.Free Staters, the result being a com
plete viotory for the Klmberley relief

' General Methuen found the Boers
' strongly entrenched and provided
with plenty of jjuns. The ground they
chose to defend was cleverly selected,
and In driving them from their posi-
. tion, the British troops had to carry
three ridges - in succession, which
: geetns almost a repetition of the battle,
of "fjland's IaagtQ. The last ridge
was carried at the point of the bayonet
by the guards. The British losses as
officially reported were three officer!
killed aod 22 wounded; 66 men killed,
130 wounded and 22 missing. J The
Boers lost heavily, and 40 prisoners
were taken, besides a great quantity

ING NEAR
Insurrection on Luzon
About Stamped Out.
Manila, Nov. 26. The news which
the steamship Brutus brings from
Dagupan dispels all doubts that tbe
so-called Filipino republic is crumb
ling like the house of cards. Aguinaldo
is deserted or being abandoned by tbe
politicians and the man which a fort
night ago was entrenched at Tariac
and exercised de facto government
over nine-tenths of the people of Lu
zon is a fugitive in the mountains,
with small hopes of establishing the
machine. The army is scattered in
the hills on both sides of tbe railroad
and widely seperated detachments are
within tbe cordon whk-h General Law-
ton and General Wheaton have ce
mented. The ruling spirit of the
cabinet is a prisioner in Manila a
white elephant on the bands of the
authorities and the small fry are
tumbling oyer one another to get to
Manila.
Three provisional governors have
arrived in Manila to request General
Otis to install them in their old offices
under the new regime. Dr. Luna, a
brother of General Luna, and a prom
inent Insurrectionist, has arrived here
and bis friends and many others are
applying to General Otis for perm is
sioo to enjoy the luxuries of Manila.
The only large force of insurgents
known to remain are those in Cavite
province at San Mateo and in Sambles
mountains, though several seaports
have large garrisons. .
Aguinaldo began bis retreat with
2000 men under General Gregeria del
Pilar. That force was probably
brought to its present proportions by
deeertion. The lasfdeflnite news as
to Aguinaldo's whereabouts is that he
sed through Trinidad, east . of
Aringay toward Bacombong, escorted
by 200 men of the Bulacan battalion
which had dwindled from 600 within
a week.

That Comes From Natal.
LONDON. Nov. 26. The position in
Natal remains full of perplexities.
which the . oet sorship has increased.
Although a division and a half have
now reached Durban, that place is
praotically powerless until , supplied
with cavalry and artillery, and until
these arrive the situation will un
doubtedly remain grave. . ,
With three beleaguered garrisons In
Natal, besides Kimberly and Mafeking
and no signs of suooqr in the immedi
ate future,, it is no wonder that tbe
outlook is regarded as distinctly
gloomy and that the most possible is
made of General Methuen 's success,
suob as it was. ,
That battle decided nothing, and it
seems certain that many experts are
of the opinion' that the story of the
return of the pursuing cavalry, with
out getting in touch with the retreat
ing-Boers, indicates that the cavalry
discovered in time that if it had gone
on it would: soon have been on tbe
Pretoria race course with its comrades
of the hussars. It will not surprise
any one greatly if the Boers are short
ly again discovered in an entrenched
position near the spot .from which
General Methuen had just . evicted 1
them.

be-offered to Roberta taking the oath of
office. Then if the speaker overrules
the objection, to appeal from the deci
cislon in an endeavor to get a major
ity to overrule the speaker. This, it
is contended, would effectually prevent
Roberts taking his seat, and obviate I
the necessity ofobtalnlnga two-third

to expel him. Roberts does not think
that this plan will beattemped.

'Hildyard, going from Esteourt,
made a successful attack November

battery, a nayal gun and 70 mounted
troops on the enemy, occupying Bacon
Hiil, which dominates William Grange,
and bad interrupted his communica

Though confident that the end of -tbe

will not withhold any of the troops

It is recognized by the ad m inistration
that-while Aguinaldo's army , may be.

roaming about the island of. Luzon as

Strong bodies of troops will be placed
in these islands, and before , the close
of ' the dry season it is believed that
peace will prevail , througbout - tbe
entire archipelago. Only three weeks
have passed since General Otis inaugu
rated ' bis active campaign against t

are thus summarized by an official.
Aguinaldo's army is dispersed; mem
bers of his cabinet and congress, and
the president of bis congress are pris

