WHEN SCHLEY WILL SAIL.

Ready About November Il.

Rear Admiral Schley called at the Navy
Department this morning to learn from
Acting Assistant Secretary Allen what
progress was making on the flagship Chi
cago, and about when he might expect his
final sailing orders. The Chicago, he was
told, would probably be ready about No
vember Ii. and the orders would issue
some time in the interim. when it became
certain that the ship will pe ready for sea
on a fixed date. The admiral has just re-
turned from Frederick Nd, and his right
hand is temporarily crippled by the ener-
getic handshaking of his friends Of that
town.
Admiral Schley has written to Mayor
Woodward Of Atlanta, Ga, that he will
accept the invitation to visit that city early
In November if not ordered to sea. II shall
feel much delight" he says, IF am able
to come and truly disappointed If my or
ders to sea shall occur, but with us there
is one rule Of faith and one of life, that
is, duty first"

OPERATIONS IN LUZON.
Young Arrives at San Isidro, Which
VIII BE GarrisOned.

General Otis has made the following brief
report of the advance movement of General
Lawton:
MANILA, October 20, 1899.
''Adjutant General, Washington:
"Lawtons advance under Young is in
San Isidro, where a garrison will be estab-
lished. Considerable resistance was en-
countered yesterday. Casualties: One killed,
three wounded, 22d Infantry. The enemy
suffered considerably. One Spaniard, fif-
teen insurgent soldiers were captured.
Young reports the inhabitants in that Sec
ton of the country mostly friendly.
OTIS"
Recent mail advices from Manila throw
considerable light on the advance of Cen
eral Lawton's force on Tarlac, the insur-
gent capital, the successful movement up
TO San isidro being covered in General OTIS
dispatch to the War Department today.
Before this movement began General Mac
Arthur obtained important information
from a Filipino refuge, to the conditions
III and about Tarlac. This man was Sc
cured by Colonel Smith of the l2Jh Infantry
at Angeles, and was sent on to General
MacArIhurs headquarters. He had spent
much time at Aguinaldos headquarters,
WAS familiar with the lay of the land and
the disposition Of insurgent troops, and the
American officers We're satisfied as TO nIs
truthfUlneSS.
He said Tarlac was occupied by 1900 in
surgent troops, and Agnlnaldo made his
headquarters there. Another 5000 men
were at Bamban, halfway between Cen
eral MacArthurs position and the insur-
gent capital. The apparent purpose of the
insurgents was to keep their force so con-
centrated to be able to beat a hasty re-
treat to the north, through the narrow pass
between Angeles and Tarlac, in case OF a
rapid American advance such as General
Lawton is now making.
LawtonS movement is from the east
however, whereas the insurgent concentra-
ton has been with the expectation that
the next blow would come from the south.
The Filipino refuge stated that the towns
and open country were deserted, except by
the insurgent troops, as there was not suffi-
eient food for the fighting men and the nom
combatants- and the latter Were forced to
Weld everything to the soldiers

KAFFIRS RISE RAPIDLY.
Effect of War News on London stock
Exchange.

LONDON, October 20.-The London man
ager Of the Bank of the South African Re
public made the following statement today
to the Associated Press:
when one considers the average weekly
gold exports from the Transvaal to Eng
land, which you may estimate at f40O, 600,
to say nothing of a considerable amount
that goes weekly to the continent, 1t is i'm
possible to believe that the complete cessa-
ton of such a large amount will not create
some stringency. especially as the only way
to meet the increased British expenditure
in South Africa is to ship out gold.
These conditions are keenly realized by
the larger financial houses, and through
out the week the stock exchange has been
in a state of anxiety regarding the meas
ures the government will adopt to raise the
necessary funds
at is a curious fact that South African
stocks have not slumped. In many cases
they have even risen. This is probably due
to the implicit belief of the average in
vestor in the might of British arms and
to the supposition that the mines will soon
come under British control
The days news from Glencoe caused a
scene of wild enthusiasm on the stock ex-
J change and Kaff1rs rose tremendously.

besides civilians, all going TO Glencoe OF

station master at Elandslaagto, who wired:
L see Beers near the line. What shall l
do?' Ladysmith answered: Let the train
run ahead full speed 1t did so. making
for the north of Elandslaagto. The official
said: The Beers are mastering and firing
to stop the train. They have stopped it.
What shall 1 do; must 1 go?' Yes, go,

ceased, and the line has been blocked
since. Probably the station master es-
capped"
