Critioism OF His Recent Action Cute Him
to tho Quick.
WASHINGTON. Nuv. 20. - Admiral
Dewsy, in an interview, expresses the
keenest regret, indignation. sorrow and
resentment at the manner in which
the information that he had decided his
home to his wife has been received by
the American people. He said he never
had been go annoyed and could not un.
aerstand how the American public could
20 misinterpret and ill.treat him.
The language of the interview is de-
cidedly warm, and no room is left for
guessing at the admiral's state OF mind.
He is mad and hurt clear through, and
doesn't care who knows it.
He says that if he had known what
was coming, he should have declined
che gift in the first place, and that if it
were not for his country, he could wish
that he had never fought the battle of
Manila bay. In conclusion the admiral
declares that he feels like throwing up
everything and going abroad to live.

respectively. a life interest to the prem

est, in case of death of either Of the par

Wheaton's Force to Go by Transport to
Cut on Aguinaldo.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The next
move of Importance in the Philippine
campaign is to be made by General
Wheaton. who will 60 up the coast by
transport to Vigan, at the mouth of
Abea river. This will land his forces
far to the north of where Aguinaldo is
supposed to be, the intention being to
cut off his retreat to the north. From
the military information bureau it Is
learned that east Of the route Aguin-
aldo is taking are mountains inhabited
by natives who are not friendly to
Aguinaldo and will be likely to attack
him if he tries to cross their territory.
The country along the coast is quite
well settled and there are several little
river harbors from which it is feared
Aguinaldo may escape by boat. Cen
eral Young, it is believed, is watching
these small ports with part of his
force.

OFFICIAL NEWS WITHHELD.
Evident, However, That the Situation in
Natal Is Alarming.

Evident, However, That the Situation in
Natal Is Alarming.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-Although it is
evident that the situation in Natal is
again becoming sufficiently alarming
nothing can be officially ascertained to
allay public anxiety or the curiosity
felt regarding the disposition of the re-
Inducements recently landed at Dur
ban. The war Office dispatches are
confined to a mere recital of few cas-
ualties at Mooi river, which confirm
the reports of skirmishes there, but
give no details as to how the engage
ments happened. Special correspond
ents are only permitted to describe
Major Barton's camp at Mooi rivei
vaguely as large" or ''ample." One
correspondent says that 1000 Beers are
within Is miles of Howick Falls, near
Pietermaritzburg and that the inhab-
itants are fleeing to the capital. Evi-
dently a considerable force of the
enemy is now within
Forty Mile. of Pietermaritzburg,
but it is officially announced from
there that no anxiety prevails, the gar
rison numbering 1000 men with six
guns.
General Joubert's plan, apparently, is
a daring attempt to defeat the British
relieving column from Durham in de-
tail, while still attempting reduction
of Ladysmith. A serious attack on
Mooi river camp is now hourly ex-
pected with the object of destroying
the bridge at Weston. Should this be
accomplished the Beers would be free
to turn their attention again to Est
court, while if it failed they would re-
tire again on Weenen or rejoin the in
vesting forces around Ladysmith.
The Boer report that General Hid
yards messenger asking General White
for assistance was captured causes some
uneasiness.

AMEND THE LAW.

Important Changes In tho Int rstato
Commerce Aot Recommended.
CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-Important amend
ments to the interstate commerce law
were approved at conference Of rep
resentatives Of over 30 national indus
trial and manufacturing associations,
merchants and shippers. The proposed
amendments to the statutes were pre-
pared by Frank Barry of Milwaukee,
secretary of the Millers' National asso-
citation. Arrangements have been
made to have Senator CullQm intro
duce the bill in the senate at the COM
ing session and determined effort will
be made to have it placed on the stat
ute books. The bill demands uni
form classification of rates and calls for
an important extension of the powers
of the interstate commerce commission
to prevent all kinds of discrimination
in favor Of manufactured product as
against the raw material. 1t also does
away with the system of Imprisonment
under the present law to one of fines,
making the corporation and not the in
dividual responsible and liable to prose-
cution.
Among those present at the meeting,
which was called for the purpose Of en-
dorsiny the measure, were E. p. Bacon
! of Milwaukee. +. B. Thurber, chairman
of the committee on railroad transpor-
tatiun of the board of trade of New
York, and G.. b. Cole of the Millers' as
sociation. The amendments were dis
cussed at length before decision was
reached. 1t is probable that q special
committee will be beappointed to advance
the interests of the measure in WASH

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The Daily News
has the following from Pietermaritz-
burg under Wednesdays date:
"Your correspondent managed to es-
cape from the Mooi river district yes
terday before the arrival of 6,OV0 Beers
who are looting the farmsteads in all
directions. The native Beers, encour-
aged by the successes of the Transvaal-
ers, join in the looting. The main
body of Beers made a rapid march
from Ulundi, southwest of Estcourt, to
q point near Fort Nottingham, south of
the railway, in q single day. They are
within 40 miles of Pietermaritzburg at
the farthest and it is said that they in
tend to attack the town."
Boers Moving Rapidly.
DURHAM, Nov. 23.-Owing to the
proximity of the Beers to Pietermaritz-
burg it has been necessary to alter the
defences of Durham. Estcourt is still
silent.
All accounts point conclusively to a
determined rush of the Beers towards
Pietermaritzburg with a very large
force. Several thousand men with
guns are reported rs miles from How
ick. They are said to be under the per-
sonal command of General Joubert.
Wednesdays engagement at Mooi
river found the British almost wholly
on the defensive.
