Dundee and Glencoe, and there Is intense
anxiety for further news of the reported
renewed attack, which Is not mentioned in
the official dispatches.
The calamity has served to show the
British who are their friends The papers
comment on the splendid reserve of pa
triotism existing in the far-away colonies
and the deep-seated feeling of friendship
and sympathy of the great kindred nation
across the Atlantic.
The Standard sums up the feeling Of the
nation saying:
From the United States and our colo
MES alone we hear the voice of friendly
sorrow and encouragement But that suf-
fees. All others are welcome to congratu-
late themselves over the misfortunes Of
Great Britain"

MAY BE a DUAL GOVERNMENT.
Nc gotintions for the Partition OF
Samoa.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Negotiapons for
the partition of the Samoan Islands are
proceeding rapidly and officials here would
not be surprised If final agreement wers
reached in the near future.
The discussion which is going on in Lon-
don with the cooperation OF the authori-
ties here and in Berlin, has Brought out
certain essential features on which All
three Powers Great Britain, Germany and
the United States appear to be agreed
AT the outset it is stated that the de-
termination was reached that the tEpar-
tite government of the group should come
to an end. and that not more than two
Powers, and preferably one. should govern
the islands. 1t soon developed that an
agreement was not likely to be reached by
which any one Power would take the en-
tire group but the chances seemed good
for an agreement that two Powers divide
the islands, thus giving a dual government
in place of the present unwedly tripar-
tite arrangement
In such an arrangement II seemed to be
generally accepted by the negotlators that
the United States would be one of the
Two powers to be represented, and that
the Island of Tutuila, on which the harbOr
of Pago-Pago is located, would naturally
fall to the iot OF the United States. II is
understood that the British authorities
quite coineided with this view, and that
while the Germans seemed to regard 1t
favorably, ii was left open for more ma
ture approval by the Berlin authorities.
One Of the remaining islands Upolu, is
OF much value, while the other Savah IS
practically vaueless. II is suggested that
Great Britain cede the Gilbert ana Solo
mon Islands to Germany, the latter retir-
ing from Samoa. The Fiji Islands and
some other points, also have been con-
sidered during the discussion but thus
far Germany has not acted favorably on
tho suggestion, and there have been evil
dences that she preferred 10 retain her in
terests and make compensation to Great
Britain. This remains open. and appears
to be the chief point remaining in the way
of a final adjustment
The foregoing general outline was given
to-day in quarters we'll informed on the
general lines of the negotiations, although
1t was with the reservation that the un-
derstandLnss were merely formative and
still open to material change.

THE PnIbTPPINE COMMISSION.
WIN Make n Report TO the President
During This Week.

During This Week.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The members of
the Philippine Commission, Admiral
Dewey, Profs. schurman and Worcester
and Col Denby, VIII make a preliminary
report to the President before Ihe end OF
this week. and it Is understood the report
viii be Immediately given to the public.
This report will be prepared by request,
as a result of the conference between the
President and the commission at tho
White House today The President per-
sonally summoned the commissioners, and
an hour was spent in consultation, DIR
ing which he explained the points he de-
sired covered in the preliminary report.
II may be weeks, possibly months, be-
fore the complete report is ready. Prof.
Schurman, who Ia president of the COM
mission said after the members left the
White House, that the report to be made
this week would cover certain phases Of
the situation which the President desired
cleared up at this time.
When asked II the report would touch
upon the so-called Sulu treaty which ts
the arrangement between Gen. Bate ana
the Sultan OF Sulu Prof. Schufman re-
piled In the negative.
"That was purely a military agreement"
he said, with which the commission had
nothing TO do
Secretary Hay and Secretary Root were
present at the conference.
The significant feature Of the mornings
conference was the revelation that the
commission Is absolutely unanimous IN It's
view respecting the proper line Of treat
ment Of the islands.
A member of the cabinet, speaking oe
the verbal report, said:
ia advance Of the completion of the re-
port. 1t IS not deemed proper TO make any
statement relative to the nature OF the
commissions disclosures 20 the President
this morning beyond the general one that
they tend to confirm the administration at
every point in the course Of treatment IL
has outlined for the islands and to remove
the least doubt as to the attitude that the
government should assume upon the ques-
ton of the retention Of the archipelago"

Shooting walker.


Shooting walker.
Columbia, S. c., Nov. AT Chester to-
day Judge Buchanan created sensation
in court. The case on trial grew out Of
the dispensary.
Several months ago Joseph II. Walker,
the leading grocer OF Chester, reported the
beer privilege establishment Of Henry y.
FIcwie as a nuisance, and also bought
bottle of beer from him, ia order to make
a test case, and test the authority of the
board TO open beer privilege stores.
Howie called at Walkers place of bust
ness and shot him, inhicting severe
wounds. EIowe was on trial for this as
sault, and the jury, having remained out
all night. came in to-day, reporting they
were unable to agree Tine jury was COM
posed of some OF the best men in the Town,
and was evenly divided.
The Judge, In -unmstaka Die tones of dis
gust, told the jury their failure TO agree
was a scandal. 1t was plain to him they
lacked manhood and intelligence enough to
render the proper verdict. He ridicu,ed
them severely, then abruptly ordered them
to dlsperse. get something to eat, and see
