THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1899.

A eal of Interest among the officials to whom It has been exhibited. The President hlmeclf has read the report, his Interest being particularly attracted by the disclosure of the fact that the flrat American governor of the Inland has been obliged to adopt fceroic measures to Insure a proper administration of affairs there- Captain Leary eccn learned that his authority as governor was being subverted and everyone of the measures of reform which he proposed was ttlag defeated by the hostile influence of the friars. They resisted every decree, r.o .matter of what'eharacter, from a iplrlt of Intense conservatism and a belief that any clsturbance of the order of things which had governed the island for so many years would causc them to lose their hold upon the natives. After exhausting all other mean3 to overcome this influence Captain Leary reports that he was obliged to notify half a dozen of the friars that they ml;;ht have free transportation away from Guam, and he should expect them to avail themselves of the offr. That left but one friar cn tho Island. was a man whose character and reputation was such as to convince Captain Leary of his fitnesa to remain.

Recent mall advices from ManllA show the existence of much uneasiness among the Chinese residents of the city and suburbs, due to repeated riotous conflicts between the native Filipinos anj the Chinese.

Tho transportation quartermaster xJJschargtd anrno two hundred Chinese and filled thVlr places with Filipinos, most of them Maeabcbes. brought from the interior. The discharge of the Chinese is said to be lue to th!r unwillingness to be shifted to various points where the emergency work was to be done. In the suburbs of Binondo a party of Chinese was attacked by native Jadrones and a pitched battle ensued, one of the Chinese being killed end several others wounded. Emergency Rations.

Oct. 30.-Slr Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and the London Lyceum Company gave at the Knickerbocker Theater to-night the first American presentation of Sardou's "Robespierre," as It has been rendered into EnglLsh by Laurence Irving, son of the distinguished actor, and himself a member of the Lyceuai company. The stage setting of the play was equal to anything that has be?n done in this country under blr Henry Irvlng's management, and was wellnlght perfect in detail. Particularly impressive were a scene in the courtyard of the prison of Port Libre, filled with people awaiting the guillotine, and that one which represented the lete of the Supreme Being. The play introduces Robespierre. Just after he has attained the summit of his power, after Danton and Marat have fallen, and when the clouds are beginning to gather that in the end break upon and overwhelm the man who has shed the blood of thousands of his fellows with demoniacal Indifference. The part played by Miss Terry Is that of Clarlsse de Malucon, the mother of Robespierre's son. Olivier, played exceedingly well by Harry S. Stanford. In the development of the story of the drama, mother, ton and father are Involved in the final catastrophe, the son being made the tool of the enemies of the dictator and led Into an attempt to assassinate his father, without, however, being aware of the relationship. A scene that in less artistic hands than those- of Sir Henry Irving might have approximated an anticlimax, was the one In tho fourth act. In which Robespierre, vlsit ing the Conciergerie prison yard in search of his son, is overcome with the horror of the situation, and, in awaking from a trance, beholds a vision of those whom he has sent to the guillotine and who follow him with ghostly eyes and lingers, denouncing h'm as a murderer. In this scene Sir Henry was probably at his greatest of the evening, thoug In the final fcene where, wounded by his son, he is led awiy to the place of execution, he maintained Ms hold upon his audience in a way that thrilled them to the very marrow. The audience was one o! the best that ev?r assembled within the walls of a New York theater, and Its appreciation of Sir TIenry'3 acting and that of Miss Terry and the Lyceum company, as a whole, was u:45ilmlr.gly manifested. DEATH OF YOUNG BERKELEY. It Slay De Followed hy Legal Attempt at Punishment. GENEVA. N. Y-. Oct. 30.

