TRYING A NEW GUN.

London, Nov. 16.-In connection with
the hostilities in South Africa the war
department is awaiting with consider
able interest reports as to the opera
tions of the new Colt automatic gun,
which, it is supposed, has had it's first
practical test in actual warfare during
the last few weeks. The gun is novelty
in it's way, inasmuch as it self-operat-
ing after the first shot has been fired
1t consists of a single heavy barrel,
weighing about forty pounds, or, COM
plete with mountings and cartridges,
Ia pounds.
1t is readily portable and fires mini
mum of 400 shots a minute. Other ad-
vantages claimed for it are that it
gives practically no recoil, and does
not need a water jacket.

ness. The evening was utilized by the

lodge represented, reported in favor of

lodge at Tucson. a minority report pre-
sented by Mr.. Sweeney. favoring Phoe-
nix instead of Tucson was presented
and adopted. The adoption of the mi

great qualification of the delegates
from the north.
On Wednesday afternoon the grand

SILVER GDtS HIGHER
O2maGd Abroad and tnS Approach
tna HnI,6ay Season Iause l..

New York, Nov. 16.-Silver made a
further advance in price yesterday of
q of a cent an ounce Commercial bars
sold in the local market at 59% cents
against 50 cents on Tuesday. This
makes a gain of 1% cents an ounce in
four days. In London the market was
an ounce. L. Zimmerman of thinner
man & Forshay said regarding the
advance:
Several circumstances are RESPONSE
BILE for the improvement. In the Lon
don market the British mint has been
buying the metal for coinage. Some of
this new coinage, it is understood, will
be sent to South Africa to pay the
troops. 1t is also reported that there
is under consideration a proposition to
coin, for use in China and the far east,
British dollars to take the place of
Mexican dollars, now the circulating
medium. 1t was announced last week
that the French mint was also in the
market with large order. and. in ad-
dition, there has been an increased de-
mand for the metal on the part of the
London representatives of banking
firms in India and China.
''All these orders come at a time
when there is a demand for the metal
the world over on the part of silver
smiths, who are preparing for the hol-
iday trade. There is no sentimentality
nor any politics about the advance"

AGUINALDO'S NEW REFUGE
6ayombona In r CT Valley. but Sur.
rounds d by Hostile N. orifos.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Great interest
is felt in the war department over
Aguinaldo's sudden change of base to
Bayombong, about seventy-five miles
northeast of Tarlac. There are numer-
Gus spelIings of the latter place. but
the form given is the one most gen.
orally adhered to on the maps in pos
session of the war department. The
most interesting feature of the new
situation is that Aguinaldo has been
forced out of the Tagalo country into
a region to the north where Tagalo is
not spoken, and where the mountains
are filled with Negritos and other saw
galos.
To the southwest tase of CarabelIo
mountain there is a narrow break in
the mountain range. and within a few
miles around she base of Carabello
mountain on it's northern slope one
strikes the headwaters of the great
Cagayan, that flows northward $50
miles into the China sea. 1t is on the
headwaters of the Magat that Aguin-
aldo is now located. The way is open
for him down the long stretch of river
to Aparri, at the mouth of the Caga-
yam, where it flows into the sea. This
is one of the widest, but richest val
leys in the island. 1t is believed that
the river Cagayan is navigabIe for our
tin-clad gunboats $50 miles from it's
mouth, and for cascoes much farther.
1t is expected as soon as Aguinaldo
shows any disposition to move down
the valley toward the China sea that
the warships and gunboats will be sent
around the northern end of the island
to meet him and shut off his escape.
If it is his intention to escape from
Luzon he would naturally seek Aparri,
or some northern port, but the country
around Carabello mountain is such
that he could probably stand off the
whole American force in a game of
hide and seek in the hills for the great
er part of the coming season.
Secretary Root feels no concern over
the move of Aguinaldo to a new base
of operations at Bayombong. The sec
retary said yesterday that the move
was distinctly retrograde. 1t was in
the nature Of a ratreat after fDdipu o.
that his former base was untenable.
Throughout the war department the
view prevails that Aguinaldos move
does not materially change the cam
paign plans and that these will be
pushed with unabated vigor

a NEW TORPEDO BOAT
An Interesting French Submarine
Affair.

Paris, Nov. 16.-The greatest interest
is displayed in naval circles in the
forthcoming trial of the new sub-ma-
rine torpedo-boat Narval, recently
launched at Cherbourg. 1t is claimed
for the new craft that the preliminary
tests have proved her to be the most
successful of submarine boats yet con-
structed. The length of the boat 10
feet and the displacement is 1O6 tons
The hull is composed of two skins sep
arated from each other by water tight
bulkheads. The filling of these enables
the craft to be sunk as required. When
operating on the surface the boat is
driven by ordinary steam engines.
AS soon as she dives the motive power
is supplied by dynamos, the electricity
being derived from accumulators pre-
viously charged by the steam engines
On the surface the Narval has a speed
of from eight to twelve knots an hour
while under water her maximum speed
is expected to be eight knots.

