Employees of Thomas C. Orndorff's
cartridge belt factory, 81 Union street,
will begin work today on an order for
$4,000 double Bandelier cartridge belts,
received yesterday, from the British
government.
The belts are for use by the Trans
vaal troops, and lots of 5000 each will
be shipped Immediately upon manufac-
ture. The order is the largest ever re-
ceived by Mr.. Orndorff from foreign
country. Work on cartridge belts for
the United States troops kept the fac
tory running overtime during the Span
ish-American war, but the British order
is direct compliment to the product
Of one of Worcester's manufactures.
The capacity of the Orndorff plant
has been greatly reduced during the
past few days, according to the state
ment of an employee last evening. II
is said that nine looms have been ship
ped to England The looms were pur-
chased by a British syndicate, and ar
enormous sum was paid for the exclus-
i've right to manufacture cartridge belts
of the Orndorff pattern in England.
The shipment of nine looms has
cleared one floor in the cartridge bel
factory, but Mr.. Orndorff can duplicate
the looms he shipped to England anC

war time conditions within a few
weeks. The present force of employee:

BOER SPY SYSTEM.
The T n es has a later dispatch from
Lourenzo Marquee dated Dec. %,
which says: 1.-The suspicion that the
Boer intelligence department is in close
touc' with foreign consulate in Pre-
toria, is confirmed by the fact that the
news Of IL? appointment of Lord Rob-
elts as COMMUNICATIVE chief in South
Africa, was generally known in Preto~
ria on Dec 20 indirectly reaching Del
agoa Bay from the Transvaal, two days
later Suspicion rests upor consul
who is notorious for his Boer sympa-
thies. There is reason to believe that
Pretoria is kept well informed with re-
gard to British military movements.
with reference to the rumors of
Smuggling cCntTahand, it is significant
that Mai. Erasmus of the Free State
artillery, is here, his arrival being CO.
incident with that of the French liner.
Considering The freedom with which
the 1rdnsvaa al secret service fund is
spent, considerable mischief may be
done unless cargoes are inspected by
British searchers, who understand for
eign bills of lading."
ut is felt here that all mining and
other machinery should be stopped,
owing to the possibility of hoodwinking
the officials. The consul who repre-
sents The Transvaal and the Orange
Free State in Lorenzo MARQUEE, still
continues to act in the same capacity

statement respecting the cruise Of the
Montgomery to West Africa, it is ad-
mitted that the ship was there in the
early fall, returning to her station at
Buenos Ayres about the first of last
November. These dates in themselves
may be regarded as sufficient to dispel
any impression that the cruise was in
any manner connected with the war be-
tween the British and the Beers. AS
to the real objects of the cruise, it is
believed that the navy department had
its eye upon a possible coaling station
on the west coast.
Before and during the civil war, the
United States had three coaling sta
tons on that coast. They were practi-
cally abandoned when the West Afri-
can station was dropped from the list,
but the chief of the equipment bureau.
Admiral Bradford, has strongly urged
that they be re-established so as to en-
sure our naval vessels a source of coal
supply when passing from the eastern
Atlantic states, around to the Philip
pines and China in the event that the
Suez canal should be closed against
them.
The Liberian government is willing
and even anxious that the station on
its coast should be kept up If only as
a manifestation of the interest of the
United States in the colony it created,
and to protect it by our moral infiu-
ence against European aggression The
British conception of the object of the
Montgomery visit to Africa, there
fore, may be entirely within the line of
probability, as intended not only to af-
ford us a good coaling station where
one is badly needed, but also to exhibit
to other nations our natural interest in
the negro colony founded by Ameri-
cans

