DEMOCRATS OBSERVATIONS.
Elliott Danforth Tells About His Trip

New York, Dec. 2s.-Elliott Dam
forth, chairman OF the democratic
state committee, returned to New
York yesterday after trip through
the south, during which he talked
with Senator James X. Jones, chair
man of the national committee. Yes
tcrday afternoon Mr.. Danforth gave
an Evening Post reporter the result
of his observations and some infor.

campaign. II found" he said, shat
the sentiment was generally in favor
of selecting some western city other
than Chicago MS the place OF holding
the national convention. II looks now
MS IL either Milwaukee or Kansas City
will secure the national convention.
also discovered that there is a gen.
eral feeling in favor of establishing
the headquarters of the national COM
mittee next year in Washington.

observed one thing which will be con-
sidercd OF particular interest in New
York namely, that none of the leaders
seemed disposed to insist on free sill

paign next year. They did not say
that they had abandoned the sixteen
to one idea, but they acknowledged
that the situation had changed since
1896, and that the dominating issues

AFRICAN SITUATION.
An Impression That Gen. Butler
Intends Another Attack.
DISPATCH FROM WINSTON CHUCHILL.
Con. Builer's Soldiers Have Complete Con
hdnncs In Tholr Commander, bat tho
Boers' Position seems IMPROBABLE
Dutch Coion,sts Hostile.

London, Dec. 2S.-Winston Church.
ills new arrival ut Chievely camp is
perhaps responsible for some over
coloring of the gravity of the situa-
ton, but all to-day's news conveys
the impression that Butler may be
intending another attack upon the
Boer position. Certainly the Beers
are not inactive. At both Modder
river and the Tugela they are said to
be strengthening their forces and cx-
tending defense works, which, in both
cases, IRE seemingly almost impreg-
nable.
Dispatches from Chicvely indicate
that Gen. Buffers forces will remobi-
lie at Frere before attempting an
other advance. Doubtless he would
be glad to retrieve the Colenso re-
verse before the arrival of Lord Rob-
crts, yet he is hardly likely to at
tempt another frontal attack. 1t is
more likely that he Is preparing to
strike should the Beers make any Of
fensive movement.
Mr.. Churchill's reference to Lady
smith may imply that the situation
of the garrison is more desperate
than had been supposed. The Beers
continue terrifying the hills COM
handing the town. Gen. White, how
ever, photographs that all was well in
Ladysmith on December &c.
Dispatches from Modder river rep
resent Dutch disaffection in Griqui-
land West us growing very serious.
In some towns the entire Dutch
population has joined the Beers.
The rebels have formed lager Mt
n point about 30 miles west of Mod
der river camp. 1t is also announced
that the Beers have raised the siege
of thurman and have all withdrawn
to Magersfontein.
Dispatch from Winston Churchill,
London, Dec. 2s.-The Morning
Post has received the following from
Mr.. Churchill, under date of Decem-
Der 90, telegraphed from Chievely
Camp, where he has arrived: "All
ranks have complete confidence in Sir
Redvers Butler, and there Is n stern
determination to succeed next time
ut all costs. A painful impression
was caused by the announcement OF
the change of commander-in-chief,
and the soldiers here nre resolved to
vindicate their trusted leader. The
situation, nevertheless. is difficult,
the Boer position being one of ex-
traordinary strength, with high hills
lined tier on tier with trenches and
galleries, rising from an almost I'M
fordable river and with smooth plain
in front. The enemy have all the
ranges marked, and many powerful
guns dominate the various points OF
tie river. while the drifts are COM
mandcd by converging musketry fire
from probably 10000 Beers. There
are 10 miles of wild. broken country
before reaching Ladysmith, which de-
mnnds early relief"

Washington, Dec. 27.--Secretary
Hay is informed through United

Spain thu: emigration to Cuba has
set in stroniy. The movement Is es-
pecially noticeable from the northern

year ago, following the evacuation Of
all Of these possessions by Spanish

greatly exceeds the former movement.

that the American flag flies does not
