Washington, Jan. 9.-The Broadway
National bank of Boston will shortly
pass out of existence. The affairs Of
the bank have, it is understood, so dis

This decision, it is announced, has been

Our cousins are a wide-awake race.
They perceived that the trade privi-
leges they enjoyed in Manchuria and the
orders given by Russia for railway ma
terial and the like were for obvious
reasons of a temporary nature. They
recognized that the powers averse to
the open door" encouraged American
trade only because they could not
themselves supply the commodities
needed.
The position of the United States was
clearly precarious, and she sagaciously
resolved to render it secure, or as Sc
cure as assurances could make it.
America is the last power in the world
to have gone to the trouble of getting
paper assurances and then allowing
them to remain paper assurances only.
If she has obtained them, she will see
that they are observed, and in this she
will get the unfailing support of the
country which initiated the open door,
policy.

WAR in THE TRANSVAAL.

London, Jan. 9.-Anxiety lest Lady
smith fall before the desperate assaults
made by the Beers Saturday has been
relieved for the present. While re-
ports that after II hours of the fiercest
fighting this war has developed the
Beers were finally turned out of the
Judgments they had secured in his works,
and the assault has therefore apparently
failed.
Whether this is more than for the mo-
ment is a matter of such grave doubt
that the situation cannot be said to be
perceptibly brighter for the British. To
be sure a report is afloat in London
that Butler has crossed the Tugela,
taken u guns, and is marching on Lady
smith, but this rumor gains little cred
ence. That an engagement is pending
or in progress, may be true, however.
Butler needs to be an exceptionally
strong general in order to resist the pres
sure from the military authorities at
home, from the colonial governing class
in Natal and from his own army to de-
liver single crushing blow. What the
emergency requires is a cautious, yet
far-sghted plan of operation. like that
adopted by Wellington in the peninsula
campaign. No British general since
the battle of Waterloo has ever had so
brilliant an opportunity for delivering
a series of rapid and effective blows, by
which the enemy may be paralyzed and

Lieutenant Gilmore could not speak
enthusiastically enough about the 140
picked men who had rescued him and
his party. The command spent the day
in making RATS. Colonel Hare thought
Lieutenant Gilmore too weak to live
through the trip, but there was no al
tentative. They shot many rapids, the
men losing all their effects and Lieu
tenant Gilmore some valuable papers,
Only IA out of 81 RATS survived the
first nights experience, and so men were
practically unable to walk when Vigan
was reached.
Describing the fight from Benguet,
when the Americans approached, Lieu
tenant Gilmore said: "The Filipinos.
completely terrified, left Benguet on Dec
Z. They hurried the prisoners from
town to town, often retracing the trail,
not knowing where the Americans would
attack. After being without food for
almost three days, they killed several
horses and we lived on horse flesh for
several days. I did not have a meal
from Dec. until reached Vigan. In
deed, the rescuing party lived largely
upon rice, without salt. There was one
day when l was reduced to chewing
grass and bark.
"While we were in the hands of Cen
eral Tino's men, he issued an order that
any person aiding an American by food
DR. money should be treated as criminal.
One citizen of Vigen, Senior Vera was
probably killed for befriending us. We
would have starved but for the kindness
of some of the presidents of the towns
and some of the Filipino colonies, but
others treated us brutality. Wherever
there was prison We were kept there.
When there was no prison they would
lodge us in a convent. We suffered
greatly from want of exercise, as we'll as
lack of food.
"rhe Filipino treatment of the Span
iards," said Lieutenant Gilmore, was
brutal in the extreme. The insurgents
had old grudges to wipe out against
them. Many talk about the reconcen-
trados in Cuba, but I have seen Span
iards dying at the rate of two or three
per day Of starvation in the hospitals
at Vigan. I have seen Tagolo officers
strike Spaniards in the face with whips
and revolvers."
Lieutenant Gilmore declined to speak
regarding political conditions, except to
say that he thought the insurrection
would last as long as there were any
Tagalogs left.

General White still needs relief; and
the difficulties confronting General
Butler are as great as before. The
formers unadorned sentences, as read
and reread, suggest eloquently the peril
in which the town was for IA hours and
how barely able his 5000 men were to
keep from being overcome.
The chief concern for General White
is in respect of ammunition. Sixty
eight days ago, at the beginning of the
siege, his small arm ammunition was
vaguely described as plenty" His
artillery then had 800 rounds per gun.
Some of the batteries have been in action
frequently since then; and all were
probably engaged last Saturday. His
stock of shells, consequently, must be
low, and this will make it difficult for
General White to cooperate in a move
ment by General Butler.

