the following dispatch this evening from
General Sir Redvers Butler, dated Cape

one piece OF artillery at nearly 1900 yards
range. Two guns of the Diamond Field
Artillery We're then sent in support of Col
Turner, but the enemy's guns had ceased

cur guns did not come into action. The
enemys artillery fire was not damaging and
the shooting was bad. Our casualties in the
kenilworth engagement were limited to
Major Ayleff. Of the Cape police, who was
wounded in the neck. He is expected to
recover. Later In the day, our pickets say,
the Boers carried off six dead from one
spot, probably killed by our Maxim. The
total Boer loss was probably heavy, but had
not been estimated by Col. Kekewich.

to state the enemy's loss, but believes these
must have been severe, judging from the
precipitate retreat Of the Beers. AT 6:1O y.

artillery from Hampers Dam, on Otto's

BOMBARDMENT OF LADYSMITH.
Heard at Estcourt All During the
Day Last Thursday.

ESrcOURT, Natal. Nov. 9. Morning
Heavy firing is now proceeding II the direc-
ton OF Ladysmith. 1t began at daybreak.
Some reports are so much heavier than
others previously heard as to lead to gen.
eral belief that the British heavy naval
guns are again active. The safe arrival at
Ladysmith Of Lieutenant Hooper, of the
Fifth Lancers. shows that communication
with the garrison is possible. He was anx-
ious to rejoin his regiment. and started
hence, accompanied by Natal policeman.
They succeeded in traversing the Boer lines.
Afternoon--A party which rode out several
miles about noon 10 observe the lombard
ment of Ladysmith could see a Long Tom
a forty-pounder, posted on the railway side
OF the Bulwara, firing at intervals of six
times a minute. Another gun was engaged
a little distar ce away. Puffs OF smoke were
discernible on the opposite side, showing
that Ladysmith was withstandinS big
bombardment. The locality of the town was
nothing but a huge caldron of smoke.

BY mistake our fire went down into the
valley. killing a member Of the Cape police
and wounding another. The British finally
retired on the reservoir, where two guns
were brought up to shell the Beers. The
result Is not yet known. Meanwhile some
Beers had occupied Hampers Dam, firing
with one gun on Otto's kopie, but not get
ting the range they did no damage. 1t is
believed that six Beers were killed in the
first fight. The Beers now surround Kim
berley in great numbers. and are bent on
lifting cattle and harassing the British.
New alarm signals were sounded at 10
o'clock this morning. the enemy having
been sighted in greater numbers and close
10 our outoosts. They fired on a patrol
under MAJ Peakman, which engaged
them, but the firing was at long range. The
only casualty was the wounding Of Major
Ayleff. OF the Cape police. The enemy
lifted forty cattle northeast of the Sani-
tarium. subsequently firing eight shells in
the neighborhood of FeIsmeads farm at
Kenilworth. They did no damage and re-
tired Later they fired on a number of con-
victs who were working near the Santa
rum. and eventually went off with a large
number OF cattle and donkeys. The Beers
are well mounted, aid from the dips In the
veldt they appear and disappear with mar
velous rapidity, bent on lifting cattle. The
demonstration made to the southwest to-
day was only feint to cover the unsuc-

the shells falling short.s

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Tn the Slight Money Stringency Re-
ported at New York.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Treasury Off
cials expect that within short time the
money drawn from the financial institutions
of the East for the movement of crops and
other purposes in the West will begin TO
find its way to New York, and the apparent
stringency IN money will be accordingly
laxed. This return. which this year they
say appears TO be somewhat later than
usual, will be brought about by the pay
ment of the debts contracted by business
men in the West, whose notes either al
ready have matured, or are closely ap-
preaching maturity. Meantime, the au-
thorities here declare that no exigency ex-
lists for any relief measures on the part Of
the government, and pending an exigency,
no action In that direction is contemplated.
a leading official OF the Treasury Depart
ment, speaking of the matter tonight, said:
''In our opinion, soon as the great
amount of money which has been used in
the West begins 10 return to the banks in
the East, money will be easier and matters
resume their normal condition. The outlays
of the government are about equal to its
receipts, which shows that the department
is not boarding any great amount of money.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year the
receipts have exceeded the expenditures by
about s6,OO0O00. while during the month of
November the expenditures have exceeded
the receipts by between s3000,00O and $1,000
600. The fact that the holdings of the New
York banks are S2,500,000 below their legal
requirements is not a matter of special sig
nificance. If they were that amount in ex-
cess of the requirements the difference
would be only So .000-not a great amount
when their total legal holdings are approx
imately sls0.000,000 So you see that question
is one more of sentiment than anything
else. Their holdings might be yet consid-
erably reduced and no harm result, as the
matter of holdings is one which is fixed by
the controller Of the currency. Had this def
icit appeared before the great demand from
the West for funds took place, then the
question Is which might have caused
some concern, but all this want is now sup
piled, and the natural result must be that
this money will soon find its way to the
centers whence ii was taken.'

A DEAD MANS VOTE.
Singular Complication Growing Out
of n Death mt the Polls.

EASTON. Nd, Nov. 12.-It is claimed in
Talbot county that the election returns give
Darlington, Democrat. for states attorney
two over Mullikin, Republican. The Repub
licans claim that his unofficial majority is
but one, and that this vote was the one
Judge ]. B. Bennett had marked before he
was stricken and which was afterward put
in the ballot box and counted in the re-
turns. This ballot was protested by the
election officials, and the Mulikin people
say If the official count shows a majority
of only one for Darlington or tie between
him and Mullikin they will protest Judge
Benefits vote in court. The Democrats say
they will welcome such action, as they
claim there were several ballots apparently
cast in that precinct for the Democratic
ticket which the election officials threw out
as void, which ballots they believe the court
would order recorded for the Democratic
ticket. The interesting question involved in
the matter is the counting of the ballot of
a man who died in the act Of voting.

Voyage from Manila.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 12.-The Tennes-
see volunteers landed to-day from the
transport Indiana and went into camp at
the Preside preparatory to being mustered
out. Five days before the Indiana reached
this port the men of the regiment claim that
provisions ran short and that they were on
scanty rations. This story is denied by
some Of the officers. who state that the
men received full rations. 1t is stated
that last Sunday night the military pris-
oners, who were taken aboard at Cavte,
broke into the storeroom where they opened
some cases OF whisky. They then broke
down the rails of their cell and scattered
them over the ship. 1t took about an hour
TO beat them into submission. AS soon
as the Indiana came into port they were
taken off and placed in confinement at AL
carez island.
