HAVANA, .Oct. 21.-Gen. Qulntin Bandera, speaking In the" Spanish Casino at Cardenas to-day, said: "During the war I wa3 a furious enemy of the Spanish and of every one opposed to Cuban liberty, but now I am only anxious for tranquillity and ordar among the elements of the population. Cuba sees with deep displeasure that the Spaniards are not allowed to raise their flags In Havana over buildings where clubs meet. Tho Spaniards have their interests and their children In Cuba, where they will remain, and they will undoubtedly lend their aid in the reconstruction of the island. What is more, they will not be an obstacle to the attainment of a complete independence for their fatherland and their children, for which they are willing to sacrlricc their existence. I do not beiiece It probable that the Spaniards will join the American government so the Cubans may not succeed in seeing the independence of their country realized. It would be madness to believe this The Spaniards are patriots above all and would not see with p.easure their language and religion and customs, which are the same as ours, disappearsmothered by other strange ones."

At beneca, Kan., Judge Stewart, in the Circuit Court of Neman county, has handed down a decision in favor of the telegraph company. The effect of his decision is to deClare the act unconstitutional.

F. T. NEELY A BANKRUPT

AVELL-KXOWS PUBLISHER FILES A VOLUNTARY - rETITlOX. Unable to Make a Satisfactory Arranscnient with Creditors Mr. Neelj's Statement. NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-F. Tennyson Neely, the publisher, of 114 -Fifth avenue, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the United States Court to-day, The total liabilities are placed at 9,331. and the assets at $il4,73a. Of this amount J3S1.530 Is the estimated value of stock, $00,S52 open accounts, $05,055 bills and notes, and $152 cash and checks. Mr. Neely to-day gave out the following statement: "I have to-day filed a voluntary petition In bankruptcy, a proceeding due to the fact that one or two of my creditors objected to an amicable arrangement wThlch my creditors and myself were endeavoring to make in order to carry on business and to Insure each creditor the payment of-his claim in full. . A short time ago I found that I would be unable to meet all my maturing obligations in full on presentation, and in order to determine upon the best method to pursue I held a consultation with the largest of my creditors and stated fully to them the condition of my affairs. At their suggestion I offered to transfer to a corporation all my property and the good will of my buslnes?, which for twelve years I have successfully carried on, and all of the principal creditors, with the exception of two, assented to this plan. Besides transferring1 my property I offered to devote my personal service and attention to the business of the corporation. The two creditors who refused to enter into this arrangement began proceedings, evidently with the purpose of securing a preference over all the other creditors, By the advice of my counsel, and at the request of largest creditors, at a meeting held in my office to-day. I have filed a voluntary petition, as indicated above. The statement of my affairs shows that the assets of the business if continued as a working concern would largely exceed my total liabilities of every kind. My branch offices in London, Chicago, Philadelphia, will, of course, be affected by this proceeding. "The action which I have taken to-day is not due to the lack of business. On tho contrary, I have a large, profitable and growing business. I have been unable to get a large amount of work with printers and binders completed according to time contracts, and I have given obligations In partial payment for this work, which obligations matured before I had an opportunity to convert these valuable assets Into money, owing to the unprecedented trade demand upon printers and binders. Had this work been delivered on time, according to contracts, there would have been sufficient money realized from these assets to have met all my obligations aa they matured, as I have always been able to do in tho past. "It is my expectation and hope that som6 adjustment may be perfected whereby the season's business will not be lost. The difficulty could not have presented Itself at a more unfortunate period. In the midst of cne of the busiest publishing seasons on record. I have no doubt that at a meeting of my creditors, which will be called within a few days, some arrangement will be made to continue and perpetuate my very valuable business." ' ANOTHER FIGHT. (Conclnded from First race.) the Boers are not likely, to make any further offensive movement. The correspondent says: "They are demoralized, and the men refuse to take risks and are growing to distrust Joubert. The mixed mercenaries are proving