Holland Submarine Torpedo Boat SnrreM fnlly Tested. New York, Nov. 8. The sub-marine torpedo boat Holland has been successfully success-fully tested in Peconic bay, L. I. Al the close of the test the members of the board of inspection. Rear Admiral Rodgers, Commanders William II. Emory Em-ory and Charles H. Rolicker, and Naval Na-val Constructor Washington F. Capps, shook hands with John P. Holland, the inventor, and congratulated him on his success. He had waited twenty-five years for victory, and tears streamed down his cheeks when the naval officers offi-cers greeted him. The Holland ran out to the course and Captain Lowe and Commander Emery descended into the light round turret on the top of the boat. The cap was closed and the Holland prepared to make its .Irst trip along the measured meas-ured mile. The beginning of the course was marked by two red and white poles set 300 feet apart. The termination termina-tion of the mile was marked in the same manner. Beyond the termination termina-tion pole was set a pole to be used as a target. Between the two ends of the mile were poles so that the board could note the adherence to the course or an deviation from it. The course was bt compass due north and south, the starting point being the south end. When all was ready the Holland sank to a depth of ten feet while going it full speed, which was attained almost al-most immediately. This left the tips ot the flag poles on her deck exposed. But for these it would have been impossible im-possible to have traced the boat, as while submerged she made no disturbance disturb-ance upon the surface. She traveled at the rate of eight knots an hour, making- the distance from start to turning turn-ing point in nine and one-half minutes. Arriving at the end of the mile, she ihot to the surface, her turret coining into view. Ten seconds later she had again disappeared. Within the ten seconds she corrected her course, having hav-ing deviated only seven ty feet from the true course, and fired a regulation Whitehead torpedo, weighing 810 pounds, which went spinning off toward to-ward the target, 800 yards away. Meanwhile, as the deadly missile whirled through on its course, the Holland Hol-land swung about and started back, he turned in a radius of seventy-h vt feet, or about one and one-half time? her own length. She was flying back to the starting point before the missile had run its course. The return trip was made in about the same time as the outward run, and was equally successful. suc-cessful. OTIS' CAMPAIGN BEGINS. Hopes Are Kntertalned that Aguinaldo Wli be Conquered This Month. Washington, Nov. 8. With forces aggregating more than 30,000 fighting men Generals Law ton, MacArthurand Wheaton are now closing in on Aguinaldo's Agui-naldo's army. General Otis set November Novem-ber fifth and sixth as the dates for commencing the campaign all along the line and the war department has information that the program is being carried out. General Otis dispatches are optimistic optimis-tic in the highest degree and the oflti cials are predicting that the rebellion will be crushed before the end of the present month and that important victories will be announced within a few days. Aguinaldo's army, greatly reduced by desertions, is at Bayambang, twenty miles north of Tarlac, which was his headquarters up to a month ago. HntlMon Bay Gold Fields. Duluth. Minn., Nov. 8. J. M.

ENTRAPPING ACUINALDO. Troops Sent to Prevent His Escape Northward. North-ward. Manila, Nov. 7. A fleet of transports and gunboats has left Manila for the most important expedition of the autumn campaign. Its designation is supposed to be Dagupan, or some other northern point. General Wheaton commands, with a brigade consisting of the Thirteenth infantry.the Thirty-third infantry, two guns of the Sixth artillery, and two Gatlings. The transports Sheridan, Francisco de Reyes and Aztec carry the tfwops, with the gunboat Helena as escort. A dispatch boat was sent ahead to arrange a rendezvous with the United States cruiser Charleston, and to the warships that are patrolling the northern north-ern coast of Luzon. It is aisumed here that the purpose of the expedition is to move down the Dagupan-Manila railroad toward Tarlac, Tar-lac, in order to prevent Aguinaldo's forces from making another base farther north. Dagupan and Apparri are the strongholds of the insurgents in the north. It has been the unanimous opinion of military experts that Dagupan should be made a base of operations, but sufficient suf-ficient troops have heretofore been lacking. With Generals Wheaton, Mac-Arthur Mac-Arthur and Lawton moving on Tarlac from three directions, and the mountains moun-tains hemming in the other side, the insurgents' capital will soon become untenable. Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his headquarters to the rich tobacco country coun-try at the northern end of the island. It will be difficult for the insurgents to escape. Should the scheduled operations succeed, suc-ceed, organized insurrection on a large scale should be at an end early next spring, although guerrilla warfare is likely to continue for a long time. No one anticipates that the insurgents will make many hard battles. TREASURY STATEMENT. Statements of Revenuenand Disbursements For the Year. Washington, Nov. 7. Hon. Ellis II. Roberts, treasurer of the United States, in his annual report to secretary Gsge, sums up the operations of the fiscal year by saying that ''a notable activity was exhibited in all kinds of currency, with a marked increase in the use of gold coin and in a less degree of silver coin, while the prosperity of the country coun-try has at no time left any part of the government notes in the treasury above the demands of daily business in its several offices." He says: "The effect of the new revenue law is shown in the receipts of the year, in which there was an increase in 1S98 of 856,553,199 from customs and $102,536,-520 $102,536,-520 from international revenue. The collections of international revenue were larger than those for any previous prev-ious year, with the exception only of 1866, and the total ordinary receipts, which amounted to S515,860,620, were also the largest on record, with the Bame exception. "The net ordinary expenses were a little over 8605,000,000, an amount exceeded ex-ceeded only twice in 1863 and in 1864. There was a deficiency of 889,111,559 in ordinary revemies.

