AaERIGA IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

Every day come the same re-
ports from Manila, of American
soldiers driving the FiIipinos be-
fore them, hundreds of the latter
being left dead and wounded on
the field. Every night may be
seen from Manila the red light of
Filipino huts, which the Americans
have set on fire ''to deprive the in
surgents of hiding places" It is
astonishing that the American
people at home can read these
dreadful reports with patience,
without demanding that this fear
full carnage and destruction be
stopped. What have these wretch
Ell Filpinos done to us that we
should invade their country to
slaughter them like sheep and to
burn their homes and desecrate
their churcbesi One soldier writ
ing of the American campaign in
Luzon says it IS Like a "great rab-
bit drive in Colorado" Imagine
those poor creatures hunted down
like animals, that destroy our
farms IRlagine what hatred must
be growing In their hearts for the
despoilers of their homes. Can it
be believed that they will ever
forget this 'egreat rabbit drive"
IN which they have been hunted
down and destroyed, and in which
the people who have prated about
enlightening them, and protecting
them, have run them out of their
native homes-that they can ever
be content under the rule of a peo-
pie they have SO learned to hstef
Some may call this treason, yet We
cannot but feel and say that oar
country has beed led into doing a
great wrong to an innocent people,
and that the blood of the Filipinos,
whom our soldiers are Staying by
hundreds, is dimming the glory of
the star snangled banner IL this
be treason, then treason means a
love of justice.

THIS WEEK.

THE HARD FIGHTING At LADYSM|TH
Resulted in the Beers Sustaining Heavy Losses While
There Were But Few British Casualties ==Attempt
Draw the Garrison at Estcorrt Outside the City
Where Ambuscade Had Been Prepared--News
From Lower Natal is Very Megger.

London, Nov. 20.-The present week,
according to the dispatches from the
front ought to see change in the de-
fensive tactics hitherto maintained by
the British in South Africa. 1t is said
that the task allotted to General Cleary,
that Of relieving Ladysmith, will task
his generalship to the utmost. The
Beers are developing a great deal of
strength in the neighborhood Of Estcourt
and General Joubert is reported to be
moving southward himself in order to
repel the British advance, after it would
seem, attempting to isolate Estcourt.
This latter movement is already in prog
ress. The Beers practically surround
the town.
Another small force was discovered at
Willowgrange, south of Estcourt, yes
terday (Sunday) evening. Mayor Thorn
eycroft, with a detachment of infantry
made sortie and engaged the Beers
but with no material result. The So
called Boer attempt to rush Estcourt on
Saturday was apparently merely re-
connoissance, resulting the Beers OBJ
tanning information which they desired
namely, that Estcourr is fairly strongly
held and has naval guns in position
The Boers then Withdrew out of danger,
but remained at points commanding
exits from the town.

The Samoan Agreement.

New York, Nov. 2O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t is the
expectation of Secretary Hay that the
treaty for the partition of Samoa will be
finally disposed of this week. Ambas
sador Choate is understood to have mail
ed the text of the agreement reached
by Germany and Great Britain. When
this is received final arrangements for
signing the treaty will be made. Am
bassadOr Won HOlleben, the German re-
preventative here, was at the state de-
partment yesterday but Secretary Hay
does not desire to act in the Samoan mat
ter until he has before him the text OF
the agreemnt between the Berlin and
London governments and 1t Is UNDER
stood has delayed agreeing to sign the
treaty for some days. There is no doubt
that this government is agreeable to the
action taken by the other powers in re-
lation to Savy and Upola, so that nothing
remains to be done except to formally
sign the convention.

Cuba'S Great Loss.

New York, Nov. 20.--Dr. Joseph l..
Hance. who for four years preceding the
war between this country and Spain was
United states consul at Cardenas. Cuba,
has just returned from Gu. He went
there last June to attend to some legal
business and to make himself familiar
with conditions throughout the island.
He Journeyed on horseback in almost ev-
cry part uf Cuba, visiting especially
many of the large sugar plantations.
Public opinion in America" he said,
lis formed my reports from Havana.
There YOU get only one side of the story
and the least important side as regards
questions OF administration. As to
present Industrial pursuits, it is neces-
sary to visit the large agricultural and
pecially the great sugar plantations. Su
gar Is rarely seen on any Of the planta-
tions now In the provinces of Havana
and Santa Clara, 1000 mills and all the
cane have been destroyed. The ma
chinery destroyed will average 100000
per mill, making the total destruction
$4O0, 100000. The cane lost averages
$20O.00O making a total loss of $500, ,00o,-
900. Stock and implements, $4,000. a
total Of ss0,0O0000. The >oial loss on
these plantations producing sugar there
fore reaches $3.50. 100000
Adventures have promulgated the
idea that planters will not have adequate
protection in Cuba and therefore moth
ing is being done toward replantng the
burned fields or replacing the machin-
cry. This, too. in spite of the fact that
some Of the best land in Cuba can now
be had cheap. Outside Of Havana. the
political agitation that is kept up is
greatly deplored. Everyone on the
island who has any property at stake
desires a continuance of American oc-
cupation or in any form OF government

