Dalfnar Fxpresses Resolve of Britain's Government "Through Good and F.vll." London, Eng., (By Cable.) Arthur J. BaU four, First Lord ot the Treasury, made his annual address to bis Manchester constitu ents. An immense andlonce ga"re him an enthusiastic reception. Mr. Balfour contrasted the conditions of lot year, when the Fashoda Incident had been "honorably closed" nnd the Pence Con ference had begun nt The Hague, with those of today, when, as ho said, England bad be come Involved In the "greatest war of the generation." The Government, he said, had given the gnnorals an absolutely free hand. The war was "one In defense of our African Empire," and through good and evil fortune Britain would pursue It unswervingly to the end, so that no such war should ever be waged In South Africa again. Mr. Balfour ridiculed the foreign prophe cies that tho dissolution of the British Em pire was about to begin. Referring to con ditions before the war started, he said: "It Is true that the Government knew the situation contained elements ot perils, but it Is not true Hint we regarded the war ns any thing like inevitable. If It be asked why the Government, knowing that the Transvaal Wits Increasing Us armaments, did not pro tect, the melancholy reason rests In the Jameson raid, which gave the Transvaal a chance to sny It was arming not for aggres sion, but for self-protection. Thus, we are criticised for doing too little by those who a year ago attacked us for doing too irluch." Mr. Balfour said he believed the events which -prevented mobilization last August had done mora good In uniting parties and all parts ot the Empire than If Great Britain, and'not the Transvaal, had Issued the ulti matum. "Even the tactical misfortune at Lady smith or the extent of the Boer Invasion of British territory," said Mr. Balfour, "Is not such as need by Itself frighten even the moat timid." In defending the artillery equipment he said: "Do not believe that your soldiers are seitt to the Held with a worse gun than France or Germany would use In similar cir cumstances. The guns supplied to Sir George White were Intended for a mobile force, not for the defense of a belengured fortress. The course of the war has revealed the necessity for guns less mobile, but of greater range, and these are being put out abundantly." DAVIS SAYS JANUARY 1, 1001. Beginning of the Twentieth Century as He Figures. New York, (Hpeclal.) The Herald pub lished the following dispatch from Washing ton! "Capt. C. H. Davis, superintendent of the Naval Observatory, bas written several persons who have inquired ns to the date when the nineteenth oentury euds and the twentieth century begins. In one communi cation Captain Davis states that if the Ger man Emperor assigns a different date from that of January 1, 1901, as the commence ment of the new century he has simply stretched his Imperial prerogative In defi ance ot truth. Because an act Is the act ot government authority It is not necessarily right. "An opinion that the twentieth century commences on ue first day ot the year 19 0, If logically sustained, must test upon the assumption that the enumerations of the years of the Christian era, unlike any other arithmetical series to whlah serial numbers are, have been or can be assigned, com mences with xero instead ot one, and that's the first year of the era, and the year one ot the era are not interchangeable terms, nn assumption which Is manifestly untenable, or else It must rest on the assumption that lomu one century since the commencement of the era bos contained 9'J years instead of 100 years, also untenable."