One house was riddled with bullets, and the family had to lay flat on the floor to escape. There is no lack of volunteers to assist the Sheriff, and wholesale arrests ar-rests are looked for. KEEP PHILIPPINES. COMMISSION ADVISES RETENTION RETEN-TION OF ISLANDS. Aguinaldo Wanted to Loot Manila to Get Arms to Fight Americans With Filipino Filipi-no Independence Wonld Mean Anarchy An-archy Review of Situation. Washington, Nov. 4. In accordance with the understanding reached at the conference at the White House, the Philippine commission submitted to the president the preliminary report which it had promised to prepare. This report appears to be a compact summary of conditions on the islands as the commission left them; of the historical events which preceded the Spanish war and led to the original Filipino insurrection; of the exchanges between Admiral Dewey and the other American commanders and the insurgents, insur-gents, the breaking out and progress of the present Insurrection, and finally a statement of the capacity of the Filipinos for self-government. A notable no-table feature of the report is a memorandum memo-randum by Admiral Dewey, explanatory explana-tory of his relations with Aguinaldo. The commission tells briefly how it conducted the task entrusted to it, hearing statements from all classes of people in Manila, as to the capability of the Filipinos for self-government, the habits and customs ot the people, and also the establishment of municipal munici-pal governments in many towns. All this matter is to be included in the final report. Turning to the history of the islands, the commission attaches little importance import-ance to the divers rebellions which had preceded that of 1896. As to this movement, they declare it was in no sense an attempt to win independance, but solely to obtain relief from intolerable intoler-able abuses. To sustain this statement state-ment they quote from an insurgent proclamation showing what was demanded de-manded was the expulsion of the friars and the restitution to the people of their lands, with a division of the Episcopal sees between Spanish and native priests. The report states that Aguinaldo wished to attack the Americans when they landed at Paranaque, but was deterred de-terred by lack of arms and ammunition. ammuni-tion. From that point on there was a growing friction between the Filipinos Fili-pinos and the American troops. "There was no conferences," says the report, "between the officers of the Filipinos and our officers with a view to operating oper-ating against the Spaniards, nor was there co-operation of any kind. There never was any preconcerted operations or any combined movement by the United States and Filipinos against the Spaniards." Reference is made to Aguinaldo's demand de-mand that he be allowed to loot Manila and take the arms of the Spaniards. The latter demand is said to confirm the statement that he intended to get possession of the arms to attack the Americans. Further evidence of the hostile intentions of the Filipinos was found iu the organization of "popular club," which later on furnished a local militia to attack the Americans. The decrees of the Filipino congress are also cited as well as the making of bolos (knives) in every shop in Manila, tj It is shown that a considerable element ele-ment in the Filipino congress wished to address to President McKinley a re-" quest not to abandon the Philippines. (At this stage the Paris conference was discussing the future of the Philippines.) Phil-ippines.) The president was also to be asked his desire as to the form of government he wished to establish. But all this time Aguinaldo was preparing pre-paring for war and delaying these messages, and it was understood the attack would come when the first act by the American forces would afford a pretext. Should our power by any fatality be withdrawn, the commission believes the government of the Philippines would .speedily lapse into anarchy, which would excuse, if it did not necessitate, nec-essitate, the intervention of other powers and the eventual division of the islands among them. "Only through American occupation, therefore, is the idea of free self-government and a united Philippine commonwealth com-monwealth at all conceivable. And the indispensible need from the Philippine point of view of maintaining American sovereignty over the archipelago is recognized by all intelligent Filipinos and even by those insurgents who desire de-sire an American protectorate. The latter, it is true, would take the reve-enues reve-enues and leave us the responsibilities. Nevertheless they recognize the indubitable indu-bitable fact that the Filipinos can not stand alone. "Thus the welfare of the Filipinos coincides with the dictates of national honor in forbidding our abandonment of the archipelhgo. We can not, from any point of view, escape the responsibilities responsi-bilities of government which our sovereignty sov-ereignty entails, and the commission is strongly persuaded that the performance per-formance of our national duty will prove the greatest blessing to the peoples peo-ples of the Philippine islands." Three Spanish Cruisers Raised. San Franciso, Nov. 4. The steamer China brings the news that the three Spanish cruisers sunk at Manila by Dewey's fleet, Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, Lu-zon, and Don Juan de Austria, raised and towed to Hongkong some time since, have been restored to their former condition and are ready to join Admiral Watson's squadron. The work has been under the supervision of Lieutenant Hobson. The vessels will be placed on blockade duty in the Philippines. MOBILIZING SECOND CORPS.

