Mill! II MODDER SIffl I- Methuen’s Column Engaged the Boers. FIGHTING LASTED TEN HOURS The Boers Were Forced to Quit Theii Position, but the British Could Not Follow Them Up. London, Dec. 1.—The war office has received the following dispatch from General Buller: “Cape Town, Nov. 30.—General Methuen reports: “ ‘Modder River, Nov. 30.—Recon noitered at 5 A. M. the enemy’s posi tion on the river Modder, aid found them strongly entrenched and con cealed. No means of outflanking, the river being full. Action commence! with the artillery, mounted infantry and cavalry at 5:30 A. M. The guards on the right and the Ninth brigade on the left attacked the position in a widely extended formation, at 6:30, and, supported by the artillery, found itself in front of the whole Boer force, 8,000 strong, with two large guns, four Krupp», etc. The naval brigade ren dered great assistance from the railway. “ ‘After desperate, hard fighting, which lasted 10 hours, our men, with out water or food and in the burning sun, made the enemy quit his position. General Pole-Carew was successful in getting a small party across the river, gallantly assisted by 300 sappers. " ‘I speak in terms of high praise oi the conduct of all who were engaged in one of the hardest and most trying fights in the annals of the British army. If I can mention one arm par ticularly, it is the two batteries of ar tillery.’ ’” BATTLE Orange River. Nov. 80.—The British arms have achieved a brilhaut victory. The enemy, strongly entrenched, held a range of hills commanding both sides of the railroad at Rooi Laagto, near Graspan. The Lancashire«, under Lewis, reconnoitered in an armored train Friday. The Boers shelled the ■ train, killing Lewis and a private. ' General Methuen then advanced, llis column made a detour and bivouacked for the night et Swink’s Pan, three miles from the Boer position. At dawn the advance began, the guards forming the reserve. The column debouched on the plain eastward of the Boer I kopjes. The Boer guns opened fire. The bat- I teries of the British artillery, posted on each side, shelled the Boers, the prac tice being good on both sides. The F.oers stuck tenaciously to their posi- , tions, firing steadily and accurately. The duel, which constantly became j hotter, lasted three hours. The Boer I shells wounded several men of the na val brigade. Finding it impossible to displace the Boers by artillery, General Me thuen resolved upon an infantry attack. A brigade of infantry, including the Yorkshires, the Northamptons, the Northumberlands and the Lancha- , shires, with the naval brigade on the right, gallantly stormed the Boer posi- 1 tions, in the face of a withering fire, j and carried hill after hili, the brigade under Colonel Money capturing tho main position against a terrific fire, but suffering terribly. ----- 9 Crange River, Dec. 2.—Boer prison ers here report that the number of Boers killed at Belmont is believed to be 140, and at Graspan 400. Among the pris oners are several with enormous red crosses on their sleeves. It is reported that they fought with the artillery. The Race to Manila. Washington, Dec. 2.—The cruiser New Orleans has arrived at Colombo, on her way to Moanila. This brings her up to the cruiser Brooklyn for the first time since their ocean race to the Philippines began. The Brooklyn ar rived at Colombo yesterday, and will coal probably in time to get away ahead of the New Orleam. The latter has been gaining of late, and has bet tered her position by two days against the Brooklyn since leaving Aden. The indications are that the New Olreans will be the first to arrive at Manila. Dispatches just received from Ilo Ilo, island of Panay, say that at 1 o’clock, the evening of Sunday, No vember 26, the Nineteenth regiment encountered an intrenched force of the enemy at Pavia, who opened a heavy fire. The leading battalion replied, and, after several volleys, the Nine teenth flanked the Filipinos, drivin them out of their trenches. The enen. retreating to the mountains. At tie beginning of the fight one captain and one private of the Nineteenth were killed. A New Triple Alliance. London, Dea. 2.—Joseph Chamber- lain, secretary of state for the colonies, in a speech at a luncheon at Leicester today said he was deeply gratified that the foreign relations of Great Britain were so satisfactory, and asserted that the country owed a debt of gratitude to Lord Salisbury for the great improve ment in Great Britain’s position. It was especially gratifying, he said, to note the friendly relations existing be tween the Anglo-Saxon branches, saying that the understanding between the United States and Great Britain is in deed a guarantee of peace to the world. Thiii statement was greeted with cheers. London, Nov. 30.