There is considerable adverse COM
ment upon the apparent lack of CO.
operation between Butler and White at
critical stages of the campaign, although
they were in daily communication with
each other. White was passive on Dec.
10, when Butler attacked the enemy in
full force at Colenso, and there was moth
ing really effective done Saturday south
of the Tugela, although word was re-
ceived at Frere Camp as early as 8
o'clock that the Beers were making
most determined assault upon Lady
smith, perhaps in anticipation of the
general advance of the main British
army early this week perhaps. as the
military editor of the London Post sue-
gests, relying on their works at Colenso
having reached stage of perfection in
which they could stand off Butler for a
day or more, and thus give the investing
forces free hand for that time in at
tempting to reduce the beseged town.
Butler, to be sure, sent troops to make
a demonstration toward Colenso, where
they found all the trenches occupied by
the enemy, and no determined assault
was made

LIEUT.. GILMORE'S STORY.

Manila, Jan. 9.-Steamer Venus came
into the harbor Saturday evening from
Vigan, province of South Ilocos, with
Lieutenant Gilmore and 10 other Ameri-
can prisoners, including seven of his
sailors from the Yorktown. Lieutenant
Gilmore, after reporting, came ashore
and hobbled along, with the aid of a
cane, to the Hotel Oriente, where Ameri-
can officers and ladies were Waiting
through the halls to the strains Of
"Aguinaldos march"
Although tanned and rudy from ex-
posure, he is weak and nervous, showing
the results of long hardships. He
speaks warmly of Aguinaldo, and very
bitter against General Tino, declaring
that while in the formers jurisdiction
he was treated splendidly, but that af-
ter he fell into Tino's hands he suffered
everything,
Colonel Hare and Lieutenant Colonel
Howe, the latter of the Thirty fourth
volunteer infantry, rescued Gilmore's
party on Dec. Is, near the headquarters
abandoned by the Filipinos, and were
expecting death from the savage tribes
around them. When the rescuing force
reached them they were nearly starved,
but were building RATS in the hope of
getting down the river to the coast.
Lieutenant Gilmore made the follow
ing statement to correspondent of the
Associated Press
THE Filipinos abandoned us on the
night of Dec. 16. We had reached the
Abalut river near it's source that morn
ing, and the Filipinos RATED us over
We went down the stream, along a rough
trail, guarded by a company of Fill
pinos That night We were separated
from this guard, and another company,
armed with Mausers, was put in charge
of us. l suspected something, and
questioned the lieutenant in command
He said: Il have orders from General
Tino to shoot you ALL but my conscience
forbids. I shall leave you here"
II begged him for two rifles to protect
us from the savages. adding that would
give him letters to the Americans, who
would pay him well, and keep him from
all harm He refused this, however
saying that he would not dare to comply.
Soon afterward he left with his COM
pany.
1--WE had seen some savages in war
paint around us, and we prepared tc
fight them with cobblestones, the only
weapons that were available to us. The
next morning we followed the trail of
the Filipino soldiers, feeling that it was
better to stick to them than to be muir
dered by saVages, but we could not
catch up with them. Then ordered the
men to build RATS, in the hope of float
ing down the river 1t was a forlorn
hope, but l knew the river must empty
into the sea somewhere. was so weak
myself that | did not expect to get out
but l thought some of the men could.
"On the morning of Dec IS, while we
were working on the RATS, the Amer
leans came toward us yelling. One Of
my men shouted: They are on US.
He was flashing ratio bamboos. l,
however, knew it was not the yell Of
savages, but the yell of Americans. The
rescuing troops thought we had Filipino
guards, and called to us in English to
lie down, so that they could shoot the
Filipinos. That was the finest body of
officers and men | ever saw"

England is preparing fresh arma-
ments and % transports will be on the
way to South Africa during the present
month According to the program,
$4,000 additional troops and 70 guns will
soon be afloat. The government has or
dered Vickers Sons & Maxim, limited. to
manufacture as many 4,7-inch and G.
inch quick-firers as can be turned out
until otherwise notified.
The Boer agents, according to the
Cairo correspondent of The Daily Mail,
are evading British vigilance respect

The correspondent says: A large uuan-
tity of uick-tiring ammunition goes to
Ras Jibeutil, from which point it is con-
Veyed by scowS along the coast or trans
shipped to vessels bound for Portuguese
ports in East Africa. French steamers
touching at Ras Jibeutil before reach

trans-shipping at Madagascar to steam

European lines. In this way they es-
cape suspicion.
Lord Dunraven, in The Times this
morning, returns to his arraignment of
the war department for the inferioritv
of British artillery. He says: 1T is
useless for the government to contend
that our artillery is equal to that of
foreign nations, since the Beers have
longer range mobile guns. "

Spencer Wilkinson, in The Morning
Post, points out that there is one di-
vision only at Chieveley another at
Frere and a third at Estcourt. AS
Chieveley is seven miles from Colenso
the second division would have had to
march u miles to get into action, and
the third division 20 miles. General
Buffers 10000 men and 70 guns were
therefore almost inactive on Saturday,
and when General White photographed
General Butler could really make no
move but an ineffective demonstration.
The entertainments at Ladysmith, as
described in a message that left day
or two before the fight, and has just
come through, are fortified hills, well
covered with rifle pits and trenches,
down which the infantry move in single
file to the various posts in absolute
safety. Full rations are still served, but
no whisky or tobacco.
