CAl'E TOWN , Aug. 7. Details have been
received here of the decisive victory won on
Wednesday by the 700 British troops com
posing Colonel I'lummcr's column over a
native force estimated to have numbered
from C.OOO to 7,000. The latter fought most
desperately and bravely , charging up within
a few yards of the Urltlsh rapld-firo guns.
About 600 of the Matabelo warriors were
slain during the engagement , which lasted
several hours , and the loss of the British
Included Major Kerslmw , Lieutenant Harvey ,
four sergeants , about thirty soldiers killed
-t and six officers , several non-commissioned
officers and about fifty men wounded.
According to oiriclal figures , the Matabelcs
and their allies were commanded by the big
chiefs Sokombco and UmlusulUk , and were
divided Into five Impls or regiments , each
of over 1,000 men , weil supplied wtlh anna
and ammunition.
At C o'clock on Wednesday morning a
force of about 700 men , whites and natives ,
cavalry , Infantry nnd artillery , all under
British officers , marched to the Umlugulu
valley. The white Infantry , commanded by
Captain Dcrcsford , with two screw guns and
a .Maxim rapld-flro gun , was detached to
make a detour behind some hills , and then
toke up a position from which the valley
could bo shelled. H had previously been re
ported by the scouts that the enemy , In
strong force , was encamped In. the valley
preparing for a forward movement upon the
British poalflon.
The main body of ihe British troops was
halted , while Captain Beresford'a detachment
was making Its way to the position des
ignated for the artillery to occupy.Vhllo
this movement was being executed , the
guns being moved over a small , Isolated
kopje , the Matabelcs mode a sudden and
determined dash at Captain Hereford's com
mand. There was no strategy or conceal
ment. The natives rushed headlong at the
British , and. In splto of the heavy fire
which was poured Into their ranks , succeeded
In getting within forty yards of the British
Buns , anil reached a spot fifteen feet from the
Maxim guns. A momentous delay would
have proved fatal to the Beresford detach
ment , as the white Infantry was apparently
unable to check the reckless , wild charge
of the tribesmen , who seemed to court death
In their fierce attack * upon the column.
HAIL OP HOT LEAD.
But when the screw guns began crashing
case-shot Into the enemy , tearing wide ,
bloody gaps In the ranks , and the deadly
Maxim rattled its hall of lead Into tha heav
ing , serried masses of the rapidly moving
Impls , the natives wavered In their charge
and a moment later the rush was stopped
and they began to give way , leaving heaps
of dead and wounded on the field. But ,
rallied by the chiefs , who bravely rushed
to the front , encouraging their followers by
a display of magnificent dash , the native
warriors returned to the charge In the face
of the fierce flre of the British guns , and
Captain Beresford's forre was. for a few
moments , completely surrounded by surging
waves of warriors who seemed to know no
fear. The position of the Beresford forces
was then most critical , and their commander
hurriedly ordered his signal men to ask
Colonel Plummer to lose no tlmo In advanc
ing with the main body to their rescue.
While the signaling was In progress a hot
and determined fight raged around the guris
and Kevernl British officers and men fell.
In the distance could be seen two more
Impls rushing forward to Join In the attack
upon Beresford's position. Colonel Plum-
mcr ordered the main body of the British
troops to advance. The mounted men were
pent forward at a gallop to storm the hills
on the left of Bercsford's position , from
which the natives were delivering a hasty
dropping flro upon the kopje occupied by
the British guns. The cavalry was gallantly
led by Major Kershaw , who charged up to
within fifteen yeards of the enemy's position
when ho was shot through the heart by a
native , and almost Immediately aftcrwan
fell , literally riddled with bullets. The nd
vance of the main body of Hummer's forces
was ciulckly noticed by the natives , who
were pressing ground the Beresford detach
mcut , and It caused them to take steps to
retreat In order to escape being caugh
between three fires.
