LONDON, Nov. 13.—(New Yo;k
World Cablegram.)—The Hally Chion
lcle's correspondent at Mafeklng, under
date of November 3, G p. m., says:
"Kurly Monday morning the enemy
opened with shell fire on the town.
After a half hour’s firing we sucrecd
el In knocking one of thp enemy s
guns out of action, whereupon the
Boers retired. Shortly afterward they
received reinforcements from Malma
nl and again marked 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
Ing* were wrecked by a big Blege gun
and two killed.
‘On Wednesday the enemy made a
general attack on all sides under cover
of a very heavy ahell tire. We replied
vigorously from our llltchklss seven
pounders nod also pouted a raking fire
from our Maxims. The enemy was
< ventually driven back after a very hot
engagement, throughout which all our
men behaved (clth great spirit. The
casualties on our side were slight. The
enemy's lose Is estimated at fifty killed
besides muny wounded.
On Thursday shelling was resum-d
at an early hour, the ninety-six-pound
cr 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, nfer
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 Baden
Powell.
By agreement with Joubert on No
vember wounded women and civil
ians and the railway and telegrapn
staff were moved four miles out of
town to escape the bombardment in a
neutral camp. Ninety-eight of the
Dundee wounded, including officers
Beckett, Ilammcrsly and Adams of (he
staff, Boultbee of the Rifles Berrean
and 1)1 bly of the Dublin Fuailesrs, Wei
don of i ho Lelcesters, were sent in un

arc doing well.

MANILA, Nov. 13.—Colonel Bells
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 Ib supposed to be the
strongest position held by the Fili
pinos 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
of the Thirty-sixth regiment is the
only American reported killed.
General MacArthur began his ad
vance at daylight. Colonel Hmith,
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 6 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 Are
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.

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 Supremo Be
ing for nfany 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 patriot!'1
observance of the day. The governor
general, mindful of the sacredness and
propriety of thus acknowledging and
returning thanas for the blessings be
stowed and of invoking divine aid,
protection and direction for the future
and believing that no country nor peo
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 wiih 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 EAVORS THE CANAL.
Tell* Why the Nicaragua Canal Should

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 Ni
caraguan canal would be an advantage
to the United States.
Schley is quoted as saying: *T con
sider it Imperative that the canal be
built. It would then enable us to
mobollze 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.”

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 Baiqulrl. The co
operation of the troops and the navy
was complete. The gunboats main
tained u 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 non-commis
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 und Manila
close In shore.
With the first gun of the bombard
ment small beats were filled rapidly
without confusion by Major Cronlt’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, reconnoltering 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
Doniemlr I’nutiige Kates Will lie Kstwb

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—The cab
inet meeting lasted almost three
hours. After the a IJournment 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
mestic postage in the Philippines, as
It has been established in Porto Kico
and Cuba, and Postmaster General
Smith again brought up the question
of the postal union, lie is investigat
ing the sttnutton thoroughly and will
report at a later cublnet meeting.
The question of the purchase of the
1'nited Stales bond* by the govern
ment was under discussion for nearly
an hour. Secretary Gage explained the
situation fully, and It now uppears
to be settled that no purchases will
be made for the present at least.

The patient was evidently stronger
and took more nourishment than at
any time since his bad attack of nearly
two weeks ago. Despite the stite

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.
