Ilrlttuh Force the Fighting Aronnil Lady mllh lloer Driven Hack to Tlielr 'amp llrltlnli Cavalry Capture a lloer I.aager Hack if Hester's 11(11 Other War News. ESTCOUHT, Natal. Nov. 7.-A de layed dispatch stales that the Meiers have lost 800 in killed, wounded and captured In Thursday's battle on Tat ham's Farm, near Ladysmith. A reliable messenger has Just arrived from Ladysmith, passing the Boer lines during the nitfht, who reports that ieavy fighting occurred on Thursday around Ladysmith. The hottest ongage mcnt was on George Tut ham's farm on the Orange Free State side of Hester's. The Hrltlah drove the Boers back to their camp. The enemy suffered great loss and 30 mounted Boers were cap tured. The fighting "was resumed Friday, the Boers firing from Nosdwathshana Hill, near Pepworth's farm. Again they were driven back with loss on their camp. A largo Hoer force wi'th artillery, un der John Wessels, has taken up a po sition on the left of Beacon, locating on the Woodhouse Picciones and Lang varacht farms, facing Hester's, and a small commando Is now encamped on the south side of Piettr's station, com manding the railway. The Boers have torn up the culverts of the railway near Plcter's station and have burned the wooden portions. No damage has yet been done at Co lenso. Tho houses, stores, railway and iron bridges remain Intact. Much regret is felt at the unneces sary alarm being created at Marltz burg, when there Ih no need for It. The Natal naval corps, with guns, will re turn to Marltzburg to reaKsure the In habitants. BATTLE AT BESTER'S HILL. llrltlnli Hnrtlo From I.alyiult, Compel ling Quick Mint l.nm Itttlrenl of Hoor. LONDON, Nov. C A special dis patch from Ladysmith describing Thursday's fighting says: "The artil lery duel at dawn, In which the Boer guns were silenced, was Intended to oc cupy the Boers and to enable Sir George Stewart White to achieve his chief purpose the capture of the Boer camp behind Hester's Hill. For this purpose the Lancers,v Hussars, Natal Carbineers and Natal Border Rifles started wilder General French at sun- P?5 CFNEItAL nULt.Etl.

A field battery was also Bent, and It secured a good position, com manding the enemy's camp, which was a large one, laagered with army wag one and other vehicles. Bester's Hill was well fortified and provided with good guns. At 9 o'clock the British opened fire, the Boers reply ing with spirit, but bad aim. The Brit ish quickly sent a 42-pound shell into camp, Indicting terrible loss and spreading panic among the enemy. Our cavalry then stormed the posi tion, the Boera fleeing precipitately, leaving many dead and wounded, as well as the whole camp and equipment, in the hands of the British. This suc cess will upset the plans of the Orange Free State commanders and. possibly, will prevent them giving the British further trouble from the west. BASUTOS RESTLESS. Contlilernhle I'neailiicM Mnnlfeated l!y Native In ltanutolnnil, CAPE TOWN. Nov. 7. A dispatch from Maseru. Basutoland, dated Friday evening, says that since Magistrate Lagden's warning that their Interfer ence with the Basutos would cause an uprising, the Boers have been letting the Basutos cross the river Into Basutoland. The natives, however, continued to complain that they were being robbed of their savings by the authorities. There is no disguising from the natives that the British suffered a reverse at Lady smith. It has been explained to the Europeans as a mere-Incident of the war and they are regarding It as Insignifi cant. It was thought better that every body should know the truth, the dis patch add, "and not follow the repub lic's methods of concealing reverses both from the Europeans and the Basutos, who have Implicit faith In the Imperial government. The repulse of the Free State forces Oct. 27 is claimed by the Boers to have been a brilliant Boer victory, and they say that at Elandslaagte the British fled and that at Ladysmith the Boers re tired because they had expended their ammunition. The Boers also assert that General White was killed and that cer fain documents were found on his body. Certain residents of Colesburg are freely communicating with the Boer force across the river.