AN UGLY RUMoR
Queer Actions of a County Treas
urer Give Rise to Talk

Lancaster, Pa. Dec. 29.-The failure
of A. Hershey & Bro. of Gordonville
and the continued absence of County
Treasurer E. L. Hershey, member of
the firm, have given currency to an
ugly rumor.
On Wednesday attachments aggre-
eating $4,000 were filed against Amos
e. Hershey The next day an execu-
ton for $4,000 was filed against Chris
tian H. Hershey, which he paid today.
This execution was issued on a judg-
ment bond given by Christian as col
lateral security for the payment of a
mortgage on Treasurer Hersheys
house. County Treasurer Hershey left
his home at Gordonville on Sunday,
saying that he was going to Philadel-
phia on business His family and
friends are in Ignorance Of his where
aboutS.
The grounds for the present rumors
will not be positively known until Mon
day, when Treasurer Hershey is ex-
pected to transfer the funds in his
hands to his successor, who then takes
office. 1t is thought that Mr.. Hershey
has enough OF, deposit in banks to meet
i.ls obligations to the county, but 1t is
understood that possibly as much as
900 is still due from him to the
state.

afforded, can turn out about 1000 belts
per week of the double Bandelier pat
tern-which require nearly twice the
amount of webbing than belts in use by
United States troops.
The Spy man called up Mr.. Orndorff's
house last evening, but Mrs. Orndorff,
who answered, said that her husband
had left for Washington during the
evening. She knew nothing about the
orders, as Mr.. Orndorff had left hur-
riedly, and had no opportunity to speak
| of business affairs. When asked whether
Mr. Orndorff had governmental busi-
ness in Washington, she suggested that
the reporter interview Mr.. Orndorff
early in the coming week, when he is
expected to return. When questioned
regarding the shipment Of looms to
England, she hesitated, and said, well,

An employee of the factory was much
elated last evening because of the fact
| that the order for belts had been re-
ceived from the British government. He
said ut was evidently the intention
and aim of the syndicate which pur-
| chased the looms to receive all orders
! from the government on the strength
OF having the right to manufacture belts
of the Orndorff pattern The order re-
ceived by Mr. Orndorff shows that
either the syndicate got fooled or the
government didn't have confidence
lenough in it to risk such a large order.
| 1t is probable that other orders from
England will follow if early shipments
meet with the approval of the British
army officials, and l have every reason
to believe they will"

LADY SARAH'S ADVENTURES
Escorted by a Gallant Young Boer
She Visits Vryburg

Mafekng, Dec. 10 (by native runner).
Lady Wilson is living here in bomb
proof hut of her own construction. She
related some OF her experiences to a
representative of the Associated Press.
Some of her adventures were exciting
and others amusing.
1t was on a Thursday that she left
Mafekirg. She arrived at SeliagoA Ho-
tel that night. Before morning she was
aroused by the rattle of musketry and
the boom of guns. 1t was Captain
Nesbit of the Mashonaland mounted po-
lice, now a prisoner in the hands of the
Beers, who was fighting desperately,
unable to get back or to go forward,
but holding the wrecked armored train
until the last AS soon as daylight
would allow Lady Sarah pluckily rode
to the scene of action and photograph
ed the wreck.
Finding that her presence at Setlago-
Ii led to insult, the Beers moved her to
Mositi, where she enjoyed the hospitali
ty of d colonial farmer. By means of
heavy brides she persuaded natives to
carry information to and fro.
Extraordinary stories regarding her
were circulated among the Beers. One
was that she was the wife of an Eng
lish general, another that she was a
granddaughter of the queen, who had
come to spy upon the doings of the
Beers. and the third that she was the
only male survivor of Mafelking, having
escaped in the guise Of woman. La
dy Sarah visited Vryburg. She
was driven there by young Boer who

