KING CHARLES OF PORTUGAL,

Tension Emphasized.
The tension between Portugal and Hol-
land appears to have been emphasized,
perhaps not altogether unintentionally,
by the peculiar warmth of King Charles

given at the royal palace to Vice Admi-
raj Sir Harry IIoldsworth Rawson and
the officers Of the British fleet now in the

During the course OF his speech. when
he teasted Queen Victoria, the king said,
an,6hg other things:
England has often shared the efforts
and glories OF Portugal. Our mutual
friendship and close alliance are strength

gether In cruises which have always been
just"
Admiral Rawson replied that the words

ACCEPTS TERMS
OF J. H. HAMMOND
LOONDoN CORPORATION AGREES
TO HIS PLAN FOR COLO
RADIO MINE.

Denver, Nov. 29.-The Ventura cor
poration of London has cabled it's ac-
ceptance of the terms of John Hays
Hammond, under which he agrees to
take charge of Stratton's Indenepdence
mine in Cripple Creek and already work
is under way in accordance with his
plans.
The board of directors agree to turn
the mine over to Mr.. Hammond, giving
him authority to prosecute the needed
development work and leave the matter
of dividends from the mine to his dis
cretion. He has agreed to pay in divi-
dends for next year $4SS,0OO, or 10 per
cent on the capital stock of the cor
poration. This is just one-fourth of the
amount that has been paid in dividends
from the mine since the English cor
poration has owned it,
The impression that has gained ac-
ceptance in some quarters, that the mine
is entirely worked out, is denied by Mr..
Hammonds report, which shows that
the ore body is still capable of produc-
ing 81 600, 900 year profits.

NEWS FROM ROBERTS.
Commander Makes a Report on the
African Wal

London, Nov. 29.-In connection with
movements of General Knox, reported
in the dispatch from Cape Town, Lord
Roberts in a message from Johannes
burg, dated Wednesday, November %,
says General Knox re-occupied Dewets-
drop November &C. The Beers, he added,
had attacked the place November 81,
and tn town had surrendered November
"a. General Knox, at last accounts, was
pursuing the federal command.
Lord Roberts also reports that various
columns found the Beers holding strong
positions in the vicinity of Harrismith
and Phillipopolis, both in the Orange
river country, and other widely sep
arated points. The fighting, however,
was of little Importance.
A detachment of 250 men belonging to
the Royal Canadian regiment, Col. OF
ter commanding, which has just reached
England from South africa by the
Hawarden Castle, arrived in London to-
day and proceeded to kensington bar
racks. Since their arrival at South
ampton, where they were welcomed by
Major General Robert MacGregor Stuart,
the Canadians have everywhere been
greeted with tumultuous applause.
General Stewart made brief speech
to tn Canadians, during the course of
which he said Englishmen rejoiced over
he honors achieved by the home troops
and their kinsmen from all the colonies
brought together by the war. Col. Otter

Admiral Sends Message Explaining How
Yosemite Was Lost in the Typhoon---
Long Expresses Regrets.
NAMES OF BOAT CREW ASKED
THE GENERAL ALVA WHICH IS SAID TO HAVE PASSED INTO THE
TRACK Of STORM THOUGHT TO BE
SAFE

Washington. Nov. 2o.--The navy de-
cablegram from Admiral Remey confirm
ing the report of the disaster to the
auxiliary cruiser Yosemite at Guam:
"Cavite, Nov. 29.-Bureau of Naviga>
Sherman reports total loss of Yosemite
on November 13. Chains part, ship
drifted to sea and sand 70 miles, Collier
Justin went to rescue. Steam launch
crew of five lost. Shall send Kempff to
Guam tomorrow to ascertain extent of
disaster and transport Yosemite crew to
Cavite. REMEY."
Admiral Remey's dispatch came at
an early hour, and gave the first
official data Of the total loss of the
Yosemite. The dispatch was commu-
nicated to Secretary Long, who came
to the department, and spent part
of the morning there. The secretary
expressed profound regret at the loss
of the ship and men, but there was
some consolation In the fact that the
loss of life was comparatively small, con-
sidering the large complement of officers
and men carried by the Yosemite under
ordinary circumstances. A dispatch was
sent to Remey asking for all further par
tiouiars which might be available, and
Cor the names Of the lost boats crew.
The fact that Admiral Kempff had left
Cavite by this time for Guam gave as
surance that everything possible would
be done. The secrtary said the depart
nient would make every effort to ascer-

