General White recently caught the

detachments of the beleaguring force
to venture into .the open country, when
sortie parties from the British camp
captured them. It is difficult, howev
er, to believe that news Of such" im

affair described will probably turn out
to be the sortie reported from the'Boer
headquarters on Xov. 22. Late arriv

Colonial office: s'jTugela Drift was at
tacked during She morning of Thurs
day, Nov. 23, by 250 to 300 Boers, who
are believed to have advanced from
Helpmakaar and prhpoti. The mount

Nov. 19.—(By Associated Press.)—A
dispatch from Mafeking, dated Wednes*
day, the 15th, says .that the garrison is
'cheerful but that position is daily
growing more difficult. The Boers are
always drawing their entrenchments
closer aud are incessantly plying the
British- with artillery and musketry
fire. The garrison is living almost en
tirely in the underground shelters, and
the health of the troops is suffering.
At ffltool River Camp.
Mooi Biver, Natal, Nov. 24.—(By As
sociated Press.)—The Boers have only
sent an occasional shell into the Brit
ish camp since this morning, and the
range of the British guns is not suffi
cient for them to he effective. An of
ficial native runner corroborates the re
port that heavy firing occurred north
ward. The runner, who was from Est
court, says he Was captured by the
Boers, who infested the heights to the
northward. He adds that they search
ed him but failed to find his dispatches.
The Boers are in Strong force under
the cover of a hill, on which are two
guns. When the English opened fire,
the runner escaped in the confusion.
The same runner was at Ladysmith
last week. He reiterates that heavy
firing occurred there. The Boers, hV
claims, made several attempts to cap
ture the British camp, but were repuls
ed with heavy loss.
Details of menfhuen's Flithf.^
Cape Town, Nov, 24.—(By Associated

here of Genernl Methuen's fight with
the Boers yesterday, it appears that the
Boers from Flncham's Farm shelled
an advance body of the British Wed
nesday, Nov. 22, and the British artil
lery pushed forward and shelled the
hill, which the British subsequently
occupied, capturing two guns. The
Boer casualties were thirty men killed
and wounded. The Boer main column
left Flncham's Farm during the af
ternoon and camped five miles ahead.
At daybreak on Thursday the Boers
fired from the hills, 1,000 yards distant,
on the British advance force. Other
troops then pushed up and the engage
ment became general. The British ar
tillery silenced the Boer guns. Then
two battalions of the Grenadier Guards
and the Northumberland regiment
stormed the heights at the point of the
bayonet. The entire position was car
ried by 8 o'clock. The cavalry, con
sisting of the Ninth Lancers and the
mounted infantry are pursuing the fly
ing-Boers. The Boers are estimated at
3,500 men. Their loss, is unknown.

Manila. Nov. 25.—(By Associated
Press.)—Buencamino, the brains of the
Filipino insurrection, is locked up here
in charge of Brigadier General Edward
B. Williston, the'' provost marshal.,
When -Tarlac fell, Buencamino fled
northward with Aguinaldo's 3-year-old
son and an old lady, supposed to be
the mother of Aguinaldo's confiden
tial servant and a guard of a hundred
soldiers. Reaching the neighborhood
of the coast, Nov. 13, Buencamino
found American soldiers on every side
and escape impossible. So he sought
refuge in a little Pangasinan village,
six miles from Manaoag, living in a
hut belonging to natives* who were
lukewarm to the insurrection. After
learning his identity some refugees
brought the hews on Nov. 20 to Colon
el Luther R. Hare, commanding the
Thirty-third infantry, garrisoning Ma
naoag. After communicating ivith
Wheatbn, Major Marcus D. Cropin's
battalion surrounded the village Nov.
21 and Buencamino surrendered with
out resistance. Wheaton sent Buen
camino to Manila, where he arrived
this morning. When taken before
Otis the prisoner said he desired peace
arid had for a long time used his in
fluence towards peace. Aguinaldo, he
added, is retreating northward with
2,000 men and two cannon. Buencam
ino is the chief ^uthor of the Filipino
.constitution and most of the state doc
uments.

Catarrh.-
Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the moat difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to core it.
The disease is in the blood, and all thd
sprays, washes and inhaling mixturei
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe
cific cures Gatarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach tha
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburir.
Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes:
"I oomd eoe no improvement whatever,
though I was constantly treated with sprava
and washes, and differ
en inhaling remedies-*
in z&ot, I could feel thai
each winter I was worse
than the year previous.
^"Finally it wag
brought to my notice
that Catarrh was ablood
disease, and after think*
lng over the matter,
saw It was unreasonable
to expect to be oured by
remedies which only
reached the surface. I
then decided to try
.. after a lew bottles were used,
1 no
Hoed a perceptible improvement. Continuing
the remedy, the disease was forced out of my
system, and a complete cure was the result.
I advise all who have this dreadful disease to
abandon theiklocal treatment,which haanever
done them any good, and take 8.8. 8., a rem*
edy-that can reach the disease and cure it.*'
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continueito Buffer. Swift's
Specific is a real blood remedy, and
cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases,
which other remedies have no effect
whatever upon. It promptly reaches
Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the
most aggravated cases.

is Purely Vegetable, and is the only
blood remedy guaranteed to contain no
dangerous minerals

Tampered With Record..
Des Moines, Nov. 24 .—It was discov
ered* at the clerk of thpjcourts office
yesterday that the public records had
been tampered with. It seems in the
case of Viola Meyers vs. Charles Mey
ers, a record, of which js made on
page 8588 of'Equity No. 20, an erasure*
has been made of a. portion of the fees
in this case. The only purpose of this
erasure would be to escape payment
of the fees.
H. G. Carpenter appeared at the
clerk's office yesterday morning and
stated that all fees in the case had no&
treen paid. The original papers and
the amount received from the attor
neys for Mrs. Meyers, differed to the
extent of $1. An investigation reveal
ed the fact that some one erased the
first charge—that for copying fee. An
erasure had also been made at the top
of the page. All the clerks in the office
were called and after a thorough in
vestigation it was found t)e tamper
ing with the record has been made toy
some one outside the office. A nota
tion to this effect was entered upon
the docket yesterday morning by Dep
uty Alexander.
I took a trial package and also a dol
lar package of your Mull's Pioneer
Cure tablets for Rheumatism. The re
sult is, I am entirely cured of Bheu
matism, and it is the first time I have
been free from pain for five years. I
was treated by physicians and took all
kinds of medicines, and spent a lot of
money, without getting relief. Mull's
Pioneer Cure is even better than you
claim. I never fail to recommend it to
those who suffer. It is a wonderful
remedy. Jonathan Wagner, Beverly,
