FlLIPINos' HORRIBLE DEVICE.
Pitfalls With Sharpened Bamboo Poles
for Impaling the Unwary.

Pitfalls With Sharpened Bamboo Poles,
for Impaling the Unwary.
New York, Dec. IA special to
the Tribune from Washington says: In
the hospital reports which reached
the war department from Manila lie
chronicled the first casualty due to
falling into Tagal pitfall which con-
tanned the horrible device of bamboo
posts set firmly in the hole and sharp
ened at the top for the purpose of i'm
paling the unwsry. The American
troops have frequently found such
traps on the line of march, and espec-
tally in front of insurgent trenches.
Ordinarily the traps have been simply
deep holes in the jungle covered with
long grass, and although soldiers have
frequently fallen into them, no serious
injury has resulted. On October %,
when 45 men of company 1, Nineteenth
infantry. were engaged in q reconnois-
ance in chasing small band of Tagals
from some trenches, Private Peter Karl
plunged into such pit with its sharp
ened bamboos, and had his foot and
leg severely lacerated, which put him
out of service. Fortunately he did
not tumble headlong into the trap, for
if he had, in the opinion of the sur
geons, his wounds must certainly have
been fatal.

SAVED BY ARTILLERY
His Batteries Kept Gatacre
From Heavier Loss.
THE GUIDES NOT TRUSTWORTHY
British Set at An Impossible Task and
Against Superior Forces-Opin-
ions of the Press.

London, Dec. 13.-Later details re-
garding the disaster to General Cat
acres column show that but for the
magnificent work of the British artil-
lery the disaster would have been far
more extensive, as the incessant Boer
fire in the midst of repulsed infantry
ultimately led to disorder, which only
escaped developing into rout through
the batteries of artillery occupying sue
cessive positions, covering the retreat,
thus drawing portion of the Boer's
CALLING fire.
Apparently, the British were set at
an impossible task, and were treacher-
ously guided. After trying march
and being under arms 16 hours, they
attacked the wrong part of the Boer po-
sition, where the hill was impregnable,
and the burghers were estimated to
number 5000 men instead of 500, as
spies had reported. There is little in
the story to mitigate the immense hu-
initiation caused by the episode, which
as almost an exact counterpart of the
battle of Nicholson's Mex. The war
Office was besieged by anxious relatives
today, and successive editions of the
newspapers were eagerly scanned.
Men and women are 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 a most de-
pressing influence everywhere, not ex-
cepting the stock exchange, where
consols were at the lowest price in
many years, and South African securi-
ties slumped, not so much on account
of the military reverse, which is re-
trievable, but owing to profound appre-
hension as to its political effect. No
great surprise would now be felt in
Cape Colony's becoming afame from
end to end.

ENGLAND is DEPRESSED.
London Papers All Regard the Defea


London Papers All Regard the Defeat
as Most Serious One.
London, Dec. 13.-Discussing the
defeat of General Gatacre at Storm
berg, the Daily Mail says:
"Quite apart. from the loss of 900
fighting men, the unexpected Boer sue
cess will probably cause more gen.
eral and serious movement among the
Cape Dutch. The government must
promptly face this by the immediate
dispatch of further troops"
The Daily News says: "The reverse
General Gatacre has suffered is a sadly
emphatic commentary on the peculiar
difficulty of military operations in q
semi-disaffected country. The en-
emy's spies are everywhere, and no.
where can we rely confidently on any
counter information. General Gatacre
seems to have been completely trapped.
Of course he will Immediately be rein
forced"
The Daily Chronicle says: "There
is only too much reason for fear that
this is the worst illustration we have
had yet of inadequate equipment and
insufficient scouting. How far this
disaster was due to lack of judgment
on the spot and how far to lack of ar
tillery is not quite clear, but the pa
tient public cannot help reading that
General Methuen's victory at Modder
river was won by artillery reinforce
ment at the critical moment, and all
they would like to know is how many
times this particular lesson is to be
learned"
The Standard says: "The event is in
the highest degree deplorable. 1t
will tell against US unfavorably in the
Free State, among the colonial Dutch
and even among the natives. A great
deal of evidence has been accumulat-
ing during the past weeks to show how
deeply the colony, or at least the north
ern and western portions of it, are
honeycombed by dissatisfaction. Our
generals have to cope with rebel col
ony as we'll as hostile republics, and
must take measures TO lay their plans

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-In response
to an invitation to attend an anti-im-

Academy of Music, on the centennial
anniversary of the death of Washing
ton, December 4, the following letter
has been received from ex-Secretary OF

ton:
81 have q strong conviction that the
president erred in sending soldiers to
the Philippines to take possession of
their country. The United States had
wisely, as / think, assisted the Fill
pinoe in driving the Spaniards out OF
the Philippine islands, and should, /
think, have aided them in protecting
their country against all assaults. He
no doubt was advised to adopt the
measures taken, and all can do is to
express my regrets. Yours very truly.

Sympathy for the Boers.

Washington, Dec. 13.-An appeal by
Mason for an expression of sympathy
for the Transvaal republic In its war
with Great Britain was the feature of
the senate proceedings today. 1t was
the first formal address delivered in
the senate this session, and was listened
to with thoughtful attention by both
the members and by large gallery of
auditors. The resolution upon which
Mason based his address was referred
to the foreign relations committee.
Lodge, considering 1t too delicate
question in view of the position of this
government to pass upon without seri-
ous consideration. No business of i'm
portance was transacted by the senate.
