Minnesota irate Says the Kansas Gene i Wan Very Strict linnt Looting-. MINNEA? LIS. MINN"., Nov. 8. Fred crick Grei V, late private in .the Thir teenth Mb esota and interpreter in the police cou' at Manila, says the looting of churches the Philippines was done by the Filipinos themselves and by the thrifty Chinamen. One wealthy Chinese merchant showed him a big chest filled to the brim with sacred utensils of silver taken from various churches. He takes no slock in the charges of the Monitor against General Funston, who, he says, had the reputation of being the strictest of all tfw regimental commanders in his orders against looting.

BRITISH HOPEFUL THIXIC THE -WORST IS OVER IX SOUTH AFRICA. GEN. WHITE HOLDING HIS OWN MAKIXG SUCCESSFUL SORTIES AXD MAY SOOX HAVE HELP. Boers Have Withdrawn From Colen- so, and .1,SOO Brltlsb Troops Are Ready to Occupy It and to Advance Toward Ladysmitlu LONDON, Nov. S. To the eyes of mil itary experts, the darkest page of the war Is now being written. But even that is illuminated with bright passages, such as General White's victorious sorties. If he can keep the British flag flying over Lady smith until he is relieved, the campaign will turn a fresh page, and, with the ad vance of Sir Redvers Buller's force, the British public is promised more cheerful reading. This feeling of relief. Inspired by recent good tidings, is nevertheless tinged by a certain anxiety lest General White should again make some fatal miscalculation in volving a repetition of the Nicholson's Nek disaster. Her majesty does not share this anxiety and apparent is sanguirie of his ability to pull through successfully. It is asserted that she has written to Lady White expressing sympathy with her hus band In tho trials and uifllcultles he is now experiencing, and assuring Lady White of her own undiminished confidence in his generalship. The purports of this letter has been cabled to General White by the Marquis of Lansdowne. The most interesting news to-night is a dispatch from Estcourt announcing the de parture of a strong force of mounted troops and artillery for a destination not given in the advices. Another message an nounces the arrival at Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg within the last few days of reinforcements from Durban, and that 3.300 troops are assembled ready for an ad vance to Colenso when the opportune mo ment arrives. The latter dispatch throws light upon the former, and the force which left Estcourt Monday has doubtless re oecupled Colenso, and possibly is now ad vancing cautiously up the railroad toward Ladysmith. General White's sortie of Fri day, almost to the banks of the Tugela river, encouraging Its commander in the hope of joining hands with him. General Joubert, the latest advices would indicate, drew in his horns after Friday's engagement, and has since withdrawn the Southern Boer contingent, leaving only outposts on the line from Xadysmith to Colenso. The Boers, who occupied Colenso about the middle of last week, retired without damaging Bulwer bridge over the Tugela river or the railroad as far north as the village of Nelthrope, seven miles south of Ladysmith. Evidently they nurse a hope of eventually utilizing both in their de scent on Pietermaritzburg. Meanwhile, the British are also able to use both, as they have already done, in running up an ar mored train which may, at the present mo ment, be covering the advance of the Est court force. At Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg, the defensive w-prks have been greatly strengthened Tvithin the last few days, and they are now believed capable of holding their own with any Boer force which Gen eral Joubert would at the present juncture risk sending against either town. Both are likely to be strengthened before the week Is out by a further naval force and even by the first detachment of General Bul ler's army corps. None of the troop ships has arrived. The one which it was predicted might reach Cape Town at the earliest on Mon day is as yet unannounced, and even when it does arrive there it will have three dajs' steaming to reach Durban. As many as six transports, with 4,500 troops, were ex pected tc be in Cape Town harbor by this time, but the war office last evening Issued a statement to the effect that the only arrivals at Cape Town were the Sumatra, from Durban, with wounded, the Southern Cross, from Gibraltar, with mules, and the collier Wenvoe. Of course, it Is possible that dispatch boats have been sent to meet the troop ships with instructions to proceed direct to Durban, and in that event the war office statement that not one had arrived at Cape Town would be literally accurate, even though several should he half way between Cape Town and Durban. The situation look3 brighter at Mafeking, where the Boers are apparently dis heartened at the unexpected resistence, a large body of their force having been de tached to the south to assist in the in vestment of Kimberley, around which the cordon is drawing tighter. Evidently the Boers intend to make a concentrated effort to capture Kimberley and that arch enemy, Cecil Rhodes. The reported departure of a Boer con tingent from Pretoria with German ar tillery gunners, moving in a southerly di rection is taken to mean co-operation in the invasion of the northern part of Cape Town, an undertaking which has thus far not progressed very rapidly. Reports of a treacherous use of the white flag by the Boers, coming from native sources, are not received with complete credulity, but. at the same time, their reiteration is making an unfavorable Im pression. One paper asks sarcastically whether President Kruger's reference In his message to America, to "staggering humanity" meant the Boer use of the white flag. ESTCOURT, NATAL, Nov. C Mr. Burn ard. proprietor of the railway hotel at Ladysmith, has arrived here with a com panion, having eluded the Boer outposts by night riding along Kaffir paths. He con firms the report that when General White requested that the women and children be permitted to depart. General Joubert re plied that he would only allow them to get away under the muzzles or fire of his guns. Mr. Burnard views the situation gravel and savs that none of the British artillery Is apparently able to cope with the Boer siege guns. AMERICAN NURSES TO GO. Eleven From, Bellevne Training School at Xevr York Volunteer for Transvaal. NEW YORK, Nov. S. Mrs. Whitelaw Reld received a cablegram to-day from Lady Randolph Churchill, asking her to secure the services of several American trained nurses. The nurses will be expect ed to sail for South Africa within a week. Lady Churchill will pay all the expenses. Immediately upon receipt of the request Mrs. Reld drove to the Bellevue training school for male nurses and conferred with Mrs. Ada Willard. the superintendent. Mrs. Willard furnished a list of eligible nurses and eleven accepted the offer to go to the Transvaal. "OUR DUTY TO THE FILIPINOS." Senator Hoar Says Tliey Should Have the Treatment Promised 1o Cubans. NEW TORK, Nov. S.