Yule at Ladysmilh.

LONDON, Oct 26.-The War Office to-day
received the following dispatches from Gen.
White:
"Ladysmith, Oct. 25.-Brigadier General
Yules force has left Dundee with the view
Of concentrating at Ladysmith. To avoid
the risk of life which long march would
have entailed the wounded were left at
Dundee under medical supervision.
Yesterday Sir George White. having
ascertained by a previous reconnaissance
that the Free State forces had moved east
ward from Besters Station. and were at
tempting to gain the road from Ladysmith
to the north. moved out in the direction of
Elandslaagte with the Fifth Lancers, Nine
teenth Hussars. Imperial Lighthouse, Natal
Mounted Volunteers. two field batteries,
one mountain battery and a brigade of in
fantry. The enemy posted a battery two
miles south Of Modderspruit and opened
with infantry fire at long range on the Brit
ish advance guard, consisting of the Nine
teenth Hussars. This was followed by ar
tillery fire directed with considerable ac-
curacy against the British guns.
IAN action lasting six hours ensued at
Rietfontein on Friday. The enemy were
driven from the hills commanding the roads.

The enemy is believed to have suffered Sc
verely. Several Beers own officially that
they lost over 100 killed at Elandslaagte
Three hundred prisoners, wounded and un-
wounded. are in the hands of the British.
including several of high position.

s. schiel. of the German corps. and Com
mandant Pretorius, were both severely
wounded. Many prominent Beers are not
yet accounted for. Philip Kock says the
Beers suffered most from soldiers in little
cIothes-half- and lf-women"-mean-
ing the Gordon Highlanders. and in the
charge OF the Fifth Lancers. The Beers
say also that the two quick-fring guns cap
tured by the Devonshire regiment are those
that were taken from the Jameson raiders.
Colonel Schiel assured a correspondent
racy of the British field guns. which re-
peatedly drove the Transvaal gunners from
their embrasures. The British infantry fire
was also. he said. a complete surprise to the
Beers. who were confident of their ability
to master any infantry attack.
One Elandsladgte correspondent expresses
the belief that the British killed fewer
Beers than might have been expected, con-
sidering the heavy fire OF the British artil-
lery. The bullet of the Boer Mauser, ii ap-
pears, makes clean, healthy wound where
have been necessary at the Ladysmith hos
pitaI.
The Daily Mail publishes the following
dispatches from Pietermaritzburg, dated
Oct. "a: 'The residents of Dundee had

town, where they arrived in a pitiable
plight. having lost everything. The refu-
gees included Harry Escombe. former pre-
mier Of Natal. and the Dundee magistrate.
One of the Dundee people says that all day
Saturday trains were arriving at Command
from the Transvaal border, bringing Beers,
and that there must have been ten thou

tives report the Beers took sixteen wagons
loaded with their dead from the field of the
first battle at Glencoe. Among the killed
were several Natal Dutch. sad feature
of the engagement was that three English
men who were impressed at Krugersdorp
fought with the enemy, one of them being
killed. Two others. greatly affected, said
they were compelled to fight"
With regard to the western frontier It Is
reported that President Steyn recently Wis
tied a force Of 1000 Beers encamped ten
miles south OF Kimberley.
The war is having its natural effect IN

CABLE NECESSARY.
Congress to BE Urged to Pave the
Way for Its Construction.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-In official and
diplomatic quarters attention is being di-
rected to the question of a Pacific cable
linking this country with the Philippines
and points beyond, and ii Is understood This
government and the foreign governments
which would be affected by the cable are
now actively considering the subject. The
officials here are assembling data and pre-
par,ng cable maps with the expectation
that the matter will be brought to the early
attention of Congress. In a general way
the project is for cable of four links,
namely: From San Francisco to Hawaii,
2,160 miles; from Hawaii to Wake island,
2,0A miles; from Wake island to Guam, 1,233
miles: from Guam to Manila, 1850 miles.
These landing points are all within the con-
troll of the United States, our flag having
been raised on Wake island not long ago.
This would connect all the American pos
sessions in the Pacific by line crossing no
foreign territory. Besides this, the plan per-
mits Of an expansion so as to secure two
outlets to Asia and the far East. The first
Of these would be from Manila to the Jap
anse island of Formosa, from which island
Japan has built a line to the Japanese coast
and the mainland of Asia. The second out
let would be from Hawaii south to Tanning
island, at which point the newly projected
British cable from Vancouver TO New Zea-
land crosses.
The foregoing projects would not be pri-
vate enterprises. but government under
taking The government, it is urged in
support of the project, would be not only
free from present high charges and from
the supervision of the foreign companies
now handling the business, but the line be-
ing opened to public and commercial uses
at reasonable rate would afford facilities
for the expanding trade of the Pacific and
thereby yield considerable return to the
government.
Foreign governments which would be af-
fected by this project-notably Russia,
Japan and Great Brtain-are beginning to
show some concern over it, and it is under
stood that the government has been sounded
of late from several foreign quarters to
learn what its plans are.

