Captain Browpell received Friday night
100 blanks to be used by soldiers who have
claims against the state Of Vermont for ex-
penses in procuring medical attendance,
nursing ar d medicines before they were mus
tered out of the United States service. Ia
order to enable the state to be reimbursed
by the United States government for any
money expended in this way it is necessary
that all these blanks be ex. cuted in duplicate
and no claim will be allowed ard paid by the
state unless it is made in duplicate. In the
matter of nursing it is said that many claims
will be made BY members of families who
rendered their time and service in nursing
the soldiers without any expt citation of rec
onpense at the time such service was rem
der-d. Spe cial attention is called TO the fact
that the legislature did rot intend to reim-
burse the members of any family for services
Of this Kind which were rendered in the
ordinary family relation but it contemplated
only expenses that were actually incurred by
the soldier.

SEIZURE OF SuBio.
Important Capture by General Grants
Command,

Manila, Dec. 13.-The advance
guard of General Grants command,
under Major Spence, arrived at Olon-
gapo, Subig bay, at night, December
Q, which place was occupied with lit
tie resistance, the enemy fleeing. Ma
jor Spence had an arduous march over
the mountain trails.
Yesterday morning the Baltimore
and Oregon and chartered transport
arrived at Olongapo from Manila. The
navy was disappointed to find the
army in possession of the place, which
they had hoped to capture. A detach-
ment of marines, under Captain Myers,
occupied the navy-yard at Olongapo,
and will hold and occupy it as naval
station. The yard consists of seven
new, large buildings, and some repair
and machinery shops, all damaged by
the bonn bardment of September %.
During the morning of December 10
the navy transported Major Spence's
command from Olongapo to the town
of Subig. five miles distant. The en-
emy was seen deserting Subig as the
troops landed, and the latter occupied
it without resistance. They found the
place abandoned by the retreating en-
emy, who fred a few. shots. The
Americans deployed to the right and
left of the town, and killed one of the
enemy.
General Grant and the remainder of
his command arrived at Olongapo yes.
terday afternoon. He will proceed to
Subig and join Major Spence. General
Grant will move north along the coast,
and will effect a juncture with the
Twenty fifth infantry, under Colonel
Andrew S. Burt, who was reported
eight miles from Iba, December z.
The enemy encountered in General
Grants advance fled to the mountains
and scattered. General Grant is not
garrisoning the towns he occupies. Nc
casualties are reported in his command.

Lake Steamer Missing.

Fort Colborne, Ont, Dec. lit is
believed here. tonight that the Cana.
dian steamer Niagara has foundered on
Lake Erie and that all hands were lost.
The cew comprised 16 persons, all told.
Of these, Captain Henry McGlory,
master of the lost steamer, is the only
one known here. The Niagara had a
cargo of lumber and shingles, bound
from Georgian bay to Buffalo. Tuesday
the Niagara was sighted off Long Point
in the heavy gale and snow storm. The
steamers Orion and M. T. Greene ar
rived this afternoon from Buffalo, and
report passing through a quantity of
wreckage. 1t consisted of lumber,
shingles and pieces of wooden
steamer. The Niagara is the only boat
known to be missing.

Is in Favor of Taylor.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 1.-THE state
board of elections tonight gave out its
official findings that w. s. Taylor, for
governor, and the rest of the Republi-
can ticket, have been elected on the
face of the returns. Commissioners
Ellis and Pryor signed the majority re-
port, in which they held that. as a
board of canvassers. they have no right
to go behind the returns of the county
boards, that their duties are purely
ministerial as canvassers, and that the
face of the returns, as received by them
from the counties, shows the election
of the Republican state ticket. Ac-
cordingly, the report says, certificates
of election were ordered issued to each
candidate thereon.

BATTERIES SAVED GATACRE
His Artillery Arrived in the
Nick Of Time.
VAS TREAcHERousLY GUIDED
Against Superior Numbers Opinions
of the Press-EngIand Depressed.

London, Dec. 13.-Later details re-
garding the disaster to General Cat
acres column show that but for the
magnificent work of the British artil-
lery the disaster would have been far
more extensive, as the incessant Boer
fire in the midst of repulsed infantry
ultimately led to disorder, which only
escaped developing into rout through
the batteries of artillery occupying suc-
cessive positions, covering the retreat,
thus drawing portion of the Boer's
CALLING fire.
Apparently, the British were set at
an impossible task, and We're treacher-
ously guided. After trying march
and being under arms 16 hours, they
attacked the wrong part of the Boer po-
sition, where the hill was impregnable,
and the burghers were estimated to
number 5000 men instead of 500, as
spies had reported. There is little in
the story to mitigate the immense hu-
initiation caused by the episode, which
as almost an exact counterpart of the
battle of Nicholson's Mex. The war
Office was besieged by anxious relatives
today, and successive editions of the
newspapers were eagerly scanned.
Men and women are equally persistent
in pleading for information, but the
authorities either do not possess any,
or are not prepared to publish it at
present.
The affair has caused a most de.
pressing influence everywhere, not ex.
cepting the stock exchange, where
consols were at the lowest price in
many years, and South African securi.
ties slumped, not SO much on account
of the military reverse, which is re-
trievable, but owing to profound appre
hension as to its political effect. Nc
great surprise would now be felt il

NO HEslTANcY IN TRADE.
Usus1 ShrInkage at End of the Yea.
Not Apparent.


