his views of the situation.
Father McKinnon said of Gei$ral
Luna, who was killed by Aguinaldo's
orderly while trying to break into the
insurgent leaders quarters: 'He was
the most brilliant man in the insurgent
army. and he was a murderer He
murdered his wife and mother-in-law
in Paris and fled to the Philippines.

Father McKinnon, "who is said to have
applied for bride, is horsethief and
convict and an all-around outcast.
THE only really honest man who
aided in the starting OF the rebellion
was Palermo, who was then news
paper editor in Manila He has re-
pented and is probably back in Manila.
He sent his family there before / left,
and was expected to come himself as
soon as he could get away from the
insurgents.

BRITISH RETREAT.
Insufiiciency of Boer Communications
save British Crushing Defeat.

London, Oct. 2s.--The official an
nouncemcnt of the joining Of Gen.
White and ten. Yule has come as a
great relief, and all the more so in
view of the fact that later dispatches
have shown that only the incapacity of
the intelligence department of the
Beers saved Gen. Yule's column from
great disaster.
II appears that the British evacuated
Dundee during thunder storm lasting
two days, which stopped the Boer can
nonading, taking all they could, but
leaving plenty behind for the Beers to
loot. The appointments of the Beers
hospital at Dundee are described as
very inadequate and primitive The
nursing staff, get only scant attention.
Gen. Yule's column had very ex-
hausting march, chiefly, 1t is believed
by night. The reason of "A night march
is not given, but it was probably tear
OF Boer surprises. The heavy rains
and mist hampered the march, but
were perhaps the means of saving Gen.
Iule from molestation. 1t took the
column twenty-four hours to cover the
last sixteen miles
The official announcement is made of
the death Of General Symons, who was

Feared British Have Been Defeated.

New York, Oct 26.-Special cable
grams from London are printed here
declaring that the British war Office is
deliberately suppressing news of a
crushing British defeat at Glencoe.
These specials also indicate that the
British army is to be Withdrawn from
Natal and placed in position nearer
the coast. The dispatches from General
Sir George White to the war Office re-
ceived and posted in London are not of
an assuring character and seem to fore
shadow British reverses. The fact that
General Yule has had to abandon both
Dundee and Glencoe in view of the dis
patches printed showing the great
victory over the Beers at Elandslaagte
would also, in view of advices received
last night, prepare the way for the an
nouncement of British defeat.

EXCITING SCENE IN COMMONS.


pressed kilograms DAsift Resigns.
London, Oct. 27.-During the debate
on the second reading of the appropri
alton bill in the house of commons
which passed the second reading by a
vote of PA TO 20, James II. DaIziel
liberal member for Kirkcaldy, express
ed the opinion that one OF the greatest
difficulties in arriving at settlement
with President Kruger had been that
rightly or wrongly, the president had
believed Mr.. chamberlain. the British
secretary Of state for the colonies, and
Cecil Rhodes were identical He add
ed that Mr.. Chamberlain had given
grounds for this belief by suppressing
kilograms.
The colonial secretary tartly inter
vened, saying: 81 have never sup
pressed kilograms. / have not got
Them" Mr.. Chamberlain also denied
that he had refused to see Dr. Monta-
que White, the agent of the Trans
vaal, who, the colonial secretary add
ed, bad never applied for an audience.
The speaker, William Court Gully,
ntervened at this juncture, and de-
clared all references to such matters
were out of order.
Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist
member for South Mayo, announced to
the house of commons that he would
resign tomorrow as protest against
the Boer war. Mr.. Davitt denounced
the lingo press, and said the war for
the meanest and most mercenary aims
would be known as the greatest crime
OF the century. He declared that If he
had been offered home rule and an
Irish republic he would not have ac-
cepted them accompanied by the con-
dition that he vote for the war bill.
AS protest he would ask to be re-
lieved from attendance in the house.
He had been in the house for Fl We years
trying to obtain justice for Ireland,
and he left it convinced that mo
cause of justice and right would have
the support of the house unless backed
by force.

ENGLAND WATCHING RUSSIA.
Feared Russia May Extend Her Influence
In China While England is Occupied.

New York, Oct 20. 1.-The sailing Of
the channel squadron for Gibraltar is
regarded by the keenest observers as
an indication that some unexpected
attack upon British interests is posi-
BILE. The magnitude of the prepare
tons of the war, which are out of all
proportion to the requirements of the
military situation, can be adequately
explained on the theory that the gov
eminent suspected that some great
power would be tempted to seize the
opportunity for striking sudden blow
or carrying out deeply cherished
policy.
The quarter from which such an at
tack of this kind may come is un mis-
license to criticise the English policy
In South Africa, in the most acrid way
and rumor that Herat may be occu-
pied, is already in the air. British
commercial interests in Persia are so
large that a Russian seizure of the
commercial position in Western At
aimed directly against free trade. That
seems a more likely menace than the
forcing of the Dardanelles by the Rus
sian Black sea fleet.
That Russia may attempt to extend
her influence in China is also feared.
