Caso of Miss Stone Became More Serious

 Constantinople, Nvo. Hate to-day the case of Miss Stone. the abducted missionary again became more serious. The brigands, it appears, are still hold ing out for the $25,O0O ransom, and 1t is feared that, should they persist in their demand, Miss Stone will have to be sac rif1ced. Nevertheless, the negotiations are still proceeding.
 Anxiety prevails at the United States legation this evenine, whence there has been an active exchange of telegrams between Secretary Spencer Eddy and various points,

THE NATAL PROGRAM M M F.
Plan Includes Forty Vessels from Bat.
 tleshtps to Tug boats.

Washington, Nov. lover and above
 the four warships for which congress t
 it's session directed him to prepare
 plans, as a basis for appropriation at
 the next session. Secretary Long has
 before him the recommendations of the
 board of naval construction, looking to the authorization by congress of the building of forty more naval vessels of
 all classes, from battleships down to tugboats. The plans for the two ar-
 mored cruisers and two battleships pro- jected by congress last session have al- ready been prepared and look to the construction of about 16,000 ton battle tleships and cruisers addition to these which the construction board proposes will be probably about the same size and general type. The boards com- plete plan is:
 Three seagoing battleships of about 16,O00 tons displacement, two armored cruisers of about 14,500 tons displace- ment, six gunboats of about 1,200 tons, six gunboats of about 500 tons, six gum boats of about 200 tons, two colliers of about 15,0O0 tonsj one repair ship of about 7,500 tons, six training ships of about 2,00O tons, four picket boats of about $50 tons, four tugboats.
 While the above appears to be a startling amount of naval construction to recommend to congress it is stated that it is, after all, nearly repetition of the programme submitted to that body through Secretary Long by the construction board last year and is even smaller than the aggregate tonnage proposed in general by the Dewey board for authorization. In each case it is explained, the recommendations are but the steps necessary to carry out the general public policy of providing the United States with modern navy of sufficient strength and one made up of harmonious units. This policy was thought out carefully by the two boards and if it should be carried out, as proposed they declare that the sym | metrical navy finally provided would be very much more effective than the more navies of several of the Eu- | ropean states

BOERS WILL MAKE REPRISALS.
Deputation Meets at Amsterdnm-Kr
 gers Consent Desired.

Amsterdam, Nov. 1.-The Boer depu- tation here summoned Messrs. Leyds and an Boeschoten yesterday by tele- graph from Brussels to consider dis patches received from the Boer leaders in the field, saying that the fighting burghers are determined to make repris- als if the British continued hanging and shooting rebels, and other dispatches 10 the effect that the Boer authorities in South Africa affirm that the adoption of reprisals would be bad policy, and that, in order to strengthen their posi- tion, they request MT Kruger to let them know his opinion, because he still has the greatest hold on the minds of the burghers.
 The meeting lasted four hours and it was decided to advise MT. Kruger to comply with the request of the Boer authorities and to take the opportunity 10 bring the subject of British execu- lions in South Africa before the Euro pean powers in an open letter Dr. Leyds has gone to Hilversum to present the matter to MT. Kruger.

BALTUSROL GOLFERS YIN.
Miss Hecker Again Defcated-Resuttso O
 tho Play.

New York, Nov. 1.-The tie between
 Essex county and Baltusrol golfers for
 the class A team championship of the | Women's Metropolitan Golf association
 was played to-day on the Morris coun- l ty links, and resulted in decisive vic- tory for the Baltusrol representatives. Not one of the Essex county players won her match, the score which was compiled on the Nassau system being nine points to nothing in favor of the Baltusrol team.
 Miss Genevieve Hecker, who was de- feated yesterday in the inter-city match by Mrs Caleb Fox of Philadelphia, was beaten again to-day, this time by Mrs. E. A. Manice, who was leader of the Baltusrol team of four. The national champion, not having recovered from her recent illness, did not play with her usual dash and cleverness, while Mrs. Manice played very steadily at times although on few occasions her work on the putting greens was very poor. Both players went out in 46 the score being "all even'' on the turn. At the sixteenth hole Mrs. Manice was 2 up and she won the seventeenth in to 2. which made her up and 1 to play The eighteenth hole was halves in SO that Mrs Manice had two points, one for the game and the other for being the leader of the eighteenth hole. The other three matches were we'll contest ed, but the Baltusrol women in every case proved too much for their oppo- nents. Following Is the card of the Manice-Hecker match and the sum- mary of the results in each contest:

fl R E5L DANG ER.
The Con tinued Agitation in Central
 Europe Against the United States.

London, Nov. 1.-The Spectator, dis cussing the continued agitation in Cen tral Europe against the United States, will say tomorrow:
 There is in fact, real danger. If the conservative parties on the conti- nent, which include the agrarians, cler- icals and absolutists and the vast mass of the peasantry, should achieve a tenn porary triumph, grand effort will be made to boycott the United States and the Argentine Republic as a protection for vital interests threatened by their competition.
 Although the movement will pass, and probably the hatred with it, the common enemies and common interests of England and America will tend to drive all who speak English and sell and buy food freely into single defen- sive group"

