AN ANTEBRYAN PLOT.
Maryland Democrats Said to Be
Taking the Lead.
SENATOR GORMAN AT HEAD
TO THROW DOWN NEBRASKAN
IN CONVENTION.
Reported That the Enemies of the
Silver Leader Will Endeavor to
Present the Name of Admiral
Schley-Try to Get the Southern
. States to Join.

New York. Nov 23.-The Herald says:
Maryland Democrats will lead in an
anti-Bryan movement if any encour-
agement is offered them by the leaders
in this and other eastern states.
This fact was announced to Richard
Croker by ex-senator Arthur P. Cor
man and Governor -elect John Walton
Smith.
Senator Gorham is quoted as saying
to friend last evening that suffic-
lent number of anti-Brvan delegates
would be sent TO the next national con-
vention to prevent the Nebraska leader
from obtaining the two-thirds vote
necessary for nomination.
While in New York Senator German
and Governor-elect Smith have been
in close consultation concerning the
Democratic policies which Maryland
may develop during the next six
months. With them at the Waldorf
Astoria was Buchanan Schley, cousin
of Admiral Schley and surveyor OF the
port of Baltimore under the last Cleve-
land administration. Mr.. Schley is a
close friend of Senator German, and
his presence started the rumor that
eastern Democrats would unite II pre-
senting the name of Admiral Schley in
the next convention.

EVENTS AT KIMBERLEY.
British Holding Out and Losses On
Both Sides Small.

London, Nov. 23.-The war office this
evening issued a dispatch from Cape
Town which is brief diary of events
at Kimberley from Nov u to Nov. H.
1t shows that no serious engagement
occurred between those dates, that the
British losses have been infinitessimal
and that the Boer losses were very
small. The final entry indicates that
the Beers anticipating the advance of
the relief column under General Me
thuen, have taken up defensive posi-
tions to the south of the town. The
dispatch was as follows:
Kimberley, Nov. 12-The Beers fired
100 shells yesterday. Our expenditure
up to date is about 200 she'll

bombardment today, the Boer practice

two men wounded
Nov. 17.-There was another sortie
at o'clock yesterday afternoons from
Bulprietien. which drove the enemy to
the edge of fAlexandersfontein. Our only
casualty was a captain wounded. 1t is
reported that the Beers are eoncentrat-
ing south of Kimberley and now occu-
py laagers at Stagsteinfontein station

tically surrounded by kopjes and the
country is suitable to their tactics"

MUST HAVE INDEPENDENCE.
Senator Jones' Views Regarding the
People of Cuba

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator James
K. Jones of Arkansas, chairman OF
the Democratic national committee re-
turned to Washington today from his
trip to Chicago. where he went TO at
tend a conference of the executive
committee. In an interview tonight,
Senator Jones said:
The Hawaiian islands are now a
part of our domain by annexation and
the people there should be admitted to
all the privileges of government that
are accorded to residents of the United
States. If we are to regard ourselves
as Christian gentlemen, standing by
the declaration OF independence | do
not see how We are to force upon the
Cubans or Filipinos any form of gov
ernment without the full consent of the
governed. 1t seems to me out of the
question 10 make a state of the Philip
pines.
I'VE are pledged to give the Cubans
independence. / have not the least
idea in the world but if il had been
known we were going to acquire the
Philippines through our war with
Spain, the words and the Philippines
would have been inserted in the pledge
for independence to the Cubans"
Would you support any immediate
legislation looking toward change in
the government in Cuba?" the SEN
ator was asked.
If progress is being made in Cuba
toward an independent government for
the Cubans in good faith. l would not
hurry unnecessarily about its estab-
lishment. If there is not good faith in
the steps that are being taken, l
should be in favor of shaking things
up. 1t makes no difference to me if
80 per cent of the Cubans are in favor
of annexation, and should express it by
their vote, l regard il as all important
for us to entirely withdraw from that
island and leave the Cubans free to
act for themselves"

GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN
BRITISH AND THE BOERS
English Win Brilliant Victory at Belmont But at
Cost of Many Officers and Men.
Terrible List of Casualties on Both Substituting Re-

London, Nov. 23.-The secretary of
war has received the following dispatch
through General Forester Walker. from
General Methuen. dated Belmont,
Nov. 90:
Attacked the enemy at daybreak
this morning. He was in strong po-
sition. Three ridges were carried in

enemy fought with courage and skill.

WON AT HEAVY COST.
England Paid Dearly For the Vic
tory at Belmont.

London, Nov. 24.-Before anxiety as
to the situation in Natal had been re-
4 lieved, there comes news of a great
battle at Belmont This has happened
sooner than was expected. Only the
official account is yet to hand, but 50
far as can be gathered. the lighting ap-
pears to have been almost a repetition
Of the battle of Elandslaagte. A dis
patch of the previous day estimated that
the Beers in that vicinity numbered
1000. and that they had five guns, and
judging from the absence of any state
ment to the contrary in the official re-
port. it is believed that the British
We're slightly superior in numbers to
the enemy.
The Beers had chosen position with
their customary skill. and were strong
ly entrenched. The British were oblig-
ed 10 carry three ridges in succession.
Apparently the guards bore the brunt
in carrying the last ridge by a bayOnet
charge, after its defenders had been
shaken with shraDnel.
Nothing is said as to~whether the po-
sitions so gained We're held, and the de-
struction of ammunition eeemS to indi-
cate that the contrary was the case.
While General Methuen can be con-
graduated upon brilliant victory. it
is again at the cost of a heavy loss of
officers and men,
The situation in Natal remains OBJ
scure. Fighting is reported at both
Estcourt and Ladysmith. 1t was at
first reported that heavy firing has
been heard in the direction of Willow
Grange. leading 20 the belief that Gen
eral Hildyard had made sortie. Later
dispatches announce that General
White SORTED from Ladysmith and in
flicted a demoralizing defeat upon the
Beers.

credence to either report What is
quite certain is that Ladysmith. EST
