In the Held In Natal :
LADY8MITH , British Colony of Natal ,
Southeast Africa , Oct. 13. ( Friday Night. )
The last railway train from Newcastle has
V ccrao In , bringing all the go > ornmcnt offi
cials and telegraph Instruments. The town
had not bectx icaptured up to noon tcday , al
though the surrounding country was en
tirely In the hands of the Doers.
Wo are supposed to ibe living hero In n.
etato of war , but Ladysmlth lias all the
aspects of a peaceful garrison town In Eng
land. The Boers show no disposition to
attack us. They certainly have missed their
opportunity , for now I consider the strength
of the British forces In the colony BUU-
clcnt to resist any possible attack. It Is
the general -wish of officers and men. of the
Imperial troops that the Boers would como
on for a rough tussle. The struggle will bo
hard , but the British expect to win.
Boer patrols -were signaled today lii the
hills about two miles from Newcastle.
Sir Harry Escombe > , after premier of this
colony , catno hero yesterday from New
castle. Ho says- the Boers evidently are In
earnest , as was shown by the manner In
which 500 men , without draught animals ,
pulled heavy guns to the stations out on
Ohgwana mountain , near Mnjuba. Hill.
A poor country Is this Natal. Snow has
fallen on the Drakensborg range of moun
tains from Van Keeticn's pass south to
Tlntwa pass , a distance of perhaps twenty
miles. This range of mountains forms the
boundary between 'Natal' . and * the Oranga
Frco State.
The Natal Dutch are -very quiet now.
Their mysterious galloping across the coun
try baa ceased. They are armed , but still
spying the towns.

LONDON1 , Oct ISiNso far as actual news
Is concerned very little change In the situa
tion Is noticed. The etato of affairs at
tilMi
Mafcklng can only bo conjectured. The oc
cupation of Newcastle by the lloers was
prepared for and expected , the place having
be abandoned by the British. The Doers
ar reported to be menacing Klmberley.
arwl Very heavy rains and snowa are reported ,
which hamper the Boer movements and th"ey
nre finding that they began too late to easily
obtain the Initial successes counted upon.

They evidently find the advance on Lady-
smith dlincult , cither from the north or
anW
weet ( , as General Sir George Stewart Whlto'3
rcconnolsEnnco seems to have sufllced to
deter them for the present.
The penks of the Drakcnsborg range are
enow-covered and the storms which have oc
curred must have caused the Boers great dis
comfort , which probably explains their failure
COUl
ure to attack General White. Master Inac
tivity characterizes the operations of both
sides.

the Schrclner ministry to Cape Colony has

PARIS , Oct. 15. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) A curious anec
dote Is going the rounds of the clubs and
salons. It seems when Jean do Hoszko was
Jast In Paris ho was Invited to dinner by
Baron Ilotchschlld. During the reception
which followed , the- tenor was requested to
sing , which ho willingly did soveial times.
At the conclusion of the last piece the baron
stalked from among the group and hand-
, ng UcszV.o a blank check , said loudly before
the assembled guests :
" \Vo are nil delighted , monsieur , I don't
know what jour prices are , but > ou may
write jour own figure upon this check. "
Jean do ncszke , blanching with anger ,
; ere the paper Into fragments and answered :
"I came hero as your guest , sir , and sang
because some ladles requested It nnd It
pleased me ; jou shall hear of this further. "
Then he bowed around and departed.
It Is said the tenor sent a second to tno
baron , who explained that ho knew It was
customary for Ilcszko to sing at private
functions for money. He believed Jean's
attitude a pose and is convinced that the
singer would have accepted the check if not
offered publicly. It was purposely eo of
fered , because during the evening the singer
appeared to forget his place. For these
reasons Baron Rothschild declined to con
sldcr the challenge.
Another affair which Is exciting ntton
tlon la the deferred duel between Prince
"Monaco nnd Count Bonrdo CjWStellailu. " The
prince Is Just now In Parls"whero ho made
himself conspicuous a few nights ago by
rather uproarious fun at Le Balals do Glace ,
the fashionable skating rink. In company
with fashionable rounders and professlonn'
skating girls o the establishment. Cnstel
lano's friends telegraphed him that Monaci
Is here and Bonl Is said to be coming n
fast as trains can bring him. It will b
remembered that when the prince offerei
Dreyfus hospitality , Castellano wrote nn im
pudcnt loiter In the evident hope of gettlni
notoriety out of a duel with such an ad
versary. Bonl's little note remained com
plctely Ignored , however , and has had n1
end but Jibes. Since Monaco has been awa ;
on'a northern cruise , the count could d
nothing but swear he would force him t
fight some day oven It publicly. Now th
day has como when the two aristocrats wll
settle their account and Paris is awnltln
the Impending clash with Interest.
Besides the prospective duels , Paris I
discussing two which really took place. Th
first waa fought between two lieutenants o
the Twenty-second Infantry , Gendron nn
Oliver , The latter , openly a Drcyfusard , waa
being ostracised and persecuted by fellow
officers , when two dajs ago Gendron went
too far , saying something which Oliver Im
mediately resented by slapping the other
with a glove. They fought with pistols.
Gendron , coldly furious , did his beat to kill
his adversary. Oliver , as his friend Pic-
quart had done on a similar occasion , stood
calmly before the fire , refusing to return It.
When the seconds declared honor satisfied ,
Oliver twice offered his hand , which Oendron
refused to tako. Officers of the Twenty-
second regiment now express open admira
tion of Oliver's generosity and blame Gend-
ron'e vindictive attitude.

