PRESIDENTE OF TOWN
LED THE ASSAULT

Manila. Oct. 3.-The latest advices
from the island of Samar give harrow
ing details of the slaughter of the
members Of Co. C. Ninth Infantry, last
Saturday. at Balangiga. 1t seems that
the presidente of the town, claiming
to be friendly, led the assault in per-
son.
On hearing of the slaughter, Col.
Isaac d. Derussy of the Eleventh In
fantry started for the scene immedi-
ately with a battalion. The body of
Capt Connell had been tied at the
heels, saturated with kerosene, and
partly burned.
Forty-five bodies had been burned in
a trench. leaving seven unaccounted
for. The charred remains of many
were recovered. In numerous instances
the bodies had been badly mutilated.
Three hundred Macabebes will also
be dispatched to the scene of the mas
sacre on board the Legaspi, which is
delayed by the typhoon.

Great Britain at Last Recognizes
the Necessity. Of Meeting the
Renewed Boer Activity by
Sending Troops to Africa
DISCHARGES CAN NO

Situation in Cape Colony

London, Oct. 3.-"For months past
we have been told" says the Daily
Graphic, this morning, that if the
Beers would only abandon their elus-
i've tactics and come to close quarters.
we should see what we should see. The
Beers have taken us at our word, and
the results are certainly not encourag-
Ing"
The chorus of dissatisfaction with
the inertia of the government is daily
gathering force. Winston Churchill,
M. p, speaking last night at Oldham,
described the situation in South Africa
as SERIOUS and disquieting." He said
the war could not be ended by procla-
nations or threats, but only by vigor-
GUS military operations.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Chron-
!cle comment upon the fact that the
huge British army is seemingly only
able to remain on the defensive. The
Standard says:
1.-THE Beers are fighting with a de-
termination and contempt for their
own lives such as were seldom showed
in the early periods of the war. Their
plan Is to keep Lord Kitchener's army
busy in the north and to give the
rowing commanders in Cape Colony an
opportunity to raise the Cape Dutch
against Great Britain"
1t Is believed that the government at
last recognizes the necessity of meet
ing the renewed Boer activity. Prepa-
Fations are being made to replace Lord
Kitchener's exhausted men by fresh
drafts, An order has been issued rem
dering 1t impossible to obtain discharge
by purchase from any Of the army re-
serves, sections of which are being pre-
pared for mobilization.
Lord Kitchener has sent home a
fresh batch Of imperial yeomanry SUI
fering from organic diseases uniting
them for life on the veldt, together
with a strong protest against the waste
Of public time and money in enlisting
such men.
1t is futher evidence of the serious
ness of the situation in Cape Colony
The Cape premier, Sir John Gordon
Sprigg, has gone to Johannesburg tC
meet Lord Kitchener and Lord Miller
in conference, probably on the subject
Of declaring martial law in Cape ports.
Moedwill, the scene of the bold at
tack by Commandant De La Rey on
Col Kekewich's camp, is rs miles west
of Pretoria and Is west of Rustenburg

Moedwill, which is close to the Maya
tos Pass in the Magaliesberg Range

A telegram from Bloemfontein indi-
Gates that the guns Lord Kitchener
reports having recovered We're dug up,

ener. Lord Kitchener's brother, has

Biggest Victory in the History Of
Canadian Politics Scored by
Liberals, Who Carried the
Whole Province
CONSERVATIVES DIDN'T
CARRY A COUNTY
May Get Two Seats, One in Cum
berIand and Another in PiCtou,
But the Latter Is Doubtful
Election Fought on Strict
Party Lines

Halifax, NJ S., Oct. 2-The Nova
Scotia provincial elections were held
today and resulted in the return of the
government by an overwhelming ma
jority. 1t was the biggest victory in
the history of Canadian politics, the
Liberals having carried the whole pro-
vince. The conservatives were unable
to carry one county.
They may get two seats, one in Cum
berland and another in Pictou, but the
latter is doubtful. The elections were
fought on strict party lines and they
passed off very quietly.
The Liberals were elected by ac-
clamation in Yarmouth and two in
Antagonist. The whole county of Cape
Breton returned all the Liberals with
handsome majorities. In many of the
counties the Liberal candidates ma
jorities were so large that several of
the Conservatives will lose their de-
posits. The contest in Colchester was
spirited one. Two Halifax capital
lists, B. F. Pearson Liberal and John
F. Stairs, Conservative, ran, and Pear
son was elected.
The new house will be composed of
| sc Liberals and two Conservatives.
