The Boers would not be drawn.
Fighting Is reported at the Moo I

The Doers are doing more looting
than fighting and all their parties south

Advices from Ladysmlth tell of brill

slaughter of the enemy.
Ladysmlth is full of wounded, and

STORY OF BATTLE.
How Voting Churchill Fell Into the
HamU of the Hoer.
ESCOURT, Natal, Nov. 17. An ar
mored train having on board a half
company of the Durban volunteers and
a half company of the Dublin Fusiliers
steamed to Chleveley. 9n Its return
It was shelled by the artillery of the
Boers placed In four positions. Two
trucks in front of the engine left the
rails and toppled over. While the triUn
was thug helpless the Durbans and
Dubllns faced the Boers In skirmish
ing order and the Boers poured shot
and shell into the crippied train.
The derailed wagons were with great
difficulty removed and the line was
cleared. The engine and tender ateam
ed bark.
During this Juncture Lieutenant
Winston Churchill of the Fourth Hus
sars, newspaper correspondent of The
London Morning. Post and New York
Us,,
wixston enrmenru.
World and grandson of the late Leon
ard Jerome of New York, displayed
much courage as also did the driver and
fireman. It is feared the Dubllns and
Durbans fared badly.
Seven of the Durbans have Just come
In, making 23 missing. Only 15 of the
Dubllns have returned. The naval
seven-pounder which was In front of
of the truck, had fired three shots when
It was shattered by the Boer artillery.
The armored engine has many bullet
marks and its dome-cover Is smashed,
as, nlso, Is its automatic exhaust-pipe
and 25-ton screw Jack. The tender Is
also pitted with bullet marks.
Lieutenant Churchill was captured by
the Boers and taken a prisoner to Pre
toria. He was slightly wounded In the
hand.
DESPERATE FIGHTING.
Story of a fierce anil Bloody Conflict
Arounil Lndyninltli.
DURBAN. Natal, Nov. 20. The Times
of Natal publishes the following, dated
Nov. 15, from Its special correspondent
at Ladysmlth:
The enemy made a determined attack
on Thursday, Nov. 9, apparently all the
Boer forces participating. Their ar
tillery opened at 4 a. m., pouring in
shell thick and fast upon the British po
sitions, although with no great effect.
They adopted the unusual tactics of ad
vancing under cover of their guns to po
sitions on the ridges and kopjes adja
cent to those occupied by the British.
Continuing their advance, the Boera
crept up, using every available bit of
cover. Our Infantry opened with a
steady, warm and accurate fire, which
beat back the enemy, notwithstanding
a display of tenacity of purpose equal
to their desperate stands on previous
occasions. The Beer attack was most
elaborate on all sides of the town.
The main attack, however, was made
between the Free State and New Cas
tle railway lines by a column composed
chiefly of Johannesburg volunteeers. A
brigade of the King's Royal Rifle corps
made a splendid defense. The Boers
were repulsed, but soon rallied and re
turned to the attack. Again the British
Pre, which was very hot, forced them to
Jetlre. They had made a deep trench In
front of the British lines and while with
drawing for their horses' they left this
unguarded, whereupon the King's Rifles,
advancing at double-quick, occupied the
trench.
This smart movement was not seen by
the enemy, who goon returned to the
horses. Carefully reserving their fire,
the King's Rifles allowed the Boers to
advance almost to the edge of the trench,
and then poured volley after volley Into
the astounded Boers, who turned and
fled from an awful hall of bullets, bolt
ing across the open, where the artillery
of the British poured In a terrible and
effective shell fire. The enemy lost
heavily.
Meanwhile another section of the
Boers had brought a mortar into ac
tion, firing heavy shells. Our guns scon
silenced this weapon, the enemy's artil
lerymen fleeing headlong. The Biers
then advanced In force with a view of
repairing the mortar, but our artl.'lery
helled and scattered them right and
left. The fighting was all over at 11
o'clock.
Promptly at noon, General White or
dered a salute of 21 guns in honor ol
the birthday of the Prince of Wales. At
the cannon boomed, cheer after cheei
rang out from the troops and a scene
of enthusiasm, probably without par
allel In history, followed.
Ladysmlth is able to hold out for
months. On the other hand, It is re
ported that dysentery is making havoc
In the enemy's camp.
Onward March of the Boers.
HOPETOWN, Cape Colony, Nov. 21.
The Boers occupied Campbell in West
Griqualand.
MACARTHUR AT DAGUPAN.
No Insurgents Found Wheeler to He
main In the rhUipplnes.
MANILA, Nov. 21. General MacAr
thur's reconnaissance entered Dagupan
yesterday afternoon. The American
found that no Insurgents had been there
for four days. The Thirty-third Infan
try was probably In Dagupan Sunday,
leaving Sunday night. No insurgents
have been seen anywhere near the rail
road, and It Is believed that the only
armed force of any size la In the moun
tains of the province of Zambalea, tc
the west, nlthough there are reports
of insurgents concentrating at San Mi
guel de Camilang (or Camtling), west
of Panlque, and at Mangatarom (oi
Mangalaron), west of Bayambang.
General MacArthur Is prepared foi
the attack, his forces being disposed
between Bamban, province of Tarlafc,
and Dagupan. The Twelfth Infantry, a
battalion of the Seventeenth Infantry
and two troops of cavalry are with
General MacArthur below Dagupan,
General Wheeler hag decided not to
return for congress. He is writing a
letter to President McKinley with a
request that it be forwarded to the
house of representatives. In the course
of an Interview with a correspondent
of the press he said:
"Congress, If It occupies the first day
of the session In passing a resolution
declaring In unmistakable terms that
the sovereignty of the United States Is
to be maintained in the Philippines,
thus dispelling Agulnaldo's delusion
that the anti-lmperlallats can assist
him, will be performing a sacred duty.
Such a resolution would save the lives
of many American soldiers and of
thousands of deluded Filipinos, would
avert famine, suffering and desolation
from these islands and would render
unnecessary the expenditures of hun
dreds of millions of dollars."
Thirty Insurgents, under a major,
escaped from Bayambang, about ten
minutes before the Americans entered.
Others, It Is said, threw their guns into
the river and are now there in the role
of amigos. Many Spanish prisoners
escaped from the Filipinos are at Bay
ambang, among them the former gov
ernors of the provinces of Taiiac and
Zambales. There la also quite a large
colony of former insurgent officers col
lected at that point, including Major
Ortiz, who acted as Interpreter for the
Filipino commission, headed by Gen
eral Alejandrlno, which visited Ma
nila In September. Ortiz has donned
the amlgo clothing and announces that
he has abandoned the Insurrection.
The Spaniards say that the new in
surgent capital Is Bengaet and that the
American prisoners are at Camltin.
They report having seen Lieutenant
Gi'.more and his party In the north.

