eenrpl Wheaton's Expedition.

MANILA, Nov. 10. 10 a. m.-General
wheaton's expedition arrived of San
Fabian Monday night. but the surf was
too high to permit the landing Of the
troops in small boats. On Tuesday
morning the expedition approached
Llnguyan, a suburb Of Bagupan, which
has sheltered harbor with sand dunes
stretched from the water to the town.
The Bennington. Helena, Manila, Callao
and samar shelled the town and the
beach for an hour with the full strength
OF their batteries. but there was no re-
sponse, nor was there visible any signs
Of life. The troops were manned in
boats, I'VE steam launches each towing
four boats. wher these approached
the shore and the troops began to land.
q long line OF insurgents rose from the
sand and poured a heavy yolley over
the heads Of the soldiers, following this
with rapid fusllade. The Insurgents
were excited and fired high, few Of their
bullets striking the boats. Two men.
however, were wounded.
The companies were formed and or
dered TO lie down in the sand. They
gave the insurgents few volleys and
then charged, driving the enemy with a
rush. The FlllplnOs had lain behind the
dunes during the bombardment, the
shells ploughing through the sand and
doing them little II any damage. The
gunboat Manila brought the news that
when she left, General Wheaton with
his entire force of 200 men was march
ing eastward leaving Dagupan.
The battleshlp oregon, which had
been ordered from Hong Kong to Dag
upan, had not arrived at the latter
place when the Manila sailed. General
Young, with his cavalry, took San Jose
on wednesday. A small lnsurgent
force stationed there retreated. The
troops were terried across the river to
Cabanatuan on raft. During the pas
sage an accident occurred by which a
private Of the Twenty-secOnd regiment
was drowned.

Censors working Overtime.

LONDON, Nov. Il, $3.50 a. m.-com-
plote silence has again fallen upon af-
fairs In South Africa, The British pub
lie must perforce be content with the
brief, stereotyped report which the
censor allows to filter through from
Cape Town. That this condition of
things is no longer due to pressure OF
work or defective cables has been
amply proved. The Eastern Telegraph
Company reckons that the real delay
in transmission Is about two days. 1t
il evident, therefore that the censor
ship is responsible for the other two
days OF delay which seems to befnll all
the dispatches.
Moreover, the Daily Telegraph an
nounces that the appropriated" dis
patch from L0dysmlth, dated Monday.
which the war Office published on Tues
day, was not delivered In Fleet street
until yesterday CFrldny) morning. 1t
is believed that the war office received
further dispatches last evening, but
nothing has been published.

for Cascoes much further. It is expect
ed az soon as AguInRldo shows any dis

REAL CAMPAIGN

SAID TO BE ON.
Flood Of English Troops to bs Poured
Into All Sections Of the
Transvaal.
FORCE WILL NUMBER $4,000
By Christmas and shiplOads Of Am
munition and Supplies VIII
Accompany Them.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-With the arrival
at Cape Town Of the British transports
Boslin Castle and Moor. to be followed
by continuous succession Of troop
laden ships. the real campaign in South
Africa may be said to have commenced.
and the fact that the first named ship
was ordered to proceed to Durham, Ma
tai, forthwith, is said to indicate at
least modification in the plan OF ad-
vance.
1t seems that General Buffers first
move will be to free General White,
thus somewhat departing from the ear
ller plan credited to him of advancing
through the level country Of the Orange
Free State and southwestern Trans
vaal. 1t has been apparent for some
days that the situation at Ladysmlth
could not lie indefinitely prolonged, and
1t is understood that information has
reached the government to the effect
that the quiescence OF the Beers will
shortly be changed by the arrival Of the
sIege-traln from Pretoria, into deter
mined attempt to deliver telling
stroke. This, 1t is added led General
Butler to prepare counter-strqke and
endeayor to push the Beers back by
direct attack. Such an operation, II at
tempted will necessarily entail great
expenditure Of life. as during the month
the Beers have occupied northern Natal
they have fortified most Of the passes
and other positions suitable to their
style of fighting.
While the pigeon dispatch of General
White shows the beleaguered garrison
was holding its own yesterday. 1t is
feared here that the silence regarding
what the British artillery was doing
in reply to the Boer guns indicates that
the dread that General White is short
of long-range ammunition is not alto
gether groundless. II this is trua, the
reported further destruction Of the
railroad nearNColensO assumes greater
Importance.
One very serious passage IN General
Whites message gives the first official
confirmation Of the statements Of Boer
treachery. which there has been dis
position hitherto to dIscredit, but which
must now be accepted as at least partly
true.
with the additional division an
nounced by General wolseley at the
Lord Mayors banquet yesterday even-
ing, General Buffers forces Will "ggre-
gate about $4,000 men by Christmas.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.- Albert August
Becker. the German batoher. who on
January q last, murdered he wife.
Rachael, and afterward chopped up
and boiled the remains u -ordgF to dis
pose Of them. was hanged in the
county jail at 1906 O'Clock this after
noon. Becker's neck wa not broken
by the fall and 1t was sixteen minutes
before he was pronounced dead. on
the scafIold Becker protested Mis- inno-
cence and declared George Sutterlin.
the father OF his second wife, was the
real murderer.
The case in many ways bore q re-
markable similarity to that Of Adolph
Luetgart. Both Of the condemned men
were butchers, and the motive for the
crime was the same In both instances
the desire to get rid of the wife In or
der to marry o younger woman. The
manner Of committing the crimes was
also much the same, both men. accord
ing to the testimony, being extremely
brutal in the killing, and both using
the same means to dispose Of the body,
by boiling and burning. II was proven
at Becker's trial that after killing his
wife, he had chopped her body TO
pieces, then boiled the remains on his
kitchen stove, afterward burying the
remains in various places. AZ in the
case Of Luetgert, the rings OF the
murdered wife played no part in the
testimony leading to the conviction.
Like Luetgert, also. Beclter endeavored
to explain his wife's disappearance by
saying she had elored with another
man. Becker made aeVera! contes-
had drowned his wife IN Lake Michl-
gan. Later he endeavorod 70 iEnplicate
In the crime the father of the woman
whom he married after numbering his
first wife, and to the last he stuck to
this version.