Strongly Advocated l,y First Ainlitant Fotfinaflter C.eneral Heath. , WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. A vigorous plea for rural free delivery Is made in the annual report of First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, made pub lic here. Mr. Heath says the service so far has resulted In increased postal receipts, enhancement of the value ol farm lands reached by rural free dellv ery of from $2 to $3 per acre, a general improvement of the condition of the roads traversed by the rural carrier, better prices for farm proucts, the pro ducers being brought Into dally touch with the state of the markets, beside educational benefits conferred by re llevlng the monotony of farm life through ready access to wholesome lit erature and knowledge of current events. On Nov. 1 rural free -delivery was In successful operation over 3S3 services radiating over 40 states and one terri tory, Idaho, Wyoming, Mississippi and Montana being the only states unrep resented. Between the boglnnlng of the new fis cal year, July 1, ISM. and Nov. 1, with an additional expenditure of $150,000, rural free delivery has been extended to nearly 180,000 persons, at an annual cost of about 84 cents per capita, against an average per capita cost of I2.S0 In small towns of 5,000 popula tion. Rural carriers are shortly to be authorized to receive and receipt letteri letters for registration as city carriers JEFFRIES STILL CHAMPION. Given Decision In Heavyweight Battle With Suitor Sharkey.

There was fully 10,000 people present. In five rounds Jeffries had the better of the fight, In the first two and In the last three. During the other 20 Sharkey forced the Issue, and, like a terrier bull was at his man with both hands unceas ingly. In thes? 20 rounds Jeffries' great weight and brawn helped him to hold oft the sailor, and In the 22d round he swung In a couple of vicious uppercuts that made Sharkey groggy. Tom came back again In the 24th and 25th. but he was weakened greatly by Jeffries' vicious blows. One minute before the gong sounded to end the fight Jeffries' left glove came off and practically the con test was over. HOBART'S CONDITION. No Vlnlble Cbauges Are Noticeable Haa Lot 7ft IounfU.

General Otis Will Push It With Great Vigor. General Wlieatnn, MacArtlinr anil Law. ton Are Advancing From Three Dinvr cut Directions autl Hope to Catch I lie Wiley Aguinaldo lu a Trap aatl Crin!i Him at Once. MANILA. Nov. 6. A fleet of trans ports and gunboats has left Manila for the most important expedition of t!i- autumn campaign. Its destination Is upposed to be Dagupan or some ot'rer northern port. General Wheaton commands, with a brigade consisting of the Thirteenth In fantry, the Thirty-third infantry, two guns of the Sixth artillery and two Gat- llnss. The transports Sheridan, Fran cisco de Reyes and Aztec carry the troops with the gunbuat Helena as es cort. A dispatch was sent ahead to arrange rendezvous with the United States cruiser Charleston and the other war ships that are patrolling the north coast of Luzon. The landing will be made under cover of the guns of the fleet. It Is assume! here that the purpose of the expedition Is to move down the Dagupan-Manila railroad toward Tarlac or to prevent Aguinaldo's forces making another bass farther north. Dagupan and Apparri are the strong holds of the Insurgents In the north, and It is supposed thn points where most of the filibustering parties land. Since the beginning of hostilities It has been the unanimous opinion of military experts here that Dagupan should be made a base of operations, but sufficient troops have heretofore been lacking. With Generals Wheaton, MacArthur and Lawton moving upon Tarlac from three directions and the mountains hemming in the other side, the Insur gent capital will soon become unten able. The moral effect of the arrival or a large American army Is calculated upon to sap Aguinaldo's strength by desertions and through the loss of hope among the supporters of the revolu tionary movement. Two columns of General MacArthur's division took Magalang. about six miles northeast of Angeles. Colonel Smith, with two battalions of the Seventeenth Infantry, two guns of the First artillery end a body of engineers, advanced from Angeles. Major O'Brien, with a battal ion of the Seventeenth Infantry and two troops of the Fourth cavalry, moved from Calulut Colonel Smith killed II Insurgents, wounded 128 and captured 50, as well as taking a lot of insurgent transporta tlon. Major O'Brien killed 49 Insurgents, wounded many and took 2S prisoners The Americans had 11 men wounded. HAPPY ISLANOERS. Negro Receive the Flrat Autonomous Government. MANILA,' Nov. 7.

The celebration consisted of hors, racing and other sports, music, relig lous functions and an illumination. The ball attracted the wives of the wealthy planters and there was a great display of rich costumes and costly jewels as would be seen at a similar affair In America or Europe. Elections were held Oct. 2, the num ber of votes cast being 6,248. There were 40 candidates for the various offices. Senor Melecio Severino was elected governor, receiving 1.305 votes Senor Jaime received 1,277 votes. Suf frage was determined by property qual lflcatlon, and ability to read and write. Colonel Miner welcomed the officiate on behalf of the United States. In the course of his remarks he said: "Negros leads In the van of civil government In the Philippines. Your honor lies in ad ding a new star to freedom's flag." General Smith during a speech which he delivered, said: "Your future prom lses as brightly as Japan's, who, to day, is recognized as among the civilized nations of the world." Senor Severino, In replying, said that the best thing for the future of Negros was the continuance of close relations kith the United States. - 1 aiK . u i . v.

