A HOWITZER BRIGADE.
Transports Secured to Hurry 1t to South
Africa.

London, Nov. 5.-Transports have
lust been secured for the Wolwich
ried to the cape. The brigade has TO-
900 rounds of flve-inch lyddte shells
awaiting it. According to the estimates,
a single shell, falling into compact
body will kill 300 men. 1t was demon
strated in the battle of Omdurman,
which destroyed the army of Khalifa
Abdulah, that large numbers of Der
wishes were killed by suffocation, while
hundreds of vultures and eagles fell up
on the battle field from the same
cause.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 5.-The Prince

ond half Richardson tackled him, and
in the fall Reiter cracked one of his
ribs. He will not play in the Carlisle

Princeton's best back, and with him out
of the game the team would suffer a
great loss.

REINFORCEMEN SARRITING.
New south Wales Lamciers Reached
Cape Town ON November 2.

Cape Town, Nov. 2-Delayed in
transmission).--The British transport
Ninevah arrived to-day from England,
bringing the New South Wales Lanciers
from Aldershot. The Lanciers on land
ing were enthusiastically welcomed by
the municipal authorities and the popu-
lace The presence of the Lanciers We're
eagerly seized upon at once as afford
ing the people of Cape Colony of show
ing their gratitude for the help rendered
by sister colony.
The news of the losses at Ladysmith
caused an unmistakable depression, es-
pecially when coupled with the fact that
the Beers invaded the colony almost
simultaneously. The Dutch of the col
ony are showing themselves loyal to the
British government, and so far as has
been ascertaned few of them have join
ed the Beers. The Boer prisoners have
arrived at Simonstown, near Cape
Town, where they are well treated.

Yesterday General French went out

Joubert sent in Major C. S. Kincaid of
the Royal Irish Fusiliers and nine
wounded prisoners. Eight Beers were
sent out in exchange no others being fit
to travel.
Colonel Brocklehurst, with cavalry,

lasted several hours. Our loss was very
small

A special dispatch from Ladysmith,
describing Thursdays fighting says:
THE artillery duel at dawn, in which
the Beers guns were silenced. was in
tended to occupy the Beers and to en-
able Sir George Stewart White to
achieve his purpose-the capture of the
Boer camp behind Bester's Hill. For
this purpose the Lanciers, Hussars, Ma
tai cabineers and Natal border rifles
started under General French at sun
rise and got within striking distance
before the enemy was aware of their
presence A field battery was also sent,
and 1t secured a good position, COM

large one, aagered with army wag-

"Bester's Hill was we'll fortified and
provided with good guns. AT O'Clock

ish quickly sent a forty-two pound shell
into the camp, inf1ictirg terrible loss
and spreading panic among the enemy.
Our cavalry then stormed the position,
the Beers fleeing precipitately, leaving
many killed and wounded, as well as
the whole camp and equipment in the
hands Of the British. This success will
upset the plans of the Orange Free
State commanders and, possibly, will
prevent them giving the British further
trouble from the west"

WILL INTERCEPT AGiUINALDO
IMPORTANT EXPEDITION LEAVES
MANILA FOR THIS PURPOSE,
1t Consists of Fleet of Transports and
GunbOats Whose Destination fs,Sup.
posed to be Dagupan-Movement Con-
templated on Tarlac, the Insurgent
Sfronghold-Object is to Cut or tho
Insurgents from Further Retreat.

Manila, Nov. 5, 8 p. m.-This evening
a fleet of transports and gunboats left
Manila for the most important expe-
dition Of the autumn campaign. It's
destination is supposed to be Dagupan
or some other northern point General
Wheaton commands, with brigade
consisting of the Thirteenth infantry,
the Thirty-third infantry, two guns of
the Fifth artillery and two Gatlings.
| The transports Sheridan, Francisco de
| Reyes and Aztec carry the troops, with
| the gunboat Helena as escort. A dis
patch boat was sent ahead to arrange
a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the other war
ships that are patroling the north coast
of Luzon.
The landing will be made under COW
er Of the fleet. 1t Is assumed here that
the purpose Of the expedition Is to
move down the Dagupan Manila rail-
road toward Tarlac or to prevent Agui-
naldos forces making another base
further narth. Dagupan and Apparri
are the strongholds of the insurgents
in the north and 1t is supposed the
points where most of the f1libustering
parties land.
Since the beginning of hostilities it
has been the unanimous opinion Of mil
itary experts here that Dagupan should
be made a base of operations but ,suffi-
cient troops have heretofore been lack
ing. With Generals Wheaton, MacAr-
thur and Lawton moving upon Tarlac
from three directions, and the moun-
tains hemming in the other side, the in
surgent capital will soon become unten-
able. Aguinaldo may attempt to shift
his headquarters to the rich tobacco
country at the northern end Of the is
land Possibly he may slide around
General Lawton's front to the southern
provinces; but as MacArthur's and
Lawton's troops are spread across the
country from Angeles to Cabanatuan
it will be difficult for the insurgents to
escape.
Should the concerted operations sue
ceed, organized insurrection on large
scale should be at an end early next
spring, although guerilla warfare Is
likely to continue for long time. No
one anticipates that the insurgents will
make many hard battles The problem
Is to move the troops about the coun-
try to maintain transportation and to
hold the territory gained. The moral
effect of the arrival of large American
army is calculated upon to sap Agui-
naldo's strength by desertions and
through the loss of hope among the sup
porters of the revolutionary movement.

Rev. G. B. Stundt came back this week
from his visit to former acquaintance
at Edinburg.
This has always been a flax growing
section of the county and this fall many
OF our farmers are strictly in it with
good yields and big prices. Two things
that as general thing do not &c
together in this country.
A load OF flax recently sold in Lang
don by c. W. Doe. was said by the buyer
to be the best and cIeanest he had
bought this season. The seed was
threshed by the new rig OF Toews, Pen.
ner & Co., and was grown on spring
breaking, the yield averaging II bushels
to the acre.
Among the new corners is a daughter
that arrived at the home OF C. Amoth on
the 18th OF last month; following this
event, day later, or to be more exact
on the 10Th. the family of NJ. Amoth
was also increased by the arrival of q
little girl. These two events with the
addition OF a twenty bushel crop which
the boys have harvested will enable
them to look on the bright side OF life
this winter.
The popular idea that fax spoils the
land and that good crops cannot be
grown after it, did not seem to hold
good this year, the grain proving
equally good where the preceding crop
had been fax. A yield OF % bushels OF
wheat to the acre was threshed on John
Penner's place, where year previous a
good crop OF fax was taken from the
place and the blowing for the wheat not
beng done until this spring.
Threshing is all done in this neighbor-
hood. Machines have had a satisfactory
run. the grain being dry and yielding
well. The crop hardly met expectations
and did not turn out according to the
straw. Many farmers expected 80
bushels to the acre, but % bushels is the
highest record we have heard OF around
here and about Is being the more
general thing. Compared with. last year
the yield is not as good, but the grain is
better sample, wheat in nearly every
instance grading No. 1 Hard.