troublesome. Tire artillery Is badly handled and the- administrative department is revealing marked defects." The operations thus far see,m to show that the Orange Free State Roers have a strong disinclination to fight at close quarters. This was rather anticipated. The Transvaal Boer Is a rough farmer, accustomed to live in the open air and to bivouac. The Free State burgher lives in a comfortable brick house and la much more civilized. It would also appear, as was predicted, that only the young burghers of the Free State have responded to the call to arms. Mr. Schrelner, the Cape premier, is- each day being brought more Into line with the policy of Sir Alfred Mllner, British high commissioner In South Africa and Governor of Cape Colony, and his resignation is not now desired, as the premier's present attitude is considered a safeguard against Dutch disaffection. -. ' News comes in a telegram from Tuli, dated Oct. 16. The dispatch says: "Major PIt?on. from Rhodesdrift, with fifty Boers, passed Pontdrift this morning shouting that they would wake the British situation up. Another body of Boers ha9 crossed the river at Bainsdrift and Is marching on MacLoutsle. where the postmaster declares that he thinks he can hold the Boers at bay. The garrison is throwing up lntrenchments." This shows that the Boers have thus far achieved nothing in the direction of Rhodesia. The paramount chief of the Basutos, according to a dispatch from Cape Town, has asked permission to assemble the other Basuto chiefs, with a view of inviting them to pledge loyalty to the Queen. This is assumed to be a forerunner of a Basuto movement and the Orange- Free State burghers near the Basuto border are said to be in a state of consternation, fearing that at any moment the Basutos, despite Imperial instructions to tho contrary, will take the field nnd invade the Free State. A dispatch from Cape Town announces that a British force with field guns landed yesterday at Simons Town and took a train for the north. The exact destination was not revealed, but probably it is some point on the southern frontier of the Orange Free State, wThere the Boers are assembling. FIRST BATTLE CF DUNDEE. A Correspondent's Delated Account of Friday's EnROgeinent. LONDON, Oct. 22.-A correspondent in Glencoe Camp sends the following dispatch under date of Oct. 20, mbrning: "Daybreak disclosed the Dutch all around Jundee. As soon as they were In position on the hill behind Petersmlth's house, where they posted a cannon, rifle fire became general, and to wake s they put several shots and shells slap Into the camp, causing a speedy evacuation of tho tents, and a forming up of all the ranks outside the camp. Our guns were soon in action, and replied with telling effect. The whizzing of the enemy's shots as they passed over our heads had music in It; yet, beyond a natural dodging of heads, their effect was not disastrous. "So effective was our artillery fire that in ten minutes the guns of the Boers were all but silenced. I could see from my position how telling It was. I could see members of the staff f?clng about their duties as coolly as If the whole thing was a sham fight. . "As soon as the Bctr fire slackened, our artillery, which had been beautifully served, trotted into town and posted themselves. They soon compelled the enemy to retire.. but yet they appeared like so many bees In groups on every place of vantage on the ridge which eklrts the town, while others were driven towards the coal fields. "Our guns continued to play on Smith's hill. As the shells burst, the Dutchmen could be seen scampering for cover. While our guns were to engaged the Hussars deployed on the left flank. Soon the cannonading ceased, and after five minutes sharp work ull was over. This may be put down as the flr?t battle of Dundee. "The battle was soon renewed with prreat vigor. At 7:3- a message arrived telling the camp that nine thousand Boers were marching on us with the intention of attacking our rear. A heavy mist which caps the surrounding hills obscures their approach, but they may be on us any hour. "The only known casualties on our side are the wounding of a trumpeter and drummer of the Sixty-ninth Battery." RHODES XOT AFRAID. AVI II Stay ut Klmherley nnd See the Tkinfc TlirouRh. LONDON, Oct. 22.-A special dispatch frcm Cipe Town states that a message has been received there from Klmberley stating that Cecil Rhodes has been urged to leave the town, but refuses to do bo, being determined to see the thing" through. A dispatch from Klmberley, dated Oct. 16. delayed in transmission, says: "Boers were observed to the northeast in considerable numbers to-day closing In on the town. The guard was called, alarm signals sounded everywhere, and the men rapidly proceeded to their stations. There was no sign of panic. A detachment of the cyclists ambulance corps at the sanltorlum and the

