SCENES AT WAR OFFICE.
Friends of British Soldiers in tn,
Field After News.

LONDON, November 24.-The pathetic
scenes which marked the days following
the engagements between the British and
Beers at Glencoe and Nicholsons Mex
found their counterpart at the war office
here today. Long before the doors of the
war office We're opened the troubled and
anxious women and men, of all stations in
life, were assembled there, and when the
inquirers were finally admitted their anx-
ious questions showed they feared that
yesterday evenings official bulletin though
black enough, had not recorded the full
story of the British losses at Belmont. Up
to noon the government officials had issued
no further dispatches, and so the nervous
distruSt of the public remains unalieviated
Message Causes Apprehension.
Gen. Methuen's message leaves a great
deal to be explained. According to all
previous facts obtainable as to the relative
strength of the forces, the Beers must
have been in a decided minority, yet the
total British loss, 220 killed, wounded and
missing, proves the effectiveness of their
resistance and amply justifies Gen. Meth
uenS tribute to the courage and skill with
which the burghers fought. The fact that
no guns and only forty prisoners were cap
tured by the victors, and that the Beers
carried off their dead and wounded, shows
that they retired in an orderly manner.
without precipitation or confusion, and
that, probably, the Boer casualties were
not numerous, owing to the strength of
their position. The destruction of the Boer
ammunition captured is taken as an indi-
cation that Gen Methuen occupied the cap
tured position at Belmont and destroyed
the Boer supplies, IN order not to hamper
the immediate advance of his flying col
umn, which Is marching in the lightest
order.
Road Open to Boer Position.
The road is now presumably open to the
Boer position on the Modder river, where
the Guards, who, apparently, bore the
brunt of yesterdays fighting, will, in all
probability, have another chance to get at
close quarters with the bayonet
The governor of Natal has forwarded the
following dispatch to the colonial office:
'Tugela Drift was attacked during the
morning of Thursday, November 23 by $50
to 800 Beers, who are believed to have ad-
vanced from Helpmakaar and Umvoti The
Mounted Rifles, under Maj Leuchars. and
a small body of Natal police, totalIing 40
men. posted south of the river bank, forced

dent of the Filipino congress, presented
himself to Gen. Macarthur today and for
mally renounced all further connection
with the insurrection. He is one of t-n in

Late State Law.
''In 1893. however, the state Legislature
took up the adoption of the laws of the
territory which had been codifed by a
commission, and among these laws was the
discarded part of the territorial law in re-
lation to unlawful cohabitation, and that
law with the rest Of the code, was passed,
so that there is now upon the statute books
this law which defines the offense TO be a
misdemeanor. No prosecutions, however
were brought Until this summer and In a
number of cases men have pleaded guilty
and light fines have been assessed"
In this connection it may be stated that
Mr. Roberts was recently charged in the
warrant with misdemeanor under the
statute above referred to. He was in the
east at the time, and upon learning the
fact telegraphed his attorney to accept
service of the warrant as If he were pres
ent and enter plea of not guilty. 1t is
said, however, that the warrant was not

Qualification at the Department.

The dispatch Of Gen. Otis concerning the
situation in Luzon was received at the War
Department with great satisfaction. The
impression prevails that the end is no.
far distant. Secretary Root took the dis
patch over TO the White House to be read
at the cabinet meeting. II AguinaIdo Is in
the western provinces, as Gen. Otis sup
poses, II is believed that he will be cap
tUred. He can escape only by way of the
sea but he might attempt TO cross the
railroad between Manila and Dagupen.
which is entirely In the hands OF the Amer
lean forces.
The dispatch today corrects the previous
impression that Aguinaldo had gone north
Of Dagupen and was making for the Prov
ince OF locus. There are two provinces of
that name, one in the north and one IN
the south They both lie along the western
coast, the town OF Vigan being about mid
way between them. II was at Vtgan that
Wheaton was ordered TO intercept the fugi-
tive II he attempted to escape TO the north
At one time 1t was supposed that AguinaIdo
would try to escape across the mountains
and reach Bayaongboug. but that theory
was abandoned when 1t became known that
the savage tribes Of the mountains are hos
tile to him, and 1t has been concluded thar
he and his followers would not dare rist
themselves in that region

Of Joseph Wurzer, of Company b, at
San Francisco: The home of the de-
ceased soldier boy is eight miles south
Of Tower City in the Bohemian settle
ment, where he has two married BROTH
ers-Michael and John. He came to the
city in the fall of '9G and was en-
ployed as a coachman for DR.. Vidal for
about six months, and later secured
employment at the Northern Pacific
shops ut wiper. He was a man of
good moral character and a general ia
vorite with all who knew him. He
was Il member Of the Fargo Lodge, No.

surance in that fraternity for $1,000
which the order has kept paid up since
he went to the war.
