So The l!i-lt Mi I'arllainent May Not Snnc tloii the (.overnment's Wnr Policy. Kliglnnd May Not Send All the Twenty llvo Tliousauil Keserveit to the Scene or Hostilities. LONDON, Oct. 10. The complete dearth of news from the Cape, on which all attention is rlvlted, Is poor ly compensated for by the mass of mi nor details published concerning the preparations for the despatch of the army corps and speculation as to the length and character of the debates when parliament meets. In otliclal cir cles there Is said to be apprehension that the Radicals will offer protracted opposition to the government's policy in South Africa, which will possibly make prorogation and Christmas near neighbors. Lord Salisbury's whip to the lords, Just Issued, says parliament will deal with matters of grave moment. The latest dispatch from Louresomar quez, relating to the chasing of the eteamer Guelph by the cruiser Phil omel, caused some stir, especially as It was announced that the Guelph had landed at Durban 400 cases of ammuni tion for the Doers. There Is a pretty general feeling that ammunition ought not to be allowed to be forwarded. The Pall Mall Gazette referring to the matter says: "There Is some hope that the ammunition will be seized at Dui ban, as Natal possesses a ministry whose loyalty 8 unquestioned. Had not the Filipinos been given arms by Americans with which to fight Spain, General Otis would long. ago have been enjoying his ease at home. Similarly with the Doers, we may have to pay heavily In blood for the apathy the Cape government has exhibited in this matter." Some Indications of the war offices estimates of the duration of the cam paign Is given by the fact that the authorities have contracted for eight months supply of bread and other mili tary requisites rendered necessary by the absence of the bulk of the army service corps, whom the war office thus evidently calculates will be at home again by the beginning of May. It appears that, although the war ofllce called up 25,000 reserves, only the pick of them, some 5,000, will be retain ed with the colors. Baron Tweedmouth presided at a meeting of .the council of London Radi cals, which, after a speech by Lord Tweedmouth, deploring the unwise pol icy of the government, whose dispatch es, he declared, were not couched In conciliatory terms, adopted a resolution In favor of arbitration and calling upon the government to take steps tending to a settlement of the difficulty with the Transvaal by negotiations for arbi tration, WAR CANNOT BE AVERTED. The II n Will Fight Desperately When the Struggle Once Begins. SOUTHAMPTON. Oct. 9. Sir John Christopher Wllloughby, who accompa nied Dr. Jameson Into the Transvaal In ISflG, and who, for participating In the raid, was sentenced to 10 months' Imprisonment, but was eubsequently released, was an unexpected passenger by the steamer Mexican, which sailed for the Cape on Saturday. No berth had been taken for him. Mr. Wessels, member of the Cape as sembly for Vryburgh, was also a pas senger by the Mexican. In the course of an Interview with Mr. Wessele that gentleman declared he raw no way to avert war between Great Britain and the Transvaal, which if not long would be terribly severe. He believed it would be Impossible to restrain the younger Dutch residents of Cape Col ony, with whom blood would prove thicker than water. The Boers, said Dr. Wessels, are hemmed In and will fight desperately, while trouble may be expected with the natives. M'KINLEY IN CHICAGO. 8 a ml ay Was Nut a Pay of Kent For the Chief Executive.

There were two sharp fights near Noveleta. Lowe's scouts first encoun tered the enemy near Cavlte Viejo and soon put them to flight, continuing their advance. Captain SafCold's battalion of the Thirteenth regiment with two compa nies of the Fourteenth, a number of Tagalos, Captain McGrath, command Ing the troops from the Fourth cavalry, and Captain Reilly's battery, came upon the enemy in a strongly en trenched position on the road between Cavlte Vlejo and Noveleta. A firht laetlng half an hour followed, resulting In the enemy being driven back. The American forces sustained considera ble loss In this engagement, the men being shot from the trenches and shacks along the road.

A flank movement was executed and the Insurgents were driven from the trenches, tho marines wading through rice fields In turning the flank of the enemy who retreated to strong .sand forts across the creek dividing the peninsula, destroying the bridge across the stream.

Mr. Well when seen said: "In pursuance of the original plan we have been at work fi.r yome months and the consolidation of the vehicle manufacturing interests Is well on the way. About 40 concerns are now en gaged In this branch, and Contracts for the plants have been secured from over 30 per cent, and most of the re mainder have given promises favorable to the project. The plants to be con solidated are located at various points In Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Michigan. Missouri, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The finances have been arrznsed and we are now awaiting a favorable time in the stock market to bring out the en terprise. "The parties now In business ex pect to take a considerable amount of the stock. The contracts for the plants are made on an absolutely cash basis, and the Indications for large profits are very fair. The company will be conservatively capitalized, as care will be taken to avoid the mistake made by many euch organizations In having a capital on which fair profits cannot be made. The Interests Involved all agree that the organization shall be capital ized upon actual tangible assets and It will undoubtedly be given the support of financial men and Investors." The new company, the name of which has not yet been made public, will be chartered In New Jersey. Attorney Weil stated that the amount of capital stock Is not yet definitely fixed on ac count of pending contracts. The new company will manufacture carriages, buggies, automobiles, spring wagons and ambulances. In fact, every kind of road vehicle 'outside of railway cars will be built. One quite Important statement made In reference to the new company 13 that It will own and operate Its own steel plant. Attorney Well declined to givs the location of the plant, and would not say whether it was in the Pittsburg district or elsewhere, but he stated that it Is now In operation. He further said that the new company was not put on foot with an intention of mak ing any special departure in the manu facture of automobiles, but it was simp ly an organization to carry on all the branches of the trade.