London, Dec. EFT has been learned
by a representative of the Associated
Press, that the United States cruiser
Montgomery's visit to Liberia was ap.
parently the result of overtures made
to Washington by that republic
Though the British government is in
complete ignorance of the purpose OF
the Montgomery's mission, the estab-
lishment of coaling station in Liberia
by the United States is regarded as
scarcely possible as it is asserted nc
Liberian port has any facilities fol
coaling, all of them being open and
surf bound.
But the Associated Press learns that
a far more important step is under
consideration. 1t consists in joint re-
quest of the United States and Great
Britain upon France to define the boun-
Diary between the territory she claims
and that claimed by Liberia. This
step is not yet decided upon, but
Great Britain only awaits the United
States assent to become a party to
such a request.
1t is alleged that France for many
years, has been encroaching on Libe-
ria, and it was only by the strenuous
QIOl6SI Oh lue GnllcQ OldlGS lllctl SllS
was prevented from appropriating a
large slice of Liberia in 1892.
According to the Hon. Arthur Pom
sonby, managing director of the Libe-
ria rubber syndicate, which recently
guaranteed the interest of Liberia
public debt, the Montgomery visit
was probably prompted by a desire to
ascertain the extent of French activity
Mr.. Ponsonby said to a representative
Of the Associated Press: Bishop Hart
zell, while in Monrovia this year
strongly urged the government to in
terest the United States in preserving
the boundary, with the result that Lii
IBERIA appointed minister to Washing
ton.
Liberia would gladly lease a coal
ing station to the United States, but
beyond hosting her flag upon it, it
would be OF little service.
THE feeling among British subjects
commercially Interested in Liberia, is
that the republics progress had better
be under the protection of either Great
Britain or the United States"
Liberia decorated Mr.. Ponsonby this
week with the order of African Re-
demption, in recognition of his ser
vices against encroachments.

London Dec. 30.--The Marseilles cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, tele
graphing the substance of an interview
with the Russian general, Gourke, eld-
est son of the famous Gourke, who is
now about starting for Pretoria, says
that the Russian officer made the fol-
lowing statement:
II have been offered the command of
q Boer army corps. In my own mind,
1 am absolutely confident of the sue
cess of the Beers. You may take my
word for it that thousands of Russians
are now fighting under Gen. Joubert."
Sir Charles Dixie, in the Daily Chron-
icle, this morning, discusses Great
Britain's relation to Delagoa Bay with
regard to the food question. He says:
ut would be one of the greatest 'follies
the country could commit to disregard
the possibility of a war some day
against a powerful naval coalition, in
which event it would be to the interests
of the United States to feed Great
Britain
Great Britain must endure the pres
ent conditions, possibly doing some
thing by pressure on the Portuguese
officials, and strengthening the British
consular staff at Delagoa Bay"
The Daily Chronicle, in an editorial
dealing with the dependence of Great
Britain upon the United States for
food in time of war, expresses the opin
ion that many British ships would be
transferred to the United States flag.
GUNS MOVED BY NIGHT.
The Daily Mail asserts that several
guns have been removed from the forts
at Plymouth by night, and that these
will be sent to Cape Town. The Times
publishes the following dispatch from
Chieveley camp, dated Dec. "a
Parties Of Beers appeared today
within three miles of Chieveley camp,
threatening our watering parties, who
are compelled to go some two miles,
owing to the scarcity of water.
ut is reported that Ladyslnith gar
rison made a sortie on Thursday and
captured a hill"
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily News says: "A leading resident
Of Yryburg, who was released by the
Beers. saw 1000 colonials from Griqua-
land West. He says colonial faces are
to be seen everywhere in the Boer
ranks"
AMMUNITION STRUGGLED.
The Times has the following. dated
Dec q, from Lorenzo Marquee: Car
goes for the Transvaal have dwindled
to one-fifth of the average; but large
shipments are expected from Europe.
In the meantime there are. persistent
rumors here and in Durham that guns
and ammunition are struggled through
for the Beers. A French liner, now in
the harber, is said to have brought two
large guns from Madagascar.
THE head of the customs assures me
that there is absolutely no ground,
however for such rumors. All goods;
he says, are discharged, examined and
dispatched by daylight. So great is
the stringency, according to this OIL
cial, that even saddles and horseshoes
are not delivered to local importers, ex-
cepl in small lots and under written
guarantees. The same precautions
are taken with reference to all contra
band articles OF course, much de-
