JOHN BULL IN BAD TEMPER.
Irritated Over Inactivity of Troops
In South Africa.

New York, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Disappointment and reveTses are en-
! dured by the Englishmen with fortitude
and grim stoicism, but the utter lack
of trustworthy news from General
Buffers army has been borne with
increasing signs Of Impotence and
( irritability. The summons of the
ambulance corps to the front last week
after every available battalion and
cavalry troop had been called into
Natal was accepted as the signal for
Impending battle, but when Ladysmith
was hard pressed on Saturday the re-
heving army was only capable of
/ making a harmless reconnaissance
worthy of tranquil summers day
manOuvers at Aldershot
General Buffers Immediate advance
was regarded as the inevitable sequel
to the desperate BOer assault upon
Ladysnith, which had been well nigh
successful. Probably no recent expert
ance has been more trying to the Eng
iish temper than this conspiracy of
silence in Natal, when every man has
felt IN his heart that there was no time
to lose and that an army Of over POO
I 600 British soldiers ought to be moving
with untiring energy and irresistible

The Morning Post has Joined the
Daily Mail in attacking the ministry
and demanding the reconstruction OF
the cabinet but this campaign has not
made any progress outside the news
paper offices. The party whips smile
incrcduiOusly whenever it Is suggested
that the government is in danger. The
Standard which has neither hot nor
| cold hts, represents the conservative
party more accurately than any other
English journal and it has not yet lost
its presence Of mind.
What is evident 10 all observers is
that the loss Of Ladysmith without a
second attempt at relieving the army
across the Tugela would be more dis
creditable than a fresh reverse of
Buffers forces and that public conf
dence in the government would be
fatally impaired.
John Bull is, indeed, in a bad temper
and in no mood for explanations from
any source. What he wants is news
from the front. ard under the censor
ship he gets little or nothing The
military writers for the press have
lost their reasonings and the veterans
at the clubs talk TO blank walls when
they explain that Butler probably set
in motion Warren's division on a turn

depends for success upon secrecy and
that it viii probably end in the captute

Equally Indifferent to details are the

CAPTURE OF MANILA.
Report of Admiral Dewey Is Sent t
the Senate.

Report of Admiral Dewey Is Sent to
the Senate.
Washington. Jan. 11.-Responding to
the senate's resolution of inquiry. the
secretary Of the navy today sent to the
senate a copy of Admiral Dewey's re-
port from Hongkong. dated March 81.
1898, relative to the capture of Manila
The text Of the report shows that it
was made in response 10 a telegram Of
inquiry from the secretary, and the
admiral gives in detail the names Of
the available vessels under his COM
mand and also a list of SPANS vessels
and other means Of defense at Manila.
He states that his own squadron was
IN high state of efficiency. Speaking
Of the Spanish forces, he said it num-
bered about $4,000 soldiers of all arms
in all the Islands. of which half are
in the vicinity Of Manila. The islands
are now in state of Instruction, and
my informants state that even the
Spanish soldiers, who constitute only
a small part of the whole are dis
affected. Both shius and forts are in
need Of ammunition"
To this statement he added the fol-
lowing: L believe I am not over
confident in stating that with the
squadron now under my command the
vessels could be taken and the defenses
at Manila reduced in one day. There
is every reason To believe that with
Manila taken or even blOekaded the
rest of the islands would fall either to
the insurgents or TO ourselves, as they
are only held now through the support
of the navy and are dependent upon
Manila for supplies Information has
lust reached me that there are 5000
armed rebels in camp near Manila who
are willing TO assist US"

GOV. SHAW INAUGURATED.
Iowa's Chief Executive Talks OF
Finances and Trusts.


Finances and Trusts.
Des MOines, Ia. Jan. 11.-For the sec
ond time Governor Shaw was inaugur-
ated as chief executive of the state this
afternoon. The cath of Office was pro-
nOunced by Chief Justice Granger of
the supreme court, in the presence or
5000 people. The ceremonies consisted
of a parade from the state Rouse. head
ed by a troop Of the national guards,
and exercises at the Auditorium, which
concluded with an address by Lieuten-
art Governor Millimar
In his inaugural address Governor
Shaw said: "The United States is con-
ceded to be the great agricultural coun-
try of the world, and cur manufactures
will find few rivals. There is no valid
reason why we may not also become
the great commercial and financial cen
ter But In order to do this we must
have as good money as our European
competitors. Ard what characterizeSs
good money! | answer certain and
ready exchangeability. Silver is as
good as sold only 50 long IS It can De
exchanged at par for gold.
Il think those who contended at the
trust convention in Chicago last fali
that trusts and mOnOpolies should be
treated ds synonymous terms were cor
rect. 1 have yet to find the first man
who has a word to say in e6,enuat en- or
daferse of monopOlies. Gent emen OF
the general assembly, let il be your
duty to crush every one within your
reach, and the people Of this state Will
take notice of your WisdCm and follow
the course you shall have marked out.
If all the states of the Union could be
induced to unite upon some single pol
icy, I would have no fears of succees-
fully combating mOnopOlies in this
country. They might be built up abroad,
but they could then be enecuVely
reached by means Of a tariff.
I think it is generally conceded that
the trust problem must be treated by
the national congress, rather than by
state legislatures.

MAKING NO HEADWAY.
Mexican Troops Unable to Put Down
Yaqui Uprising.

Chicago. Jan. ia special to the
Record from Ortiz, Mex, says: Small
bands Of Yaqui Indians have become
very annoying to the Mexican troops
during the last few days and frequent
skirInishes have occurred. A few nights
ago leo Indians boldly rode into the
corral and stampeded over 200 horses
belonging to the troops. The Indians
afterward captured the animals for
their own use.
It is almost impossible to get supplies
to the troops. owing to the Yaquis'
guerilla tactics. General Torres men
are living on the country and there are
times when they must suffer severely
for lack of food. Americans VINO have
come from the Yaqui country says the
troops have made no Roadway toward
putting down the rebellion.