The guns were thus able to do better exc
cutlon , and a well-directed fire of case-shot
followed by a well-placed fire of shrapnel
soon changed the native attack Into a re
treat , and when the full reinforcements came
Into action the enemy broke and fled. The
guns and war rockets played upon the na
lives as long as they were In range , bu
the main loss of the enemy was Indictee
while they were so bravely charging almos
up to the muzzles of the British pieces. The
bravery of the. natives earned the ntlmlra
tton of the British , but their shooting was
of the worst possible description.
CAPTAIN SAVES THE GUN.
During the first rush upon the Beresfon
kopjo. Captain Llewellyn personally savci
the Maxim gun by smart saber and revolve
work. At one tlmo he was completely alone
the natives having driven back the gunner
and being1 almost In possession of the piece
The captain's determined stand , however
enabled the British rush to regain the gui
and he was helped out of his difficulties.
The defeat of the natives will undoubtedly
have considerable effect , as the Impls de
featcd arc among the best trained of the
rebel forces. It Is believed , however , thft
a further advance uf the British forces mus
bo made , anil another defeat Inflicted upoi
the natives before terms of peace will be
considered by either side.
A number of friendly natives , serving
with the British , deserted to the enemy dur
Ing the night. The engagement lasted abou
six hours.
General Harrington Is understood to bi.
preparing to drive the enemy eastward to
word the upper part of the country , when
another tight may occur , before the effec
of tbo uprising Is finally broken.

LINCOLN , Aug. 7. ( Special. ) Hon. W. J.
jryan , democratlo-popullst nominee for prcs-
: dcnt of the United States , departed over the
Hock Island at 2:10 : this afternoon on his
[ ourncy to New York City to receive official
notification of his nomination. Ho was ac
companied by his wife and the corps of
newspaper men who have been In Lincoln
since Bryan's Journey homeward. The de
parture was witnessed by fully 600 people ,
who gathered at the depot to wish Mr. Bryan
Godspeed upon his journey. More than half
of the crowd were ladles. Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan arrived at the depot In a carriage at
1:50 : and at their appearance there was quite
a demonstration. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went
Into the ladles' waiting room and na many
as could crowd In followed them to shake
hands. When the train arrived a few min
utes later Mrs. Bryan entered the coach ,
while Mr. Bryan was pushing his way along
the crowded platform towards the car. He
stood on the steps of the rear platform nnd
shook each by the hand as they crowded
forward. There were cries for a speech nid
Mr. Bryan responded substantially as fol
lows :
If this wns nn ordinary campaign I would
hnvu received the notlllcutlon of my nom
ination licrv ut homo ; but this IK not an
ordinary campaign. When I decided to go
to New York to receive the notification I
did so because I believed It was the best
for the cause. It was decided to have the
notification In what Is now considered the
heart of the enemy'H country , but which \vc
hope will soon be our country. I want to
thank my neighbors for their kind treat
ment , and In conclusion let me Buy that
whatever the consequences may be , I In
tend to do my duty as I see It.
Thrco cheers were then given for Bryan ,
and as the train pulled out he stood upon
the platform bowing and smiling to the
plaudits of his admiring constituents.
The party will stop over night at Des
Molnos , where a reception has been planned.
They will leave for Chicago tomorrow mornIng -
Ing and arrive In the Windy city about 6:30 :
tomorrow evening , when a reception will
be given. Sunday evening they leave on
the Plttsburg , Ft. Wayne & Chicago road
for Plttsburg , Pa. , arriving In the Smoky
city Monday evening , where they will re
main until Tuesday morning , when the Jour
ney to New York will be made. They will
reach New York Tuesday evening and on
Wednesday night at Madison Square garden
Mr. Bryan will receive official notification
of his nomination.
_ _ _ _ _
Hon. W. J. Bryan , the democratic-popu
list presidential nominee , passed 'through
Omaha yesterday afternoon on the regular
Rock Island train. The train arrived In
Omaha at 4 p. in. , and remained at the
depot for fifty minutes. The fact that .Mr.
