BATTLE OF WILLOW GRANGE.
Fighting Was Dimcuit But British
Were Successful.

London. Nov "a special dispatch
from Estcourt, dated Thursday, Nov. 90
and describing the engagement at Willow
Grange. says:
Gen. Hildyard's plans were to attack
Beacon hill and the tin beyond with the
bayonet. Both were occupied by the
Beers in force, with entranchments and
with four guns in position ON Beacon hill,
which is about $50 feet high. column
under the command of Gen. Hildyard
marched five miles over undulating ground
and then began a stern work of climbing
the hight A heavy naval gun and bat

sheer strength and with the greatest diff

"The Beers retired on the off side of
Beacon hill, while the British were climb
ing the near side. At this moment ter
rife thunderstorm burst, continuing for
hours. AT 6 o'clock the weather cleared,
and few artillery and rife exchanges
closed the days operations, darkness fall
ing and the prospect being very dismal
The heavy rain was renewed; but when
the storm had spent itself the British
march was resumed, until, after several
hours of dangerous and tedious work,
climbing the hills and crossing swollen riv-
ulets the advanced pickets of the Beers
were reached in the small hours of the
morning
"The West Yorkshires were moving
stealthily along and were within bayonet
striking distance, when a nervous private
fired his rife. This warned the Beers and
they fed. The Yorkshires charged as best
they could, clearing the Beers from the
final position just at daybreak, with three
ringing cheers.
THE Beers ralied and attempted to ride
the British down; but when the bugle
sounded the charge and the British res
ponded with cheers, the enemy fed and the
position was won. The Beers left heaps
of guns. ammunition. rifles and blankets,

''The object of the reconnaissance, which
was to prevent the enemy taking up GER

REPUBLICANS ARE SURE OF 1T.
They Believe Taylor VIII BE Next
Governor of Kentucky.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 26.-Sunday
brought lull in the political situation to
all outward appearances.
There were no significant Developments
from Goebel headquarters, though Goe.
bel and his managers remained in confer
ence during the day.
There is a general impression outside
that some important move is to be made
by the Goebel side early this week, and it
is generally supposed that a mandatory
injunction suit to prevent the State Elec-
tion Board from counting the vote of JEFF
ferson. Knox and Johnson counties, will
be part of ii, though this is not confirmed
by anyone in authority
1t IS doubtful if Gov. Bradley would rec
ognize Goebel as Governor if given a Ger.
tidcate of election by the State Election
Board, unless its action was in obedience
TO ruling of the court. In that event it
is believed he would resist no further, but
would advise Taylor to contest before the
Legislature.
Neither Bradley, Taylor, nor any of the
Republican leaders, however, believe that
the Court of Appeals in the face of its de-
cision In the Nelson county case yester-
day, will grant an INDUCTION and are to-
day more confident than ever that the
State Election Board will give Taylor
certificate of election.
In Taylor circles ii is claimed that two
of the three state commissioners, Ellis
and Pryor are sure to vote to stand by
the vote in every county as it appears on
the face of the returns.

But story About the Maine Has
Aroused Much Interest.

But story About the Maine Has
Aroused Much Interest.
Washington, Nov. 26.--some interest was
created In official circles here to-day, par
ticularly among naval officers by the pub
licaeon OF the results of what purported
to be secret investigation regarding the
destruction OF the battleship Maine in Ha-
vana hartor, which The story said was
blown up by tie gun cotton torpedoes
planted in the bay for that purpose.
Dnlgent inquiry, however, fails to show
that any official investigation has been
made at the direction of the authorities
here, although il is suggested that the Of
hcials at Havana have discretionary
powers to make an investigation should
they see nj, and that II is just barely pos-
sible that as a result of such action some
additional information bearing on the subs
ject has been secured.
Capt. Lucen Young Is the port officer az
Havana, and II is possible said one official
tonight that he may have dug up the in
formation printed to-day
Secretary Long OF the navy was very
much interested in the story, but said he
had no information on the subject.

WILL FAVOR ITS PASSAGE.
TEMPERANCE COMMITTEE ON THE
PROHIBITION BILL.

VIII Meet TO Consider the Measure
TO-dny--The Committee Is Favora-
BILE TO the Measure-Thirteen Sem
ntors Are known 20 Favor the
Bill and Twenty Will Oppose IL.
The Indications Are That the Sem
nte VIII Not Pass 1t.
Atlanta, Nov. 26-The Committee on
Temperance Of the state Senate is expect
ed to meet tomorrow for the purpose of
considering the Wllingham state prohl-
bition bill
The measure has passed the House, and
the Senate has listened to It's first read-
ing.
The Committee on Temperance will not
report on the bill until Wednesday but
there seems to be enough accurate lnfor-
nation afoat among the members of the
Legislature tonight to warrant the ass
sertion that the committee will reconi-
mend that the measure pass the Senate.
The upper house Is disposed to meet the
issue squarely, and it Is expected thats
with an absence of filibusterlng, a vote
will be reached on the bill Thursday.
It's passage by the Senate Is altogether
problematic, with chances favoring fall
ute. The names OF thirteen senator's
pledged TO support the bin are given In
one of the many petitions being circulat-
ed In an effort to send the measure
through the upper house, while twenty
are known to oppose It.
Considering these figures as correct, and
they are given by a senator who Is op-
posed to the passage of the BILL only ten
votes remain in doubt. and in order for
the measure to get the required majority
1t win be necessary for every one of these
doubtful Senators to fall into the prohi-
bition line.
Even then, It is said. the difficulty of get-
ting the bare majority who favor the bill
TO the capitol will arise.
Petitions are being prepared in every
part OF the state by friends of prohibition
containing the names of hundreds of the
constituents OF senator's, urging them to
stand for prohibition when the Wllllngham
bill goes on its passage.

this, no difference Is made between men
coming from the Southern and Northern
branches of the church. Those OF the lat
ter organization are more numerous. Rev.
William Writ Kirk, chairman Of the EN-
ecutive Committee said of the congress-:
ut is simply gathering of representa-

to the welfare of the church and it's mem
bers. If we can get new light on ques-

WILL WEAKEN BRITISH ARMY.
JOubert Writes That the Beers Are
Ready for Everything.

Joubert Writes That the Beers Are
Ready for Everything.
Berlin. Nov. 26.-The Deutsche Zeitung
publishes a letter, purporting to come
from Gen. Joubert, and dated at Lady
smith, Oct. 27, in which the writer says:
even If we do not succeed in prevent
ing the concentration of Gen. Buffers
troops, the British army will be weaken
ed from natural causes to such an extent
that not more than 35,0 900 efficient troops.
or 1000 at the outside, can take the field.
The others must be employed to protect
communication. In this connection II is
to be borne in mind that not only Natal,
but Cape Colony, with base Of opera
tions covering ass miles, must be consid-
cred.
"Our bases of supplies are az home and
organized on the relay system In three di-
rections. To protect these does not re-
uuire 500 men. IL one base should be Sc
curely threate the supplies will be de-
stroyed war of Defense of which one
need not think for a considerable time
would present far greater advantages than
an offensive war We are at home in the
highlands of the Transvaa and the Or
ange Free State. The British win 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 a guerilla war, which
the British win not be able TO endure. AL
ready we have $1,000 men in the field so
we do not need to calculate upon rising
of the Beers in Cape Colony and Natal.
Nevertheless, If the British stir up the ma
tives and employ them to fight US, a ris-
ing of the whole OF Afrikanderdom is GER
tain.
