OUT AT SHELLP0T.

WONDERFUL ACROBATIC AND
OTHER ATTRACTIONS AT THE
PARK ~ CHESTER TROLLEY
PARTY TONIGHT.
The entertainments being provided
by the management of Shellpot Park
are being appreciated by the people
of Wilmington, as the park last night
was well-hlled with visitors. The
performance undoubtedly surpassed
anything of a similar nature ever seen
In an open park In this vicinity. The
performers were all artists in their
lines and leaders Of the vaudeville
stage. The acrobatic act Of the Three
Nevarros Is a feature that will not be
forgotten by those who witnessed it
last night. and nearly everyone pres
ent remarked that they would return
to see the wonderful feats Of gymnas-
tics as executed by the trio. II is mar
velous how the Nevarros execute the
many wonderful moves with so much
skill grace and apparent ease. They
leap from the floor high into the air
and balance on each others heads and
hands, carrying each other up a flight
Of stairs while balancing on their
hands. and many other novel feats of
tumbling.
The rest of the show is also Of a
high standard and similar entertain
ments are promised throughout the
season. Barton and Eckhon, in addi-
tion to being clever musicians, are
comedians of rare ability, and their
act scored a success, as did also Miss
Ada Jones, in her latest songs and
dances Weston and Beasley intro
ducing the funny little man with the
funny little laugh had the audience in
continual roar, and AL. H. Jones, the
German comedian, had many funny
things to say and do. The Two Fan
tas. in their sketch of the tough girl
and boy also pleased the audience
The performance will be repeated eacn
afternoon and evening during the
week. and IL promises TO attract large
crowds. A large trolley party from
Chester will visit the park this even

tion that he is q dangerous man and a
poor citizen.
In Atlantic City the doctor has a
branch place. and is at present down
there treating eyes of persons who
have injured them looking for board
and lodging at reasonable rates. When
he went there he took his dogs. of
which he is very fond, with him.
There is a registration law in Atlantic
City. and as soon as the doctor arrived
he had his canine friends registered.
One of them lost its tag. He remem-
bered the number and iotted IL down
in a memorandum book which he car
ried in his hip pocket.
A day or two later he was standing
outside his office when the sable dog
catcher espied the untagged dog and
took IL in charge. The doctor, whose
wild and woolly Western fame had
spread over the city, made a break for
him, yelling:
Hey, there That's my dog"
AS he ran he put his hand in his hip
pocket to pull out his memorandum
book to prove the number
The negro must have thought he
was pulling his revolver, for he
dropped the dog like a hot-cake and
said

He was a badly frightened ne9o
but was somewhat reassured when the
situation was explained to him.

PASTOR SHORT AND POKER.

PASTOR SHORT AND POKER.
On a West Eighth street car last
evening the Wayfarer met Rev. Francis
Burgette short and called his attsn-
ton to certain publications which had
been made charging him with having
played poker at the Clayton House. He
laughed heartily as though inwardly
conscious Of the lightness with which
such an unwarranted accusation would
rest on the public mind, and then said:
Il haven't played a game of cards
for twelve years.
And how long have you been in the
ministry" inquired the Wayfarer.
"Ten years." he responded.
"Then for two years prior to your
ordination you had played cards and
have not done so SINGER" he was asked
That's vhe size of il" he said in his
off-hand manner, and the Wayfarer left
him to pursue his journey out Eighth