 | Washington, Nov. t1.-The hands of the elongated antique timepiece which stands against the wall in the hall occu- pied by the Schley court of inquiry pointed to 12:45 o'clock to-day when Judge Advocate Lernly announced that he had no more witnesses to call, and MT. Rayner, following him. said that no | witnesses would be summoned on be- half of Admiral Schfe; in surrebuttal. ! For moment 1t appeared as if the now i famous case was about to reach sud- den conclusion, but this deluson was 1 soon dissipated by the announcement on the part of Captain Lemly that he might ask to be allowed to bring in one i more witness on Monday, and also d statement from MT. Rayner that Ad- miral Schley himself would desire to return to the stand on Monday to cor rect errors in his evidence as officially reported
 There is probability that the admir- al will consume considerable time in going over the printed records of what he said and there also is an understand iIlB lilttl lle WILL Iilst,hG SOIIle duull1OnS to his former statements But it Is not believed that, beyond what he may have to say, there will be much more testi- mony taken in the case. The only wit ness that the judge advocate still has in mind is Lieutenant Strauss, and Cap- tain Lemly said to-day that if the lieu tenants attendance could be secured he would detain the court for a short time only. Captain Sigsbee will also return to the stand Monday to make correc- tions in the testimony given yesterday by him.
 These details completed, the argu- ment of counsel will begin and then counsel and the public will withdraw and leave the court to its deliberations The task before the court is not a light one, and 1t may be weeks before the final verdict will be reached.
 To-day's witnesses were Sylvester Scovel, a former newspaper correspond ent who saw service in the Cuban cam paign; Lieutenant Hood, who com- manded the Hawk during the Spanish war, and also a number of officers who were heard yesterday and who returned | to the stand to correct testimony. The | court held only one session and adjourn ed over until Monday.
 The attendance on the court to-day 1 was the smallest since the sessions be- gan. Comparatively few of the reserv- ed seats were occupied at the begin ming of to-days sitting, and Lieutenant Crawford, Admiral Dewey's private secretary, who has handled the distribu- tion of tickets with rare tact invited those present to the front when he dis covered that the seats would not be claimed by ticket holders, thus giving the court an audience and at the same time affording the chance visitors good opportunity to hear the proceed ngs.

 David F. Fitzgerald in nominating MT. Pardee said that had 1t not been for MT. Pardee no primaries would have been held, He said that the republican managers had agreed not to nominate a candidate if Colonel Osborn was nom- mated, and he characterized the action of the democratic leaders in arranging with republican leaders to nominate Colonel Osborn as undemocratic.

Each man present was called upon to give his views on the matter, and after the opinion of all | had been heard MT. Girding, chairman of the Twelfth ward committee, made a motion to endorse the candidacy of Col onel N. G. Osborn. The motion was | seconded by Frank c. Bushnell of the Second ward, and 1t was unanimously carried. This means that the repub- ican party will put no candidate In the field.

BRITISH SUFFER A DISASTER
THE BOERS SUCCESsFULLY ATTACK
 COLONEL BENSON,s COLUMN.
Fifty-four NOn-co m m ssi ion ed 0 iii cers and Men and Wounding 16O-CoIoneI Benson Dies of Wounds Other off COTS Killed Two Guns May Also be Lost.

AAhou-AwO Guhs May Also be Lost.
 London, Nov 1.--Lord Kitchener has reported to the war office a disaster to the British near Bethel, eastern Trans Vaal, in which two guns were probably lost, several officers were killed or wounded and f1fty-fo men were killed and 160 wounded. The following is the text of Lord Kitchener's dispatch, dat ed Pretoria, November |:
 T have just heard of a severe attack made on the rear guard of Colonel Ben sons column when about twenty miles northwest of Bethel, near Brakenlaagte, during thick mist. The strength of the enemy is reported to have been a thousand They rushed two guns with the rear guard but it is uncertain whether they were able to remove them. fear our casualties were heavy. Colo mel Benson was wounded, but not se- verely. A relieving column will reach him this morning.
 Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as follows
 Colonel Barter, who marched from the constabulary line yesterday, reach ed Benson's column early this morning (Friday) unopposed. He reports that Colonel Benson died of his wounds. The other casualties are the following: Kill ed, Colonel E. Guinness Major F. D. Murray, Captains M. w. Lindsay and F. T. Thorold Lieutenants E. V. I. Brooke and R. F. Shepard and Second Lieutenant A. J. Corlett: died of his wounds Captain Eyre Lloyd" Lord Kitchener then gives the names of thirteen other officers who were wounded, most of them severely, and announces that fiftyfour non-commis- stoned officers and men were killed and 160 wounded, adding that four of the latter have since died of their wounds. The dispatch then says
 T assume that the two guns have been recovered and the enemy has withdrawn, but I have no further de- tails.
 q deeply regret the loss of Colonel Benson and the officers and men who fell with him. Tn Benson the service loses most gallant and capable officer, who invariably led his column with marked success and judgment.
 .'The fighting was at very close quar- ters and maintained with/great deter
 
 suffered heavily, but I have not yet re- ceived a reliable estimate. The Boers retired east.'
 Colonel Benson had been for some time operating in the vicinity of Bethel, which Is northeast of Standerton He surprised IBoer laager October 2 near Trichardsfonte, taking thirty-seven prisoners. Three days later, according to Lord Kitchener's report at that time, after long night march the comman- does under Grobelaar and Erasmus heavily attacked Benson's rear guard and Hanks at Yzirvarkfontein, but were l easily driven away"
 Whether this was the attack which | resulted so disastrously, or whether the Boers, who had been repulsed, took ad- vantage of the mist to renew the at tack, is still unexplained. Lord Kitch- ener does not give the date of the Beth el engagement.
