As yet the war oflleo has not re ceived Lord Methuen's detailed list of casualties, nor Is any Information at hand regarding tho whereabouts of tho Ninth lancers, who wero sent in pur suit of tho Doers from Oras Pan. Tho Dally Mall says that a prlvato tele gram announces that tho lancers aro still scouting ahead of Methuen's ad vancing column, but as ho announced yesterday that ho was giving his men a day's rest, that is hardly possible. Indeed tho greatest anxiety is felt and moro especially In view of tho fact that a Ucrlln journal, tho Dcutsch Warte, which regularly prints Doer communication, announced before it could havo been ascertained from Ilrit lsh sources that tho naval brigade lost 100 men at Gras Pan and that tho Ninth lancers were captured.

Tho fair prisoner says that, although her age is thirty-eight years, she has always been single, but her appearance in a neatlv flttlnir ilnrlr suit and derby hat would not indicate that she was over twenty. When closely questioned tho prisoner said that she was Innocent of the crlmo of forgery. She said It had been com mitted by her twin brother, but in or der that ho might escape punishment for the ofl'enso sho had assumed tho guut, nerself ami allowed him to capo the consequences.

She nnrrowly escaped disaster. The officers and soldiers were for twelve days ball ing with buckets. The steamer was nnseaworthy, undermanned and short of provisions. Her engines broke down, andshe rolled three days in a typhoon. When the Manauenso anchored In Manila bay this mornlnc thlrtv-tln-iwi days from San Francisco, there wero several feet of water In her hold nnd four hundred grimy, greasy, hungry, exhausted soldiers and sailors who had been passing buckets of water since November 17, night and day. First Assistant Engineer Dtnleavy was under nrrcst, and according to Col. Webb Hayes of the ship tlto chief engineer would also have been under arrest if there had been any one, to replace him. Tho colonel's report also declared that the captain of the vessel loin iiim that tho only thing which brought them through was the fact that the men were greenhorns and failed to realize their danger, while experienced seamen would have deserted the ship and taken to the boats In midocean. The Manauense is a chartered ship, Hying tho Drltlsh flag. She belongs to a firm of which Senator Perkins of San Francisco is alleged to bo a junior member. Tho officers say the firm bought her for Sfri.OOO, and they claim efforts wero mado to sell her to tho government for $150,000. Sho started from San Francisco nc csmpanied by tho transport Pckln, which carried the remainder of the regiment, and encountered heavy seas to Honolulu with accident. After starting it developed that she was undermanned and soldiers had to be detailed to act as firemen, coal passers and waiters and to do other work. Deforo reaching Honolulu tho crew concluded that the ship was not safe, and.thc majority agreed to desert. Though they were closely watched, many of tho crew succeeded in getting away and the Manauense left Honolulu with less than half her crew. Tho captain of the transport Novem ber 17 told Colonel Hayes that tho ves sel had sprung a leak, and and investi gation resulted In finding several feet of water In her hold. The steam pumps were tried but failed to work, and there were no hand pumps on board. However, forty-six buckets were found, others wero Improvised and the soldiers not employed in work ing the ship were organized into five shifts, and stripped nnd began bailing. The same day the leak was discov ered the machinery collapsed. The lighting plant failed to work and af ter tho supply of candles were ex hausted the ship was in utter dark ness at night. The captain of the ship promised the men 23 cents a day for balling, but ho now proposes to pay them a dollar and a half. The soldiers talk of at taching the ship. Tho regiment will proceed to Zamboanga on the Pckln to garrison several ports on tho Island of Mindanoa. It is asserted that tho woter and pro visions ran short, and that during the lust week of the trip the men lived al most wholly on whisky, beer, and hard tack. Stood tho Test. Prof. W. S.

The insurgents have evacuated Man galarcn, province of Pangasannn, says a Manila dispatch of November 28t'h, leaving seven American and ninety-four Spanish prisoners, who escaped in the confusion of the Filipino retreat. Tho Americans arc P. J. Green and 'George Powers of tho battleship Oregon; Thomas Edwards and Charles Dlrd ,,f tho Sixteenth infantry; Henry W.

Colonel Dell proposes to follow tho Filipinos until ho enn bring about a dcclslvo fight or they are scattered. Manglaren was strongly fortified with riflo pits, commanding tho roads, but the insurgents abandoned the placo without firing a shot. VICTORY DEARLY -BOUGHT. General Menthuen'it Triumph Over Uoen Coit lllm Sluny Men. A dispatch has been received at Lon don from General Duller giving a list of casualties among tho troops en gaged in what was hitherto known as the battle of Gras Pan, but which is now officially designated as the battle ofEnslin. It proves, as anticipated, that the Drltlsh success was heavily bought. The losses announced today, added to the naval brlgado casualties previously reported, make a grand to tal of 103 as the cu-,1 of General Meth uen's second battle. Tho Yorkshires apparently bore with tho naval brlg nde the brunt of the fighting, as thero were, in addition to three officers, forty-eight of tho rank and file killed, wounded and missing. The fact that the list contains the casualties of tho Ninth Lancers seems to dispose of tho fears that the cavalry was surrounded and captured.
