armored train and large body, sup

night. A heavy bOmbardment ensued;
and thereupon, the British returned,

mo reply was made. This move
was a feint to cover extensive move
ments up the river. Kaffirs on this
side Of the Tugela have been warned
by the British to leave their kraalS, as
the fight will commence shortly.
The second dispatch runs thus:
Jan. 1.-THE night was unbroken,
save for slight rifle encounters be
tween outposts which led to nothing.
At daybreak the enemy was located
as before He had not brought sin
Gle gun across the river. but from the
ridges of Swartskop a battery and a
half of siege guns opened on our po-
sitions at 5 A. NJ.
The bombardment was probably the
most frightful ever witnessed on land.
Frequently five heavy naval guns fired

ALABAMA'S GREAT RUN.
Averaged Between 16 and II Knots for
Sl1 and Half Hours.

Boston, Aug. 26.-The battleship Ala
bama arrived in President Roads at 3
D. N. from New York. During the run
over, after leaving New York, the bat
tleship made great time under forced
draught, averaging between 16 and II
knots for six and half consecutive
hours.
The Alabama passed out by Sandy
Hook at II o'clock yesterday and ran
until 1880, when she was forced to slow
down on account of fog. She was in
the fog about fourteen hours and
emerged about $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing, during all of which time she had
only steerage way on, She was Off
Nantucket when the fog lifted. From
there to Boston Light she was again
put under forced draught and made ex-
cellent time, making the run from
Highland Light to Boston Light in two
hours The Alabama will remain at
anchor all day tomorrow and will go on
her trial trip over the Cape Ann course
Tuesday morning. A large number Of
invited guests will be on board. The
entire trial board, with the president,
Rear Admiral Rogers, were on board
the battleship on her run over.

PR0TECT0RATE OVER CUBA.


HAVANA, Aug. 27.-Senor Lanuza,
former secretary of justice, who was
recently asked to represent the Repub-
lican party Of Cienfuegos in the forth
coming constitutional convention, pub
lished today a private letter written
last April, in which he gives his reason
for not joining the Republicans. He
takes this step in order to explain his
exact position:
u do not join the Republican party "
he says, because do not agree with
the two principal ideas of that party,
namely the immediate cessation of in,
tervention and accession of absolute in
dependence. If intervention were to
cease before Cuba had become well
established upon sound economic
basis, then dark days would be in store
for us. After the republic is estab-
lished the United States should main
tain for some time international rela-
tieqSJvitb Guha- eSneciallv with ref
countries, and should also have the
right of approving or disappearing
Cuban loans above a certain amount.
Moreover, the American govern
ment should uphold Cuba before the
world. Indeed, if the United States
were not to do these things, then the
prospects would be gloomy. What is
needed is a frank avowal from Wash
ington that the United States will
guarantee sound and efficient govern
ment in Cuba This is requisite to a
restoration of confidence"

POISON IN ALCOHOL.


Capt. Sigsbes's Remarkable Proposition
Declined by Navy Department.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Capt. c. D.
Sigsbee, formerly commanding officer
of the Maine and now the chief intelli-
gence officer of the navy, recently made
a remarkable proposition to the navy
department while he was in command
of the Texas. He found that enlisted
men of the vessel were obtaining alco.
hol. lie suggested as the best means
of diseouraging this pilfering the mix
ing Of poison with the alcohol His
proposition did not meet with official
favor.
Surgeon-General Of the Navy W. K.
Van Reyben replied: This bureau
does not approve the sugguestion of
Capt. Slgsbee to add tartar ematic to
the alcohol issued to ships. 1t would
cause the death of the men who drank
the alcohol in which it was discovered.
1t is the opinion of the bureau that il
greater precaution were taken on board
ship to prevent stealing of alcohol the
addition of any poison would not be
necessary"
