LONDON. Nov. 28 For the moment
the Boer Invasion southward in Natal
seems not only to have spent its tunc
but to have developed Into a retrograde
movement, though with forres ho mo
bile as those or the liners It is difficult
to surmise where Ihey will appear next
Apparently General Clery's advance
to the relief of l,adysmllh has really
commenced. So far hs nxr ei tainnble
enoral Hildyard's force which Is al
ready at Frere, must number 10.000 men
and should be able to reoccupy Colenso.
where it may have to await reinforce-
mcnts of nrtillery and cavalry hefoio
joining hands with General1 White.
General Barton now occupies Lstrourt
and Mool river will be occupied by rein
forcements from Plolerniaritzburg. The
whole situation has been distinctly
cleared since the arrival of General Bui-
ler in Natal, though doubtless the Brit
ish will have many difficulties to over
come. Before General White is released
n big battle is likely to occur at the
passage of the Tugoln river and It may
be expected that the Doers will make n
stand there. In any cose wherever they
elect to try to stem the British advance
there will be desperate righting and of n
sanguinary character.
The outlook In Cape Colony is dark
for tho British. That General Gatacre
has no easy task Is proved by the lat
est dispatches from Queenstown and
elsewhere showing that the majority of
the population on the frontier have
openly declared themselves on the Fide
of the Doers. Hands of Boers are doing
Immense damage over a wide area and
they have now appeared south of Storm
berg. General Gatacre, however, moves
to the front, sn It is hoped by the Brit
ish the Invasion will soon be stemmed.
A meeting nf refugees from Aliwnl
North, the constituency of J. W. Saner,
the commissioner of public works, held
at Queenstown Sunday, passed a reso
lution of "distrust and alarm" at Mr.
Pauer's visit to the border, "which has
been followed by such an outbreak of
treason and rebellion." The. resolution,
which has b-en sent to Sir Alfred Mll
ner. ndds:
"The refugees do not grudge any sac
rifices provided British supremacy Is
re-established."

LONDON, Nov. 27. Yesterday after
noon the war office posted the following
dispatch, dated Cape Town, 12:20 p. m.,
from General Forestler-Walker:
"Lord Methuen reports that he moved
yesterday (Saturday) at 3:30 a. m,, with
the Ninth brigade, the mounted corps,
the naval brigade and two batteries, the
Guards following with the baggage.
Near Gras Tan (about 10 miles north of
Belmont on the railway line to Klmber
ley, 2,500 Boers with six guns and two
machine guns opposed him. The action
began at 6 a. m. Our batteries fired
shrapnel very accurately till the heights
seemed clear. Then the naval brigade
and Infantry advanced to the assault.
The fighting was desperate until 10 a
m., when the heights were carried. The
Boers retreated on the line, where the
Ninth Lancers were placed to intercept
them. The result was not known at the
time of telegraphing. The artillery took
Immediate advantage of the enemy's
retirement.
"Early in the action 600 Boers at
tacked our rear guard. The brigade
met this and also protected the flank.
The naval brigade acted with the
greatest gallantry and suffered heav
lly, but no particulars are yet known.
"The enemy showed the greatest
stubbornness and must have suffered
greatly. Twenty were burled. It Is
known that 31 were killed and 43
wounded. More than 50 horses were
found dead In one place. One battery
fired 500 rounds.

The naval brigade, the royal marines,
the light Infantry and the first battal

especially distinguished themselves.
"Regarding Thursday's fight: Eighty
Dne Boers killed are accounted for. Six
ty-four wagons were bnrned. A large
quantity of powder, 60,000 rounds of
ammunition and 750 shells were blown
up. Commandant Albrecht (chief of
the Orange Free State artillery) com
manded the Boer artillery. General
Dolewy was In chief command."

NEW NAVAL STATION.
Admiral Dewey Favors Kalnhllslilng
One Near Mmilln.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Admiral
Dewey called at the navy department
In response to a request from Secretary
Long to discuss th question of estab
lishing a naval station at Cavlto or
other points near Manila. Such a sta
tion is now In operation at Cavlte, but
It Is foreseen that the requirements of
the navy may bs much greater than
those which are temporarily attended
to at Cavite.
The admiral brought with him por
tions of his report to be incorporated
In the full report of a permanent na
val station for the Philippines and rec
ommends Sublg bay, about CO miles
from Manila, as preferable to Cavite.
as there Is a line harbor, ample depth
of water and many natural advantages
for making this a strong naval estab
lishment.
While Admiral Dewey's view will
doubtless prevail when a permanent
station is established, this will be for
congress to deal with and the present
purpose Is to utilize the Cavite station
for the current work on the warships.
Rear Admiral Gillis' name has been
mentioned as commandant of the Ca
vite station. He was at the department
and conferred with Secretary Long on
the subject, but the Impression pre
vails that one of the young officers
will be chosen.
STILL AT LARGE.
Franklin Syniilrale Swindlers Have Not
Yet lleeu Cnptured.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. William F.
Miller and his secretary and chief
boomer, Cecil Leslie of the Franklin
syndicate, the 10 per cent a week con
cern of 144 Floyd street, Brooklyn, have
not yet been arrested.
The extensive operations of the
Franklin syndicate and the exhaustless
credulity of the American people are
shown by the number of dividend
drafts which ore held by the different
city banks.
These drafts were sent through the
malls by Miller to subscribers living at
distant points, and they deposited them
In their local banks for collection. The
local banks in turn sent them to the
New York banks, which act as their
agents here.
These drafts arrived on Saturday.
Many more are expected this week. As
the syndicate has assigned the drafts
will be returned to their dupes.

