OVER 1000 Americans have been
killed and wounded in the Philippine
war. Over one thousand American
homes have been bereaved. 1t is no
consolation, in these SAD homes, that
larger number of Fiilipinos have
been killed and wounded. The Col
onel of the ODD infantry WAS killed in
Cuba, while fighting for the Cubans,
who were seeking independence; the
Colonel of the same regiment was
killed in the Philippine islands while
fighting the Fillipinos, who were also
.eeking independence. The Ameri-
cans had an excuse for fighting Spain.
That war has ended. We are at
peace, but still the slaughter goes ON
The responsibility is upon some one.
The American people will, at some
time, decide upon whom it must fall.

British Killed and Wounded at Glands.
laarte Number $50.

Official and unofficial dispatches show
that the capture of Elandslaagte by the
British Saturday was a brilliant feat of
arms, although accomplished only with
gree. Lcs.:. The British killed and wound
cd numbered about $50, according TO the
report sent to the war Office in London
by Gen. Sir George Stewart White That
of the Beers is placed at much higher
figure, while many were captured. The
force of the Beers approximated 200
while the British had much larger num-
Der. The burghers were strongly in
trenched and in many respects the battle
was like that at Dundee Hill. Remark
able bravery was shown by the Beers
especially in repeatedly returning to THEN
guns after they had been silenced by the
British artillery.
Gen. Viljoen, second in command OF
the Beers, is among the killed. Gen.
Koch, who led them, was seriously
wounded and is a prisoner. His son, Piet,
is among the killed. An important pris-
oner taken by the British is Schiel, a
former German army officer. So closely

ment, Reaches Port.
The transport Senator, bearing the
Fifty-irst Iowa volunteers, came creep
ing through the heavy mist of the Golden
Gate, San Francisco, just at noon Sun.
day, and in a moment the cheers of thou
sands of people, the screeching Of whis-
ties and booming of cannon rent the fog
and cloud banks, and the gallant soldiers
steamed into the ofiing.
The arrival of the Senator is the cause
for double joy. Iowa and the nation are
glad to welcome home the men who made
such splendid record in the Luzon
swamps, and there is great relief in the
knowledge that the boat escaped the
great typhoon out of Yokohama, which
so nearly wrecked the Canadian liner
Empress Of India Doubts as to the fate
of the transport had been aroused by re-
ports brought by the Empress of India,
which arrived at Victoria after thrilling
experience in one of those typhoons which
are the terror of seamen in the East In
dia seas at this time of the year. The
Empress reported that the Senator was
right behind her leaving Yokohama and
probably felt the full force OF the storm.
The Senator delayed sailing two DAYS
on account of the great storm at sea. The
Iowans were given a great reception as
they steamed in through the Golden
Gate.

| BUSINESS SITUATION.
Chicago Correspondence:

Nothing calculated to disturb the pres
ent favorable underlying conditions of
trade and manufacture has occurred dur
ing the last week. Activity along nearly
all lines is increasing rather than dimin-
ishing and the signs are pointing to the
transaction Of an enormous volume of fail
and winter business. Money continues
to show an easing tendency, and while
the sterling exchange market at the mo-
ment seems to foreshadow an outward
movement of gold in the next few weeks
the opinion Of the best authorities is that
such shipments, IL they occur, are not
likely to have any serious effect ON the
situation in this country. Although gen.
eral business is enormously swollen by
reason of the heavy domestic consump-
tion of commodities, the export trade Is
increasing all the time. The statement
for September showed the largest exports
Of merchandise for any corresponding
month ON record.
The stock markets have been affected
somewhat by the decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois in the glucose case, but
the disturbance caused by this has been
confined mostly to what is known as the
industrial" department. Price Of wheat
has tended lower this week, while corn
rather favored some improvement. Hold
ers of the former yielded reluctantly for
time to the influences that threatened
the value of their property, but those
became too obviously powerful toward
the end of the week, and Saturday saw
what had the appearance Of a general
surrender by the bulls. The final quo
tations Saturday showed a loss of 1H
cents bushel for the December delivery
and 1h cents for May, the discount of
December under May widening to the
extent Of the difference. The inference
is that holders of wheat are so tenacious
Of their belief in ultimately higher prices
TO have the wheat carried for them until
next spring. They are not unmindful of
the most unsatisfactory yield of last sea-
sons winter wheat crop or the heavy re-
quirements of Europe. The weeks ex-
ports of wheat and -four from all Ameri-
can ports were over 100000 bushels,
and the week previous they were in ex-
cess of 100000 bushels

