Receivers and Walks 10 Church.

Danbury, Nov. 26.-Mrs William
Manion. who resides on Maple street,
figured in remarkable accident this
morning, for, Notwithstanding the fact
that she was struck by an engine as
she was crossing the railroad tracks at
Maple street, she apparently escaped un-
harmed instead of being instantly kill

by the few Mortified witnesses. Mrs.
Manion was going to early church SER
vices this morning, and as she was
crossing the railroad tracks she failed
to see an engine that was running light

Washington Nov. 26.-Secretary of
the Navy Long to-day received cable
gram from Admiral Watson informing

watson"
The information contained in Admiral
Watson's dispatch was received by the
president and his advisers with uncon-
cealed satisfaction. The surrender of
the province of Zamboanga Is regarded
as the beginning of the end of the rev.
olution in the Island Of Mindanao, and
it is believed that it will be a hard blow
to those who are still endeavoring to
maintain the insurrection in the Island
Of Luzon.
On the 21st inst Admiral Watson ca
bled the navy department that Com
mander Very had captured the city CT
Zamboanga on the 18th. He was aided
by friendly natives and Moros, and was
holding the town pending the arrival Of
reinforcements from Jolo. On the same
day General Otis Informed the war de-
partment that he had ordered two COM
panies of infantry to be sent to Zambo-
anga from Jolo. Zamboanga is the
principal city in the Island of Minda-
mao, which is the second largest island
of the Philippine group. Advices from
Admiral Watson state that the entire
southern half of the island which COM
prises the province of Zamboanga, has
yielded to the American forces and ac-
ceded to the authority of the United
States.

SUSPENSE IN LONDON.


London, Nov. 27-5 a. m.-No further
news respecting Lord Methuen's ad-
vance has been received, and the alb
sence of official details regarding his
losses creates the greatest suspense, es-
pecially since the publication of the
heavy sacrifices endured by the naval
brigade No alarm, however, is felt as
to his position, despite the evidence that
the Beers intend to contest every foot
of the way. 1t was known that in the
absence of sufficient cavalry he would
he compelled to advance slowly, and he
has a preference for night or early
dawn attacks, which events seem to
have justified, the Beers being decidedly
ayerse to darkness for their operations
The fact that in the Gras Pan action
one British battery fired five hundred
rounds proves the desperate nature Of
the fight. and there is little doubt that
the casualties were heavy. 1t is now
known that no guns were captured in
the Belmont engagement.

What He Thinks an the Subject--At-
tnClSs the Rich.

There was an open discussion on the
subject of poverty at the Church of the
Messiah last evening at which the prin-
cipal speaker was Anthony Carroll The
Rev. Mr. Dickerman announced from
the pulpit that everybody would be al
lowed freedom of speech and that if
anybody had anything to say let him
come right out and make known his
ideas on this great subject. Mr.. Car
roll came right out and said almost
everything against Yale, the board of
education, the city government, the
ministers of the gospel and in fact
most everybody in the city.
Mr.. Carroll said in part: "The sub
ject of poverty is a great one First,
have we any poverty? Certainly we
have poverty. l find certain class of
people in this city who say o, no there
is no poverty but they know there is
poverty, and they wont tell you what
kind it is. They won't tell you the
wages they pay or what wages they
get. These same people will tell you
that the whole reason for poverty ia
the scu1ns and slums of the city. !
am going to talk tonight on poverty
relative to our own city. I claim that
it is not the fault of the scums and
sluns of our city. On the contrary,
claim that the whole fault is oh the So
called cultured, educated and moneyed
set of this city" Mr. Carroll then
switched off this channel and dwelt
few moments on the Bible and gave
his reasons for his belief that there
should be no poverty In the world.
Mr. Carroll returned to the cultured
set soon, however, and again began his
attack. He started with Yale univer-
sity and said they had millions Of dol
lars, paid no taxes and made the poor
of the city settle for all them. He then
selected \the board of education and
said:
What do we find 1t. Simply an impo-
sition on the public. They are voting
away the peoples money year after
year, and what do the New Haven
people get out of it. We have to suffer
at their hands. For forty years we
have had superintendent who We're ac-
ceptable, their systems were approved,
and after they left the city we received
no benefit"
I'VE have spent all the money and
have received nothing. If man wants
to have his child grow UP and teach
school he can't do it, Mr. Carroll at
tackled the preachers, the chamber of
commerce, the Consolidated road and
Others and his remarks caused consd-
erablo comment.