It is reported from Pretoria that two hundred of the British wounded from Dundee have arrived there and have been furnished accommodation in the state school building. AX EYEWITNESS'S ACCOUNT. Story of the Battle as Told by a War Correspondent. LONDON, Oct. 31. The war correspondent of the Standard with the British force at Ladysmlth, telegraphing as to Monday's engagement, says: "During the opening stages of the fight I attached myself to the center column. We marched out before dawn, and after covering three miles halted under a kopje to await developments. In the attack on the right the first shot was fired at 5:20 a. m.- It came from Lombard's kop, a lofty eminence rising some five miles to the east of Ladysmlth. "Battery after battery went into action, and gradually the enemy's fire slackened. For nearly two hours not a shot of ours was returned, gave when 'Long Tom,' the name our soldiers has given to the Boer fcrtypounder, hurled a shell, which we followed with anxious eyes toward the town of Ladysmith. Presently the enemy's horsemen were seen streaming on a hill to our left. Sheltered by rising ground, they opened from a ridge on our left flank, and there hidden by the scrub and trees,, they could watch the turn of events in safety and await their chance. t "The Devonshires now advanced toward Kaffir kraal, under a hillock, and there they remained, with orders not to fire a shot until they were called upon. Only when volleys were heard on their rear and flank did they show the least sign of restlessness. The sound of this firing, feeble though it seemed, satisfied us that the Gloucesters and Irish Fuslleers were at work, and that there was no truth in the story of a disaster to these battalions after tho stampede of the mountain battery mules. "Sir George White, Sir Archibald Hunter and the staff officers watched the development of the artillery attack which gave the first promise of a realization of General White's plans. Soon after 3 o'clock, messengers bejr.n to arrive with news that the right column needed support. The" first battalion of the Gordon Highlanders, then the Manchester regiment and then the rifle brigade, who had left the train for the

battlefield, were cent to its assistance, until only the Devonshire regiment, a squadron of mounted Infantry, and the field hospital, were left with the center column. "Perecivlng that a change in the operations was in progress, I went with the Manchester regiment toward the right. Our artillery, under. Lombard's kop, was engaged in repelling the enemy's attempt to turn our flank. The Manchesters were sent forward to support the cavalry, while the Dublin Fuslleers, two battalions of the Sixtieth Rifles, the Liverpool regiment and the Leicestershires were beginning to feel the effects of the enemy's searching rifle fire. "The enemy rarely showed themselves, although along the ridges they lay fceyond the range of our guns, they from time to time gave us opportunity to judge of their numbers. "At the height of the engagement the noise was almost deafening. Above the rattle of the musketry could be heard the thud of tho Maxim guns and the banging of the quick-firing guns, which considerably added to the difficulties our men had to encounter. The purpose of the reconnoissance had, however, been gallantry achieved and our infantry began to fall back. "This movement was covered by cavalry. Some of the troops had to cross over open ground toward the center, and while doing so they were raked with a heavy fire. The retirement, however, was effected without disorder or serious loss. Our batteries were got into position to secure the withdrawal of other arms from Mole station, but the fortunate destruction of the enemy's ions Tom rendered such services unnecessary."