-Senator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, has contributed an article on "Our Duty to the Filipinos" to the Independent, which will appear to morrow. Hu begins with a review of the circumstances leading up to the war with Spain, of which he says: "I think it might have been averted, and that Cuba could have been liberated by peaceable means if the counsel of Grant and Fish had been followed and if our public men In the senate had remem bered that they were a part of the diplo matic power of this country, and it was unbecoming in them to indulge in bitter and slinging invectives against Spain, whether such invectives were Just or un just. But I do not feel inclined to judge these utterances severely. Something, as Burke said, must be pardoned to the spirit of liberty, and those utterances, though. In my judgment, unfortunate, came from brave, humane and liberty loving souls." Continuing, the senator said that, down to January 1, 1S&3, the American people and tiie Republican party were committed to the doctrine that just governments rest upon the consent of the governed, and that every people had a right to dissolve at will the political connection that binJs it to another people. In dealing with Cuba, says the writer, "we acted upon those princi ples, but the treaty of peace disclosed a different purpose as to the Philippines, the Inhabitants of which were much nearer independence when the treaty of peace was signed than ever had been the people of Cuba. "Their leader," writes Senator Hoar, "had been brought over to the isUnds in a United States ship by the United States authorities and was in arms at the head of his forces, with our full concurrence and co-operation. If the statements attribu ted to a high official in one of the depart ments, who is sometimes called upon to sit in the cabinet with the president, were ac tually made, their leader had been offered by President McKinley the high office of colonel in the regular army of the United States, an offer which Itself Is a sufficient refutation of all the charges against him. They had framed a provisional constitu tion, a model of its kind, and established a dictatorship like those established by Bollvar in South America, to give place to a republic as soon as the military con dition should make it possible. "Looking back, can any sane man doubt the wisdom of those who desired to amend the treaty and to deal with the Philippine islands as we did with Cuba; to compel Spain to renounce her sovereignty; to keep off all foreign nations and to aid the isl anders in establishing their own govern ment according to their own desire?" The senator refers to the epithet "trait tor," and other harsh words applied to those who voted against the peace treaty and asks: "When the president saidr that forcible annexation, according to our American code of morals, would be criminal aggres sion, was he a copperhead? Was he dis loyal to the flag? Was not he a Republic an? Was there even an utterance so cal culated to give courage to Aguinaldo and his people as that?" As to our future attitude toward the Filipinos, Senator Hoar writes: "The time has come to make up your minds. If you are to declare that you do not mean to subjugate them or to enslave them, that you will act toward them on the principles and spirit of your own decla ration of independence, the war can be ended in an hour. The refusal to make this dpclaratlon in the begtnnhier brought on this war, and your refusal now to declare yourselves is what is alone responsible for its continuance. "Now we have to settle 'the question, which the president has repeatedly de clared is for congress or for the people, whether we will complete the subjection of the Filipinos; whether we will undertake to govern them as subjects or serfs: or whether we will aid them to become a. self-governing nation, either as a republic, as they seem to desire, or as a limited monarchy, like Japan, or whether they shall exist hereafter as an absolute monarchy after the fashion in which we are maintaining in power to-day the sultan of Sulu. with his slaves and his harem." Senator Hoar then writes that this great question has been discussed with a levity, with an intolerance and with an appeal to low motives and to cheap passions rarely paralleled In political history- A notable exception, he says, is Governor Roosevelt. In conclusion the senator says: "The American people, the brave and just people, who made the immortal decla ration and who maintained with life and fortune this sacred honor, who established our wonderful constitution, to whose Mon roe doctrine is due the freedom of the American continent from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn, have not changed their char acter or their principles in the twinkling of an eye under the temptation of any baso motive or personal advantage, or under the excitement of war. They are subject, doubtless, as all masses of men are subject, however Intelligent or how ever upright, to great waves of passion. But their sober second thought Is to be trusted. Their deliberate action will be wise and just. The great passions by which they are stirred and by which their judgment Is now clouded are generous, noble and humane. Reason will resume its rightful sway and the great republic will remain a republic still." AGUINALDO WANTS COIN. That Is the OpM1'0 of American SoTdicrs From a Recent Letter. MAP.TVILLE, MO., Nov. S.-(Spec!al.) A letter has been received here from Tracy Small, a Nodaway county boy who is a member of Company H, Twelfth United States infantry, one of the new regiments which recently arrived In the Philippines.

