METHUEN IN A TIGHT PLACE
No News since SuudnS-Fear His Conn
municntions Are Cut Oh-"oers
Improving Position.

LONDON, Dec. 21.--i:45 p. m.-The grav-
ity of the military situation is again be-
coming accentuated in the public mind
owing to the complete absence OF news.
Nothing has been heard from Lord Methuen
since Sunday and it is feared that his
communications have been cut off. If this
be so his position is dangerous.
\ correspondent of the Daily News, tel
.egraphing from Modder river last Saturday,
says:
Tho Boer position, already formidable on
December IL, has since been greatly
strengthened extending for an area of
to the most modern methods throughout its
entire length, wire fences having been placed
before all the trenches at every point Guns
have been got into position and there is
every evidence that the Beers are well sup
piled with ammunition. Only a powerful
attacking force can hope to make a sue
Cessful assault"
The Times in an article from the pen OF a
military expert laments the dispersion OF
the British forces, quotes the maxim of Ma
poleon in favor of concentration and regrets
Orange river a week ago.
The latest dispatches received seem to
show that the British forces are standing on
the defensive at all points. General Butler
is ordering the troops now arriving at Cape
town to proceed to Durham to reinforce the
Natal column. Absence of news from him
has led to surmise that he is trying to
join General White by flank movement.

LAWTON'S BODY At MANILA

Body of Cavalry.
FOUND NECESSARY TO BRIDGE THE RIVER

MANILA, Dec. eos p m..-Major General
Lawtons body was brought from San Meteo
to Manila, this afternoon his STAFF and
body OF cavalry acting as escort. 1t was
found necessary to bridge the river.
The funeral will take place from his late
residence here, mansion formerly occupied
by Spanish general.
The body has been placed temporarily in
vault in El Paco cemetery. where many OF
the American soldiers have been Inferred
and a guard of honor will be maintained
When Mrs. Lawton and her four children
have completed their arrangements for re-
turning to the United States the remains will
be taken on a transport with an escort of
officers for final interment, as is thought
probable here, in Arlington cemetery
General Lawtons death has caused unver-
sal sorrow in Manila. No American officer
had greater popularity among all ranks and
in his dealings with the natives he COM
manded their respect and confidence to a
remarkable degree. The mayors whom he
installed in the neighboring towns are ar
ranging to attend the funeral in a body.
To his executive ability and personal lead
ership is chiefly due the brilliant eXecu-
tion of the plan of campaign in north Luzon,
which has scattered the insurrectionary
forces from San Isidro to the Gulf of Lin
gayen. Inat section OF the island which
had to be traversed during the very worst
season of the year presented difficulties con-
sdered by all acquainted with it to be al
most insurmountable. but General Lawton
thoroughly covered the program assigned
him.
When he reached Tayug and found that
the other division had not arrived he went
through to Dagupan on his own RESPONSE
bility. Although he imposed great hard
ships on his men he invariably shared their
lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans, including three Off
GERS, were wounded in the engagement at
San Mateo, where General Lawton was
killed. Captain Breckenridges wound Is
not considered dangerous, although the
bullet penetrated his arm and side.
1t is estimated that the insurgents num-

SANTIAGO. Cuba, Dee. 2O,-Yellow fever

the epidemic last summer many hundreds
OF American soldiers and civilians were

building had been made during the last
four days. DR.. Herman, the commandant

BRITISH ARE HIRING GERMANS
Agents for England Busy in Rural
Districts Securing Veterans for
south Africa.

BERLIN, Dec. 2O.-Despite repeated Brit
ish denials it seems to be fact that British
agents are busy in many of the rural dis
tricts Of Germany hiring veterans for serv-
ice in South Africa. Several well-authen-
tcated cases have been reported this week
but the following incident seems conclu-
sive:
The district court of Hamburg has just
issued an order for the arrest of a British
agent named York for hiring number of
German peasants in the neighborhood for
military service, which under the imperial
law is a criminal offense.
There is nothing, however, to interfere
with Herr Krupp in the manufacture OF
steel shells for the British army. An
Essen local paper announces that 25,OCO
such shells are being made on a rush
order and men are working night and day on
tho order.
The German Turner societies will addres
a petition to the reichstag asking an amend
ment to the law so as to compel the one
year volunteers before their admission to
the army to produce proofs of reasonable
proficiency in athletics.

land a cousin of former President Grover
Cleveland, was initiated into the mysteries
of the war tax in the Office of Internal
Revenue Collector Harkins today. The old
man is a manufacturer Of wine and leads a
secluded life in Buncombe county.
For some time reports have come to Col
lector Harkins that Mr.. Cleveland was
evading the revenue law by falling to affiX
a stamp to each bottle he put up. The COL
lector wrote the cld gentleman letter ask
ing him to come in and make an eXplana-
tion. Today Mr.. Cleveland answered in
person.
The collector put his case to his visitor,
informing him that the new law required a
stamp for every bottle ~ wine. The old
man was astounded In his seclusion he had
learned nothing of the law TO raise money
for prosecuting the war. and had gone on
innocently evading it, As soon as the case
was made clear to him, he made out
statement of back tax due by him, sworc
to it, paid the amount and bought a supply
of stamps for future use.

Their departure from Dublin was marked by
cheering crowds but the general made a
quiet entry into London. After going to a
private hotel he spent about an hour at the

But in spite of this and the multitude OF

Their Aoctby with Regard
to the War.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Dec. 2O.-(New York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram.) -" Peace
Sunday in War Time is the title of
solemn remonstrance and appeal issued by
Stead to the clergy of all denominations of
Great Britain. He beseeches those who are
at ease in Zion, who have been and are
dumb dogs and faithless shepherds of Israel
in the present crisis, to consider with
searching of the heart whether they, as
ministers of the Prince of Peace, have done
all in their power to avert the terrible
scourge of war.
1T may be your duty to slay your brother,
but that mournful duty Should never be
undertaken save in spirit of intense sor-
row and compassion. Above it stands
damned if it is waged in a spirit of ven
geance 1t is this which makes the apathy
of churches so absolutely amazing"