tain the extent of the disaster and thu
names of those who We're lost, and would
keep the public informed.
Admiral Remey's reference to the JUS
tin, which went to the rescue of the Yo-
semitic, applies to the collier Justin,
which recently had arrived at Guam.
The plans concerning the YOSEMITE were
IN transient state, and within a few
days from the time of her loss she was
eApe2ted to leave Guam for Cavite. At
the same time the collier Brutus had
been ordered from the Philippines to
Guam, where she was to take the place
or the Yosemite as a station ship. In
the absence of all cable connection with
Guam, 1t Is Impossible for the depart
ment to know whether the Brutus had
reached there at the time Of the disas-
ter.
The Brutus took out a crew Of marines,
which will act as a garrison at Guam,
replacing the forces which have been
there for about a year. The General
Alava, whcih is reported from Manila to
have passed into the track of the same
typhoon which overwhelmed the Yose-
mite, is little gunboat of 532 tons dis
placement. Nevertheless she is said to
have been perfectly staunch and sea-
worthy, and providing she met the storm
in open sea she would in all probability
come safely through. The AlaVa was a
Spanish gunboat captured by the United
States army in the Philippines, where she
had been used by the insurgents, and
was turned over to the United States
navy about a year ago.

1T is nonsense to suppose that the

from Pekin. The English and Germans
are natural allies in China All we can
hope is that the powers will not stop
too long in Pekin. Otherwise they might
discover so much hidden treasure that
it would seem desirable to remain for
good. The Anglo German agreement
which is now disagreeable to US. would
then become dangerous.
THE trouble is. until the peace nego-
tiations are concluded. there can be no
question of the allied forces remaining
in Pekin, but to do SO afterwards would
not be polite. Again, what sort OF
peace negotiations can include such de-
mands as those made by Germany"

 It is not unusual employment for the fire department, or rather for details from the fire department, for the system which Mayor Martin is now experimenting on is employed in various cities of the union with entire satisfaction. But whether the work shall be permanently allotted to the fire department, or shall be done by other em- ployes of the city, or put out under con- tract, is not the feature of the matter in which the people are specially interested What they are concerned about is the work itself, and not who does it. For years there has been a legitimate kick on the cleaning of the asphalt, or rather it's not being cleaned.
 The system of washing it at night with hose was several times suggested by Col onel Dyer in interviews published in the Chronicle, and as sweeping it proved such a failure, it looks like the washing experi- ment night have been made long ago. But Mayor Martin has the thanks of the com munity for making the test now, and we feel sure he will make 1t thoroughly.

wILHELMINA's PRETTY VOICE

From the London Gentlewoman.
 Many say that the loveliest voice in Hol- land belongs to the young Queen. Indeed, people who have once heard her speak will never forget the impression. Her voice is soft and silvery, and at the same time it can be firm and resolute. When the Queen at her coronation two years ago delivered her speech every one was loud in praising her.
 Some said that Queen Wilhelmina would have been a grand actress if only fate had not placed her on a throne. Jules Clarete, who was present, said that he would en- gage her on the spot for his theatre It is fact that never public speech has been delivered so well, so beautifully, so feelingly. Every word was spoken exactly as it should be spoken. And she was only Is years of age. It is true that the Queen has done much amateur acting, of which she is very fond. She often takes principal parts, which she plays wonderfully well. No doubt this has been of great use to her, to facilitate her difficult task.