The Columbia and Shamrock did not leave

Not a sail cover was taken off , notwithstand

good part of the day and would have afforded
an excellent opportunity to dry out what

SOLD THE FILIPINOS ARMS
CoiiiiNcI for Owner of Steamer AMicy ,
Select ! nn n I'lllhunter , DefcnilM
Action of Co n mil Jlcdloe.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 15. Edwin B. Hay ,
counsel for W. P. Sylvester , owner of the
steamer Abbey , -which was seized as a fill-
buster carrying arms and ammunition
to the Filipino Insurgents , today made the
following statement In defens ? of Dr. Ed
ward Btdloe , United tSates consul at Canton ,
ulna , against whom charges wcro made In
connection with the grant of an American
registry to the Abbey :
'Sylvester sold only one parcel of arms
nnd ammunition to the Filipinos , nnd that
parcel was sold at a tlmo when the sale was
equivalent to assisting the United States
forces , the whole transaction being made
with the knowledge and consent of the
United States officials.
"On or about Juno C , 1S9S , Sylvester en
tered Into a contract with the Filipinos to
sell and deliver 6,000 Mauser rifles , 600,000
rounds of ammunition and two Maxim ma-
chlno guns , the prlco to include cost of a
steamer delivery , etc. The British steamer
Paslg was purchased , the merchandise sc
cured and details arranged for the expedi
tion , but as the goods wcro being placed
aboard the steamer the British government
revoked the export permit.
"Sylvester believed It was his duty either
to deliver the goods or to sell to the best
advantage -and , .iaaki > r.ptt [ mentjvltJi t
Filipinos. He tried 'in various ways to get
the expedition off during Juno and July ,
when , believing it would bo Impossible to
accomplish this ho sold to the Chlneso of
ficials at Canton the arms and ammunition.
The terms of this sale were ono-thlrd cash
one-third In thirty days and one-third In
sixty days. Upon making the delivery the
Chinese objected to 492 Mauser rifles and
600,000 rounds of ammunition , nnd as thcro
was no ammunition for tha Maxim guna
they declined to accept these. This let
Sylvester with the goods on his hands and
also the ship , which , under the above con
ditions , the Filipinos were the larges
owners , ho tried to deliver the goods , thus
closing the transaction.
Purely n Itontinc Mnttcr.
"Tho Paslg was changed from a British
register to an American register under th
name of the Abbey In the United States
consulate at Canton , them under cbargo o
Dr. Bedloo. It was a purely routine mat
tcr and any officer must do as ho did.
"Tho Abbey sailed for Manila , arriving
there September G. All stopped at Manila
for a month , living at tbo principal hotel
associating with army and navy officers
The Manila newspapers had full account ;
of the landing of the Abbey's cargo at Bat
angas , eo that the fact of the arms nm
ammunition being furnished to the rill
plnoa was In possession of the army an
naval authorities , and yet not a word wa :
raid.
"Sylvester , after arranging for the flna
settlement and transfer of the steamer ,
left Manila near the end of September -will
all the ship's papers. Ho had stipulate ,
with Agulnaldo that the ship was not t
bo used until ho hnd tlmo to take the pa
pers to Canton and cancel thorn , therob ;
relieving the United States govcrnmon
from any responsibility should the Filipino ;
use It in carrying arms or troops in tbol
campaign against the Spaniards in th
southern group of Islands during the arm Is
tlco and peace conference at Paris. Th <
ship was not to bo transferred to the rill
plnos until after the registered paper 1m
"Upon arrival at Hong Kong , Sylvester
learned that the Abbey nad been seized ,
A telegram had been sent to Admiral Dewey
at Hong Kong stating that the steamer
Abbey had left Macao about September 23
with n second expedition. There was not
the slightest foundation for this report. It
wn actuated purely by malice on the part
of certain enemies Sylvester had made In
the competition for tbo Tlllplno business.
The McCulloch was sent to search for the
Abbey and found It nt anchor in Batangas
bay , whence It was taken to Manila on the
express ground that It had no papers aboard ,
"Thero Is absolutely nothing wrong in this
matter of the Abbey BO far as Consul Bedloe
Is concerned , Ills connection with the case
was purely Incidental. "
In proof of his statement , Mr. Hay sub
mits letters from C , T. Yu , secretary for
foreign affairs to the -viceroy of Kanklng ,
to Mr Sylvester , also a letter from Third
Assistant Secretary of State Thomas W.
Cridlcr , declaring that the- State department
had not filed any charges against Sylvester
growing out of the Abbey's operations.

