BRITISHERS BEAM

A Battle Fought NeartheTown of Buluwayo.

MANY MATABELES WERE KILLED.

The British Party Also Suffer Severely and Finally Compelled to Ketreat—At One Time They Were in Danger of Complete Annihilation The Wires Are

Again Cut and Details Are Lacking. CAPE TOWN, April 25.—Telegraphic

communication with Buluwayo was reopened for a time yesterday, and then there was another break, believed, however, to be only a temporary interruption. During the time the wire was working, dispatches were received from several sources in the besieged town. The news is somewhat conflicting, but the main fact seems well established that the British have made a sortie in force, encountered large number of Matabeles, inflicting great loss upon them, suffered in return, were at one time in danger of annihilation and finally retreated.

The dispatch says that Commander Duncan, with 200 whites and 100 natives, with Maxim and Hotchkiss guns, met the Matabeles three miles out of Buluwayo. The Matabeles fired a heavy volley into the British party and drove them into Umgaza river. One of the whites in the British party was killed and three officers were wounded and several of the natives were killed. The Matabeles lost 150 killed and a large number wounded.

Soldiers Suffering^OETroin Influenza. LONDON", April 25.—The Daily Tele­

graph has a dispatch from Gwelo, Matabeleland, which says that an epidemic of influenza is raging there and that 50 per cent of the troops relied on for defense are suffering from it.

PLEADED GUILTY.

Three of the Uitlander Leaders at Johannesburg. PRETORIA, April 25.—Messrs. Francis

Rhodes, Lionel Phillips and George Farrar, three members of the Johannesburg reform committee, pleaded guilty of high treason yesterday and the other members of the same committee pleaded guilty of lese majeste, but without hostile intent against the independence of the Transvaal. The case was adjourned until Monday when the defendants will be sentenced.

The courtroom was crowded when the cage of the reform committee prisoners was called, but the crowd was quite orderly and there was no demonstration, although the town is filled with Burghers and with Randers.

Great surprise was caused by th«3 prisoners pleading "guilty." Their action is regarded as greatly simplifying matters.

IMapatehes the Time# and Standard. LONDON, April 25.—A dispatch from

Pretoria to The Times says regarding th« trial of the reform committee prisoners: "The prosecution withdrew all counts in the indictment except those to which the accused pleaded guilty. John Hays Hammond and J. S. Curtis were absent on aocount of siokness, but they are expected Monday. It is understood that cogent reasons, which will be published shortly, actuated the accused in pleading guilty."

The Standard's Paris correspondent says that The Temps has a dispatch from Pretoria saying: "It is declared that the prosecution in the trial of the National reform committee will produce crushing proofs of complicity against the Chartered South Africa company."

Warlike ActiTity.

LONDON, April 25.—A dispatch from Cape Town to The Times says: "It is reported from Johannesburg that numerous Boer wagons, all in charge of white men with no Kaffir drivers, are leaving Petoria with ammunition and field requirements, their destination being unknown. The Boers, it is further said, are in constant communication with the artillery camp from which these wagons load and depart."

Cecil Rhodes' Intentions.

LONDON, April 25.—The Daily News announces that Cecil Rhodes intends, when the rebellion in Matabeleland is quelled, to return to his parliamentary duties at Cape Town.

AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

President Faure Is Still Without a Cabinet and May Resign. PARIS, April 25.—President Faure put

in the day in conferences with the political leaders of the various parties, and M. Bourgois' successor is still undetermined.

M. Loubet assured the president that the scnatf-, having affirmed its constitutional prerogatives, would not offer any factious opposition, even to a Radical cabinet.

MM. Erisson and Poincare advised the president to form a Radico-Repub-lican cabinet.

Rumors of President Faure's resignation are rife. M. Waldeck-Rousseau is already a center of attraction as a possible successor. M. Faure's family and entourage favor his resignation but the president is made of sterner stuff than was Cassimir-Perier.

The palace of the Elysee is guarded by a hundred extra cavalry. At a socialist meeting last night M. Pelletan declared that Paris must rise and take another bastile. Another revolution was necessary, he said, and another onslaught upon such strongholds of capital as the Rothschilds. Other speakers followed in the same strain.

Some blows were struck outside in the conflict with the police. Two journalists of The Libre Parole were ar* rested, but were released in 10 minutes.

GREENFIELD, INDIANA SATURDAY EVENING APRIL 2511896

The cause of the migration, it is said, is the local antipathy on the part of trade unionists and others to Chinese laundries, and the consequent inability of the almond-eyed Celestials to make even a ghost of a living. According to a representative of the Chinese Six companies, there will not be a year hence over 200 or 300 of his countrymen in the corporate limits of Chicago.

TROUBLE ON PHILIPPINE ISLAND3.

Our American Consul Not Allowed to Send Telegrams to Washington. NEW YORK, April 25.—A special to

The World from. Madrid says: Advices from Manila, Philippine Islands, report that the American consul there Isaac M. Elliott, filed a cablegram early in March for the state department at Washington, claiming that the vexatious customhouse methods would compel the American merchants who had settled in that Spanish colony to abandon their trade.

All telegrams dispatched from Manila are submitted to authorities before being sent. General Blanco caused the American consul's cablegram to be detained until he had time to consult both the local council, composed of the local authorities, and the chief official of the customhouse.

The customs official naturally declared that assertions of the American consul and merchants were false, and stated that he had only applied the regulations in force against all exporters of products from the Philippine Islands.

In consequence of this inquiry, according to the Spanish officials' version, the American consul consented to cancel his cablegram, which the Spanish authorities would not forward anyhow.

The Spanish party in Manila wanted to make an ti-American and patriotic demonstrations, but the authorities forbade them, and took energetic steps to protect the American consulate.

Spanish advices attribute the discontent in the Philippine islands to abuses in the local administration, the immorality of the Spanish officials and above ail, to the petty tyranny of the religous orders, which practically are more powerful than the Spanish viceroys.

MILLIONS TO BE DIVIDED.

Edward Pardrldge, the Chicago Speculator, Left No Will. CHICAGO, April 25.—Edward Pard-

ridge, the board of trade plunger, who died a few days ago, was worth $2,700,000. The interesting announce* ment has just been made that the noted speculator left no will.

The children are Willard and Frederick Pardridge, Laura Pardridre, Mrs. Price and Mrs. Leaning-

This is not the full amount of money that the plunger made in his lifetime for he had at different times given large sums to various members of his famiiy. The estate of his wife is now estimated at $2,000,000, all of which she received from him. All of Mr. Pardridgo's children had also received large amounts from him.

CHINESE LEAVING CHICAGO.

Labor People Refuse to Patronise lion golian Laandries. CHICAGO, April 25.—The Chinese col­

The Weak Point.

The owner of a menagerie in Berlin, which included a 'happy family," consisting of a lion, a tiger, a wolf and a sheep, was asked one day in confidence how long these animals had lived together. 'About nine months,'' he replied, "excepting the sheep, which has to be renewed occasionally."—London Fun.

"Tell that to the marines" indicates the contempt which, even to the present day, professional sailors feel and express for the slodiers who form a portion of the complement on board a maii-of-war.

Grace leads the right way. If you choose the wrong, take it and perish, but restrain your tongue. Charge not, with lights sufficient and left free, your willful suicide on God's decree.—Cowper.
