SELLING THE BONDS.
Carnegie Believed to Be Disposing Of
Bonds in Order to GIVE Cash for the
Proposed Washington University.

New York, Dec. 2S.-It is reported In
Wall street that at an auction sale by
Muller & Co. the per cent bonds of the
Carnegie Steel Company sold at 113N.
Carnegie rendered s1o.ooO,0o0 in these
bonds to the government for a Washing
ton memorial university for original re-
search. The fact that the proposed gift
was In bonds of the corporation pre-
vented immediate acceptance of the
magnificent endowment, and the sale is
believed to indicate that Carnegie has
begun to convert the bonds into money
In order that the government should be
relieved from embarrassment. AT the
price realized the s10,o0O,000 in bonds
would be equivalent to su 1887 600, sub
stantial increase of the promised endow-
ment. Practically all of the Carnegie
Steel Company bonds are held by Carne-
gle, and this is one reason why finan-
ciers are concluding he is interested In
the transaction.

To this statement Count Won Armin,

DISASTER FOR BRITISH
Dewet's Attack at Zoofontein
Was Clearly a Victory for
the Beers.
Kitchener's Full Report Of the
Battle Made Public...Over
Sixty Killed.
Both Sides Showed the Greatest
Coolness and Bravery. The
Details Given.

London, Dec. 2s-The war Office this
afternoon issued list Of British casual-
Ties at 1oofontein on Dec. "a, when Col.
Forman's camp was successfully rushed
by the Boer forces under Dewet. The
length Of the list demonstrates the en-
tire success Of Dewet's attack. Six Off
GERS and fifty men were killed. Eight
officers were wounded and four are
missing.
The number OF non on-commissioned Of
ncers and men wounded and missing
has not yet been received, but the ag-
gregate promises to make the Zoofon-
tein AFFAIR memorable disaster to the
British. simultaneously with the above
the war Office gave out dispatch from
Kitchener, chronicling minor success
Cf the South African constabulary, who
raided Bothaville and captured thirty
six Beers. In a subsequent message
Kitchener sends a stirring account OF
the fighting at Zoofontein, showing the
wounded prisoners must number about
$50. He says in the absence Of Col.
Firman, Maj. Williams. who was killed,
was in command. The column encamped
on the slope Of kopjs, the southern
side Of which was precipitous. The out
posts held the edge OF the precipice and
the northern slope. on which the camp
was pitched, was gentle.
The outpost was well pushed out and
the position. naturally strong, had been
entrenched. It was a moonlight night.
The Beers appear to have climbed the
precipice and mastering near the top at
. a. m. suddenly attacked the pickets on
the summit. Before the men could get
clear Of their tents the Beers swooped
thru them, shooting the soldiers down as
they came out. Most of the British offi-
GERS were shot while trying to stem the
rush. Lieut.. Harew himself opened the
FIRE with the pom -poms" and was shot
thru the heart while firing. Lieut..
Watney was killed while leading q
charge. There was no panic and all en-
gagged did their best. But once the
picket was overwhelmed. the superior
force OF the Beers had all the adyan-
tage. Including tile killed and wounded,

was overlooked by the Beers and left
behind. He says two wagon loads OF
dead and wounded Beers were carried
off. They were mostly hit during the
first attack on the pickets. The boers,
who apparently numbered about lzoe
under Dewet, behaved we'll, leaving tAe
men to look after the wounded. The
Imperial Light Horse were fourteen
miles distant. They heard Of the night
at 4:3o and arrived on the scene at o:so.
After breathing their horses they gal

succeeded in reaching the broken coun-

Two Young Men Disappear on voyase
Down the Mississippi.

Down the Mississippi.
Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Dec. 2S.- Residents and
friends in Sterling, ILL.,, of Charles Davis
and Frank Arnold think these men, who
started down the Mississippi river last
fall in houseboat, have been murdered
and there seems to be good grounds for
the belief Davis intended to go to the
gulf, but Arnold was to return in about
two months. Soon after the men left
Sterling they wrote back that they were
having a good time. Since then not
word has been received from either Ar
nold left little son with relatives and
was exceedingly fond of the child, and II
is not thought for moment that ne
willfuIly deserted the little one. About
month ago an Associated Press dispatch,
sent out from Memphis. Tenn, stated
that a man named Charles Davis and
companion, whose name was unknown,
were murdered in houseboat ana their
bodies were thrown into the river. me
dispatch said no facts relative to the
murder had been learned. The boat was
found unoccupied and the floor was
covered with blood. Some papers found
in the boat established the fact that one
of the men went by the name of Charles
Davis. At that time relatives thought
nothing of the matter when the Item
was called to their attention, stating
that Davis and Arnold could hardly
have gotten that far south in SO short
time. However, since then relatives
have attempted to learn of the where
abouts of the two men, but have failed
to find the slightest clew. Both men
were of good habits and had no reason
to keep secret their actions. They were
well supplied with money and the theory
is that they were robbed and murdered
by river tramps. after which the bodies
were thrown into the river. Weighted
down with stones. The police all along
the river have been requested to keep
on the lookout for the two men, put not
a trace Of them has been found.

Archbishop Makes Statement Regard

New Orleans, Dec. 2s.-Archbishop
Chapelle. of New Orleans. apostolic
delegate Of the pope In the Philippines,
has determined to notice the frequent
criticisms of the management of Ro-
man Catholic affairs In the Philippines,
and the letter of William E. Curtis
dated Rome. Dec. IL. and published
in the Record Herald of Dec. "a, gives
him an opportunity to do SO.
II have read this article very care
fully" said the archbishop today. .and
4 have decided that 1t Is best for the
whole country that make reply and
show by facts, absolute facts. how
baseless and utterly senseless are these
charges. We are doing all we can to
bring the Philippines to condition
of peace and quietude, and but for
these Intermediates and unpatriotic
people it would be much easier. They
are trying. by false representations. to
undue the good that this government
has done.
"Mr. Curtis is not even posted on his
facts. / deny emphatically each and
