Ore Rich In Ciold nnd Silver Found on the Inland of Lnion, DEADWOOD. S. D.. Oct. "-Evidences: of the richness of the Philippine Islands In precious metals have been shown In the Black hill towns slnc the return of the three volunteer compinles which served a year in the islands. Many of the Black hills bys have had practical experience in mining for gold and silver ores, and they were watchful in the- Philippines for indication of ore deposits. Captain Faul McClelland, of Company I, has brought back from Manila a piece of bamboo, corked at each end. which contains a very rich piece of decomposed silver ore. Captain McClelland formed the acquaintance of an old native, who said the rich specimen came from a wide ledge, stepping ofT a distance of about one hundred feet when he told the captain the width of It. The sample of ore is nearly half silver. The ledge, the native stated. Is about ten miles from Manila. Many of the natives have learned something of the value of the ore veins of the country, having seen some of the mining 5one by the Spanish. Pieces of rich gold quartz ore were given the Black hills boys by the natives, which came from Luzon, and the ore resembles very closely the rich free milling veins of the Black hills. Chunks of gold ore have been exhibited on the streets of Deadwood by some of the returned soldiers, which bristled with gold threads, flakes and nuggets, and It would be taken for Black hills ore by the most experienced minim? men. Many of the Black hills boys have remained In the Philippines for the purpose of being on the ground ready for the gold field as soon as order is restored in the islands. Several outfits have been organized, which are already in the gold field around Manila. Some of the returning soldiers have small bottles of placer gold which they panned out of the creeks and larger streams of water with common pans. There seems to be large quantities of black sand, which is full of bright yellow gold, easily panned and believed by the Black hills men to be In great quantities. Col. Dort' Ilrgimrnt. ST. PAUL.

The Chicago branch of the Comptolr National d'Escompte de Paris, the Bank of France, has been discontinued because of trie uncertainty In tho

amount the bank Js to pay In local taxes annually. The board of assessors placed a valuation of $200,000 on the bank's personal property, and the board of review refused to decrease this amount. The managers felt that the figures were excessive, and this, with the doubt as to what next year's action of the tax board might be, caused the decision to close the bank. The business of the Institution is being settled with the prospective departure of the agent by Jan. 1. RESCUED AT SEA.

The order was obeyed quickly and one of the robbers started for the money drawer. Kuchs and Brown, the latter a son of the postmaster at Doniphan, made a move to resist. Two pistols In the hands of the robbers cracked Instantly. Brown fell dead where he stood and Kuchs winced from a wound in his arm. This was a signal to flee, and the store was cleared In. an Instant, while the robbers hurriedly emptied the till and made off. A party made up of Atchison and Doniphan men, heavily armed, started out this morning In search of the robbers. Late this afternoon, six miles north of Atchison, they camo upon the robbers unawares, the latter firing upon them from ambush. . Robert Dlckerson, an Atchison police officer, was shot 'and killed at the first volley, and before a successful rally could be made by the pursuers James Hayes fell with a bullet In his arm. The robbers were hidden from view, and the peste, at a disadvantage in the growing darkness, was compelled to withdraw after firing a few ineffectual shots. The robbers had duplicated their work of the night before, and again escaped unhurt. To-night they are hiding behind a barricade of logs, with the posse keeping a respectful 'distance. At daybreak a determined effort will be made to capture the robbers. They are surrounded, and it will be almost Impossible for them to escape.