JoUBERT rERY DETERMINED.
VIII Initiate n Guerilla War If 1t Be-
comee Necessary,


Berlin, Nov. 26.-The Deutsche lei
tung publishes letter purporting to
come from General Joubert and dated
at Ladysmith, October 27, in which the
writer says: Even if we don't succeed
in preventing the concentration of Gen
eral Buffers troops the British army
will be weakened from natural causes
to such an extent that not more than
$4,000 efficient troops, or 10000 at the
outside, can take the field. The Others
must be employed to protect communi-
cations In this connection 1T is to be
borne in mind that not only Natal but
Cape Colony, with base of operations
covering 435 miles must be considered.
"Our bases of supplies are at home
and organized on the relay system in
three directions To protect these does
not require 500 men. If one base should
be seriously threatened, the supplies
will be destroyed. A war of defense, of
which we need not think for consid-
cradle time, would present far greater
advantages than an offensive war. We
are at home in the highlands of the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
The British will have to contest every
step under inconceivable difficulties and
must be prepared at every moment to
fight on two or three fronts. Then will
begin q guerilla war; which the Brit
ish will not be able to endure. Already
we have $4,000 men in the field. So we
do not need to calculate upon a rising
of the Beers in Cape Colony and Natal.
if the British stir up the
natives and employ them to fight US,
rising of the whole of Afrikanderdom is
certain"

Franklin Syndicate Officials Not Cnp-
tured d-Crudulity of Americans.

Franklin Syndicate Officials Not Cap.
tured ed-Crudulity of Americans.
New York, Nov. 26.--Willam F. Mil
| Ter and his secretary, Cecil Leslie, of the
Franklin syndicate, the 10 per cent. a
week concern, of 144 Floyd street,
Brooklyn, have not yet been arrested.
The extensive operations of the syndi-
| cate and the exhaustless credulity Of
the American people are shown by the
number of dividend drafts which are
held by the different city banks. These
drafts were sent through the mails by
Miller to subscribers living at distant
points and they deposited them in their
local banks for collection. The local
banks in turn sent them to the New
York banks, which act as their agents
here. These drafts arrived on Satur-
day. Many more are expected this
week. AS the syndicate has assigned
the drafts will be returned to their
dupes.
The National bank alone has about 200
of the drafts sent here by banks in
Allegheny, Pa; Portland, Me-; Elsie,
Ill; Armenia, New York; Grand Lodge,
Mich; Fitchburg, Mass; Wheeling,
w. Va; Urbana, o.; Elizabeth, N. j.,
and two scores of other towns. The
Nassau National bank and the Mechan-
les bank also have Miller drafts sent to
them from out Of town. The police say
they have spread a drag net for Miller
which they also say will bring the miss
ing head of the Franklin syndicate to
prison before long. Although at police
headquarters, it is believed, he is in hid
ing in or close to the city. precautions
have been taken to place him in GUS
tody, no matter where he turns up. The
chiefs Of police of every city in this
country and Canada have been asked
to look out for him, and detailed des-
criptions have been telegraphed to
them.
1t was estimated to-day that fully 50,-
900 policemen and detectives in all Sec
tions Of the country know that Miller
is missing and that he is wanted in this
city. The chiefs of police at all ports
in Great Britain and the continent WIS.,
tied by steamers sailing from New
York have also been cabled to arrest
Miller should he bob up on the other
side. 1t is not believed that Miller got
away on any Of the steamers which
sailed from here Saturday, as each was
carefully watched by Central office men.
Detectives have also been posted at all
of the principal railroad stations, but 1t
is acknowledged that is comparatively
easy for shrewd man to get out of
the city on train even when the po-
lice are looking for him. The Brook
lyn detectives still kept up their search
for Miller to-day and his many dupes
all over the eastern district walked the
streets or collected on the corner and
talked and waited and hoped. Nowhere
was there any denunciation Of the van
ished Miller. His victims were one and
looking forward to the day when they
expect him to reappear Rnd pay all
claims.
