At THE BATTLE OF GRAS PAN.

GENERAL METHUEN'S BRILLIANT VICTORY
AT THE BATTLE OF GRAs PAN.
Orange River, Nov. 27.-The British arms have
achieved brilliant victory. The enemy. strong
ly intrenched, held range of hills commanding
both sides of the railway at Roof Laagte, near
Gras Pan The Lancashres. under Lewis re-
connoitred in an armored train on Friday. The
Beers sheed the train. killing Lewis and a
private.
General Methuen then advanced. His COL
umn made detour and bivouacked for the night
tion
At dawn the advance began the Guards FORM
ing the reserve. The column debouched on the
plain eastward Of the Boer kopjes. The Boer
guns opened fire. Two batteries of British
artillery. posted on each SIDE shelled the Beers,
practice being good on both sides
The Beers stuck tenacously their positions,
firing steadily and accurately. The duel, which
continually became hotter, lasted three hours.
The Boer shells wounded several men Of the
naval brigade.
Finding it impossible to dsplace the Beers by
artillery General Methuen resolved an an in
fantry attack. A brigade of infantry, including
the Yorkshires, the Northamptons, the Northum-
berlands and the Lancashres. with the naval
brigade the right gallanty stormed the Boer
positions in the face of a whitening fire. and car
ried hill after hill, the brigade under Colonel
Money capturing the main position against q
terrific fire, but suffering severely.

90 the safety Of the 9th Lancers. The best de-
.,.,,or ~ tho engagement comes from the cor
resnondent Of "The Chronicle" 1t appears that
The Beers strongly intrenched, were holding
range Of kopjes commanding both sides of the
-ouvav. The British force debouched on the
r,ain 10 the eastward, and four Boer guns at
once opened fire. Lord Methuen's guns were
very quick IN replying. and fierce artillery

showed great tenacity. and Lord Methuen. find

terrnined upon an infantry attack

british displaying the greatest gallantry, and
rusb,ng forward in the face of terrific fire.
The Free staters recoied. and all the kopjes

dred feet in height.
The Beers suffered under the terrible shell

cut of by the New South Wales Lancers
But the pursuit OF the main badly by the
9th Lancers ended in failure. The ground
was terribly rough, and the severe fire COM
PEELED them to fall back.
As the Beers succeeded in carrying off their
g1lrs. apparently the British victory was not
a decisive action but is notable as having been
fought on Free state territory. All previous
combats have taken place on British soil.
At midnight the War Office Issued two I'M
portant dispatches bearing on the advances OF
Methuen and General Gatacre The former was
within eight miles Of the Modder River on Mon
day night and the latter is now in the noun
tain district Of Bushman's Hook. The Free
Staters are retiring to Molteno.
A Kimberley dispatch states that the Boer
camp there has been vacated, and General
Cronje with three thousand men. has gone
south. This seems confirmed by a report that
the Transvaal commandant was present at
Gras Pan. l. N. +.

war Office is making amends for its neglect
10 send strong cavalry force for the campaign
against mounted infantry by ordering reinforce
ments for three cavalry regiments. The
cavalry force in the British Army is not large
enough. There ought to be two more regiments
or Lancers. The War Office is also paying
critical attention to artillery details
Great sensitiveness is shown in military cir
cles over the charge that the Intelligence De
partment was badly served before the outbreak
Of war, and that artillery of inferior range was
sent to South Africa to be outclassed by the
Boer guns. The highest authorities deny that
the chief Of the Intelligence Department made
any mistake respecting the Boer guns. The
subject will be brought up in Parliament, and
fully discussed. for it is already Of the chief
topics of the West End. Military men assert
that the Intelligence Department not In
fault, but reported fully upon Boer armaments.
If that be true Lord Lansdowne and the Com
mander-in-Chief will have to bear responsibility
for serious mismanagement of a most impor-
tant detail OF the campaign.
The German Emperor has sailed for the Con-
tinent after receiving the final honor of salute
from a British fleet. Like a good politician, he
readjusts balances by paying a brief visit to
Queen Wilhemina, and makes a concession to
those German subjects who sympathize with the
Dutch in Africa His visit to the English Court
cannot be explained away as a strictly private
affair. 1t has strengthened and widened the
secret understanding already existing, and
opened the way for a close approach to a
British-Germanc alliance, which Americans
can regard with entire equanimity
The comments Of the French press upon the
virtual recognition of the Beers as belligerents
by the British Government display slight knowl-
edge OF American precedents in the Civil War.
Whether the Beers rebels OF belligerents, eX-
ternal Intervention will not be allowed by Eng
land, and the question of suzerainty will be
dropped with the two conventions. and the
principal OF the paramount authority Of the
Imperial government established. Two Ministers
spoke last night with emphasis on this sub
ject. Mr.. Balfour declared that no portion Of
the Queens dominions would again be
converted into place Of arms TO be used against
English subjects annexed by insolent re-
publics. Mr.. Ritchie contended that equal
rights for all white men in South Africa would
be brought about under the English flag and
added that the British object there was the
same in the Soudan. Conquest for Egypt
and Great Britain has been the British policy
in the Soudan. as Lord Salisbury has recently

EVERYTHING IS PROMISING.
Dun's Weekly Trade Review Says There Is
No Sign of Hating In the
Business World.

New York, July 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co., in their Weekly Review of Trade,
say:
Optimism is always popular, but more than
half the time dangerous. Seven years of halt
ing and reaction historically follow three OF
rapid progress. But the three of progress have
not yet passed and the most cautious search
discloses no sign Of halting. Foreign anxieties
have been real, but they seem to be passing,
and Europe has begun paying literally for more
food without expectation that securities can be
sent in settlement The extensive labor strikes
have vanished and the local do not AFFECT
national business. Fears of new and pow
erful corporations lessen as it is found
that they are controlled by the same laws
which govern the small companies. Above all,
the general evidences of prosperity continue
convincing, failures are the smallest ever known
for the season. railroad earnings the largest and
solvent payments through clearing houses in
July have been 1876 per cent. larger than last
year and 62.3 per cent. larger than in 1892, the
best of previous years Oh1cial returns of the
most wonderful year in the nations commerce

derson, commanding the Department

tain the remains of Private Francis
Deckelman, company L, First Califor-

last into a grave in the Decke1man
family lot at Odd Fellows cemetery.
On the 18th of the present month on
the suspicion that a mistake had been
made, the caslzet was disinterred at
the request of the boys father and the
suspicion verified Decomposition had
set in to such an extent that Identified
ton was impossible, but it was plain
to the bereaved father that dead Fill
pino had been given the resting place
intended for his son. S. Reinard, of
this city, who disinterred the remains
at Manila, states however, that they
are the remains of young Deckelman.
