AN ENGLISH FIRM.
British Concern Owned Most of the
Seized Flour.

British Concern Owned Most of the
Seized Flour.
New York, Dec. 29.-It now appears
that the firm that had the largest ship
ments oe flour consigned to Delagoa
bay on the three vessels of which the
cargoes were recently seized by British
authorities, is an English concern
Arthur May & Co. of Bristol, which
has a large branch office in this city
The firm had on board the three ships
which were seized-the Maria, the
Mashona and the Beatrice--about $4,000
bags of flour consigned to Lorenzo
Marquee. The agent here will not say
whether the -four was intended for ulti-
mate shipment from Lorenzo Marquee
to the Transvaal, but he has not at
present made any representations to
the state department, as have most
of the other firms which had goods
seized.
The manifests of the three vessels
show that they carried the usual class
ports, although the proportion of flour
was much larger than usual. 1t is
tacitlv admitted by the American firms
whose goods have been seized that a
large proportion was intended for the
Beers. A member of one tlrm declared
that there was a very large local trade
in Lorenzo Marquee.
-
We're all shipped at the consignee's risk
and they cannot therefore claim DAM
ages from the American firms for nom
delivery. The steamship owners are
also protected from similar damage
suits, as a clause in the shipping agree
ments provides that they are not re-
sponsible for unforeseen events" In
spite of this, it is stated that a large
proportion of the goods snlnned to firms
in Lorenzo Marquee was paid for before
it left this country. The uncertainty in
every direction consequent on the war
made shipping concerns in America
careful and most of them refused 70
transact business except on cash be-
fore delivery" terms.
The people in Delagoa bay are, there
fore, the real sufferers, particularly as
that city is now full of refugees from
the Transvaal and rrices for everything
have gone up.

Coll!deS With Another Train With

Denver, Colo. Dec. 29.-The Chey-

road crashed into the Boulder valley
train at Brighton, Colo, at this morn
ing. One man was killed and IA per-
sons injured, as follows:
Killed:

The Boulder valley train left Dem
Yer a little late this morning and as
usual stopped at Brighton, which is the
junction for the Boulder Valley line
from the main line to Cheyenne. The
Cheyenne flyer also left Denver late,
and coming into Brighton in the early
morning dusk. ran into the rear end
of the Boulder train, telescoping two
or three cars and derailing the pas
senger locomotive Section gangs from
Denver yards and half dozen pas
sengers occupied the Bender train. The
mail and baggage car. and smoker Of
the flyer were burned. Mrs. Young was
in a chair car with six children. None
of the children were hurt. The wound
ed We're brought to Denver about noon
and taken to the hospitals. Conductor
McAllister of the Boulder Valley train
was crazed by the accident He at
tempted to jump into the burning
wreckage and had to be forcibly re-
strained.
Remarkable fortitude was shown by
Fred Laws, brakeman on the Boulder
Valley train. He was making a coup
ling near the head OF the train when
the collision occurred He was thrown
down and a wheel ran upon his leg,
pinioning him down. His cries for
help We're not heard and he drew a
knife from his pocket, cut off his leg
and crawled from under the car. His
recovery is doubtful.

ORDERS A COURT MARTIAL.
Captain Shufeldt Refuses to Obey the
Secretary's Instructions.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The war depart
ment has accepted the challenge of Cap
tain r. w. Shufeldt. Z. S. A, retired.
has transmitted all the papers referring
to the case of the officer to Major Gen-
eral Merritt. commanding the depart
ment of the East at New York, for court
martial proceedings. Several days ago the
adiutant general, by direction of the sec
retary of war, ordered Captain Shufe. e.dt
to place himself within the jurisdiction OF
the civil courts of Maryland, before
which that officer was the defendant in
divorce proceedings.
Captain Shufeldt wrote a letter to ths
secretary of war protesting against the
action of the military authorities and
notifying him that he must decline to
place himself within the jurisdiction of
the Maryland court He told the secre-
tary that he had been under military ar
rest for more than a year and that he
considered the order issued in his case
as unreasonable. as it would be one which
would require him to commit murder or
some other crime.
All the correspondence in the case has
been referred to General Merritt with
instructions to order a court-martial for
the trial of Captain Shufeldt on charges
of scandalous conduct and conduct unbe-
coming an officer.

ONLY SPORADIC CASES.
Plague Scare in Japan Is Practically
Oyer-A Financial Panic.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Correspondence
of the associated press from Yokohama
dated Dec. Il, says:
The plague scare has subsided. only a
sporadic case being now and then re-
ported. while the vigilance of the au-
thorities is undminished. The entire en-
pire, through the unprecedented cleaning
up which has taken place. will be gain
er from the visitation of the scourge.
In the Japanese political field all is ap-
parently serene. The diet adjourned from
day to day with brief routine sessions and
a complete absence of exciting issues.
Those behind the scenes, however, predict
a speedy overturn of the cabinet through
the camor of the spoils politicians who
are demanding the political control OF
offices. Financially. Japan has recently
passed through somewhat Of a panic IL
lustratng in a curious way the far-reach-
ing influence of the war at the antipodes
and also the inability OF the nation to
adapt itself to the conditions of modern
finance The furry was occasioned by the
exodus of gold to the amount of some
5000, 900 yen $4,000. .000). 1t is now, however,
practically over, and were it not for the
strained relations between foreigners and
natives. business would be proceeding
quietly in the accustomed channels.

TO RELIEVE LADYSM|7H
General Butler Believed to Be
Planning a New Movement.
BOERS' LINE OF RETREAT
Care Is Being Observed to Keep It Open,
An Engagement With KaIars-Money
for Soldiers Families Continues
to Pour In.

London, Dec. 30. S a. m.-The latest
special dispatches from Chieveley Camp
hint darkly at some important move
ment as imminent. This is interpreted
with some misgivings, to mean that
General Butler contemplates re-
newal of his attempt to relieve Lady
smith.
1t is reported by the same dispatches
that the Beers have now retired to the
north bank of the Tugela, being afraid
that the swollen river may bar their
retreat. They are also moving their
laagers nearer Ladysmith, probably
with the intention of putting further
pressure on the garrison which now
seems to be suffering prettily heavily
from bombardment.
1t is difficult, however, to conceive
that General Butler would make an
other frontal attack, especially now
that the river is rising and an addi-
tional indication that this is not his
purpose is the fact that he has re-
moved his headquarters back to Frere
The Boer movement northward from
the Tugela is quite in keeping with the
enemy's plan of securing safe line of
retreat.
IL 10 hiiOWll that lullHeI al lllleEy 10
due to arrive for General Butler, but
the belief here is that his forces even
then will be too weak. He may, how
ever, be animated by desire to/ac-
complish something before the ar
rival of Lord Roberts and to satisfy
the keenness of his men to retrieve
their defeat
The reported engagement with KAT
frs is very vague and cannot be ex-
planned pending the arrival of later dis
patches.
The Earl of Mount Edgiscombe,
brother-inlaW of Lord Landsdown,
says the war office would countenance
a scheme to enroll volunteers in a sort
Of preparatory stage in order to learn
drills and the like.
The number of members of the house
of commons who have volunteered for
the front threaten seriously to reduce
the governments majority when parlia-
ment reassembles.
The Rothschilds have donated $4,000
to the Buckinghamshire volunteer fund.
1t is estimated tha,, e200,000 will be
contributed privately 20 volunteer funds
throughout the country. Already the
