CAPTURES BRITISH.
ecuted by Gen. De Wet, the
BOer COmmander.

Delagoa Bay, Aug. 2o.-Gen. De Wet
has defeated the British and captured
4,0GO men, according to reports here
from Boer sources. Gen. De Wet,
who is the Morgan of the war in
the Transvaal, gave Lord Roberts the
slip, escaping from that generals in
Vulnerable traps and succeeding in
effecting junction with Gen. Delar-
ey. Then he turned suddenly upon
the British and defeated them, cap
turing seven guns and 1000 prisoners
This successful maneuver on the part
of the Boer general stamps him as
the greatest military leader in South
Africa. Every general in the Brit
ish service had De Wet in trap at
one time or another. Kitchener and
Butler had reduced their commands to
a shadow chasing him hundreds Of
miles over veldt and kopje, and now
he has not only escaped, but turned
and gave them terrible blow.

AN AMERICANS LETTER.
He Calls War Piratical and Advises
Filipinos to Seize an Anne ricnn Of
ficer and Try Him for Piracy.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Letters and
papers belonging to Aguinaldo,
which were captured several months
ago by Gen. Funston, were made pub
lie Wednesday by the war department..
Some of these documents tend to sub
stantiate the charges that the Fill
ipino insurgents have received encour-
agement from persons in the United
States. The most remarkable letter
in the collection is from Dr. Montague
R. Leverson, dated Fort Hamilton, n
Y, July II, 1899, who describes him
self as member of the Imperial
ist league. The writer declares the
action of the United States in the
war is piracy and advises the Filipinos
to capture some United States officer
of high rank and try him before their
congress on this charge. While it is
said by officers Of the administration
that a charge of treason might be
based on Mr.. Leverson's letter, no le-
gal proceedings will be instituted.

Miles, were at his bedside at the time
of death. Besides a widow, he leaves
an adopted son and daughter.
The story of Coils Potter Huntingtons
life is that of an American Monte Cristo.
Born in perjury, he died the possessor of
probably $50,000,000, perhaps more. 1t is
doubtful whether the deceased railroad
magnate himself knew the actual extent of
his accumulations. His interests were
marvelously varied and up to the very last
he was still the tireless money-getter, the
Napoleon Of railroad finance and the Midas
whose every enterprise seemed to turn to
gold.
Unlike some other self-made American
millionaires, Coils P. Huntington's whole
career was creative and constructive. He
piled up millions upon millions of personal
wealth, not by wrecking railroads, but by
building them. Towns and cities were the
direct creation of Huntington's army of
railroad builders and whole states profited
by his constructive methods. When there
were no more railroad fields to conquer he
invested millions in ship-building enter
priSeS. Thirty thousand WOrkmen have
been on Mr.. Huntington's pay roll at one
time in the larger companies controlled by
him and, counting the other enterprises in
which he was the main factor. his pay roll
has contained as high as 100000 men.
New York, Aug. 1S.-Simple and brief
were the services yesterday which pre-
coded the bearing of the body of Coils
P. Huntington to the mausoleum in
Woodlawn cemetery. Every wheel and
stroke of commerce throughout the
great Southern Pacific system of rail-
roads and steamship lines was. stopped
for seven minutes during the burial,
and during the short suspension of
business $4,000 men in all sections of
the United States remainedidle. .

His Career.
Ex-senator Ingalls, was born in Middle
ton, Essex county, Mass, in 1893 He was
graduated from Williams college in 1855,
and received the degree of LII. D. in 1884.
He was admitted to the bar in 1857, and re-
moved to Kansas in October, 1858. He was
delegate to the Wyandotte constitutional
convention in 1859; secretary of the terri
torial council in 1860; secretary of the state
senate in 1861; member of the state senate
of Kansas from Atchison county in 1862;
major, lieutenant colonel and judge advo-
cate Kansas volunteers in 1896
Mr. ingalls, was elected to the. United
States senate from Kansas as republican
to succeed S. G. POmeroy, republican, took
mis- seat March 4, 1873, and was twice re-
elected. His term of serviceexpired March
4, 1891.
John J. ingalls, was one of the most pic
turesque figures in American public life. A
man of strong: individuality, he had pro-
nounced views on many subjects, and, be-
ing forcible and ready speaker and writer,
never hesitated to express them. Those
who disagreed with him he frequently ar
raigned bitterly and to this lack of rhetor-
1cal urbanity may possibly be ascribed in
measure his failure to win during the late
years of his life any new laurels in the
arena in which he was formerly so con-
spicuous figure.
Mr.. ingalls, had many admirers and
friends and even those who had small per-
sonal liking for him ungrudgingly paid
tribute to his rare talent and his ability as a
statesman and orator.
Since leaving the senate he devoted his
time to literary work and the lecture plat
form.
Borne to the Tomb

services over the body of ex-senator
John J. Ingalls, were held yesterday

was made in the family vault in
Mount Vernon cemetery. Owing to
the request of the family for privacy,
request made in accordance with
the expressed wishes of Mr.. Ingalls,,

A German scientist with all kinds
of knobs on his head has discovered
that yawning is healthy pastime. It
is wholesome, like oatmeal and
brown bread. Yawning, it is said,
stretches the muscles of the brain,
maybe, or the tendons of the head,
sends the blood to the jaws and sharp
ems the appetite and intellect. 1t is
cheap remedy, accessible to young
and old, rich and poor, and if it is as
efficacious as our Teuton says,
health is surely within the reach of
everyone in this country.

The medical work of the missions

fewer than 1o5 hospitals, largely
stated by medical women, and they
attended in that year actually 34s,-
439 Chinese patients, both giving
medical treatment and performing

had made large donations.
