ardent sympathizer of the Boers , lias just
returned to 1'nrla after the failure of a re
markable attempt at waging private war
against England.
Homo time ago Vnndenoor , when the Brit

fitted out a swift \es8cl to ram unattended

Ugly scratches near her eyes and her upper
lip wan torn. The fight was dramatic and
occurred In utter darkness. Her ecreams
-woko her husband and the sonants and a
lively chase followed. The cat was finally
killed by Yvctto herself with a pair of tonga.
When Interviewed she said she would bo able
to sing again In a few days. An autopsy on
the cat showed no signs of hydrophobia. In
cidentally she volunteered the Information
that she Is writing a book embodying her
Ideas upon marriage. It will be remembered

Paris Journals are keeping up a persistent
campaign of satlro against the prince of
Wales , asking why ho does not follow the
established monarchical custom of the heir
to the throne and lead the troops to battle.
They cite Frederick of Prussia In the Trench
war down to Constantine of Orcece. All of
"Wales' foisting exploits and other affairs

LONDON , Oct. 21. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) The Ger
man government has now almost completed
the construction of nn airship on a scale of
slzo and expense never before approached.
Major Baden-Powell , leading aeronautic ex
pert of the British army , thus describes this
momentous Invention *
"Through the kindness ot General Count
Zeppelin I was allowed to vlblt the docK-
jard wherein this wonderful ship Is being
constructed. 1 was Immensely Impressed
on entering a great wooden building erected
on a floating raft to see what appeared to
bo the slender skeleton of some hugo ves
sel , as big cs one of our mrst powerful baf-
tlcehlps , but of such delicate material as
rather to suggest a stupendous bird cage
Thin Is made entirely of aluminum and Is
the framework on which the outer skin Is to
bo stretched. Inside a number of largo bal
loons will bo placed , Underneath are the
gallery and cars , all aluminum , and here
nro the engines with which to drlvo the
vcrsel , It Is hoped , at a rate of twenty-two
miles an hour through the air. The total
lifting capacity will bo about ten tons ,
which will enable the vc&sel to carry suffi
cient stores and balla&t to remain In the air
some dajs.
"All this may sound like some dream , but
Is stern reality. It Is said altogether some
thing like 70,000 has been spent upon It ,
and a commission Including many leading
scientific experts In Germany has ap
proved the plans. In a fi > w weeks' tlmo all
should bo ready for tbo start , and though ac
cidents and delays may happen In connection
with such u novel undertaking , much Is ex
pected from thl.i event , since such an amount
of money and faklll have never before been
expended on such nn enterprise ) and all
calculations have been so accurately made ,
every contingency so carefully considered
nnd each possibility of failure so cautiously
guarded against that wo can but hope that
HUCCCCH will follow"
'A buoyant balloon such as this has a
great advantage over a purely mechani
cal flying machine , such as ttiat of
Maxim or Langlej * , at being abjo to

chino lighter than the displaced air these
uncertainties nro done avvny with and the
whole question becomes one of npced
Twenty-two miles nn hour is perhaps no
great rate as compared to that of the winds
which have to bo surmounted , but is suffi
cient to accomplish n great deal. Given a
practical airship , and improvements arc
bound to follow , and what then ? Notwith
standing what peace conferences may de
cide , wnrs lu the future will without doubt
bo decided In the air. The plateaus of the

