FORTY-POUNDER SILENCED.


LONDON, Oct. 31.-The correspondent of
seemed to be proceeding most satisfactor-
lily when at 7:15 a. m. the enemy in large
numbers. with field guns, Maxims and thir-
ty-seven-m -millimeter guns, began to develop
heavy attack OH Colonel Grimwood's in
fantry. The cavalry brigade had moved up
on our right, holding the parallel ridge over
against Colonel Grmwood's position and
practically acting as infantry. In the mean
time our batteries kept down the siege-gun
fire upon Ladysmith with shrapnel.
'At Q o'clock there seemed TO be lull
as our reserves moved up. but suddenly the
engagement reopened as the enemy on our
right brought further artillery to bear. Col.
Grimwood, who, with the three advance
battalions. had held the ridge for five hours.
suddenly fell back across the open upon our
guns. The Fifty-thrd Battery pluckily
pushed forward to cover this withdrawal.
Severe casualties occurred at this phase.
The Fifty-third Battery held on against a
crOSS-Ire OF rlIleS ana qulck-nrlng guns
until the infantry was clear. The teams of
the two guns were damaged and the battery
eventually retired, made-up teams being
sent to extricate the two guns. The cav
airy, remaining unsupported, were forced to
fall back also.
Then began general retirement ON
Ladysmith. The guns, which had been COW

not press, but showed themselves on their
position i'm great numbers, only to find that

placed in position under cover of redoubt,
and in five minutes they silenced the ene-
mys forty-pounder.

o'cock in the afternoon. The casualties
caused by the enemy's artillery were not
severe. The mountain battery on the left
reported that it had suffered through a
stampede of mules.

SOUTH GROWING RICH.

Spin Its Own Cotton.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 3o.-Mr. W.
S. Witham, of Atlanta, who Is president
of twenty-seven banks in Georgia, has writ
ten the Tradesman, giving his views on
Southern business conditions. He says that
until within 4 few years all the institu-
tions which he represents were forced to
borrow all their money in New York. Now
they are able TO get money In the Southern
cities at New York rates of interest. In
the twenty-seven banks three out of every
four dollars on deposit belong to farmers.
He also says the day of the small cotton
mill has come and the South is going to spin
her entire crop There is no reason" says
Mr.. Witham, why the South should not
get from $40 to 500 for a bale of cotton
worked up instead of $50 in the raw ma
terial. Labor is plentiful and cheap in
Georgia. The success of the Georgia cot

the success much further, beyond that

every kind of natural cover. Of this the
enemy took the fullest advantage. Our
shells failed to dislodge the Beers, and as
our infantry moved forward in extended or

rected rifle fire., the effect of which was
soon apparent.
General White, who was with the center
seeing that the troops on the right were
somewhat pressed. sent to their assistance
the whole center column with the excep-
tion of the Devonshire regiment. The bat
tie had then lasted four hours, during which
the artilley fire on both sides had been al
most incessant.
The naval brigade which landed at Dur

end of the fight and Immediately brought
their heavy guns into play. Their practice
was magnificent. At the fourth shot the
enemy's forty-pounders had been knocked
out of action.
The town is now freed from apprehension
of bombardment. Throughout the engage

age and tenacity. and. considering the in

White Unable to Carry Out His Plans
Because the Beers Had Retrented.

LADYSMITH. Oct. So.-There was some
sharp fighting about this place to-day, in
which the Beers suffered heavily and the
British lost about one hundred men. Firing
commenced at $40 o'clock in the morning,
the Beers shelling Ladysmith with forty
Founders. After several shots the British
guns succeeded in silencing the Boer fire.
A force of Beers then advanced on the
British left flank.
The British sailed from their camp at
dawn with the object of shelling the Beers
from the position where, yesterday, they
had mounted a number of guns On reach
ing the spot. however. it was found they
had evacuated the position. The British con-
tinued 20 advance and the movement devel-
oped into a reconnaissance in force. The en-
emy was posted on a range of hills having
a frontage Of about sixteen miles.
The British force was disposed in the fol-
lowing order: On the right. three regiments
Field Artillery and five battalions of in
fantry; In the center, three batteries of
Royal Field Artillery. two regiments cav
airy and four infantry battalions. and on
the left the Royal Irish Fusileers, the
Worcestershire Regiment and the Tenth
Mountain Battery.
This force had been detailed to guard our
left flank at late hour last night. General
Whites plan of operations was that as the
movement developed the force constituting
our center. which was disposed under cover
OF a kopje about three miles from the town,
should throw itself upon the enemy. while
the left flank was being held by the Fusi-
we'll devised. but failed in execution, owing
to the fact that the Boer position, which
formed our objective. was evacuated.
Our artillery quickly reduced the volume
of the enemy's fire. but the attack delivered
on our right flank was the principal one and
the column was compelled to change. The
Boer attack had been silenced for time
and our infantry advanced. covered by cav

