SITUATION CRITICAL
Killing in Arizona May Result in Com
 plications

Dallas, Tex, October 23-A special to the News from Fl Paso, Tex, says:
 Adyices from Bisbe, Arizona, tonight describe the situation at Mace as critical. It has been learned that James Ryan, killed by the Mexicans yesterday, was British subject and steps are being taken bv British -,lbjects at fNano to have the ar fair investigated by their government. Joe Rhodes and George Marts, captured by the Mexicans, are still in jail on the Mexican side of the line and are kept incommuni cado. The cowboys on this side of the bor- der learned today that the prisoners would be removed to an interior town for trhai and they are determined not to let the re- ,ooval take place, as the method of eXecut- tne prisoners in Mexico is well known to them and they fear to trust their friends to the glards, knowing 1t means cenpain dea .t
 An effort will be made to rescue t'he pris- oners unless they are released. Fully 100 cowboys armed with Windhesters, are as- sembled at Naco tonight and threats of violence are heard on every side. The Mexican garrison has been reinforced by 200 rurals, fifty cordadees and a number of guards. Colonel Kosterlitzky and General Fechio of the Mexican army in Sonora, have been ordered from ,Magdalena and are now on their way to Naco Both off- cers have been engaged in the campaign against tine Yaqui Indians. Colonel Kos terhtzky is known tine Roosevelt of Mexico Serious trouble is impending at Naco and unless United States troops pre- vent it, a bloody encounter is sure to re- suit.

BATTLE OF ELANDSLAAGTO
War Correspondent Gives Vivid Descrp
 tion of the Fighting

London, October 24.-The Daily Mail pulp fishes the following description of the battle of Eandslaagte from It's special war cor respondent, G. w. Stevens, filed at Lady, smith.
 '4The battle was a brilliant, complete suc- cess. The Boers numbered from 1,200 to 200O and probably had about a hundred killed and a hundred and fifty wounded.
 '.The fight itself was like practical illus tration of handbook tactics, each arm rep resented doing its proper work to perfec- ton. The Gordon Highlanders in their at- tack advanced in magnificent order. They were immediately saluted with a heavy fire, which told from the first Their major fell with bullet In his leg, but as he lay where he fell he lit his pipe and smoke placidly while the advance contixued. As man after man dropped, supports were rushed into the firing line, our men dart ing from cover to cover splendidly and ever advancing. 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 1n- to the firing line, Manchesters, Devons and the light horse all mixed, with bugles blow ing the advance, bagpipes shrieking and the battle confused surge in which men swept forward yelling their battle cry. Mean- while squadrons of lancers and dragons lapped around the Boer left flank catching the enemy as they retired in disorder, gor- ing and stamping them to pieces"

IN TIGHT CORNER
General Yule Probably Confronted by
 Joubert's Men

London, October 23.-A dispatch from La dysmith, Natal, dated 4:15 yesterday after noon, has just been received. It is literal repetition of Capetowns Glencoe advices of yesterday, and it is regarded as some what ominous that nothing new has devel. oped beyond that already published Gen eral Yule is evidently in tight corner, as he now has or had to face the main Boer army under General Jouberr.
 General Sir George Stewart White, the British commander-in chief in Natal, will undoubtedly detach part of the forces which were victorious at Elandsfaagt to his assistance Such a detachment, how ever, will leave Ladysmbth poorly protected against the threatened attack from the west, as General Hunted on Saturday wired that the departure of the forces to Elands- laa9t left him with only a couple of bat talfons of regulars, a mountain battery and 300 native volunteers to defend the town, which Is the British base in north Natal. Further news therefore. is anxiously awaited.