NO CONTEST NEXT YEAR

Sill THOMAS LIPTOV, IIOWKVEH, AY ILL CHALLENGE IX 1001. Time Too Short to Denitfti and Construct n . New Vnclit CtluiiilI Proponed Trio Abroad. NEW YORK, Oct. 22. Sir Thomas Llpton spent to-day on hoard his Fteam yacht Erin. During the greater part of the morning he was busy with his secretaries, but In the afternoon he took a rest. He saw a few visitors, although hundreds of small boats floated around the big yacht. Some of the most venturesome went up to the gangway and ssnt cards on board. The owner of the unsuccessful cup-hunter talked freely to a reporter and chatted for more than an hour about his plans for the future. "I shall not challenge for the cup next year," he said, in reply to a query "You see, the time Is all too short to design a boat, build her and have her tuned up to concert pitch to race next fall. I shall, however, Issue a challenge for 1901, and shall complete the arrangements for it In a day or two. The matter must be discussed fully with the committee of the New Ycrk Yacht Club. I have accepted Commodore Morgan's invitation to dine to-morrow night at the Metropolitan Club. I expect to meet Mr. Iselln and the members of the committee there, and we shall doubtless talk the matter over then.' "Will Fife design the new boat?" "Most assuredly he will, but In his present state I do not care to approach him on the subject. There will be plenty of time for that, however, after the challenge is Issued. My new boat must be between fifteen and twenty minutes faster than the Shamrock, and she must be an Improvement on the Columbia, which means almost a miracle, for she Is a marvelous boat. If any other yachtsmen want to challenge for the cup I shall willingly step aside, but in any event I shall stand willing to give every assistance In my power to the man who tries to lift the cup. The Shamrock and my crew will be at his disposal, so that he can have a trial horse whose powers are known. If my challenge Is the one accepted 1 shall have the Shamrock In commission, and will use her in tuning up the new boat." Sir Thomas commented on tne proposed trip of the Columbia abroad, saying: "If she were my boat I should take her across at once, and you can take my word for it she would sweep everything before her. I sincerely hope she will cros the Atlantic if for no other purpose than to show them over there what a Yankee yacht is like. Believe me. it will teach them something. I can assure Commodore Morgan and Mr. Iselln that they will be cordially welcomed, and we shall have plenty of cups for them to race for. If the Columbia races in English waters I shall certainly put the Shamrock against her. "The Shamrock will be fitted with her small yawl rig at once; in fact, the work of preparing her for sea will begin early to-morrow morning. She will be ready by a week from Tuesday, which time 1 have fixed for her and the Erin to start on the return voyage. I shall then feel free and shall sail the next day on the American liner St. Louis. -I want to see the Shamrock safely off before I start. "I want to say again that I have been treated with the utmost courtesy by every one that 1 have met. Never for a moment have the yachtsmen here made me feel otherwise than perfectly at home. I have failed to win your cup. but I proved what I said before 1 sailed for it, that any yachtsman who oame for the cup would have only fair opportunity to win it. I am deeply touched at the srIrlt shown by you Americans in arranging for that loving cup for me. I shall prize it above all things. It fhosvs that my estimate of the American character is not wrong. I am at liberty to say now that the vild guesses as to what Shamrock cost were all of them far out. The cost of the brat alone as she is now, without considering ihe expense of crew or anything else is about Sir Thomas has received, hundreds of letters from admirers all over the country expressing sympathy with, htm In defeat.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 22. A special to the Commercial Appeal from St. Ann's, Leak county, Mississippi, says it was reported there last night and also at Carthage that John Oliver Gray. had been captured and lynched. It was also reported that he made a confession, charging that two white men were concerned In the murder of the Gambrell family. This is a mistake, but when one is here It Is easy to see how such mistakes may ba made. The country- is . not thickly settled and the distances are far. Everyone has been excited, and what at first Is gossip gains strength from repetition. John Oliver Gray was captured, but he is now in jail at Carthage. He swears that he is Innocent of any connection with the brutal murder. He was caught in the swamps after many shots were fired at him. Robert Smith is also In Jail at Carthage, and, as previously reported, the negro is badly burned. He protests his innocence. Excitement . continues at fever heat and everything Is being done to ferret out the accomplices of Le Flore in the wholesale murder. SIBERIA'S GREAT ROAD. Russia' Effort to Make Travel Attractive There. London Letter. A gentleman who has Just been one of a party making a trip over the Transsiberian Railroad says that what most astonishes every one traveling through the country through which the road passes is the measures the Russian government has taken to make the traveler forget that he is Journeying through a country that has always been looked upon as little removed from the savage stale. "The stations along the way," said the gentleman, "are of a strikingly picturesque appearance, no two being alike, and beautiful, bright flowers are disposed about them with the art of a professional land,?capl9t. Each station has all the conveniences dear to the traveler, and a diningroom that, for appointment and excellence of cuisine, would do credit to any station In London. Fifty cents is the very modest cum asked for what Is really an admirable dinner, at which one may help himself to an abundance of game, poultry, beef, sturgeon, all cooked to a turn and served with sauces calculated to quicken the most indifferent appetite. Just yet the traveler la spared the greatest of continental nuisances that of tipping, but it is too good to believe this pleasing state of affairs will continue to exlet. The cars are remarkably comfortable, and built after the most approved models us-ed In other countries, and there Is a politeness and consideration for one's wishes and cemfort that Is as pleading at is was unexpected In this far-off country." The gentleman continued that the travel and trafflc of the road has far exceeded anything the government had believed possible in so short a time, and says that corps of workmen are already engaged in improving and remedying various defects, with a view to perfecting the road putting In better ballast, heavier rails and wherever possible making curves give way to straight road. "With the completion of this read a new era will dawn for Siberia," continued the gentleman, "and. reports to the contrary. Czar Nicholas seems keenly alive to the possibilities of his great realm." MILKS'S IDEA. Letter to Toral Originated .Neither With Shafter -or Chadurlck. Philadelphia Times. In point of fact neither Rear Admiral Gampson nor General Shafter has given the whole truth as to the demand made by Shatter for the surrender of the Spanish army. We doubt not that Sampson has given the statement as he has reason to believe it to be true, but Shafter cannot present the whole truth and clearly refute the statements made by Captain Chadwlck, for the rcaron that neither Chadwlck nor Shafter Is entitled to the credit of having conceived the plan of demanding the surrender of the fcJpanlsh army, and the man who s fully entitled to Ue credit of that movement has been

