THE BEITISH WKRB VICTORIOUS Drove ths Dutch From Their Iosl' lion, but Lo. Heavily ! tfct . Operation. London, Nov. 25. Before anxiety as to the situation In Natal hod been re lievod there comes news of a great bat tle at Belmont. This ha happened sooner than waa expected. Only the ofllolal account is yet to hand, but so fur a can be gathered the fighting ap pear to have been almost a repetition of the battle of Eland's Laagto. A dis patch of the previous duy estimated that the Boers iu that vicinity num bered 2,000, and that they had five iruns, ami, Judging from the absence of any statement to tho contrary in the official report, it ia believed that Brit ish wore slightly superior in number to the ouomy. The Boers had chosen a position with their customary skill, and were strong ly entrenched. Tlio British were obliged to carry three ridges in succes sion. Apparently tho guards bore tho brunt in carrying tho last ridge by a bayonet charge after its dofondura had been shaken with shrapnel. Nothing s said as to whether tho positions sc gained were held and tho destruction pf ammunition strains to iudicato that the contrary was the caao. While General Mothuen can be con gratulated upon a brilliant victory, It Is again at the cost of a heavy loss of oflioeri and men. RHuntiau In Natal. Tlio situation In Natal remains ob scure. Fighting 1 reported at boU. Kstcourt and Ladysmith. It was at first reported that heavy firing has been heard in tho direction of Willow Grange, leading to the belief that Gen eral Hllyard had made a sortie. Later jispatcbes aunounoethat General White sortled from Ladysmith and inflicted a demoralising defeat upon tho Boers. It would be premature to give full cre dences to either report. What Is quite certain is that Iady smith, Estcourt and Mooi river station iro ail Isolated, and the Boers seem able, after detaching enough troops to hold tlie British forces, aggregating 17,000, to push on toward PletenuaritB burg with some 7,000 men.

Now York, Nov. 27. A special to the Herald from Washington says: President McKlnlcy has received a synopsis of Secretary Root's annual report, which he ia now considering in connection with hi message to congress. Dealing as it does with all the event of the last year in connection with the Philippine, Cuba and Puerto Klco, and in tha discussion and recommenda tions for the future government of those new possessions it will form the basis for the most important chapter of the president's message. These are some of the most essential feature of the secretary's . observation and recom mendations: The immediate appointment of civil governors for Cuba and Puerto Rico. The substitution of civil government either by commission or a civil governor for the Philippines following the sup pression of the present Insurrection. A complete system of suffrage In the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico with educational and property qualification required for all voter. The immediate construction of a cable between the United States and the Philippines. No general reorganization of the army will be recommended by the sec retary at the present time. He will leave this subject open for further consideration until after the war in the Philippines ha beon brought to a close. It will be pointed out, however, that the retention of the bulk of the present army will be necessary for some month to come. WILL RETURN MONEY. Admiral Dewey O.Ten to Belinburse Those Who Wish It. New York, Hov. 27. A special to the World from Washington say: Any subscriber to the Dewey home fund who wishes to, may have his or her money back. John R. McLean, speaking for hi sister, Mrs. Dewey, said: "Mrs. Dewey and the admiral have been overwhelmed with, not hundreds, but thousands, of telegram of sympa thy for the affliction which has befallen them In this furious and thoughtless attack made upon their domestic life. Admiral Dewey' statement has had great effect to accomplish this revnl-' aion of Bentiment. "Among the telegram received was one from Emerson McMillan, of New York, to the effect that if any person desired the return of his sutiscriptlon to the home fund, the admiral would forward the list of contributors to him, together with any letters or dispatches requesting refunding of the money, he, Mr. McMillan, would immediately reimburse all applicants In full. "I am authorized to say most posi tively that all such request will re ceive the promptest attention. All that is necessary for thoso people to do is to forward their requests to the admiral himself and not to rush to the news paper offices with them. All that come in proper style will receive attention. "I also desire to say that nothing that ha happened to us thoughout our lives bos been such a source of grief as this public furor. Mrs. Dewey haa al ways been tha favorite