Not Apparent.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The approach of a new
year usually brings SO much of hesi-
fancy in business that the small shrink
age this year is surprising. Probably
never before have the productive forces
of the country been SO largely covered
by contracts at this date, inducing
employment and profit far into the
coming year. This results not from
any mere speculative excitement, but
from actual demands for consumption
running far beyond the producing ca
pacity hereafter, and pushing it to re-
markable expansion. The increase in
foreign trade has been significant, COM
pared with the increase of $24, 900, 600
in payments through clearinghouse.
For the week the payments have been
20.3 per cent larger than last year, and
88.1 per cent larger than in 1892.
Demand for cars and other railway
equipment is enormous, and also for
shipping, both lake and ocean. Tin is
weak at 27Ac, and copper declined to
1870, but lead and spelter. are
stronger.
Wool has advanced further, with
much speculative buying, though most
manufacturers have supplied wants for
the present, and are less disposed to
purchase at prices now averaging
higher than at any time since June Is,
1891.
Wheat has risen Sc, and corn a frac-
ton, with decline in Western re-
ceipts of both. Atlantic exports OF
wheat this week, -four included, were
only $3.50, ,667 bushels, against $685.
767 last year, and Pacific exports $780,
172 bushels, against 556, 52S bushels
last year.
Failures for the week have been 221
in the United States, against 248 last
year, and S3 in Canada, against 20 last
year.

Wrong.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-In response
to an invitation to attend an anti-im-
perialist mass meeting to be held at the
Academy of Music, on the centennial
anniversary of the death of Washing
ton, December 4, the following letter
has been received from ex-Secretary of
State John Sherman, dated at Washing
ton:
81 have strong conviction that the
president erred in sending soldiers to
the Philippines to take possession of
their country. The United States had
wisely, as ] think, assisted the Fill
pinos in driving the Spaniards out of
the Philippine islands, and should, I
think, have aided them in protecting
their country against all assaults. He
no doubt was advised to adopt the
measures taken, and all can do is to
express my regrets. Yours very truly,

ENGLAND is DEPRESSED.

London Papers All Regard the Defeat
as q Most Serious One.
London, Dec. 13.-Discussing the
defeat of General Gataere at Storm
berg, the Daily Mail says:
"Quite apart from the loss of 600
fighting men, the unex peted Boer sue
cess will probably cause more gen.
eral and serious movement among the
Cape Dutch. The government must
promptly face this by the immediate
dispatch of further troops"
The Daily News says: .'The reverse
General Gatacre has suffered is sadly
emphatic commentary ON the peculiar
difficulty of military operations in a
semi-disaffected country. The en-
emy's spies are everywhere, and no.
where can we rely confidently on any
counter information. General Gatacre
seems to have been completely trapped.
OF course he will Immediately be rein
forced"
The Daily Chronicle says: "There
is only too much reason for fear that
this is the worst illustration we have
had yet of inadequate equipment and
1uSuuCleuG scouting. HOW laT buls
disaster was due to lack of Judgment
on the spot and how far to lack of ar
tillery is not quite clear, but the pa
tient public cannot help reading that
General Methuen's victory at Modder
river was won by artillery reinforce
ment at the critical moment, and all
they would like to know is how many
times this particular lesson is to be
learned"
The Standard says: "The event is in
the highest degree deplorable. 1t
will tell against us unfavorably in the
Free State, among the colonial Dutch
and even among the natives. A great
deal of evidence has been accumulat-
ing during the past weeks to show how
deeply the colony, or at least the north
ern and western portions of it, are
honeycombed by dissatisfaction. Our
generals have to cope with a rebel col
ony as we'll as hostile republics, and
must take measures to lay their plans
in accordance with the details"

They Nav Be vice-admira1s.

New York, Dec. ia special tc
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley, during an inter
view with Senator Wellington, ex.
pressed himself in favor of reviving the
grade of vice-admiral in the interest
of both Rear-Admiral Sampson an
Rear-Admiral Schley. He believe
that this is the simplest solution of the
whole Sampson-Schley controversy,
and it is expected that Senator Well
ington will introduce a bill in few
days providing for the appointment ol
two vice-admirals without specifying
names.
. The president very frankly said that
if such bill became law, he would
promptly nominate both Sampson and
Schley in the order named. This ar.
rangement, both the president and Sen.
ator Wellington believe, will meet the
approval of majority of the friends oi
both officers.