Bryan would pass through Omaha yester
day on his way to New York to be publicly
notified that he had been nominated by the
democratic national convention , had been
heralded to the world for several days
through the medium of Mr. Bryan's paper ,
but the reception accorded the nominee
was positively painful. There was no brass
band and no crowd. When the train pulled
Into the depot at Tenth and Mason streets
It was met by a large" delegation of Omaha
democrats and populists comprised of Dan
Honln. "Dick" Palmer , John O. Yelscr and
no others. Mr. Bryan alighted from the
train and shook hands very cordially with
the delegation and Bought shelter from ( he
burning sun alongside the dilapidated shed
which answers for a depot. Mrs , Bryan
was on the train , and she , too , sought re
lief from the close cars by taking a chair
In the shade of one of the sheds.
Mr. Bryan soon returned to his seat In
tha car and did not again return to the
depot platform. He purchased a copy of the
paper bearing his name upon the editorial
page and held It In a conspicuous position
In the car window while he read It. By
this time several local democrats had as
sembled at the depot nnd entered the carte
to exchange greetings with Mr. Bryan.
They remained with him until the train
pulled out , and gave' him a parting cheer.
A party of South Omaha citizens , headed
by Mayor Ensor , rode up from South Omaha
on the train with Mr. Bryan and remained
about the depot until tha train pulled out.
FIRST 1'AHT OF THE FIRST STAGE.
It rya n Ilcerlrrd with Sonic Entliu-
HliiHiii by ( In- People of IIMVII.
DES MOINES. Aug. 7. At 7:15 : the Irafoi
was met by a crowd of from 1,600 to 2,000
people at Atlantic. A brass band was lend
ing Its potent Influence to swell the clamor.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were at supper , but
shouts from without soon brought them to
the platform. Mr. Bryan was escorted
through the dense crowd to a platform
Improvised from two baggage trucks where
he spoke briefly. Mr. Bryan's utterances
were loudly cheered and the applause con
tinued as ho was hurried back Into the train
just as It pulled out.
At Atlantic there boarded the train two
reception committees , one from Stuart mid
the other from Des Molnes. Stuart was
reached at 8:15 : and 4,000 people were In
waiting with a brass band. A platform
had been erected a few feet from the track.
It was handsomely decorated and Illum
inated. Tha crowd cheered wildly as the
train rolled In and continued the clamorous
demonstrations until Mr , Bryan waved his
hand for silence as a preliminary to the
short speech which be made from tha plat
form. Among these on the platform was
General James B. Weaver , who was a mem
ber of the Des Molncs reception commit
tee. Mr. Bryan's remarks were Interrupted
by a call of tlmo and ho was ushered back
through tlio struggling crowd to the train.
The people struggled In almost fantlc zeal
to get near enough to shake his hand.
STOPS OFF AT DES MOINES.
It wag 9:30 : p. m. when the train arrived
at Des Moines. A cheering , shouting con
course of people filled the streets for blocks
In each direction. The reception commit
tee met the party at the depot and a com
mittee of ladles was present to greet Mrs.
Bryan. An open decorated carriage , drawn
by ulx white horses , was In waiting. There
were calls tor a speech as soon as Mr. Bryan
was escorted Into the glare of the Illumina
tions around the depot , Mr. Bryan was
ushered Into tbo carriage , whllo Mrs. Bryan
and other members of the party were dis
posed In other vehicles. The party moved
up the crowded Fourth street amid a con
tinuous roar of cheers sad was escorted to
the Tabernacle , a large hall on the east
side of the river , with a seating capacity
of 5,000 or 6,000. The immense auditorium
was crowded to Its utmost capacity , Mr.
Bryan was Introduced by Governor Boles ,
who said of him that while he was the
nominee of three parties no convention had
nominated him , as he enjoyed the enviable
distinction of having nominated himself.
The applause that followed was a distinct
ovation , in response to which Mr. Bryan
said :
"Mr. Chairman , ladles and gentlemen : I
esteem It a great privilege to be permitted
even for a brief moment to stand before the
clticrns assembled In this capital city of one
of the greatest agricultural states of this
union. Iowa has no reason to blush for the
position that she occupies among her sister
states.
