London, Nov Ut is announced in
q cable dispatch from Cape Town, that
the British have been victorious in an
engagement at Iadysmith and that
the Boer loss was very heavy, including
1000 prisoners.
Later The Bocr losses in this en-
gagement are said to shave reached 200,

San Francisco, Nov, 13,-The Even
ing Post states that syndicate of
American, English and German bank
ers has about perfected arrangements
with tire government of Guatemala TO
advance to that country $4,000, 900, re-
Loving IL OF It's debts and placing the
country on firm financial basis, I'm
der the terms Of the agreement, the
money will be loaned for IL term Of

tion, the syndicate will be allowed to
control n certain percentage Of the GUS
toms receipts Of the different ports,
II Is believed by those interested
that this loan will have the effect of
ending the numerous internal revolu-
tions which have threatened TO disrupt
the country. There will be SO much
American, English and German capital
involved in the country that the three
powers will necessarily be called upon
10 protect their interests. and IL Is be-

THAT SECRET TREATY MYTH.
1t Would be an ImposslbIllty Under Our
Constitution,

Washington, Nov. l3.-The latest re.
port from London, to the effect that o
secret treaty between Great Britain
and the United States and China has
been arranged to preserve the integ.
rity Of China and maintain the "open
door, Is denied most positively here
by no less an authority than the Secre-
tary Of State,
"There is not word Of truth in it,,
said Mr.. Hay. "Under our constitu-
tion there would be no validity in such
an arrangement, A secret treaty with
a foreign government, except modus
vivendi, which is merely temporary
and provisional, and Is always made
public, Is impossible. TO be binding
treaty must be ratified by the Senate.
You cannot exaggerate the impossible
ty Of such n thing"
The only official interest the United
States has in the partition Of China is
in preserving American trade rights in
that country, This government does
not care to be party to the dismem-
berment of China, although there Is
ample reason to suppose that continen-
tai powers would be only too glad to
assist the United States in obtaining
actual possession of some Chinese terri.
tory, thus securing practical ipdorse'
ment Of their partition scheme and
getting rid of the bugaboo Of American
interference in the plans for dismem,
berment.

Good story ON Lord Aberdeen.

New York Evening Post: A story Is
going the rounds in London Of the earl
Of Aberdeen, the former viceroy Of
Ireland and governor-genera of Can
ada, who in his boyhood days devel-
oped a large measure Of the religious,
not to say Puritanical, spirit so strong
ly characteristic Of many Of the illus
trious Gordon family. In his Elton
days he went to one Of the upper mas
tiers and asked him whether he thought
1t was right for him to oil his cricket
bat on Sundays, as the other boys did.
The teacher intimated that he did not
regard the act as one Of the seven
deadly sins, and advised the youthful
2ealot to refer the question to his
form-master "o,T replied the young
Gordon; ave asked him, and he says
1t is all right IL one does 1t in rev.
erent and humble spirit" Thus do
sinners make the road easy for saints.