LINCOLN , Oct. 15. ( Special. ) In re
sponse to n request from the New York
Times for n review of the political situation
in "Nebraska , Chairman Orlando Tefft of
: ho republican atato central committee
has telegraphed the following :
"Tho republican committee docs not In
dulge Itself In prognosticating very much
OH regards to results. Wo are engaged In
securing the results and think our tlmo Is
better employed In that regard , but on the
proposition as to the probability of the re
suits of the election in Nebraska 1hls year ,
wo are very confident that the stnto will go
republican this year for the following rea
sons :
"rirel Wo have an excellent ticket. The
candidate for supreme Judge Is a man \\licso
record on the supreme bench , where ho
served six years , commends Itself to all
lovers of justice and uprightness , His do
clslons were marked by n broad compru-
hcnslon of the law and by an unswerving
devotion to the principles of exact justice.
There was complaint among a great muny
republicans when he failed to bo rcnom-
Inated at the close of his term. A good
many republicans give that as their reason
for joining the populist party , which wan
then In IU Infancy These men are already
evincing a determination to return to the
ropulcan party because thy think the nom
ination of Judge Reese indicates that their
ideas have been to a certain extent vliull
cated. His opponent Is a discredited poll
tlclan.
"Second Tbo candidates for regents of the
university are men eminently fitted for tha
position. They are men of culture and de
voted to the best Interests of the university.
The people of the state also realize that tbi
university In tbo past , while under repub

j I ! Ifrntlon of the treaty which made the Islands

opera house was packed to overflowing last
night to listen to nn address by Judge E.
A. Tucker of Huraboldt , Neb. The judge
was heard with marked attention for two
.ours while ho pointed out that the frco
trade bill passed by Cleveland nnd heartily
supported by Bryan had caused the hard
lines and nanlc of 1893 nnd resulted In
the birth of the populist party. He'showed
up the fallacy of free silver , proving that
every promise rondo by Bryan had bcou
broken.
No party favors trusts nnd the republican
party not only resolved against them in 1888 ,
but passed n law In 1890 making It a crlm
inal offense subject to a line uud Imprisonment
mont for any person to form a trust , which
was repealed by the enactment of the Wil
son bill.