studiously denied Just recognition by both sides to the Sampson-Shafter dispute. After Shafter had fought his first and only important battle in front of Santiago he regarded himself as defeated, and telegraphed the government that he would retreat his army4 some five miles from its position and await reinforcements. Had he done so. disease would have practically destroyed his army within a fortnight, but the government at Washington, realizing the unfortunate position Jn which the army was placed by an obviously incompetent commander, called In General Miles and after consultation he was ordered to proceed in person to Santiago with reinforcements. At that consultation Miles suggested that Shafter be Instructed not to retreat, but to hold his position and to send a peremptory demand to the Spanish commander for the surrender of his army, giving him three days' time to consider It before bombardment began, on the assumption that he would be compelled to confer with the government of Spain. General Shafter was instructed from Washington to make the demand, and the conception of the demand for the surrender cf the Spanish army cannot be credited to either Shafter or Chadwlck. ' Conditions strongly favored the serious entertainment of the demand for the surrender of the Spanish army by Its commander, as the Spanish fleet was destroyed and the helpless condition of our army was unknown. Delay was gained under the truce until General Miles reached Shafter's headquarters, and from the time he arrived there until the surrender was consummated order had taken the place of chaos. Intelligence and heroism had supplanted Ignorance and fear, and the surrender was accomplished because the Spanish commander believed our army to be Invincible. If Shafter could tell the whole truth he could successfully refute the pretensions of Chadwlck. but as he cannot tell the whole truth he will be compelled to leave the question between Sampson and Chadwlck on one side and himself on the other, an open one to be the plaything of controversy In the strife that is always common among men who have to fight xfor their laurels after great battles have been won by others. WAR ON THE BORDER.

Fight Between Texan Cowboys and Mexicans Several Killed. EL PASO, Tex.. Oct. 22. War between Americans and Mexicans broke out again this afternoon at Naco, Ariz., with disastrous results. Naco lies partly In Mexico and partly In the United States and has a mixed population. Bad blood has existed between the American and Mexican officials since the recent disturbances wherein a party of cowboys rescued one of their number from the Jail across the border. A dispatch from Bisbee says: "This afternoon, Just as a baseball excursion from Birbeewas about to leave Naco, Mexico, a fight started between Mexican guards and American cowboys, and a a result four Mexican guards were killed, and one seriously wounded. An American named Ryan was instantly killed, and a Blsbee miner was shot through the leg. The fight resulted from a row on the Mexican Fide. The guards attempted to arrest the Amer,. leans, who retreated towards the line. Just before they reached the lino the guards opened fire, which was promptly returned. A lively battle occurred lasting fully five minutes. Over fifty shots were exchanged. Cowboys from this side rushed to the aid of their friends and opened fire across the line. Dan Burgess, a bystander, was shot in the leg and Ryan, a freighter, was riddled with bullets. Montgomery, who was with Ryan, Is missing. One cowboy, Joe Rhodes, was arrested and placed In Jail on the Mexican fide of the line. Excitement Is Intense and a posse is forming to rescue him. BRYAN MUST BE SCARED.

