DEARTH OF WAR NEWS War Oflice Believed to Be Withholding Dispatch., s���The Ex-Commander- in-Ohief Growls. London, Nov. 10.��� At the [Guildhall bnnqnet, the Marquis nf Salisbury, Lord Wolseley, Mr. Ritchie, Lord George Hamilton, Lord Halsbury, tlio Lord Cbicl' .luslice, the Duke of Marlborough tind n few minor diplomats were present. Mr. Ohamberlain wns absent. Lord Salisbury and Lord Wolseley were warmly welcomed as they passed from the reception in the library into tho banquetting ball. Lord Salisbury rising at a quarter past nine, was greeted with intense enthusiasm, prolonged cheering and a general waving of handkerchiefs. Tbe Pretn- er said : "I have had to answer for many years similar kind receptions in this hall, but never before under conditions that justified mo in applying so confidently to your sympathy and support as in the present grave state of affairs. "Before turning to this serious point, my duty is to inform yon tbat our situation iu Sooth Africa is the only part of onr telatioiis witb othtr nations to whioh any term of apprehension or donlit can he applied. Por several years our relations with and cordial feelings towards our kinsmen 011 the other side of ihe Atlantic have been constantly growing, though we neither interfere into the affairs of their continent, nor do they interfere in the affairs of the other. "But perhaps you think 1 am san- guine in saying that on the continent of Europe we have no hostility to fear. There is undoubtedly a certain KcorbUy of tone among tho writers of the foreign mess, lint I do not believe that the trend of ibis opinion affects tlio peoples of foreign notions. I am quite certain it does not affect their Governments and 1 will say thnt I have noted, as one of tbe symptoms of the present time, the happy relations existing between thu United States and ourselves, (cheers) aud tbo sympathy witb which we wnfeb their np- pror.oh toward the sumo great problems lhat we ourselves have had to solve. That is not to say that I do not feel the greatest sympathy with th?ir 1 .to antagonist, the kingdom of Spain. We entertain the highest hope that out of that war a blessing iu disguise will grow, and that there will be nn abundant growth, civilization and culture in that ancient Hurt most interesting monarchy. "This morning yon had Intelligence of an agreement between ourselves and one of tiic great continental states witb winch for many years we have entertained relations of sympathy and friendship heyo d others. Samoa is not in itself a very Important matter; I'tit it was important because it con stunted a subject of difference between ourselves and a nation whose Hoed will we prize very highly. "1 do not know entirely the reason why the German people and Government attach so much importance to Upoln, hut tbey do, and we ure ven glnd to Hud the means whereby, without the least diminishing the rights and advantages of England, we are able to gratify their views and fiouti- ino'its. 1'The agreement is somewhat (torn-: plicated, but roughly it may be said lhat the Germans had great interest in the island because thoy have invested large anioutiis in its cultivation and boeunso they have constructed a groat commercial tinde of which they are proud, 'the islands, therefore, are 'it great vnlne lo Ihem. To ns, on Jthe ether hand, islands are generally only valuable when they furnish good harbors, Upoln furnishes a very had bar- hor. You will remember the great hurricane when a British man-of-war escaped and when the German and American men-of-war were destroyed. In these circumstanc3s we nre glad to accept a renunciation of the rights of Germany over another island, Ton ga, where there itt in addition, au inimitable harbor, We look the hurbor and Germany took tho territory, in which for many reasons, tho Germans are interested. "I believe we have arrived at a very remarkable phenomenon, an agreement Which is agreeably pleasant and advantageous to both powers, hut this is interesting because it indicates that, at the present moment, our relations with tbe German people are all wo could desire. THE WAR. "Tbe great subject that interests all of us, undoubtedly, is this war, adorned witb so many splendid feats of heroism and skill, hut saddened bv so many lo-ses. I have great difficulty in dealing with tbe war; and if I attempted to deal with the future, I should be undertaking a task in prophecy, from W'liicb the hardiest would shrink. If I speak at all, it may rather bo to de- preoate criticism and statements tempt to pass judgment on what still depends upon the future for its full determination. "Respecting the feelings expressed twice or thrice that tbe want of troops is due to a waut of action on tbe pint ot the home Government, 1 would point ont that there nave been two or three voices. Two or three months ago we were told by the most antbori- tative voice outside tho Government that there was no need