With unconscious humor, a Gape Town
correspondent telegraphed yesterday;
"The censorship, which is always a
delicate matter, is working smoothly and
without a hitch.”
This exactly hits off the state of af
fairs today. An omnioim veil is still
drawn over the movements of General
Sir George Stewart White and General
Yule. Beyond belated Ladysmith dis
patches concerning tin* Elamlslaagte
tight, which are still filtering in. the
British public is left in complete dark
ness and to conjecture over “cooked”
War Office dispatches.
Since it is practically certain that
General Yule has now effected a junc
tion with General White—although this
was not brought about Tuesday night,
as announced by the Daily Mail, but
some time on Wednesday-*-and as both
are now in a position of safety, conjec
ture concerns itself ehietly with tin l man
ner of General Yule's retreat. That it
was hasty is evident. Was it disorder
ly? Was any considerable camp equip
ment abandoned? Was there any fight
ing on the way? Such question and
others like them, the public are anxious
ly asking. Since the receipt of General
White's curious first description of the
Ladysmith fight, in which the British
lost a hundred men. little reliance can he
placed on the official dispatches. While
the concealment of the facts regarding
General Yule’s retreat can he amply
justified on the ground of keeping the
intelligence from the Boers the hiding of
the news respecting the Hussars and
Fusileers, who were apparently captured
in the battle of Glencoe. is severely
criticised, no intimation having even
been given that the officers were miss
ing.
The heavy losses of the British troops
in facing only some 8,000 Boers fre
upon as showing what rifle
fire means today in the hands of even
undisciplined men who can shoot fairly
straight and stand 'their ground.
General Sir Kedvers Buller is expected
to arrive at the Gape early next week,
and the indications are that some troops
have already arrived at the front and
been in the fighting, whose arrival lias
not yet been announced. There is a
probability, therefore, th«u re-in
forcernents are moving up. This is cal
culated to hasten Commandant General
Joubert's attack on Ladysmith, and
news of a big battle is daily expected.
About half a complete army corps' is
now afloat, a lull has occurred in dis
patching the remainder of General Boi
ler’s forces owing to some difficulty
in obtaining transports.
New and stringent orders were pro
mulgated yesterday with* reference to
the defences of Gibraltar. The privi
lege English have hitherto had of enter
ing the gate without a pass is tempor
arily sus;»ended. Nobody is allowed to
enter or to inspect the batteries. Even
the famous St. Michael’s cave is closed
because it is required for the storage
of arms and ammunition. For months
sappers and miners have been engaged
in constructing new and powerful bat
teries and it is believed that the garri
son will he augmented.
Tlie Times commenting editorially on
the rumor of European intervention,
scouts the idea, saying;
“No power will lift a finger. The
alarming combinations built upon naval
movements have no existence save in
overheated imaginations.”

DAY ITT WILL RESIGN.
London, October 25. —Michael Davitt.
the Irish Nationalist member for South
Mayo announced in the House of (’om
inous today that he would resign tomor
row as a protest against the Boer war.
Mr. Davitt denounced the jingo press
and said that the war for the meanest
aud most mercenary aims ’ would be
known as the greatest crime of the cen
tury.
■Mr. Davitt’s resignation was something
of a coup de theatre, as the Pail Mall
Gazette says that som * time ago he
told his intimate friends that lie would
take the first opportunity of retiring
from Parliament.

casualties since the beginning of hostili
ties reach 597. Eighteen officers have
been killed and 55 wounded, and 7(5 men
killed and 435 wounded. There are 13
unaccounted for.
This total, however, does not include
the squadron of the Eighteenth Hussars
which went astray near Dundee, and
l lie officers Os the Dublin Fusileers.
The re |sort of heavy losses sent from
Reitfontein came as an unpleasant sur
prise. as General White’s telegram to
the War Office yesterday gave the im
pression that there was merely a brush.
MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The proprie
tors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial liottles
of this great medicine: and have the
satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely
cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asth
ma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all dis
ease of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are
surely cured by it. Call on all druggists,
and get a free trial bottle. Regular
size 50c and sl. Every bottle guaran

for the blessings of the preceding year.
Inis honored olnservnmv insulin's with

domestic life. It summons uuder the
family roof the absent children in glad
re-union with those they love.
“Seldom lias this nation had greater
cause for profound thanksgiving. No
great pestilence has invaded our short's,
liberal employment waits iipin lalmr.
Aviufndant crops have rewarded the ef
forts of the •hns'liandman. Increased
comforts have come to the home. The
national finances have lieen strengthened,
and public credit has been sustained anil
made firmer. In all branches of Industry
and trade there has lieen an unequaled
degree of prosperity, while there has
lieen a steady gain m the moral ami edu
cational growth of our national charac
ter. Ohurches and schools have flourish
ed. American patriotism has been ivx
nlted. Those engaged in maintaining the
honor of the flag with such signal suc
cess. have been in a large degree spared
from disaster and disease. An honora
ble peace has been rartthd with a for
eign nation with which wo wen' at war,
and we are now on friendly relations with
eveiy power on earth.
“The trust which we have assumed
for the benefit of the i>eople of Cuba has
ben faithfully a drained. There is
marked progress toward the restoration*
ofi healthy industrial conditions, and un
diV wist' sanitary regulations the island
‘has enjoyid unusual exemption from the
scourge of fever. Tin* hurricane which
swept over our new possession of Porto
Rico, destroying the homes ami property
of the inhabitants, called forth the in
stant sympathy of the pimple of the Uni

with generous aid to the sufferers. While
the insurrection still continues in the
Island of Luzon, business is resuming
its activity, and confidence in the good
purposes of the United Stab's is being
rapidly established throughout the archi
pelago.
“For these reasons and countless oth
ers, I. William McKinley. President of
the United States, do thereby name
Thursday, the 30th day of November
next, as a day of general thanksgiving
ami prayer, to lie olvservEd as such by
all our people on this continent and in
our newly acquired islands; and I ad
vise that on this day religious exercises
ahull lie conducted in the Churches or
meeting places of all denominations, in
order that in the social features of the
day its real significance may not lie lost
sight of, -but fervent prayers may be of
fered to the Most ’High for a continuance
of the Divine guidance without which
man’s efforts are vain and for Divine
consolation to 'those whose kindred and
fri.-uds have sacrificed their lives for
country.
“I recommend also that on this day so
far as may be found practical labor shall
cease from its accustomed toil and char
ity at Minn d toward the sick, the needy
and the poor.
“In witness wheTeof I have set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to lx? affixed.
“Done at the City of Washington, this

5 Per Cent. Gold Bonds.
The last issue of U. S. Government Bonis bear
only 3 per cent, interest, and yet command a pre
mium over par. The Equitable Life Assurance
Society now offers a policy convertible at matu
rity into per cent, bonds practically as safe as
Government bonds, and in other respects better.
They are better than Government bonds because
they (i) are cheaper; (2) are paid for in instal
ments; (0 yield a higher rate of interest, and (4)
are protected by assurance.
These bonds are called Gold Debentures, and
bear interest at the rate of per cent, per annum
for twenty years. Both principal and interest are
payable in Gold, and the “promise to pay” is made
bv the strongest life company in the world.