RETIRED WITH GREAT SKILL. Sir Archibald Hunter Successful In Covering: the Retreat. - LONDON, Oot. 31. Mr. Steevens, the war correspondent of the Daily Mail, describing the engagement at Ladysmlth, says: "By 10 o'clock the British had driven the Boers back several miles, when the retirement waa ordered, which Sir Archibald Hunter conducted with great skill, retiring battalion by battalion, covering the movement with the guns of their artillery by alternate batteries. The Boer artillery, field, quick-firing and siege guns immediately opened a heavy fire all around, showing their knowledge of war by aiming at the guns and wagons as they retired. Little damage was done, however, and our operations were quite unflurrled. "At the end of the action a bearer company advanced under a Red Cross flag to seek the wounded and was fired on by the Boers, apparently through a misapprehension or because of want of discipline, since the fire soon ceased. In the meantime the native doolee bearers ' continued their advance, their cool bravery being most praiseworthy. All the troops retired in safety and pickets were left on the field." Except a vague reference in the Standard, none of the special dispatches make mention of the two missing battalions, statements regarding them evidently having been excised by the censor. ; A, BRITISH REPULSE. Sallied from Mafeklna; and Attacked Boers with Bayonets. LORENZO MARQUEZ, Delagoa Bay, Oft. 30. A dispatch received here to-day from Pretoria, under date of Oct. 23, says General Cronje, the Boer commander, announced there that, the British garrison at Mafeklng made a bayonet attack on Commandant Louw's laager near Grand Stand, but were repulsed, leaving six dead on the field, and it was believed that many of the attacking party were wounded. The dispatch adds that on Saturday morning Col. Baden-Powell asked for an armistice in order to bury the dead. General Cronje consented to this, the Boers assisting in placing the dead in the wagon going to Mafeklng. A special dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez says, a strong force of Portuguese troops has arrived on the Transvaal border from Mozambique territory owing to fears regarding the hostilities between the British and Boers, Mafeklue and Klmberley Holding Out LONDON, Oct. 30. The latest news from the western border has apparently reassured the British authorities as to the ability of Mafeklng and Kimberley to withstand assault A dispatch from Fort Tull, forwarded during the evening of Oct. 24, announces that Blackburn's force, in the skirmish at Rhodes Drift, killed twelve Boers. A Kaffir dispatch reported that many more Boers were lying in the drift dying. Blackburn died from his wounds on returning to Fort Tull. Scouts there report that the Boer3 are concentrating strongly on the Rhodeslan border with Maxims. A War Offi:e dispatch from Cape Town, dated Oct. 26, says: "An armored train under Llewellyn got wi'hin 1.100 yards of the Boer laager, three. miles south of Crocodile pool. The Boers had driven in their horses on the approach of the train. Three Maxim belts were discharged into the Boers, who must havj had considerable loss. They returned ten shots without effect. Colonel ) Plumer's outpost has had several skirmishes cn the Crocodile river." Frcm later advices It was learned that the Uewsllyn train returned to MochudI, 100 miles north of Mafeklng. Llewellyn reports all quiet. A Railway Around Mafeklnsr. LONDON, Oct. 31. The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mall says he learns that Col. Baden-Powell, British commandef at Mafeklng, has laid a railway in a complete circle around Mafeklng and is running armored trains around the town, ready to meet the Boers at any point. . . MONEY FOR A HOSPITAL SHIP. Americans Contributing Liberally to the Care of Wounded. LONDON. Oct. 30. Lady Randolph Churchill presided this afternoon at a meeting of the committee of the American fund being raised to send a hospital ship tor the use of the wounded soldiers in Sou;h Africa. It was announced that Frederick Gardiner and John Hays Hammond, the A merican engineer, had contributed 1,000 each to the fund. The fund has already reached 5,320. Offers of medical stores and professional services pour In from all points In the greatest profusion. The War Office will grant to the American ladles exceptional privileges in promoting their project, even going so far as to accept American surgeons, nurses and orderlies, the latter to act as "aids to the nurses. The only stipulation is the head of each department shall be a British soldier. The minimum equipment fixed by the War Office is four surgeons, five head nurses and forty noncommissioned officers and orderlies. It U quite possible that this will be materially Increased and the American Red Gross Society will undoubtedly be called on to select many of these officials. It is expected the Maine will be ready to sail In about three weeks, fully equipped to.