New York Hospital Buffering From the
Exposure.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS The navy
department yesterday gave out a clr
aumstantial account of the conspicous
gallantry of Ensign W. R. Gherardi
during the recent terrific cyclone which
swept across Porto Rico. It was for
warded by Captain Snow, command
ing the United States naval station at
San Juan who enclosed letters of Lieu
tenant Colonel Carr of the Fifth cav
alry and others concerlng the daring of
the exploit. Captain Snow also called
attention to the fact that the ensign
was now in the Naval hospital in New
York as a result of the exposure and
hardship, undergone at that time.
Ensign GerardI twice before has been
mentioned for conspicous gallantry.
The statement shows that when the
storm was at its height Ensign Gherar
di and J. J. Jlmlnez, a civil engineer,
ran along the beach to the point nearest
the shipping which was dragging an
chors trough the terrific force of the
wind. The schooner Conception, load
ed with 150 emigrants from San Do
mingo, and the steamer Vasco, were
In great distress. Some of the people
IN8ION WALTER It. GHERARDI.
were jumping overboard. The state
ment proceeds as follows:
"GerardI at once plunged Into the
water with his clothes on and began
dragging the unfortunates from the
waves and bringing them to shore.
He ordered those on board to throw a
life line to shore, so as io make fast,
but they were so terrorized that they
were unable to do anything but Jump
Into the water, where they were taken
by Gherardi and Jlminez and brought to
shore. There were from four to six
people (women and children) who did
not dare to Jump into the water. They
were told to do so. but remained where
they were and were undoubtedly lost
as the schooner soon went to pieces.
"Those rescued number nearly la(
souls. The steamer Vaseo was then
battling with the waves a few hundred
yards off. Gherardi called for a life
line and, forming a party of rescuers
In a line Joining hands extending out
Into the water, himself at the head,
he soon had hold of the line and bring
ing It to shore, fastened the end se
cnrely to a neighboring tree.
"The crew climbed down and along the
line and were safely landed."

BARNETT RAN BEHIND.
Farmer Creasey Was Way Ahead of Bis
Ticket.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 18.-The official
returns of the recent election show that
Colonel Barnett ran 23,889 votes behind
Supreme Judge-elect Brown and 19.810
votes behind Superior Court Judge-eleot
Mitchell. The last of the returns were
received at the state department, and
they were immediately computed under
the direction of Chief Clerk Thorn.
Wayne county was the last to send In
Its returns, and as court adjourned until
Saturday its returns do not bear the sig
nature of the sitting Judge. The re
turns are a true copy of the official vote
as returned from the various districts
in the county, and they are assumed to
be correct, even if they have not been
certified to by the court.
Colonel Barnett's plurality over Far
mer Creasy Is 110,488. Mr. Creasy polled
29,009 more votes than were cast for
Supreme Court Judge-elect Mestrezat
and 26,058 more than were cast for
Charles J. Rellly, Democratclc candidate
for superior court Judge.
Governor Stone will not appoint a
successor to Judge Mitchell until Jan. 1,
when his resignation as president Judge
of Tioga county takes effect David
Cameron and ex-Auditor General Nlles
are the most formidable aspirants.
Cameron Is a personal and political
friend of the executive of long standing,
and his friends have Stone's assurance
that he will be appointed.. The appoin
tee will eerve until the first Monday of
January, 1901.

opinion handed down In the famous
