BULLER'S FATAL DISPATCH.
National Review Answers Challenge
by Publishing 1t.

London, Oct. 1.-The National Re-
view gives the essential terms of the
SpGtch- Cooked dispatch of Sir Redvers
Butler to Gen. Sir George White, when
in command of the beleaguered British
garrison at Ladysmith. According to
this authority the message ran as fol-
lows.
II have been repulsed. You will burn
Jour ciphers and destroy all your am
munition. You will then make the best
terms you can with the Beers after
have fortified myself on the Tugela.
Gen. Fuller. in the speech which led
to his dismissal from the command of
the First Army Corps, challenged the
National Review to publish the COM
plete dispatches, and to explain how II
was obtained. declaring that he would
then publish a certified copy of the
original and allow the public to judge
the matter.
The editor of the National Review
now explains that he got the dispatch
from a civilian who was in Ladysmith
at the time and who said there was
nothing secret about it. He asserts
also that he understands that both
Cen. Butler and Gen. White have Of
ficially asked permission to publish
the authorized version. and he cannot
conceive why permission has been
withheld.
The same informant, giving an al
legged explanation Of the fact that
there was no cooperation between
Gen. Butler and Gen. White during
the battle of Colenso, says Gen. White
was informed that the attack was fix
ed for Dec. II. but Gen. Fuller COM
menced the attack on Dec Is. to the
dismay OF Gen. White. who had not
completed his preparations.

These motives do not appear clear to
me-"
1T telegraphed mainly regarding the
coal supply because l imagined that
would be the most important motive.
/ do not know that l gave my reasons
for it. but 1 did in subsequent dis
patch to the department, stating that
the movement to the westward had
been for a cerain object"
IF 1t was your intention on May 81
to develop the Spanish shore batteries,
why did you signal that you were go
ing in with the three ships, the Massa-
chusetts, the Iowa and the New Or
leans only to fire on the Colon?"
II intended to use the large guns for
that purpose, expecting to make an
other signal after boarding the Massa-
chusetts which l did. to the New Or
leans, to fire at the batteries with her
small guns"
In reply to another question Admiral
Schley said he thought that his CONVEX
sation with Capt. Cook concerning the
unccupling of the Brooklyn's engines
had taken place July 2.
Responding to other questions Ad-
miral Schley said he thought that some
of the projectiles fired at the Ameri-
can fleet May 81 came from the Socapa
battery. He was satisfied that some of
mortars; that the Merrimac had been
required to use her own machinery as
soon as it was repaired, and that the
chief engineer of the squadron had ex-
planned to him the extent of the dam
ige to the collier.
Where Could spanish Have Gone.
The last question of the court was
as follows:
Where could the Spanish squadron
have taken refuge if it had come out
of the harbor at Santiago and had
steered to the southwark"
ut could have gone to Jamaica, but
l should imagine that after having
gone sufficiently far to evade me the
Spanish fleet would have skirted
around to the westward, knowing that
Admiral Sampson had left Havana for
the East"
Then, at sos p. m, Admiral Schley
was finally excused and at $40 p. M.
there being no other witness present
in the courtroom the court adjourned
until o-morrow.

NO STRIKE AT FALL RIVER.
But II lis by No Means Certain There
viii Not Be One.


Fall River, Mass, Oct. S0.-The mill
operatives of this city tonight decided
not to strike, the matter being decided
by a majority of four votes in the loom
fixers union. Only 1,702, of the 10000
operatives of the city exclusive, of
those employed in the Iron Works and
Bourne mills and the mills Of the New
England yarn company, attended tie
general mass meeting of the unions.
called for the purpose of voting on the
proposition to strike Monday for an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages.
According to the ruling of the Tex
tile Council, four of the five unions
were required to vote in favor of
strike before one could be ordered. To-
night the weavers, slashers and carders
voted in favor, but the spinners voted
against it by majority of As votes and
the loom fxers by a majority of only
four The spinners were expected to
vote mo" so the question was really
decided by the four votes in the loom
fXers union.
The unions that voted to strike are
not satisfied with the result. and the
Textile Council has called meeting
for tomorrow night, at which time
those who voted yes" will have an
opportunity to say whether or not they
will withdraw from the Textile Coun-
ell and undertake a strike without the
spnners and loom fixers. The general
feeling at labor headquarters tonight
is that there will be no strike.