for military preparations. But neither of those erit'. lcisms is at all equivalent to the events which have been taking pine,.. It has heeii often sain, especially abroad, that we. are a st'ong nation .Hacking a weak one; but, so long as tne principal part of our forces is separated hy au interval of fonr or five weeks from tbe held of action, it would rather be true to say that wo are a weak nation lighting; n strong nation. Elements of distance aie vi- tal and essential iu this matter. "It would have been nothing to the purpose to issue proclamations for reserves some weeks earlier. For what was the cause of the war, and what wus the cause of the ultimatum? It was not because of any demand we made. It so happens that at the moment the ultimatum was issued, we bad'withdrawn our demands,and there was no demand before the Transvaal Government. It was because we had taken measures to increase the amount of our fornus in South Africa, but if that had been done a few months sooner, exactly the same result would have taken place. The moment yon hnd shown signs of raising your force to an equality with tho force" opposed to it, that moment the ultimatum would have been issued aud war would have begun. (Cheers). "it is not, therefore, right to say that there was not adequate military preparation. The evil dates farther back. It dates to those unfortunate arrangements in 1881 and 1884 by which we deliberately permitted a community, ob.'iously hostile, to enjoy the unbounded right of accumulating munitions of war against us. Year aftar year an aconn mutation of munitions was made which were effectively directed against ns, "Hampered bv these arrangements, it was impossible that we should uvoid the interval of trial and danger which necessarily intervened between the moment when war was declared and the moment when our foices could accept contest and appear upon the field. That interval has nearly passed. Our troops are beginning to arrive. Foreign nations have complimented us upon the calmness with which we have received the intelligence of occasional oheoks. Whatever strategy there might be, wo were well aware thnt the beginning of our conflict with the Boots must bo marked by a retire ment of our troops fiom positions thoy nre not strong euough to oocupy. It is necessary that they should wait for sufficient reinforcements. I do not attempt to forecast the future. I only say ibat my faith in the British sohi- ier is unbounded, and I am deeply gratified to feel that he is iu tho vigorous and sagacious hands of Geueral Buller, "Regarding the future, I will only deprecate some very strange assertions that I see, occasionally iu the continental press. Only the other day, I saw it asserted, not by a chance writer, but by a man who has been a member of a French Government, that this war had for its objects the gratification of tbe lusts of greedy lords, who desired to partition among themselves the gold and diamonds of Transvaal. .Now I beg to assure this gentle mull that Her Majesty's Cabinet have no bad a farthing from the Tiansvaal or from any other gold fielus. There is the Yukon about which there is no contest. If theie had been any chance of our gaining advantages, the Yukon gold fields Should have yielded something, bnt 1 appeal to my trieud Lord Hamilton to know it the Cabinet ever had a farthing from them. (Laughter). "I go further, England as a whole, would have no advantage from the possession of tho gold mines except as her Government conferred the hless- ings of good administration upon those engaged in the industry. All successful industry breeds commerce, and all commerce pioduced is to the advantage of England ; and all interests and commerce flourish better under good Government than uuder any other in- gimo iu the world, but that is the limit of our interest. "What we flesirs is equal right! for all men of all races, and seourity for our fellow sublets and onr Empire, The hour for asking hy what means this result can hi obtained is not .vol cnine, but these nre the objects, and the only objects, wo seek. We do nol allow any other consideration to cross our path. I hnve seen it suggested, and it seems to me a wild suggestion, that the other powers will interfere with this country and in some form or oilier dictate to those who are concern; ed in it as lo what its upshot should be Don't let any man think it is in thnt fashion the conflict will he concluded. We shall have to carry it through ourselves, nnd the interference of anybody else will have no effect upon it. (Cheers.) In the fust because we would not accept and in the second place, because wo are convinced that there is no such idea in the minds of any Government in the world. "Within my recollection there have beeu some live or six great wars in volving in their close great territorial difictitious, but, except as provided and except in the case f those wars has THE SUNDAY MINER.

