A NEW TREATY
Between the United States and
Spain the Subjac of Negotiations
Soon to Be Opened With Madrid.

WASHINGTON, October 29-An I'M
derstanding has been reached by which
it is expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for a new treaty
between the United States and Spain.
This will be the last step toward COM
pletely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries.
The war with Spain swept the old
treaty out Of existence and the only
international agreement now in exist
ence is the peace treaty, which is con-
fined to the events growing out of the
war, has no reference to commerce.
navigation, extradition and other man
fold relations between nations in
times OF peace. The coming negotia-
tons viii be for the purpose of form
ing such a treaty of commerce, amity
and friendship. The present condition
is quite anomalous, as there is no basis
on which persons could be extradited
from one country TO the other, or for
the determination Of any commercial
difference which might arise. Forum
ately there has been no case OCCASION
ing serious differences.
Both sides expect that the new treaty
will be a great improvement on the
old one, which was an Anticipated docu-
ment, dating back to 1895, with many
OF its provisions devoted to the bound
airy between Florida, then a possession
of Spain, and the United States Save
for the Cushing protocol, it has been
impossible to frame a new treaty salts
factory to both sides and it remained
for the war to dispose OF it and thus
open the way for modern treaty.
1t has been thought that the Duke
d'Arcos would conduct these negotia-
tons with the State Department here,
but the minister is rather relieved az
the understanding that the work will
be carried on at Madrid. The United
States minister there, Mr.. Bellamy
Storer. viii act for the United States.

TIE FIGHTING AT DUNDEE.

CAPE TOWN, October 29.-The fol-
lowing official data are made public re-
garding the fighting near Dundee:
"The Boer losses during Fridays en-
gagement at Talani hill are estimated
at 500 in killed and wounded.
Yesterday the divisional staff was
reconstructed. The country was clear
of enemy eastward, but as a big force
was reported closing in on Dundee from
, the north and west. it was considered
advisable to move the British force
across the railway to new position
south of the camp. During the after
noon the infantry moved over and be-
gan entrenching a new position. All
available transport was utilized to carry
stores.
"At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
enemy opened fire on the entrench-
ments and camp from the shoulder of
Impati mountain. with two six-inch
guns, getting fairly accurate aim over
a range of 1000 yards. The soft ground
rendered the percussion fuses useless.
In spite of the falling shells the wagons
were loaded with stores. Lieutenant
Hannah and an artillery sergeant were
killed
During the night of October % a
fresh position was occupied about 1000
yards from the enemy's guns. News
was received at s o'clock Monday morn
ing of the victory at Elandslaagte, and
a division was moved toward Glencoe
Junction for the purpose of cutting of
the retreating enemy should they use
Glencoe pass. Two fugitives were cap
tured.
I'VE moved our guns down the ridge
to the west of Impati mountain and our
artillery exchanged shots with the
enemy. who brought six-inch guns to
bear on cur transports. Rain and mist
coming on, it was deemed advisable to
concentrate on the positions occupied
that morning. The movement was COM

THE ATTACK ON J.ADYSMITH.
BULLETIN.

BULLETIN.
LADYSMITH, October %, 7 p. M
The Beers ar egradually closing around
Ladysmith. They have mounted two
big guns on Tinta Ingoni, 4,500 yards
from the British camp. An attack is
expected
PIETERMARITZBURG, October 20.
1t is officially announced that the
British troops who left Ladysmith On
Friday to meet the enemy returned yes
terday after a slight brush, the Beers
retiring on Elandslaagte
Disquieting rumors are current re-
garding the Umvoti country, but the
official reports say that all is quiet
there.
LONDON, October 30.-The Daily
Mail publishes the following dispatch
from Pietermaritzburg, dated Sunday:
Patrols from Ladysmith report that
there are four large Boer camps within
radius of ten miles, extending in a
semi-circle northeast of the town. Evil
IDENTIFY the enemy is concentrating all
his forces. Commandant General Jou-
bert Is in supreme command. One Boer
lager has Red Cross tent carefully
posted IN a conspicuous p0SltlOn.
"The British had several skirmishes
with the enemy to-day. Railway COM
munication with Ladysmith is still in
tact. At Colonse a couple of Basutos
were detected putting boulders ON the
railway They confessed that they had
done this by order of the Transvaal
authorities.
"A war balloon, very small and so
light that two men can hold and haul
it down with wire strand and which
can ascend three thousand feet is now
in use; the full position of the Boer
guns has been ascertained.
1.-THE heavy and incessant rains have
flooded Tugela river, which will prove
an effectual barrier to any Beers pro-
ceeding southwark The remaining
bridges are strongly guarded"

inadequate to defend the IA kilometerS
of protective works around the city.
The total foce available is placed off,
cially at 1000 infantry and LOON guer-
rilas. The remainder of the forces, il
is explained, were garrisoning the
MORO and the batteries at Socapa and
Punta Gorda, and performing also the
services of carrying water to different
points. patrolling the city, land rem
dering such other services as the inhab-
itants could have rendered had the city
remained loyal"
Referring to garrison stores, the court
says that at the time of the surrender
all that was LEFT of the army was a million
Spanish Mauser cartridges. These would
not have lasted for more than two attacks
on the part of the enemy. The Argentine
Mauser ammunition, of which there was a
considerable supply, could not be utilized
for want Of weapons of that type, nor
could the Remington ammunition. these
weapons being in the hands of the irreg-
ular forces only. The provisions in the
city at the time of the surrender, it is said,
consisted only of rice, salt, oil. coffee, SUI
gar and brandy, and OF these only about
ten days supply remained. There were
over LOO sick in the hospital who had TO
be fed, to say nothing of the soldiers who
spent the day and night in the trenches
after three years OF campaign, during the
last three months OF which they seldom
had meat to eat, and were often reduced
to the rations mentioned above
Great STRESS is laid upon the presence of
the American squadron off the coast. and
the court declares that besides the numer-
zeal superiority of the enemy on land with
seventy pieces of modern artillery and the
support of power of the squadron" no
reinforcements could reach Santiago ex-
cept by sea, and this eventually became a
vain hope from the moment when the
American ships completely closed the har-
Dor entrance
In addition to the decree of the court ex-
onerating the above named defendants,
there are two supplemental DEGREES di-
recting the Captain General of New Cas-
tile to take steps to fix the responsibility
for the fact that there were not sufficient
war materials in the city to provision San
tiago at the time of the outbreak of the
war: and to ascertain to what extent the
administrative chief of the army of Cuba
is responsible for not having complied with
the order of the general in chief of the
same to provision Santiago for four
months.

Last week Thursday morning F. w.
Stolte, his brother d. Stolte and friend,
f. A. w. Field, started for Newport in a
canoe, via Clyde river, starting near the
Essex House. A short distance from the
starting point the canoe was upset by over
overhanging branches, and the three were
swimming for the shore. This incident
caused the loss of pot of beans (pot in
cluded) other provisions soaked, and a
kodak spoiled. Nowise discouraged they
proceeded, and after encountering various
minor mishaps they reached West Charles
ton Thursday night where George Bracket
took them in and dried their clothing.
They made an early start Friday morning
and reached Newport shortly after noon,
and having a great sufficlency of canoe ex-
perience they returned home by team.
Don't say ''canoe" or "beans" to either of
the gentlemen mentioned in this little ad-
venture; such words have no charm for
them.-[Island Pond Herald.