WATSON SUSTAINED
Rear Admiral Had Right to Send Taus
 sig Home

Washington. October 23.-The incident that occurred in the Philippines between Rear Admiral Watson, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic station, and Commander r. D. Taussig, in command of the Bennington. owing to misunderstanding as to the way in which certain orders of the admiral were to be carried out, as result of which Conn mander Taussig was relieved of his com- mand and ordered to return to the United States, has been closed by the navy de- partment's action in the following manner:
 The rear admiral's action Is held to be within the discretionary authority vested in him by the navy regulations, 1t being impraoticable to have court of inquiry, and owing to the present importance of the Asiatic station, making 1t indispensable that harmony should be maintained in his command.
 Commander Taussig is regarded, from the time of his arrival in the United States, as having been detached from duty on a foreign station. He has now been given appropriate shore duty in connection with the lighthouse bureau and when practica- ble will have command of another vessel commensurate with his rank, to serve elsewhere than on the Asiatic station

 By considerable expenditure Garabed says he was able to reach United States con- sul He says the consul not only refused to protect him, but ordered him to leave the country as the Turks had directed on the very next steamer or be incarcerated by the consul in the American jail until the consul could place him aboard a steamer to some foreign port.

 dom-Proclamation Issued
COLONEL ARANGO'S SPEECH

Havana October 23-A largely attended meeting was held today to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of the movement for independence. Dr. Sas- pedes, of the University of Havana, who was one of the speakers, said that the Gu bans were not divided, inasmuch as those who advocated annexation or protectorate could not be classified as Cubans.
 Colonel Acea declared his belief that the American government would grant inde- pendence to Cuba. After the census had been taken the Washington government should be told that the time had arrived to make the island independent As for him self, he wanted either independence or death.
 Colonel Arango, who hissed at d recent meeting of delegates of the Cuban National league, said:
 ..I am sad of spirit account of the want of confidence my fellow citizens have shown in me, but I am ready to return love for hate If it were possible l would change my black skin for white one In ca1uron of boiling water, and 1 would even embrace Weyler if by so doing I could secure inde- pendence for Cuba. Believe me, fellow cit izens our organization is temple with a hundred doors all flung wide open for in- dependence.
 A meeting is being held this evening at tended by representative committees or the Cuban National league and the Cuban Ma tional party to decide when the delegates of both are to meet for conference.
 Civil governor of Havana, General Ruis Rivera, has issued a proclamation prohlb- iting cock fights. on the ground that sucn contests are against good morals ana good customs"

CAR SCARCITY
Coal Mines Taxing the Capacity of the
 Railroads

Coal Mines Taxing the Capacity of the
 Railroads
 Atlanta. Ga, October 23.-The scarcity Of ears with which the railroads have been coutending for sometime is becoming seri- ous in this section of the south The coal mines cannot get enough cars for shipment and consumers cannot get more than bare ly enough to keep mills and factories run ming. Coal has made d great advance in price and tGle car famine helps to keep the market up.
 There are more coal cars in service than ever before, but the demand for coal Is ex- traordinary. The iron furnaces and coke ovens and other industries in the Birming- ham district consume all the Alabama coal SO that consumers here have to rely on Georgia and Tennessee.
 All the railroads are hauling more freight than ever before, and they require more fuel than in previous years
 Many new cotton mills and other manu- featuring plants have been built in the south this year. Most of the mills are run ming overtime and this adds to the demand for fuel.
 The mines could keep ahead of the con- sumption if they could only get cars for shipping. ghe railroads are doing their best and they are n4ee1ng empties back to the mines as rapidly as possible. They are dis frlbuting what cars they have impartially, they say, and are trying to keep every sec tion of the country supplied.

KRUGER AND JOUBERT LEAD 5000
 BOERS IN AN ATTACK ON GLENCOE
General Yue, Commanding the Forces of Great Brtan Moves
 His Troops Back Into Better Defensive Position

Americans to remember that nine out of ten dispatches received from the seat of war come from British sources. I don't be- lieve that the Boers have been repulsed as badly as the press dispatches have stated. l realize as we'll as any one that Grea Britain Glas a tremendous power, and had she small nation like the Transvaal, lo- cated within reach of the guns of her ships, there would be a speedy ending of the war, but the Iransvaal Is a giant fortress in itself. The Boers are determined to maim- tain pheir independence, they are willing to sacrifice all and the fight will be a bloody one from the very start. England has much more difficult task than her war party is aware of and the truthful ness of this statement will be borne out by early events. l exieot to see most of the fighting done in British territory and expect further that the independence, com plete and everlasting, of The South African republic will be acknowledged by all na- tions of the earth"