HOTEL AND OTHER III ILDINGS BlitNED AT SOIT1I CHICAGO. Forty Gnests Aroused by the Police Rarely In Time to Europe with Their Uvea Cat Cremated. CHICAGO, Oct. 22. A business block In South Chicago was burned early to-day, entailing a loss of $120,000 and painfully Injuring twelve persons. Fourteen buildings were burned. An old landmark was destroyed In the burning of the Grand Central Hotel. It was a frame building and burned rapidly. The guests had barely time to save themselves, and fled for safety with but little apparel. The persons who were injured received burns or sprains and bruises. The fire originated In the barn In the rear of Peter Hason's saloon and spread both east and west. The Grand Central Hotel was one of the first buildings to go. Nearly all the property was Insured. Among the injured are: Fire Lieutenant Robert. Ambrose, hand and face burned, internal 'injuries feared; Fire Lieutenant William Crotty, hands and face severely burned: Rc-bert Drew, fireman, face slightly burned; Charles E. Crandall, right hand and face burned; Arthur Bacon, ankle sprained; 11. E. Robinson, fireman, hair singed, face and hands burred; Mrs. Harry Elsblnse, guest at Grand Central, hands lacerated and bruised; A. P.

The largest losses are: Grand Central Hotel, Hyat & Bradley, owners, loss $15,000; brick building, formerly Liberty Hall, John Fink, owner, loss J2l,0u0. The hotel burned was a five-story frame, and nothing but prompt action of the police prevented many of the forty hotel guests from perishing in the fire. When the alarm was turned In the southwest corner of the hotel was ablaze. Officers aroused the proprietors, who slept on the first floor. Together with the others they hurried through the different floors and corridors, pounding on the doors, awakening the occupants. A scene of the wildest confusion ensued. Many escaped down the stairway, wearing only their night clothing. Thieves made their appearance during the nroeress of the fire. and. taking advantage of the excitement, operated extensively, it. is thought. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mrs. W. E. Colburn, vice president of the Beresford Cat Club, lot thirty-five prize Angora cats, which were in cages in the yard of her home. Lons of $ lOO.OOO. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.