Tlno Had Ordered That the Party Should be Shot, lint the Lieutenant In Charge of the uard Had a Hinder Heart, and Left Them llnhlnd to Strug gle for Themselves In a Savage Country. Manila, (By ' Cable.) Lieutenant t. C. Glllmore, of the United Htutengunboat York town, who was captured by the Insurgents last April nenr Baler, on the east coast pi Luzon, and rescued n few days ago by Col. Luther R. Hare, of the Thirty-third Volun teer Infantry, sat In the apartment of his sister, Mrs. Price, wife of Major Prloo, at the Hotel Orlente, In Manila, nnd told n re markable story of bis eight months In cap tivity, ending with his dramatic dellveranco from a death that seemed Inevitable. The steamer Venus came Into the harbor from Vlgnu, provlnon ot Houth I locos, with Lieut. Glllmore nnd nineteen other Ameri can prisoners, including seven of his sailors from the Yorktown. Lieutenant Glllmore, after reporting, enme ashore and hobbled nloog, with the nid ot n cane, to tho Hotol Orlente, where American olllcers and ladles were waltzing through the halls to the strains ot "Agulnnldo's March." Although tanned nnd ruddy from expos ure, be Is weak and nervous, showing the results of long hardships. Ue speaks warm ly of Agufnaldo and very bittnrly against General Tlno, declaring that while In the former's Jurisdiction he was treated splen didly, but that after he fell IntoTino'i bnnds he suffered everything. Colonel Hare and Lleutonaat Colonel Howze, the latter of the Thirty-fourth Vol unteer Infantry, rescued Olllmore's party on December 18, near the headwaters of the Abnlut river, after they had been abandoned by the Filipinos nnd were expecting death from the savage tribes around them. When the rescuing forces reached them they were nearly starved, but were building rafts In the hope of getting down the river to the coast. Licutennut Gillmore made tho following statement: "The Filipinos abandoned us on the night bf December 16. We had ranched the Abalut river, near Its source, nnd the Filipinos rafted us over. We then went down the stream along a rough trail, guarded by a company ot Filipinos. That night we were separated from this guard and another com pauy, armed with Mausers, was put In charge ot us. I suspected something, and -questioned tho lieutenant In command. He said: 'I have orders from General l'lno to shoot you all, but my conscience forbids. I shall leave you here.' "I begged him for two rifles to protect us from savages, adding that I would give btm letters to the Americans, who would pny him well und keep him from nil barm. He refused this, however, saying that he would cot dure to comply. Soon afterward he left with his company. "We bad seen some savages In war paint around us, nnd we prepared to fight them with cobblestones, the only weapons that were available to us. The next morning we followed the trail of the Filipino soldiers, feeling that it was' better to stick to thtm than to be murdered by savages, but we could not catch up with them. Then I ordered the men to build rafts, in the hope of floating down the river. It was a forlorn hope, hut I knew the river must empty Into the sea somewhere. I was so weak myself that I did not expect to get out, but I thought some of the men could. Yells That Cheered Them. "On the morning ot December 18, while wo were working on the rofts, the Ameri cans caire toward us yelling. One of my men shouted, "They are ou us!" He was lashing a raft of bamboo. I, however, knew It was not the yell of suvagos, but the yell of Americans. The rescuing troops thought we hud Filipino guards, aud culltd to us In English to He down so thut they could shoot the Filipinos. That was the finest body ot officers and men I ever saw." Lieutenant Glllmore oaunot speak enthusi astically enough about the 140 picked men Who had rescued him aud his party. The command spent the duy lu making rafts. Colonel Hare thought Lieutenant Gllmore too weak to live through the trip, but there was no alternative. They shot many rapids, the men losing all their effects aud Lieutenant Glllmore some vuluable pa pers. Only fourteen out of thirty-seven rafts survived the first night's experiences, and eighty men were practically uuuble to walk when Vigan was reached. Describing the flight from Benguet, when the Amerlcuus approached, Lleutenaut GUI more said: "The Filipinos, completely terrified, left Benguet ou December 7. Tuoy hurried the prisoners from town to town, often retrac ing the truil, not knowing where the Amer icans would attack. After being almost without food tor three days, they killed several horses, and we lived on borse flesh for several days. I did not have a full meal from December 7 until I reached Vlgan. Indeed, the resouing party lived largely upon rice, without suit. There was one day when I was reduced to chewing grass and bark. ABOUT NOTED PEOPLE. Susan B.

Cartridge fot ths Lee-Met ford rifle, which the British Army uses, are running short and the War Offloe has djcldod to use the "Murk IV" expand ing bullet. These bullets spread on striking, nnd pro duce wounds moo than twice as deadly as those caused by the Mauser, which the Boerr use. It Is said thut the "Mark IV" will be used chiefly for practice, and It may not o employed in actual hostilities. The first statement of the losses in the Boer assault on the British garrison nt Lady smith, Natal, was received in London. Ac cording to this report, which is unofficial, the B.ltlsh losses wero 14 olllcers killed, 34 wounded and over 800 noncommissioned officers and men killed or wounded. The Boer losses, according to British estimates, were between 2,000 und 3,000 In killed or Wounded. Tho London Htnndnrd hns the following dlspntch, dated Monday, from Frere Camp, Natal: "Our patrols have searched both flanks of the Boer position. They found a large camp five miles east ot Colenso, evi dently In anticipation of a British attempt at a turning movement."

Guu, Sir Charles Warren's division hus not re cently been mentioned lu the dispatches, nnd It was reported to be attempting to flunk tho Boer position at Colenso by way of Weenen, on the east.

Ilrltlsh War Offlce Issuing this Projectile to Troops. London, (By Cable.) -Lee-Metford car tridges are running short in the British mag azines, nnd, uocordlng to a semiofficial state, ment, tho Wur Ofllce intends to fall back temporarily upen 100.000,000 "Mark IV" ex panding bullets, most of which are already In storage In South Africa. The War Ofllce, however, has Issued a strict order to tho volunteers that the 60 rounds of "Mark IV" bullets already given them must be used In practice nt home, none being taken to South Africa. After tho public announcement that no such bullet would be used In this war, Its employment, the Dully Chronicle thinks, would be a strlous breach of faith, especially as the British commanders have oomplalned that the Boers occasionally use such rro Jectlles.