in our family and has been almost Idolized. We feel her grief very keenly and propose to defend her. At present she is in no condition to say anything for publica tion. "Thi trouble has also seriously afflicted our aged mother, who looked forward to the coming of Admiral Dewey with such pleasure and admira tion, and who was so happy in her daughter's marriage. We had never anticipated the outburst, and acted in absolute good faith, as we supposed, with everybody." Instructions to Staerum. Washington, Nov. 27. United States Consul Macrum, at Pretoria, has been instructed by cable to impress upon President Kruger that it is the view of this government that the usage of all civilized nations sanctions the minis tration of a neutral representative in the interest of citizens and captives of one of the parties to the war, and he must further insist upon performing the sacred duty imposed by all the con ditions of humanity. Thia is practic ally an announcement of our govern ment upon the execution of the trust which it assumed to look after the in terests of British citizens In the South African republic. Invited to Chicago. . Chicago, Nov. 27. The Chicago Dewey committee, owing to the recent orlticisra of Admiral Dewey in connec tion with the transfer of his home, de cided today to urge an early accept ance of Chicago's invitation to the ad miral to visit this city. The date of the visit is named as May 1 of next year, and in the committee's commun ication to the admiral he Is assured that Chioago citizen do not approve of the storm of criticism recently raised. Mayor Harrison supplemented the com mittee's communication by a personal telegram in which he urged the ad miral to aooept the invitation. Carnegie's Offer Accepted. Tnnann. Aria.. Nov. 27.

TnE PRESIDENT SURRENDERED Renounced All Connection With th Insurrection and Asked for an Of fice Cabinet Minister Caught. Manila, Nov. 27. Bautlsta, presi dent of the Filipino congress, presented himself to General MacArthur today and formally renounced all further con nection with the insurrection. He was one of the influential Filipino who hesitated at the beginning of tha war as with which side to cast his lot. He wa offered a judgeship of the supreme eonrt, but declined. He now annnouces that he desires to accept the position, and say the Filipino congress and cab inet are scattered, never to reassemble. Some of the members, he adds, have re turned to their homes, while other are flying for safety. Many of tha con gressmen have resigned, snd he be lieves the Filipino soldier will lay down their arm everywhere as soon at they learn the truth. Senor Buencamino, a former member of the so-called cabinet of Aguinaldo, has been brought to General Otis s prisoner, on the transport Brutus. He had sought refuge in a village near Sas Fabian, with Aguinaldo's mother and son. The natives disclosed his identity to Major Cronin, who captured him. General Young la still in the moun tains, on the trail of Aguinaldo. ' SITUATION IN NATAL. Favorable Message From General White, at Ladysmith. Durban, Natal, Nov. 27. An official message from General White, at Lady smith, dated November 22, says: "Situation unchanged. Troops well and cheerful." The Natal Advertiser confirms the report of fighting near Willow Grange. It says: "Five thousand British left Estcourt Wednesday afternoon for reconnol sonce. They surprised the Boers at 8 o'clock Thursday morning, and occu pied the Boer position, bayonetting 80 of the enemy. At daybreak the Boer opened with quickfirers. The British artillery was unable to reach the Boers and the British position, therefore, be came untenable and was evacuated. Subsequently the artillery was brought into action, and the Boers fell back. Their object having been attained the British returned to Estcourt." Five Hundred Boers Killed. London, Nov. 27. Tho Daily 31ail publishes the following dispatch from Belmont describing the battle: "The Boers held a position which British troops would hold against al most any force. The British victory ia complete. My estimate of the Boer loss is 500 killed and 150 wounded. Mr. Knight, correspondent of the London Morning Post, was wounded. The Boer prisoners are ignorant, dirty and wretched: They say that half theix command, tired of the war, will refuse further service." MANY SPURIOUS BONOS. State of Virginia May Have to ray Cou pons Just the Same. New York, Nov. 27. The Herald says: Considerable interest has been created among investors by the an nouncement that a urge number of forged Virginia state 8 per cent bondf are afloat. It is not known how many of these bonds ore held in this city, but it is said that a comparatively large number have found purchasers here. It is the opinion of some who are consid ered authorities that the coupons from these bonds in the hands of