mnnds VIII March on TarIac,
the Filipino headquarters.

MANILA. Nov. 6.-Last evening a
fleet of transports and gunboats left Ma
Mia for the most important expedition
of the autumn campaign Its destina-
tion Is supposed to be Dagupan or some
other northern port.
General Wheaton commands. with a
brigade consisting of the Thirteenth in
fantry, the Thirty infantry, two
guns of the Sixth artillery and two Cat
linga The transports Sheridan, Fran
cisco de Reyes and Aztec carry the
troops, with the gunboat Helena as es-
cort.
\ dispatch boat was sent ahead to ar
range rendezvous with the United
States cruiser Charleston and the other
warshps that are patrolling the north
coast of Luzon.
The landing will be made under cover
OF the guns of the fleet. 1t is assumed
here that the purpose of the expedition
is TO move down the Dagupan. Manila
railroad toward Tarlac or to prevent
Aguinaldo's forces making another base
farther north.
Since the beginning Of hostilities il
has been the unanimous opinion of mill
tary experts here that Dagupan should
be made a base of operations but suffi-
cient troops have heretofore been lack
ing. With Generals Wheaton, MacAr-
thur and Lawton moving upon Tarlac
from three directions and the mountains
hemming in the other side the insurgent
capital will soon become untenable.
Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his
headquarters to the rich tobacco country
at the northern end of the island. Pos
sibly he may slide around General Law
tons front to the southern provinces, but
as MacArthur's and Lawton's troops are
spread across the country from Angeles
TO Cabsnatuan it will be difficult for the
insurgents to escape
Should the concerted operations sue
ceed organized insurrection on large
scale should be at an end early next
spring. although guerrilla warfare is
likely to continue for n long time. No
one anticipates that the Filipinos will
make many hard battles.
Two columns of General MacArthur's
division yesterday took MagalanG. about
six miles northeast of Angeles. Colonel
Smith. with two battalions of the Seven.
teenth infantry, two guns of the First ar
tillery and a body of engineers. advanced
from Angeles. Major O'Brien. with a
battalion of the Seventeenth infantry
and two troops of the Fourth cavalry,
moved from Calulut.
Colonel Smith killed II insurgents,
wounded 12S and captured 30. as well as
taking lot of insurgent transportation.
Major O'Brien killed 40 insurgents,
wounded many and took 2S prisoners.
The Americans had IL men wounded.

WHITE DOING WELL.
London Hears Encouraging
News From Ladysmith.
BRITISH MAKE BRILLIANT SORTIES.
A Cessation of Hostilities Since Fri
day Is Reported-Daily Fighting
at MafekinR, but British Garri-
son Safe-Boer Treachery.

LONDON, Nov. S.-Last nights well
come dispatches from the front have rent
the veil of gloom enveloping Ladysmith,
showing the British garrison not merely
standing on the logged defensive, but
executing a series of brilliant sorties.
Accounts from different sources agree
that the laconic official description of
Thursdays engagement as IAN effective
shelling of the Boer laager" was unduly
modest.
1t appears that General Sir George
Stewart White sent u strong force of
cavalry and infantry to attack the Beers
at Tatham's farm. about ten miles TO the
northwest. near Bester's, and apparently
achieved a surprise, the Beers being
caught on the open veldt and cut to
pieces and their camp captured. Encour-
aged by this success General White de-
cided to risk an even more important en-
gagement on the following day, which
was again justified by success.
Ladysmith had been isolated and a Bo-
er force had intercepted the railway be-
tween Ladysmith and Colenso. This force
on Friday had descended upon Colenso
and. as shown by the dispatches from
Estcourt, had compelled hurried aban-
donment Of Colenso and a retirement of
the British to Estcourt.
General White had ascertained that
the Beers were attacking Colenso. but he
was not aware Of the British retirement.
He had determined. therefore, to attack
the Beers in the rear, thus hoping TO
achieve the double object of drawing off
an attack upon the weak garrison of Co
lenso and possibly reopening communi-
cation southwark.
The Beers had advanced southward un-
til they had occupied the hills north of
Tugela river and dominating Colenso on
the other side of the stream. The hills
slope to a plain that reaches to the
banks of the Tugela.
General Whites division caught the
Beers in the rear, and after the hills had
been shelled the British infantry stormed
the position. Meanwhile the British cav
airy swept around the hills. and as the
rstreating enemy descended into the plain
with British bayonets behind them and
the river in front Of them, they were
charged by the cavalry and seem to have
perished almost to a man. The British
then returned to Ladysmith without COM
ing into touch with the Colenso garrison,
which had retired to Estcourt.
Sundays dispatch from Estcourt. how
ever, showed that an armored train had
been sent back to Colenso TO repair the
line, and the next news may possibly be
of the restoration of communication with
Ladysmith.
While the British troops were thus en-
gagged in successful endeavors to wipe
out the Nicholson's Mex disaster. the sit
uation inside Ladysmith, as shown by an
official dispatch from the general at Est
court, was most satisfactory, encouraging
a hope that Sir George White may yet
completely retrieve his shaken reputation
and that his force may emerge trium-
phant from the ordeal through which it is
now nassing.

TO go at them and keep at them until the

islands have been exaggerated to our peo-

is such that there is great variety of