The secretary of state for the colonies. Joseph Chamberlain, has received a cable dispatch from the Governor of New South wales. Earl Beauchamp. conveying a message from the Colonial Cabinet and a representative meeting of citizens, assuring her Jefty. of thc Rueful appreciation inspired by her message of encouragement to the New South Wales contingent on its recent departure to South Africa. The message concludes by declaring that "This colony will always be ready to share the duties and responsibilities of her. Majesty's empire." Tne Second Battalion of the Duke of Cor,nwairs HKht infantry. Lieutenant Colonel Aldworth commanding, now stationed at Devonport, has been ordered to South Africa. The Daily Mail, referring to an offer made through Mr. lliran Maxim from two hundred American gentlemen, who propose to give 250 each and provide their own horses and equipment, tendering their services to the British in South Africa, says: "Of course this offer cannot be accepted, but it is not the less gratifying of the proof of the good will of our American cousins." GERMANY IS NEUTRAL. Comments on Emperor William's Message to the Royal Dragoons. BERLIN, Oct. 30. Emperor William's farewell address to the British Royal Dragoons, of which regiment he is honorary colonel, on their departure for South Africa expressing his Majesty's hope that ail might return "unscathed and well" is generally taken as a proof of Germany's official neutrality. One of the evening papers, referring to the dispatch, points o,ut its high political significance and says it is the best answer tot "Pan-Germanic leagues, Anglophobia and predictions of foreign intervention in which Germany is to play a leading part." The Boersen Courier says: "The repeated foreign efr'oris to inveigle Germany into interfering in a question absolutely foreign to her national interests have palpably the sole object of discrediting her policy. Germany declines the roie of acting manager in foreign interests detrimental to her own." Dutch Spies at Work. LONDON. Oct. 31. According to a dispatch to the Dally Mail from Durban, It has been ascertained that the Natal Dutch have been actively assisting the Boers by carrying information regarding the British movement. It seems that altnough the landings and departures of the troops are effected by night and the greatest secrecy Is maintained, yet the enemy somehow gets information, despite the severe censorship. It is also believed In Durban that the Dutch have assisted the Boers by pointing out British officers in the battle.

Over twenty-nine miles of the Atlantic ocean, over housetops, church spires, towering office buildings, the Marconi electrical ripples successfully carried and dropped messages between two moving warships to-day. The naval test at sea proved that within a radius of twentyone miles messages can be transmitted by wireless telegraphy with all the accuracy and precision of an ordinary land line. It also proved that hills, high buildings, wires and .wind currents do not break the force ofthe electrical waves and do not Interfere in the slightest degree with the transmission of messages. By prearrangement operations on board the New York were conducted by Marconi himself. One of his assistants, named Bradtlcld, operated the instrument of the Massachusetts, while Telegrapher Bowden, another Marconi expert, was stationed In the lighthouse on tne highlands of Navesink. From the Marconi transmitter on the lower floor of the lighthouse annex the wire was carried througn the window up the tall flagstaff and up a sort of topmast, making its total height above the ground about 1' feet. Through the hatchways of the two warships the wires were extended to the same height. Tne message which the New York, as she rassed down the North river, sent to the Massachusetts, lying at her anchorage at Thirty-fifth street, was read plainly In dots and dashes at Navesfink. nineteen miles away. It read: "Follow us down at 1 p. m." This message was the overture to the telegraph-testing programme, which Included about seventy-five messages, all of which had ben prepared by the Naval Board and were especially difficult. Every live minutes during her course down the river the New York telegraphed over the constantly increasing distance to the Massachusetts and the battle ship 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 Blish, the naval representative at the lighthouse. It was during the voyage down the river that an official teat for interference" was made. Without any warning to Marconi the operator atNavesink. at the direction of Lieutenant Blish, sent several messages in quick succession to the flagship. The result was a message from the Massachusetts to the New York: "Navesink has successfully interfered." A few minutes later the lighthouse caught Marconi's explanation that one of the ground wired on the New York had not been secured properly, which allowed the etray message to break in on the conversation between the two warships. It was a long time after the telegraphing began before either of the warships vus visible from the lighthouse. Without a wire, without anyapparent connection. oessa;es kept dropping out of irpace cs it M-ine supernatural power were hurling them down from tho clouds. The last Intelligible message from the Massachusetts was t-ent when she was eighteen mils from tho New York. Delia Fox Im pro vino. NEW YORK.