Lord Salisbury resumed his seat amidst a tremendous ovation. London, Nov. 11.���4:130 a. ro.���Complete silence has again fallen upon affairs in South Africa, and the British public must perforce be content with a brief story which the censor allows, filed in Capetown. That the condition of things is no longer due to pressure of work or defective oables has been amply proven. The Eastern Telegraph Company admits that the delay in transmission is only about two days. It is evident there ore that the censorship is responsible for over two days delay which seem to be the fault of the despatches. This morning, bowover, tbo Daily Telegraph announces that its "appropriated" dispatoh from Ladysmith dated Monday, which the War Gffice publish- 1 on Tuesday, was not delivered in Fleet street until yesterday (Friday) morning. It is believed that the War Oflice received further dispatches and last evening, but nothing has been published. t a banquet in the city of London yesterday, the Duke of Cambridge peaking on the war said: "We ought place, that interference, moi for by treaties of treaties, in none ol hid party ventured to interfere be tween tbe combatants.

"Thunder clouds gathered behind the hills and made an omiuous background, against which the lurid light of the bursting shells showed as if it were already night. It was evident that the attack must bo pressed home before night, so, with half an hour's preparation, tho infantry received orders to advance. The Devons were given tho task of delivering a semi- frontal attack with 'he Manchesters, supported by tbe Gordons on tho right Hank, for which they bad to make a wide detonr. This was half-past four. At this period rain fell in deluges for a quarter of an hour. "As the infantry attack began the enemy's guns came into position, and shelled the advancing lines of tbe Devons, who were uow stolidly pushing acioss the open,cutting the wire fences that impeded them. They were extended as much as possible, this beiug the only method hy wliich the men could face the Mauser aud Maxim fire. Nothing could have been finer than the undaunted front of this battalion edging forward against tbe fire of modern arms. "Having seen the Devons on their way, I joined the Gordons as, skirting the batteries in action, they cut in on tho left of the Manchesters. We marched stsadily on in column companies, until the bonldered nek of the enemy's ridge was reached. This was abnnt three-quarters of a mile from the position of the Boer gnus. In front of the Gordons were threo sucessive kopjes, Cambridge I or latt)er ridges, running diagonally across the flat top of the hill. Each aud us. We fell or threw ourselves over it. Still sounded tho call. "The Highlanders were about iug above. Cheering madly we were over a breastwork, and passed a quick-firing gun still smoking, A Dutchman at my feet was calling for mercy. We wore in���were there. Some one shouted, 'Remember Majubal' Over the brow there was tho sound of skirling Dines. The main kopje was taken. "At 11:30 a. tn., there wur still tiring below. With 'Majuba' still on their lips, our men dashed forward to carry the laager with bayonets, Tbe officers held back, aud a voice iu command h:iiii "Cense flru.' "Again the tingle rang out, and a white handkerchief fluttered at the end of a rifle The enemy had surrendered, but the main remnant were pouring over the hillside, where our cavalry pounced upon them, "It was half-past six. I had just time to look round tho laager below tbe. hillside, strewn with dead and wounded, the Dutch and German gunners being distingisbable by their brown uniform. They had fought their guns splendidly. Two of their guns I saw with ' Maxim-Nordenfelt,' and the direction in English on the carriages. I had to leave at once, as it was already night nud we were 20 miles from the telegraph. "It is impossible as yet to furnish details of our losses or those of the enemy, but tbey must be heavy. At midnight the hospital train came hack carrying 00 of our wounded, but I am afraid the total will be double that. This must have been a terrible night. Many of the wounded could aot have 'leen found till the morning. Glencoe was a sanguinary engagement, and this was in every respect equal to it in bloodshed, but,though the price was high, the defeat was absolutely crushing, and the moral effect will now be felt all through the Republics," This Time Saskatchewan Will Be Troubled.

The London Times' correspondent gives the following account of the final stage of tho battlo of Elands Laagte: "Alter tho enemy's guns had censed firing, our artillery, having now two batteries in notion, began to prepare bad fallen fast, but the weigld of nuui hers carried our troops on. "It had ceased to be a general's battle ! everything depended on company ami even on section commanders, uml gallantly the officers and non-commissioned officers did their work. If the men wavered and stuck under cover, the officers sacrificed themselves to fnr- tush an example, The fighting ou the ridge summit was of this despriplion ; it is impossible to give it in detail. "Tho enemy stood to their positions with a grim persistency which was magnificent, and their stand nt thn last kopje above their camp and laager was one of tho fines! pieces of fighting recorded in modern wars. In spite of the united attack of the storming regiments, training their guns at point- blank range and discharging the magazines, they cheeked the advance for half an hour. "It, was now fi o'clock. Thero was only half an hour's more light, and shattered battalions were lying round tbo kopje where the DUtoh wore making their final stand.