SPAIN'S YOUNG FARRAGUT.
Tbe Midskipiu an Wha "Wmm orn
TIsMys Believed ta B la
i Spain Now.
taa
wqen, in February last, tbe now
wrecked and stranded but then pov
erful Spanish cruiser vizcaya paid a
visit to New York the naval authorities
took the most careful precautions to
insure her safety. The Maine, it will
be .remembered, had' been blown np
a few days before her arrival. The
commander of the Vizcaya, Capt. Eu-
late, protested against these precau
tions, declaring in the strongest terms
that he was willing to trust his ship
unguarded in this harbor. To the re
porters who visited him on the ship
be recalled the many years of peace
and amity that had existed between
the two nations, and then, struck by
an inspiration, he ordered to the quar
ter-deck a young- midshipman, . and.
pointing to him, asked the reporters
how two nations could ever be other
than friends when each had raised a
Farragut. One was already immor
talized, he said; the other had yet to
how by deeds of valor that the real
Farragut blood was in him.
Capt. Eulate, becoming enthusiastic
as the picturesqueness of the situation
developed, went on to explain that his
young midshipman was Sanchez Far
ragut, who was born in Minorca, off
the coast of Spain, whence the great
American admiral's progenitors had
come. He had no doubt that his yo une
sailor was of the real Farragut stock.
'Ine vizcaya sailed away and in the
excitement of the war that followed
Mr. Midshipman Farragut was all but
forgotten. Following the destruction
of Admiral Cervera's squadron and the
capture of so many prisoners, the few
who remembered the Farragut inci
dent looked in vain for a line about
the fate of young Farragut. Weeks
passed and the great naval battle bade
fair to pass into history without the
mystery being solved, until one who
remembered the incident on the deck
f the Vizcaya in New York harbor
wrote an inquiry to Admiral Cervera
at 'the naval academy, Annapolis.
?The incident doubtless interested
thi admiral, for Le took pains to make
inquiries. The result was that he re
plied through the medium of Lieu
tenant Commander E. K. Moore, as
sistant to .the superintendent of the
naval academy, that upon the arrival
of. the Vizcaya at Havana, to which

GROWTH OF FLAX IN INDIA.
Tbe Flaunt la Beared Exclusively for
the Seed aad Not for
Fiber.
r,n-nnT,ioTirnl Patterson, at Cal-
" -
cutta, in a report to the department of
state, notes a curious fact about flax
growing, reports the St. Louis uiODe
Tie wTites: "In answer to
an inquiry from a Chicago firm relative
to the quantity oi uax prwuutu uv.
exported from India, I would say that
flax is grown in India exclusively for
the seed.' In no part of -the. country is
fihe,. -rvroflnpprl- Exneriments have
been made for many years with the
same result, viz., tnat it is no prom
that a plant can be made to yield a
fiber because it can be grown in a
country. Flax, hemp and china grass
are admirable samples of this fact.
The' possible area of fiber production
of any of these in India is extremely
narrow. Hemp yields fiber in Euseia
and other countries and cannot be
made to produce the narcotic In In
dia the very reverse is the case, except
in a small portion of the Himalayas,
where it yields admirable fiber and no
narcotic to speak of. While large areas
of flax are .cultivated in almost every
part of India and Burmah, it is grown
only tor the seed, of which large quan
tities are exported, and not for fiber,
and there is no flax exported from In
dia." Young Girls

They eat less and less, become
paler and paler and can

They are on the steady down

no good; strychnine and bit

that will nourish them better,
and a medicine that will cor

Getting Her Honey's Worth.
A young woman I know went to a
Spiritualist senace once upon an even
ing, and though she strained every
nerve in an effort to concentrate her
mind on her dear and gone acquaint
ances, there was no message for her,
relates a writer in the Washington Post.
Quite late in the evening the medium
announced the presence of a spirit call
ing himself Uncle Jimmy. The young
woman immediately rose and claimed
him. . Uncle Jimmy said he was doing
nicely, sent his love to all the family,
and departed. As the young woman
and her escort left the hallv the esoort
ventured to say: "Why, I didn't know
you ever had an uncle named Jimmy?"
"I never did," said the young woman,
cheerfully, "but I wasn't going to pay
SO cents to get into that seance and not
get anything at all for my money."
Prehistoric People.
Evidences of the prehistoric peoples
who inhabited the valleys of the Gila
and the Salt rivers are continually com
ing to light, and enough testimony has
been found to reveal the fact that in
these valleys once dwelt a mighty and
populous people, numbering not lew
than 1,000,000 2,000,000 certainly, and
probably reaching 3,000,000.
