CUBAN COLONIZATION
The First Contingent Will Leave for
 the Island Today.

New York, Dec. 22.-According to the announcement of General Paul Van Der Voort of Omaha, who has been engaged for several months past in organizing parties for colonizing Cuba, the first batch of colonists will sail from this city tomorrow for the scene of their future homes. It is the inten- tion of the promoters of the movement to colonize a large section of the north ern shore of the province of Santiago de Cuba.
 The colonists will locate on tracts of land ranging from five to forty acres each, the greater part of the land be- ing covered with valuable timber. The first party to sail is said to comprise several hundred men of various trades from all sections of the country, but principally from the west.

WHAT OUR OFFICERS SAY.
British Are Using Tactics in Vogue at
 the Beginning of the Century.

Leavenworth. Kan, Dec. 22.-The surprised to see the way the Boers are outgeneraling the British, and some of them are commenting on it rather strongly. A cavalry officer said this morning: While there can be no crit icism as to the valor or excellence of the British officers and men, so far as we have been able to judge by news paper reports, the English show lack of progress in their tactics. One fault may be due to the fact that, within the last 100 years, with the possible ex- ception of the Crimean war, the Eng fish operations have been confined en- tirely to those against savage or par tially civilized peoples, whose close or der formations were of necessity all most wholly used.
 'The fact that in the last three prin- cipal engagements the English received the first fire in column or quarter col umn formation fully demonstrates the AhSt IHo-t d tlOSe IOrmdtlOn was used. Even partial successes. if they have been successes, have been due to gal lant charges on the part of Tommy Atkins with cold steel, which indicates close order and superior artillery prac- tice. There seems to be a Iamentable neglect in the use of the cavalry screen. Never do they throw out scouts well in front to protect an advancing column. It is strange to think that a column would be advancing without feelers in front and without having a good idea of the territory before them.
 "The British seem to be following the same tactics they used at Waterloo, hoping to open the battles in one, two, three order, first by a play with ar tillery, then an infantry charge. This method no longer holds good with in creased range and the flat trajectory of modern small arms. A general fights a battle as he finds it. He must know the country he is going to fight on, and more than all this, he must look on cavalry more as mounted infantry.

A COPPER LAW SUIT
An Effort to Close Down the Anaconda
 and Other Mines.

Salt Lake, Dec. 22.-A special to the Tribune from Butte, Mont, says the $2,OOO, ,O0O damage and injunction suit brought on Wednesday by Burdette O'Connor against the Anaconda and Washoe Copper companies turns out to be the most astounding feature of the bitter litigation going on between the Montana Ore Purchasing company and the Amalgamated companies. The court is asked to restrain the defend- ants from mining on veins alleged to have their apeXes in the location called the Copper Trust" No suspicion of the real nature of the action can be gathered from the complaint itself, notwithstanding the extraordinary amount of damages demanded. The fact is. however, that it is no less a matter than an effort to close down the Anaconda, the St. Lawrence and the Never Sweat mines. A temporary re- straining order was issued by Judge Clancy and an order to show cause why the injunction should not be granted. The case was put over for hearing Jan uary 20.

GUESSING ABOUT METHUEN.

London, Dec. 22.-A dispatch from Cape Town dated Sunday, December F, says that General Methuen's pri- mary object in crossing the Modder river appears to have been to establish searchlight communication with Kim berley, which is believed to be still on full rations. Water in the mines is plentiful.
 In spite of their usual tactics, it is considered possible that the Boers have been compelled to assume the offensive the commanders having arranged for the disposition of forces and an ticipating difficulty in maintaining food supplies in the present positions. More over, it is said, that there is a growing desire among the Free Staters to re- turn home, which is testified to on many sides and may tend to find pre- cipitate action necessary on the pres ent BOer commander.
 In spite of the delay of General Me thuen in advancing he is regarded as largely the master of the situation and his entrenched position is believed to be unassaiIable.

THE LANDING
Its Celebration at Plymouth, Mass.
 Yesterday.

