Artillery Duel at Ladyeraith Shows a

LONDON , Nov. G. ( New York
World Cablegram. ) Stevens cables
the Daily Mail of the Ladysmith bom
bardment November 3 :
"The arrival of the naval brigade on
Monday was most opportune. It would
do you good to see the great-chested ,
bearded , steadfast men amid our army
of boys. They did fine service yeser-
day , when they mounted their guns in
record time and silenced a "Long
Tom" at G o'clock. "Long Tom" was
tried again , but the bluejackets again
silenced him in the second round.
We lost three wounded , including , un
fortunately , an officer.
"The feature of yesterday's fighting
was the great variety of Boer guns dis
closed. The effect of the eight hours
artillery fight was terrible , though less
deadly than the infantry combat. An
incessant boom of guns and hiss and
rattle of shells gave a particularly re
morseless impression and emphasized
the helplessness of man before the
deadly machines which he creates.
This was heightened by the cloudless
sunshine.
"The escape of one man from de
struction by a bursting shell was very
singular. The shell burst near him ,
turning one side of his bayonet into a
complete corkscrew , a fragment of the
shell piercing his water bottle on the
other side , the man escaping unhurt.
Some are disposed to criticise our ar
tillery practice , but it must be remem
bered that the Boers' guns outrange
ours. "
LONDON , Nov. 7. The war office is

CAPETOWN , Nov. 5. The com

The fighting lasted several hours. Our
loss was very small.
"The bombardment of Ladysmith

"Its immediate object is to diminish

the war in South Africa. "

interview to be considered as likely 1
to exercise a happy influence upon in

HARRISON HOME EROM PARIS.
Former President HUH Tulk "With Kaiser
nnil DcNcrlbes Ills Trip Alironcl.
NEW YORK. Nov. C. Ex-President
Harrison , who went to Paris in May
as counsel for Venezuela before th
Anglo-Venezuelan arbitration commis
sion , was a passenger on the American
line steamship St. Paul , which arrived
here today. With him were Mrs. Hai-
risen and the baby. The passage across
the Atlantic was a rather stormy one
and Mrs. Harrison was sick much of
the time.
Mr. Harrison , who says he is not in
the best of health , declared , however ,
that he had not missed a meal through
sickness.
"I have enjoyed the trip , " he de
clared. "After leaving Paris I soent
some little time in Germany and while
there I saw the kaiser. I talked wlt :
him for a short time and found him a
very aureeable man. When you ask
me what he said , I shall have to answer
as I did in Germany when one of the
reporters there asked me that question-
'You will have to ask the kaiser. ' I
stopped for a short time in London be
fore sailing to this country. The weath
er WPS thick when I was there and I
j caught a bad cold in the fog. I at
tended a dinner at the London Cham
ber of Commerce just before sailing. It
was private. No reporters were pres
ent and I made a little sneech. "
Mr. Harrison's atention was called to
the fact that it had been reported here
that he had a falling out with Mr.
Cho.ite. "We are as friendly as ever.
I think he is a good man for the place
and he is doing good work there for
the government. "
BfG FLEET LEAVES MANILA.
Hlost Important Military Expedition of
the Autumn Campaign.
MANILA , Nov. G. This evening a
flet of transports and gunboats left Ma
nila for the most important expedition
of the autumn campaign. Its destina
tion is supposed to be Dagupan or some
other northern port.
General Wheaton commands with r.
brigade consisting of the Thirteentn
infantry , the Thirty-first infantry , two
guns of the Sixth artillery and two
Gatlings. The transports Sheridan ,
Krancisco do Reyee and Aztec carry

