MILWAUKEE, Nov. 4.-Maj. Gen. Ar
thur Macarthur, now doing duty in
the war against the Filipinos. and
Brig. Gen. Charles King who was mus
tered out of service in August last,
were Saturday made the recipients of
purchased by a large fund which was
raised by the Milwaukee journal
through the citizens of Milwaukee.
The presentation took place on the

AWAITING GUNS.
General Belief is That is the Rea-
son Ladysmith Has Not
Been Attacked.
REPORTED SURRENDER OF Gen. WHITE.
Gen. Sir Redvers Butler Appears to
Have Ordered Retirement
From Stormberg.
Third Class Cruiser Peloru, Ordered From
Gibraltar to Durban---The Fearless
Goes to the same Point From
Port Said.

LONDON, Nov. 5-The colonial office
has received dispatch saying Colen.
so has been evacuated by the British,
who are withdrawing to the south.
Colenso is 20 miles south of Lady
smith. The British are withdrawing"
from the key point of Gen. Whites
line of retreat. At this point is the
big bridge, which is the only way REIN
forcements can get through to Lady
smith. The capture of Colenso means
that Gen. Whites forces are entirely
cooped up by the Beers.
CAPE Town. Nov. 5.-The occupation
OF Colesburg by the Beers is officially
admitted. Colesburg is just south of
the Orange Free State, in Cape Colony,
and is an important town strategically.
1t is not more than 100 miles due east
of De Aar, from which place Gen. Bull
Ter will begin his great campaign to
take Pretoria.
LISBON, Nov. 6.--Persistent reports
are in circulation here that Gen. Sir
George Stewart White, British COM
mander in Natal, has capitulated to
the Beers.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The general belief
in London is that the Beers are now
waiting for more guns from Pretoria
before attacking Ladysmith.
The fact that Sir Redvers Butler APP
pears to have ordered a retirement
from Stormberg, and perhaps from
other placess relieves to some extent
the public mind which otherwise would
have been further alarmed. Confidence
is felt in any measures that Gen. Bull
Ter may deem desirable. The knowl-
edge that the pigeon post is working
has also come as relief to the great
anxiety previously felt.
The third-class cruiser Pelorus has
been ordered from Gibraltar to Dur
ban. and the third class cruiser Fear
less from Port Said to the same point.
Dispat ches from Cape Town and other
centers in Cape Colony indicate that
the Cape Dutch are becoming very
restless in consequence of Boer sue
cesses.
The Morning Post Ladysmith corre-
spondent. telegraphing Novembe /.
says: 1--WE can not understand the
Boer tactics. 1t is incomprehensibl
that they should have refrained from
using their big guns this morning"
Commenting upon this dispatch the
Morning Dispatch observes: 1T is easy
to guess the reason why the Beers have
been nonplussed by the arrival of the
naval guns at Ladysmith. They are
now regretting lost opportunity, as
they might have cut the railway and
thus prevented the appearance of those
guns on the scene"
The troop ship Rapidan, which sail
ed from Liverpool for South Africa on
November /, but was obliged to turn
back owing to the damage received in
Fridays storm, lost 200 horses over
board in the gale.

that the Gilbert and Solomon islands

What Would You Give

To be cured of catarrh? If you or your
friends have this disease, you know how
disagreeable it is. Its symptoms are in.
famed eyes, throbbing temples, ringing
noises in the ears, headaches, capricious
appetite, and constant discharge OF
mucus. Fortunately it's cure is not a
question Of what you will give, but what
you will take. If you will take Hoods
Sarsaparilla, the great constitutional
remedy, which thoroughly purifes, ell
riches and vitalizes the blood, you may
expect to be completely and permanently
cured. The good blood which Ho oJd's
Sarsaparilla makes, reaching the delicate
passages of the mucous membrane
soothes and rebuilds the tissues and
ultimately cures all symptoms OF
catarrh.
