portion of Tabanyama mountain during last
night, General Warrens troops are finding
considerable difficulty in holding 1t. There
has been heavy fighting to-day. The Boer
shells are splendidly directed, and in the
face of the enemy's heavy fire the further
advance of our forces has been checked.
again and again attempts had been
made to dislodge the enemy and things had
begun to look serious. Determined as had
been their attacks, however, the British had
not succeeded in dslodging them. Meanwhile
the Kings Royal Rifles, approaching from
the Potgieter's DRIFT side of the mountain
range, began the arduous ascent of Spion
kop. The heights at the place where they
arrived were precipitous, and their task
was no light one. They advanced, how
ever, and apparently at first without
knowledge of the Beers. but before reach
ing the top they became exposed to a flank
fire from the enemy. The last part Of the
hill was even more precipitous than the
road along which they had come, but the
brave fellows scrambled up little by little
sometimes on their feet and hands. some
times crawling on their knees, until, pant

and threw themselves down upon the
ground with a cheer 1t was grandly ac-
complished.
There is still the difficulty of keeping
this important point without artillery. The
position therefore is now that the British
hold Spion kop at the east end of the range.
They also hold the west end. The Beers
are intrenched in the intermediate part. be-
sides holding other intrenched positions on
the adjoining kopjes. which command the

BEVERIDGE WAS RIGHT.
Defense of His Business View Of the
Philippine Islands.
Wa shington Star.


The views Of Mr.. Wolcott on the Philip
pine question, eminently sane in their gem
eral nature, and eloquently stated in the
Senate yesterday, might with some justice,
be revised so far as the attitude of Mr..
Beveridge is concerned. The senator from
Colorado thinks that the junior senator
from Indiana puts the case too sordidly:
that he dwells too much upon the material
wealth, developed and undeveloped, of the
archipelago. But does he?
No man will say that IL was cupidity
which took the United States TO the Phil
ippines. Not ten representative men in this
country had ever given thought TO the
islands before the war with Spain was de-
clared. Dewey ordered to Manila to
destroy the Spanish fleet. The moment that
order was executed this government found
itself charged with responsibility for the
islands. and as time passed that RESPONSE
bility increased and new questions arose.
Should the United States leave or stay? II
IL should leave. how was an honorable re-
treat to be executed? If il should stay,
under what circumstances and for how
long? The United States, by formal treaty,
took over the archipelago, and permanent
American occupancy finds favor now with
a very large majority of the American peo-
pie. Cupidity, therefore. did not inspire our
going 10 the islands. nor did IL decide the
question OF our assumption OF sovereignty.
But now that we are there and our re-
sponsbility is fixed. We need not fail TO
examine the nature OF our new possess
slonS, nor ran 10 1elcltate ourselves tnat
they are exceedingly rich and promising.
Mr.. Beverage does not dwell too much on
that point. He was right I'm taking IL into
account during his visit to the Philippines.
and he is right now in giving IL great
prominence. Ii is a good thing 10 feel that
in striking for humanity have also
struck il rich in the way of worldly
goods in the Philippines. Mr.. Beverage Is
not TO be classed with those men who
would put the country I'm the attitude OF
c0nfeSSing that IL is only the wealth of the
Philippines that allures us, and who then
class all who differ with them hypo-
critics. Nor does the Colorado senator so
intend.
enough in the Senate for both OF you. In
fact. since Mr. Beverage has spoken. the
country will desire more than ever that
your days may be prolonged there. We cam