—A dispatch has been received here from General Buller, giving a list of casualties among the troops engaged in the battle of Gras pan, but which is now officially desig nated as the battle of Enstin. It proves, as was anticipated, that the I’.ritish success was heavily bought. The losses announced today, added to the naval brigade casualties previously reported, make a grand total of 198, the cost of General Methuen’s second battle. In the engagement, the Yorkshires apparently bore, with the naval brigade, the brunt of the fighting, as there were in addition to three officers, 48 of the rank and file killed, wounded and miss ing. The fact that the list contained the casualties of the Ninth Lancers seems to dispose of the fears that the cavalry was surrounded and captured, especially as none of the lancers are re ported missing. i I THE CASE. New York, Nov. 30.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: No plans have yet been matured for the exclusion of B. H. Roberts from membership in the house. Mr. Rob erts’ credentials are regular in form and he is as much entitled to be sworn in as a member as any other represen tative-elect who may present himself at the bar of the house next Monday. His right to take part in the election of a speaker will not l>e questioned by the hold-over clerk, and it is doubtful if any precedents can be found to sus tain the speaker thereafter in refus ing to administer the customary oath. Precedents made in dealing with former delegates from the territory of Utah are conceded not to apply to the full-fledged representatives whom Utah as a state now sends to congress. Both democratic and republican leaders are seeking some method of dealing with the Roberts case which will take it wholly out of partisan politics. Un doubtedly the fairest and most satisfac tory procedure would be to acknowl edge the legality of the Utah member’s i readentials and to refer his disputed i qualifications, as the constitution pro- I vides, to the subsequent judgment of the house. A resolution to expel him on the j ground of his polygamous lelations would require a two-thirds vote, and in securing the majority the co-oj>era- tion of the two parties in the house would be more conivncingly demon strated than in any irregular effort to juggle him out of his eligibility on a point of order requiring only a major ity vote. It is felt by the more exper- , ienced managers on both sides that the i issue raised by Mr. Roberts’ election, 1 to lie met effectively, should be met in a delilierate, dignified and altogether I regular way. Major Howard’»» Funeral. i l , | Omaha, Nov. 30.—Major Guy How ard, who was killed in the Philippines last October, was buried here today with military honom, interment being in Prospect Hill cemetery. The funeral was strictly private, and was con ducted at the residence of Judge J. M. Woolworth, father-in-law of the de ceased, and including only the cere mony of the Episcopal church, read by Bishop Williamns, assisted by Dean Fair. Military funeral rites had been observed in Manila, October 25. The transport Manannese, with three companies of the Thirty-first infantry has arrived at Manila. She narrowly escaped disaster. The officers and sol- diers were for 12 days bailing with buckets. The steamer was unsea worthy, undermanned and short of pro- visions. Her engines broke down and she rolled three days in a typhoon. Uaed HI« Pen Too Freely. Cnillainn at Pateraon. New York, Dec. 2.—The eastbonnd Buffalo express, on the Delaware, Lackawana & Western railroad, while standing outside the station at the Van Winkle street crossing at Paterson, N. J., at 7:45 tonight, was run into by a swiftly moving accommodation train, bound from Philipsburg. N. J., to Jer sey City. Six people were killed, and there are now 20 injured at the hospital in Paterson, several of whom may die. ROBERTS Ilis Opponents Not Settled on a Plan for Getting Rid of Him. Harper« Embarrawaetl.

There will be no interruption in the issues of th' various publications. " ■ — Casualties at Graspan. I | London, Dec. 2.—Colonel Baden- I Powell, under date of Mafeking, No vember 30, has sent the following to the war office through General Fores tier-Walker, at Cape Town: “All well here. Cronje has gone with a commando and with about 20 wagons to Riceters, Transvaal, leaving most of the guns here with the Marico and Lichtenburg contingents, with orders to shell us into submission. Bombardment and sniping continue, with very small results. “The enemy’s sentries drew us out , Saturday by making a show of going away and leaving a big gun apparently in a state of being dismantled. Our scouts found the enemy hidden in force, so we sat tight. “The enemy’s 94-pounder became damaged, and has been replaced by another, more efficient. 1 am daily pushing out our advance work, with good results.

