After Fonr Honrs Fighting the Britisb
Silenced Their Gnus,
BRITISH SITUATION
IS IMPROVING
Eight Thousand Troops Reached South
Africa iu the Last Forty Eight
Hours Thousands More This
Week.
London, Nov. Hi. A special diBpalch
front Durban, (luted Thursday evening,
says:
"Native niniiere who have jUBt nr
rivod liure from DrukonBlnirg district ru
port tlmt tlio Hours Buffered a Bevero do
font at LndvBinith this morning. The
Uoer guns wore silenced after four bouts'
fighting during which the Boer Iobscb
worn heavy, o details jecuived."
Aid For General White.
London, Noy. 13. Tljp miiiultaneouB
attacks on LadyBtnith, Mafeking and
Kimberley which opened Thursday
manifest tho full recognition by the
Voeru of the fact that every day lessens
thoir chances of n successful onslaught
on any nf tiie throe British strongholds.
Joubert's chance of reaching l'ieter-
trarii-burg can be said to have vanished.
This is already reported to be admitted
by Colonel Schiol, the German officer
commanding the Boer artillery, who is
auppoHed to have been largely the author
of the Boer plan of campaign, and who
in un interview is alleged to have said :
'Tho Boers' intention was to have
captured l'ietermunt.burg and tneu to
dictate terms. But ail hope of ac
complishing this must now bo a
bandoned. There is no doubt that from
u British point of view the British situa-
Hon is rapidly improving. Nearly 8000
troops reached South Africa during tho
luat forty eigiit hours, and by the end of
week from 0000 to 7000 more will be
added to the British strength iu Natal.
These will probably bo pushed forward
to Estcourt, bringing the British force
there up to 10,000 men and making a
general attack on Lndysniith by Genoral
Jouucrt vory hazardous."
As cavalry and artillery belonging to
General Methueu's division will not
have arrived by then, the advance from
Eatcourt may be delayed, but if it is
deemed essential to open communication
with the boleuguored town at the earliest
possible moment, Genoral Mctiiuon, it
is believed, may decide to replace the
regular cavalry nnd artillery by the
Natal and outlimder mounted forces and
the naval guns, in which case it is
claimed it ought to bo possible to occupy
Golenso and stretch out a hand to
White by Monday.
It is believed the course to be followed
by Methueu must necessarily he dictated
entirely by oflicial knowledge of General
White's position and resources, and ex
ports hope Methueu will be able to await
concentration of tho whole, division be
fore advancing, and thus have a better
dunce of dealing u telling blow at Jou
bert's main army, which, it is asserted,
will b caught botwean two British forcos
uml compelled either to fight a gonerul
action or retire.
News of Uoer Defeat.
London, Nov. 13, Tho DraUonsburg
dispatch by way of Durban, which was
brought in by n Kaffir, reporting severe
defeat of Boers at Ladysiplth, Thursday,
may turn out to be correct, but in view
of previous experience, it must be re
ceived with caution. It appears, how
ever, certain that heavy fighting occur
red, and that the lyddite of tho naval
guns must have had a dire effect upon
the burgher forces if it reached them.

Struggle With Insane Man.
St. Louis, Nov. 12. In the grasp of
hor Insane husband, Mrs. Ralph Reif
battled for her life from 7 p. m., Satur
day until 2 a. in., Sunday. She had
been kept a prisoner by her husband in
their third story flat for three days. For
two days of this time she was without
food. When she attempted to leave the
room her husband would seize her and
bring her back. A tenant on the floor
below, hearing the disturbance, finally
called a policeman. Forcing open the
door, Mrs. Reif was found on the bed
with her hujband's hands clutching her
throat. She was struggling feebly, but
was too weak to offer much resistance.
Reif was taken to the city hospital. He
had been confined in the insane asylum
for several months, but was released
three weeks ngo, at the request of his
wife, as it was thought he was cured.
Reit is a bricklayer.

AGUINALDO'S SEC
RETARY CAPTURED
Col.
Hays Takes Him Army Believed
to Be Surrounded Defeat and
Disease Utteniy Broken Filipino
Spirit.
Manila, Nov. 13. General Young ip
supposed to have reached San Nicholas,
about thirty miles east of Dagupan, but
his wagonB are far behind. Colonel
Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's secre
tary, and Major Coleman is in Carrang
!an with an escort of 175 bolomen on
his way to the province of Nueva Vieayn.
A sou of General L'.aneras and his family
are prisoners, ihe general Dareiy es
caped.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press with General Ycung telegraphs
from San Jose that Aguinaldo did not
escape to the northwest. He and his
army, the correspondent adds, are sur
rounded. Hie last order to the Filipino
commander at San Jose were to hold
San Jose and Carrauglan at all costs.
The recent encounteis were too one
sided to be called fighte. Insurgents
are mortally afraid of the Americans,
however strong their position. They
made but brief and feeble resistance,
and run when the terrible American
yell reaches their years, whereupon the
Americans pursue them and slay them.
The moral effect of the news that
00,000 troops are on their way here has
been unquestionably great. Insurgents
are suffering more from disease than from
the Americans, owing to poor food, lack
of medicines, and a filthy hospital, with
the result that there is great mortality
among them. General Lawton has inter
cepted n telegram from an insurgent
captain to a Filipino general, reading :
"How can you blame me for retreating
when only twelve of my company were
able to light?"
Washington, Nov. 13. The following
dispatch from General Otis was received
at the war department today :
"Manila, In WaeArthur s advance,
the Thirty-sixth volunteers and cavalry
troops under Bell entered Tarlac at 7 :10
p. m., yesterday. The enemy fled, but
by labor MacArthur succeeded iu getting
forward to Capasya all artillery and
quartermasters' transportation, and will
have command in Tarlac today. His ad
vauce is pushing torwaru to save as
much of the railroad as possible, which
the enemy is trying to destroy in the re
treat. Many deserters from the enemy
passed into MacArthur's lines, witli
somo thirty rifles yesterday. Insurgents
in that section are reported to be short
of provisions.
"Lawton is pushing forward with great
energy, ins advance being onnged to
leave behind all transportation and de
pend to a great extent upon the country
for subsistence."

Sheep Arc la Fine Condition.
Pendleton, Or., Nov. 12. Charles
Myers, livestock inspector for Umatilla

juat come iu from the ranges, where the
bauds are now about all in winter quar
ters. Mr. Myers has found, of fourse,
some elieep in need of being dipped by
the inspector, but not ninny, The re
markably fine range of the fall season
has put the sheep in ideal condition, and
rendered thorn able to resist the ravages
of disease. Scab is the malady most af
fecting the sheep, and this is com para
tlvely rare this fall. Mr. Myers has not
yet finished his fall inspection of the

he will proceed at once to the completion
of this official work.
