THETRMSYAALIAR

Believed General Bulier Is Intending Another Attack on the Boer Position.

WANTS TO BETRIEYE LOSS

At Coloi-so Before General Roberts Arrives—Dutch Rising In Griquiland Growing Very Serious—Enemy

Is Energetically Strengthening Its Trenches Around Iiitdysmith,

London, Dec. 28.—Winston Churchill's arrival at Ohieveley camp is perhaps responsible for some overcoloriug of the gravity of the situatiou, 'but all of today's uows conveys the impression that Bulier may be intending pother attack upon the Boer position.

Certainly the Boers are not inactive. At both Modder river aud the Tugela they are strengthening their forces and extending defense works, which in both cases are seemingly almost impregnable.

Dispatches from Ohieveley indicate that General Buller's forces will remobilize at Frere before attempting another advance.

Doubtless he would ba glad to retrieve the Oolenso reverse before the a,r-

'Tikelfr

any, o$en

strike should the iive movement. .. Mr. Churchill's reference to Ladysmith may imply that the situation of the garrison is more desperate than had been supposed.

Dispatches from Modder river represent Dutch disaffeotion in Q-riquilaud west as growing very serio us. Iu some towns the entire Dutc population has joined the Boerg. The rebels have formed a laager at a poiut about 30 m.xes west of Modder river camp. It is also announced that the Boers hnve raised the siege of Kuruman and have all withdrawn to Magersfonteiu.

The Oape Town correspondent of The Times, under dato of Friday Deo.

22,

says: "Auxietv regarding the attitude of the colonial Dutch is steady growing. They make no effort to conceal tlieir sympathy with the two repub.ios, and the only Question now is whether, if the military situaciou is not cimuged, they will keep from open rebellion.

Even in districts thac have not been visited by the Boers in the eastern-part of the province the Dutch farmers are riding auout armed. This is the case also iu districts only 50 miles fromOaoe Town, where a seditious movement is busily*propegaterl. The British forces are inadequate to guard 1,000 miles of communications."

WINSTON CHURCHILL

Has Arrived at Camp Ohieveley—Conlidence In Bulier. London, Deo. 28.—The Morning Post has received the following from Mr. Churchill, uuder date of Deo. 20, telegraphed from Ohieveley camp, where he has arrived: "All rauks have complete confidence in Sir Redvera Bulier aud there is a stern determination to succeed next time at all costs. "A painful impression was caused by the announcement of the change of commander-in-chief, and the soldiers here are resolved to vindicate their trusted leader. "The situation, nevertheless, is difficult, the Boer position being one of extraordinary strength, with high hills lined tier on tier with trenches and galleries, raising from an almost uufordable river, and with a smooth plain in front. "The enemy have ail the ranges marked, and many powerful guns dominate the various "points of the river, while the drifts are commanded by converging musketry fire from probably 12,000 Boers.

There are 16 miles of wild, broken country before reaching Ladysmith, whioh demands early relief."

jjpi.utch Disaffection Bound to Increase {Bondou' Dec. 28.—A special „corre. epondeut of The Daily^h® ft tpfc gifcngTfrom rStfcrksttd^," &|eWoiiyt itfyfcirad*^ D&).*2>1, siWsfc1-0 ^tlrotg mepsiu-faftr arev necessary to oh%c{? hostile feeling ainoug the Dutch colonists, whose sedition is shown in the removal of railway bolts, the obstruction of bridges and culverts and attacks upon solitary horsemen. Disaffection is bound to increase unless immediato reinforcements are forthcoming. The loyal Dutch and British settlers are becoming alarmingly impatient."

Receiving Funds For Boers. New York, Dee. 88. Qeorge W. Van Sielen, treasurer of the Amerioan Transvaal fund, said yesterday that he was reoemng $60 a day iu am all amounts from all orer tke country. He has received 9600 for tke widows and orphans of tne Boers." "It is far better," said he, "to send money to widows and orphans of the Boers who have been or wto ^SAlL be killed i& battle, than to send comforts to the Boer soldiers who can very well get along without them."

Boers Have Plenty of Food. Loudou. Deo. 28.—The Daily Chronicle published the following from Capo Town: "Hen- Schlesinger, an agent of the New York Equitable Assurance society, who has arrived here from Pretona, says tne Boers possess immense stores ot lood imported by speculative capitalists uuder a belief-that mining would be allowed during the war."

SHKLMKG BOER POSITION'

Ijydtlit« Shells Tin-own Into Enemy's Trenches on Uuibnlwana, Ohieveley Camp, Tuesday, Dec. 26.— The naval guns began shelling the Boer position at 5 o'clock this morning, using Lyddite shells. The shelling continued about two hours.

Ever since the engagement at Oolenso the enemy have been energetically improving their entrenchments. They can be seen galloping freely from hill to hill.