"It is not necessary for any one to come
from abroad to enlighten you upon the Is
sues of tbli campaign , Your own state U
rich In orators and In tlila campaign It will
bo richer than It bait been for a quarter ol
a century. You have here the itatesmcn
whom you delight to honor , and as .1 look
back over the campaign ! In which H has
been jny privilege to Uke part , there arc no
campaigns that I remember .with more pleas
ure and pride than these two campaigns
when , at the Invitation of your people , I
came to assist In the election ot Horace
Boles as governor of this state ( Long and
continued applause ) , .If , In I the national
convention which has just Closed , the lot
fell upon me rather than upon him. It was
not because of superior merit , but because
of the circumstances which surrounded that
convention , I do not ttko to myself the
credit for that which Was done. I believe
that those delegates were as honest and as
earnest a body ot mcti ap ever were assem
bled In convention and , after viewing the
situation , they decided , whether wisely or
foolishly time will tell , that under all the
circumstances the nomination should fall on
Iho one who did receive It and I nm on my
way now.Jo the City ot New York to receive
the notification.
EARNEST , IF NOT , CAPABLE.
"I do not know how veil I may bo able
to bear the standard which Is to be placed
In my hands , but I know this , that there Is
not one person In all thin land who IK more
deeply In earnest In this .canoe than he
whom you have honored. In this campaign
the distinguished genUctuan.of whom I have
spoken , your ex-governor , will go before
you as one of your leaders and by his side
will stand that other gallant malt , who for
twenty years has fought , and whether we
have agreed with him or not on all
things , there In not an honest man here
but must concede that where he has fought
ho has fought with the strength ot a giant.
And by his side will stand , In this great
conflict , men , who , untl | this year , have
been fighting the battles of the republican
party ; men who boast that from the time1
of Lincoln until now they have been ad
herents of the republican party , but who
believe that In this campaign tha repub
licanism of Lincoln finds .better expression
In the Chicago platform.than it found In the
platform adopted at St. Louis.
"But you shall not need-orators this year.
If every orator you have known were to be
silent , orators would arlso In every county
and In every town and every precinct of
this state and proclaln tbo truth. Oratory
sometimes has been laughed at , but , my
friends , oratory will be with us as long as
the human race endures. Whenever there Is
a cause that stirs men's1 hearts there will be
orators to present that ta".se. Eloquence Is
simply the speech of a person who knows
what he Is talking aboVit end believes what
he says. Our people In this campaign not
only believe what they say , ' but when thty
tell you that there can' be no more prosperity
for the people whllo Iho people fall down
and worship gold as the'only standard
money , they know what they arc talking
"
about.
"They say this Is a campaign of education.
Yes , It Is a campaign In which the education
has already gone far enough for us to form
some Idea of the results. Sometimes they
tell us that a great many of the newspapers
are against us. I am reminded of what a
friend In Lincoln Bald theother : day. IJ |
said : 'It used to be the newspapers cdu
catcd the people , but now tlie people educate
the newspapers. ' True It ; Is , that the people
are educated on the money'question.
"Sometimes our opponents tell us that the
tariff Is the Issue of the cahipalgn and that
they will make It such. Whom will they
consult to do It ? Not the politicians. They
must consult the people. The money ques
tion Is In the campaign and they cannot
take It out of It. "
.Referring to the enthusiasm shown by the
pepplo of Des Molncs. Mr.'Bryan expressed
"appreciation of the fact 'that the enthusi
asm was-lnotfpr him personally , but for the
cause which he represented , . Continuing , he
said : "Well may you ' .feot fnterestcd because -
cause , my friends , wou haVreached a great
turning point In the hlpl rjfofserents. Upon
the action of this-nation may depend the
action of tho.plvlllrcd" , world. Upon the ac
tion of this state may depend the action of
this nutlon. and on tho. action of a single
Individual here may depend the action of
this state. Grave are the responsibilities of
citizenship and never more grave than iiow.
but I can simply appeal to you to do your
duty as you see It and then stand up and
take the consequences before your fellow
men. "
Amlst cheers that followed his remarks ,
Mr. Bryan hastened from- the Tabernacle
and w s driven to the -corner of Sixth
street and Grand avenue , where arrange
ments had been made for an overflow meet-
Ing. Governor Boles' i accompanied Mr.
