Politics for a Time.
WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Chairman
Jones Of the National Democratic COM
mittee has arrived in Washington. The

proved. Ina few days Senator Jones
expects to leave the city for Arkansas

it improbable that he will take any
active part in the fall campaign.
Regarding the reported contemplated
change Of the headquarters of the ma
tional committee from Chicago to
Washington the chairman declined to
talk at length. It is understood that he
is earnestly in favor of the removal of
the headquarters to the capital city.

Mafeking says: The garrison here is

Continental opinion, so. far as can be.

French opinion is we'll known. The

THE GENERAL SITUATION.

London War Office Putting Forth Great
Efforts to Get Ready.
LONDON, Oct 12 If the latest reports
which are confirmed from various
points in South Africa, are true, the
Beers have not waited for the expira-
ton Of the time limit but have already
crossed the border, as they would be en-
titled to do both in virtue of the notif-
cation contained in the last paragraph
Of the ultimatum and also of the Brit
ish acknowledgement which reached
Pretoria so speedily as to justify be-
lief, amounting almost to certainty,
that the war party in Great Britain,
while welcoming an act which has de-
prived the country of all peaceful alter.
natives and given it the great super
fetal advantage to be derived
from the fact that the adver-
sary has voluntarily assumed the
stigma of virtually declaring war, was
eagerly awaiting it's chances despite
newspaper attempts to veil the real
feeling is in reality delighted that di-
plomacy has said its last word and that
action can now proceed.
There will inevitably be a long period
of suspense, together with a great deal
of chatting at delay, as all indications 20
to show that Great Britain is so unpre-
pared as to be compelled to remain on
the defensive for some weeks. All the
aggressiveness must come from the
Beers. 1t seems highly probable that
tho Natal ~. Co.. -. A..,
castle, will be in the hands of the Beers
before many hours.
From that point, however,. in the
event of a: further advance, they would
probably find British forces at Lady,
smith and Dundee capable of repelling
their attacks.
At Ladysmith the garrison, which
has to guard against an onslaught from
the Orange Free State has been rein
forced bp the Gordon Highlanders and
a strong contingent of the Indian troops,
end the authorities are now confident
of their ability to deal out an unpleas-
ant surprise to the Beers in the event
of an attempt to rush the position.
At@Dundee there are about 6, 900 men.
This force ought to be sufficient to stem
a Boer advance by way of Zululand,
and to maintain the line of communica-
tion with the base at Pietermaritzburg,
the headquarters of General Sir George
Stewart White. On the Bechuanaland
border, the situation seems to give the
Beers temporary advantage. There
is considerable anxiety in the districts
of Vryberg and Mafeking, although it
is hoped that the reinforcements re-
Gently dispatched there will be sufficient
to protect the rich town of Kimberley.
The attitude which the Cape Colony
ministry will adopt on actual outbreak
OF hostiities is much discussed here.
The dispatches from Cape Town say
that the cabinet will resign, while there
are persistent reports in London that
Sir Alfred Miner, governor Of Cape
Colony, has already dismissed Mr.. Will.

fewdays.
: Official dispatches received and not
made public show that both Generals

northward with their forces, the pur-
pose being to get control of the railroad
and. the important towns as far north
as possible. Eventually, it is intended

the railway, 80 as to flank the enemy.
This expedition, however, will not
start until additional troops have ar
rived. Meanwhile the divisions under
Lawton and Macarthur will push to
the north as far as they can.
It is this northward movement of the
American forces that probably &C.
counts for the great activity of the in
surgents south of Manila.
SAN FRANCISCO DE MALABoN, Oct. II,
General Schwan's column, approach

fighting, the insurgents retreating un-

where hidden insurgents poured several
volleys upon the general and his
staff. The rebels resisted stubbornly.
The reconnoiterers, consisting of Cap
tain Geary's battalion of the Thirteenth
regiment and two guns of Rileys bat
terry, drove the insurgents two miles,
fighting all the way. They found
field piece and several wounded and
sick Filipinos flying red flags, and cap
tured 25 insurgents, including three Of

along the fields. The Americans total

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-The United
States transport Tartar has arrived
from Manila with the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment, under command Of
Colonel Metcalf, and 800 discharged
soldiers from various regiments. The
Tartar was met at Angel island by Gov-
ernor Stanley of Kansas and party,
who went out in a tug to meet her.
General Funston was the passenger
most eagerly sought for. Owing to the
rough condition of the sea it was impos-
sible to get very extended interview
with him. When asked of his future
intentions he replied:
"They will depend upon what the
authorities decide upon"
He reported pleasant trip over.
General Funston further said that he
was in excellent health. He had little
to say about conditions in the Philip
pines beyond expressing the opinion
that the war would soon be ended. He
spoke in high terms of the good work
done by his command. He was glad to
get back to the United States, though
he does not regret the time and energy
expended in the attempt to subdue the
Filipinos, which he was confident
would ultimately prove successful. The
Tartar had 20 sick soldiers aboard, Is of
whom belonged to the Kansas regi-
ment. They were suffering from dysen-
terry. Corporal Robert M. Lee and Pri-
vate John NJ. Orth of the Kansas regi-
ment died during the voyage.
