THE Beers HAVE THE ADVANTAGE
The Glencoe victory Not Decisive

London, Oct 81 The dispatches

precision. Three or four main facts.
however, stand out prominently Gen.
Symons fight at Glencoe was not any
thing like the decisive victory at hrst
alleged, and General Iule would PROB

the same fate as the captured Hussars
if he had not retreat ed.
COSTLY VICTORY.
General Whites artillery duel at
Reitfontein was very severe engage
ment in which the life did great ex'
ecution and where success was only
achieved at distressing cost
The bombardment of Mafeking has
commenced, with unknown results and
the Beers have got their Hussars pris-
toner's safely to Pretoria.
Altogether, the campaign is being
pushed by the Beers so strenously and
on such stragetical lines, that the
situation Of the British must, IN all
probability, give them cause for deep
anxiety for some time to come
WITHOUT LEADERS.
It's difficult to see how the concen-
trated force at Ladysmith will be able
TO take the aggressive Immediately.
Apart from the fatigue. regiments like
the Gordon Highlanders and koyaI

officers since the fights, and one hun

OBElGEAN(EI
Negro Murderer and Ravisher
Burned at the Stake at
Newman, Ca.
Ears, Fingers and Other Parts
Of the Body Cut Off as a
Preliminary.
PLEADS PITIFULLY FOR LIFE
Surprising Fortitude Shown
When 1t Came to the Or
deal of Fire.
Before the Body Cools ills Cut
to Pieces and the Bones
Crushed.

NEWMAN, Ga, April 25.-In the pres
ence of nearly 1900 people who sent
aloft yells Of defiance and shouts Of joy,
Sam Hose, a negro, who committed
two of the basest acts known to crime,
was burned at the stake in a spot ~
miles from here during the afternoon.
Before the torch was touched to the
pyre the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions Of his
anatomy. The negro pleaded pitifully
for his life while the mutilation was
going on, but stood the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortitude. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits and
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The mob was com
posed of citizens of Newman, Griffin.
Palmetto and other little towns in the
country round about Newman and OF
all the farmers who had received word
that the burning was to take place.
Hon. w. Y. Atkinson, former gov
ernor of Georgia, met the mob and he
appealed to them to - -.-
Let the Law Take Its Course.
A member of the mob was seen to draw
revolver and level it at Governor At
kinson, but his arm was seized and the
pistol taken from him. The mob was
frantic at delays and would hear to
nothing but burning at the stake.
Before being put to death the negro
stated that he had been paid ST. by
Lige Strickland, negro preacher at
Palmetto, to kill Crawford. ...&
Sam Hose killed Alfred Crawford, a
white farmer, near Palmetto and out
ragged his wife 10 days ago. Since that
time business in that part of the state
has been suspended, the entire popula-
ton turning out in an effort to capture
Hose. -..a
Governor Gambler has been asked to
send troops here to preserve order for
day or two, as it is feared the negroes
will wreak vengeance, many threats to
that effect having been made.
A mob of citizens have captured
Strickland near Palmetto and he is be-
ing tried by lynch court.

A Spanish prisoner recently released
by the Filipinos says that the insur.

munition and 200 pieces of artillery,
some of them the latest pattern of
quick-fring guns.
According to his description of the
situation they have established two
large cartridge factories, and as it is
impossible for the Americans to block
ade such coast as that Of Luzon the
Filipinos can easily procure from abroad
everything they require. 49,.
The informant asserts that Chinese,
European and even American mer-
chants doing business in China are
helping the Filipinos in this way. ~ss

MANILA, April 25.-Four men of the
Nebraska regim ent, including Colonel
Stotzenburg and Lieutenant Sisson, and
three men of the Fourth cavalry We're
killed and A wounded in an engage
ment at Quengua. The Filipinos re.
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed into a
disastrous, though successful fight.
The insurgents had horseshoe trench
about a mile long, encircling a rice
field on the edge of a wood. Major
Bell with 40 cavalrymen encountered a
strong outpost. One of his men was
killed and five were wounded by vol
ley. The Americans retired, carrying
their wounded under fire with great
difficulty, being closely pursued, fog
enabling the enemy to creep close up to
them. ~
Major Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue the bodies of the killed cav
alrymen and battalion Of the Nebras-
ka regiment under Major Ford arrived
and advanced until checked by volley
from the intrenchments. The Amer
leans were 800 yards from the trenches
Behind Rice Burrows for Two Hours.
Seven men were struck, one dying from
his wounds, while waiting for the artil-
lery to come up. Finally the Second
battalion arrived. then Colonel Stetzen-
burg, who had spent the night with his
family at Manila, came upon the field.
The men Immediately recognized him
and raised a cheer.
Colonel Stetzenburg, deciding to
charge as the best way out Of the diff
Guilty, led the attack at the head of his
regiment. He fell with bullet in his
breast, dying instantly, about 200 yards
from the breastworks. Lieutenant Sis
son fell with bullet in his heart. In
the meantime the artillery had arrived
and began Smelling the trenches.
The Filipinos stood until the Ne
braska troops were right on the
trenches and then they bolted to the
second line Of intrenchments "a mile
back. The Nebraskans lost two pr.
Yates killed and many wounded, incluG.
ing two lieutenants
Filipino Loss Comparatively Small.
The Iowa regiment had several
wounded. The Utah regiment had one
officer and three men wounded. Thir-
teen dead Filipinos were found in the
trenches. Their losses were compare
lively small on account Of their safe
shelter. The Americans carried the
second trench with small loss and are
holding the town. ,..-
Colonel Stetzenburg has won a repu-
tation as one of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began.
although, during his first colonelcy, the
volunteers, who were not used to the
rigid discipline Of the regular troops,
thought him a hard officer.
The loss Of the Nebraska regiment in
the campaign is the greatest sustained
by any regiment and the days disaster
has greatly saddened officers and men,

to rescue the Spanish soldiers ant..
priests who are being besieged in a
church there. The soldiers refused to
surrender when ordered to lay down

Dewey said he did not know what had
become of Lieutenant Gilmore and the.
ID men in the launch. They had been
sent to sound the mouth of the river,
but went beyond the bend, out of sight
Of the Yorktown. The supposition is
they were captured or killed by the
Spaniards or the 400 insurgents who
are besieging the Spanish garrison.
