Washington, Nov. 6.-The war de-

cablegram:
Manila.-Wheaton's expedition, $500
strong, on the transports Sheridan and
Aztec and two coasting steamers, con-
voyed by three war vessels, left for
Longayen gulf this morning. MacAr-

enemy at different points. O'Brien,
with a battalion of the Seventeenth in
fantry, two troops of the Fourth cav
airy and Slaven's scouts, moving on the
road from Balulut east OF Angeles, en-
countered and drove the enemy in the
direction of Magaland. The enemy left
forty-nine dead on the field. OBrien
captured twenty-eight prisoners. Col

THIS MORNINGS NEWS.

London, Nov. I. 4:3O p. m.-This
mornings news carries public knowl-
edge with respect to the hostilities in
South Africa very little further than
the evacuation of Cnlenso and Storm
berg. These movements, taken together
with the admiralty announcement that
the public must not be disappointed
should the transports not reach their
destination on the dates indicated in
the published lists, may indicate some
change of plan necessitated by the bad
position of affairs in Natal. 1t was
expected that the army corps would
land near Cape Town for an invasion
of the Transvaal through the Orange
Free State, but the landing may be
diverted to Durham, Natal, whittier it
is fully expected Lieutenant General
Sir Butler will go within a week to in
vestigate the situation for himself.

The Story Of The Capture Of
LadySmith DiSprOYed.
TOWN CLOSELY HBMMED In
nsny Rumors Both Favorable and
UnfavorsbIe TO England Are
Shown 10 Be without Founds-
tIon-The Information of the
war Office Summed Up Really
Amounts o Nothing.

London, Nov 6.-Oficials of the Brit
ish war office said they had no further
news regarding the military situation
in Natal. They could not say whether
the railroad to Ladysmith was intact,
but they admitted that Ladysmith is
now completely surrounded.
An immense weight was lifted from
the public mind by brief official dis
patch published this morning by which
the continental stories of disaster at
Ladysmith were proved to be false, al
though the dispatch itself revived the
anxiety of the more timid in another
direction, as it indicated that General
White. instead of sitting quietly and
acting only on the defensive, as 1t s
held in many quarters he ought to do,
persists in making sorties and risking
another Nicholson's Mex disaster. Cen
orally. however. the cheering tone Of
the dispatch. showing that there is no
anxiety at Ladysmith as regards the
ability of the beleagured garrison to
hold it's own. has had an excellent eff
feet on the country.
From the fact that General White is
able to take the offensive and shell a
Boer camp it seems that Ladysmith is
not so closely besieged as was supposed.
Not much Importance, however, is at
tached to the shelling of the Boer laager
nc tho u-or oHica hoe no copfrpoo tion

ers' camp at Besters has been captured.
Were this true 1t might have consider
able effect on the future Of the Orange
Free Stale. whick is ret. SO directly
concerned in the conflict as the Trans
vaal. The movement of the Beers into
Cape Colony is beginning to awaken
British fear that they have greatly un-
derestimated the forces they will have
TO meet and that even General Buffers
task may not be so easy as anticipated.
The war office announced at midnight
that no dispatches had been received
beyond those already made public and
that nothing further would be issued
before noon tomorrow. Thus not a
solitary official item of news has been
posted for nearly twenty-four hours.
This has given rise to a crop of rumors
that Ladysmiths ammunition is ex-
hausted, that Sir George Stewart White
is mortally wounded; that both facts
are being concealed and that other un-
lucky happenings have taken place.
For all of these reports there is abso-
lutely no foundation,

GERMANY TOTRAHE SAMOA
Negotiations Pending with England
TO Exchange Territory.

a dispatch from Berlin says: Regard
ing the Vossische Zeitung's statement
that Great Britain has offered Germany
the Gilbert Islands and the British por-
ton of the Solomon Islands in return
for remuneration of Germany's claims
in Samoa, the foreign Office here does
not deny that there is some foundation
for the report. Although the statement
is not altogether accurate, the foreign
office confirms the report that negotia-
tions are proceeding in regard to Sa-
moa, and adds:
1T is practically admitted that it is
desirable that Samoa should be con-
trolled by one power, in preference to
the tripartite arrangement which has
given rise to such difficulties. But it
remains to be seen what arrangements
can be made. The negotiations are not
yet definitely concluded.