Bryan. When they reached the place the
crowd was. so large and so densely packed
around the platform tha ) had been elected
that they were unable to reach It and Mr.
Bryan spoke from his carriage. Ills ad
dress was brief , but It' Jeft the crowd In
very good humor , cheerb after cheere being
given the speaker. Mr. f and Mrs. Bryan
were then driven to ther | hotel and It was
midnight when they woro. permitted to enJoy -
Joy seclusion and retire. iMr. Bryan could
not conceal his pleasure his reception

WASHINGTON , Aug. 7. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Republican circles here arc much
Interested In a letter received today nt
republican headquarters from Georro W.
Post , chairman of the republican stattv Com
mittee of Nebraska , stating that despite
tha local Bryan sentiment the state was
sure to roll up a majority for McKlnlcy and
Hobart.
Representative Mercer , In talking ot the
Intelligence conveyed In Mr. Post's letter ,
said : "I have never wavered In my belief
that wo should carry Nebraska. This
monetary question Is an old story with us.
We have fought over the Issue tlmo and
again. We made the same fight four years
ago. The democratic party Is hopelessly
divided on the financial question. The
populists , angered by the attitude of the
democrats , are declining to fuse , and re
publicans arc lining up for the fray with a
solid front presented to the enemy. Mr.
Bryan Is not n strong man , and It Is but
a short time since he repudiated the party
whoso candidate he now Is and declared
himself to be a populist. All these things
tend to aid the republicans , and I con
fidently look forward to a good republican
majority In November. "

HASTINGS , Aug. 7. ( Special Telegram. )
The people of Hastings and Adams county
are getting touched up , politically speaking ,
from all sides. The large crowd that was
out to the Athletic grounds this afternoon to
hear Hon. Roswcll G. Herr was not disap
pointed , for he spoke for over two hours and
then answered all questions put to him. Mr.
Herr spoke upon the tariff and financial ques
tions. He referred to the activity of busi
ness from 1SGO to 1892 and the great change
which has followed ! pointed out crippled In
dustries and showed that wages were lower.
He said the only way to restore prosperity
was to have protection and republicanism , as
they were the only things to build up new
Industries. Laborers came to this country
because they could get better wages. After ex
plaining the tariff thoroughly he took up
the financial question and commencing from
biblical times followed It up to" the present
day. In speaking of the free and unlimited
coinage ot silver at the ratio of 1G to 1 ho
showed distinctly how the cheap money
would soon drive the gold from this country
and bring disaster upon the United States.
The "crime of ' 73" was also touched upon
and h x tried hard to Impress It upon the
people that money was a creature of business
and nottif law. When Mr. Herr had finished
some one suggested three cheers for McKln-
Icy and the grand stand fairly shook.
Hon. JoMti" L. Webster" talked to'an Ira-
mcnse"croy.-d tonight. 'On account of not hav
ing any building large enough to hold the
people and the weather being so fine ho spoke
In the open air. He took the financial ques
tion for htssubjcct , because he said It was
the most Important question of the day ,
thoiigh he believed the tariff would soon be
the IEBUC. He followed the money Issue clear
through and used very simple language , seas
as to make everything as plain aa possible.
Ho neither abused people nor party and his
points" were nlways met with great chr-ors.
YORK' . Neb. . Aug. 7. ( Special. ) Hon.
John L. Webster spoke this evening
"to a "largo crowd on the money
question. He discussed the money of
the constitution and showed the er
ror of tha sliver people on that sub
ject. The bimetallism of Jefferson was
demonstrated In its true light. After the
panic ot 1873 this nation had an unprece
dented period of prosperity under a gold
standard. When democracy came Into power
In 1S92 distress caine with It , and It will
continue until McKlnlcy Is elected. The re-
nubllcan party Is the true friend of sliver.
