Gen. Joubert always noted for his per

He appeared in a drunken condition,
the official dispatch to the war depart
ment says, at the Presidio, San Fran
cisco, where he had gone under orders
to join transport for Manila.
The order sending him to Cen.
headquarters was issued as in
all cases of officers ordered to the Phil
ippines, that Shields might secure mile-
age from his old station, Fort Wayne.
1t was expected he would leave the
coast at an early day, being one of ten
chaplains of the army who had failed
to volunteer their services to serve with
the troops in the Philippines. The Rev.
Mr.. Shields attracted attention in the
Mckinley campaign as an eloquent
orator in Pennsylvania, and since his
appointment he has stumped some of
the western states, where his services
We're always in demand.
His appointment was questioned by
the officials OF the Methodist church,
but his party services and the fact that
he is an able man had secured for him
a great deal of influence. Last year he
was in Washington before a retiring
board, and while here was arrested
twice in one day for intoxication. He
was released through the efforts OF
friends. who accepted his explanation
that he had been taking liquor under
prescription of his physician. 1t Is un-
derstood that he was recommended for
retirement, but the political influence
he commanded interceded in his behalf,
and he was retained on the active list.
1t is possible that the present charges
will result in his trial by court-martial
or at least in the revocation Of his Or
ders to go to Manila.

ANOTHER BoER TRAP.
British Ran Armored Train Into
Enemy's Trap churchill Cap


Encmy's Trap Ihurchill Cap
tured.
London, Nov. 17.-While the sensa-
tional dispatches respecting the adj
vance of a portion of Gen. Joubert's
force from Colenso and the investment
of Estcourt have not been confirmed.
the Beers have repeated the earliest in
cident of the war by attacking and de-
stroying the armored train which has
been used for accommodating purposes.
The earliest accounts OF this affair diff
fer in details. but 1t is evident the train
was suddenly fired upon between Est
court and Colenso and probably de-
rallied. The train gun was disabled, ac-
cording to one account, and the men
We're forced into hard fight, in which
there We're serious losses in killed and
wounded and prisoners as well. Lieut.
Churchill is supposed to be among the
captives. 1t was good Boer trap and
the British force apparently was sur
prised. Estcourt has already been re-
inforced and it is not likely the Beers
will attempt to invest Ii, as the Mo-
hawk has arrived at the Cape with the
Twelfth lancers and the cavalry will be
availabl in three days for the relief
column.
Reports from the reconnaissance from
the Orange river to Belmont accempa-
ny the account OF the attack on the ar
mored train above Estcourt, and serve
eto indicate that Kimberley as we'll as
Ladysmith will be relieved before a
general advance is made through the
Orange Free State. Military experts
now agree that the two exposed garri-
sons on each flank will be delivered
from attack by the enemy in superior
strength before the original plan for the
| invasion of the two republics and the
occupation of their capitals is carried
out, and that the latter movement will
be deferred until the end of the year.

You can trust Buller," said one OF

Beers to force him to fight where they
will have strong defensive positions in
mountain passes. He will not be drawn
away from the open country, where the

their own way with irresistible force"
| A similar view was expressed by a
prominent department chief. who spoke
of the necessity of overruning both the
republics before the Dutch population
could be impressed with the hopeless
ness of the struggle and induced to
surrender unconditionaily. Gen. Bull