Saved Only by Incapacity OF the En-
emy's Intelligence Department.

saved Only by 1ncapactty OF the En-
emy's Intelligence Department..
LONDON. Oct. 2.-The official announce
ment of the Joining of General White and
General Yuie 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 General Yule's column from
Q great disaster. 1t seems that on Friday
night Dundee was full of alarms. Heavy
firing was heard at o'clock and again at 4.
A severe thunderstorm soon after stopped
the Boer cannonade. Saturday passed in the
same anxious manner. in momentary ex-
pectation OF an attack. The British finally
evacuated. taking all they could. but leav-
ing plenty behind for the Beers to loot.
The appointments OF the Boer hospital at
Dundee are described as very inadequate
and primitive. The Beers themselves. in the
absence of a nursing staff. get only scant
attention.
1t Is reported that Gen Sir William Penn
Symons died on Wednesday, not on Thurs
day. and was buried at Dundee yesterday.
General Yuie's column had a very ex-
hausting march. chiefly. II is believed, by
night. The reason for 4 night march is not
given. but 1t was probably fear of Boer
surprises. The heavy rains and mist
hampered the march. but were perhaps the
means of saving General YuIe from molesta-
tion. 1t took the column twenty-four hours
TO cover the last sixteen miles.
The only news this morning consists Of
more detailed accounts of the battles al
ready reported. A correspondent who Wis
tied the hospital at Ladysmith. where the
Beers wounded at Elandslaagte are being

badly wounded in the thigh and shoulder,

FRIARS DENOUNCED.
Blamed for All the Trouble in the
Philippine Islands.

MANILA, Oct. 26-The Filipino Congress
has selected commission of native priests
TO proceed TO Rome 10 explain to the Pope
the abuses and iniquities of the friars and
ask for intervention. Aguinaldo, in a recent
speech at Tariac, characterized the friars
intriguers and abusers OF honor, law
and morality, and declared they compassed

ed I'VE can have no consideration for the
friars whose iniquities and abuses are
doubtless unknown at the Vatican, where
only the friar's own misleading reports are
received If this commission has not yet
left Manila the fact is due to the machna-
tions and intrigues of Bishop Nozaleda, of

Congress VIII BE Asked tn Back Up
the presideni.s PoIicN.

NEW YORK, Oct. pa special 10 the
Herald from Washington says: Prompt
declaration by Congress in favor of assert
ing and maintaining complete sovereignty
over the Philippines, at whatever cost, and
in favor of the most liberal kind of self
government when the insurrectlon ends. is
what the President wants. 1t is also what
the Philippine commissioners want. There
is a great deal yet for the President to
do on his message, and for the peace COM
missiorers to do on their report. but this
one important conclusion is certain.
"Your correspondent has excellent author
ity for the statement that the President in
tends to make specific recommendations TO
Congress in favor of holding the Philip
pines permanently and as TO the form OF
civil government to take the place of the
military as soon as the Tagals now In re-
bellion surrender. 1t is authoritatively
stated that there will be no halfway meas
ures suggested for the purpose of sdetrack-
ing the Philippine question until after the
next campaign. The President will face the
issue squarely and give Congress the best
information possible from his commission
ers and other sources TO support the posi-
tion he has assumed.
Although members of the Philippine COM
mission are not talking for publication,
there is no doubt they will lay great stress
in their report upon the desirability of
prompt and emphatic declaration on the
part of Congress, which will convince those
now in rebellion that all branches of the
government are united on the question of
permanent American control in the Philip
pines. Such action, in the opinion Of Ad-
miral Dewey and Professor Schurman. will
be almost effective as guns in ending the
in the Philippines. 1t is only a
question of the specific kind of government
the President will recommend. He will be
governed in Eis decision by the views Of
the Philippine commissioners, whose final
decision will be the result of the delibera-
tions they are here for now. The first meet
ing of the committee will be held in the
State Department tomorrow, but they will
probably not begin the actual prepaf alton
Of their report before next Monday"
