THE LATEST NEWS.
Another oIsastrous Battle.

Another Disastrous Battle. Orange River. Cape Colony, Dec l4.-Three hundred and twenty wounded, including seven officers, have arrived here from ModdeF river. The following dispatch has been received:
 North of Modder River. Monday,
 December II.
 Early yesterday evening the guards of the Highland brigade moved from Modder river camp, marching in the night in north easterly direction. The objective point of the Highlaaders was the eastern spur of the BOeT position. the guards following the bank of the river, while the Yorkshire Light infantry moved along the nyer side.
 "Just before daybreak the High flanders arrived within a hundred yards of the Bler entrenchments al the foot of a bill. A number of Boers were in the vicinity. The British were still marching in close column when they met a terrible flank 6fe aud were forced to retire with heavy loss.
 "The troops reformed under tl e shelter of some rising ground and gallantly held their position. Later the Gordons arrived and.tbe troops gradually worked their way until within 3oO yards of the BOer posi- ton, displaying the greatest gal lantry. .n the meantime the psvsl gun at Modder river. the howitzeT batteries and the horse artillery opened terrific fire, enilsding the trenches of the BOers and search ing every portion of the Boer posi- tion."
 Alter sleeping on their arms all night the British were compelled to retire. The Boers' loss was terrible, some corps being completely wiped out.
 Cubans Talk Revolution.
 Santiago de Cuba. Dec. l5.-A meeting at the Maceo club last night was largely stt4nded by former officers and soldiers of the Cuban army. The speakers, while complimenting General Wood on bis administration of affairs in this province, took occasion to make the most incendlars speeches that have been uttered since the American Oc- cupation.
 They declared that the American government was evidently making every effort diplomsticslly to de- prive the Cubans of their promised independence. They denounced President McKinley's message as 8 confession of this treaeherous in tention.
 One speaker said that the time was near at hand when the Cubans from one end of the island 10 the other must unite in one vast army, inspired by Maceo's spirit, and sweep the aggressive invaders from their shores. General Quintin Ban dera, president of the club, which is negro organization, spoke more cautiously. He counseled organiz- ation against the time when the Cubans should act, if necessary.
 Most of the revolutionary feeliRg IS among the negroes.

General Butler temporarily defeated and still unprepsred to advance; au uprising of diseontented Cape Dutch imminent; a reign of terror io ZGlulaud, 900 British soldiers captive at Pretoria, the BOer forces flushed with their cleverly earned victories and fighting harder than ever, three British transports grounded within a month this IS the any ything but cheerful nicture in South Africa which the British pub lie and the war office EsVs % look upon seven days before :be boli- days, whea-they were confident at the beginning of the war the Brit ish would eai Christmas dinner at Pretoria.
 To s,y that Englaai |, shroude.l iu gloom describes the situation here mildly. Strange as it may seem, in v,ev of the previous a. well as the present war with the BOers. the English are just reaiiz- iag that they arc against the hard est game ever played.
 Their pet generals have beea rt - peatedly outwit,ed by the less edr- cated BOers; they have lost in killed. wounded and captured al least two to the B0ers one; three of thsir stronghoids are surrounded and in grave danger of being taken; and two wing, of their army are de- feated aud undoubtedly more or less discouraged.
 With this state of aGaifs in South Africa. aud with Russia and France watching with haWk-like eyes for a convenient opportunity to create still further trouble, we are now wonder ing what the finish will be.
 Not a few of E0gland's enemies openly predict that Boer success in the TransTaai means the beginning or the certain end of the power Of the greatest empires.the world has seen.
 This Is probably painting the picture much too dark, but it is un- deniable that Der msjssty's govern ment IS on a very uneasy seat, and that, unless the tide of luck soon turns, measures more 'heroic than any needed this century will have to be taken 10 spreVent ths loss of a great deal of prestige, if nothing worse.
 Manila, Dee. 14.-A detachment of Colonel Hayes cavalry under Lieutenant Arnold has captured Piaonabato. the mountain strong hold where the last insurrection was ended with a Peare treaty. A large quantity of munitions of war were secured. Major Bstchelor's bat talion of the Twenty-fourth in fantry is making slow progress fh the ApArri valley.

ALeper-Stricken Island.