to that Point.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The following
cablegram has been received at the War
department from General Otis:
MANILA, Nov. 25.-Insurgents made feint
on linus last night. Three enlisted men
wounded; their loss, two killed, one
captured Quickly withdrew. Additional
troops sent from Manila today. Insurgents
will be driven south. Reports from Negros
encouraging. Chief insurgent leader in
north OF island surrendered voluntarily.
More planting being done. More sugar mills
at work than at any time since revolution
against Spain began. officers report people
apparently cheerful and hopeful; that form
of government in operation Is we'll SUITED
to conditions and working smoothly
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--The War de-
partment officials are disposed to account
for the sudden activity developed by the in
surgents south of Manila as reported this
afternoon, on the assumption that the in
surgent general in command there, who is
believed to be Pho del Pillar, has received
notice through some of his spies OF the des-
jperate straits of Aguinaldo and is man
fully trying to create a diversion in his fa-
,vor by attacking the American force in ths
rear. He occupies strong defensive ground
and Cavite province, the home of Aguinaldo
has never been taken by the Spaniards since
the first hostiities.
General Schwan assisted by the marines
from the naval station at Cavite, made a raid
through the territory last summer, but It
was during the wet season, the 'swamps were
deep and beyond driving the insurgents off
temporarily, nothing substantial was
achieved and the country was abandoned to
the insurgents. Now, however, with the ad-
vent of the dry season, the time is ripe for
the execution of the plans of General Otis
to clear out this country permanently and
carry out his favorte project for the INSTALL
ment in the province of local municipal gov
ernments, and General Grant, in command
there is being reinforced with that special
object. Sc

FIGHT IN PANhY ISLAND
Rebels Driven to Mountains After Hot
SlSirmish, in Which Several
Americans Are Killed.

MANILA, Nov. 25.-10;3O y. m.-The
movement against the insurgents in the
island of Panay has resulted in driving
them to the mountains, twenty miles inland
The troops engaged were two battelions
of the Nineteenth regiment, battalion of
the Twenty-siXth regiment the Eighteenth
regiment Gordon's mounted scouts and
Bridgeman's battery of the Sixth artillery.
The Americans lost five men killed and
had thirty eight wounded.
General Hughes Colonel Carpenter and
Colonel Edmund Rice commanded during
the various fights. Thirty-two insurgents
were killed in the engagements and the
natives reported that nineteen carloads Of
wounded were taken away.
Among the Americans killed was a lieu
tenant of the Eighteenth regiment and
sergeant OF artillery. Twelve obsolete cam
non were captured.
The Third infantry, reconnoitering from
Balinag, met the insurgents on the main
road and had a running fight to San Ilde-
fonso, where they drove 300 Filipinos from
an old Spanish redoubt.
Proceeding toward San Tiguel, the Amer
leans found the insurgents in series OF
strong works, two miles south of the town,
probably General Rio del Pillars old COM
mand, numbering $50 men. An officer was
killed and a private wounded. The In
surgents had four men killed and ten
wounded. Nine Filipinos were captured.
This is probably the largest band of in
surgents north of the Pasig river.

MILES OPINION Of BOER WAR
Recognizes that the British Have
Many Difficulties to Overcome
Before They Can Win.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 25.-General Miles
arrived here last night from New Orleans
on an official tour of inspection of Fort Nc
Pherson, Since the beginning Of his tour
in the south and west General Miles has
found the army posts in good condition and
Is pleased with his visit. When asked what
he thought would be the probable result Of
the British Boer war, he did not hesi-
tate to say that England would eventually
win, but emphasized the fact that the vic
tory would be bought with great sacrifice
of lives and property.
"British arms in the Transvaal will be
carried to victory he said, "but there will
be many lives lost, much property swept
away. II the Beers had as many soldiers
and as many sources of supplies, / would
not undertake to say what would be the re-
suit. But while the British possess all these
supplies and have an unlimited amount OF
men, both at home and in the colonies, to
draw from, 1t must be remembered that the
war is far removed from the base OF sup
plies. A land communication of 500 miles
is always a great hardship and an uncer-
tainty.
"You see what / mean when / say 1t is
only in numbers and finance that England
has an advantage. The Beers are fighting
at home. They are playing on home grounds,
as it were. They know the topography OF
the country They are acclimated Every
thing is new to the queens soldiers. Then
again the files are destroying the horses
and cattle sent to the Transyaal. All can
say is that much depends on the strategy
and generalship of the heads of the two
armies"
General Miles and party left tonight for
Washington.
