sponsibilty of beginning war and cannot
hereafter pose as the injured party"
1t is stated that the enemy's scouts
are almost in touch with the outpoSts at
Glencoe. The Beers are working around
both sides with the idea of getting
south of Ladysnith and attacking in
force with the cooperation of com
mandant General Joubert.
At Glencoe, the British patrol covered
a wide area in order to prevent out
thanking and were subjected to hot fire
in persistent skirmishing General Sir
George Stewart White is quite prepared
to offer battle and the camp is pleased
at the prospect of striking a definite
blow.
A BATTLE IN PROGRESS.
At Paris yesterday NJ. Gohier, writer
of leading articles for the Dreyfusard
organ Aurore, fought a duel with the
son of General Mercier, former Minister
oI War. NJ. Mercier was pinked in she
chest, but is not Thought to he seriously
hurt.
5:05 p. m-The British cavalry patrols
have been in action ut Acton Homes and
Testers Station since midday and the
action is still in progress. A number of
casualties have been reported. Supports
are leaving the camp and expect to fight
tomorrow.
Ladysmith, Oct 1S-5:25 p. m-The
British forces came into contact with the
enemy in the neighborhood of Acton
Homes and Testers Station about 16
miles out, this morning. The firing be-
gan about 10 o'clock.
THE ZULUS ARE ARNING.
London. Oct 1S.-According to a spe-
cial dispatch from Durham, Natal the
ZulJs are arning with assagais. Chief
Dinzulu says he is unable to restrain
them. 1t is expected that they will be
joined by the Swazis.
London, Oct. 1S.-There is still no
authentic news from Mafeking. but all
reports tend to confirm the belief that
Colonel Baden-Powell is holding his own
and no credit is given to the vague ru-
NOR that a flag of truce had been dis
played.
A considerable engagement is antici-
pated in the vicinity of Isadysmith to-
day. The combined advance of Beers
and Free State troops in this direction
has been executed with not inconsidera-
BILE skill and shows clear appreciation
of the British position. General Sir
George Stewart White has $4,000 men
and forty-six guns available, besides
considerable force of volunteers, to hold
Ladysmith, and no anxiety is felt on
this account, for the Natal country
where the engagement is expected, is
fairly open, and although the work of
moving them will be difficult, the guns
are likely to do good work.
The country is not favorable for Boer
tactics, and it will be very difficult for
them to avoid the exposure of their
flanks to attack by a vigorous and mo-
bile enemy already occupying useful
positions, that is, supposing they really
mean to fight and not merely TO attempt
to draw General White farther out with
a view Of surrounding him.
General White has large body Of ex
cellent cavalry which will be put to
good use.

GENERAL OTIS IS COMPETENT
EQUAL TO EVERY EMERGENCY
The General Will Remain In Command
ut Msnila-The President Has No Ser
ious Intention Of Removing Him-Did
Think Of IL Change Awhile Ago.

New York, July pa special from
Washington says:
The president has no intention of re.
iieving General Otis from the IN litary com.
mand in the Philippines. He had thought
seriously at one time OF assigning an off.
Ger OF high rank to command the forces in
the field, leaving General Otis to perform
the administrative duties OF governor gen.
eral. The president had two propositions
before him, one TO make Lawton the com.
mandlng officer Of the fighting forces, and
the other to send Merritt back to his old
place. The latter assignment would mean
the subordination of General Otis as gov.
ernor general to General Merritt, who out.
ranks him by regular, as well as volunteer
title. Both these ideas have now been
abandoned. Speaking for the president, a
cabinet officer says:
why should General Otis be relieved
unless he had some reason for asking to
be sent back to the United States? The
president has had no reason to find fault
with his work. 1t is true he has not ended
the war but he has certainly made progress
and has shown himself equal to every
emergency. He has taken good care OF
the troops and has shown himself capable
of handling large bodies of men. He has
made known his general plans of opera
tions when the campaign begins in the
fall and the experts here, together with
the president, consider that he has a
thorough and practical program mapped
out for his future work.
80 remove him now would be an ad-
mission that he had failed. We can not
admit this, for certainly the official dis.
patches from the Philippines show ma
terial extension Of our lines far beyond
the points controlled by Spain. To place
new commander in control of the troops
and make him independent OF General
Otis would cause no end OF friction. There
can be but one entrusted with plenary
powers, and l can repeat that the presi.
dent is well satisfied to trust General Otis
with these powers"