LONDON , Oct. 21. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Hon. Philip
Stinhopo han resolved to uxhiust every
means of compelling Secretary CLnmbcilaln
to produce the letter received by him from
Bourchler Hnwkeslcy , solicitor to the Cecil
Rhodes company , charging the colonial of
fice on the ovldenco ot cablegrams received
dining the preparatlona for tbo Jameson
laid with direct knowledge of connivance
nt the raid conspiracy. When Chamberlain
for public pui poses denounced the raid and
raiders after It failed Ilnvvkcsloy , In anger ,
told Chamberlaln'a political opponents of
Incriminatory cablegrams and threatened to
produce them when on the witness stand b -
fore the Jameson raid committee , but
Hawkeslcy r as deprived of the opportunity
by a decision of the majority of the com
mittee , which would not Insist upon a pro
duction of the cablegrams and agreed to a
sudden hushing up ot the Investigation.
Chamberlain and Rhodes then became
good frlem' ; - again and now llawkesley
would not give any aid to uneai thing tbo
conspiracy. Chamberlain's offer to show the
correspondence to Banncrman or Harcourt
is n mere subterfuge , as both have declined
to Interfere. They vvoro both on the raid
committee , both voted against production of
the cablegrams and don't want to stultify
themselves.
Stanbopoeald today : "I am not done with
Chamberlain. A motion may be made In
the House ot Commons for the production
of the whole correspondence. Ho can only
refuse ut the cost ot virtually admitting
that ho Is afraid ot the disclosures. This
Is no 'mare's nest. ' If I wcro Jtr. Cham
berlain I would only too willingly take" ev
erything to the public.
"Mr. Stead charges deliberate falsehood In
his speech Thursday with reference to the

loiter In his evidence ns 'an ordinary cov
ering letter , ' sent with the suppressed ca
blegrams , in consequence ot which Mr.
Chamberlain was not naked to produce It
and Hawkfslpv.dld not have tlm ch'mcp.
"This laauo Is clearly joined. If there Is

of an ordinary covering letter , Chamberlain
can provo It by simply producing tbo letters
which passed between him nnd Rhodes' so

the subject then becomes a question Involv

ply about $15,000,000 savings on revenue to

ance ultimately. Tbo cost of the war will ,

Ono of the moat Impressive scones ever
enacted In the House of Commons was wit
nessed there last night. The Irish mcmbero
with Dillon and D.ivltt were to the fore
front , ottering the wternest resistance to
every step of the government war policy.
Their open avowals ot sympathy for the
Dociw , their reiterated charge of war de
liberately provoked aroused the fiercest re
sentment and hostility among the minister
ialists. The proceedings last night threat
ened to terminate in some violent outbreak
of pasolons. Bath sides -vvero getting rap-
Idlly beyond control , when Colonel Kenyon
Slaney , a tory member , with u record for
conspicuous bravery In tbo field , rose nnd
In n few brief , simple words , spoken with
profound emotion , prajcd for a. truce to
contention for that night out ot rcspoct to
the dead nnd dying Englishmen , Irishmen
and Scotchmen lying on the battlefield , as
well as their gallant foes. The effect was
instantaneous , the clamor was stilled and
Dillon , acknowledging the manly spirit of
Slaney's speech which recognized the valor
of England's foes , appealed to the Irish
members to fall In with the suggestion.
Then Arthur Balfour acknowledged the gen.
erouB attitude of Irishmen and read a touch
ing telegram announcing tht mortal injur
ies of General Symons , to whoso gallantry
British success is duo.
The whole money for the war was then
voted without further discussion and the
House adjourned. The swift transformation
from the angry tumult and apparently Jr-
roconcllablo bitterness to solemn calm and
mutual forbearance waa Indescribably affecting -