CUPID CAPTURES DEWEY
THE ADMIRAL ANNOUNCES HIS EN-
GAGEMENT TO MRS. w. b. HAZEN,
Widow of the Former Chief Signal
Omcer Of the Army, Forty Years
of Age and Very Wealthy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Admiral Dewey
announced to some of his more intimate
friends tonight the fact of his engagement
to Mrs. w. B. Hazen, of this city. Mrs.
Hazen is the widow of General Hazen. for
merly chief signal officer of the army, who
died about ten years ago, and is a sister of
John R. Mclean, Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio. Mrs. Hazen has no
children, and since her husbands death, has
made her home with her mother She is a
woman of large means, about forty years of
age and popular in the best social circles of
Washington. The date for the wedding has
not been fixed
The news of the admirals engagement
first became known tonight. when the ad-
miral announced the fact to few of his
friends. Later in the evening he visited the
Lafayette-square Theater and while there
also communicated the news to some of
his near friends and TO Secretary Long,
who occupied one of the boxes. While the
date of the wedding is not definitely known,
the understanding is that 1t will take place
some time during November. Rumor has
connected the names of the admiral and
Mrs. HaZen for some time, but little at
tention was paid to the matter. 1t was at
the house of Mrs. Mclean, the mother of
Mrs. Hazen, that the admiral stopped when
he came to Washington after his return
from Manila. Previous to his departure to
take charge of the Asiatic squadron, two
years ago, he had been visitor at the
house. The admirals first wife died in 1872.
She was the daughter of a former Gov
ernor of Vermont One child from that mar
riage, a son, is now living in New York.
General Hazen, the former husband of Mrs.
Hazen, died the 18th of January, 1887.
and son from their union died last year.
Mrs Hazen has long been a social favor
ite In Washington. She Is possessed Of an
attractive personality. of most graceful
manners and brilliant mind.
A delegation of citizens of Tennessee were
among the first to learn of the admirars
engagement Headed by Representative
Gaines, OF that State, they called early in
the evening to extend an invitation to the
admiral to be present in Nashville on the
occasion of the return home of the First
Tennessee Regiment from Manila. The ad-
miral expressed the great pleasure it would
afford him to be present on that occasion,
but urged the pressure of official duties, in
cluding the meeting of the Philippine COM
mission, which would prevent him accepting
the invitation. There were other matters,
also, he said, which intervened to prevent
his coming, and he finally admitted that he
had just secured the promise of his intended
bride to become Mrs. Dewey. The admiral
was warmly congratulated by the members
of the delegation.
Admiral Dewey took possession of his
new home. The last of the furniture was
arranged i'm the new house to-day and the
admiral's trunks were brought up from the
apartments he has been occupying at the

DISLOCATED BONES.
An Iowa Physician Says They Cause
Most Gases of Insanity.

CENTERVILLE. Ia, Oct. 30.-Dr. r. Ber-
nard, whose cure Of insanity by resetting a
bone in the patients neck has excited great
interest among the physicians Of this Sec
tion. has been invited to visit the State
Asylum for the Insane and examine the pa
tients there. At professional dinner in
this city tonight DR.. Bernard declared his
belief that two-th!rds OF the insanity cases
could be cured by the resetting of dislo-
Gated bones.
The patient whose cure has brought DR..
Bernard into prominence is a wealthy farm
er named Bart Neal, of Plano, Ia. who sud-
denly became maniacal and was declared
to be incurable. DR.. Bernard had him re-
stored to reason twenty-four hours after
resetting the dislocated bone in his neck.
Several other physicians were present.

LONDON. Oct. 31.-Yesterday's engage
ment at Ladysmith, which, despite the
rather heavy losses. must be re-
connoisance or skirmish than a bat
tie. seems to make little change in the
actual position. 1t is disappointing to the
British public as again revealing tactical
skill of an Unexpectedly high order on the
side of the Beers. In addition to the posses
siop of number of heavy guns-guns they
are able to transport-they have available
marvellous utility. Unless commanded by
skiliful European officers, it is hardly con-
sidered probable that Boer farmers would
have assumed feigned position, they
evidently did. in front Of the right column.
with the intention of retreating from IL to
their real fine Of defense and of inducing the
British to attack over a ire-swept zone.
The special dispatches describing the en-
gagement again fail TO confirm General
Whites official account that the Beers were
pushed back several miles. When 1T is con-
sidered that the censorship is very severe,
the only conclusion that can be arrived at is
that the action was extremely inconclusive.
The lighting began with a frontal attack
on the main Boer position. which, however,
was found evacuated. The enemy, having
retired, now made change Of front and
developed heavy attack on Colonel Grim-
woods brigade. To meet his the British
artillery. which has been sheliing the evac-
uated position. also changed front. Ga inn
woods brigade was promptly reinforced,
but soon was obliged to fall back ,aIieiy
with consequences which might have been
serious had not the Fifty-third field battery
pluckiiy covered the movement at consider
able loss to itself
1t Is quite certain that General White
failed to accomplish the object he intended
and the days proceedings are an instructive
example of the difficulty of operations when
the enemy holds an extended position from
expected developments and changes of
front.
Sir Redvers Butler cannot arrive at the
scene of fighting until the end of this week.
In the meantime General White will need
all his resources 10 prevent the Beers
around Ladysmith linking their forces. The
omission OF all details likely to give a true
idea of the position from General Whites
dispatch may be due TO his reticence. but
editing by War Office officials is likely to be
again severely commented on.
An interesting feature of the news from
the front is the part taken by the navy.
The naval brigade arrived at Ladysmith
yesterday morning at half past O'Clock and
as soon as possible began firing with six
quick-nring guns. The Boer forty-pound-
ers. which had again begun TO shell the
town. were temporarily disabled at the third
and NTH shots II is believed the naval
brigade consists of hundred men from the
British cruiser Powerful with some of the
cruisers four-inch quick-firers. with range
OF 1000, yards. firing forty-five-pound
shell. The battery that was lost is prob
ably one consisting of six two-and-one-half-
inch muzzie-loaders and thirty-six mules
