milton of the belligerency of the Dutch re-
public marks a complete change of front
bringing the war within the scope OF The
Hague peace convention, rendering interven-
ton or mediation within. the right Of any
powCi.
The ministerial explanation OF this alter
alton of policy is that the Orange Free
State's belligerent rights could not legally
be contested and that it was found in prac-
tice impossible to distinguish between the
two republics, England being at war with
both.
The more generally credited explanation
is that the kaiser impressed Bafour and
Chamberlain with the fact that he could not
and would not restrain German officers from
joining tho Beers unless a state of war
was declared, The kaise' when he meets
tho queen of Holland tomorrow, can thus
show her he has obtained valuable conces-
sion from the British government and one
which opens the way for some other power
to propose mediation.
1t is also believed that Queen Victoria is
disheartened and Mortified at the heavy
British losses that she is now bitterly sorry

ment and inclination, to assent to this war.

LONDON, Nov. 2S-A dispatch has been
received here from General Butler giving a
list OF casualties among the troops engaged
in what was hitherto known here as the
battle of Gras Pan, but which is now of
ficially designated as the battle of Enslin.
1t proves, as anticipated, that the British
success was heavily bought. The losses
announced today. added to the naval brigade
casualties previously reported, make grand
total of 1913 as the cost Of General Methuen's
second battle. The Yorkshres apparently
bore with the naval brigade the brunt Of the
fighting as there were, in addition to three
officers, forty eight OF the rank and file
killed, wounded and missing. The fact that
the list contains the casualties of the Ninth
LanceTs seems to dispose of the fears that
the cavalry was surrounded ana captured,
General Buffers list of the casualties
shows that among the wounded of the Second
Yorkshire Light infantry were Captain C. A.
Yates, Lieutenant II. G. Fernyhough and
Lieutenant C. II. Ackroyd.
The casualties among the non-commis-
stoned officers and men OF the various regi-

Bloody Battle Between Clay
County Feudists.
Five Men Killed and Others May
Die of Their Wounds
More Trouble Feared.

Louisville, Ky, July 20.-A spec.
ial to the Times from London, KY,
says: The situation in Clay county
has not improved Monday S slaugh.
ter is believed to be the beginning
of series of such battles. After
the fight runners were sent out tc
inform friends on both sides. The
Phllpots came to the support OF
their kinsmen in squads of ten and
| fifteen from distant parts of the
country. Two OF their horses fell
dead from the heat, so eager were
their riders to get to the scene of
battle. The Philpots are reported
to number 100, in arms, ready for
another attack from the Morrises,
Griffins and Chadwells, who are re-
ported two miles away with fifty
armed men. Excitement is high.
The bodies of Aaron Morris,
Harve Griffin and Hugh Griffin, the
three men who were killed Monday,
were placed in one wagon and
hauled to the gravey ard, near
Manchester, where they were buried
to-day. 1t was some hours after the
battle occurred until enough of the
Griffins friends could be rallied to
remove the dead and wounded from
the battle ground. Ed Fisher, who
fell with many holes through his
body, has died of his injuries. He
will be buried at the PhiIpot grave
yard.
Robt. Philpot was reported dying
last night, but this mornings re.
port says he is yet alive. Green
Griffin is at Chadwell's, where the
Griffin side is assembled. Both OF
his legswere shot off and he will
die. Both Geo. Philpot and Alex
ander Fisher will probably recover.
The correspondent saw the bond
which Robt. Philpot was filling at
the time of the attack. The bond is
smeared with blood and the top cut
off with buck shot. The Grifins
made their assault on horseback
and were among the Philpots be-
fore they knew it. Aaron Morris
announced the Griffin sides appear
ance by firing into Robert Philpot
with Winchester. Ed Fisher and
Aaron fought hand-to-hand battle
with Colts revolvers.

OUT OF TOWN
Are all the Smallpox Cases
But the Council
Will Cooperate With the County
in Stamping Out the Dis
ease at Once.

DR.. ]. N. Mccormack, Secretary
of the State Board of Health, was
in the city Wednesday night agar
and conferred with the committee
appointed by the council to cooper
ate with the county Board of Health
in the matter of the smallpox visi
tation.
There are now FIVE cases in the
county, two at Jas. w. Carloss'
one at r. H. Higgins and two at
VIM. Coburn's, all in the same
neighborhood, about five to seven
miles southwest of town.
Four are grown people and one a
child, and all are colored. The
disease is mild form and is trace
able to the case at Schmidt's S farm
last April. One other case, ne
gro man named Dawson, who was
exposed last April, had the disease
the latter part of May and was
treated for chicken pox, without a
regular physician being called in.
The present cases all resulted from
contact with Dawson.
The county and city authorities
together have taken charge and
provided every means for prevent
ing further spread of the disease.
DR.. ]. W. Harmed has been de-
tailed to treat all of the cases. A
pest house, consisting of several
tents, will be at once established in
a field half way between ]. c
Moore's and r. H. Huggins' farms.
All of the patients will be taken
there and strict quarantine will
be established. Armed guards-W.
II. Ryan and ]. B. Littlefeld-will
enforce the regulations and keep all
those who have been exposed con-
hned to their premises.
The Council has ordered every
body who is not immune to be vac
cinated at once and the druggists
have already laid in a fresh supply
of vaccine points. Vaccination will
be strictly enforced in all schools
under the state law covering the
matter.
1t is not believed the disease can
gain any further foot-hold and that
It will soon be stamped out alto
