FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

The first steamer with American In
dian corn arrived at Reval, Russia.
The report of a second serious British
defeat at Ladysmith was causing great
alarm in London. 1t was also said that
the Beers had captured Colenzo, south
of Ladysmith, cutting off the retreat of
Gen. White and completing the invest
ment of the northern Natal stronghold.
A dispatch from Manila says that
Senior Pedro Palermo and Senior
Buencamino have resigned from
Aguinaldo's so-called cabinet. They
were opposed to the revolutionists and
in favor of policy of moderation.
Aguinaldo has issued proclamation
announcing that the American con-
gress will meet in December to decide
whether 1.-THE imperialist policy is to
be continued.
Filipinos tried 10 ambush Capt. Bat
sons scouts between Santiago and
Sarogasso, but Capt Batson drove them
from their position, killing and wound
ing several. One American officer,
Lieut.. Boutelle, of Maine. was killed and
a private wounded. Chase's troops
swan the river and surrounded the
garrison at Bongbong, entering the
town.
The failure on the part of the British
war office to make public any definite
news from Ladysmith has left the pub
lie almost convinced that Gen. Whites
army is in desperate situation. The
latest report says that the place has
capitulated, and that 5000 British are
prisoners, majority of them being
wounded
At Antwerp, Belgium, the landing
stage of a ferry boat gave way and IS
persons were drowned
In the northern provinces of Luzon
operations of such broad scope have
been begun by the American troops
that if successful as expected they will
deprive the insurgents of the richest
portion of the country which they now
occupy and may result in the destruc-
ton or capture of Aguinaldo's army.
Word was sent by Maj. Gen. Otis to
the war department that he has force
of 80, 4G2 enlisted men and I, 341 officers.
1t is announced that Gen. Joseph
Wheeler will return from the Philip
pines in time to be present at the open
ing session of congress.
1t has been decided by the United
States, Great Britain and Germany to
dissolve the tripartite agreement by
which these three powers control the
Samoan islands. The United States is
guaranteed the possession of Tutuila
island and Pango Pango.
The official dispatches to the war
office in London tell Of a serious battle
at Ladysmith, and from Brussels and
Lisbon come reports that Ladysmith
has fallen and that Gen. White is a
prisoner of the Beers. These reports
increase the alarm, although not cred
tied in London.