as escort.
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to
arrange a rendezvous with the Unite 1
States cruiser Charleston and the other
warships that are patrolling the north
coast of Luzon.
The landing will be made under cov
er of the guns of the fleet. It is as
sumed heie that the purpose of the
expedition is to move down the Dag-
upan-Manila railroad toward Tarlac or
to prevent Aguinaldo's forces making
another base further north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strong
holds of the insurgents in the north
and it is supposed are the points where
most of the filibustering parties land.
HOBART ABOUT HiE SAME ,
There is Xo Improvement in Condition
of Vice President.
PATERSON , N. J. , Nov. G. There
was no improvement in the condition
of Vice President Hobart today. Mes
sages of sympathy were received from
President McKinley , Secretary of State
Hay and Mrs. Hay and General Wes
ley Merritt. Among the callers at the
Hobart residence was Attorney General
Griggs.
Dr. Newton , who has been rather
silent about'the condition of his pa
tient , consented to talk yesterday.
"He is resting comfortably , " said
Dr. Newton.
"Do you think Mr. Hobart has a
chance to recover ? " he was asked.
"I can only compare his case with
others of this kind. "
"Did the others you refer to ever
get better ? "
"I am sorry to say they did not , "
said the physician.
DL. Newton said he would not give
an opinion as to how long the patient
might ] live.Ke . might drop off at any
moment i and he might go for three or
four } days , so remarkable has been his
vitality all through his serious illness.

Major W. A. Simpson , chief of the mili
tary information bureau of the Avar de
partment , has compilled a large map ,
showing the theater of military opera
tions between the British and Boers in
South Africa. The map is from the
latest and most authentic data and be
sides being technically exact it gives
at a glance the entire sweep of country
in Avhich the fighting is going on. The
map is primarily for the use of the war
department , but in view of the wide
spread public interest in the South
African struggle a limited number are
being supplied to libraries and news a
papers for ready reference during the
progress of hostilities.

LONDON , Nov. G. ( New York
World Cablegram. ' The South African
situation is again causing the deepest
alarm. The silence of the war office ,
which received today several dis
patches from Capetown and Durban
the holding back of the list of casual
ties at Ladysmith and finally the an
nouncement of the mobilization of the
second army corps , the tenth of this
month , all combine to show that the
position of British power in Soutl
Africa is one of the greatest peril. The
reported mobilization of the army
corps is not officially confirmed , but is
corroborated from Aldershot , where
arrangements are actually in progress
for the operation.
Your correspondent learns that the
Dutch are rising in northern Cape
town , and the revolt has assumed
menacing proportions , owing to Boer
successes , while native unrest all along
the Transvaal and Orange Free State
borders has become most menacing.
The natives cannot be relied on by
either side , but will probably fight for
their own hand with sedition spread
ing among the Cape and Natal Dutch.
The natives are only waiting to jump
in on their own account. White's force
is still beleagured at Ladysmith. This
war has suddenly become the most mo
mentous in which England has en
gaged in since the American revolu
tion.
tion.General
General Joubert's movement to cut
off White from Colenso is being carried
out and it is regarded as quite probable
that Maritzburg , the capital of Natal ,
will fall into his hands before Buller
and his reinforcements arrive.
Mr. Chamberlain , who had proposed
to take his ease at his country sent
near Birmingham while the Transvarl
was being conquered , has found it
necessary to come to town and is in
constant communication with Milner.
Lord Lonsdale proposes to take out
to South Africa 208 men of the West
moreland and Cumberland yeomanry ,
of which he is colonel , also three Max
ims and two fully equippeu ambulance
corps. He will place himself in the
hands of the war office authorities , to
whom he will make his offer almost
immediately.
The Daily Mail correspondent at
Pietermaritzburg , October 31 , says : "It
is reported that the Boer force from
Koomatiport with guns is making its
way through Zululand. It intends to
visit each magisterial district and
hoist the Transvaal flag in it. The
force is expected to reach Mavuna on
Saturday. The authorities are entirely
on the alert. "

