BIRTH OF THE YEAR FINDS ENGLAND CONFRONTING A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA. KITCHENER HAS MORE BAD NEWS The British General Communicates Another of Those "Unfortunate Occurences’ From the Seat of War—The Boers Capture Many Prisoners at Helvetia. London, Jan. I.—The Boers have now reached a point half way between the Orange river and Cape Town; and, In spite of optimism of the Loudon press, the government announcement at Cape Town shows how seriously the invasion is regarded there. London. Dec. 31.—The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener: Pretoria, Dec. 30.— General Lyttleton reports that our post at Helvetia was captured yesterday morning by the Boers. About 50 were killed and wounded and 200 taken prisoners. Colonel Kitchener reports that he is following with a small force In the track of the enemy, Helvetia being reoccupied by Reeves, who has been reinforced from Bel fast. Helvetia was a very strong position on the Machadodorp-Lydenburg railway, and was held by a detachment of the Liverpool regiment. Am asking for further information. While Lord Kitchener scuds bad news for England on the closing day of the year, the press continues to take a surprisingly hopeful view of a grave situation and ot revelations of an enormously wide field of Boer activity. Genoral DeWet is still at large. Kimberly is Isolated. The Boers are in force enough to have captured a strong position at Helvetia, in the Lydenbtirg district, while Judging from Lord Kitchener’s very recent advices, no progress is being made against the Boer Invaders in Cape Colony. According to further telegrams received yesterday, Zeerust is practically beseiged, but has provisions sufficient for five months. The garrison at Ottoshoop has been withdrawn to Llchtenburg. A dispatch from Carnarvon dated yesterday reports that the Boers who have been threatening that point were driven off und are being pursued. A Boer Prediction. Rome, Dec. 29.—Major General Botha, brother of Commandant General Louis Botha, has arrived in Rome on his way to The Hague. He carries dispatches for Mr. Kruger. In the course of an interview he said the war in South Africa would last for years, that Mr. Steyn had planned the invasion of Cape Colony, ami that a revolt of the Afrikanders was certain. Australia Happy. Sydney, N. S. W., Jan. I.—The new century, and with it the new era of Federation, were ushered in for Australia with every sign of public rejoicing, This city is overflowing with visitors to such an extent that many have to be accommodated on passenger steamers in the harbor.

I CIH OF OMAHA ACTS Heavy Price Set On Heads of Cudahv Abductors. i Omaha, Jan. I.—At a specially called meeting of the city council that body yesterday afternoon adopted concurrent resolutions offering a reward of , $25,000 for the apprehension and con- » vlction of the desperadoes who ab- ( ducted Edward Cudahy Jr. on the r night of Dec. 18. Fdfr the arrest and n conviction of one the resolution proe vides a reward of $8,‘000; for two sls,000 will tie paid, and the whole amount i is offered for the three principals, s The members of the council did not I deliberate long, and the vote by which , the resolution was passed was uuaniII mous. Tlte council also asked Mr. t i Cudahy to withdraw his offer of a reT ward of an equal amount for the capture of the criminals. The object of the city's offer is largely to relieve 5 Mr. Cudahy and ills family of the fear 1 of reprisals from the bandits and to remove from the police and detectives • the restraint they have felt in trailing the bandits on account of the very j trying position in which Mr. Cudahy lias been placed. The action of the • council is commended by the citizens. The President's Hope London, Jan. I.—The Washington • correspondent of the Daily Telegraph I wires an interview with President McKinley, in the course of which he expressed a wish that the United States 1 s and Great Britain might continue in f amity daring the next century. Mr. » McKinley, according to the corresponj dent, said lie hoped for the acceptance i of the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty - and expected to see the Nicaragua ca- ; nal commenced thoroughly in bls seei ond term of office. i WILL HrVE TO BEHAVE ’ The Gunboat Scorpion Will Call On Venezuela. Washington. Jan. I.—The gunboat Scorpion lias been ordered to Venezuela. This action is due to the troubles growing out of asphalt concessions. and the purpose is to afford 1 all due protection to American life ’ and property should either become en dangered. At tiie same time the relief of the Hartford will permit that ’ ship to go to Port of Spain, in the near vicinity, and exchange crews with the cruiser Buffalo, which arrived there yesterday enroute to Manila. No se . rlous significance is attached by naval I officials to the dispatch of the Scor- , pion, although it is admitted that it ( is directly connected with the troubles , in Venezuela. Although a compara- , tively small boat, the Scorpion has de- . monstrated her effectiveness in ac- . tion. During the Spanish war she , engaged three Spanish gunboats in ttie harbor of Manzanilla, driving them ashore and blowing them up with her 5-inch guns. This performance, tof gether with her speed, has given her a j f record of marked efficiency in the . navy. The trip from San Juan, where . she is now. to La Guayra will take i about three days. Soldier Skinned Alive. West Superior, Wis., Dec. 31.—1 n a letter written from the Philippines in November to relatives in this city. ' Captain Harry W. Newton says that ; at that time the encroachments of the natives were worse than they had been at any time during the year previous. As one instance of their ferocity, he writes: "Just the other day they Jumped a detachment of our Twenty-fourth, numbering 22 men. and captured IB of them. One of them was found terribly mutilated, showing signs of being skinned while yet alive.” i Through With Newspapers. , Omaha. Dec. 31.—Mr. Cudahy re-