Says United States Can Not Honorably Withdraw from the Islands. Washington, Nov. 5, Admiral Dew-sy Dew-sy asked regarding the report of the Philippine commission, said: "I wish you would say for me that I indorse every word of the commission's admirable report. I can say this with perfect propriety, for the reason that I did not write it. It was written by the literary members of the coinmis-iion coinmis-iion after full and free conference between be-tween us, but on every conclusion reached we were unanimous. We made an absolutely truthful representation represen-tation of all that has happened and of the existing situation. "There has not been a moment since the first gun was fired that the United States could have withdrawn from the islands, and the reason set forth in the report as to why permanent American control is essential are, in my opinion, immovable. There is no other alternative. alter-native. That the Tagalos are realizing this is shown from the rapid disintegration disinte-gration from Aguinaldo's ranks. "The latest advices show a very decided de-cided improvement in the situatiou. I look for an early termination of the war. In fact, I firmly believe that the bottom has dropped out of the insurrection." insur-rection." GEN. JOUBERT PROTESTS. Uoseu't Like the Ammunition lsed By the TJ) British. London, Nov. 5. Belated dispatches from the British camp at Ladysmith, Natal, add little information regarding regard-ing Monday's fight, except the estimates esti-mates of Boer losses, which are now said to be ninety-five killed and 200 wounded, mostly victims of the artillery artil-lery shells, which have wrought such great havoc that it is said General Joubert, the FSoer commander-in-chief, has written a letter to General White, the British commander, protesting against the use of lyddite. According to al! accounts the presence pres-ence at Ladysmith of the long-range naval guns, and the splendid shooting of the bluejackets have materially improved im-proved the position of the British. A temporary armistice was declared Monday evening, to allow of the collection col-lection of the dead and wounded. MISUNDERSTOOD THE FACTS. Controversy Between General Fitnston and Archbishop Ireland. Minneapolis, Nov. 5. Thomas Campbell, Camp-bell, late of the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment, says the controversy between General Funston and Archbishop Ireland Ire-land regarding church desecration in the Philippines, is based on a misunderstanding misun-derstanding of the facts. He says that he, himself, is a Catholic, and that there were a score or more Catholics in his company, ali of '.thorn had as many church relics as did their Protestant comrades. The reason, he says, is that the Filipinos Fili-pinos themselves had desecrated the churches before the United States troops came. The buildings were loop-holed loop-holed for smai) arms aud used as store houses and hospitals, so that the destructions de-structions of the buildings became a atragetic necessity. The paraphernalia either had to be takeu away or suffer destruction with the building. t Klondike (Sold Output. Washington, Nov. 5.

BRITISH HEROISM. PEGIMENTS RESISTED UNTIL AMMUNITION AM-MUNITION WAS CONE. Mules Stampede With Artillery and Infantry In-fantry Reserve Ammunition BrltUh Fortify a HU1 and Fight to the Last. London, Nov. 3. The gloom caused by the British disaster at Ladysmith is, in a measure, relieved by an account of the heroic stand made by the decimated deci-mated battalions until their last cartridges cart-ridges were gone. The British nerve was momentarily shaken by General White's use of the word capitulate in his first telegram, but now that it ia known that the Gloucesters and Fusi-leers Fusi-leers fought against overwhelming odds and upheld the best traditions of the British army, the tension has been relieved, since there is no longer any ground to dread that the loss of life was accompanied by dishonor. The captured detachments under command of Colonel Carlton was one of two sent out to occupy strong positions. posi-tions. They made a night march successfully suc-cessfully until within two miles of the point they desired to reach, when passing pass-ing through a canyon, boulders were rolled down the hill stampeding the infantry ammunition mules. The stampede spread to the battery mules, which broke loose from their leaders and ran away with practically the whole of the gun equipment and the greater portion of the small arms am munition. The reserve was similarly lost. Of the fight that succeeded General White reports as follows: "The infantry battallions, however, fixed bayonets and accompanied by the personnel of the artillery, seized a hill on the left of the road two miles from the position they expected to occupy, with but little opposition. There they remained unmolested until dawn, the time being occupied in organizing the defense of the hill and constructing stone sangers and walls as cover from fire. " At dawn a skirmishing attack on oiir position was commenced by the enemy, but made no way until .:30 a. rn.,when reinforcements enambed them to rush to the attack with great energy. Their fire became very searching and two companies of the Gloucesters in an advance position were ordered to fall back. The enemy then pressed to short range, the losses on our side becomming very numerous. "At 3 p. m. our ammunition was practically exhausted, the position was captured and the survivors of the column col-umn fell into the enemy's hands. The enemy treated our wounded with humanity, hu-manity, General Joubert at once dispatching dis-patching a letter to me offering a safe conduct of doctors and ambulances to remove the wounded. A medical officer of-ficer and parties to render first aid to the wounded were dispatched to the scene of action from Ladysruith. "The want of success of the column was due to the misfortune of the mules stampeding and the consequent loss of the guns and small arm ammunition reserve. The official list of causalties and prisoners will be reported shortly. The latter are understood to have been sent by rail to Pretoria. The security of Ladysmith is in no way affected."
