 London Daily Express.

Another "True" Version of It by the
 London Daily Express.
 London, Nov 5.--The Daily Express, on the authority of pr. Miller Mcguire, famous military coach, gives what it alleges to be the authentic version of the heliogram sent by General Butler to General White during the siege of La dysmith. It is as follows:
 T have failed. Unable to try again without siege operations taking month. Can you hold out so long? If not, I suggest your firing away as much ammunition as possible and finally making the best terms. If you have any other alternative to suggest I can remain. where I am as long as you like"
 Further dispatches were exchang- ed" adds the Daily Express, land, learning that Sir George White was able to hold out, General Butler set tied down to prepare to force the Tuge- la."
 Dr. Mcguire, through whose hands half the officers of the British army have passed for study, professes to have acquired the information without seek ing for 1t some months ago.

NEW TAXES, FRESH LOANS
FURTHER BURDENS LIKELY FOR
 BRITISH HTAXPATERS.

Important Speech by Sir Michael Hicks
 Beach, Chancellor of tho Exchequer-
 Increasing Demand on the National
 Treasury Gives Reasons for Carefy,l
 Thought and Anxiety for tho Future
 Cost of Roer War Enormous.
 London, Nov. 4-What is regarded as an important announcement prepar- ing the people of Great Britain for new taxes and fresh loans was made to- night by the chancellor of the exche- quer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, in a speech at Bristol. After alluding to the enormous increased ordinary expendit- ures of the government and reviewing the war taxes, and saying that the ever increasing demand of the national exchequer gives reasons for careful thought and even anxiety for the fu- ture, he proceeds:
 "The cost of the war in South Africa is enormous" Sir Michael continuing says. Tt still drags on. It may be, when next year comes, that I may have to ask the people of this country to bear even greater burdensl and to make even greater sacrifices"
 Sir Michael Hicks-Beach announced that the government was communicat- ing with the authorities in South Afri- ca with view to a change of the sit uatiOn of the cOncentra tion c9mpS and to an amelioration of their conditions.
 London, Nov. 4.--John Morley, M. F.. speaking to-day at Forfar Scotland, asserted that the ordinary annual ex- penditures of the British government had increased G2S000,0O0 during the last ten years, or, including the suspen- sion of the sinking fund, GS2,000,000.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
AN APPEAL FROM THE CHIEF OF
 POLICE SUSTA INED.

In the Matter of the Revocation of an
 Expressman's License -The First Ap-
 Charter-A Resolution Concerning a
 New Water Contract Petition for a
 New Pavement in Howard Avenue.
 At the meeting of the board of alder men last night an appeal from the &C., tion of the chief of police in revoking an expressmans license was received This Is the first time since the new charter was adopted that an appeal of this character provided for in the char ter, has been taken.
 The appellant was Charles H. Davis, an expressman who was arrested a few days ago on the charge of theft and convicted and fined in the city court. It was alleged that Davis purchased oats from tearnster who was drawing them for Contractor Brazos, and that when he purchased them he knew that they belonged to MT. Brazos.
 When the appeal, which was in the form of a petition, was read last night Alderman Miller moved that the action of the chief of police in revoking Davis license be not endorsed and that the petitioner be granted license. Alder man Wallace thought that such action would be too hasty, and said that the matter should be referred to a commit tee. Alderman filling moved to refer the matter to special committee of three aldermen, since the charter pro- vides that such appeals shall be made to the board of aldermen alone. Alder man Corcoran spoke in favor of imme- diately granting the license.
 In answer to a question by Alderman Baldwin, Alderman Miller explained why the license had been revoked by the chief of police. He said that, since Davis had been punished in the city court, that was punishment enough and that it was unfair to punish him fur ther. He said that Davis had depend- ent upon him for support wife and family and that if he was not permit ted to follow his express business great hardship would result to the family.
 An aye and nay vote was taken on the amendment to refer to special committee and the amendment was lost by vote of 10 to 8. Then vote was taken on Alderman Miller's motion to

rom Anyone.
 Washington, Nov. 4.-The Schley court of inquiry reached the argument stage at the beginning of the afternoon session to-day. The morning sitting ! was devoted to listening to Admiral Schley and Captain Sigsbee, while they made corrections In their testimony | which had been given previously, and the introduction by Judge Advocate Lemly of numerous documents bearing upon different phases of the inquiry Admiral Schley did not make any ma terial additions to his previous state ments, but devoted himself largely to the clearing up of ambiguous points in his evidence. An effort was made to introduce two new witnesses, who were expected to give testimony on Admiral Schley's behalf, as to what information Captain Sigsbee communicated to Ad- miral Schley when he arrived off San tiago in May 1898, One of these wit nesses was Frank B. Richards and the other George Lynch, both of New York and both newspaper correspondents who were on duty in Cuba and n Gu ban waters during the war with Spain. MT. Lynch was on the press boat Somers N. Smith and MT. Richards on the Premier. They were to have tes- tified concerning the meeting of those vessels with the St. Paul, of which Captain Sigsbe was in command. The court, however. decided not to hear them.
 The opening speech of the argument in the case, was made on behalf of the government by E. P. Hanna, assistant, to the judge advocate. He began his presentation case a few minutes after the court convened at 2 o'clock. and when the court adjourned two hours later he had not covered more than half of the ground involved in the con- troversy.
 Chief Points tn HnMna's Argument
 MT. Hanna called attention to Ad- miral Schley's statement as made in his letter to the Senate that he did not know of the presence of the insurgents in the vicinity of Cenfuegos until the nlrlval of Captain McCalla May 24, but