innocent third parties will prove valid obliga tion of the state of Virginia. : - Under what was know as the Riddle berger law, in 1883, a contract was given by Virginia to the Kendall Bank Note Company, of this city, for 3 per -mt bonds, which were to bo used in fnpding the state debt. Ninety days .ter the contract had been awarded, special session of the legislature an nulled the Riddlebergor law. How ever, bonds having a faco value of $8,000,000 were expressed to Rich mond and were iieed. Later they were sold for the charges. In whose hands the paper fell is not known. Attempts were made to recover the bonds, but without success. For mors than a year, however, bank In tha North and West have heard much of the forged bonds. It is said that in St. Louis last July a trust company loaned $30,000, taking a large block of tha worthless paper as security. In that case there was no attempt at fraud, and the loan was repaid before either the borrower or lender knew that the security was without value. ' 1 Window-Glass Jobbers Organise. New York, Nov. 27. Fifty jobbers In window gloss, after a two days' ses sion in this city, have organized the National Window Glass Jobtors' Asso cation. In effect the new association will be a purchasing agent through which the individual jobbers will buy their stocks the individual jobbers having no dealings with the manufac turers whatever. Street Railway Strike. Detroit, Mich., Iov. 27. After a meeting lasting four hours, the street railway employes of the city at 4 A. M., deoided to strike within 48 hours unless the Citizens' Street Railway Company accede to certain demands which will be presented to them today These demands include the reinstate ment of certain discharged employe and adjustment of difference with re gard to the crews of suburban cars run ning into tto clt. CENSUS OP DAIRY PRODUCTS. Requirements of the Uw la Regard to Statistics. The law requires the statistics for tha 12th census of dairy products (farm and factory) to be takan on separate schedules. The division of agriculture will toko the amounts of milk and cream pro duced aad sold, and the amount of money received from their sales; also the quantity and value of all the but ter and cheese mode f 1 the farm. On the manufacturer's schdule will be taken the quantity of butter and cheese made in factories, co-operative and oth erwise, together with the quantity and cost of raw material!! (milk and cream), cost of labor, capital invested, charac ter and value of plant and machinery, etc. After the two forms of schedules shall have been returned to the census office in Washington, the like statistic of dairy product on each will be con solidated, and thus show, what never heretofore has been shown, the total yield of milk in the United States and the amounts and values of its several porducts. This assertion is based on the as sumption that the farmers shall fur nish to the enumerators, fully and ac curately, the information which tha schedules may call for. In some sections the records of cheese factory and creamery operations for the current year are destroyed, agreeably to previous vote of directors or patrons. For 1899 they should vote, Instead, to have prepared and preserved for the use of the census enumerators, who will appear on June 1, 1900, the statistics which the law says shall be gathered. In many cases failure to do this will prevent the enumerators from se curing any returns, because new man agers, or new secretarial, or new boards of control may be in charge on June 1, 1900, who will know nothing of the factory statistics of 1899 and the fig ures for 1899 are the ones which the law say shall be token. Farmers who keep no records of their transactions will find themselves in the same dilemma, on the arrival of the census enumerator, aa a factory which destroys its records. Therefore, Chief Statistician Powers Is appealing to all of them to prepare in writing, while the necessary facts are fresh in mind, such a statement of milk, cream, butter and cheese products as will enable them to reply promptly and accurately to the inquiries which the law says the enumerators must make. If they shall fail to do this, the sta tistics of dairy products in their coun ty will be incomplete, and will com pare unfavorably with those of counties wherein the returns are more accurate. - THE POPE WORKS HARD. How the Supreme Pontiff Pasaes Each Day at the Vatican. Rome, October. 