Manila, March This afternoon
General Hale's brigade continued tbe
work of driving out the rebels from
the country between the reservoir and
the water works, a distance of about
three miles. The country is now clear
on the left of the river, but the enemy
Is still in front CT General WTheatou's
line.
The fighting Of Hale's men today was
superb. The Wyoming men are en-
titled to especial praise.
Hale's brigade, which has been hold
ing the water works, advanced on San
Juan del Monte at $50 o'clock this
morning.
A conference Of regimental and bri-
gade commanders had decided upon the
attack, and General Hale's army swept
forward in the form or a "V," so that
the entire rebel forces might be encom-
passed and driven away in a body.
The position of the American forces
were as follows: On the west the Wyo-
ming regiment, on the northwest the
Nebraska regiment and Thirtieth in
fantry. On the river side a gunboat
was detailed for action to shell the
enemy in retreat.

the entire line swept down upon the
Filipinos.
Maintaining their fire for only a
short time after the charge. the rebels
leaped from their e~arthworks and fled,
closely pursued by the Wyoming and
other troops.
Retreat had been cut of in all direc-
lions save toward the Pasig river, and
as the insurgents turned that way they
were met with a pitiless fire from the
gunboats.
The infantry lines closed IN at once
from the east. In the woods the rebels
scattered into small bands and were
driven along the river front. Their loss
was very heavy.
In accordance with instructions to
the land and naval forces, a general or

CLEARS THE WAY
General Opinion That Chamber
lain's Latest Note Makes
Peace Possible,
Or at Least Opens an Avenue by
Which the Beers Can
Get Out.
If 1t Is Not Accepted the Next
Step Will Be a British
Ultimatum.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The general feel
ing, including that of the pro-Boers, as
indicated by articles in the afternoon
newspapers, is that the published dis
patch of the secretary of state for ;he
solonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, to the Brit
ish commissioner in South Africa, Sir
Alfred Minor, clears the way for pe,ce
if the Beers desire it. In any event, it
is pointed out, it affords further delay,
which in the case Of Great Britain is
certainly advantageous, as it gives time
for the reinforcement of the garrisens
at the cape. The papers generally, how
ever, express the hope that President
Kruger will now see his way to meet
Great Britain's views, and the West
minister Gazette, which is not an anti
Boer paper, says:
President Kruger and his advisers
still have chance Of securing peace
with independence"
Meanwhile, the dispatch of troops to
South Africa proceeds. Three field hat
teries arrived at Birkenhead and will
embark for Durham, Natal. A cable
gram from Cape Town says:
Quantities of stores and ammunition
are leaving here daily. The movement
of troops to Natal is merely precau-
tionary measure, to secure the coal
mines, and is in nowise in the nature Of
Q menace. There are no imperial troops
on the immediate border. Rumers Of
collisions should be received with eau.
ton"
A dispatch from Pretoria says that 9
Mauser rife, in the hands Of a burgher
who was practicing with y, burst re-
Gently, and nearly killed him, with the
result that great number OF burghers
are gravely concerned at the apparent
insecurity Of the now weapon. They
assert that the-cartridges are worthless
and are appealing to the government to
revert to. the Martini or investigate
and remedy the grievance. The Times
has dispatch from Johannesburg,
which asserts that the delay Is creating
the worst possible impression : in the
minds of the burghers, who tauntingly
boast that while Great Britain depre-
Gates delay upon the part Of the Beers,
she Intentionally and unnecessarily pro
longs the controversy because she is
afraid to follow up her own game of
bluff with the arguments of force.
Reports are heard on all sides Of tae
eagerness of the Beers to start hostili-
ties, and their postponement IL said to
be due to the restraining influence Of
General Joubert. It is added that it is
believed this influence cannot be exer-
cised much longer. There is circum-
rumor that General Joubert
has received imperative orders from the
armed burghers that unless he is pre-
pared to take the initiative within a
brief period he mustrelinquish his COM
mand of the army. This is looked on
as instructive indication of Boer feeling.

MIR. CHAMBERLAIN's NOTE.

Tells Kruger Further Negotiations ON
Old Lines Are Useless.
LoNpQT, Sept, 27.-The officials OF

text of the letter of the secretary OF
state for the colonies, Mr.. Chamber.
lam, to the British commissioner IN
South Africa, Sir;Alfred Miner, dated
Sept. 90. The British reply expresses
regret that her majesty's offer of Sept.
8 had been refused and says:
1.-THE object her majesty's govern.
ment had in view In the recent negotia.
tions has been stated in a manner which
cannot admit of misrepresentation, viz.
To obtain such substantial representa-
ton for the outlanders as will enable
them to secure for themselves that just
and fair treatment which was formally
promised them in 1881, and which her
majesty intended TO secure for them
when she granted privileges of
self-Government to the Transvaal.
No conditions less comprehensive than
these contained in the telegram of Sept.
s can be relied on to effect this object.
The refusal of the South African gov
eminent to entertain the offer thus
made, coming as it does after four
months Of protracted negotiations,
themselves the climax of five years OF
extended agitation, makes it useless to
further pursue the discussion on the
lines hitherto followed, and the i'm
perial government is now compelled to
consider the situation afresh and for.
mulate its own proposals for final set.
Element of the issues which have been
created in South Africa by the policy
constantly followed for many years by
the government of South Africa. They
will communicate the result of their
deliberations in later dispatch"

ADJUSTMENTS. A

At the Clunie Opera-hOuSe this even
ing Edwin Mayo and company in Frank
Mayo's dramatization of Mark Twain S
Southern story, "Pudd nhead Wilson"
che play was given here by the elder
Mayo shortly before his death. The
son is represented as a worthy sue
cessor of his talented father, who in
this community was greatly respected
ard esteemed as an artist and good
citizen. The charming drama, which is
rich in comedy lines, remarkable in
character drawing, is intense in its dra-
matte form. The story is founded up
on a most original theme, the theory
OF the thumb marks as means of per-
scnal Identification. Since the play was
first produced the theory has been taken
up by scientists and secret service men.
Probably Mark Twain did not think
W hen he wrote the story that it would
be taken seriously. Edwin Mayo's per-
fcrmance of the good-souled, clear-see-
ing Puddin'head is said to be one OF
the best creations the stage has seen
IN years, and he has with him the same
supporting company that played in the
production during the long run at the
Herald Square Theater, New York City.
Mayo, the eluer, created the part OF
Pudd' 'nhead and when he died it was
feared that the character would not be
revived But the younger Mayo has
dissipated that fear. He not only
closely resembles his father in personal
appearance, but he has the benefit of
training by that mastery actor. One
thing the play does that ought to deeply
interest the younger generation; it in