D. Shoyer & Co., commission merchants: M E. Schoening. dealer in musical instruments: Selchow k Rlchter, Jobbers in toys and W. Schwenzon, cords and tassels. The fire originated in the baser ment of the building, but its cause as yet unknown. Card Factory Uamnged. LOWELL, Mass. Oct. 22. The upper stories of the large frame building of the American Card Company, in the business section, were burned to-night. Loss, 50,OW). BOERS DEFEATED AGAIN. (Concluded from First Fage.) but the return fire did little damage. The enemy kept .up an incessant shooting, but our shrapnel began to tell its tale, with the result that the Boer fire visibly slackened. From a ceaseless rattle the rifle fire dwindled to straggling shots. "A corporal of the Dublin Fuslleers was carried past me to the rear on a stretcher. Major Davidson, of the Irish Fuslleers, was shot, through both legs, and Color Sergeant Anderson, of the Dublin Fuslleers, was brought In wounded in the right shoulder. "The artillery In front was shelling the hill and the King's Royal Rifles, on the right front, were busy with the Maxims, making the Boers anxious about their position. Their artillery had been silenced by the splendid service of ours. "Meanwhile a squadron of the Eighteenth Hussars and a mounted company of the Dublin Fuslleers were creeping around on the enemy's left flank, while another squadron of the Hussars and a mounted company of the King's Royal Rifles deployed to the right flank at the cornfields. A COSTLY MANEUVER. "The artillery continued to p,'ay on Smith's hill with a range of rfearly 3,030 yards. Under Its cover the Dublin Fuslleers and the King's Royal Rifles pressed forward. It was In the execution of this maneuver that the casualties to our Infantry occurred, several men being killed or wounded. . "The firing now eased off on our side and only a solitary shot was returned now and then. General Symons, taking advantage of this lull, ro-ile forward with his staff in front of the guns, taking cover at the rear of the plantation, near the base of the bill. All this time our infantry, In extended formation, had gradually pressed forward, watching the Boers from the rear of the artillery and massing on the extreme left of the hill. I saw three shells in succession cut some to pieces and drive others away. The Boer fire was becoming hot, but tho first battalion of the King's Royal Rifles and the Irish Fuslleers, led respectively by Colonel Gunning and Colonel Carlton, continued to mount the hill. Gradually they extended along the ridge, and at 10 o'clock, after four and a half hours of artillery firing to screen them, they managed to reach a wall, running parallel with the ridge, about G0& yards from the summit. This position was gained under cover of some magnificent shooting by our artillerymen, who placed shells at points where the Boers were massed with amazing accuracy, compelling them to retire, but not for long. On again the determined enemy would come, only to be beaten back again by the excellent shooting of the Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth Batteries under Major Dawklns and Major King. "At 11:43 a. m. the firing had almost ceased, and cur Infantry were over the wall in a twinkling and rushing toward the plateau at the base of ' the top or secondary ridge. The defense made by the Boers was most determined, the enemy again and again pouring a long fusillade fire Into tho British ranks, which was hotly returned In well-directed volleys by the slowly advancing Dublin Fuslleers and King's Royal Rifles. ROUTED FROM A CATTLE KRAAL. "A large body of Boers, driven from Smith's hill, took refuge in a cattle kraal, intending a cross fire. The Thirteenth Battery opened fire, however, and poured In such a bail of bullets as caused them speedily to shift their position. "Thus far the enemy have displayed undoubted courage, perhaps unequaled by the best European troops. They had stood up to our scattering artillery fire with the greatest determination and then, on Talana ridge, standing clearly out on the sky line they still appeared unbeaten and defiant. The battle had now raged six and a half hours, when the Sixty-ninth Battery was ordered to limber up and advance. The battery galloped Into a new position In splendid form and was in action at the front In a moment. "So effective was the apparent result of this close range firing that the Thirteenth Battery was at once ordered up. and aftr two rounds from each battery, perfect silence reigned over the enemy's front, broken only by the whirring of the Maxims, served by the Dublin Fuslleers, who had ce-

During a momentary cessation the Boers bad taken tip a intuition on a hill to the right of the road leading to Malma colliery, but the Thirteenth Battery soon opened lire on them and compelled them to retire. "Meanwhile tho two infantry battalions continued to climb the hill and, at 1:30 o'clock, after eight hours of desperate righting, the position was carried, .the Boers having precipitately evactuated the bill. Thus what had cwnmencod with a battle at Dundee endedln a glorious victory for British arms at what mu.t be known as the battls of Talana hill. "Just as the King's Royal Itifles and thm DubMn Fuslleers gained the hill top th mounted Infantry could be Feen ' working; around the left flank of the Boer position and actually getting In their rear 'without any attempt on the part of the enemy to check the movement, while the bulk of the mounted volunteers, well hidden in the plantation to the right, were ready to fall upon the retreating enemy In that direction when the moment came. CHARGED UP THE HILL. "Finally our batteries ceased their murderous Are and the Infantry charged up the rocky heights still separating them from the enemy and reached the summits of both peaks of Smith's hill and of the nek between without a check or halt. It was gallant work on both sides and scores of men fell within a distance of a couple of hundred yards, but the situation soon became too hot for the Boers, who broke and fled for their horses, which they had left at the foot of the hills on the northeast. There, however, they were received with a fusillade from the Hussars, who had captured or stampeded all the horses. "The enemy swerved in their line or retreat. Some surrendered there and -then; others made for Hattingsprult, while some moved towards Landman's drift. All who fled were closely pursued by our cavalry and a field battery. But It seems prettj" clear that when the main fight was drawing to a close part, at least, of the Dannhauser contingent, under Commandant Erasmus, came upon the ground, as well as an attachment from the Free State contingent, which had nde a forced march from the south. . "The chief portion of the Free State troops, however, remained, it appears, la a strong position at Blggarsberg, whence It will be necessary to dislodge them if they should wait for our attack, which. In the circumstances, Is not thought probable. "All the Hussar squadrons except one have returned and the whereabouts of that one is knownT so that there la no cauie for anxiety. Severe punishment has been Inflicted upon the retreating Boers." . Lieut. Gullonay a Prlaoner. LONDON. 0:t. 23.
