STILL BOMBARDINC.
Not Much Harm Done To The Besieged
Forces.

London, Nov. 1O.-The British war
Office has received from General Butler
the following dispatch: Cape Town,
Nov. 81 received by pigeon post from
General White today the following:
"Bombardment at long range by heavy
guns continues daily. Few casualties
are occurring but no serious harm being
done.
The Beers sent in today number Of
refugees from the Transvaal under a
flag of truce. A flag of truce from Lady
smith met them outside the pickets.
When the party separated Boer guns
fired on it before 1t reached our pickets.
Major Gale of the royal engineers was
wounded today while sending message.
The entrenchments are daily growing
stronger. The supply of provisions Is
ample"
Estcourt, Natal, Nov. 7.-(Delayed).
An armored train which returned
from within half mile of Colenso saw
no signs of the Beers.
London, Nov. TO- Another rumor
emanating from Amsterdam sources
says British regiment was decimated
Friday by the Free Staters. 1t is added
that 600 British soldiers were killed or
wounded and 800 horses captured.
New York, Nov. 1O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: Lord
Salisbury is always intensely practical
on great occasions when the empire is
fairly hanging upon his words. There
was no trace of emotion or excitement in
his speech last night at the Guild hall
banquet, where he and Lord Wolsoley
were received like conquering heroes.
The object of the English warfare, he
asserted, was neither gold nor territory
but equal rights for all men and the is
sue of the conflict would be good gov
ernment in South Africa.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Larger Attendance at Public Schools And
Private Institutions.

The total enrolment has now reached
5s9 in the public schools.
Ere long the stars and stripes will be
seen floating on the breeze at the high
school building. A flag pole has beef
secured.
The popularity of an institution is
shown by its patronage. In the past
the enrolment of the Santa Fe public
schools stood third or fourth in the ter.
ritory. Albuquerque stood first and East
Las Vegas second. Now Albuquerque
stands first and Santa Fe second. Other
educational institutions of Santa Fe
have also higher enrolment than they
had last year. Thus Santa Fe is begin
ming to come to the front as an educa-
tional center
On Hallo'een night when gnomes and
witches are supposed to ride through
the air on broom sticks, some of the
high school pupils played few cute
tricks which were o. iOyed by the teach
ers as well as by the boys, BECAUSE they
were so nice about it.
The teachers are beautifying the walls
of their school rooms with pictures and
various botanical designs. This is very
commendable as it relieves the monotony
and gives bright, cheerful appearance
to the rooms. 1t has also refining in
tluence on the minds OF the pupils.
The pupils of the grammar and high
school departments have procured song
hooks and hereafter the exercises of the
school will open with few lively, cheer
ful songs. Probably nothing has a
greater influence over pupils to arouse
their mental activities than the singing
of few lively songs appropriate to the
occasion. The pupils are planning to
secure an organ ALSO
One year ago movement was inau-
gurated among the school children of
the United States to raise money to
erect monument in Paris to the mem
ory of General Lafayette. The monu-
ment is to be ready for the unvailing at
the opening of the Paris exposition in
1900. The public schools of Santa Fe
sent in their contribution one year ago,
and few days ago received in return a
beautiful engraving. Prof. Wood in
tends to have the engraving framed and
hung up in the school room as re-
minder of the patriotic services of Gen
eral Lafayette in behalf of American in
and as an inspiration to
love and defend the liberties so dearly
bought,

BETTER NAIL SERVICE.
Southern Mail to Be Brought Through
pr0mntlv

Denver, Nov. 10.-Chief Clerk Put
ney, of the railway mail service, says the
people of New Mexico who have been
complaining about the late delivery OF
mails at points along the Santa Fe road,
will have no further cause of complaint.
The delay was due to the fact in making
changes 1t takes about five days to notify
points from which mail Is sent. Com
mencing today mail will arrive on time,
carried In locked pouches, the transfer
of which can readily be made. Mail
clerks can not be put on the trains be-
cause none can be spared.

An Alabama View.

Washington, Nov. 10. 'tBryan's
nomination is inevitable" remarked
Senator Morgan of Alabama, discussing
the effect of Tuesdays elections. Nc
Kinley will surely be the Republican
candidate on a gold standard platform
backed up by the plea of general pros
perity and demand from money rent
ers and beneficiaries of trusts to let we'll
enough alone. II hardly look for
either expansion, Imperialism or trusts
to cut any material figure. There is
good reason to believe the Philippines
will be disposed Of, or practically SO, be-
fore the next national election occurs. 2
