AT BAYONET'S POINT.
British Defeat Beers in a
Battle Before Belmont.
More Engagements Reported from
Kimberley and Mooi River.
Transports With Troops Continue to Arrive
Beers Overrunning Natal.

London, Nov. pa A. M.-Before
anxiety as to the situation in Natal has
been relieved there comes news of a
great battle at Belmont This has
happened sooner than was expected.
only the official account is yet at hand;
but so far as can be gathered the fight
ing appears to have been almost a rep
etition of the battle of Elandslaagte
a dispatch of the previous day estima-
ted that the Beers in that vicinity
numbered 2000 and that they had five
guns and judging from the absence of
any statement to the contrary in the
official dispatch. it is believed that the
British We're slightly superior in num-
bers TO the enemy.
The Beers had chosen position with
their customary skill and were strong
ly entrenched. The British were oblig-
ed to carry three ridges in succession.
Apparently the Guards bore the brunt
iii carrying the last ridge by a bayo-
net charge after its defenders had been
shaken with shrapnel. Nothing is said
as to whether the positions so gained
We're held and the destruction of am
munition seems to indicate that the
contrary was the case. While Gen.
Methuen can be congratulated upon a
brilliant victory. it is again at a cost
of a heavy loss of officers and men.
The diary of events at Mafeking up
to Nov Il has arrived. 1t gives little
that is new. At that date Col Baden
Powell had no idea of being relieved
for fortnight, or perhaps for a month.
Both Mafeking and Kimberley, how
ever. seem to be quiet.
Later details regarding the Arundel
reconnaissance say that the Beers
there were engaged in destroying the
railway. One account says that after
the retirement. an ambulance train
with doctors was sent out from Naa1rw
Po0rt. If this We're So the British
casualties must have exceeded three
The situation in Natal remains OBJ
scure. Fighting is reported both at
Estcourt and Ladysmith. 1t at first
reported that heavy firing had been
heard in the direction Of Willow
Grange. leading to belief that Gen.
Hildward had made a sortie. Later
dispatches announce that Gen. White
sorted from Ladysmith and inflicted
a demoralizing defeat upon the Beers.
1t would be premature to give full
credence to either report. What is
quite certain is that Ladysmith, Est
court and Mooi River station are still
and the Beers seem able, after
detaching enough troops to hold the
three British forces aggregating 1900
men to push on toward Pietermaritz-
burg with some 1000 men.
A disquieting feature of the whole
is the fact that all the ad-
British generals report meet
ing the Beers in force. In view of the
brilliant success of Gen. Joubert in
partially paralyzing the receiving COL
lmns. the question is being asked what
would have happened had he at the
outset of the war, instead of sitting
down before Ladysmith, pushed on to
Gen. Gatacre's report that the Dutch
are rising increases public anxiety, as

THE DEWEY ARCH.
Will Perpetuate Dewey's Fame-Abuse oil the
Admiral Deplored.

New York. Nov, 23.-Col. VIM. Con-
ant Church, chairman of the executive
committee for the perpetuation of the
Dewey arch, made a lengthy statement,
today, in regard to the relation of the
arch to Admiral Dewey. THE arch"
he said. lis to be the Dewey arch in
the sense it has always been. 1t is
certain that the fame of Admiral
Dewey and the battle of Manila bay is
to be commemorated in the arch and
there is little doubt that it will be
known as the Dewey arch just as the
Trafalgar column in London is called
the Nelson monument" Respecting
the storm of abuse heaped on the ad-
miral over the transfer of his home in
Washington, Col. Church said: 1T is
a shameful attack. There was no ex
cuse for it and it will not lessen our
love and respect for him or change us
in our purpose to build this arch for
him and his honor"

Skowhegan. Me. Nov. 23.-(SpeciaD.
The capacity of the Coburn woolen
mill is to be increased % per cent. The
mill is now one of the largest in this
section of the State and employs 200

been rushed with orders and it has
been found that in order to keep up
with the orders it will be necessary to
add more machinery, which will at once
be done, with the result that the ca

increase in the number of machines
will necessitate the employment of new
