The United States commission, of fish
and fisheries has issued some interest
ing notes on the foreign fishery trade
and the local fisheries of Porto Rico,
which, are of interest as indicating the
lack Of enterprise on the part Of the ma
tives in procuring this important food
supply from their own waters. There
is good reason to believe that the Porto
Rican fisheries will prove to be Of con-
siderable value when American methods
have been introduced. A great variety
of edible fish is found both in the salt
and fresh waters of Porto Rico, yet lit
tie attention is paid to their capture
and none whatever to their cure. Only
those living near the seacoast or some
of, the rivers ever have any fresh fish,
and then only at high prices. The peo-
pie depend for, their fish food upon
dried, picked and canned fish, which
in 1897 were imported mostly from
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to the
value of So, 1913, 931. Now that the is
land has come into our possession there
should be an opening for an increase Of
trade in this line as we'll as the develop
ment Of the local fisheries. *

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
Disaster at Ladysmith Considered I
Great Humiliation.

Disaster at Ladysmith Considered a
Great initiation.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The' caution note
is struck by all morning papers and the
grim determination is expressed to
carry the war through no matter what
the cost The Daily Chronicle, in re-
ferring to the situation, says:
Gin view of the failure of the cam
paign and the terrible humiliation of
the British army we can only vaguely
hope that Sir George White in the hard
days that lie before him may be able to
hold Ladysmith. Retreat would be an
undertaking which the mind fails to
grasp. If this war is to be war of
vengeance we shall have to wipe out
the disaster before which the memory
of Majuba fades away. It is safe to say
the empire is face to face with re-
pulse comparable only to the surrender
Of Burgoyne to the unbattled farmers
of our American colonies. If the catas-
trophe brings something better than
music hall patriotism we may come to
recognize it as, timely lesson we'll
learned" !
White Will Retire If Possible.
The Daily News says: IF the stores
can be moved General White will be
ordered to retire on Colenso. If the
order is not given it will be because the
movement will be too risky"
The Morning Post calls attention to
Sir George Whites use of the word
"ca pitulation," remarking that it sus-
poets the word was used carelessly. 1t
says:
eve prefer to assume that the col
umn fought until it was cut to pieces
and all the ammunition was gone.
Capltulation is word of shame. Troops
in the field cannot capitulate without
disgrace, and disaster is not necessarily
dishonor."
The Daily News says: eve have tc
face loss. 1t is for the nation to show
that it can bear reverses with dignity.
There is no general desire manifested
on the part of the papers to criticise Si1
George White harshly pending the ar
rival of details,

cial~ Report. ,.> az, =.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The gloom caused
by the British disaster at Ladysmith
was in measure, relieved by the story
giving an account of the heroic stand
made by the decimated battalions un-
til their last cartridges were gone. The
British nerve was momentarily shaken
by General Whites use of the word
"capitulate" in his first telegram; but
now that it is known that the Glouces-
tiers and Fusileers fought against over
whelming odds and upheld the best ira
ditions of the British army, the tension
has been relieved, since there is no
longer ground to dread that the loss of
life and men was accompanied by dis
honor.
The details show the catastrophe in a
brighter aspect The full battalions
were not engaged, and, therefore, the
list of prisoners is materially
reduced, while the disaster now
appears to have been not so
much the consequence of defects in the
by the column was deprived of it's am
munition. Still, it seems incompre-
hensible why the plight of the luckless
column was not known at headquarters,
as the scene Of the surrender was only
about three miles northwest of Lady
smith and Lieutenant Colonel Carlton
must have expected relief to reach him,
or a1ce insfhad of attnmnt In Occunv

traced his steps to Laqysmith when he
suffered the loss Of his ammunition.
The concluding sentence of General
Whites dispatch relative to the safety
of Ladysmith, was received here with
certain reserve, in view Of the fact that
similar official assurances were given
recently at Dundee and Glencoe, and
there is intense anxiety for further
news of the reported renewed attack,
which is not mentioned in the official
dispatches.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The British war
Office has made public dispatch re-
ceived from General White describing
the operations of Monday. 1t was as
follows:
"Ladysmith, Oct. 81, 1850 p. H.
Took out from Ladysmith a brigade Of
mounted troops, two brigade divisions
of the Royal Artillery, the Natal field
battery and two brigades of infantry,
to reconnoiter in force the enemy's
main position to the north, and if the
opportunity should offer to capture the
hill behind Farquhar's farm, which
had on the previous day, been held in
strength by the enemy. In connection
with this advance, a column, consisting
of the Tenth Mountain artillery, four
half companies Of the Gloucesters and
six companies of the Royal Irish Fusi-
Tiers, the whole under Lieutenant
Carlton and Major Adye, deputy assis-
tant adjutant general, was dispatched
at II p. m. on the Goth, to march by
night up Bells Sprult and sieze Nichol-
sons Mex or some position near Nichol-
sons Mex, thus turning the enemy's
right flank. The main advance was
successfully carried out, the objective
of the attack being found evacuated
and an artillery duel between our field
batteries and the enemy's guns of the
position, and Maxims is understood to
have caused heavy loss to the enemy.
The reconnaissance forced the enemy to
fully disclose his position, and, after a
strong counter attack on our right, the
infantry brigade and cavalry had been
repulsed, the troops were slowly with
drawn to camp, pickets being left on
observation. Late in the engagement,

Lam ton of H. NJ. S. Powerful, came
into action and silenced, with their ex-
tremely accurate fire, the enemy's guns
