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.

LOVE'S SHATTERED DREAM.
file llrlde-to-lle Failed to Make Her Ap
pearance For the Ceremony.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 7. A case where
love's young dream was rudely nhat
tered developed In this city. Jacob
Gill, now 29 years old, came to America
from England five years ago. He found
employment on a farm near Chagrin
Falls. He was careful and succeeded
V accumulating a 11. tie money. As
Is natural, he began to look for a wife.
His choice finally fell on Miss Julia
Bechold. Miss Bechold's home Is in
Pittsburg, but every summer she
spends two or three months In the vi
cinity of Chagrin Falls. This summer
Ihe came, as usual, and Gill finally
mustered up the courage to ask Julia
to become his wife.
Both are Catholics, and it was ar
ranged that the wedding should take
place at Cleveland. GUI was busy, eo
his fiancee said she would come to
Cleveland and arrange for the cere
mony, stopping over night at the home
of a mutual friend. He was to Join her
the next day. Gill was on hand bright
and early, only to be met by the un
welcome news that Miss Bechold had
never appeared. Inquiries at the ca
thedral showed that she had not ap
peared there to make arrangements for
the wedding. The half-crazed lover
telegraphed to Chagrin Falls and the
lady's home In Pittsburg, but all In
vain. She had not appeared at either
place. Then he broke down and wept.
After waiting all day the tearful GUI
went back to Chagrin Falls, still a
bachelor.

crop will be one of the largest In our
history," said Secretary of 'Agriculture
James Wilson, who is In Chicago with
the presidential party. "The total
yield. It is estimated, will be between

vates wounded, one of the officers being
mortally hurt. The Ices of the enemy
Is unknown, but the bodies of three Fil

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.
The column then prtsscd on to Novel

The mar.nes and naval forces co
operated with the troops. The gunboats
Wheeling, Petrel and Calao lay oft
shore near Noveleta and threw shells
Into that town and Santa Cruz for an
hour, preparing the way for the ma
rines to land. Two battalions, con
sisting of 450 marines under Colonel
Elliott, advanced along the peninsula
from Cavlte to Noveleta. The only way
was by a narrow road through swamps.
A mile beyond the marines outpost
the column was suddenly received with
a volley from trenches across 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.
The marines waded through rice
fields, forded the river in water to their
shoulders and carried the forts, meet
ing with feeble resistance, the first
encounter having disheartened the
enemy.
Squads were sent to Noveleta and
burned the town and the huts all
along the road from which the enemy
commenced the firing. There a Junc
tion was formed with the scouts who
had been sweeping the swamps and
thickets. Thence the marines returned
to Cavlte thoroughly exhausted.
Lieutenant Wynne, with a 3-poundei,
did good execution during the advance.
General Lawton was In personal com
mand of this movement.
Captain Cowles' battalion of the
Fourth Infantry while reconnoiterlng
found a body of several hundred in
surgents near San Nicholas after a
brisk fight lasting three-quarters of an
hour the enemy was driven off. In
this engagement four Americans were
slightly wounded. Six of the enemy
were killed but the number of wounded
is not known.
' The bad condition of the roads made
the progress of the artillery very slow.

The American camp Is within sight of

hold of the insurgents In the province
of Cavlte, where the Filipinos are said
to number 5,000.
During the march from Noveleta to
Rosarlo only a few shots were fired.
This large coast town was literally
filled with white flags. The Americans
captured 200 or 300 men, many cf the
Filipinos changing their clothing for
White costumes. The Bay of Rosurin

LATEST COMBINATION.
Vehicle Manufacturer Are Now Form
ing a Olgantic Trunt.
PITTSBURG. Oct. 5. The latest In
dustrial combination reported is now
being formed In the vehicle manufac
turing line. Several m nt'ns flic ..ie
manufacturers of vehlcb s met In Phil
adelphia, and, In view of the present
Industrial conditions, they concluded
that a consolidation would be for the
best Interests of all. A commi.tee was
appointed to take the preliminary steps
toward organization, and that commit
tee employed Attorney A. Leo Well, of
this city, to bring about the consolida
tion, and also to frame the capital re
quired. 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.
EJIG CONTRACTS AWARDED.
Sharon, Fa., Is to Have a Mammoth New
Steel I'lnnt In the Near Future.
SHARON, Pa., Oct. 6. The Sharon
Steel Company received Its charter from
Harrisburg, and a meeting of the direc
tors will be held at once to elect officers.
The company has awarded a number of
Important contracts within the last few
days, and it is expected that the work
of erecting some of the buildings will

tons, will be turned out by Hiter & Con
ley of Pittsburg. This firm will also
erect four large stoves (and a 225-foot
stack, the latter for the steel mill.
The contract for the erection of all
the buildings was awarded to the Fhlf
fler Bridge company, of Pittsburg. This
Is one of the moat Important contracts
let, and will Involve a large amount of
work.
The company expects some of the de
partments of the new steel plant will
be In operation within ten months, or
at furthest a yeflr.
SOME MINERS RESUME.
laborer at the Keystone Colliery Com
pelled to Itetiirn to Work.
WILKES-BAR RE, Pa., Oct. C.-After
holding out stubbornly for three months
for an increase of wages, the miners at
Keystone colliery, Hudson, have given
up the struggle and returned to work
at the old rates. No work of any kind
was done during the strike, and the
company made no attempt to reach an
agreement with the men. To save them
selves from starving they decided to
give in and work was resumed, 500 men
being employed.
The Susquehanna Coal company strik
ers have determined not to decide the
question of returning to work until the
United Mine Workers' convention, Oct.
10, at Carbondnle, when the matter will
come before the delegates.
SCARCITY OF LABOR.
How I'ennnylvaula Coke Operator Have
Their Hand Tied.
UNIONTOWN. Pa., Oct. 6. The de
velopment of the new coke field In
Southern Fayette county is being seri

The operators throughout the coke re
gions had to make good the scarcity of
labor by attracting workmen to the re.
