upon President Kruger that, in the
view of this government, the usagcs of
all civilized nations sanction the min

must further insist upon performing
the sacred duties imposed by all con-

BATTLE OF BELMONT.

London. Nov. %, > a. m.-Thus far
the special dispatches describing the
battle of Belmont bear the stereotyped
character. proving that the hand of the
censor has been at work upon them.
They are too incoherent to enable the
reader to form an accurate idea of the
event or to place a proper estimate
upon the value of the victory. All the
accounts agree respecting the splendid
fighting qualities exhibited on both
sides. General Whites dispatch of
Wednesday effectually disposed of all
rumors of another sortie from Lady
smith and of the defeat of the Beers.
The situation in Natal remains un-
changed, the sortie from Estcourt to
Willow Grange having little effect. The
position of Mafeking is beginning to be
regarded with anxiety in view of the
impossibility of Lord Methuen being
able to relieve the town for some time
to come.

NEWS BY RUNNER.

Mooi River, Natal, Nov. 24.-The
Beers only sent an occasional shell into
the British camp this morning. The
range of the British guns is not sufi-
cient for them to be effective. An Off
cial native runner corroborates the re-
port that heavy firing has occurred
northward. The runner. who is from
Estcourt, says he was captured by the
Beers, who infest the heights to the
nOrthward. He adds that they searched
him but failed to discover his dis
patches. The Beers are in strong force
under the cover of a hill on which are
two guns. When the British opened
fire the runner escaped in the confu-
sion. The same runner was at Lady
smith last week. He reiterates that
heavy firing occurred there. The Beers
he claims made several attempts to
capture the British camp, but were re-
pulsed with heavy loss.

converted into what the factories term
reclaimed rubber" or rubber shoddy.
It is used for a variety of purposes.
The better grades are used in the
manufacture of rubber shoppers and the
cheaper grades of bicycle and carriage
tires. The residue is used chiefly in
steam packings, for which it is as well
fitted as the new and much more eS-
pensive article. 1t is estimated that
during the present month more than

MUCH WORK FOR CONGRESS

system of government in some partic-
ulars, at any rate to Porto Rico and
Hawaii. The former island at the
present time, he asserts, is worse off
commercially than it was under Span
ish rule. It has lost its trade connec-
tions with Spain, and has gained no
new trade connection with the United
States so that it is isolated. 1t seems
to have been stricken by a business
blight. There is no prospect of relief
until congress takes hold Of the matter
and establishes new trade relations.
No time should be lost, Mr.. Lodge
believes, in extending our currency
system and our tariff laws to the is
land. The moment that is done busi-
ness will recover. There should be no
restrictions in trade with Porto Rico,
any more than with Alaska. Freedom
of commerce will be mutually bene-
fetal. Tobacco and sugar are the two
principal products to be considered.
AS for tobacco. manufacturers of

no fear of competition at the present
time, for there are no manufactures
to speak of in Porto Rico.

evidence of our successful administra-
tion of its affairs, he says. The cur
rency of Porto Rico also calls for i'm
mediate attention, Mr.. Lodge declares.
1t should be brought into close har-
mony with ours, he thinks, but the
most important demand is for the re-
vision OF the judicial system of the
island. The courts need a thorough
overhauling. They must be raised to
the American standard. Ancient abuses
must be Topped off. 1t is not neces-
sary or desirable to establish at once
a complete permanent system of gov
ernment in Porto Rico. In that we
ought to go slow and advance only as
experience shows the way, but the
credit of the United States demands
a certain measure of change. 1t would
be well to grant self-government to
municipalities, but it is not necessary
or wise to establish a territorial form
of government for the whole island. 1t
can be handled to advantage some
thing as Alaska has been managed.

RObler, under secretary for foreign af
fairs, and Mr.. Desouso, secretary of the

Winston Churchill today at the model
school, where he is confined with the
captured officers. Beyond a slighg bull
let wound in the right hand, he scented
well, although naturally chafing under
enforced idleness. In the course of the
interview Mr.. Churchill said: The
Beers have treated us with much kind
ness. This was the case from the out
set. They praised our defense of the
armored train and expressed surprise
that the locomotive was saved from
pected under their artillery fire. We
were then marched through a pouring
rain to ColensO. proceeding next morn
ing to the Boer camp near Ladysmith
finally arriving here on November 1S."
When asked regarding his general
impressions, he said he had had many
discussions with the Beers as to the
rights of the war and had been much
impressed by a number who could
speak English. He had found that
most of them regretted the conflict, as
serting that it had arisen as a result
of misrepresentation. So far as he
could learn. however. the spirit of the
burghers in the field, despite their pri-
vatiOns, was most determined and
there was no chance of an early peace.
II fear" said Mr.. Churchill, that the
struggle will be bloody and pro-
tracted."
