has received this despatch from Gen.
Butler, regarding the situation at
Ladysmith
The following has been received
from the General at Estcourt through
the Governor OF Natal:
Since Friday there has been ces,
saton of hosulities A note was sent
QD that day to Gen. Joubert by Gen.
White, asking permission for the non
combatants and the sick and wounded
to go south. Joubert refused to grant
the request, but agreed to allow them
to go to a special camp four miles
from Ladysmith.
The townspeople refused to ac-
cept this offer. The sick and wound
ed and a few of the inhabitants have
moved.
The only casualty in the town
from the shells up to the present time
was one KatIir killed.
'Ninety-eight of our wounded from
Dundee who were sent here have ar
rived and are doing we'll
Our position here is now be-
lieved to be entirely safe. 1t has been
greatly strengthened during the last
twenty-four hours. The people have
deserted their dwellings, and are liv-
ing in bOmb-prOOf places. There are
plenty of good stores of all kinds.

South Dakota Republican

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. S.-Reports
thus far received show strong Repub-
Hcan gains. Sioux Falls gives the Re
publican nominees for Justices of the
Supreme Court 25S majority; Republi-
can gain 1914 over the vote cast here
in 1896 for Mckinley. Former esti-
mates of from 5000 TO 10000 majority
for the Republican Supreme Court
nominees will doubtless be borne out.

Boston, Nov. S.-Munchelli Calucci,
who was to sail for Italy from New

have been arrested, but the one who
is suspected of killing Calucci made
his escape. There was feud be-
tween them.

Democrats Gain in Massachusetts.

Boston, Mass, Nov. S.-The Repub.
liean plurality OF $4,000 last year in
Massachusetts has been cut down to a
little less than 70000-probably 6S. 600

Boston. The latter fact affords them
especial qualification, as in 1889 the
city was Republican by nearly 1000.

REBELS DITCH A TRAIN.
Fire Upon the Derailed Cars,
Killing Two Americans.
HID IN A THICKET.
Lieut.. Lome's Scouts Made a Vigorous
Defense and Six Dead Rebels
Are Found.

Manila, Sept. 22.-2:35 p. ma party
of insurgents ditched a railroad train a
mile and a half south of Angeles this
morning and then opened fire upon the
derailed cars from a bamboo thicket
close to the track, killing two Americans
and wounding five others.
Lieut.. Lone and five of his scouts,
who were on the train, made vigorous
defense and caused the enemy to flee.
Six dead rebels were afterward found
in the thicket from which the rebel fire
came.
Gen. Wheaton, with six companies, pro-
ceeded from Galulet to the relief of the
train. but his services were unneeded.
Washington, D. c.. Sept. 22.-Word
reaches the war department showing
that Gen. Otis has sought to initiate the
policy employed in Cuba of buying Fill
Pine arms, and that his efforts have been
unsuccessful.
The natives were given to understand
that upon the surrender of gun the
military authorities would pay the per-
son surrendering it $40 and guarantee
him immunity from arrest for previous
armed opposition to the United States
and protection for the future. Notwith-
standing this tempting offer, not one bona
tide surrender of gun is reported.
One native, it is said appeared with
gun in hand and the military officers be-
gan congratulating themselves that the
end was in sight and when the rest of
Aguinaldos troops learned of the good
treatment given this man they would fol-
low his example. A requisition was
made on the treasury for $40. but before
the money was received investigation I'M
covered the fact that the native was act
ing as an agent for an American sol
der, who captured the gun in action and
wanted to dispose of it at government
figures to the military authorities
In view of the disinclination of the
natives to sell their guns, it is evident
that the revolution is not so much con-
tined to the upper ranks as has been be-
lieved. Were the soldiers not in sympa-
thy with their superior officers, it is said
by. army officers that they would GER
tainly have surrendered in at least small
numbers, as they have ample opportunity
to reach the American lines for the pur-
pose.
