lady was elected Sheikha, and with the as
sistance of the oldest commissioned
officer and some black commissioned officer
settled all disputes; and never were there
more orderly, law-abiding communities.
When the troops left the Dongola Province
for further operations south, the grass
widows were sent down to Wadi Halfa to
join the other families, and it is to be
hoped that by now all have been happily
reunited at Fashoda, Khartoum, or wher-
ever the breadwinner may happen to be
stationed.
/ mention all this because ones thoughts
cannot help turning to Uganda and to poor
Thurston whom we all knew and liked
so much; and with the opening up of a
vast Black Empire and the employment of
numbers of black troops, / think that a
word in season is not amiss, and that a
useful moral may be deduced as to the
great secret of dealing with black troops.
Respect his one great weakness-give him
wife and family and home life. and he is
the most genial, contented. easily man
aged being in the world; deny him this.
and he rapidly becomes restless and dis
contented, spends his leisure in wander
| ing about in search of adventures, brawls
| and loots in the villages, and gives endless
trouble.
Some of our blacks were very good
ShOts, Dut tHe majority were DeioH tHe
average of English soldiers, and the
Egyptians were not such good shots as
| the blacks.
| At the battle of Firket company oi
| Camel Corps was lining a ride of rocks
| with corresponding ridge held by the
| Dervishes some three or four hundred
yards to their front; black sergeant
named Capsoon had found a sort of natu-
| raj embrasure in these rocks, and, calling
| an English officers attention TO his PROV
ess, he shot down Dervish after Deryish
as he showed himself. The company then
| charged the Dervish position and cleared
| them out, and the fruit of CapsoOn's skill
| at arms stood revealed; his bag was nearly
a dozen killed. This almost equals wha
| one has heard of Boer craftsmanship.

Amateur Baseball.

Two mines composed of employees Of
Goldenberg's did battle royal for suprem-
acy on the diamond yesterday. The game
was replete with exciting plays through
out. and in doubt until the last inning.
The game was lost by the Seniors" main
ly through their inability to hit the ''Ju-
niors' pitcher, Handiboe, and the erors
of Liebeman, their star" pitcher, who
had an ''off" day. Damman's long home
run and clever catching were the features
of the game. Messrs. Henshaw and Cohn
umpired in an impartial manner. After
the contest Pitcher Liebeman was served
with an unconditional release
The score was Is to II, in favor Of the
Juniors.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.
BeIated Dispatches Throw No Light on the
Situation at the FrOnt-Churchin Ar
rives at DeIagOa Bay.

London, Dec. 23.-Belated South
African dispatches throw no light
upon the present situation at the seat
of war. There is no confirmation of
the report that Ladysmith could hold
out several weeks longer, and it is
feared that this was circulated by
the Beers for their own purposes.
It is hoped that Mr.. Winston
Churchill, having arrived safely at
Delagoa bay, will soon be heard from
regarding conditions in the Trans
Yaal, as he must have obtained inn
portant information.
a Cape Town dispatch dated Sun
day, December IL, reports that Com
mandant Diedericl1s of the Boer
forces, was killed in q reconnoiter
engagement, but no details are given.
Advices from Naauwpoort describe
everything as quiet there and the
only fresh news from Arundel con-
Germs the weather, which is excess
sively hot.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Chieveley, dated December II, esti-
mates the casualties in Gen. Buffers
repulse as 1850, including 1872 miss
ing. 1t announces that "a portion of
the British troops have returned to
Erere.''
The Chieveley correspondent of the
Standard, who attributes the whole
disaster involved i'll Gen. Buffers re-
pulse to the mistake of Col. Long in
taking the artillery too close to the
river, says: Col. Long fired for 90
minutes and simply exhausted his
ammunition
A dispatch from Cape Town, dated
Sunday, December II, says that Gen
Methuen's primary object in crossing
the Modder river appears to have
been to establish searchlight com
munication with Kimberley, which is
believed to be still on full rations.
The water in the mines is plentiful.
On the other hand, in spite of their
usual tactics, it is considered pos
slble that the Beers have been COM
PEELED to assume the offensive, the
commander having arranged for the
disposition of the forces and antici-
pating difficulty in maintaining food
supplies in the present positions.
Moreover, it IS said there is a growing
desire among the Free Staters to re-
turn home, which is testified to on
many sides, and may tend to precipi-
tate an action on the part of the Boer
commands.

WITHOUT CEREMONY.
Near Midnight ia Havana 151 Newiy-Cos-
fined BODIES of the Maine Victims
Were Hauled to the Texas.

Havana, Dec. 22.-The removal of
the dead of the Maine was not ac-
companied by any ceremonies over
the bodies, as newly-cof6ned they
were placed in the mortuary chapel
Of the cemetery until all was COM
pleted. At ten o'clock last night ten
wagons formed a procession carrying
ISL collins to the Machina wharf,
passing through unfrequented streets.
The bodies reached the wharf at
1880, under a strong guard from the
battleship Texas, placed aboard two
steam lighters before daylight, and
were taken to the warship at six a.
m. She left here at ten a. M All the
remains were thoroughly disinfected.
A difference was found between the
number of collins inferred on Chap
lain ChidWicl1's list, which was 154,
and the actual number of collins eX-
humed. Search was made through
all % graves in which lie collins were
buried, but the missing three were
not found. Father Chadwick said the
difference could be explained by a
clerical error at the time of interring,
as he was very busy at the wharf,
giving instructions and identifying
the bodies, and could not superintend
every detail. 1t was also quite posi-
BILE that, after ordering portions of
two different bodies to be placed in
different collins they had carelessly
been put in one coffin.
Persons who were DESTROYS OF pho
tographing the proceedings at the
cemetery were not allowed to do so.
The work was conducted oIietIV and
decorously, under the direction OF
Father Chadwick. The old collins
were carried away and burned.

MUST GIVE IT UP.
American Flour Taken BY British Vessels
on South African Coast Not Sub
ject to Seizure.

Washington, Dec. 22.-In the alb
sence of a formal complaint, the state
department officials do not care to
express a specific opinion in the case
of the reported seizure of American
-four by British cruisers off the South
African coast, under suspicion that it
was intended for the Transvaal. But
under the general rule adopted by
our government and adhered to by
most of the other civilized govern
ments, merchandise of this descrip-
ton sent by one neutral nation to an
other, as in the case of the United
States and Portugal, is absolutely ex-
empt from seizure.

GARFIELD DEFENDED HIM.
Col. AEIlligan, Who Is Dead at Huntington,
Ind, Was Condemned for Treason and
Narrowly Escaped Execution.

Huntington, Ind, Dec. 22.-Col. L.
P. Milligan died at his home in this
city Thursday. He was 81 years of
age and his name is familiar in ma
tional history. In 1864 he was ar
rested on the charge of treason and
placed in a military prison at Indian
apolis. A military commission found
him guilty and he was sentenced to be
hanged on May 10, 1865. The ga]lows
was erected, but before the execu-
ton the sentence was committed to
life imprisonment. Later the case
was presented to the supreme court
and James A. Garfield made one of
the arguments in Col. Milligan's be-
half and the prisoner was released.

After the Popullst Convention.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 22.-The
Populist state committee at its meet
ing here December .29. will take or
ganized action toward securing the
national populist convention for this
city. The Commercial club will aid
in the effort. Secretary Walters, of
the state committee, says he has
good reason for believing the con-
vention will be held here. He says
it viii be much larger than four
years ago and there will be no fusion
seriously considered.
