MONEY IN CERvERA.s SHIPS.
Diver Finds $4,000 in the Purser'
Cabin of the Pluton

A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba SAYS:
1t turns out that the wrecks of the war
ships of Admiral Cervera's squadron which
remain here are better than gold mines for
the wreckers. party of the latter has Just
begun to explore the wreck of the torpedo
boat destroyer Pluton. and the first diver,
it is reported, found $4,000 in the purser's
cabin.
Last Tuesday some wreckers attempted
to board the CristobaI Colon, but found it
ALREADY occupied by another party. who
considered the wreck their property. A
fierce fight ensued, in which one man was
killed and several Were wounded.

ward. While, however, the anxiety In re-
gard to immediate stress of Lady smith Is
alleviated, there Is a widespread fear that
the authorities are badly laundering and
may find too late that the main expedition
will prove too weak to complete It's task
with safety and dispatch. as the Natal force
has already admittedly failed to perform
what was expected of 1t.
Lord WoIseIey's Confession.
The confession last evening of Gen. Lord
Wolseley, the commanders n-chief that the
Beers were more powerful and more numer-
Gus than had been anticipated sufficiently
explains the present happenings, and the
war office will hereafter have awkward
questions to answer in regard to its appar-
ent colossal ignorance of the Boer strength,
which, both in numbers of men and excel
lence of artillery, is apparently complete
surprise to the British military authorities.
Mail news from South Africa shows how
inaccurate have been the estimates of the
intelligence department and the govern
mental experts 1t is cleaned therefrom
that a fair estimate of the Boer forces is
follows:
Around Ladysmith $4,000; traversing Zu-
luland, 1900; advancing on Burghersdorp,
1000; Colesburg, 5000, Kimberley, 1908.
Mafeking, 1900, and on the northern Trans
Vaal border, 1000. Exact Information about
the Beer artillery is lacking. but it is
known that Gen. Joubert's detachment, be
fore 1t was reinforced consisted of sixteen
hTupp Helu pieces OF latest pattern ana TWO
heavy Creuzot siege guns which but for the
opportune arrival of the British naval bri
gade would have rendered Ladysmith I'M
tenabe.
Experiment With Naval Guns.
In connection with the naval guns, a
most interesting and important experiment
has been successfully carried out at Cape
Town with 4.T-inch gun, so serviceable al
Ladysmith. One of the British cruiser Ter
carriage, was fired in the same way as a
field gun with entire success. The Terri
Bile, with a number of guns thus mounted.
is on her way to Durham, and though the
guns cannot now reach Ladysmith they
may be of the greatest value in the de
tense of Pfetermaritzburg, which. it seems.
will probably have to stand a siege The
arrival of the Terrible with the relief crews
for China and other available men must
have placed in the neighborhood of 5000
more men at the service of the military
authorities.
Interesting news comes from the channel
squadron at Gibraltar, showing precautions
against all eventualities almost unknown in
European waters in peace time. On the
way to Gibraltar the fleet spread out four
miles apart and a sharp outlook was kept
for suspicious craft. AT Gibraltar extra
sentries are posted at night at different
parts of the ships, with ten rounds of ball
cartridges each The small guns on the
upper deck and the fighting tops are kept
ready for immediate use, the ammunition
being on deck; a few men sleep at the
guns. the searchlights are kept working
all boats are hailed and not allowed to ap-
proach without the permission of the officer

Hostile French Press.

nouncing the issue of letters of maroue by
the Transyaal government. and predicts
havoc which privateers may work among
Englishmen and transports This Paris
journalists find in part an explanation for
the mobilization of the British special sery-
Ice squadron. The view taken by the Ger
man press of the same matter is interest
ing. Berlin journalists treat the suggestion
of privateering with skepticsm. The Vos-
sfSche Zeitung says:
Privateering is no longer recognized by
international law, and the Transyaal is NOT
IN a position to issue letters of marque, as
1t possesses neither ports nor harbors Pri-
Watering must consequently be regarded
not only by Great Britain, but by neutral
powers, as unlawful warfare and to no
treated as common piracy"

BOERS BLOW UP A MAGAZINE.
They Set Fire to the VeIdt Around
Kimberley.

The London Daily Mail publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch from Kimberley dated
Wednesday, by way of Cape Town, Satur-
day. November 4:
This morning the Beers fired the veldt
near Bronfield, seven miles from Kimber-
ley, and this afternoon the flames set on
fire the smaller of the two magazines ex-
ploding the dynamite with a terrific report.
Fortunately, no one was injured. The yeldt
is still burning and it is feared that the
larger magazine. where there are 12OO
cases of dynamite, will be ignited"
1t is believed that the Orange Free State
commanders now have II 900 men concen-
trated against Kimberley and on the Free
State southern frontier Opposed to them
are only 1880 British troops. The towns
which lie open to their attack are AIiwal
North Burghersdorp, Steynberg, RarkIy
and Molteno.
1t is reported from Boer advices that the
big gun with which Gen. Kronje had hoped
to demOliSh Mafeking is not a success If
is believed to be a Schneider-Canet gun
weighing, with the carriage about ten
tons The recoil is so tremendous as to
throw the gun out of gear every time it IS
fired. After using the weapon two DAYS
the Beers gave it up.
Beers Annex Upper TugeIa.
Already the British retirement south of
Colenso has given the Beers an opportunity
disaffected Dutch by proclaming the an
nexation of the upper Tugela section. Thus
far the Dutch colonists seem to have con-
fined their sympathy with the invading
Beers to platonic emotion. Except for
surreptitious assistance, there is no evil
dence that they have joined the Beers
openly in any appreciate numbers
The reported British retirement from
Stormberg Junction, however will be fol-
lowed doubtless by a similar Boer procla-
nation annexing the portions of Cape Col
Ony lying directly south of the Orange Free
State. These proclamations as in the case
of Bechuanaland, have been and will be
Immediately followed by British counter
prociamations, but to the eyes of the Dutch
farmers the presence of one Boer COM
mando Is probably more impressive than
the expectation of the arrival of the whole
British army in the more or less distant
future.
The British newspapers publish a list of
the transports due to arrive at Cape Town
from today. According to this, some 20 900
men should reach the Cape by the end of
next week. but the admiralty issued A
chilling warning last evening to the effect
that no disappointment must be felt by the
public if the transports should not arrive
at the dates mentioned, dates which the
war office says, are based in many cases
upon too Sanguine eXDectatiOnS''
