? nts Occupy Neutral Camp Firing
Ccnscu on November Fourth and Fifth
but Is Renewed on the Sixth.
LONDON , Nov. 13. ( New Yoik
World Cablegram. ) The Daily Chron
icle's correspondent at Maf eking , under
date of November 3 , G p. m. , says :
"Early Monday morning the enemy
opened with shell fire on the town.
After a half hour's firing we succeed
ed in knocking one of the enemy s
guns out of action , whereupon the
Boers retired. Shortly afterward they
received reinforcements from Malma-
ni and again atacked in force'but were
again repulsed. On Tuesday the enemy
opened with a heavy shell fire on an
elevation we have called Canon kopje ,
but the excellence of the fortifications
there prevented any .serious damage.
Later in the day the enemy shelled the
town with a ninety-six pounder , also
with small field artillery. A few build
ings were wrecked by a big siege gun
and two lulled.
"On Wednesday the enemy made a
general attack on all sides under cover
of a very heavy shell fire. We replied
vigorously from our Hitchkiss seven
pounders and also poured a raking fire
from our Maxims. The enemy was
eventually driven back after a very hot
engagement , throughout which all our
men behaved with great spirit. The
casualties on our side were slight. The
enemy's loss is estimated at fifty killed
besides many v/ounded.
On Thursday shelling was resumed
at an early hour the
, ninety-six-pouud-
er being again in evidence. Later in
the day the enemy , to the strength of
2,000 , took up a position to the west
ward with the evident intention of
making a general advance when a
heavy thunderstorm broke out , alter
which the Boers retired , having fired
a few volleys from rifles and Maxims.
So far the shell , fire has had a re
markably small effect , though the en
emy's gunnery practice is excellent.
The absence of a disastrous loss of life
on our side is entirely due to the admi
rable fortifications prepared by Badea-
Powell.
By agreement with Joubert on No
vember 4 , wounded women and civil
ians and the railway and telegrapn
staff vere moved four miles out of
town to escape the bombardment in a
neutral camp. Ninety-eight of the
Dundee wounded , including officers
Beckett , Hainmersly and Adams of fhe
staff , Boultbee of the Rifles Perrean
and DIbly of the Dublin Fusilesrs , Wei
don of the Leicesters , were sent in un
der a flag of truce on November 4. All
are doing well.
FIGHTING IN VENEZUELA.
General Paredes Finally Surremlers.After
Terrible Battle.
PUERTO CAEELLO , Venezuela ,
Nov. 13. General Paredes , a former
commander in the army of ex-Presi
dent Andrade , who had refused the
demand made upon him by General
CiprJano Castro and the do facto au
thorities to surrender the town , even
when this was re-enforced by the re
quest of the British , American , French ,
German and Dutch , commanders sur
rendered this morning at 10 o'clock
after a terrible battle.
The aspect of the city is one of ruin
and devastation and it is estimated
that upwards of G50 persons were
killed or wounded during the fighting.
Dr. Braisted of the United States
cruiser Detroit and other surgeons of
the various Avar ships in the harbor
are ministering to the wants of the
wounded.
General Ramon Guerra began a land
attack on the town and the position
of General Paredes on Friday night.
Desultory firing continued until Sat
urday morning about 4 o'clock and
then a fierce struggle ensued. General
Paredes made a stubborn defense , but
General Guerra forced an entrance
into the town at 5 o'clock yesterday.
As early as 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing the fleet arrived and began a bom
bardment , but the range was too great
and the firing proved ineffective.
General Paredes held the fort on the
hill and Fort Liberatadcr until this
morning.
CLOSE CONTEST IN KENTUCKY.
Future Governor Is Still Subject of Dis
pute.
LOUISVILLE , Nov. 13. The second
week of uncertainty regarding the re
sult of the balloting for governor of
Kentucky begins with little prospect
3f immediate relief. The official
: ount has been in progress two days
md from a majority of the 119 coun
ties has narrowed the contest down to
i nose finish. Both sidep claim ths
jlection of its ticket , but the estimat
ed plurality of either does not exceed
5,000. While the estimates so far re-
reived favor Taylor , the result may
ilngc on the decision given by the
; ounty election commissioners in sev-
> ral places where charges of irregular-
ties are made. One of these contests ,
.hat in Nelson county , has been de-
sided adversely to the republicans. It
nvolves 1,118 votes , nearly as many
s either side claims as its plurality.

