Birmingham, England. June 2s.--Jo-
seph Chamberlain, secretary OF state
for the colonies, addressing tho union
lists OF this city this evening. reviewed
carefully the Transvaal question.
In the course OF his speech he said
that owing to the enormous military
preparations OF the government OF

had been compelled to increase the
British garrison In Cape Colony and
Natal, entaillng an additional expendi-
ture OF e500,O00 annually.
'If the reforms which Lord Ripon
proposed In 1894 had been accepted"
he said, there would have been no
raid and no crisis at the present time.
But tho raid tied the hands OF the
government and prevented the appll-
cation OF pressure"

fire on our troops this morning from Il
masked battery below Las Pnos.
They were answered by six guns from
First Artillery ard soon the gunboat
Helena and monitor MaNad'ork joined
in.
Lawton quickly led a reconnaissance
with two companies of the 21st Infantry
between Filipinos and water front.
After going mile and half they en-
countered an overwhelming force of
Filipinos and hot fight followed. Law
tons men were forced to retire but raj
lied and by brillian, dash captured the
first position.
They had to retreat again on account
of heavy flank fire. Two officers and
10 men wounded.
They were relieved by battalion of
the 9th infantry and rested out of range.
Same time battalions of 18th and 14th
Infantry sent forward.
AT noon all troops under Lawton
were in action. Heavy fighting all
along the line. Battle is the most
severe yet between Americans and
Filipinos.