General Smith, In an Interview, re marked that it was of the utmost Im portance that the Filipinos should be taught to recognize the sovereignty of the United States. "The gravest dan ger," he added, " threatening a peaceful administration. Is Intrigue among the insular politicians, and he declared that the United States government must for years keep control of the Filipinos in order to prevtnt such conditions from existing. The members of the Sixth Infantry, Which is divided Into 30 garrisons throughout the Island of Negros, are undergoing great harships. A recently organized revolutionary movement has been discovered In Northern Negros and the leaders have been forced to withdraw to Panay. A number of bandits, under the lead ership of Papa Issio. a religious charla tan, have been driven into the moun tains, but it is expected that they will give more trouble. A force of 250 na tive soldiers, armed with Springfield ri fles, are helping the Americans and are found to be valuable as scouts.

Smith, son of John II. Smith, who lived with parents Jn West Ferry Street, was burned to death in his room. When the fire was discovered Smith was dead. Medical aid was calltd, but it was too late Death is su; posed to have been due partly to the burns and partly to suf:ocation. Mr. Smi:h retired rather late, and it is supposed that after undressing he lighted a cigar for a last smoke. He must have fallen asleep with the cigar lllght in his hand, and it is thought the fire from the cipar communicated to the bedclothes and thence spread to other articles in the room. The sleep ing man must hae been aroused by the flames, for when found he had managed to get half way to his bed room door. Then he was overcome by the smoke and fell unconscious to the floor, not to be discovered until life was extinct. His father, John Smith, Is a well- known citizen of Buffalo and is local manager for R. G. Dun & Co., whose offices are in the Dun building at the corner of Pearl and Swan streets. William A. Smith was a clerk for R G. Dun & Co. and lived with his father. He was well known about town and had hosts of friends. TO ANNUL A CHARTER.

CARNEGIE'S GREAT WEALTH Will Sell Out For "the Immense Sum of I'.'.-,oi)o,ono. NEW YORK, Nov. 6. LI Hung Chang's celebrated query, "How much are you worth?" haa been answered by Andrew Carnegie with a posltlveness and definiteness never before exhibited by any American millionaire, for ths great Scotch-American steel monger and armor maker has put his own name In writing to a document wherein he says most distinctively that for the sum of $123,000,000 he will part wl.h h:s entire holdings In the Carnegle-Phipps-Frick plants. This autobiographical document is, In business parlance, an op;ion on all of Mr. Carnegie's vast productive in terests, and it is now In the hands of Henry C. Frick, Mr. Carnegie's part ner. Just what Mr. Frick will do wltn tn a Interesting bit of paper has not yet been fully developed. Mr. Frick trav eled from Pittsburg to Scotland to gt it, tarried there Just long enough'to rest a bit, and then traveled back. It is known that ;r. Frick has it in Hind to turn the Carnegie concerns into an enormous syr iiiate. Mr. Carnegie was of a mind to retire and devote the balance of his life to philanthropy and pleasure. So he gave the option. Mr. Carnegie does not e.-k for $125, 000,000 in cash. He says lie will take some in cash and the rest In 5 per cent bonds of the reorganized corporation. Five por cent of $125.w0.00 is J'i.JoO.OOO. The reorr,aniz.ition plan has been submitted to several New York banks, but, so far s could be learned, the work has not reached a s:ase sutlleient ly advanced for a public announcement. At the same time the option whs given there was some talk among the rival steel interests that Mr. Carnegi" had somewhat overhauled hla Interest. Mr. Carnegie owns 75 per cent of the concerns which bear his name. Mr. Frick owns 23 per cent. On this bns s the plants were valued at $167,000,000, and Frick's share was valued at about $40,000,000. Since then the values of all iron and steel products have risen enor mously in proportion, and It has be come an Interesting specu.atlon In Wall street how much premium Mr. Frick will earn or. his Carnegie option. This option of $l2r..00,000, Judged by the Increased price of the product ana by the busy state of the Industry, is now worth $150,000,000, so that if Mr. Frick carries through his reorganisa tion on the original lines, he will clear $25,000,000 on the Carnegie option alone. to say nothing of the Increase in tn value of hip own Individual interest. Since the Carnegie option was liven the cor -any has begun a ii.uuu.ww en largement of Its plants in the 1 ltts burg district, Including two new blast furnaces to cost $3 omviwo, i open hearth furnaces to cast $1,500,000 and scattering Improvements to cost $3, 000,000.