AMERICANS ENTER TARLAC.
When They Arrive There They Find
Agulnaldo anil Ills Army Uuno.
MANILA , Nov. 13. Colonel Bell's
regiment and a small force of cavalry
entered Tarlac last night without op
position. Where Aguinaldo , with his
army and so-called government have
fled , is a mystery.
General McArthur took Bamban
yesterday. This is supposed to be the
strongest position held by the Filipinos
pines except Tarlac. The brief ac
counts of the engagement received in
dicate that the rebels fought accord
ing to their recent tactics , retreating
after firing a few volleys. One officer
df the Thirty-sixth regiment is the
only American reported killed.
General MacArthur began his , ad
vance at daylight. Colonel Smith ,
with the Seventeenth regiment on the
right , Major Bell's command and the
Thirty-sixth on the left and the Ninth
in the center. Colonel Smith encoun
tered a small force at G o'clock , easily
dispersing the rebels. Major Bell se
cured a position on the mountain ,
from from which he poured an en
filading fire from rifles and Hotchkiss
guns upon the first line of the enemy's
trenches. The Filipinos stood the fire
for twenty minutes and then retreated
to the mountains. General MacArthur
entered Bamban at 10 o'clock and
Colonel Smith occupied Capas , the
first town beyond.
CUBAN'S SHOULD BE THANKFUL
Gcdcral Uroobe Issues a Thanksgiving
Proclamation.
HAVANA , Nov. 13. Governor
Brooke has issued a Thanksgiving
proclamation , in which he says the
custom prevails in the United States
to set apart one day in the year
for thanksgiving to the Supreme Be
ing for many blessings vouchsafed ,
and the designation of the day and
the invocation to the people to observe
it have been made by the supreme au
thority of the government , thus giving
material importance to the patriotic
observance of the day. The governor
general , mindful of the sacredness and
propriety of thus acknowledging and
returning thanics for the blessings be
stowed and of invoking divine aid ,
protection and direction for the future
and believing that no country nor people
ple have more to be thankful for or
greater opportunities to look forward
to , than the inhabitants of Cuba ,
deems it proper to call them to a real
ization , and with this in view he
names November 30 as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer. It is recom
mended that the cares of labor be laid
aside and that all persons convene at
their places of worship to give the
Supreme Arbiter of Destinies the
thanks and praise justly due.
SCHLEY'FAVORS THE CANAL.
Tells Why the Nicaragua Canal Should
Bo Pierced.
CHATTANOOGA , Tenn. , Nov. 13.
A correspondent of the .Huntsville
Mercury while at Birmingham talked
with Admiral Schley and asked him
if he thought the building of the Nicaraguan -
caraguan canal would be an advantage
to the United States.
Schley is quoted as saying : "I con
sider it imperative that the canal be
built. It would then enable us to
mobolize our fleets on either coast on
short notice and would facilitate our
defense in case of war and render the
American navy invincible. And then
it would open up the way to the Orient ,
where a ready market can be found
for our cotton and coal. "

FIRING FROM ALL SIDES.
LadysmltU Is Enduring a Great Bom
bardment by the Boers.
ESTCOURT , Nov. 13. A party
which rode out several miles about
noon to observe the bombardment of
Ladysmith could see a Long Tom , a
forty-pounder , posted on the railway
side of the Bulwark , firing at intervals
of six to eightminutes. . Another gun
was observed in operation a little dis
tance away. Puffs of smoke were discernable -
cernable on the opposite side , showing
that Ladysmith was withstanding a
big bombardment. The locality of the
town was nothing but a huge caldron
of smoke.
Increase of Naval Militia.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 13. The lead
ing feature of the annual report of
Assistant Secretary Allen to Secretary
Long relative to the naval militia
gives strong endorsement of the plan
for the organization of = . naval re
serve. He points out that the exper
ience of the past year has suggested
certain changes in the original plan
for this organization as contained In
the bill submitted to the last session
3f congress , and he therefore urges
that it be again pushed with the
amendments prepared by Lieutenant
Commander W. H. H. Southerlanu ,
who was for a part of the year in
Jirect charge of the naval militia bu
reau of the navy department.

