Vienna, Dec. lS.-General Buffers re
verse is the subject of almost universal
comment in the Austrian press. Most of
the papers incline to the assumption that
General Buffers motives in hurrying en-
gagements are found in the situation at
Ladysmith, and they conclude that capt.
ulation OF that place shortly may be ex-
pected.
The Wiener Abendblatt thinks that the
consequences of the last two reverses may,
in so far as human judgment can foretell,
be the fall of Ladysmith and Kimberley,
and the outbreak OF an Afrikander rebel
lion, and that unless something wonderful
happens in the meantime an improvement
can only be secured by reinforcemehts,
which are not expected until January.

FILIPINO OFFICERS CAUGHT
WILL BE WELL CARED FOR.
Some Bands of Robbers Are Organ-
ixinE-Poor AgGIe Ii Still on the
Run-IIas Some Lady Companions
With Him.

New York, Dec. lS.-A special from
Washington says:
General Otis has now in custody many
important persons who were connected
with the so-called Filipino government,
but no decision as to their future dis
position has been reached by the presi.
dent.
A member of the cabinet says that the
time has not yet come when the fate OF
these men could be determined. 1t is pro-
posed to treat them humanely and with
consideration, and it is believed such a
policy will lead other Filipinos to sur
render. Any Filipino caught directly i'll
unprovoked murder or loOting will be
summarily dealt with.
/ 1t was reported this afternoon that Cen
eral Otis had sent to Secretary Root
communication from prominent Filipinos
which was read at the cabinet meeting to-
day saying there was no organized IN
surgent force and that the army had been
broken up into small bands plundering
and numbering -combatants, and sug-
costing the employment of natives in gar
risoning towns. 1t is said at the war de-
partment that the quota of troops allowed
by law is complete and no additional ma
tives can be enlisted. General Otis will
soon have an ample number OF men to do
garrison duty, and it is to the interest OF
this government to have Americans rather
than Filipinos garrison the country for
the present.