Plymouth, Mass, Dec. 22.- Plymouth folk today indulged in their annual holiday festivities in celebration of the double anniversary of the founding of the town and of the organization of the famous Standish Guards. one of the oldest military bodies in the United States. The celebration is not in strict accordance with the results of modern historical research, inasmuch as it is now declared that the landing of the Pilgrims occurred on December 21, in stead of one day later, as was general ly supposed up to q comparatively re- cent date. The historical old town of Plymouth has observed the 22d during more than two and a half centuries and as the custom is as firmly imbedded as is the famous Plymouth Rock, it is extremely doubtful if December 21 will ever be observed as forefathers' day in this neck O woods.

IA PAPER SUSPENDED
Until Things Get Settled in
 the Philippines.
A Filipino Journal at Manila En- gagged in Favoring Americans and Supporting the Administra- tion Stop by Provost Marshal.

Manila, Dec. 22.-A newspaper, the Democrata, the organ of a coterie of Filipinos, including the supreme court judges, favoring American control in the Philippines, tonight announces that it has been decided to suspend publica- tion.
 The editor says he has been directed by the provost marshal to retract cer- tain criticisms of the clerical methods adopted in regard to the management of schools, and adds: Recognizing the authority of the provost we have no recourse except to comply, and have decided to suspend publication until the present extraordinary conditions regarding press matters disappear. When we know what laws rule us; by whom we are judged. and to whose jur- isdiction press matters are amenable, the Democrata will reappear'' The paper has benerally been a warm sup porter of the administration.

HIS VOICE IS SILENT
Death of the Evangelist Dwight L.
 Moody.

East Northfield, Mass, Dec. 22.- Dwight L. Moody, the famous evange- list, died at noon today. It was only known by the members of his family and an immediate circle of friends that death would be the result of his illness. The cause of death was a gen. eral breaking down, due to overwork
 MT. Moody's heart had been weak for long time and eXertions put forth in connection with meetings in the west last month, brought on a collapse, from which he broke down in Kansas City.
 MT. Moody's fame as an evangelist had been worldwide for more than a quarter of a century. His great work began in 1S73 when associated with Ira D. Sankey, the famous singer, he visit ed England, Ireland and Scotland, and remained abroad two years. He was, however, closely identified with church work since 1856, when he went to Chicago, where he engaged with enthusiasm in missionary work among the poor and in less than year established a Sunday school with more than 1000 pupils. During the civil war he was employed by the Christian commission and subsequently by the Young Mems Christian associa- ton of Chicago as a lay missionary. A church was built for his converts and he became it's unordained pastor. In the fire of 1871 the church and MT. Moody's house and furniture were de- stroyed, but new and much larger church has since been erected.
 MT. Moody has published number of books, among them "The Second Com ing of Christ" 'The Way and the Word" Secret Power or the Secret of Success in Christian Life and Work" ''The Way to God and How to Find It."
 A number of collections of his ser mons have also been published. Among them are volumes entitled Great Joy" "To All People" Best Thoughts and Discourses," Arrows and Anecdotes" The last two men, tioned also contain a sketch of his life and work.
 MT. Moody was siXty-two years of age and was born in the town where he died. He visited Phoenix twice, the last time a year ago and conducted a series of meetings, at which much good was accomplished. In a recent letter to d friend here he expressed his pleas ant remembrance of his visit and a hope that his work might lead him this way again.

ORANGES IN THE VALLEY
Interesting Facts Concerning Grow
 ing Industry.

Much has been written in years gone by about the Salt River valley orange belt and the money to be made in the raising of citrus fruits in this locality. Columns have been devoted to careful estimates on the cost of the land, water and necessary care and on the cost of trees and the time that would necessarily elapse before returns could be expected. This was all true, and has brought good results, but the argu- ments were less convincing, perhaps, than are the entertaining little stories that relate not what can be done, but what has been done.
 Until recently, however, no other methods could be employed within the limits of truth and truth in advertising, as elsewhere. is the one virtue that well established, lays the groundwork for future prosperity.

INSULAR COMMERCE
Under the the Conditions of Three Years Ago the Trade of Our New Possessions Amounted to Hund- red Millions a Year A Grand Opening for the Cotton Industry in Sight.