camp supplies have been removed there. A Dutchman who had been arrested lor instigating natives was killed by the English. "An armored train which was sent out, found the enemy still in their position, inspector Elliott, with thirty-eight mounted police, was sent to look for a force of twenty police which It was supposed had been cut off nar Rivertcn. Inspector Elliott's command approached the Boers, and a white flag was displaved, apparently with a view of communication with the police. The- latter stopped at a barbed fence, when suddenly bOO Boers spread out and attempted to hem them In. The police immediately retired in skirmishing order. The Boers opened fire but succeeded in hitting only one of the horses. Major Culllnan and Trooper Molton were taken prisoners. Major Culllnan fell from his horse and it la believed his wrist was broken. The remainder cf the force reached Klmberley In safety. "The waer works are in the hands of the Boers Who are devastating the country, burning stores and committing other depredations." A di?patch from Colesburg says a policeman galloped into the town saying that the Free State commando was coming from Norvaltf point, and the townspeople assembled to witness their entry. It proved, however, that the reported commando was only a party of refugees who for lack of train accommadatlons were obliged to walk the entire dlrtance. There are now altogether five hundred refugees at Colesburg, and all are well. -- SY3IOXS A FIXE SOLDIER.

Record of the British General Who Wan Wounded at Glencoe. Maj. Gen. William Penn Symons, who was wounded In the battle at Glencoe, has hada varied and eventful career, his life having been spent amid stirring scenes in all climates all over the world. lie is fiftyseven years old, but does not loo;c to be over forty. He has a well-built, active figure, is about middle height, has a face bright but hard-bitten, eyes keen and piercing. He has great natural aptitude for the command of men. His career well Illustrates the old raying that everything comes to him who waits. His promotion was very tardy. At the commencement of the Zulu war of 1S7S-9 he had but just become a captain, and was still at the bottom of the list when a single day, the dread day of the massacre of Isandlwhana, pushed him almost to the top. It was his good fortune to be on duty elsewhere when his comrades fell in heaps under the Zulu assegais. So, after spending twelve years as a subaltern, three carried him from captain to a major, and in six more he was a brevet colonel. Yet he had no great opportunity vou6hsafed him In this arduous Zulu campaign; at its end he was still a regimental officer, and he was awarded no special honors or distinctions. Not long after he was In the Madraa army and attracted the favorable attention of Its commander. Lord Roberts, by his persistence in trying to improve the marksmanship of his men. As assistant adjutant general for musketry he introduced many reforms which since have been adopted throughout the British service. Lord Roberts after this never lost sight of Symons, and henceforth his professional advancement was secure. When the last Burmese war was afoot in 1SS5 Symons went with the expedition, first as a staff officer, then as commandant of the mounted infantry. Symons's war services were continued in Burmah and beyond. He was a brigadier general with the Chin field force; he commanded the column from Burmah in the Chin Lushai expedition; he was in the Waziristan expedition, and quite recently he was actively engaged in the last hardfought, tedious campaign on the northwest frontier of India, at first with a brigade in the Tochi field force and then with a division in the Tirah expedition. He has been fighting almost continuously for the last fifteen years and Is a past master In the business of war, knowing every secret, every move. He has made a close study of the drill and tactics of the various arms, artillery, cavalry and infantry, and can handle them singly or in combination with great ekill. judgment and effect. Withal he is calm, clear-headed, resolute, prompt and vigorous in following up an advantage, tenacious and unyielding when hard pressed. Sir George White's regimental service was with the Gordons, the old Ninety-second Highlanders, although he is of Irish extraction. He was on the verge of retirement because of the age limit when Lord Roberts's Cabul campaign gave him his chance and his V. C. From that moment he made steady progress, was on Lord Wolseley's staff in the Sudan, had a brigade command In the last Burmese war,. was commander-in-chief In India, and then was Q. M. G. on the headquarters staff. Colonel Baden-Powell is a fighting soldier who has seen much service in South Africa. After the Zulu war he went to Malta, where he earned a reputation as a staff officer who was equal to any work. He was with the second Ashantee expedition, and was useful at the occupation of Coomassie. Then came the Mashonaland expedition. His own regiment is the Fifth Dragoon Guards, of which he is commanding officer. He has a keen eye for country, and a ready appreciation of what troops can do and how they can best be handled. It was In his position as chief of Sir F. Carrington's staff in Mashonaland that he gained that intimate knowledge of South Africa which will now be of inestimable value, for he was closely associated with the very men he will now command. His training has been such as to bring out his peculiar qualities of strength, self-reliance and tenacity of purpose. . AMERICAN CAPTURED. Eugene Eauton, a Correspondent, Taken Prisoner by the Doers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Eugene Easton, of Kansas City, Mo., a newspaper man. has been captured by the Boer forces In Soui Africa, and the State Department Is now In negotiation with the Transvaal authorities looking to his release. "Word of his capture came thi3 afternoon from Easton's father, Kev. Dr. J. A. Easton, of Tippecanoe City. O., who telegraphed Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis as follows: "Inform the government of Eugene's detention by Boers and secure his protection as a citizen. Wire me details." Mr. Davis called on Assistant Secretary of State Hill and. as n result tlons were sent to the American consuls at ' Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Cape Town to ' see that all rights of all American citizens 1 are promptly and fully protected, and for : investigation and special report on Easton's detention. It is believed Easton was one of a nartv of newsDaoer mn nhnard a cnotii train captured by the Boers several days ago. He was formerly Mr. Davis's private secretary. Two Reporters in Prison. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Oct. 21. Eugene Easton, who Is reported a prisoner of the Boer forces In South Africa, was formerly a reporter on the Kansas City Journal. At the outbreak of the Spanish war he went to Camp Alger as the Journal representative with the Third Musouri Volunteers, but shortly afterward became private secretary to Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior. He went to South Africa a few months since, accompanied by Kobert S. Winn, a young newspaper man, formerly employed here, but later an employe of a Philadelphia newspaper. It was their intention to work up a profitable corre?pondence in the event nf hostilities between tne Boers and England. Reports received her state that Winn also has been imprisoned by the Boers.

