The government has received dispatches rectifying the casualty lists. These will lie published today. Up to Midnight nothing had Lieen received concerning monday s casualties. The War office officials Are working under great Strain. Captain Ivr Riott staff Captain to the military Secretary. Has just died i end being hastened by anxiety and overwork. An unconfirmed statement is published that general sir hedgers Buller has left tape town for Ladysmith. A belated dispatch from Ladysmith describing monday s tight says a a couple of squadrons of Hussars had a narrow escape from disaster Early in the Day. The found themselves suddenly confronted within easy Range by an overwhelming Force of hours w to seemed to Spring from the bowels of the Earth. The Hussars were splendidly handled and were extricated with Only one Man i he Queen is credited with expressing sincere pity for sir George Stewart White and the officials Are in Nowise inclined to judge him harshly. So far As the Public is concerned however while gratification is Felt at tin manner in which the isolated battalions surr dered there is still severe criticism for general White and lieutenant colonel Carleton for allowing the column to get out of touch for the absence of proper scouting and for not retiring when the ammunition was lost. In favor of Carleton the explanation is hazarded that he believed it was imperative to the Success of general w Hites operations that he should hold the position at pc i Chol son Nek. Cape town. Nov. of the British naval brigade have knocked the Boer forty Pounder clean off it platform arid silenced the Boer guns at Hepworth Hill. The Boers abandoned their position. London nov. I. V Ladysmith special says the Boers again closed around the place monday sending shells into the British Camp. Two guns landed from the British Cruiser powerful opened tire on the Boers a Dawn tuesday. The Boers brought up More guns but none of them were silenced. The Boer loss must have been heavy. The Garrison at Ladysmith is in Good spirits confident and full of fight. The artillery Duel was still in Progress tuesday night. Two Miles of Nicholson a Nek. At this Point two boulders were rolled from the Hill and a few Rifle shots stampeded the infantry ammunition mules. Hie Stampede spread to the Battery mules which broke Loose from their leaders and got away with practically the whole of the gun equipment and tile greater portion of the regimental Small Arm ammunition. A i he Reserve was similarly lost. The infantry battalions however fixed bayonets and accompanied by the personnel of the artillery seized a Hill on the left of the Road two Miles from the Nek with but Little opposition. There they remained unmolested until Dawn the time being occupied in an organized defense of the Hill and constructing hangars and Walls As a cover from fire. At Dawn a skirmish attack on our position was commenced by the enemy but they made no Way until 9 30 a. Iii., when Strong reinforcements enabled them to Ruh to the attack with great Energy. Their fire became very searching and two companies of tile Gloucester in an Advance position were ordered to full Back. The enemy then pressed to Short Range the losses on our Side be coming very numerous. A at p. In. Our ammunition was practically exhausted the position captured and the survivors of the eol i Ullin fell into the enemy a hands. Tin enemy treated our wounded with he i inanity. General Joubert at once dispatched a Lefter to me offering Safe conduct to doctors and ambulances to remove the wounded. Medical officers and parties to Render first Aid to 1lie wounded were dispatched to the scene of action from Ladysmith last night and ambulances at Dawn this morning. The want if Success of the column was due to the misfortune of the mules stampeding and the consequent Hiss of Gillie and the Small Arm ammunition Reserve. An official list of casualties and prisoners will lie reported shortly. The latter is understood to have been sent by rail to Pretoria.

Quot my latest private information from leading members of the filipino Assembly that Aguinaldo will make no move toward peace until he sees what Congress intends to do.

A if Congress decide that the Philippines Are to have self government then peace will ensue certainly but if a military government is decreed War will continue to the end. It will take 300,000 men to effect the Conquest of the Philippines and 600, a Kyj to maintain order there afterwards.