Washington. Dec. 22.-(SpeciaL)-A hundred million dollars a year ap- pears to be the present market offered to the people of the United States by Cuba, Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Philippines, provided we are able to supply the normal demand in those islands for foreign products. This es- timate is based upon their actual con sumption in years of normal condi- tions. How rapidly this will increase remains to be seen, but if the exper- fence of the past year in Hawaii is an indication of what will happen else where the increase must be very rapid.
 The exports from the United States to Hawaii in the ten months of 1899 whose record is now complete are more than double those of the corresponding months of 1897 and nearly double those of the corresponding months of 1898. while to Cuba they promise to exceed in 1899 those of any preceding year, even surpassing that of the great re- ciprocity year 1893. when the exports to that island were double the average Of earlier years.
 More than one-half of the supplies which Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil ippines have received from other parts of the world in former years have been furnished them by Spain, and this fact has led to the preparation by the treasury bureau of statistics of a series of tables showing the exporta- tion of principal articles from Spain to each of these islands in 1896, the latest year in which commercial con- ditions in those islands were at all nor maj.
 According to these tables the market for cotton cloth in the Philippines amounted to $,915,S51, the total exports 4of Spain including cotton to those is lands S7,403,047. During that year Spain sold cotton fabrics to Porto Rico to the amount of $2,400, ,0O0; shoes, $1, ,03S, 4S5; all exports aggregating $7, ,26S, 49S. The exports to Cuba amount ed to s2,595, 1O3, the principal items of which were: Flour, s3,923OSS; mis- cellaneous manufactures, $3,54S, S,11S; shoes, leather, s3,329,2 ,204; sandals. $2, ,592, 667; firearms, $1,S06,712; wine. $1.43f 145; preserved food, s911, 1902; pa- per, $906, ,797.

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY
The End of a Christmas Service
 Rehearsal.

Quincy, H., Dec. 22.-An awful trag- edy resulted from the rehearsal of one of the classes at St. Francis school, of Christmas exercises this afternoon. There were fourteen little girls in the class and they represented different characters. Two of these appeared as lambs and wore white fleeces on their garments.
 One of them caught fire from an open gas stove and almost in an instant the whole ring of little ones was in flames. The Sisters of the school ran to the rescue and were badly burned. Six died almost instantly from burns and four of the survivors will die.

The British cavalryman off his horse is like a duck out of water. The Boers realize this fact, and with superior craftsmanship and extended formation have aimed rather at the horses at first, leaving the dismounted men to be picked off at their leisure. This was exemplified in the engagement at Tu- gela river, when, according to Buffers report, a British officer with three teams of six horses each undertook to rescue some of the endangered guns. Out of eighteen horses thirteen were killed, while only one driver was wounded.
 What is demanded in modern war fare is a close knowledge of the topo- graphy of the field of operations and the use of cavalry and scouts.
 Tn my opinion were American sol diers in place of the British the country would be well secuted. especially after the lesson at Santiago. In an open country such as South Africa presents deployment would be made beyond the reach of artillery fire. There would be no marching within 200 yards of the enemy's trenches in close order col umns. Some may say the very same thing was done at Santiago, but, re- member, the entire vicinity of that city was impenetrable for artillery and cavalry and even for the infantrymen, who had only narrow paths to travel with four men abreast and around dense undergrowth. The Boers realize the faulty tactics of the British.
 ''The chief beauty of the Boer cavalry is it's mobility and its ability to dis mount and fight when it goes into ac- tiOn. The British will have few chances to throw their superb cavalry on mounted Boers. They will certainly have no chance to encounter these troops in close formation order. The Boer knows the country. He is a good first water. He has perfected 6 mili- tary formation unknown to the world and possesses the best artillery that Germany and France produce He has combined great mobility with su- perior use of modern long range guns of large caliber.
 The British, in order to be more sue cessful, will find it necessary to adopt the very same tactics against the Boers-use cavalry, send it quickly from one place to another and make the men get off their horses and fight. They must develop commanders who can have forces here and there and everywhere within a time limit. and. above all, men to quickly follow up every advantage.
 'The struggle seems to just have about begun, and many millions of dollars and hundreds of lives will be sacrificed before Great Britain can hope to gain the desired end in South Africa. It would not be surprising if the Boers should be successful in de- lending their country from invasion The state of affairs is somewhat sim liar to that at the opening of the Amer ican revolution. In that war Great Britain used the close formation method of fighting, and the one, two, three or der, while they were opposed by sol diers who fought in open order, were good marksmen and were in a country they knew"