Tho co-operation of the troops aud the navy was complete. The gun bents maintained a terrific bombardment for an hour while the troops rushed waist deep in the surf under a heavy but badly aimed rifle fire from the insurgent trenches and charged right and left, pouring volley after volley tit the fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos wore captured, mostly noncommissioned officers. Several insurgent dead and five wounded were found in a building which had suffered considerably from the bombardment. The town was well fortified. The sand dunes were rivefted with bamboo twenty feet thick which afforded a fine cover. The troops camped in the rain during the night and m the morn iug General Wheaton established his headquarters in a church,quartered his men iu the houses and sent the captured Filipinos beyond the outposts, with orders not to return.

The Tramway Company have not lost much time in incurring the displeasure of the City. It is only a few short months since Nelson stood with hat In hand, inviting the Company to help themselves to anything they wanted ; today they are abused like so many pick-pockets. It will be well to understand if there is any good reason for this sudden change in the relations between tho two sides. To the mind of The Miner thero is not, and if the circumstances had been known as well as they are now the citizens wonld have declined to allow themselves to he worked up to tbe pitch of indignation that has prevailed during the past day ar two. The Company have closed the onlv road that led from the City to the Great Northern station. That, of course, caused a great deal of incon venience, for there is constant com munioation with the Great Northern and to have it interrupted is most annoying. Speaking on the subject Aid Fletcher said : "If they had given us nine or ten days' notice of their intention to close the rrad we might have been able to make some arrangement," and, by implication, the City would have been spnred the present inconvenience. Notwithstanding their legal right to act as they did, the Company wonld deserve all tbe blame attributed to them if they had proceeded to ex tremities without giving reasonabh notion. Aid. Fletcher says they did not ��� icl nol ii: ��� lut when wi turn : b inter lew witb thi folk "Ion ���! bi 11 closii .1 ��� bi ������ ������ a lettei to the Ci t iting ��� fbe; were - Che lei Bl will bear ool !������: 11 nt, If wns ander 1 b< mis taken imwession that no uotici had been given tbat the town became indignant. They gu\e ten days' warning, and at the same time invited the City to negotiate au arrangement by which tbe road might be maintained. Tho fault, then, would appear to lb more with the Council than with the Tramway Company. Indeed, the Mayor, with that admirable candor and straightforwardness which have characterised his official conduct throughout, admits as much. It would have been batter, however,if the Company had practised a little more patience. There could be no urgent necessity for such haste. But they are t" be absolved of the chief blame, and that is the important thing. Tho significance of the whole incident is that it gives the appearance of being the beginning of chronic wrangling between tho Company aud the City. This is to he regretted. There is no reason why the relations should not continue to be of tho most plaasant character. Under the irritation of the moment, tho civic authorities have ordered the Company to conform striotly to the agreement with respoot to the condition of their lines. This is by wny ol reprisal, In some other regard ut some other time the Company will live ap to some strict letter of the contract that will not bo so favorable to the public. And so it will go on. It is to bo a mutual practice of nagging and pin-pricking, not the least creditable to either side. It began in a news-. paper here, whose views of journalism will not enable it to comprehend j anything better, and from that it has j communicated itself to the Company and to the public. It is a wretched, childish policy, and the dignity of the town will he consulted if all parties concerned decide to discard it at once The Tramway is here to remain and to do us good service. Let each side bear with the other, and when disputes nrise let them be approached frnnkh and honorably and with the single d( sire to adjust tlnm with fairness all around. If tl ey shall do this tbe town willhavi no ocouslou to howl itself into fits of indignation. can fjivc or refuse a dissolution. We have never heard that any one disputed this. That is not to say, however, that Mr. Semlin, in the event of his defeat, would not bo entitled to ask foi a dissolution, which is quite another matter. We think he would, and tbe opinion is bused ou the practice both In Canada aud Gieat Britain. It wns undor tbe Premiership of Ml, Turner the last elections were held. The Governor said he did not carr.\ tbe Province,and Mr. Semlin was railed upon to form a Government. It was Mr. Semlin's privilege even then to ask for a dissolution, if he entertained any doubt of a working majority ; but as be did not, he Iried his fortune without and got through with the first session Should dotent overtake him uow be could say to the Lieutenaut-Goavernor that he desired a dissolution, believing that he enjoyed tho confidence of the country,and if faithful to the practice in all such cases His Honor would be hound to give it to him. The principle is thai a Premier is entitled to one general election, of course the Lieutenant- Governor has the power to refuse, but that does not disprove the practice. The discussion may be an unprofitable oue, but as the point has been raised it is just as well that thero be a proper understanding of it. Tho Miner strongly urged the Provincial Government to make provision for a mineial display at tlio Earl's Court Exposition iu London, which ended with October last. But no amount of persuasion could move them. The Exposition was a great success the attendance running up into the millions. The British Columbia Review, published in London, thinks the Province made a great mistake in not being represented. Other London journals that take a special interest in Canada have expressed similar opin- ions. No doubt tbey are right; it was a mistake, but qnito in line with the policy pursued by the present Govern ment in respect to the mining industry. That policy is to injure rathei than help its development, in which they havo managed to sneceed so far as tn throw the whole business into con fusion.