The victory of the British at Glencoe came as a vast surprise the numerous critics of the British army, who asserted that while Tommy Atkins might slaughter badly armed barbarians he was no match for a civilized enemy. Tho importance of the victory is fully recognized as exercising a decisive influence in the whole campaign. " Trnnnraal Specie Confiscated. DURBAN, Natal, Oct. IS. (Delayed In transmission.)

ish Beechuanaland protectorate, is attracting a part of the attention of the world. .... , In November, 1505. It waa at this place that Dr. Leander Starr Jameson, the redoubtable "Dr. Jim," mobilized the Bechuanaland border police and drilled them preparatory to the incursion into the territory of the South African Republic. W hile he was in Mafeking: preparing his. men and horses for he overland Journey Into tha Transvaal to assist the revolutionary party Jamc-scn received, through Major White, the following telegram, which afterward figured largely in the trial of the Jameson raiders: Tell Zahlbar (Jameson) ' the polo tournament here is postponed for one week, or It would clash with race week." The telegram was sent by Col. Rhodes, a brother of Cecil Rhodes, and was Intended to convey the information that Johannesburg was not prepared for the prearranged raid, which for evident reasons was called the "polo tournament." Jameson paid no heed to the telegram, cut the telegraph wires leading to Cape Town and London, and departed with his 512 raiders into the Transvaal, where General Cronje, the same roan who 19 now leading the Boer forces at Mafeking. put a sudden stop to the lncursion by killing and wounding half of Jameson's men. For several years prior to tho extension of the Cupe-to-Cairo Railway north from Klmbtrley the town of Mafeking was a provisioning station for the hunters and erospectors entering the then almost unnown regions in the interior. The town's nearest neighbor was Vryburg. the capital of Bechuanaland, a hundred miles to the south. Like ail the new towns In South Africa. Mafeking was a "sheet-Iron town," so named on account of the vtst amount of that material used in its construction. The solitary hotel waa made of sheet Iron throughout: its tables, chairs and bar were of sheet iron, and the traveler was obliged to sleep in a bed of the same material. Children were rocked to sleep In sheet iron cradles, and whenever there waa a death the corpse was inclosed in a sheet Iron coffin. ' . After the railway was extended to Mafeking. three years ago, Mafeking naturally became of more importance and it grew in population from about two hundred to six hundred. The railway was foon extended farther into the interior, and then Mafeking became a. way station of little importance, as it remains to-day. The Cape Colony government has several insignificant public buildings In the town, and for the fast two years a part of the Bechuanaland border police have had their barracks and headquarters there.

The railroad bridge at this point Is carried away with almost every fiood. Buurman's drift, which the dlspatches say is held by the Boers, is a fording place In the Molopo about a mile cast of tha town and of great strategic importance to Cronje for the reason that he can prevent reinforcements reaching the English! forces from the north, the railway bridge having been destroyed.
