A Cabinet Decision.

Washington, Oct. 26.-At the cabi-
net meeting today the condition of the
treasury in its relation to the stringency
of the money market was discussed.
Nothing will be done at present to re-
lieve the situation. as it is believed in
the natural course of events the heavy
war expenditures will reduce the large
surplus in the treasury.
The cabinet decided 10 allow vessels
purchased by American citizens to en-
gage in the Philippine inter-island
trade. Under the Laws of the United
States, foreign vessels cannot engage in
coastwise trade and as all trading ves-
sells in the Philippines few the Span
ish flag, much embarrassment resulted.
Many of these vessels have now passed
into American hands, and the secretary
of war will shortly issue an order per-
mitting them to fly the American flag
and enjoy all the privileges of Ameri.

patch from General Sir George Stewart
White to the Marquis of Landsdowne,
secretary of state for war, received last

''Ladysmith, Oct. 25.-Information
received yesterday showed that the
Beers had established themselves in
considerable numbers in an exceeding
ly strong position west of the main road
leading from Ladysmith to Dundee.
also had information that the Dundee
force, formerly commanded by General
Symons, and, since his wounding, COM
manded by General Yule, was falling
back on Ladysmith by way of the Help
makaar road, Beth and the valleys of
the Waschank and Sunday rivers, and
was expected to report at Sunday river
valley today.
81 therefore moved out with strong
force to cover the movement of Yule's
column. The enemy was discovered
about seven miles out of Ladysmth in q
position of great natural strength, west
of the road. When he saw that prepar-
ations were being made against him, he
opened fire with one gun with grea. ac-
curacy. Our artillery soon got into po-
sition and the gun was silenced. Our
troops were ordered to occupy strong
ridge, parallel to the enemy's position,
but nearer to the road.
II confined my efforts to occupying
him and hitting him hard enough to
prevent strong action against Yule's
command. Numbers of the enemy
fed to the west and the firing has prac-
tically ceased at 2 o'clock"

Should Helm ENGLAND.

New York, Oct. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Clifton r. Breckinridge, United States
minister to Russia during the second
Cleveland administration, in an inter-
view states that in case any nation or
combination of nations should attempt
to embarrass England in the present
war in South Africa, it would be the
imperative duty of the United States to
take the part of Great Britain and sus-
tain her with our whole moral and ma
terial strength. He said:
"Great Britain's action in South
Africa is in line with the duty and de-
velopment of the Anglo-Saxon race.
In her present struggle, she deserves
the unanimous support of the American
people. In case other European ma
tions should, through international
jealousies, attempt to retard her in the
clear and simple duty she is perform
ing at this time, the conduct of the
United States should be determined by
considerations mightier than mere po-
litical expediency or political preced-
ence.
1--WE should be enjoined by every
sentiment of patriotism and every tie
of racial kinship to stand shoulder to
shoulder with our brethren across the
sea-"

"The battle was a brilliant, COM

from 1900 to 1000, and probably had
about 100 killed and 100 wounded.
The fight itself was like a practical
illustration of handbook tactics, each
arm represented doing its proper work
to perfection.
"The Gordon Highlanders, in their
attack, advanced in magnificent order.
They were Immediately saluted with
heavy fire, which told from the first.
Their major fell with bullet in his
leg, but as he lay where he fell, he lit
q pipe and smoked placidly while the
advance continued. AS man after man
dropped, supports were rushed into the
firing line, our men darting from cover
to cover, splendidly led and ever ad-
vancing. Yet, as ridge after ridge was
won, the Highlanders still found new
ridge confronting them, and thus they
fought their bleeding way until the
final ridge was neared, with nearly
every officer down.
"Then, slamming every available
man into the firing line, Manchester.
Devoss and light horse all mixed, with
bugles chanting the advance, bagpipes
shrieking and the battle a confused
surge, our men swept yelling forward
and the position was won.
Meanwhile, squadrons of lancers
and dragons Tapped round the BOer left
flank, catching the enemy as they re-
tired in order, goring and stamping
them to pieces. And the commando