The impiovemeuts as carried out will coat some $7,000, and. it is hoped that the service will bo per- cuptihly improved.

When the work is completed it is calculated that tho water supply will he equal to that of a population ol 15,000.

Tho tearing up of the roadbeds of the City in laving tramway tracks, gas and water mains nnd connections, has left the streets in a bad mess.

This is a decided improvement, hut a few more nieu put to worn on tho same plan would make pedestriauism union easier.

CLOSING THE ROADWAY. Editor Nelson Miner: Sir���Prom the articles published in this morning's press, it is evident there hns been a gront deal of misunderstanding m regard to the position of tho Nelson Electric Tramway Co., in connection with the roadway to Ho gustown. It seems to us a; pity; that when the representatives of the City press interviewed citizens for their views on this mutter, thnt they did not cull upon n representative of this company to Ret the fnets oi' the case as known hy us. We may sny Hint with tho exception of the Mayor no one made a business proposal to us in regard to the matter. We did receive nn intimation from the Government that they would pay $2a0 for a (iti-foot road through our properly, but wo cxolaiiied that wo could not possibly accept this, for tho reason thnt to give a road of this width through this property would involve on our part the purchase of further laud in thnt locnlity, uuless we excavated tbo lots to tbo north and thus practically destiny tbe vnlue of the entire property. Had tho poi icy outlined by the Mayor been followed, we believe that a satisfactory settlement would hnve been reached aud a road would have been iu good condition todny. It has been repeatedly stnted that we did not give sufficient notice of onr intention to elnse tho road up, but we would draw attention tn the fact that our engineer addressed a letter to the City Council on Octo- ber nitb, setting forth onr position fully, and this letter appeared in the ,., luteiis Of vt nr paper, The time given for action to he taken was November 1. We allowed this date to pass without doing anything and lalor " Looking back.I see I never saw before." This is the exclamation of satisfied customers. We have fitted successfully stubborn cases that others have failed in. Satisfaction guaranteed. Consultation free. Patenaude Eros.. OPTICIA Nelson.