Washington, Dec. l5.-Lieutenant Commander Cottman, who recently paid a visit to :he island of Guam in the collier 3rutiS, has made a report to the navy department. referring to the existence of leprosy in the island and the steps being taken to erad- icate it. In his opinion, immunity from the loathsome disease, so far as the island is concerned, cannot be completely secured until all those affected with it have been properly isolated. According to his report, the natives appear to be entirely in different to the disease, and are sp- psrently ignorant of the great danger of personal association with the afflicted persons, In many cases living in the same houses with them.

Prestons as well, the locals scored but
one, making it seven-three.
Menefee struck out, making it three
straight for Roger, but Davis connected
with the ball for a two-base drive to
left. Nance, however, lined one which
Glenalvin took low and Davis was
doubled out at second, which helped to
hold the visitors down considerably.
Shugart flew to Werden, but Spies put
a hard grounder over short. Schwartz hit
a light one to Smith, but Abbatichio
muffed the throw, and both were safe.
But Smith doubled them ont on Den
zer's warm one near the sack, and the
locals were again BANKED
Carey hit a clean one high over Shu-
CARTS head and Andrews beat out a bunt,
Werde2 sacrificed and Abbatichio's
fore Smith flew to Shugart.
Burke walked and stole second. Two
of the three mfield grounders which fol-
lowed scored him, making the score eight
four.
Then Fisher renewed Denzer's woes
with a three-baSe drive deep into center.
Menefee hit safely for sack, and Davis
put high fly back of first base. Glen did
not get to it, and there might have been
some doubt to whether il was fair or
foul. but Mannassau removed that sum-
marily. Nance sacrificed, Carey ana
Werden hit safe ones, but Andrews few
to Preston, and Smith struck out Min
neapohs total for the inning was four,
for the game, twelve.
1t took eight to tie then but Preston
began a bombardment with a two-bag
ger to right and scored on two weak
grounders to Abbatichio. Schwartz was
given his base. Leave the catcher back
there again. yelled Werden, ''and you
go back to the bench. Look out for Dan
Brouthers here" There is no telling how
much Perry said was in earnest and how
much in jest, but anyway Denzer hit 1t
as far as Brouthers ever could have.
renzer isn't the fastest runner in the
world, but he made three sacks on it.
But Burke flew to Davis and it was
twelve to six. Fisher got another base on
balls and Menefee beat a bunt. Geier,
however, threw out Davis, and the next
two went out pop fouls, Spies making
an especially fine catch on the last one,
so no further runs resulted.
Abbatichio threw out Geier, which Men
efee did for Glenalvin. Lally popped
high one to the boy with the long name,
and it was all over The score:

oh, we are just having a little chat"
SAID Judge Collins to G o b e reporter
last evening at the Merchants Around
the judge were several of Republican
lights from the Sixth district, among
them Congressman Page Morris, of Du-
luth..
Senator c. B. Buchanan, Little Fails;
Speaker A. N. Dare, of Elk River; D. NJ
Gum, of Grand Rapids, and Congress
man Page Morris met yesterday after
noon in the judges apartments at the
Merchants and talked over the situa-
ton. No opportunity is being overlooked
to do little missionary work by Judge
Collins and his friends. 1t Is no secret
that the judges friends are especially
Jealous in his behalf, and as their can1i-
date for governor they are blowing their
horn the loudest The judge attends
strictly to his judicial duties, but he Is
not so busy that he canot find time to
confer with his friends in one of the
fourth-story rooms at the Merchants He
has met many of the chiefs and head men
of the party since the first of the year.
Judge Collins is an astute politician, and
is standing on pretty firm ground before

He Will Be Given Another Trial
Against the MiIIers

The st. Paul and Minneapolis clubs will
play the game postponed from Tuesday,
the last Of the present series, at Lexing-
ton park today, play beginning at $50
p. M. Fisher will be in the box for the
locals and Hutchinson or McNeely for
the visitors.
Through the occasion of an open date,
the suspension of Chief Rowdy Wilmot
in effect applies only to two games Judg-
ing from yesterdays score. Minneapolis
would do far better If he mad been sus-
pended for life.
Menefee was as wild as q March hare
and if the locals had kept up the good
work in the early innings he would have
been put out of the business early He
had no control at all, but when he
did get it over, the locals could not i'm
part any force to the hits.
Dixon is out of the game, as the result
of Sundays accident, which split a finger
nail.
They were bound to bound to Abba
tichio.
The Saints have to take today's game
to break even on the series.