PEELED the illusion that Estcourt was
without powerful artillery and incapable
Of defense against Boer gun fire. The
naval brigade was on guard even if the
three batteries of field artillery We're
barely off the ship, with horses soft from
a protracted voyage.
The news from lower Natal is meagre,
since the censorship is rigidly enforced
there. But there is a strong probability
that the Boer attack upon Estcourt has
been delayed too long 10 be effective.
Military men at the service clubs
breathed freely last night and cOntended
that the Beers had missed their last
chance in the campaign and would be
soon overpowered by superior numbers
and science.
Belated dispatches from the southern
frontier of the Free State only served to
explain why renforcements had been sent
| to East London and western border bull
letins, especially from Kimberley, We're
SO optimistic that it was difficult to ex-
plain why Lord Methuen had been order
ed to relieve Kimberley. The censorship
has been raised in that quarter ard Lon
don now knows day by day what the
guards are doing on the Orange liver.
The Standard and tho Chronicle and
other morning papers have long accounts
by mail from special correspondents Civ
ing in detail the earliest battles in Up
per Natal These letters, while We'll writ
ten, contain few facts of real interest and
appear SO late that little attention is paid
to them. The next mail from the Cape
ought to have more interesting material,
sine it will cover Gen. Whites unfortu-
nate battle and the loss Of Earletons
battalions.
Gen Hildyar, who commands the ad-
vance guard of the relief column was in
the navy service years and is at home
among the blue jackets. He has been in
; the army over thirty years and was with
Lord Wolseley in the Egyptian campaign
of 1882 serving as quartermaster general
He belongs to what is popularity known as
the 'Wolseley gang" but only ranks as
major general in command of brigade.
The real commander of the relief column
will be Sir Francis Clery, unless Sir Will
liam Gatacre precedes him. Like Lord
Methuen who is in charge on the Orange
| river, Gatacre has seen larger experience
in war than his two colleagues, having
served in Burmah, Chitral and two Sou
den campaigns, but he knows nothing Of
South Africa. Clery was in the Sepoy
war. Other lieutenant generals under
Butler are White Whitewalk and French
and new one will be added in Sir
Charles Warren, who knows South Af-
| rica more intimately than any general on
| the ground.

Fight AT Ladysmith.

London, Nov. 2o.--A special dispatch
from Estcourt dated November 90 says
a report has reached there of a battle at
Ladysmth on Wednesday, November Is,
lasting from daybreak until 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. Many Beers are said to
have been killed and many are reported
taken prisoners. The British losses are
reported to be much less. Another bat
tie is said to have occurred Thursday.
It is described as the heaviest yet fought.
The Boer dead, it is added, number hum
dreds, while the British losses We're COM
paratively small.

Many Ships Wrecked.

Chicago Nov. 20.-A special to the
Tribune from Norfolk, Va, says: Ac-
cording to reports brought in to-day 10
ships are ashore in the straits of Magel-
Ian. The steamship Kurdistan, Captain
Littlehale, reported six and the Heed
less. Captain Milton, reported four.
Each vessel came through the straits
bound here for coal and had an ex-
tremely rough voyage. While off the
Patagonian coast two wrecked vessels
could be dscerned, but owing to the
heavy weather and the treacherous for
maj ation of the coast line, neither vessel
dared approach and the names of the
wrecked steamships or fate of the crews
could not be learned. The wrecks
stretched for several miles. Judging
from former experience of the Kurdis-
tan, the chrews of the wrecked vessels
may have been devOured by cannibals.

who deserted the rebels few days ago,

Boer Tactics Unsuccessful,

New York. Nov. 2O.-A dispatch to the
remained the center of interest for the
last twenty-four hours, since the Dutch
allies are attempting to carry out at the
last moment the tactics which might
have been most effective a fortnight ago.
1t was slight outpost affair with a sim
gle shell fired from the naval gun and a
hasty retreat of the enemy. 1t might
have been noted as an unsuccessful
attempt of Free State raiders to destroy
Gen Hildyard had not reached a large
Boer force further back on high hill.
The inference was plain that the Dutch
allies were concentrating several COM
mandos upon Estcourt and might attack
the garrison or draw it into an ambus-
cade before reinforcements with field ar
tillery could be sent up from the coast.
Between the lines of the official dispatch
could be read the motive of this maneu-
Yer of a weak Boer force which was nei-
ther reconnoitering nor attempting to
carry the position by a sudden rush, but
was evidently seeking to draw out the
provincial cavalry after it a few miles,
where it could be entrapped by larger
body In reserve. These tactics which
had succeeded after the battle of Glen
coe failed on second trial. Military men
in commenting upon the affair last even
ing, derived comfort from the practical
evidence that the British forces We're be-
coming more wary and suspicious and
also from the plain admission that the
naval guns were in position. The shell
