This letter was written as fast as
the pen could traverse the paper.
When It was sealed and stamped. the
writer paused. He had very little
doubt that. with the influence he pos
sessed. he could compel Daniel Bran
don. Miss Lilbourne's uncle. to dis
gorge at least what remained OF poor
Marguerite's fortune. Bat at what
costf He dropped his head between
his hands and thought long and des-
perately. The money could not pos
sibly be restored without his name ap-
pearing. He would have the bitter hu-
initiation Of confessing that l, was he
who had deprived Marguerite OF her
liberty. and that his sole motive had
been bribe. He would have to make
restitution and then have the marriage
set aside on the plea OF the brides
having been UNIT to enter into any
contract ct the time. His cheeks
burned with digrace at the thought.
Could he bear the disgrace Of Il?
Worst Of all. could he bear Marguer-

Uniontown. Pa. Oct. 13.-Admiral
Sampson, In the speech he made at
Morgnntown during the reception to
Captain Chadwick, created n sensation
and contributed n most interesting
chapter to the unwritten history OF the
Santiago campaign. In part he said,
verbatim:
General Shafter, commanding the
troops on shore. not being by educa-
tion capable OF understanding the re-
suits of the battle. probably owing to
the fact that his friends were closed
up In that harbor. Spaniards seeming
like friends after they had been
penned up, felt depressed and he called
on me tn assist him or take part in en-
tcring the harbor of Santiago. was
very unwell and requested Captain
Chadwick to go to General Shafter. us
he was unable to come to us. and ex-
press to him the situation as we looked
Mt It, He promptly explained that to
him. and showed general Shafter that
his worst enemy had been destroyed.
up to that time General Shafter had
been attempting to Impress upon the
Spanish general that they were about
equally divided and that the chances
on both sides were about equal. Gen.
suade the Spanish general that he was
bound to be beaten. Captain Chad
wick took this view and urged that the
Spanish general should be impressed
with II.
General Shaftcr said: If you will
write letter to the Spanish general
explaining your views OF the matter,
! will willingly sign II. and we Will see
what effect II Will have ON the Spanish
commander
''Thereupon Captain Chadwick sat
down and wrote the letter which will
now read TO you. tHere he read the
letter.) General Shafter signed the
letter. without change. and sent It to
the Spanish general and hostilities
ceased"
This version OF Admiral Sampson
differs from what was published ut the
time. when General Shafter was rep
resented as urging upon General Tornl
the futility OF holding out. II intimnt-
es that General Shafter did not know
the Spanish were licked.

WITH Prospeot Of Taking Thorn.
London, Oct. 13.--The Trnnsvaal re.
public has officially declared war on
Great Britain, and strong forces ara
marching through Laing's Mex In
rushing order. The burghers Of the
Orange Free State are pouring over
the border along the line Of the rnil-
way, and are aiming south toward
Ladysmith. The Beers have already
seized Newcastle and are advancing
on Ladysmith from the north.
This looks like an attempt to incloee
the town between two lines.
The British hnve little hope OF sue
cessfully defending either border
against the overwhelming force OF the
invaders. Baden-Powell has only coo
men ut Mafeking, ngainst 10000
Beers. Sir George White has 12,OOO
men scattered through Natal. Glen
coe Junction Is his most advanced
point, but the main fight will be made
at Ladysmith.
Fighting is probably going on at the
present time.
A Boer attack on Kimberley is ex-
pected at once. The town Is strongly
defended and Is fortified by every
means possible. Cape Town Is crowd
ed with refugees. All hope that the
troops on the border can check the
Boer invasion until General Buffers
army corps arrives from England.
The Cape Parliament closed yester-
day without referring to the war
There is great relief that the long
period of suspense Is ended; the pop
ulnce are exuberant and thronging the
streets. Schreincr's Cabinet main

Cape Town, Oct. 12.-President
Steyn Of the Orange Free State has
