BATTLE AT BELMONT
Methuen's Force Engaged In
Heavy Fighting.
THE BEITISH WKRB VICTORIOUS

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.
Fighting Iu Panajr.
Manila, Nov. 88. Severo fighting
north of Ho Ho began November' 31.
Four Americans were killed and 35

Mahon, and cleared tlie whole camp.
Tho dervishes bolted through tho bush,

CABLE TO THE PHILIPPINES.
Jinot Recommend Construotloa of One
at Onee.
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.

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

National Window Glass Jobtors' Asso

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.

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

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

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.

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