rial hint Admiral.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24. Colonel Will
iam Conant Church, chairman of the
executive committee of the committee
for the prepetuatlon of the Dewey arch
yesterday made a lengthy statement in
regard to the relation of the arch to
Admiral Dewey.
"The arch," he said, "Is to be the
Dewey arch In the sense it has always
been. It Is certain that the fame of
Admiral Dewey and the battle of Man
ila bay Is to be commemorated In the
arch and there Is little doubt that It will
be known as the Dewey arch Just as

the Nelson monument.
Sneaking of the storm of abuse heap
ed upon the admiral over the transfer
of his home In Washington, Colonel
Church said: "It Is a shameful attack.
There was no excuse for it and it will
not lessen our love and respect for
him or change us in our purpose to
hnlld this arch for him and In his
honor."

AGED COUPLE ROBBED.

UlilliiK I'laee o. Vfonr.
TOWANDA, Pa., No". 27. The house
of Samuel G. Marsha'l, at Phshequin, a
small village eigtu n.l es nuith of this
city, was entert;". by armed umtuar
early In the moi-nln the Inmates tied
to bedposts, and under threats of- tor
ture forred to divulge the hiding place
of In cash. The facts, as learned
from Detective Guy C. Hoi, on of To
wanoa a;- as fo,...s:
It was a little b-fi.te 1 o'clock when
Mis. Marshall was awakened by some
one entering her loom. She was con
fronted by one man bearing a dark lan
tern and three others with cocked revol
veis. .:e i ratrd ti k.- -p
quiet and Mr. Marshall was croused.
His money was demanded, and he tried
to bluff off the robbers by saying he had
none, but the fellows had been pus.ed,
one of them saying: "Yes you hae; we
know you are township treasurer, and
you were paid a lot of money yesterday.
Now you tell us where It is or we'll roast
you."
Mr. Marshall is an old man, and ac
quiesced. "The safe is in the next
room," he said, "and it is unlock ..
Leaving one of their number the oth
ers opened the safe, smashed the Inner
door and found the cash. While they
were gone the fellows on guard ran
sacked and appropriated two watches,
one gold, the other silver.
The 9-year-old gran laughter of the
couple was brought from upstairs and
tied to a chair. Then after gagging the
trio the robbers departed as silently as
they came, the leader remarking: "Well,
boys, we'll have to hustle If we do that
other Job before daylight."
No report of any other burglary has
yet reached Towanda, nor has any clue
been obtained as to the direction the
thieves took.
Mr. Marshall bears an excellent repu
tation, and his story Is believed. Detec
tive Hollon offers $50 for the apprehen

EWING APPOINTED
Oovornor Names a Nuccessor to Judge
Mestrexat.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 24 Samuel E.
Ewing, of Uniontown, has been ap
pointed by Governor Stone to the va
cancy on the Fayette county bench cre
ated by the resignation of Supreme
Judge-elect Mestrezat and the promo
tion of Judge Reppert as president
Judge. The appointment takA effect
Immediately and expires the first Mon
day of next January, when Judge-elect
Robert E. Umbel assumes the duties
of additional law judge.
Judge Ewing Is a brother of ex-Judge
Nathaniel E. Ewing, the Republican
candidate who was defeated at the
recent election by Judge Umbel and
who threatened to contest the Beat of
his successful competitor. No reason
la assigned by the governor for ap
pointing Ewing to this vacancy, when
Judge Umbel holds a certificate of
election from the executive beginning
the first Monday of next January and
running for the full term of ten years.
Umbel is a Democrat and managed
Judge Mestrezat's campaign for su
preme court Judge. Ewing is a Repub
lican and this probably explains the
governor's action in appoint him In
stead of the judge-elect.
Governor Stone tendered ex-Judge
Nathaniel Ewing the appointment to
the vacancy during his campaign. The
ex-judee declined, however, on the
plea that he could make a more ag
gressive canvass for election off the
bench than on. He was tendered the
appointment after the election and
