BOERS IN
BATTLE

counter.

Glencoe Camp
Friday.
Driven From Dundee Hill
Eight hundred
Dead.
South Africa, Oct. 21.—After eight
Lours of continuous, heavy fighting.
Dundee hill was carried by the Dublin
Fusileers and the king’s rifles at 3
o'clock Friday afternoon under cover
of a well-served artillery fire by the
13th and 69th batteries. The boers
who threatened the British rear have
retired. The fight was an almost ex
act counterpart of that of Majuba hill,
except that the positions of the boers
and British forces was reversed. Gen
eral Symons was severely but not dan
gerously wounded. The battle was a
brilliant success. The boers got a re
verse which may possibly, for a time
at any rate, check all aggressive action.
The British artillery practice in the
early part of the day decided the bat
tle. 'lhe seizure of Dundee hill by the
boers was a surprise for, although
pickets had been exchanging shots all
night, it was not until a shell boomed
over the town into the camp that their
presence was discovered. Then the
shells came fast and the hill was pos
itively alive with swarming boers,
still the British artillery got to work
with magnificent energy and precision
and after a quarter hour’s magnificent
firing, silenced the guns on the hill.
The fighting raged particularly hot in
the valley, outside the town. Directly
the boer guns ceased firing, General
Symons ordered the infantry to move
on their position. The firing of the
boers was not so deadly as might have
been expected from troops occupying
such an exalted position but
the infantry lost heavily
going up the hill and only the consum
mately brilliant way in which General
Symons had trained them to fighting
saved them from being swept away.
The hill was almost inaccessible to a
storming party and any hesitation
have lost the day. The enemy s
guns were all abandoned for the boers
had no time to remove them. A
stream of fugitives poured down the
hilliside into the valley, where the bat
tle went on with no abatement. Gen.
Symons was wounded early in the ac
tion and the command then devolved
on Maj. Yule. . The enemy as they
fled were followed by cavalry and
mounted infantry and artillery. The
direction taken was to the eastward.
At latest reports, the cavalry had not
returned. Some say four and some say
five guns were captured. The British
losses were very severe but those of the
boers were much heavier. One battery
of artillery, the 18th Hussars, and the
mounted infantry, with part of the Lie
cester regiment, got on the enemy's
flank and as the boers streamed wildly
down the hills, making for the main
road, they found retreat had been cut
off. But they rallied for a while and
there was severe firing with consider
able loss to each side. Many of the
enemy surrendered. Rough estimates
place the British loss at 250 killed or
wounded, that of the boers at 800.
Money and Troops Voted.
London, Oct. 21. —The house of com
mons voted 10,000,000 pounds sterling
—sso. -00,000 —and the calling out of
25.000 reserves for the boer war Friday,
the Irish and a few radical members
only voting in the negative. William
Redmond, Parnelite member for East
Clare, persisted in interrupting the
proceedings, saying that the money
should be spent in Ireland and criticiz
ing the government, and was ordered
to leave the house. Mr. Balfour read
a message from Major Yule, dated
Glencoe Cartp, in which he said: “I
regret to report that Gen. Symons is
mortally wounded. Other casualties
will follow. The important success of
today is due to Gen. Symons' great
courage and fine generalship and to the
gallant example of confidence he gave
the troops under his command.”
Dynamited the Boers.
Cape Town, Oct. 21.—Dispatches dat
ed at Mafesing aSturday night and
carried by dispatch down the river via
Rumman and uanielskunl to Hook
Town state that Col. Baden-Powell in
flicted a tremendous blow on the boers
nine miles north of Mafeklng Two
trucks laden with dynamite which it
was judged unsafe to keep in Mafeking
on account of the risk of explosion
should the town be shelled, were sent
by Baden-Powell nine miles out in the
hope that the boers would shell and
explode them. And so it happened.
When the engine had uncoupled from
the trucks and retreated about a mile,
the enemy shelled the trucks with the
result that a terrible explosion oc-
curred, killing, It is estimated, 1001
boers.
Troops Leave England.
Southampton, Oct. 21. —The trans
port Yorkshire, carrying the first
troops of the special army corps for

St. Paul, Oct. 21. —In the meeting of
the National Live Stock Exchange
Friday afternoon, Expert Thompson
said in part:
“Producers who fed and marketed
the best grades of cattle are receiving
sl2 to S2O per head more than a year
ago. To meet competition in this and
foreign countries producers cannot
give breeding too careful and thought
ful consideration, for in the excellence
of production lies the success which
can be measured only by the ability to
supply the choicest meat food products
obtainable on the globe.”

pected to return today to receive their
answer.

had recently been annoying the out
posts and travelers along the road
from Santa Ana to Arayat. The in
surgents fled in the direction of Mag

