The British insist now that not more
than 10000 men are in arms; but it is
dincult to believe that So few could
continue to evade over 90o, 200 British,
troops, and infiict crippling blows on
widely, separated columns. Taking
the killed and disabled into account,
the number of fighting Beers from the
beginning must be nearer 100 900 than
10000.
These have not all come into action
at once, ana the original estimate NAV
not have been far wrong. The re-
markable thing Is that here have been
constant accessl0ns to the Boer forces,
nearly making good all losses, and
keeping In the field up to the present
time force nearly as formidable as
that which invaded Natal. The Beers
have reserve force that seems inex-
haustible. Their reinforcements can.
not all be drawn from Cape Colony,
although, without doubt, steady
stream has been going to the front
from there. There must be something
in the blockade-running of men and
from Europe. Service in South
Africa would have q peculiar fascina-
tion for European. soldiers of fortune
with grudge against Great Britain.
The coast line is long and unguarded,
and probably the Cape Colony Beers
have organized Underground rail-
roads" from dozen points. How long
Is it going to take Great Britain to
wear out the Boev army II this con-
slant supply Of fresh men and arms is
going to be kept up indefinitely2

General Wood Arrives in Wash ington and Will Confer
 With President

Washington, September 19-Gen Leon- ard Wood, accompanied by his secretary, Alex Gonzales, arrived in Washington to- night While here he will have confer ence with President Roosevelt and with Secretary Root, and wdll start on his re- turn trip Saturday. The business General Wood will submit to Secretary Root is the new electoral law adopted by the con- stitutional convention.
 Speaking of the law and its provisions General Wood said:
 There will be elected a President, a Vice President cidl Governor and coun- cil for each of the six provinces. The na- tional legislative body will consist of four Senators from each province and sixty-one Representatives. The selection of President and Vice President will be made by electors, of whom there wdll be about 122 in all The Senators will also be chosen by the electors nominated for that purpose. A general election probably will be held in December, and think the island can be turned over to the Cubans themselves by next May or June"
 There are three political parties in "the unioncmdwlypmfwyp vbgwk vbgkq the island" continued General Wood, 'the Union Democratic, the National and the Republican. So far their policy seems not to be definitely outlined, although in the end think questions governing them will settle down to those of an economic character and those bearing on the politi- can relations of the island with the United States"
 General Wood thinks there should be some action by the American government toward the relief of the sugar planters and tobacco producers who are now being handicapped, he said. by the duties on imports of their products into the United States. A moderate reduction in the tariff on both these products, sugar first tobacco next, he said, was absolutely es- sential to the future welfare of the island

ATROCITIES OF
 THE FILIPINOS
Eroberto Gumban Could Not be Held for the Murder
 of Gobuyan

Washington, September 1s.--An official contains the records of a number of atro- cities committed by natives who were tried before military commissions.
 An interesting case is that of Eroberto Gumban, an insurgent captain, tried for the murder of President Gobuyan of the pueblo of Pavia- He was convicted by the military commission and sentenced to be hanged, but General Chaffee released the prisoner on the ground that his ac- tion in the =-emises was in accordance with civilized warfare. Gumban proceed ed to the pueblo of Pavia with thirty sol- dters for the purpose of attacking the American garrison. The presidento de- manded Gumban's intentions. He was an swered that the garrison was to be at tackled. He protested and attempted to retire. Captain Gumban informed him that he was a prisoner and grasped him by the shoulder. The presidento seized the captain by the throat, whereupon the latter killed him.
 General Chaffee, in reviewing the case. said that the accused was acting under regular commission and was part and parcel of the hostile army. The appre- henSion of deceased as a prisoner, says General Chaffee, Ito prevent the defeat of a military movement against a garri- son of the enemy, was a legitimate act of war. The deceased resisted arrest at his own risk, and although the resistance was brave and admirable act and the death which resulted Is to be deplored, a felonious killing cannot be distorted from the facts" --

LIVES LOST ON
 TORPEDO BOAT Terrible Disaster Reported in the North Sea-FxpIosion
 on the Cobra

London, September 19.-The torpedo boat destroyer Cobra has foundered in the North sea. the result of an explosion. The ship was en route from the yard of her builders, the Armstrongs, of New Castle, to Portsmouth. and carried a navigating crew of from fifty to sixty men,, Only about dozen of these are reported saved.
 The Cobra, dt became known later. had on board sfxty-two naval men and about thirty-five men in the employ of the con- tractors, So far as known only twelve men have been saved, and it is believed that they are the only survivors.
 A dispatch from Middlesboro says twelve survivors of the crew of the Cobra were landed there this morning and con- firms the report that all the others were drowned.
 The British admiralty has reeived in- formation that the explosion occurred after the Cobra struck rock, and that she sank immediately.
 The Cobra, like her sister boat, the Viper, was a turbine engine vessel She had just left her contractors and was un- dergoing a boiler test.
 About one year ago the torpedo boat destroyer Cobra beat the record of the Viper and won the title of the fastest Viper which was afterwards wrecked. was forty-three miles an hour, while the Cobra in an unofficial trial over the same course made SIT knots. or 1855 miles
 The Cobra was an exact duplicate of the Viper

WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT
 LOCKED WITH SORROW

Washington. September 1a.-Twenty years after the death of Garfield the na- tions capitol was again In mourning: the wheels of government were locked and the voices of the people were up1ifted in prayer for the soul of William Mckinley while his mortal remains were being com mitted to the tomb in his Ohio home. Private and public business was absolut- ly suspended and every face showed signs of sadness. At exactly half-past 2 o'clock (half-past 1 in Canton) the city ceased from labor, practically from To- comotion for five minutes. Men on foot and on bicycles. the drivers of carriages and draft wagons, chaffeures and train men stood in mute supplication for the dead. Street cars throughout the city were at a standstill.
 The people in accordance with Presi- dent Roosevelt's proclamation repaired to the churches to attend memorial services and rarely have the places of worship been so crowded. All denominations, Protestant, Catholic and Jew united in these.
