small engagement, but,we soon run the
niggers out of town; we had six men
wounded and none killed. One man
got his eye shot out. We stayed in
Porac all night and the next morning
started for Angeles, about seven miles,
arrived here at noon, and from what
they say will stop here for some time.

here, there are lots of fish. but they are
soft and don't like them very we'll.

Too Much for Dewey.

Continued Round of Receptions, Etc,
Too Much for Dewey.
New YORK, Oct. 3.-The functions
and the receptions that have figured SO
prominently in the daily life Of Admiral
Dewey since his arrival off Sandy Hook
last Tuesday morning have proven al
most too much for his strength. The
admiral has been under such a perpet-
ual physical and nervous strain that he
is almost exhausted. Saturdays cere-
monies were the most taxing on his
strength of any that he has yet had to
undergo and he appeared Sunday look
ing pale and worn, despite the fact that
he retired early Saturday evening and
enjoyed good nights rest. When
the admiral had finished his breakfast
he sent for his private physician, DR.
Percy, who was closeted with him for
few minutes. Admiral Dewey later
called on the members of his family
and relatives and chatted with them for
some time.
At 10 q. m. he was called on by the
Chicago invitation committee, headed
by Mayor Harrison, and asked to attend
the cornerstone laying on Oct. 8. In
reply the admiral said that he was badly
in need of rest and. therefore, would be
compelled to decline the invitation, but
hoped to visit the Western metropolis
at some future time. -- ~

LONDON, Oct. 8. Pretoria advices say
widest excitement prevails there and
that the war preparations are proceed
ing apace. Big guns, field telegraphs,
burghers, munitions of war and pre-
visions are being hurried off to Volks-
rust, the projected base Of the Boer
operations against Natal. Crowds
gather at the stations to witness the de-
parture Of the military trains. Gen
seral Joubert goes to Volksrust in the
morning. The Boer war office is work
ing night and day and communicating IS
actively proceeding. The raad, in or
der to secure the support Of many out
Slanders. has decided that outlanders
who help them shall have the franchise.

lery along the Natal border and its
reserve artillery has been dispatched to
Standersted and Wekkerstroom. and
also to Bustenberg, which will probably
form the base of attack on Bechuana-

AN OMNIBUS SILENCE.

Diplomatic Negotiations Evidently at a
Standstil1.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-Not the faintest
hint is allowed to escape as. to what
diplomat communications, if any ARE
passing between London and South
Africa. So far as the public is con-
cerned matters have not advanced since
Friday. 1t is noticeable that not even
the Brussels agency of the Transvaal
has yet issued Mr.. Krugers latest note
to the press. The silence maintained
on both sides is regarded as ominous.
From South Africa the news is wholly
concerned with the feverish prepare
lions for hostilities. Commandant Gen
eral Joubert is reported to have said
that he has 10000 men on the Natal
border and that Commander Cronjo has
5000 on the Bechuana side.

600 sacks of American -four on the
ground that it is unwholesome. United
States Minister Strauss energetically
protested at the palace, and obtained an
trade ordering the admission of the
flour. The real reason Of the attempted
exclusion was probably the failure to
bride the officials.

STORM CLOUD LOWERING FAST IN
THE TRANsvAAL

Beers Are nIassing in Large Force on the
Natal Border and an Attack on Dundee
is Expected EARLY This Week-Trains
Carrying Troops Given Right Of Way
Over All Lines.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-From all points in
the TransvaaI, Natal and Cape Colony
come reports Of continued military ac-
tivity on the frontiers and, viii le move
ment of individual commands as yet
do not show concerted plans, it is evil
dent that the narrow, wedgelike strip
of Natal, whose apex is crowned with
the ominous name Of Majuba hill. will
be the center of the coming storm.
The Beers have esta blished camp at
scheepers Neck, near Vryheid, and
they will mobilize great force on the
Buffalo river, which the authorities at
Dundee expect will move across the
border to that spot probably at once.
It is believed that a conflict at this
point will occur early in the week.
Dispatches from Rhodesia announce
that anothsr force Of burghers is massed
at Petersburg, so miles south, and that
outlying parties are posted at various
points.
LONDON, Oct. "A special from Cape
Town says:
Something Of the apathy Of Premier
Schreiner's colleagues, the paper quoted
says: IF the premier possesses informa
ton leading him to believe there is no
necessity for the precautions which
others believe are urgently demanded,
it is Mr.. Sohreiner's duty to set the pub
lie mind at rest" ~.. -
According to advices from Pretoria,
it appears that the authorities there are
serving out no more Mausers, but are
giving the bnrghers' Martini instead.
This is mainly due to the defective
Mauser cartridges, which are constantly
bursting in the barrels and destroying
the bolt action, -.--s H.