23, U9. (Special Cable.) Pope Leo is an early riser, and by that I mean a man who is out of bed and at work at five o'clock in the morn ing. He takes a light breakfast a little very weak coffee with plenty of milk, and a piece of bread. He works, reading or writing and receiving some visits, until lunch time. In the after noon he takes his walk, and when in ordinary health spends some time In the gardens of tha Vatican; then he return to his apartment, where he says his rosary. He may then receive a few visitors, after which ho takes a nap and dine. At ten P. M. he reads the newspapers and then retires for the night. The Pope thus really works all day long, and latterly he has taken nourishment four or five times a day, but always of a light character' a lit tle meat, soups, bouillon, a glass or two of Mariani wine and a good deal of milk, which forms tha larger part of his diet. During his recent illness very little medicine was given him; the physicians relied principally upon rest, nourish ment and stimulants every now and then, but always in small quantities. The Pope's nervous energy, as al ready noted in a previous letter, is something remarkable in one of his ad vanced years, and when he comes out of his apartment he almost runs walk ing so fast that his attendants can hardly keep up with him. When he is to be carried in state into the Sistlne Chapel, to attend or preside at any ceremony, the clanking of the sabres of the noble guard on the marble floors can be heard a long distance off, and several minutes be fore tha procession reaches the chapel. The Pope, it seems, although sleeping well and enjoying his afternoon uap. which he takes every day, does not sleep so much at night, during which be may get up several times, and even jo to work. A house to house secretary is the lat est employment which an enterprising woman has devised for her sex. She declares she has found scores of women unable to write their social notes and letter creditablv. while others are sim ilarly unaole to attend properly to their business letters, and by employing a secretary for these purposes they not only escape blunders, but add some thing to their prestige by the fact that they only sign their letters, and are, therefore, known to have a secretary, ' FUNERAL OF IIOBART :ii Impressive Religious Ser- vices at Paterson. SERMON BY BEV. DR. MAGIE Distinguished Men of thn Hatlon Pres ent Remains Placed In Vault at Cedar Lawn Cemetery. Paterson, N. J., Nov. 28. With the impressive religious ceremonies of the Presbyterian church, and with the dig nity due to his high office, all that was mortal of tie vice-president, Garrett A. Hobort, was committed to the earth. The president, Secretary of 1 State John Hay, Chief Justice Fuller, ex-Vice-President Levi P. Morton, ex Secretary of War Alger, Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, the supreme court judges, members of the 1 senate, " members of congress and the vice-presidents' personal friends filled the beau tiful Church of the Redeemer, and with moistened eye and bowed head testified silently and eloquently to his worth as a statesman, friend and neighbor. Through the west window from the center of the stained glass Maltese cross pierced a shaft of crimson light that shed its light around the cata falque and bathed the orchids, nar- . cissns blossoms and white rosea in bright tints. The eye of the clergy- -f man, Dr. David Magie, traveled along the shaft of light to the cross as he re peated the words: "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be . the name of the Lord." The chief magistrate of the country bowed his head in his hands. He was visibly agitated. There was scarcely ' a dry cheek in the crowded edifice, and the widow was comparatively the most composed. All the pomp of an official pageant, which was omitted in deference to the wshes of the deceased, could never have caused the impres- siveness of this scene. '1 Through a long lane of thousands of uncovered heads, the cortege wended its way to Cedar Lawn cemetery, where the body was placed in tho receiving ' vault. THE KHALIFA IS DEAD Killed in a Battle With the Anglo- Kgyptlan Army. Cairo, Nov. 28. Lord Cromer, the British minister here, has reoeived the following dispatch from General Kitch- ' oner: ' ' 'Wingate's forces caught up with the khalifa's force 77 miies southeast of (jedil and attacked it. After a sharp fight he took the position. The , khalifa, who was surrounded by a body-guard of emir, was killed, and , all the principal emirs were killed or captured except Osman Digna, who es-1 caped. The dervishes were utterly de feated, their whole camp was taken and thousands surrendered. A large ' number of women, children and cattle . also fell into the hands of the Anglo- ' Egyptian force." General Kitchener also wires: "We took the entire dervish camp. AH the dervishes not killed surren dered. I cannot speak too highly of ' the excellent behavior of the troops, and their enduring the long, tedious ' marches preceding the final ' aotion. From 4 o'clock in the morning of No vember 21 until 6 o'clock in the morn-' ing of November 34 they marched 60 miles and fought two decisive action. "The Soudan may now be declared to be open."