WAR WITHTHE BOERS
NEWS FROM THE FRONT IS
GREATLY DIVERSIFIED.
Reports so Conflicting that 1t IL DIFF.
6cult to Outline the Situation with
Any Degree of Precision-Gen. Sym
ons Dies Of Wounds.

The dispatches from South Africa have
been so diversified and contrary that II
has been difficultato outline the situation
with any degree of precision. Three or
-four main facts, however, stand out
prominently. Gen. Symon's fight at
Glencoe was not anything like the decis-
i've victory at first alleged, and Gen.
Yule would in all probability have been
annihilated or have met with the same
fate as the captured huzzars if he had
not retreated. Gen. Whites artillery
duel" at Rietfontein was very severe
engagement, in which the rifle did great
execution and in which success was also
achieved at distressing cost. The bonn
bardment Of Mafeking commenced We'd
nesday and the Beers got their hussar
prisoners safely to Pretoria.
Altogether the campaign is being push
ed by the Beers so strenuously and on
such sound strategical lines that the sit
uation of the British must in all proba-
bility give them cause for deep anxiety
for some time to come. Apart from the

fatigue, regiments like the Gordon High
landers and Royal Rifles have been prac-
tically without officers since the fights,
and 135 additional officers have been or
dered to leave England as speedily as
possible.
Outside of officialdom, and possibly
even therein, London on Thursday was
absolutely without definite news of i'm
portance from the vicinity of Ladysmi:h.
1t was believed that the forces of Gen.
White and Gen. Yule were united, al
though even this was a matter of specu-
lation. 1t was known that the Boer
forces were near TO Ladysmith.
The suppression Of news has not only
caused great Indignation in Great Brit
ain, but has created grave alarm for the
future. AS consequence the British
public is enraged at Lord Wolseley, and
demands that all official dispatches be
given out verbatim.
The death of Gen. Sir William Symons,
the British commander at Glencoe, who
was shot in the stomach in the battle
with the Beers there, was officially an
nounced in the House of Commons

WAR WILL BE ACTIVE.
Campaign in the Philippines to Open
soon on All Lines.

soon on All Lines.
Secretary Root hopes the campaign IN
the Philippines may be opened all along
the line within the next three or four
weeks. Although there have been some
military operations recently, he says the
campaign is not fairly on yet. Gen
Lawton has been sent north to occupy
San Isidro because of its strategic i'm
portance, but this is only preliminary to
the regular campaign. Secretary Root
has been informed that the rainy season
is about over, but the country is still
suffering from its saturaton. There are
many inundations, and the soil generally
Is so soft as to make military movements
exceedingly difficult. Army officers vary
from three to six weeks in their esti-
mates Of the length of time 1t will take
for the country to dry sufficiently for
the American forces to move with rea-
sonable facility.
The pans of the War Department are
matured for active work as soon as 1t is
possible to advance with ease and the
American lines will be pushed in all di-
rections against the Filipinos. 1t will be
possible to maintain this movement, be-
cause of the steady stream of volunteers
to be poured into Manila as re-enforce-
ments.
Much attention has been given to max
ing provisions for the sick and wounded.
The present hospitals have accommoda-
tions for about 1000 patients, and Col.
Woodruff reports only 1,S4I beds 0ccu-
pied by patients, including convalescents.
The War Department is making arrange
ments to have accommodations for 5000
patients, which is believed to be more
than ample even for the enlarged army
in an active campaign.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.
====--=----:------.----.-.--...:.:.