Ladysmith also had a busy morning today, shelling the Boer positiou OIL Umbulwana mountain. The bursting shells were plainly visible at Ohieveley.

Although the two armies were in sight of each other with the temperature 102 degrees iu the shade, the British enjoyed characteristio Christmas cheer.

Gleenfell aud Kirkwood of the South African Light Horse, left here to inspect the patrols along the eastern hills. Their horses returned at night alone.

Our scouts having reported Boers in force on this side of the Tugela river, throe regiments of regulars, supported by artillery, and all the available mounted volunteers, under the command of Lord Duudouald, advanced. The Boers retired across the river. The British captured 500 cattle.

Rockefeller's Reason.

New York Tribune: John D. Rockefeller in recently declining to aid personally in erasing the debt of a western church* said to the applicant: "I cannot oblige you because I have no opportunity to examine a report of your financial condition, and I never contribute under any other circumstances. You had best apply to the mission people for assistance. Last year I contributed $1,000,000 through the mission officials because I felt sure that they knew the needs and could distribute it wisely. I might make a mistake."

INSURGENTS ROUTED

Colonel Lcckett Encounters a

Strong Force In the Moun­

tains Near Montalban.

FILIPINO LOSS IS LARGE

Resulting From a Heavy Infantry and Artillery Fire of Three Hours Duration—lie!ieved to Be the Force

Defeated aV, San Mateo the Day Lawtoii Was Killed.

Manila, Doc. 28.—Colouel Lockett, with a force of 2,500 including artillery, yesterday attacked a strong force of insurgents entrenched in the mountains near Montalban, about five miles northeast of San Mateo. The enemy were completely routed, the Americans pursuing them through the hills, amid which they fled in every direction.

Four Americans were wounded. Tha Filipino loss was large, resulting from a heavy infantry aud artillery fire for three hours into the trenches.

It is supposed that insurgents were those who were driven out of Sau Mateo op the day General Lawtou was killed. They numbered probably 1,000.

A dozen lines of insurgent trenches covered the steiip trail through the hills and likewise titfe 'valley below, along which the Almerlcaus passed. The main attacking £ircy consisted of the Forty-sixth volunteer infantry, a troop of cavalry and artillery, Colonel Lockett commanding in person. The rest of the command operated from remote points in an endeavor to carry out Colouel Lockett's plan of throwing his lines around the euemj*aud thus cutting off retreat.

The nature of the mountainous country made it impracticable to execute this movement successfully.

After the insurgents begau to run there was a ..vain attempt to use artillery.

NATIONAL DEMOCRACY

Chicngi* May Not Get the Convention, i' i-et: silver In South, NewYork, Dec. 28.—ElliottDanforth. chaiunuu of the Democratic state committee, lias ivturned to New York after a trip through the south during whion he talked with Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the national committee Iu au interview, Mr. D.iufqrtU said: "I found that the seutimeuc iu thi south was generally in favor of selecting some western city other tliau Chicago as the place for holding the national convention. It looks now as if either Milwaukee or Kansas City will secure tue nacioual convention. Mil, waukee seems to be in the lead. '•in my trip througa the south, I observed one tniuir which will be considered of particular interest in NewYork, namely, that none of the leaders seemed disposed to insist on free silver as the main issue of the campaign next year. They did noc say that they had abandoned the 10 to 1 idea, but they acknowledged that the situatiou had cuauged since 18K6, and that the domiuauc issues uext year were trusts aud imperialism. Tnat is to say, they are uuwilling to repudiate tne Ouicago plactorm, but they see that new issues of far-reaching importance nave come up lately aud that their cnoice should be recognized. Even in states like North Uaroliua, I found that the antitrust aud auti-imporiaiism ideas engaged the attention oi the people more than the free silver issue. In fact, I might sum my observations by saying that the sentiment of Democracy in the south is such that I am confident there will be little trouble in bringing about a union of the Democracy of the whole couutry next year.''

PROPOSED FENIAN RAID

Bluff to Keep Canada From Sending Troop# to South Africa. Philadelphia, Doc. 28. P. J. MoManus, a prominent Irishman, said yesterday that preparations are being made for a public meeting at the Academy of Music. Final arrangements Will be completed at a meeting of the county board of the Ancient Order of Hibernians tomorrow night.

In speaking about the alleged Fenian plot to raid Canada, Mr. McMauus said: "The proposed Fenian raid, if there is any such thing contemplated, is against the rules of international law. The loyalty of the Irish to this country leads them to regard the announcement as merely a bluff to keep the Canadians at home.

It is expected, he says, that the meeting at the Academy of Music will result in a $50,000 fund to fit out a hospital relief ship.

necessary to

The mixture which is said to •work this magical result is prepared as follows: Take one ounce each of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, caraway seed, mace and tonka beans, pound to powder and mix them with six ounces of orris root, which must also be in powder. These ingredients may be obtained ready crushed at a druggist's.
