A Manila dispatch of November 10,
ri:03 p. m., says that the landing of the
American troops at San Fabian was
the most spectacular of Its kind blnce
General Shnfter'u disembarkation at
Daiquiri. The 'co-operation of the
troops and the navy was complete. The
gunboats maintained a tcrrillc bom
bardment for an hour, while the troops
rushed waist deep through the surf
under a heavy but badly aimed rille
lire from the insurgent trenches and
charged right and left, pouring volley
nftcr volley at the ilcclng rebels. Forty
Filipinos were captured, mostly non
commissioned olllccrs. Seven Insur
gent dead and five wounded were
found In a building, which had buf
fered considerably from the bombard
ment. The town was well fortified.
The Band dunes were riveted with
bamboo twenty feet thick, which of
fered a good cover.
On landing, the battalions formed In'
good order. Captain lluclc, with
Price's and Pattern's companies, pur
sued the Insurgents on the left Into
tho bamboo thickets. On the right
was a frail footbridge across the river,
leading to the towns. General When
ton, personally commanding, ordered a
charge across the bridge, and Captain
Howland of his staff, led Coleman's
and Ellott's companies of tho Thir
teenth uud Shield's company of the
Twenty-third, who behaved bplcndldly
under their first fire, into the town,
which was found to be nearly desert
ed except by the nged and some Span
iards who had hidden In the buffalo
wallows, and who came shouting de
toward the Americans.
The troops camped In the 'rain dur

Another one dated Saturday morning

force be content with the brief stereo

this condition of things Is no longer

that tho real delay in transmission is

Moreover, the Dally Telegraph an

Duller In Htipiirrmiliif; tlio Truth.
A London special dated November
10, 4:30 a. m., bays that the sent and
conflicting news from the seat of war,
and the fact that General White lias
not yet said a word u'jont the alleged
fighting around l.adysmlth, tiro again
producing a feeling of gloom. It may
bo that General. Duller has thought
best to keep It to himself. Indeed,
this Is the version that Is beginning to
be believed, as It Is held to bo impossi
ble that the news of heavy fighting
brought in by Kuftlrs in such circum
stantial detail can bo wholly ground
less. If this be so, It Is ominous, for
there could be no grounds for conceal
ing favorable news.
It cannot bo long, however, before a
change occurs. General ltuller's forces
will soon arrive ut Durban, and will
probably begin the advance to tho le

PAPER FAMINE THREATENED
.Mill t'imbin to Work lull Time On
Account or Scarcity of Water.
The paper problem Is getting lo be a
very serious one, and the trouble Is be
coming neute. In a recent Issue tho
New York Commercial, speaking of the
subject said:
Never have paper manufacturers
been so short of water as now, and It
Is currently reported that unless rains
come soon In the eastern part of the
country there will be a famine In pa
per of all descriptions. Jobbers are
beginning to feel the effect of the
prospective famine, and are trying lo
prevent their eustonlers from putting
In further orders. So serious has the
matter become that all prices on paper
nre withdrawn nnd bills are stamped
that all pi lees are subject to change
without notice.
Tho worst situation Is In New I'.ng
laud, where the mills have so little
water that they are closed down part
of the time, and unless rain falls soon
they 111 have to close enthely. Holy
oko is especially alllleted. Tho Con
necticut rher hasn't been so low in
years, and rain comes on In fitful show
ers, which amount to nothing. The
same general statement applies to the
entire Connecticut Valley. None of
the mills on the river, of which there
are a large number, have water enough
to keep them running full time.
Maine has not felt the drought so se
verely, but the water Is low In all man
ufacturing centers, and unless copious
rains boon fall some mills will make
but very little paper this winter.
New York state manufacturers have
been more favored than most of the
others, nnd a larger proportion of the
mills ate enabled to run full time.
They are far behind In their orders,
however, and the situation promises no
Immediate Improvement.
In tho west, especially Wisconsin,
water Is low and the output of the
mills Is seriously curtailed, and the
prospect nppcnrs discouraging. Some,
manufacturers say that they will bo
compelled to stop work entirely if they
do not have rain.
Tho shortage In paper could not have
come at a more inopportune time. The
demand for news was never so large as
now, uud is steadily increasing, It has
been u grent news year, and the dallies
have been turning out larger editions
than ever befoie, and there seems to
be no prospect of a diminution in de
mand. For book purposes there Ik on
equally strong demand, occasioned by
the increased output of books. Prices
on both book and newspaper are
10 to 'M per cent higher than they
were three months ago, nnd quota
lions are not guaranteed for the day
they arc given out.
The prospect of a famine becomes
the more serious when it Is known that
jobbers were never to busy as they uro
now. They are away behind In their
deliveries, and more than one large
jobber will not go nenr his office. Oth
ers will not answer tho telephone for
fenr Lome buyer is going to put in a
vigorous kick about delay in filling
orders.
Even the International Pnper Com
pany Is ernmped hi Its deliveries, und
is said to be refusing all foreign orders,
until it Is certain that It can take care
of its own customer's.
