The Philippine island War. General Lawton is striking a terrific blow at the Luzon insurrection. His column has not been heard from in several days, but is believed to be pursuing the insurgent leader and his1 frail government through morass and jungle into the mountains of Northern Luzon. Tales of the hardship endured by Lawton’s hardy column are reaching Manila. The troops are half naked, many being reduced almost to breech clouts. Hundreds are barefoot. The sick are left where they fall, unattended. They subsist on what the country affords. There is a divergence of opinion in Manila official circles as to whether Aguinaldo has eluded his American pursuers. There is no information to the effect that Lawton and Wheaton have united. The cruiser Baltimore is on a mysterious mission to the Gulf of Lingayen. It is believed that American prisoners, captured by the Filipinos, will be brought back by this vessel to Manila. The crew of the Charleston, safely landed in Manila, report that there is little likelihood of any salvage being obtained from the wrecked vessel. The Zambaleso Coast is being patrolled by warships to pre vent the escape of Aguinaldo from Luzon. The Transvaal War. Estcourt has been cut off by the Boers. Communication between that point and Durban is interrupted. General Clery at Durban, who commands the British relief expedition to Ladysmith, reports a small battle on the Mool river. General Joubert reporting to his government on Monday, November 20th, said that he had just repulsed a British sortie, that heavy riHe bring was proceeding south of Ladysmith and he continues the bombardment of thafstronghold. The British are ready to hurl back the burghers who have invaded Cape Colony. General Nethuen's division in the vicinity of De Aar is getting ready to move. General Gatacre’s division is at Queenstown. It will advance through the Stormberg Range, making for Aliwal North. Buller, who is in supreme command of the British South African forces, is in Northern Cape Colony, directing the preparations for the general advance. News from Mafeking up to November Kith says that the British continue to hold out. Their, losses are mounting up. *Y Foultney Bigelow’, historian and war correspondent, predicts that the British advance about to be begun Will be successful. The high school have contracted j with a lecture bureau for a series of entertainments for this winter. The first attraction will be the colored jubilee singers on Friday night, December 1st. See announcement next week.

HOBART IS DEAD. Vlee-Prealdent of the United States Dies Tuesday Morning. Vice-President Garrett A. Hobart died at 8:30 Tuesday morning at Pat-' terson, New Jersey. J Garrett A. Hobart was born at Long: Branch, New Jersey, in 1844, being at I the time of his death 55 years old. He i was an ardent republican and was! elected vice-president with President McKinley in 1896, and qualified in 1897, serving until stricken with Bright’s disease a few weeks ago and gradually grew worse until relieved by death. The Hobarts were very popular in all circles, and have been recognized leaders of social affairs during the | present administration. Their dinners I and receptions were the largest and most frequent, and were attended by ! everyone who is admitted to the as- j semblies of the upper fen thousand. | They lived in an historic house, built by a grand nephew of Washington and owned by ex-Senator Cameron. It is only a few hundred feet from the ! white house and is admirably arranged j for entertaining, In the Senate Mr. Hobart was universally esteemed and admired. He was one of the most accomplished presiding officers that sat in the vice-president’s chair. It is not probable that they will ever go1 back to the capitol again to live. Littles Items.
