BOERS SUNDAY
LOSSES HEAVY
British Arc Just Waking Up to the Fact
That the Foe is Worthy of Their
Steel They Had Greatly Under
estimated the Fighting Boer, Both
as to Number and as to Equipment
London, Nov. 7. It is nnnounced in a
cahle dieputcti from Cao Town, dated
Sunday, November 5, hat tho British
have been victorious in nn engagement
at Ladysmith and tliat the Boer loss was
very heavy, including 2000 prisoners.
New Yoiik, Nov. 7. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London Bays:
The keenest military writers who ana
lyxu the situation, lay etreeu upon the
fact that the Dutch allieB are wasting
their resources by attacking the British
at too many pointe, instead of concen
tration their efforts upon one or two
points. This is true. Whatever ad
vantage the Boers huvo won hits been
from the recklessness of their enemies.
The Boers have made graver tactical
mistakes than the English etafl', althougl
ita record is not particularly brilliant in
defenmve work, and they have ullowed
three weeks to slip by without winning
a decieive success by virtue of over
whelming superiority iu numbers.
London, Nov. 7. An official dispatch
from Ladysuiith, dated Monday, auyn:
There hus been a cessation of hostilitee
eiuce Friday. Only one Kaffir was killed
by the Boer bombardment.
London, Nov. 7. Such scanty intelli
gence br is filtering from the front is
generally accepted here as reassuring,
although the later report agree that the
lighting outside Lndysomh on Thursday
and Friday was muchinore eevere than
is indicated by official accounts. There
is no longer euch Byuispouition to jump
at tho conclusion ,that a crushing blow
has been in flic ted by Boers as was shown
before. British contempt for the burghers
hus boeu modified by defeat.
While, howevor, anxiety iu regard to
the i mined Lite stress of Ladysmith is
alleviated, there is a widespread fear
that theauthoritioBare badly blundering,
and may find too late that the maiu ex
pedition will prove too weak to complete
its tutk with safely and dispatch, as the
Natal force has already admittedly failed
to perform what was expected of It.
The confession last evening of General
Lord Woleeley that the Boers were more
powerful and more numerous than an
ticipated, sufficiently explains the pre
eent happenings, and the war office will
hereafter tiave awkward questions to
auewer in regard to its apparent colossal
ignorance of the Boer strength, which,
both in numbers of men and excellence
of artillery, is apparently a complete
ourprise to the British military authori
ties. Mail news from South Africa
ehowH how inaccurate have been the
estimates of the intelligence department
aud government experts.
It ia gleaned therefrom "Flint a fair es
timate of the Boer forces is as follows:
Around Ladysiuith, 25,000; traversing
Zululaud, 4000; udvuncing on Burghers
dorp, 0000 ; Colesburg, 3000; Kimherloy,
7000; Mafeklng, 4500, and on Northern
Trausvaul border, 2000. Exact informa
tion about tho Boer artillery Is lacking,
hut it is known Jouberl's detachment,
before it wub reinforced, consisted of
uixteen Krupp held pieces of the latest
pattern, and two heavy Cruzel siegeguus,
which but for the ppportune arrival of
tho British navul brhtade, would have
rendered Lmiymnith untenable,
Insane Asylum Report.
Baixu, Nov. 7. Tho monthly report
of the superintendent of the Oregon
(state inetuio asylum was filed in the of
fice of tho fecretary of state yesterday.
It shows that tho total expenditures for
articles consumed during October
amounted to $0249.59. The pay-roll
shows calories during the month aggre
gating $5443.72. The total for consump
tion and salaries was .til, 093.01.
The report ehowe that the average
number of patients during the mouth
was 1157. The expense per capita was
therefore $10.09. There wero sixteen
patients discharged, ten died and two
escaped. There were 150 employes.
Uoetl By llrltUU Soldiers In A men.
Capt. O. G. Dennison is well known
all over Africa as commander of the
forces that captured the famous rebel
Galishe. Under date of Nov. 4, 1897,
from Vryburg, Bechuanaland, he writes:
"Before starting on the last campaign I
bought a quantity of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which I ueed myself when troubled with
bowel complaint, and had given to my
men, and in every case it proved most
beneficial." For ealo by Blakeley &
Houghton, druggiste.
Gigantic Trusts to Combine.
Ni:w Yohk, Nov. 7. The Times says:
A $200,000,000 combination is projected.
The informal meeting to perfect this
great organization will be held at tho
Waldorf-Astoria today. It is intended
to combine all of the rubber, bicycle and
automobile companies into one great
concern, which will control the produc
tion of every article entering into the
manufacture of a bicycle or an automo
bile. In the proposed company, it is said,
all of the companies already formed will
be participants. Messrs Studebaker and
Hiker, who own numerous patents, are
said to be parties to the arrangement,
and they are also mentioned as largely
interested in the automobile company
incorporated at Wilmington, Del., on
Saturday.
It will not be u'eurprite to any who
are at all familiar with the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, to
know that people everywhere take
pleasure iu relating their experience in
the use of that eplendid medicine and
iu telling of the beuellt they have re
ceived from it, of bad colds it has cured,
of threatened attacks of pneumonia it
line averted and of tho children it has
saved from attacks of croup and whoop
ing cough. It is a grand, good medicine.

Ashland, Or., Nov. 0. John King, of
mail service between that city and Ash
laud, was seriously injured here' yester
day by falling out of a mail wagon,
which runs between the city post-office
and the railroad depot. He was crushed

and bruises about the head and was un
conscious for some time, but his injuiiee
will not provo fatal.
There is more Catarrh in this eection
of the country than all otlie diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure witli local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tohe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the murket.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaapoonful. It acts direct'.y

East Indians Object to Going to Manila
and the Boats Crew Is In irons.
New York, Nov. 7. A special to the
Herald from Waehington says: Con
siderable disappointment is expressed
by officials of the war department at
Gen. Otis' report that Gen. Wheaton's
expedition will not reach the Gulf of
Lingayen until tomorrow. Without
waiting for General Wheaton to reach
his destination, General MacArthur has
commenced his advance, while General
Lawton has been compelled to remain
inactive becauee of the fact that the
heavy rains have submerged the country.
The effect of the delay in General
Wheaton's movement and the advance
begun by General MacArthur will be,
the officials fear, that Aguinaldo will
again escape- from the cul de eac in
which it was hoped to corner him.
Boat Crew in Irons.
San Fuancisco, Nov. 7. Twenty-one
East Indians employed as oilers, com
passes and firemen on the British ship
i'atbun, recently chartered by the
United States to carry troops to the
Philippines, have been put in irons by
order of Captain Butler, because they
objected to going to Manila.
The East Indians shipped at Singapore
in September for an 18-monthb' voyage.
They are afraid of the hostile Filipinos,
but the captain thinks he will soon force
them to complete their contracts.

Washington, Nov. 7. General Otis
cables tiiat the transports Rio, Sikh mid
Valencia arrived at Manila today. Pri
