Britain Strengthening the
DefenseS of Gibraltar.
Censorship Frets the People,
Waiting for Battle.

received $4,000 pounds sterling for in
ducing the Orange Free State to join
| the Transvaal New and stringent
orders have been promulgated in ref
erence to the defences of Gibraltar.
The privilege Englishmen hitherto
have had of entering the gate without
pass is to be temporarily suspended.
Nobody will be allowed to enter or in
spect the batteries. Even the famous
st. Nichael's cave is closed because it
is required for the storage Of arms and
ammunition. Engineers have been
engaged for the construction of new
and powerful batteries and it is be-
lieved the garrison will be augmented"
The Times commenting on the rumor
of European intervention scouts the
idea, saying "No power will lift a fin
ger. The alarming combinations built
upon our naval movements have no
existence save in an overheated imagi-
nation"
Smelling British Camp.
Ladysmith, Oct. 22-Delayed-The
boer artillery is Smelling Dundee and
the former British camp. Our troops
are now occupying an entrenched
camp. The boer artillery is firing at
long range, the shells being ineffective.
Communication with Dundee is sew
cred The boer wounded and prison
ers are still coming in. Gen. Benvil
joen is wounded and a prisoner.
The BIZ ISL Casualties.
London, oct. 26.-The war Office re-
turns show the total British casual
ties since the beginning of hostilities
to have been 597, eighteen officers be-
ing killed and 45 wounded and 76 men
being killed and 435 wounded. Thir-
teen are unaccounted for. The total,
however, does not include the squadron
of the eighteenth hussars, which
went astray near Dundee and the Off
GERS of the Dublin fusiliers.
Ladysmith Prisoners.
London, Oct. ga Pietermaritz
burg dispatch of Monday says: among
the boer prisoners at Ladysmith in
clude Dewitt Hamer, member of the
Rood for BarmertOn, and DR.. Van Leg
gele, public prosecutor of Heidelberg.
Among the killed is LIE JOng, secretary
of the Transvaal educational depart
ment 1t is expected that General
Kock, the boer commander, will re-
cover. The heavy losses of the Kings
Royal rifles at Dundee seem to have
been due to the black belts worn over
their khaki uniforms affording excel
lent targets"
Cut Their Way Out
London, Oct. 26.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Ladysmith correspondent,
cabling on Monday, says: Thirty of
the eighteen hussars, who were sent
from Glencoe to intercept the retreat
of the beers from Elandslaagte were

RAINY DAY CROWD
AT THE PAVILION

After the parade crowds found their
way to the Mechanics Pavilion, where
they were made to feel at home by the
several committees at the booths. These
were crowded during the afternoon. and
in the evening they were overcrowded by
those who We're unable to get an oppor-
tunity to witness the competitive drills.
District No. 50, the booth of which is in
charge of ladies of Mission Rebekah
Lodge, has been arranged in most
artistic manner with all the furnishing Of
a modern parlor. and is one Of the most
attractive booths on the promenade. The
ladies who were in charge yesterday
were Mrs. Timbrell, Mrs. Nesbit, Mrs.
L. B. Holcomb,. Mrs; BurRhardt, Mrs.
Ashworth and Mrs. w. w. Barnes.
Tonight there will be the awarding OF
prizes won last night, and the grand ball
until ! o'clock in the morning-the final of
the golden jubilee.
The information bureau, in charge. of
Mrs J. u. Gibbs of Amity Rebekah Lodge,
was visited by an immense number of
people, who were in quest of information,
which was most cheerfully furnished. The
lady also had charge of the books, in
which many Odd Fellows registered; Up
to o'clock last night more than 1000 had
inscribed their names on the books.
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-20

and Odd Fellows from Sacramento,
Berkeley. Oakland, Alameda, Niles, Liv-
ermore, Woodbridge, Woodland, San Le-
andre. There were whole cantonments Of
Patriarchs Militant and large bodies Of
the orphans-boy and girl-of Odd Eel
lows. How many thousand there were IN
line is a mere guess, but 5000 would be a
conservative estimate.
And the foats-well, no prettier ones
have been seen in any parade on the
streets of San Francisco. There were two
Rebekahs at the Well, and IT would be a
hard-hearted man that could choose off,
hand between either. One of them in
cessantly fed water from a jug to a Jacob
who rather appeared to like the job. Do
you blame him? There was a very
artistic float representing the compact
between Jonathan and David and another
of Oriental Lodge that was a dream of
pretty girls.
The line of march was from Odd Eel
lows Hall down Market street to Mont
gomery, to Bush, to Kearney. to Market,
to Van Ness avenue, to Ellis street, coun-
termarching on Van Ness avenue to Mar
ket street, to Seventh to pass in review.
And when the distance had been trav-
ersed beneath the still threatening skies
the universal verdict was that the parade
had never been excelled, taking all feat
ures into consideration, in San Francisco.
Can you blame California Odd Fellow
ship if it should pat itself on the back
after such an achievement?