Manila, Nov. 16.-During thirty-six
hours four and one-half inches of rain

ported the capture of many supplies in
transportation to the north and east
of San Nicholas, and our troops moving

Urdaneta, where an insurgent force is
reported. Macarthur has the railroad
between Bambam and Tarlac in opera
tion for five miles, the road south of
Bambam is being reconstructed. The re-
moved rails were found north of Tar
lac. Macarthur sends four battalions
and one troop of cavalry forward to

BROTHERS OF ST. ANDREW.

Baltimore, Md. Nov. 16.-Numerous
delegates are arriving in Baltimore for
the annual convention of the Brother
hood of st. Andrew and Philip, which
begins its sessions tomorrow. The re-
ports to be submitted to the gathering

though less than a decade old the
Brotherhood has enrolled about 500
chapters in twenty-one religious bodies

tories of this country and several of the
Canadian provinces.

gers are safe on the Ceres. The Athasia

THE SQUEAK or TREASON
Lord George Hamilton Calls nichatI
Dsviff an IrreconCiIabIr RsbeI.

London, Nov. 16.-The Right Hon.
Lord George Hamilton. secretary of
state for India, said, in a speech at
Acton tonight, that although so far
as the bulk of the opposition was con-
cerned the voice of factions had been
hushed, yet the squeak of treason had
been heard in the house of commons.
He was glad TO have heard it, because
it brought home to all reasonable radi-
Gals what was the true meaning of
home rule with an irreconcilable rebel
like Michael Davitt. Home rule, he
said, had disappeared from the pro-
gramme of any reasonable, practical
political party
Referring to the war, Lord Hamilton
said he could surely predict that when
it was over the English government
would see to 1t that there was no pos
sibility of a repetition of the present
condition of things.
The Duke of Westminster said in
speech at Chester today that Great
Britain was not fighting for the ac-
quisition of territory, but for that lib
erty and freedom which always fol-
lowed the British flag. The English
people, he declared, could afford to
smile at the unfriendliness of the press
Of 4 neighboring nation. These people
seemed to have lost all sense of honor
and justice, and nothing else could be
expected from them.

RUMORS OF JOUBERT'S DEATH
A Circumstance Showing Him to
Have Been Alive Since the Date

Beers

An armored train having on board half
a company of Durham fusileers. steam
ed to Cheveley early this morning. On
its return it was shelled by the artil-
lery of the Beers placed in four posi-
tions. Two trucks in front of the en-
gine left the rails, topping over. While
the train was thus helpless the Dur
bans and Dublins faced the Beers in
skirmishing order and the Beers poured
shot and shell into the crippled train.
The Natal Mercury describing the
engagement says the enemy ap-
parently opened fire with Maxim and
two nine-pounders, getting the range
accurately. The fire was so severe
that telegraph wires and poles were
destroyed. Their guns were posted on
a kopje covered with brushwood and
their sharpshooters were hidden be-
hind boulders. The Dublius and VOL
unteers, fighting an unequal battle,
thrice drove the enemy back, but the
fierceness of the rifle and big gun fire
was too much for the brave little party
which was weakened at the outset by
the overturning of the trucks, hurting
several. Lieutenant ChurchiFs jrav-
cry and coolness were magnificent.
Encouraged by him, all worked like
heroes in clearing the line 20 enable

IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.


London, Nov. 16-The most startling
news from the seat of war today is the
report of the death of General Piet
Joubert, commander-in-chief of the
Boer forces. Though the report comes
from many different sources, it OBJ
viousIy lacks confirmation. At the
same time, many people believe the re-
port to be well founded, as the gen.
erals death is said to have occurred
November 9, when the Boer rillemen
were understood to be within 1909
yards of Ladysmith.
As a severe fight between the British
and Beers the same day has been re-
ported, it is regarded in some quar-
ters as quite probable that General
Joubert. always noted for his personal
courage and coolness, may have
dangerously exposed himself in a per-
sonaI reconnaissance of the British pO-
sition.
The death of Joubert would
be likely to lead to the adop-
tion by the Beers of bo.der and
more active tactics. as it is well known
that General Joubert was a cautious
and conservative commander and had
considerable difficulty in restraining his
hot-headed followers.

DIR. Brisloe complied. After waiting
for two hours another Boer came and
informed DR.. Brisloe that as General
Joubert was very far away no answer
to the request could be furnished until
tomorrow morning. The Boer said that
if DR.. Brisloe would then return with
a white flag he could count upon a
reply from General Joubert.