The Size of Salmon,

How long salmon live is difficult to
ascertain, as the rivers of Great Brit
ain are so closely fished that very few
are likely to attain any great age or
size over twenty pounds. In Norway,
where there is not such close fishing,
salmon are caught weighing over fifty
pounds, proving they must have made
many annual trips to the sea. 1t has
been proved by long-continued, careful
markings that the grilse and salmon
never mistake their own river, or that
branch of it in which they are hatch
ed; this shows remarkable instinct in
this fish, as many rivers are long and
have so many feeders. Though the
salmon deposits so many thousands Of
ova, millions of ova and fry are de.
stroyed; it is estimated that not one in
a thousand reaches maturity. Their
natural and gormandizing enemies the
trout the little bird called the water
ouzel, and the merganser, Or fish
duck, all of which consume daily mil
lions of ova and fry. 1t is, therefore,
necessary to destroy these murderers
of the salmon by every possible means
in order to keep the rivers well stock
ed with salmon for sport and for fish
cry interests. Unless these voracious
pests are religiously destroyed very
large percentage of the annual cost
of artificial propagation of salmon IS
entirely wasted.

The CrocOdile's Eggs.

The crocodile lays a large number
of eggs, which are remarkably small
for so large a reptile, being just a
shade larger than those of the do
nestle duck. Its nest is a huge mound
Of long grass, leaves, reeds, flags and
a kind of broad-leafed grass, built to
the height of four or five feet, with a
circumference of from thirty to forty
feet, and always near water. Tie
northern crocodile lays its eggs in
January or February. Neither parent
does any sitting. The eggs are depos-
tied TO the number of forty or fifty
near the top Of the mound, which
looks Just like an ordinary haycock.
The rain and the hot sun create a
great heat in the mound, which hatch
es the eggs.

For an instant the woman thought
that she caught glimpse Of feeling in

denly called to join the great majority

He had evidently not left the office

the average farmer to make, and for a
small dairy simpler style gives salts
faction. 1t consists in making a long
and large rolling pin, putting an iron
pin in one end, inserting this in hole
at one end of the frame considerably
larger than the pin, taking hold of the
handle at the other end and using it
as both lever and rolling pin, as in the
second picture. The roller can be
round or six or eightsided, and it is
preferred to have it diminish in size
toward the end which is furthest from
the handle.

For Working Butter.

The correct method of working but
ter is by pressure precisely the same
as pie crust is rolled with rolling pin.
Fold it over and roll again, and repeat
until done. The reason this is not
practicable in hand working of butter
is that more pressure is required with
butter than can be done by the unaided
hand. But one of the very best styles
of butter workers, known as the roller
butter maker, is exactly on this prin-
ciple, the roller being on sliding
frame which is pushed back and forth
over the butter, the handles being ar
ranged to give leverage, as shown in
the first picture. This style, says the

bottle. Shake the bottle we'll before
applying the polish. Pour half a tea
spoonful OH mop or pad of old soft

ing up the grain. Polish with an Old
silk handkerchief. The result will
compensate for the tedious and care
ful labor necessary.

Where salt pork or bacon must be
depended upon for meat supply, it is
worth knowing that to parboil the
slices in water in which turnips have
been or are boiling gives to the meat a
favor much liked, and a browning
quality very pleasing to the eye. AL
ways have the pan hot before laying
the slices on to fry. They require
watching, as the meat burns quickly
after thus parboiling. Soaking in but
termilk for two or three hours is an
other way of sweetening pork or bacon
which is to be fried.