Otis* Report of Operations. Washington, Dec. 4.—General Otis’ advices to the war department show that the advance into the interior is be ing vigorously pushed, aud the Ameri can troops continue to drive back and disperse the scattered bands encoun tered. He states that Captain War wick, of the Eighteenth infantry, was killed in an engagement at Fasi, Ho 11c province, November 27. CALIXTO WAS ASSASSINATED. lie and Alvarez Stirred tho People u| to the Point of Insurrection. Manila, Dec. 4.—The steamer Sal vador, from Zamboanga, island oi Mindanao, which has arrived here, brings details of the occupation of the town by Commander Very, of the Uni ted States gunboat Castine. The revolutionists in Mindanao were led by Alvarez and Calixto, who left Luzon some time ago and for the last seven months had been stirring up the people, winning a considerable follow- ing. The commercial depression and the lack of food resulting from the is land’s blockade set the people against the revolutionists and culminated ìd the assassination on November 15 ol Calixto, a firebrand and the real leader of the revolution, by Midel, mayor of the town of Tetuan. Midel, under a pretext, secured Calix- to’s presence in Tetuan and where th« mayor station guards. The latter fired a volley, killing Calixto instantly Midel at once repaired to the Castinc and arranged with Commander Very for the occupation of Zamboanga. Commander Very asked that Dato Mandi, with 500 of his followers, sta tioned on a neighboring island, come to Zamltoanga. The following morning Midel raised the American flag over Zamboanga, the insurgents offering no resistance and evacuating the town. The Castine was saluted with 21 guns, and Com mander Very landed 100 bluejackets and took possession of the town and fortifications. Datto Mandi’s men ar rived in the afternoon. They were armed with wooden shields and swoids, and were used on picket duty. Commander Very dispatched the gunboat Manila on November 15 to Jolo to convey troops to reinforce him. A company of the Twenty-third regiment, under Captain Nichols, arrived on No vember 17, and two more companies followed them shortly. Mandi’s fol lowers then returned home and Alvarez sought to arrange for a surrender of the arms and the artillery pieces. On the afternoon of November 20, Midel called a meeting of the local chiefs, who formally deposed Alvarez as leader of the revolutionists in the is land and elected Midel president of the new insular government established under American sovereignity and con trol. The chiefs formally requested Commander Very to grant exemption from taxes until the re-establishment of commercial relations, permission to I carry arms in the mountains, religious freedom and the power to conduct local government as they had previously done, which requests, pending the ar rival of Brigadier-General Bates, the military governor of the district, tho commander granted. Commander Very then effected an apparent reconciliation between Al varez and Midel and their followers, Alvarez signing a formal resignation of the position of revolutionary leader on November 22, at a point on the coast near the rebel town of Mercels. Al varez delivered 14 Nordenfeldts and Maxims, with ammunition, which were stored on board the Castine. Eight Nordenfeldts and Maxims were delivered to the army at Zamboanga, as were also 200 rifles and ammuni tion. The artillery came into posses sion of the revolutionists from six Spanish gunloats bought by the army from Spain, which the revolu tionists looted before the Americans could get possession. Ah arez and only a dozen followers left, the remainder of the revolution ists having scattered and returned to their occupations. Commander Very, having started to occupy Zamlsianga, is considered to have handled the situa tion in its many phases with energy and diplomatic skill. Wood Will Return to Cuba. Washington, Dec. 4.—General Leon ard Wood will return to Cuba next i week. He says he expects to remain in the line of the army as long as Be ■ lives and is permitted to remain. HI« First Report. Washington, Dec. 4.—In the first an nual report of Secretary Root, just : made public, frequent reference is 1 made to the report of General Otis to show the magnitude of the task set for . him in the Philippines with the inade quate forces at his command when the 1 outbreak came, and a high tribute is paid to the courage of the troops who, i in the face cf great hardships, volun tarily consented to forego an imme diate return to their homes upon the ' expiration of their term« of service. THE GILMORE PARTY. First Authentic Account of Their Ex- perienc««. Manila, Dec. 2.—When the landing party of the United States battleship Oregon, under Lieutenant-Commander McCracken, took the town of Vigan, province of South I locos, last Sunday, they found there an escaped prisoner, A. L. Sonnenshein, who furnished the first authentic account of the exper ience of Lieutenant, J. C. Gilmore, of the United States gunlioat Yorktown, who, with a party of the Yorktown, was captured by the insurgents near Baler, on the east coast of Luzon, last April, while making an examination of the mouth of the river in an armed boat. Mr Sonnenshein was imprisoned at Araba for a long time with Lieutenant Gilmore and seven sailors, but con trived to escape, carrying a concealed note, written in naval cipher, dated Abra, November 19, addressed to “Any naval officer,” and saying: “You may have perfect confidence in anything the bearer says.” The note was signed "Gilmore.” ________ PACIFIC COAST NEWS' Commercial and Financial Happenlugt ! of lntereat to the Growlng Weatern States.
