ofthe settlement of the Alaskan bound
airy question there will be no meeting

Admiral Dewey, on the Advice of
His Physician, Will Remain
Quietly at Home.

People of That City Greatly Disap-

Have Rear Admiral Schley Come,
Instend-Home for Admiral Dewey
Purchasel.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Admiral Dew
ey, on the advice of his physician, has
Cancelled the dates for his visits to
Philadelphia and Atlanta and will ac-
cept no more invitations of this sort be-
fore next spring. The following official
statement on the subject was made at
his Office here Saturday:
Acting on the advice of his physicians
Admiral Dewey finds that it will be neces-
sary to cancel the engagements he has en-
tered into to visit certain cities and to de-
cline all invitations for the present. He
finds that the mental strain incident to
such visits is seriously affecting his
health
TWAS said by one of Admiral Dewey's
friends that this is not to be taken as
an indication of any alarming change
in the admirals health, but that to a
man of his temperament the excite
ment and mental strain incident to
the various public functions in which
he has been participant have proved
unusually trying. He will remain as
quiet as possible for the balance of the
winter, and it is hoped by next spring
he will be able to take short trip
south and visit some of the places whose
inhabitants have been so anxious to
welcome hi
The invita- lions for his Philadelphia
and Atlanta trips were cancelled by
telegraph, and the situation was ex-
planned to the Charleston delegation,
which was anxious for him to include
South Carolina in his southern journey.
The admiral's indisposition will have
no effect on Lieut.. Brumby's visit to
Atlanta.
Atlanta Greatly Disappointed.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 23.-The news that
Admiral Dewey's health would prevent
him from filing his Atlanta engage
ment was received here with much sor-
row and sincere regret. The city had
been beautifully decorated and all prep
arations to welcome the admiral with
an imposing military and civic show
had been made.
Rear Admiral schley, who has accept
ed an invitation to visit Atlanta, was
asked to make his trip next week, fill.

according to a dispatch from Cape
Town, has asked permission to assem-
BILE the other Basuto chiefs, with view
of inviting them to pledge loyalty to
the queen
This is assumed to be forerunner of
a Basuto movement, and the Orange
Free State burghers near the Basuto
border are said to be in state of con.
sternation, fearing that at any mo-
ment the Basutos, despite imperial in
structions to the contrary, will take the
field and invade the Free State.
Depart for Unknown Point.
A dispatch from Cape Town an
nounces that British force, with field
guns, landed Friday at Simons Town
and took train for the north. The
exact destination was not revealed, but
probably it is some point on the south
ern frontier of the Orange Free State,
where the Beers are assembling.
News from Rhodesia.
The first news for long time from
Rhodesia comes in telegram from
Tuli, dated October 16. The dispatch
says:
Maj. Prison, from Rhodes Drift, with so
Beers, passed Pont Drift this morning,
shouting that they would make the
British sit up. Another body of Beers has
crossed the river at Bains Drift, and is
marching on Mac Loutsie, where the post
master declares that he thinks he can hold
the Beers at bay. The garrison is throwing
up entertainments"
This shows that the Beers have thus
far achieved nothing in the direction of
Rhodesia.

Should the United States through

the dutch republic of South Africa in
her effort to overthrow the love of
liberty and right of self-government
so deeply cherished by the Beers, it is
altogether probable that English rep
resentatives would ask Mr.. Mckinley
what he is doing in the Philippines.

of VENEZUELA, UncleSam was in position

toward the Philippines is as equivocal
as is the English toward the Beers of

lodged TO He Best Boat.

London, Oct. 90. - The marquis of
Dufferin and Ava, commodore of the
Royal Ulster Yacht club, replying to a
request for an expression of opinion re-
garding the contest for the Americas
cup, telegraphed:
II can only offer my warmest congratu-
lations to the yachting world of America
on the success of their Ship
The Edinburgh Scotsman, comment
ing upon the result, says:
mo expert explanations or excuses can
alter the broad fact, which impartial lay
men Will recognize, that the Columbia has
proved herself to be the better boat by Win
ming three races off the reel. American
yacht builders and yachtsmen are entitled
to full credit for their success
The history of the contest seems to
show that however fine boat British de-
signers may produce the Americans can
go 1t one better. The ordeal of sailing
across the Atlantic and racing in strange
winds and waters evidently constitutes a
handicap that British yachtsmen do not
fully appreciate
The Glasgow Herald, after congrat-
ulating American yachtsmen and
thanking them for the courtesy and
good temper with which the race was
conducted, says:
The Shamrock had her chance yester-
day, but failed. Fife followed up the orders
OF Watson with the Valkyrie III. He will
bring back many lessons which will be
turned to good account in the future"
The Glasgow Mail says:
The Americans defended the cup fairly
and squarely; and Great Britain need not
be ashamed to be called a nation of shop
Keepers after the chivalrous conduct of Sir
Thomas Upton"

The third and final defeat fell very fiat