The War office today made Public the following dispatch from general White at Ladysmith. Under Date of s p. M. October 31 a took out from Ladysmith a brigade of mounted troops two brigade divisions of the Royal artillery. Natal Field Battery and two brigades of infantry to reconnoitre in Force the enemy s main position to the North and if Opportunity should offer to capture the Hill behind far Unher s farm which had on the previous Day been held in strength by the enemy. In connection with this Advance a column consisting of the tenth Mountain artillery four halt companies of the Gloucester and six companies of the Royal Irish Fusiliers the whole under lieutenant Blond i Arl ton and major Adye. Deputy assistant adjutant general was dispatched at 11 p. M. On the 29th to March by night up Belle Spruit and seize Nichols ii Nek or some position near Nicholson Nek thus securing the enemy s right flank. The main Advance was successfully carried out the objective of the attack being fount evacuated anti an artillery thud Between our Field batteries and the enemy a guns of position and maxims is understood to have caused a heavy to to the enemy. I he Deconno Ishanee forced the enemy to fully disclose his position and after i a Strong counter attack on our right the infantry brigade Aud cavalry having been repulsed the troop were slowly withdrawn to Camp pickets being left on observation. In a later engagement the naval contingent tinder Captain Lambton of her majesty s hip powerful came into action add Ile need with their extremely heavy fire the enemy a Guu of position. Lost their ammunition. I he circumstances which attended a movements of lieutenant colonel 1 Ariton column Are not yet fully j not a. But from reports received the Chi Amu appears to have carried out a j get March unmolested until within Whites explanation relieves lug Lan Louie Point not a Lear. London nor. gloom caused by tin British disaster at Ludy Mith was in a measure relieved by today a Story giving an account of the heroic stand made by the decimated battalion until the last cartridges were gone. British nerve was momentarily shaken by Whites of the word a a capitulated in his first Telegram nut now that it is known that the Gloucester and Fusiliers fought against overwhelming Odds aim upheld the Best traditions of the British army tin tension has been relieved since there i it no longer ground to dread that to tit life and men was accompanied by Dishonour. The detail today show tin catastrophe in a brighter aspect. In Uil battalions were not engaged and therefore the lit of prisoners is materially reduced. While the disaster appears to Nave be. A not of much consequence the defect in the plan of action still seems incomprehensible. It seems strange that the plight of the luckless column was not known at Headquarters us the scene of surrender is Only about i Bree Miles Northwest of Ladysmith and colonel Carlton must have expected Relief to reach him. Or instead of attempting to occupy a defensive to it Ion. He would have retraced his Steps to Ladysmith when he suffered the of his ammunition. Part from Whites statement thai the Loe were very numerous there i nothing to indicate the extent of them except vague reports to the effect that soldiers who brought the new to Ladysmith said the British dead and wounded were lying in heaps and that hundreds needed doctor. This however i hardly borne out bythe Long list of captured officers. The concluding sentence of White dispatch relative to the safety of lady Milf is received Here with a certain Reserve in View of the fact of similar official assurances Given re it in at Dundee and Glencoe and there i intense anxiety for further new of the reported renewed attack which is not mentioned Iii the official dispatches. The calamity a. Served to show the British who Are their friends.

Upon the a what do they say of the philippine situation in Madrid Quot a i talked with a number of Spanish statesmen and generals who had had experience in the Philippines. They were All pleased to see that the United states had found the subjugation of the Philippines not such an easy matter As had been expected. They declared it an impossible achievement in the manner that the uni Erieana were proceeding a the filipino have offered to release the Spanish prisoners if Spain will recognize filipino Independence but Spain while anxious to get the soldiers freed does not want to offend the United a do you think peace is coming a that depends on Congress. \ Quick honorable settlement would be far More advantageous to the United states than this unending inconclusive War. But the filipino will not stand a military government. They had enough of that from the spaniards. And it never Senor Regidor i a native filipino.

La res expulsion of friars i Ron Guam an it outrage. Washington. Nov. 2. The action of a Plain itary at Guam in expelling the friars from that Island is sure to create a fir in Catholic circles. Six out of even were forced to leave and tin other was allowed to remain Only on Promise of Gootel behaviour. Archbishop it Happell the papal Delegate to the Philippines lie non need Captain Leary a action. He said a the expulsion of these Friar is ail outrage. For four centuries they and their predecessors have Laboured for the natives. They have taught them agriculture. Built houses and schools for them and have spent their lives in teaching them the blessings of work and christianity and lifting them above the level of Savages. To expel itch in it is a crime. A without the Friar to hold them to it the natives will not they i a naturally Idle and Lazy and would rather let their farm go to ruin and grow up Iii weeds than cultivate them. It is absurd to suppose that the friars have interfered with the government 1 of the Island or have incited the natives to revolt. I feel lire that the matter can la straighten a out and that president Mckinley will order their restoration to their pastorate. It i very singular that Captain Leary Hougil have considered it necessary to have another battalion of marines to Aid him to expel half a dozen friars unless i action were altogether unreasonable. Charges Hie archbishop with Ibeling la till. Albuquerque. N. A. Nov. 2. General Frederick Funston who i Enro Ute Home with the twentieth Kansas regiment has wired i Topeka attorneys to bring proceedings against archbishop Ireland of or.

General Funston also instructed i lawyers to begin criminal and civil prosecutions against the Monitor a uth Olic paper of san Francisco wide Tir to printed the Story. Sikin after the Landing of the Kansas troop in san Francisco the Monitor stated it is said. That Genera Funston had taken two magnificent chalices from a certain Albinice Church in the Philippines Aud had sent them Home to his wife. Rich Bishop Ireland in a recent interview Iii Chicago was quoted As calling upon general fun Lon to deny tile truth of the article and sue Tho editor of the Monitor for libel or the Public would be obliged Aga in fit will to believe him guilty of the criminal acts of which he has been accused.

Through the Hatchway of the two warships the wire. Were extended to the same height. The message which the new York.

It was a follow ii Down at i p. this message was the beginning of the Telegraph the Ting program which include about seventy five messages All of which had been prepared by the naval Board and were especially difficult. Every five minutes during the course Down the River the new York telegraphed Over the constantly increasing distance to the Mayasar Susetts and the battleship replied to the flagship without a break. All the messages in the correspondence were caught at Navesink and a careful record of them was kept by lieutenant lilith. The naval representative at the Lighthouse.