JEEERIES WINS THE FIGHT.
Cliuniplon JcfTrlcH and Sailor Mmrkcy
Meet In King in Pink of Condition.
NEW YORK , Nov. 4. [ Special to
the World-Herald. ] There was a
breathless interval then a big brass
gong clanged out the signal for the
opening of hostilities. The champions
looked the picture of pnysical condi
tion , and subsequent events substan
tiated it. But what is tlie use of goin
over the battle by rounds. So far as
the boxing contest is concerned , it
was a burlesque on modern gladitorial
work , a rough and tumble , typical bar
room fight , In which only biting and
kicking was barred. An edifying spec
tacle for modern civilization.
There was no boxing from gong to
end. They came together like a couple
of mad bulls , and there was nothing
but pulling and hauling and mauling
until the finish. The only wonderful
feature about the affair was the mar
velous endurance of the two big brutes.
Sharkey is a demon , and had he the
bulk of the boilermaker the rowdy
proceedings would have speedily ter
minated.
Sharkey is one of the pluckiest and
most resolute and aggressive. He was
after Jeffries every minute of the
bloouy time. There was no let up. It
was rush and grunt and clash , a bruis
ing ot flesh and a crunching of bones ,
nothing else. Sharkey's left ear was
hanging to the side of his head , while
Jeftries' expansive nose was flattened
like an Ethiopian.
Both took enough punishment to
kill a dozen men , and in the twenty-
second and twenty-third Jeffries sim
ply hammered the sailor's face into a
pulp and his right uppercuts were
somthing terrific , and the human frame
must needs be of cast iron to have
withstood them. lie staggered about
the ring like a drunken man , the gong
alone saving him. The last was a repe
tition.
This time Sharkey's salvation came
in the shape of a lost gloye , Jeffries'
left flying across the ring after a vi
cious straight punch on the sailor's
jaw. Sharkey staggered blindly at Jef
fries , while Siler was endeavoring to
adjust the mitt. Realizing what this
meant Jeffries broke away from Siler
and swung his right good and hard on
Sharkey's blooming car and Siler
rushed between the struggling giants ,
separating them finally and with an
emphatic gesture gave the battle to
Jeffries.
Thus'another great fighter , after a
fashion , had tasted the bitterness of
defeat , and this time it was the bull
dog Sharkey , who merited all he got.
He was battered to a standstill , and
Jim Jeffries can rightfully claim the
mastery of all fighters , big and little ,
great and small , scientific and rough
and tumble.
ESTIMATE OF BOER LOSSES.
3Iost of Them Said to Bo Duo to Artil
lery Fire.
LONDON , Nov. 4. Belated dispatch
es from the British camp at Ladysmith ,
Natal , add little information regarding
Monday's fight , except the estimates of
the Boer losses which are now said to
be ninety-five killed and 200 wounded ,
mostly victims of artillery shells ,
which have done such great havoc that
it is said General Joubert , the Rnpr
commander in chief has written a let
ter to General White , the British com
mander , protesting against the use of
lyddite. According to all accounts the
presence at Ladysmith of the Ions
range naval guns and the splendid
shooting of the bluejackets have ma
terially improved the position of the
British. A temporary armistice was
declared Monday evening to allow of
the collection of the dead and wound
ed. A dispatch from Kimberley. dated
October 29 , said all the wounded were
doing well. Small bodies of Boers ,
about 400 strong , were then frequently
seen. They apparently came from
Mafelung , for the purpose either of as
sisting in the attack of Kimberl < xor
to lesist the advance of reinforcements.
The absence of water outside the place
causes the Boers to continually move
their ca
Xe\r Kailroad for loira.
NEVADA. Neb. , Nov. 4. Parties in

RINEHART'S INDIAN PICTURES.
In the summer of 1S9S the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress , and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before ha < l there been
and never again will theie be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them , some partly civilized , but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dians declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to j.tand against
them. This was probably die last time
that so complete and spectacular a
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and thcseiwho had the
privilege of witnessing it are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress a prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs of the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded In obtain
ing a collection which never will bo
equaled. Mr. Rinehart , thr ; . photograph T
er , copyrighted all thesejpictures and
placed in a few art stor some hand-
colored proofs which , notwithstanding
their high price , sold at on : e , and these
Indian pictures have becoiae the fad of
the year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr. Klnehart the
privilege of reproducing/The / best four
of these pictures , Chiefs ( "Wolf Robe , "
"Louison , " "Hollow Horn Bear , " and
"Hattie Tom , " and havj incorporated
them in an art calendar , r 1900 , which
is pronounced the most apistic produc
tion yet attempted. Tje heads are
Gx8 inches , one on shee , wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors ,
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures , particularly
suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the
expense but a very smt'.l edition has
been issued. They will oe sent , how
ever , while the supply la.-ts to any per
son sending 25 cents in stamps or silver
to cover the loyalty ch.irgcs and the
expense of packing and [ nailing to F.