a section ot mounted infantry , are missing.
They went In pursuit of the Boers after the
light > eslerdny. They have not returned to
camp and It Is feared that they were drawn
Into a trap and either killed or captured by
the enemy.
Besides tbcso two bodies of troops there
are thirty-three entitled men missing from
the various commands In the fight. They
are believed to bo cither captured or killed.
The battle at Glcncoo , even as official re
ports admit , was no skirmish , but a battle
that lasted eight hours. The fighting was
fierce.
The Boors dlsplajcd remarkable courage
when once driven from their cover by the
advance of the Hrltlsh , who paused neither
for shot nor shell , but kept on and on ,
merely stopping for breathing spoils and
to reform their ranks.
The Biitlsh artillery dlsplajcd astonish
ing marksmanship. This soon silenced the
Boer guns on the top of Tallana hill and then
the order came to chaigo. The King's HIIlcs
and the Irish rusllcen , led the charge with
great glory to themselves und to their coun
try. The fire was fast and furious In their
face , but they never faltered. The men
dropped by dozens and the officers fell , too ,
but the line kept on just the same , pausing
only to Ho down and flro by volleys In ex
tended order. They never lost nn Inch.
JlocTM fehovGrcut Vnlur.
The Boers fought volorously , but they
could do nothing with the Innplrlng advance
of the Kngllsh regiments. When the ( list
ot tbo charging line reached the hilltop
the Boers fled , leaving their dead and
wounded behind.
The British troops behaved with great
gallantry and at no tlmo were bojond the
control of tholr officers. But the slaughter
In their ranks was pitiful. The percentage
of officers that fell was far In excess ot
that of the enlisted men. About 5 per cent
ot the troops engaged wcro officers , jet 21
per cent of the dead were officers. Among
the wounded they numbered 1C per cent.
In other words five times as many officers
wore wounded as enlisted men , In proper
tion to their numbers and moro than three
times as many wounded. The explanation
Is simple. The officers followed the tradi
tions of the British army and refused to
take advantage of cover , whllo they weio
ordering tholr men to do it. This valiant
and tnsplilng conduct cost them bitter IOBSCH ,
but U helped win the day. They etood be
hind their men when the ranks wcro Ijlng
down , nnd thus made themselves targets for
Boer sharpshooters , and they stood out In
the open whllo their men -wore behind
trees , rocks and bits of fallen timber.
The cream ot the Brltlnh forces In South
Africa was engaged. General Symons'
column Included the Eighteenth Hussars ,
the Natal Mounted volunteers , the Klrst
battalion of the Leicestershire regiment ,
thn First KlnK'a Royal Illfic-s , the Second
Dublin Fusileors , this Devonshire regiment ,
theDorsetshire regiment , several companies
of mounted Infantry nnd three field batteries ,
also 4,000 men In all. They wcro opposed
to n torco at least twice that number and
perhaps more.
Irlnh lloiivy Ioner * .
The Irish regiments lost the heaviest , for
they were In the thickest ot the battle and
fought with great gallantry. The ruslleers
lost eighteen killed and eevcnty wounded.
The Hufisare had seven wounded and the bat
teries ono killed and threa wounded. The
King's Rifles had eleven killed and ulxty-
elght wounded. The losses of the other
commands were comparatively trivial.
General Redvors Buller's last order before
leaving England for the seat of war this
| wcok was a telegram to Sir George Stewart
White , commanding In South Africa , for
bidding any Brltlfeh advance pending the ar
rival of the army corps now curoute.
The number und Importance of engage
ments for the next four weeks will depend
upon Boer aggressiveness. The defeat at
Glcncoo will curb the Impetuous burghers ,
the war office feels , but others expect them
to icturn to the fray with redoubled ardor
before the arrival of General Buller's corps
General Buller plans to have four divisions ,
each a llttlo army In Itself , nnd each capable
of meeting the full strength of the Boors
This plan Is regarded as perfectly feasible ,
because ho will have 80,000 men. With three
of the divisions ho will invade the Trans
vaal at different points , leaving the fourth
to hold Natal.
There la n growing feeling bore that the
war will eventually resolve Itself Into a
guerrilla campaign much like that of the
American forces now In the Philippines.

The lift of ofllccit , killed and wounded
strikingly shows that , although the British
victory was complete , It was bought at a
heavy price. In addition to Sir William
Pean Sjmons , who is mortally wounded , two
colonola , three captains and five lieutenants
went killed and a colonel , three majors , six
captains and ten lieutenants wcro woundi.il.
This heivy loss among the officers was due ,
as the latest dlhpatchcs from the front show ,
to their valiant but Insensate conduct In
sticking to the traditions of the British army
ami refusing to use the cover of which the
men availed thcmaelven during the storming
of the Boer poeitlon on the summit of the
Kopjo.
Among the rank and fllo the Hussars had
6ov en vvoundid , the artillery ono killed and

and sixty-eight wounded , the Irish ruslleera
fourteen killed and thirty wounded , the Dub
lin KiiBlleorn four killed and forty-one
wounded and the Natal police two wounded.