THE BIG MANIPULAT0Rs.
Chicago and Northwestern Included
In Northern Pacific Settlement.

Chicago and Northwestern Included
In Northern Pacific Settlement.
New York. Oct. 30.-The Times to-
morrow will say:
The only new development in the
Northern Pacific Railroad situation on
Wednesday was the appearance of Chic
cago and Northwestern as factor in
the settlement. AS a matter of fact,
it was learned from a representative of
the Hartman interests the Northwest
ern has been considered in the settle
ment from the first. The Chicago and
Northwestern is the Chicago connec-
ton of the Union Pacific, and its inter-
ests, are closely identified with the
latter. 1t forms a connecting link be-
tween the Vanderbilt and the Hartman
systems, and IS supposed to be con-
trolled in the interest of both.
Regarding the many rumors about
the Northern Pacific affairs which cir
culated in Wall street during the day
ii was learned that they were almost
entirely without foundation. The re-
port that an announcement of set
Element will be made before the end
of the week was characterized as un-
true by one of the gentlemen interested
in the matter. The same authority is
responsible for the statement that 1t
NAV be several weeks before the mat
ter can be permanently disposed OF.
When the settlement shall have been
finally made II will be on basis which
will preclude any possibility OF the
question involved arising again as dis
turbing factors.

Huntington. W. Va, Oct. 30.-A num-
Der of representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America and of diff
ferent. state organizations are here to-
night for a conference tomorrow with
both the organized and the inorganic
ed miners of West Virginia and Vir-
ginia. A similar conference was held
at Parkersburg last month and on the
report of the conferees at that time
President Mitchell has called the meet
ing for tomorrow to devise plans by
which the miners IN these two states
can be organized into state unions and
made auxiliary to the United Mine
Workers of America, the same as IN
other coal producing states. state Of

President Lewis, Secretary and Treas
urer Wilson and other national
officers in a final effort to or
ganize the miners of Virginia

for the meeting tomorrow includes
the miners of Virginia it is under
stood that the main efforts at the
present conference will be directed to-
ward the mines Of West Virginia first,
and the the organization will be ex-
tended to Virginia.
The output of West Virginia mas
become so enormous as to seriously
conflict with other states, especially
with Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania, where there IS
very little difference in the haul. 1t Is
said that the operators in other states
claim they cannot pay the union
scale in competition with the lower
rate of the non-union mines in West
Virginia and the convention will APP
peal TO the Virginia miners for the
protection of union mines in other
states. The operators OF West Vir-
ginia are also represented here and
are appealing to their men against
interference from labor leaders in 9TH

Washington, Oct. 3O.-It is learned
tonight that the original and unpub-
lished report of Admiral Schley of the
battle of Santiago to Admiral Sampson,
referred to in the proceedings before
the court of inquiry to-day, was of a
preliminary character and differed
from that subsequently made in that
it omitted mention altogether of the
cruiser New York, and that it also re-
quested that Admiral Sampson have
the commanding officers or captains of
the vessels engaged transmit to Com
modore Schley their detailed accounts
of the action in order that he might

port in substance describes the coming
out of the Spanish fleet from the har-
Dor of Santiago, and calls attention to

briefly the part played in it by each
one of the ships, showing that the

cry of all the American officers and
crews engaged in the fight. and recon-
nends the commanding officers for gall
liant and meritorious conduct and the
superb handling of their ships. Then

Spanish losses, the injuries to the
American fleet and the casualties. 1t
then asks that Admiral Sampson have
