THEIR MISSION NOT OVER.

"ashington---The stat - epartinelil
mas secured iiddeeEflss ideelEfss a st the arlington b.
tel for the use of the Philippine COM
mission, being unable to find accom-
modation in the already overcrowded
department building. Col. DENLY and
Prof. Worcester are spending much
time in consultation with leading Off
cials Of the administration. Although
the plans OF the approaching sessions Of
the commission have not yet been fully
outlined, the indications are that the
earnest efforts of the body win be de-
voted to the preparation of short,
concise preliminary report which will
be submmItted in season to serve as p
basis for such congressional action as
may be necessary at the approaching
session. 1t is presumed that this
will set out briefly the origin Of the
breach between Aguinaldo and the
American forces, fixing the responsi-
bility therefor with all the weight
that should attach to the conclusion
Of a body of this character 1t is not
believed that the attempt will be
made in the preliminary report to
plan a detailed system Of government
for the Philippines, but this will be
allowed to go over until the insur-
rection has been quelled All of this
forecasts a return of the commission
to the Philippines, even before the ex-
piration of the present dry season, if
the result of the present military oper-
ations warrants it, and a circumstance
that tends to corroborate this belief is
the fact that the commission has left
behind in Manila installed III it's head
quarters the entire force of employees
and officials save Secretary MaoAr-
thur.

Alleged to Have Been Used by the British
---Boers Pistol Refugees.
London. - Fragmentary details are
| arriving Of the occupation of Dundee
by the Beers. 1t is alleged that
twenty men Of the Town Guard oc-
cupied an outpost couple of miles
from the town when a Boer she'll
dislodged them, and the men fed to a
neighboring hill, where 900 Beers sur
rounded them and shot the majority.
The Beers then entered Dundee, drag
ged several civilians out of their houses
and pistoled them in the streets.
As a pendant to the above comes y
story from Cape Town to the effect that
several. cases of dunn DUN bullets
were found by the Beers ct Dundee
which the British abandoned in their
fight. Some of the Beers wanted to
use the DUN dunn in the next bat
tie, but President Kruger vetoed this,
saying:
mo, it must not be SO. Whatever
the British are, we Beers are at least
humane. The bullets were then de-
stroyed.>
Further details from BuIuwayo,
Rhodesia, show that the armored train
from there on October II sent toward
Mafeking under the command of Lieut..
Llwellyn got within seven miles of Lo-
batsi, when the British found the rail
road badly damaged. Beers were Wis
iblc on hills IN the vicinity. Lobatsi
had been looted. The train encounter
ed the Beers three miles south of
Crocodile pools and the British opened
fire with their Maxims and drove the
Beers back to the hills, whence they
had advanced. Besides eight men kill
cd, the Beers lost eleven horses.

LEAKEsvILLE GREENE COUNTY, MISS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 8 4
DEATH OF GEN. HENRY.
Was United States Military Governor of
Porto Rico.

Porto Rico.
New York. Brig. Gen. Guy V.
Henry, U. S. A., the military governor
OF Porto Rico, died a few minutes be-
fore o'clock Friday morning at his
home on Madison avenue, aged GO
years. He had been unconscious for
several hours and his end was peace
full. AT his bedside were all the mem
bers of his family except his son, Capt
Guy V. Henry, ir., who is in the Phil
lippines.
When Gen. Henry was taken i'll
ten days ago, DR.. Smith, specialist
IN pulmonary troubles, WAS summon
ed, and he later called in consulta
ton two other physicians. The pa
tient commenced TO sink Thursday
and in the afternoon became uncon-
scious. Oxygen was used IN the hope
of carrying hin through the crisis,
but it was of no avail. His wife,
his son, Sston, and his daughter, Mrs.
Benton, the latter of whom arrived
from Newcastle, Va. late in the even
ing were with him whom he died.
Lieut.. p. E. Frank, Of his staff, was
also at his bedside.
The death of Gen. Henry was an
nounced to the war department at
Washington in dispatch from Lieut..
Traub, aide de camp on the general s
staff. The interment will be at Airing
ton National cemetery next Tuesday.
The announcement was received with
heartfelt expressions of regret from
Secretary Root, Adult Gen. Corbin
and other high officials as we'll as from
the rank and file about the war depart
mont, for Gen. Henry was well known
figure here and universally esteemed.
Gen. Henry's death has the effect Of
leaving vacant tho command Of the de
parment of the Missouri, to which
he was recently appointed. 1t has the
further important effect Of creating
another vacancy in the grade of brig
alder general in the regular army Gen.
Henry standing fourth in the list.

The only change that is evident in the
standing of the clubs in the Athletic
League after the past weeks work, so far
as the positions of the clubs are con-
cerned, is seen in the tail enders. The
Elizabeths, who were last, have forsaken
tina place and the Columbia Club of Ho-
boken has filled it. One game is all that
separates these clubs. The Roseville A. A..
is still in the lead and the Jersey City
Club is second. The former won two
games during the week and the latter
one. The Knickerbockers lost an entire
series, and as the New York A. c. won
one game the latter has a chance to again
catch their all around athletic rivals. The
games that are TO be bowled this week
will be watched with much interest as
every game counts, especially at this
stage of the tournament. Just what the
loss of two games to Roseville meant is
becoming more apparent daily to the
Jersey City Club and they will make
every possible improvement as their
chances are very good. The scores fol-
