This report comes in private ad-
vices from Dublitza, the Bulgarian
frontier town, which is the represen-
tative headquarters of some of the Sc
cret agents through whom Mr.. Dick
inson has been communicating with
the brigands. The message is said to
be the robbers reply to the ultimatum
reported to have been sent to them
by Mr.. Dickinson (but which he denied
sending) Offering as ransom 10000
Turkish lire or pounds ($52,800) and
no more, and giving them until next
Saturday to accept that sum, after
which Tina previous offers will be
withdrawn. Mr.. Dickinson, who was
the United States consul general at
Constantinople when he was appoint
ed diplomatic agent at Sofia, went OF
ConstantinCole Immediately after the
report became current that he had
sent an Cltimatum, and he is still
there. The report that the brigands

they have come to stay and will resist

In a conversation with Thomas
Rooney, member of the official board
of the United Mine Workers of Amer

was established yesterday with so
charter members and one large tent.
Rooney also said that before tonight
there would be more than $50 men in

Ingenious Boer Tactics-Hope to Wear
Out British.
New York, Nov. 26.-Commenting on
the military situation in South Africa
the London correspondent of The Trib.
une says:
Lord Kitchener's belated explana-
tions of Major Fischer's engagement
at Villiersdorp are received with i'm
patience by the military critics, the
first reports being entirely mislead-
ing and the incident on the whole
was favorable to the Beers. Their
settled policy is to keep up a SEM
blance of hostilities by averting a gen
eral engagement at any point ana by
sweeping down Unexpectedly on
exposed outposts and rear guards and
making a successful attack. They hope
in this way to wear out the British
army and taxpayers. There is a grow
ing feeling in military circles that
Lord Kitchener has not hit upon an
effective method of counteracting
these ingenious tactics"

HORN TELLS OF DANGER.
Moonshiners' Novel Plan to Announce
Officers Con1nu.

Richmond, Nov. 26-Deputy United
States marshals engaged in raiding
the stills of moOnshiners in this sec.
ton have reported to the United
States collector of internal revenue
here that a thoroughly organized sys-
tenn of espionage and signals has been
put in vogue by the makers of noun
tain dew which serves to completely
battle the officers in their work.
The coming of the officers into the
still infested sections is announced by
lookouts posted to watch for them.
The signal is a series of horn blasts.
With the first note of warning the
blowing of horns is taken up by others
of the inhabitants until in a short
while the entire country around is ap.
prised of the presence of the officers
of the law.
Upon their arrival at any suspected
locality not a vestige of the illegal ap-
paratus or its product is to be found.