BLACK HAW GfiODP HAS BEEN BONDED Mr. Mansiield Secures the Slocan City Property. TO WORK ALL WINTER heen missing ninco last Sunday. It is learned that he left on the noon train on that day for Boston, though efforts have been made to find him, all have been unavailing, The assignees of the failed concern had been at work preparing a statement, but as yet no ays- tomatic examination of the books haa been made to see if the accounts are straight. It is understood that Oeer- ing loft home without notifying bin ,vifa of his intention. He took none if hm personal belongings with him. Cabin., to Bo Built aud Supplies Taken Up at Once���Two More Claims in Camp Mansfield Bonded, Mr Ernest Mansfield does not let tbe grass grow under his feet. He has bonded or staked 12 claims in Camp Mansiield ibis rammer, and has now added again to his holdings. When in Slocan City between two and three weeks ago he secured an option on the Black Hawk group,on Ton Mile Creek, on behalf of his London principals. Immediately on reaching Nelson he forwarded his report and yesterdny evening received a cablegram in reply instructing bim to take up the property and push development work this winter. The bond is for $7,000 with a small cash payment. The Black Hawk is a galena proposition with excellent surface showings, and assays as high as 400 ounces iu silver aud 60 per cent lead have beon obtained from the ore. The development work to date consists chiefly of a 50 foot tunnel driven on the strike of the vein. This tunnel will be continued auother 105 feet, while another one will probably be started lower down at an early date. There are now three inches of clean galena in the face of the tunnel, besides concentrating ore. Mr. Mansfield leaves for Slocau City in the morning to build cabins, get in supplies aud start work, which will be continued night and day throoghout tlie winter. The vendors are Messrs. Graham and Ray. The bonding of the Black Hawk will be good news to Slocan City, being as it is one more evidence of the great mineral wealth in the hills surrounding that charmingly situated town. Like many other places, Slocan City has had its hard times, but it seems now to be entering in earnest upon an indefinite era of deserved prosperity. Mr. ManBfield expects to return to Nelson early next week, and will then proceed to Camp Mansfield by way of Kaslo to put a forco of men to work on the Tony and Glacier group in that camp. These claims were bonded at the same time as the Black Hawk group, tbe consideration being $6,000, Tbe vendors of this group are Messrs. Bradshaw aud Clongh, of Slocan Ciiy. The Tony claim adjoins the Joker,and the Glacier the Bertha Fraction and Green Lakes. When this force is pnt to work, Mr. Mansfield will have about 25 men working at his own camp. PARIS PRESS COMMENT. THE WALTER SCOTT CLUB. Mr Choato Makes a Fine Speech at tho Animal Banquet. Washington, Nov. 10.���Mr. Joseph Hodges Choate, the United States Ambassador, who wns the chief guest at ibe anneal banqnol nf the Walter Scott Clnb this evening, me! with an enthusiastic leceptioU. Sir Herbert Maxwell, who presided, made a cordial reference to the friendship between England and America. In the course of a speech proposing the toast of literature Mr. Choate said : "Truly your couutry and mine are lonnected by bonds of sympathy that were never stronger and closer than they are at this very hour. I can as- nro you that Lord Salisbury's generous ud cordial words at the Lord Mayor's banquet yesterday will meet with a iiuick and hearty response beyond the Atlantic. It has been said by a great thinker that 'peace bath her victories not less renowned than war,' and this iron-olad friendship which now prevails between the two kindred nations is its latest and greatest victory. It means peace, not merely between your nation aud mine, but among all the great nations of the earth aud it tends, hy advancing civilization, to promote the welfare of the whole humau race." The remainder of the much applauded address was devoted to a humorous comparison of the American and Scottish character, as illustrated in every day life and to an eulogy of Sir Walter Scott. CONTEST AT RENFREW. Premier G. W. Ross Will Go On the Stump. Reufrew, Out., Nov. 10.���The war is a thing of secondary importance here just now so keen is the interest taken in matters political. The Reformers have opened committee rooms in tbe MoAndrew block. Farther down Muin street in the Plaunt block are the rooms of Mr. MoGarry s followers The Reformers, although saying that tbey have a sure thing iu this campaign are working with great spirit. Their first meeting was held at Killa- loe. It is expected that Hon. G. W. Ross and other outside help will be here in tbe course of a few days. Air. Ross will speak both here and at Am- prior. The whips of tho party here pride themselves on the fact that they hove succeeded in rounding in nearly nil the bolters, at least all those who belong to the file of the party. As evidence of tliis they point to Mr. Jamie- son's nomination of Mr. Latchford. In the T irv camp everything is hustle and srir. Not since the Ferguson Mclntyre election hns there beeu such enthusiasm among the local Conservatives. Mr. MoGarry is out through the constituency organizing, and so are several other influent ia] Conservatives. LUMBER. Delivered to an any point on Kootenay Lake.

Paris, Nor. 10.��� The more important of tbe Paris papers comment generally upon the Anglo-German agreement regarding Samoa in a moderate tone. The Gaulois, while doubting that the arrangement implies an understanding relative to general policy, says the agreement nuder existing circumstances is proof that the relations between the two countries is improving. The Figaro says: "Once more England has inauoeuverod with superior skill in a moment critical for her prestige." The Echo de Paris says the agreement "is a political event. An event, the importance of which, will only appear little by little." In the Eclair, Camille Pellntiu advises Fiituco to prepare for a possible war with England. HURRICANES IN JAMAICA.