In confirmation of this statement Mr. Web
ster referred to the records of the various
republican congresses. Ho said that free
coinage would take away one-half of the
United States money and then showed how
such action would affect the depositors of
the savings banks and policy holders In mu
tual and benefit Insurance companies. The
speaker struck the ratio of 16 to 1 argu
ment a hard blow when ho said that If
such a ratio could bo maintained why could
not one ot 8 to 1 or 1 to 1 bo maintained
en the same theory. The speech was closed
with an earnest appeal for the farmers and
people of the cities to stand together on
this vital Issue and elect William McKlnlcy
as their next president.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 7. The Bound
money democrats organized today and will
be known as the national domocrio ; party.
Its organizers call these f "pportiIhe Chicago -
cage platform and ticket the pi .c-- ; ' . ; i-rcs.
cratle party.
The national convention of. t.- national
democratic party will bo held at Indianapolis
the first week In September.
There was unanimity In the conference on
the selection of the name of the national
democratic party and also In determining to
distinguish the two parties by referring to
those supporting the Chicago platform as
the populist democratic party. There wag
a conference before the provisional national
committee met at which It was decided to
call a convention and nominate another na
tional ticket. * Sense of the eastern and south
ern members opposed a third ticket at
first , but when they were told that in the
middle states party fealty was so regarded
that many democrats would not vote until
there was a third ticket , then all objections
from the cast and south were withdrawn
and the decision to hold a convention was
unanimous. It was argued that as the cam
paign proceeded and the republicans began
to say ha rah things ot democrats many of
the latter would vote for Bryan and Sewall ,
distasteful as the Chicago platform was to
them. As the eastern and southern gold
standard men Bald they worn for anything
to defeat the Chicago ticket and platform
they readily consented to the plan that had
been outlined oy the executive committee ,
consisting of Bragg of Wisconsin , Bynum of
Indiana , Haldcman of Kentucky , Broadhead ,
of Missouri and Hobblns of Illinois. Henry
S. Rabbins ot Chicago was the only absent
member of the executive committee , but
Mr. Ewlug took his place , while Senator
Palmer , ex-Mayor Hopkins and .others were
active in having the plan for a third ticket
carried out. Charles Traccy of Albany ,
Gcorgo FosterPcabody ot Brooklyn , John
E. .Semms ot Baltimore vsnd other eastern
rr.cn did not nhard' In the opposition to" a
third ticket. The strongest opposition ( o a
third ticket came from Rhode Island and
Texas the smallest and the largest. They
were given the fullest consideration , because
of the desire for unanimous action , which
was finally secured.
SIGN FROM GnOVER.
The telegram from President Cleveland wai
regarded by all as Indicating his sympathy
with the movement. Every mention of the
president's name was loudly cheered. Ilia
portrait was the centerpiece In the assem
bly room. Ex-Congressman Outhwalte , who
made the motion for a convention to nom
inate candidates for president and vice pres
ident , holds a. prom'tncii ! appointment under
President Cleveland. General Bragg , cx-
'Consrcssman Bynura and all the leaders are
considered strong administration men.
The largest visiting delegation , outside of
Indiana , came from Kentucky , Ohio and Illi
nois. The Kentucky delegates favor Car
lisle for president and In the event he la
not nominated they want ox-Governor Buck-
uer for vlco president. The Illluols and Ohio
delegations did not ask for anything , but
there was a general drift for Senator Palmer
for president. The delegation also asked for
the convention at Louisville , but Indianapo
lis showed a guarantee fund of $10,000 for
all expenses and the guarantee In this en so
was mode to a body of very substantial men
who duly appreciated the best bid. Tbero
was objection from oil to holding the con
vention In any city In which a national con
vention had been held thli year.
The provisional committee ot tha
national gold democrats met at
the Commercial club at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Bynum called the meeting to order. He
announced that General Bragg and Senator
Palmer were detained by washouts. The
meeting was open to visiting democrats aa
well as members' of the committee , and tbo
