London, Oct. 18. In tlio houeo of
commons today First Lord Treasury
itnd Government Leader Balfour brought
in tho following message from the
queen :
"The state of affairs in Africa having
constituted in thu opinion of her mitjeety
a case of emergency within the meaning
of the act of parliament, her ninjesty
deems it proper to provide additional
means for military service. She there
fore thought it right to communicate to
the house thai her majesty is, by procla
in ut ion. about to order the embodiment
of tlio militia and local! out tlio military
reserve force or such part thereof as her
majesty may think necessary for per
manent service."
The calling out of the militia and
military reserve has occasioned wide
spread wonderment. Old stories of
preparation against thu continental com
bination are revived. It is freely
rumored that the government is deter
m iti -ill to demonstrate to Europe I hut
the British army is not an unknown
quantity. Both the attitude of Europe
and that of the natives of South Adieu
having something to do with the atti
tude und tho lavish display of force is
intended doubtless not only to cheek the
ill will apparent on both sides of the
Rhine and beyond tho Vistula, but also
to guard against the black peril.
According to statistics published this
year, the militia, including the perma
nent atafTand military reserve, numbers
132,493. It is not believed the militia
are to be sent to South Africa. Prc
eumably they will replenish tho denuded
British garrison towns, and thuB per
mit the government to send to the Cape
all regulars rendered necessary by de
velopments in South Africa.
Louknzo Maikjukz, Oct. 18. A repre
aentative of the Transvaal government
has arrived iiere and is buying up all
tho provisions obtainable.
One hundred and thirty persons just
released from the Barbenton jail, Trans
vaal, have been put over the Portuguese
border.
Tiie Volkstein, the Boer official organ
at Pretoria, gives the following account
of the occupation of the British cpuip at
Ramathlabama, juBt north of Mafeking.
Tlio British camp at Ramathlabama has
been captured and sacked by General
Cronje, after severe flghtiog. "Many
burghers were killed or wounded; tun
British loss is not known." The Volk
Btoiu adds that "Success has thus far
everywhere attended the burghers," al
though it admits that in the various
skirmishes near' Mafeklng and at other
points the Boers' casualties number
some SO or 70 killed and wounded.
The Attack on Mafeking.
PujcTouiA, Oct. 10. (Delayed in trans
mission). General Cronje, after warn
ing women and children to leave Mafe
king, opened fire upon the towu with
cannon this atternoon. No response was
made. The report current at Delagoa
bay that 0000 Boers have been repulsed
at Newcastle, is false.
Tiackwalker Robbed.
Ahtohia, Or., Oct. 17. A trackwalker
in the employ of the Astoria & Columbia
Uiver railway was held up by robbers a
short distance below Clifton, at an early
hour this evening, and relieved of a
gold watch, worth $126, and a consider
able sum of money. News of the rob-

started with n posse of picked men in
hot pursuit. A telegram was received
at Clifton stating that the sheriff would
board the train at some point between
Astoria and Clifton, but inasmuch as he
failed to do so, it is thought he has spot

successful in running them to cover.

After a stay of ten days, Dr. Stynerof
the Styner Electro Therapeutic Institu
tion, of Portland, will close his office on
Saturday night.
During his visit Dr. Stjner has inter
ested a great many in his new system of
treatment for eradication of many dis
eases to which human flesh is heir, and

PLANNED ATTACK
ON MANILA
For a Paltry 50,000, He Will Abandon
This Intention Americans Have
Been Wondering Where the Gen
eral Was.
Manila, Oct. IS. General Otis has
received messages purporting to come
from the insurgent general, Piodel Pilar,
offering to sell out and deliver bis army
into the hands of the Americans. Al
though he is net satisfied that this offer
is authentic, it is not intrinsically Im
probable. The policy of General Otis
is firmly Eet against buying any sur
renders. Pilar offers for the sum of $50,000 to
refrain from attacking Manila with his
army, for the sum of $230,000 to surren
der his army after a sham battle, both
sides firing in tho air, and for $500,000
he says he will procuie the overthrow
of tho insutrection and capture of Agui
naldo, Paterno and other leaders.
In the course of the communication
lie refers to Aguinaldo in contemptuous
term?, indicating that strained relations
exist between them. Reports aie being
received from districts occupi d by the
enemy which state t hat Pilar has an
audacious plan to break through the
American lines into Manila and seize
General Otis and the archbishops. Pos
cibly thesu rumors were started with the
idea of helping him to make a deal with
the Americans.
It is needless to say the Americans
would welcome an attack of this sort.
Skirmish at San Mateo.
Manila. Oct. 18. Batson's Maccabee

tenant, were killed. A quantity of arms
was captured. The Maccabees had one
