of the enemy is unknown, but the
bodies of three FilipiDos were seen.
There were two sharp fights near No
velta. loves scouts first encountered
the enemy near Cavite Viejo and soon
put them to fight, continuing their ad
vance. Capt. Saffold's battalion OF the
Thirteenth regiment, with the two
companies of the Fourteenth and a
number of Tagalo scouts, Capt. Nc
Grath. commanding the troops from
the Fourth cavalry, and Capt. Reilly
and his battery, came upon h enemy
In a strongly intrenched position on

followed, resulting in the enemy being
driven back. The American forces sus-
tanned considerable loss in this engage
ment, the men being shot from
trenches and shacks along the road.
The column then passed OF to No

was executed and the insurgents We're

creek, dividing the peninsula. destroy
Ing the bridge across the stream. The
marines waded through more rice
fields, forded the river IN water to
their shoulders and carried the forts,
meeting with feeble resistance, the
first encounter having disheartened
the enemy. Squads were sent to No.
velta and burned the town and the
huts along the road from which the
enemy commenced the firing. There a
junction was formed with the scouts
who had been sweeping the swamps
and thickets. Thence the marines re-
turned to Cavite thoroughly exhausted.
Lieut.. Wynne, with a three-pounder,
did good execution during the ad-
vance. Gen. Lawton was not in per-

Capt. Cowles' battalion of the Fourth
infantry, while accommodating, found a
body of several hundred insurgents
near San Nicolas. After a brisk fight
lasting three-quarters of an hour, the
enemy was driven OFF. In this engage
ment the American casualties were
four men slightly wounded. Six of
the enemy were killed, but the num-
Der of wounded is not known. The
bad condition of the roads made the
progress of the artillery slow.

Devil Anse," chief of the notorious
Hatfield gang OF Kentucky, has been

many other dreaded desperadoes, the

London. Oct. 10.-Whatever may be
the result of Great Brltain's contro-
versy with the South African republic,
every department of the government
Is as busy as though actual hostiiitles
had begun. The electric fash that an
nounced the mobilization of the army
reserves and the summoning OF parIla-
ment set every wheel of the govern
ment machinery in motion. An hour
after the Gazette appeared executive
orders were being dispatched from
the var office to every section OF the
kingdom and the 10000 bulletins
which appeared posted throughout the
country are said to have been ldent--
cal with the proclamation prepared for
use when the Fashoda incident re-
CURED such a step.
At the same time Lord Salisbury and
| Mr.. BaIfour were issuing the necessary
orders for the reassembling of parlia-
ment and the admiralty was concen-
trating its transports, twenty-four OF
which are now secured at Liverpool
| alone. SO complete were the prepare
tons that 25,00O reserves have ALREADY
individually received coupon tickets
which contain instructions where each
man shall report for railway trans
pcrtation to the place designated and
q money order for 3 shilings for pro-
visions en- route.
At Woolwich it was asserted that y
| per cent or the reserves could DE -uIly
| equipped within six days. In the mean
time the members of the two houses or
parliament are arranging to return TO
London. A force Of men is busily en-
gagged in completing the improvements

The most important news from
| South Africa from Mafeking,
where twice on Saturday the British
Camp was aroused, the men stood to

occurred as yet. but the enemy a
moved practically from the border,

correspondent of the Daily Mail de-

says, are expected this week. Mr..

Strange as 1t may seem at first
thought, there is a growing class OF
our people who have r~econciled them
selves to the domination of trusts.
They believe that the trust is a great
benefactor insomuch as it is an edu-
Gator of vast possibilities. This class
may be termed state socialists or social
democrats, and they believe that the
trusts are merely demonstrating the
possibilities of concentrated produc-
ton.
