iioeTH got a reverse which may possibly
for a time at any rate cheelc all aggros
give action. The Hritish artillery prac
tice In tlie early part Of tile day .decided
tlio battle. The seizure of Dundee jiill

Swarming Doers, still the DrUlsh artil

energy ."and precision. The batteries
from the camp took up positions to tho
south' of tlio tqwn and after , a quarter
hour's magnificent tiring,' silenced .the
guns on the hills. .
D.ireetly the Doer guns censed ilring
Gen. Symons ordered the infantry to
move on the position. Tho infantry
charge, was magnificent. The way the
King's Uoyal riiles aifjl the Dublin
fusiliers stormed tho position was one
, of tho. most splendid sights ever seen.
. The (iring of the Hoers was Hot so
deadly as might have been expected
from troops occupying such an excel
lent position, but the infantry lost
heavily going tip the hill and onlv the
consummately brilliant way in which
Gtiu. Symons had trained them to fight
ing of the kind saved them from being
swept away. Indeed the hill was ul-
.most inaccessible to the storming ptir
ty and any hesitation would have lost
tho day.
DyiiiuiiUu'H Awful Work.
Cape Town, Oct. SI. Dispatches
dated M. 'if eking, Saturday night and
-carried by dispatch riders via Daniel-
slcuill to Hooktown, state that Col.
.Itadcn-l'owoll inflicted a tremendous
blow on the Hoers nine miles north of
Mafeking. Two trucks laden with
dynamite, which it was judged unsafe
to keep in Mafeking on account of tltu
explosion should the town Ins shelled,
were sent by Col. Hadou-Powell nine
miles out in tlio hope that tlio Hoers
would shell and explode them. And
go it happened. When the engine hail
uncoupled from the trucks and re
treated about a mile the enemy shelled
the trucks with the result that a ter
rible explosion occurred killing, it is
estimated, 100 Hoers.

St, Louis, Oct. 21. The United States
court of appeals yesterday decided
that suicide cannot bo urged by an in
surance company or other organiza
tion as its reason for refusing to pay
on a policy, unless it can be shown
that the individual at the time of sub
Hcribing for the policy contemplated
suicide. In its decision the court of
appeals supported the decision in the
lower court, in tho case of Ilosa H.
Jarman against tho Knights Templars
and Masons' Life Indemnity company.
Tho woman's husband, .John 1'. .lar
man, committed suicide in this city
one year ago, while insane, and the
insurance company refused to pay the
. 85,000 to his widow on the ground that
her huslKiiid, having killed himself,
his heirs had forfeited all right to it.

Washington, Qut. 03.. With ben.
Lawton's seizure oTSan Isidro and the
movement to bo commenced iniinedi
ately by Gen. MacArthur from Angeles,
along the railroad toward Tarlac, the
fuitltorities. hero say that the autumn:
eanjpaign fti the Philippines has com
menced in earnest and "Will be pushed
with vigoi1. The object of the present'
movement was thus explained y an
olllcli.i oi the war department: .
, rrctij Iinu'ton Is u contlnua Ids lulvaiiep north

of 11,100 men, will follow tho' lino of tho rnllroiul
front AiiboIos to T.irluo. ciilllnir for re.-enforco- .
ments ns they tiro ncbilcd. . " .
Oen. Lawton started his movement
first, with the idea that he Would draw
the enemy away fropi the railroad and'
thus make MacArthur's advance easier
and insure the use of the railroad for
transport atloh.o'f troops and supplies,
to an itdvantod point' in the enemy's
country. Ron. Law-ton has taken with
him 'supplies for a 10-diiys' campaign
and It is expected that he. will, reach.
Tarlac long before his supplies are ex
hausted. . .
A little new- flag on the map in the
ofllce of tho secretary of war was pinned
in the gulf of Lingayen; This indi
.cates that an American man-of-war is
stationed OH Dagupan to prevent sup
plies from reaching the rebels from
the northern end of Luzon, which here
tofore has been unprotected.
Admiral Dewey, in his conference
with tho president, recommended this
cour.se, and the American fleet under
Admiral Watson is being increased
with the purpose of distributing tho
navy along the coast bo as to capture
supplies and compel the enemy to live
on their own resources while the army
tightens its lines.
The military and civil authorities at
Manila are putting into force a num
ber of reforms calculated to purge tho
city of gambling and debauchery. Lato
mail advices received here state that
arrests have been made of persons ac
cused of taking women to the city and
conducting various gambling schemes.

Manila, Oct. 2:5. An American nfllucr
was killed and two men wounded by
the Filipinos in an attack on a launch
with Oen. Dawton's expedition in the
Uio Chiquita, near San Isidro. The
rebels fired volleys from the shore.
Oen. Otis has replied to the three in
surgent officers who entered Angeles
last Friday with a request, made
through Gen. MacArthur, for permis
sion for a Filipino commission, headed
by a Lilipiuo major general, to visit
Gen. Otis in order to discuss peaco
terms and to arrange for the delivery
of more American prisoners, that the
desired interview cannot be granted,
because the suggested propositions of
the Filipinos are vague, indefinite and
Uninilltary anil because the Americans
must con tin uo to decline to receive any
representative of the so-called Filipino
government.

London, Oct. 21!. The Press associa
tion announces witli an air of author
ity that the government's plan is to
terminate tho war in the speediest
manner possible after tho forts of Pre
toria and Johannesburg have been
razed, and then to promulgate, by or
der of the queen in council, a new con
stitution for a group of five federal
states Cape Colony, the Transvaal,
Natal, the Orange river Free State and
Rhodesia under the title of the Do
minion of South Africa, the crown to
nominate a governor general and tho
five states having power each to elect
its own lieutenant governor, and to
have local legislatures, with a domin
ion parliament to meet at Capo Town.
With some modifications, tho scheme is
based upon lines similar to those of tho
Canadian government.
