The party started for the American

By the firing Of the American troops in
the attack on POrac. None Of these
released American soldiers were cap

were taken prisoners while on picket

outside the lines As q matter of fact,
several Of the men are supposed 70 be
deserters- They say the Filipinos in

The prisoners unanimously praised
their treatment. One man said:

RUMORs ARE OMNIBUS.
Late Reports Indicate That the Beers WIN
BE satisfied with Nothing short
OF War.

London, Oct "A dispatch from
Durham. Natal. announces that the
Beers are expected 10 take the ag-
gressive at once. The most alarming
rumOrs are ahoat there respecting their
INTENT
Among the startling reports told to-
day was a bulletin from Natal to the
effect that the Beers and British had
FLASHED at Dundee and that 81 English
soldiers were killed. According to the
bulletin, the Beers followed up their
advantage and captured the place,
holding the city and the surrounding
country. The announcements concluded
by saying that reinforcements Of Brit
ish cavalry had started from Charles
town.
The receipt Of this bulletin caused
great excitement, but this was subse-
quently allayed by the authoritative
statement that the report was untrue.
Nevertheless, there are good grounds
for stating that all during the morn
ing government circles thought it pos
sible that fight had taken place.
1t is believed that the Boer command
ant, Gen. Joubert, is in camp eight
miles from the Natal border, with z, 900
armed men.

War Department OmeialS Believe There Il
No Escape from the Armies OF Law
ton and ~ hsaaon.

Washington, Oct 2.-War depart
ment officials say that important de-
velopments in the campaign in the
Philippines are daily awaited. The
expectation is based upon the report
received at the department Of the ad-
vance BY Lawton and Wheaton to-
ward POrac, which army officers say
will be followed by the opening Of the
campaign. The forces under Wheaton
and LawtOn now hold a piece Of terri
tory shaped like a broad triangle,
lying between the insurgents and
the railroad and the city OF Manila
The enemy have two routes along
which TO retreat. One will take them
into the mountains, where they win
have difficulty IN obtaining supplies
and at the same time they viii be
sooner or later hemmed in by Gen.
LawtOn. These mountains, the Cor
dillera de Cabusilam, vary in elevation
from 8, 900 to 4, 900 feet, and throughout
the greater part Of their slopes afford
good camping grounds for our cavalry.
II the insurgents escape to the south
Of the COrdilleras and in the direction
of the Subig bay region, a rapid and
determined movement on the part of
the combined forces Of Lawton and
Wheaton would drive them down into
the peninsula opposite Manila bay.
Here for time they could get up into
the MeTiVale Sierras and defy our men,
but here, too, sooner or later, they
would be cornered.