American Porces Land at San Pabian
Under Protection of the Fleet ,
GUNBOATS MAINTAIN HEAVY flRE.
Gener.ilVheaton's Troops Rush 'tVnlst
Deep Through the Serf Meantime
Battalllons Form In Good Order
Charge Bight and Left , Touring : Volley
After Volley nt the Fleeing Natives.
MANILA , Nov. 11. The landing of
the American troops at San Fabian ,
Tuesday , was the most spectacular af
fair of its kind since General Shatter's
disembarkation at Baiquiri. The co
operation of the troops and the navy
was complete. The gunboats main
tained a terrific bombardment for an
hour , while the troops rushed waist
deep through the surf under a heavy
but badly aimed .rifle fire from the
Insurgent trenches and charged right
and left , pouring volley after volley
at the fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos
were captured , mostly noncommissioned
sioned officers. Several insurgent dead
and five wounded were found in a
building which had suffered consider
ably from the bombardment. The
town was well fortified. The sand
dunes were riveted with bamboo twen
ty feet thick , which afforded a fine
cover.
When the transports arrived in the
gulf they found the gunboats Prince
ton , Bennington and others waiting.
After consultation with General
Wheaton , Commander Knox of the
Princeton and Commander Sheridan
of the Bennington anchored two miles
off shore. The gunboats formed a line
inside , the Helena , Callao and Manila
close in shore.
With the first gun of the bombard
ment small beats were filled rapidly
without confusion by Major Cronit's
batalion of the Twenty-third infantry
and Captain Buck's battalion of the
Thirteenth infantry. While the lines
of boats moved shoreward , the gun
boats poured the full force of their
batteries into the trenches , soon forc
ing the insurgents to flee through the
burrows dug back of the trenches.
About 200 men held their places until
the keels of the boats grated on the
shore , when their Mauser bullets com
menced to sing overhead. The bat
talions formed in good order , Captain
Buck pursued the insurgents on the
left into the bamboo thickets.
On the right was a frail footbridge
across the river , leading to the towns.
General Wheaton , personally com
manding , ordered a charge across the
bridge and Captain Howland of his
staff led Coleman's and Elliott's com
panies of the Thirteenth and Shield's
company of the Twenty-third , who be
haved splendidly under their first fire ,
into the town , which was found to be
deserted except by the aged and some
Spaniards who had hidden in the buf
falo wallows and who came shouting
delightfully toward the Americans.
Two companies of the Twenty-third
had a skirmish along the Dagupan
road with the retreating Filipinos.
Major Shields of the staff , with his
command , captured several insurgents.
The troops camped in the rain dur
ing the night and in the morning
General Wheaton established his head
quarters in a church , quartered his
men in the houses and sent the cap
tured beyond the outposts with orders
not to return. The roads were found
to be practically impassable and it is
believed Aguinaldo has secreted a
yacht in the river Longapo , near Subic ,
for use in his flight when he finds his
capture is inevitable.
Captain Chenowith and Lieutenants
Davis , Van Horn and Bradford , with
two companies of the Seventeenth regi
ment , reconnoitering east of Mabala-
cat , attacked and routed a battalion
of insurgents , killing twenty-nine of
them. Three Americans were wound
ed.
MEETING OF THE CABINET

lished In the Philippine ) : .
WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. The cab
inet meeting lasted almost three
hours. After the aljournment two
of the cabinet officers said that the
question of a civil governor for Cuba
had not been raised. There were
seme exchanges of opinion upon the
result of the elections , all the mem
bers regarding the result as an en
dorsement of the administration's pol
icy. It was decided to establish do-
nestic postage in the Philippines , as
it has been established in Porto Rico
ind Cuba , and Postmaster General
Smith again brought up the question
3f the postal union. He is investigat
ing the situation thoroughly and will
report at a later cabinet meeting.
The question of the purchase of the
D'nited States bonds by the govern-
Tient was under discussion for nearly
in hour. Secretary Gage explained the
situation fully , and it now appears
Lo be settled that no purchases will
ae made for the present at least.
Hope for Condemned Soldiers.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Nov. 11. The
'our soldiers who were sentenced to
leath at Manila now stand an excel
lent chance to save their lives. Ir-
egularities have been discovered in
: he proceedings of the courts-martial
vhich will require correction in the
irst instance at Manila , if indeed they
lo not bar the death sentence en-
.irely.
Streets Paved With Gold.
HOT SPRINGS , S. D. , Nov. 11.
lome of the streets of Spearfish are
ctually paved with gold. City Engi-
the proba-
ieer Gates has computed
le amount at about ? 100 for each 100
eet from curb to curb , or $300 per
ilock. This is caused by the city au-
liorities of Spearfish using the tailing
rom the cyanide mills to pave the
treets , these tailing contain about 15
er cent of the gold that was original-
JT in the ore , for 15 per cent of the
old is lost by the cyanide process of
reatment.

of Doctors' Statements.
PATERSON , N. J. , Nov. 11. There
was another change for the better in
.Vice President Hobart's condition yes
terday. He was able to sit up in a
chair in his room and picked up a
newspaper and examined it , eventually
turning to Mrs. Hobart and asking her
to read for him.
The patient was evidently stronger
and took more nourishment than at
any time since his bad attack of nearly
two weeks ago. Despite the state
ments of atending physicians , the fam
ily still has hopes of his recoveiy.
They had renewed hopes from the fact
that he was able to sit up for a long
period , and by the way in which no
apparently relished his food.

ents returns from all but three of the
linety counties in Nebraska Anie-
ope , McPherson and Sheridan. On
he face of these returns Holcomb's

f any material change.