LILIAN BELL’S IDEAL WEDDING
JOURNEYS.
In all my travels abroad I hate
divided individual trips Into two
classes—those which would make ideal
wedding journeys and those which
would not. But the greatest difficulty
I have encountered is how to get my
happy wedded pair over here in order
to begin. I have not the heart to ask
them to risk their happiness by cross
ing the ocean, for the Atlantic, even
by the best of ships, is ground for
divorce (if you go deep enough) in
itself. I have not yet tried the Pacinc,
but lam told that, like most peopel
who are named Theodosia and Con
stance and Winifred, the Pacific does
not live up to its name. However, if
I could transport my people, chloro
formed and by rapid transit, to Greece,
I would beg of them to journey from
Athens to Patras by rail: and if that
exquisite experience did not smooth
away all trifling difficulties and make
each wish to be the one to apologize
first, then I would mark them as
doomed from the beginning.—Lilian
Bell in Woman’s Home Companion.
A WARM ESSAY.
In a country school literary exer
cises are indulged in every Friday af
ternoon during the term. Last Fri
day afternoon a 12-year-old boy read
the following original essay on The
Newspaper: “Newspapers are sheets
of paper on which stuff to read Is
printed. The men look over the paper
to see if their names Is in it and the
women use it to put on shelves and
such. I don't know how newspapers
came into the world. I don’t think
God does. The bibie says nothing
about editors and I never heard of one
being In heaven. I guess the editor
is the missing link them fellows talk
about. The first editor I ever heard of
was the fellow who wrote up the flood.
He has been here ever since. Some
editors belong to church and some try
to raise whiskers. All of them raise
hell in their neighborhood and all of
them are liars, at least all I know,
and I know only one. Editors never
die. At least I never saw a dead one.
Sometimes the paper dies and then
people feel glad, but someone else
will start it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors never
got licked. Our paper is a mighty,
poor one. but we take it so ma can
use it on our pantry shelves. Our
editor don't amount to much, but pa
says he had a poor chance when he
was a boy. He goes without under
clothes in winter, wears no socks and
hn a wife to support him. Pa hasn’t
paid his subscription in five years and
don't Intend to.”—Ex.

Scotch Challenger Admits Irish-Najgjed,.
Yacht Beaten by Better Ye=s<jrand*
Hoists American Flag in SjjJLKb—
Six Minutes pf Difference /n
Race. /
New York, Oct. 21. —Through wind
and heavy seas, in a breeze that ap
proached the dignity of a gale, the gal
lant sloop Columbia Friday vanquished
the British challenger Shamrock by 6
minutes and 18 seconds actual time,
thus completing the series for the
America’s cup with a magnificent
rough-weather duel and a glorious
yankee victory. For the eleventh time
the attempt of a foreigner td wrest
from America the yachting supremacy
of the world has failed. To Sir Thomas
Llpton, whose name is now added to
the list of defeated aspirants for the
honor of carrying the cup back across
the Atlantic, the failure was a crush
ing blow but, like the true sportsman
that he is, the sting of defeat has left
no bitterness. With undaunted cour
age he intimated that he may be back
with a better boat to try again. Ex
cept for repeated flukes and
the unfortunate accident to the
challenger on Tuesday, this
series of races has been unmarred
by a single untoward incident. The
boats have had two fair, square races,
one in light airs and the other in a
heavy blow. Sir Thomas is perfectly
satisfied that he was beaten by the bet
ter boat.
When the boats were approaching
the starting point, the Shamrock
reached the vicinity of the committee
boat a few seconds too soon, so Ho
garth kept her broad off to use up time
and then luffed out across the commit
tee boat's bow just as the gun was
fired, crossing the line at a 12-knot dip
with the Columbia several lengths
astern on the weather quarter. Barr
luffed the Columbia diagonally across
the line. The Shamrock had certainly
the better of the start and with such a
breeze blowing it seemed as if her
chance had come to show she could
run before the wind. For fifteen min
utes there was no noticeable difference
in the positions of the boats. When
the yachts passed Long Branch pier at
about 11:50 the Shamrock was leading
by an eighth of a mile. At 12:15 the
Columbia, which had been steadily
gaining on the Shamrock, passed her
to port, taking in her working topsail
a3 she did so, to be ready for the wind
ward work. Official time at the outer
mark: Columbia, 12:19:00; Shamrock,
12:19:17. The Columbia’s elapsed time
from the start was one hour,
seventeen minutes and twenty
five seconds and the Sham
rock's one hour, eighteen minutes and
three seconds, showing that, in the
fifteen mile run before the wind, the
Columbia gained a minute and eigh-r
teen seconds. Leaving the mark to
tiie starboard, the Columbia luffed
widely around it while the crew hauled
aft the main sheet. The Shamrock”
was forced to make a still wider turn.
Then, luffing up sharply, she tried to
cross the Columbia's wake to capture
the weather berth but Barr blocked her
neatly. The wind was now blowing at
least twenty-five miles an hour. At
12:32 the Shamrock’s topsail was taken
in. She was then throwing spray in
clouds across her deck, making, if any
thing, worse weather of it than the
Columbia, which was nearly a half
mile to the windward, same distance
ahead, and increasing her lead evdty
minute. Several short tacks were
made during the next twenty minutes
and at 1:40, when the Columbia tacked
to port, the wind had fallen for
a short time. The wind soon fresh
ened, canting a couple of points west
erly. The Shamrock then split tacks
with the Columbia and gained slightly,
chiefly because of the shift of wind,
which she apparently got a few min
utes before the Columbia. From here
on it was a succession of short tacks,
the Columbia gofng about finally on
the last tack to starboard at 2:37:10
and dashing across the finish line three
minutes later. The Shamrock finished *
5 minutes and 17 seconds after the Col
umbia. She was by 6 min
utes and 18 seconds actual time, and
by 6 minutes, 34 seconds : corrected
time. ■
