London, Dec 90, 445 a. m-There Is
still no definite news regarding the
military operations in South Africa.
Probably this is because the only cable
that is now working is choked with
official dispatches.
General Buffers casualty list at Co.
lenso, just published, shows that 146
men were killed and 746 wounded. Two
hundred and twenty-seven are de-
scribed as missing and of these about
40 are known to be prisoners in the
hands Of the Beers. This makes a to-
tai larger than General Buffers orig
inal estimate.
Royal letters, signed by the queen,
are being circulated by the archbishop
to the bishops of the various dioceses
| authorizing collection in the churches
| and throughout England on Jan. in
aid of the fund for sick and wounded
| soldiers and their families.
| The various city guilds have given
an additional e12,00O for the expenses
of the imperial volunteers, besides gifts
of horses, ambulances and other para
phernalia.
The latest notable volunteers include
the two nephews of Lord Roberts, Ma
| Jors Charles and Maxwell Sherston.
Their brother was killed at Glencoe.
The admiralty has decided to dis
patch new naval brigade of 700 men

1t is believed that in mobiiizing the
eighth division the war office will have
| recourse to some extent to the militia,
it being deemed inadvisable to denude
the home garrisons over much of the
regulars.
The chancellor of the exchequer Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, has issued for
NAL denial that any differences exist in
the cabinet regarding war expendi-
| lures.
According to dispatch from Cape
| Town there is a good deal of distress
in the Orange Free State owing to a

EXAGGERATED RUMORS.
state Department Has Heard Nothing of
Trouble in Samoa.

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-The following
statement is made by the German otti-
cialS here:
A press telegram of the 18th inst.
from Apia via Auckland reports that
the German consul in Apia has solemn
ly proclaimed the pending annexation
of Upolo and SaVaii by Germany to
number of Samoan chiefs on board the
German man-Of-War and that on the
same day he hoisted the German flag
over the supreme court.
This report does not cover the re-
ports received in Berlin from the Ger
man consul in Apia and, according to
the instructions which ne has received
from Berlin, it seems absolutely un-
true.
THE German consul has likewise
wired on the 18th inst. but he simply
states that certain Tanu chiefs have
refused to pay the head tax imposed
by the three consuls, hence they had
been ordered to leave the district by
the IS chiefs. The three consuls have
instructed the 13 chiefs to send the
aggressors to Apia for trial This has
been agreed upon
The state department has had no
message from our consul at Apia to
confirm the reports of fresh trouble in
Samoa, and this fact is regarded as
sufficient ito show that any slight dis
turbances that might have occurred
have been much exaggerated in the re-
port. The officials are confident that
whatever trouble may occur will not
be chargeable to the German officials.
as the German government is quite as
anxious as our own that the pending
treaty providing for a permanent set
tlement of the whole Samoan question
shall not be endangered at this critical

MUST PAY THE BILL,
The United States Must Pay the Con-
tractors for Spoiled Beef.


Washington. Dec. 21.--Mr. Tracewe1l,
the comptroller of the treasury, has
passed upon the claim of Swift & Co. of
Chicago for the price of 100000 pounds of
fresh beef, which. according to contract,
was shipped from Newport News, Va.
on Aug. ), 1898, for use of the army in
Porto Rico. The record shows that the
Manitoba, the transport on which the
beef was shipped, arrived off Ponce Aug.
10, where she ran on reef and remained
until the 18th. The captain of the trans
port made an effort to have the beef is
sued direct from the vessel to the troops
on shore. but the officers in charge re-
fused to receive 1t. On Aug Is the trans
port was ordered to Mayagues, where it
remained until the 31st of August. While
there small amount of the beef was
issued to the troops direct. as there was
no refrigerating plant on shore.
On the same day she returned to Ponce.
where she remained until Sept. I and was
then ordered to Montauk Point. n. "
when the beef was found to be unfit for
issue and was thrown overheard. The
board of survey found that the loss by
the spelling of the beef was not due to
any negligence or fault on the part of
the contractors. The comptroller finds
that at the time of its condemnation the
beef was the property of the United
States and directs that the claim be set
tied accordingly