Goebel Says He Has Been Elected and Will Be Seated, -In Spite ot Bradley Bayonets" Con test Likely to Be Made. LOUISVILLE, KY.. Nov. S.-Xo matter what result the face of the returns of yesterday's election show, a contest la very likely to occur. Additional returns received to-day and to-night continue to show Republican gains, and. basing aa estimate upon the normal complexion of the precincts still unreported, indicate a plurality of oft.O or S,QtX) for W. S. Taylor for governor. The belated retuma are mostly from mountain counties, which are strongly Re publican. The Eleventh district, which In 1SS6 gavo McKinley a plurality of 13,009, Is only; about halt reported. Eleven out ot nine teen counties In this district give Taylor pluralities aggregating 12.0S1. Indicating that the Republicans have carried the dis trict by about the same figures as in 1SS&. The Goebel people cling to their claim o a plurality of S.0OO In the state, these fig ures being the estimate made by the nomi nee himself to-night. At Republican headquarters In this city. Taylor's plurality is placed at S.C00. In, neither case Is it possible to get the fig ures upon which the claim Is based, each, side evidently fearing that giving publicity to the reports of Its agents throughout the state might work to the advantage ot its opponent in the event of a contest. Almost complete returns from Louisville and Jefferson county do not change last night's estimate of a Republican plurality of a little over 3,000. Governor Bradley Is still la the city and announces that he will rcmahr cere for several days. In view ot the probability ot a contest over the vote for governor, this statement, made by Chairman Long, of the-Republlcan state campaign committee at 11 o'clock to night. Is significant: Said Mr. Long: "The legislature is close, but I think wa have lost both houses. From semi-official returns from all counties except twelve, and careful estimates from these, we have carried the state by'8,00O plurality for Tay lor." In the event of a contest It will come be fore the legislature. This Is the case only with the offices of governor and lieutenant governor. The law covering this point pro vides that a board for determining a con test for governor shall be chosen In the legislature by lot. the senate selecting three and the house eight members. The decision of this boaord Is not final nor con clusive; it must report to the general as sembly, where further action may be taken. To-night's developments bring the legis lature Into prominence because of the probability that it ultimately will have to determine who 13 to be next governor of Kentucky. In all expressions upon the re sult ot the election coming from Demo cratic headquarters, the legislature has been claimed as safe for that party. No statement of Its makeup has been given but It is probable a number of members claimed by the Democrats are not Goebel men. If the strength of the two great parties 13 nearly equal these antl-Goebel Democrats probably would hold the bal ance of power, thus furnishing all the ele ments for a repetition of the exciting and bitter contest of 1S37, which resulted In the defeat of Jo Blackburn for the United States senate. While the returns on the head of the ticket are incomplete, but little attention has been paid to the figures on members ot the legislature and until the contest between leaders Is cleared up somewhat. It will be hard to get an ac curate estimate of the relative strength of tho parties in the assembly. FRANKFORT. KY.. Nov. S. Senator Goebel arrived here at S o'clock to-night and was met at the train by a crowd ot 1,300 of enthusiastic admirers. From the balcony of the Capital hotel, where his headquarters Is located. Mr. Goebel made a speech. In which he said: "I believe I have been elected. In fact, I know I have. I see my friend. General Taylor, says ho will assume the office of governor. All I have to say is that if I have been elected, as I believe. I will ba Inaugurated In spite of the Louisville & Nashville rallrcad and Bradley bayonets." Ex-Senator Jo Blackburn also spoke claiming Goebel's election by a slender ma jority and calling on the people to see to It that he Is seated. Chairman Blackburn, of tho Democratic state campaign committee, give3 out the following statement: "Goebel Is elected by 3,000 or 4.000 ma jority on tho face of returns. If contest is made, his majority will be Increased. Legislature safely Democratic. both branches. Democratic majority on Joint balle? of not less than twenty." LOUISVILLE. KY..