The British movements show vastly su-
perior strategy.
Hundreds of refugees from the Rand
now crowd the coast towns.
The best Boer policy is cavalry raids
and Notifications of the passes.
Cecil Rhodes is personally at the head
Of band Of rough riders.
England is watching the movements Of
France and Russia with eagle eyes.
England is placing large orders for
army clothing with German manufactur-
ers.
Gen. Yule's march from Glencoe was
attended by several skirmisncs with the
Beers.
Gibraltar Is being strengthened. and ex-
ira precautions are being taken in re
gard to visitors.
The Beers acknowledged they lost 100
killed and 300 taken prisoners in the bat
tie of Elandslaagte.
When ii is noon in New York il is Z
o'clock in the evening of the same day
in the TTansvaal.
The British at Elandslaagte were COM
manded by Gen. French. Col. Hamil-
ton had charge of the infantry.
According to late reports Of the fight
at Spytfontein the Beers were remarka-
bly, ineffective with their artillery.
The British Government has given au-
thority for organizing large supple
mentary army medical staff in the Trans
vaal.
1t is estimated that not less than H.
600 Beers are watching the passes in the
Drakonberg range from divers Hook to
Collins Pass.
The success of Gen. Symons at Dun
dee Hill and Gen. French at Glands
laagte were unexpected developments in
the campaign.
There is the ominous possibility of a
Dutch insurrection in Cape Colony. The
farmers are said to be highly excited and
in state of disloyalty.
Both sides are anxious to keep the
Basutos and Zuius out of the war. The
spirit of humanity is strongly evinced in
the policy of both war departments.
Within six days sixteen transports sail
ed from England carrying 10000 officers
and men and much artillery and supplies.
Mondays engagement near Ladysmith,
described by the British war Office as a
slight skirmish, proves to have been a
hard fight, for Gen. White figures mp his
casualties in 1t at 100 in dad, wounded
and missing.
The meager official news received and
promulgated In London Is a source Of
great dissatisfaction to the public. The
impression Is prevalent that the situation
IL more unfavorable than the Govern
ment cares to admit.

Gables from South Africa report that q
balloon has been seen high in the air
passing out towards some of the Boer
strongholds. If the report be true the
balloon is probably one Of those sent out
some time ago for use by the English
forces. These war balloons have each
10000 cubic feet capacity and are filed
from steel cylinders containing the neces-
sary gas under pressure. In addition to
the balloon corps for observation pur-
poses the English authorities have made
arrangements for the rapid erection of
high observation towers, from the top
of which, it is hoped, the hiding places
of the Beers may be spied out.
-
The purchase OF a large number OF
horses in the United States for the use
of the English army In South Africa is
made necessary by the fact that even
with the elaborate horse registration sys-
tenn in force in Great Britain ii is i'm
possible to secure all the animals needed
for immediate service at home. In time
of peace the military establishment Of
England requires for its use a total Of
1880 horses. In time of war this total
Jumps at once to 2S,749. Horse buyers
for the army are now at work, not only
in this country but also in Canada, In
Australia and in Austria.
-
A new problem is pressing for solution
ON the Pacific coast. 1t promises TO be-
come even more serious than the "Chin-
ese question" According to the census
OF 1890 there were at that time 2,039
"Japs" in the United States. Since then
the immigration has steadily increased
until the total number of japanese who
came to the United States in the fiscal
year 1899 was 1896. To-day, according
to the estimate of the japanese consul
at San Francisco, there are no less than
10000 "Japs" In this country, most Of
them on the Pacific coast.
-
In one way, and that financial one.
the Dreyfus trial at Renncs was direct
benefit to France. All the telegraph and
telephone lines in the republic belong to
the Government. and the great demand
for news of the trial increased the re-
ceipts from kilograms $4,000 and from
telephone messages 100000 while the
case was on. -
The popular idea that all South Africa
Is not far removed from savagcry Is con-
tradicted by the fact that in Cape Colony
alone there are 5000 miles Of telegraph
poles, carrying many times that numbse
of miles Of wire.

when he heard the news, fled, fearing as

pot and Griffin factions at Manchester
are in small armies, heavily armed.
