the encounter the teacher was stabbed three

ARTILLERY SAVES A R0Ur
Covers the Retreat of the Thoroughly
Disorganized Infantry-Disns-
ter Has Depressing Effect.

LONDON. Dec. 11.-Later details regard
ing the disaster to General Gatacre's column
show that but for the magnificent work of
the British artillery the disaster would
have been far more extensive, as the inces-
SAINT Boer shell fire in the midst of the
repulsed infantry ultimately led to disor-
der, which only escaped developing into a
rout through the batteries of artillery oc-
cupyng successive positions covering the
retreat thus drawing portion of the Beers
CALLING fire.
Apparently the British were set an i'm
possible task and were treacherously guided.
After trying march and being under arms
sixteen hours they attacked the wrong part
of the Boer position, where the hill was
impregnable and the burghers were esti-
mated to number 5000 men instead of $500,
as the spies had reported.
There is little in the story to mitigate the
intense humiliation opcasioned by the epi-
sode, which was almost an exact counter
part of the battle of Nicholsons mex
The War office was besieged with anxious
relatives, and the successive editions of the
newspapers were eagerly scanned. Men and
women were equally persistent in pleading
for information, but the authorities either
do not possess any or are not prepared to
publish it at present. The affair has caused
not excepting the stock exchange, where
consols were at the lowest price in many
years and South African securities slumped,
not so much on account of the military re-
verse, which Is retrievable, but owing to the
profound apprehension as to its political
effect. No great surprise would now be felt
if General Gatacres reverse resulted in
Cape Colony becoming afame from end to
end.
The afternoon newspapers, like the morn
ing papers, withhold the apportionment of
blame until they are further acquainted with
the facts, and take the reverse philosoph-
ically.
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks: 1.-THE
country'S calm will again surprise the con-
tinent. If the blow is more serious than it
appears neither the crown nor the ministry
will be in danger of even a single seditious,
vilifying howl in the street. We have con-
fidence in those who are fighting for us and
in their directors"
The queen has sent her private secretary,
Sir Arthur Bigge, specially from Windsor
castle to CLEAN full details at the war office
for her majesty respecting General Gatacre's s
reverse.

POPE FAVORS THE FAITHFUL
Catholics Given nn Unusual Privilege
in Connection with Celebration
of the Year 1000.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Mgr Martinelli
has Just received from Rome a document
il which the pope grants to the Catholics
of the world an unusual privilege in con-
nection with the celebration of the year
1900 1t concludes as follows:
Therefore, in order that the year 1900,
which is about to begin and which, it Is
to be devoutly hoped, will usher in a far
more happy century may by the aid OF
God and of His only begotten Son, our
Savior, have an auspicious opening and may
close after prosperous course His holi-
ness, Pope Leo XIII. graciously grants that
on the 3lst of December, both of the year
which is now ending and of the year about
to begin, at midnight, in churches and
ckapels where the most holy eucharist Is
kept according to the prudent judgment
of the ordinary the most august sacrament
may be exposed for alteration; and he
grants also the permission to say or to sing,
in the presence of the eucharist thus eX-
posed and at that hour, one holy mass OF
the feast of the circumcision and the octave
of Christmas. Moreover, he grants to the
faithful the special privilege of receiving
holy communion at the same time, either
during or outside the celebration of the
mass"

LONDON Dec 11.-CNew York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram) 1.-THE Post mil
itary expert says: THE absence of further
news adds to the air of mystery that clings
about Gatacres action at Stormberg. Vari-
Gus accounts are forthcoming, but they all
conclude at point where our interest cul-
inmates. There either the knowledge of the
correspondent ceased or the blue pencil of
the censor began. How so large a proper
ton of the two regiments chiefly engaged
were captured by the enemy is impossible
to say. They had lost quite an insignificant
number in killed and wounded and the seri-
Gus character of the reverse can only be
accounted for by the fact that the men were
worn out. The column left Putter's Kraal
/ at midday Saturday and took the train for
Molteno, twenty-five miles up the line, leav-
! ing there at p. m. to cover on foot twelve
miles to the Boer position. The march
occupied seven hours. At 4:15 a. m. the
enemy's position was reached and the re-
treat began three hours later The troops
only took four hours in falling back to Mol
teno, thus being nearly twenty-four hours
on the move.
The men captured were probably dead
beat and could go no further. Other causes
which seem to have contributed to the re-
verse are that the enemy S lorCe appears
to have been entirely underestimated and
the operation attempted without sufficient re-
connaissance.
"Gatacres losses which, If the Boer re-
port of 672 prisoners is believed, must have
exceeded 700. This may oblige him to fall
back on Queenstown. For political rea-
sons, so retrograde a movement would
have to be deplored, but this is preferable
to risking further defeat. The unfortunate
reflection is that owing to hesitation in dis
patching Warren's division to the Cape,
scarcely man will be available for the
next ten days to reinforce Gatacre's col
umn,"

CHARGED WITH A ROBBERY
Former EmpIOye of the Pacific Ex-
press Company Placed Under
Arrest Mt Cheyenne.

CHEYENNE, Dec. n.-(Special Tele-
gram ED Neptune, an ex-employe of the
Pacific Express company, was arrested to-
day, charged with robbing the office of the
company in this city. Chief Canada OF
Omaha and Assistant Penrose of Denver of
the Union Pacific secret service arrived
here today and are at work on the case.
Neptune, who was formerly an express mes
senger from Omaha to Cheyenne and later
from Cheyenne to Ogden, denies the charges
against him and says he was at his home
at the time the robbery was committed on
Saturday night. He has engaged an attor-
ne7 and win fight the case. Neptune's home
has been searched for the missing money,
but without success.
1t is now officially reported that the rob-
ber carried away $4,000 in cash and $4,000
worth of money orders and other valuables.
The detectives say that Neptune was seen
in the vicinity of the express office a few
minutes prior to the time the robbery was
committed.

UNMAsK THE BOER POSITION
British Artillery Opens Tn aud
Succeeds i'm Locating the
Enemy.

MoDDER RIVER, Cape Colony, Sunday
Evening, Dec. 1O.--The naval 4.7-inch gun
again took up a position north of the camp
this afternoon. while the howitzer battery
was posted southeast of the left of the
Beers. Both opened hot fire with lyddite
shells and shrapnel, to which the Beers
sharply replied with dozen guns, thus un-
masking their position, which was the OBJ
ject OF the British maneuver. After an
hours fighting the Boer guns we're silenced.
The howitzers swept the trenches, and then
threw she'll after shell upon the hills, the
explosion of the lyddite causing the whole
ground over an extensive area to rise in the
air in dense, brown clouds.
Boer long gun was dismantled.
1t now appears that the Beers intend that
the next fight is to take place at Magers-
fontein. Apparently Speyfontein is not de-
Tended or the Beers are unwilling to un-
mask their position there as the replies to
the British artillery were all from guns at
Magersfonten.
