along the river side.
just Before Daybreak
the Highlanders arrived within 200
yards of the Boer entertainments, at
the foot of a hill. U~nsuspecting that
the Beers were in the vicinity. the
British were still marching quarter col
umn, in close order, when they met a
terrible fire from the TANKS and were
forced to retire with heavy loss.
The troops reformed under the shell
ter of some rising ground and gallant
ly held their position. Later, the Cor
dons arrived and the troops gradually
worked their way until within 800
yards of the Boer position, displaying
the greatest gallantry. In the mean
while, a naval gun at the Modder river,
the HowitZer batteries and the horse
artillery opened a terrific fire, ~enfilading
the trenches and searching every por-
ton of the Boer position. The Beer
guns were entirely silent. In the mean
while the Beers, on the open ground,
directly in front, moved with the object
of making a flank attack. But this
was frustrated by the guards and ar
tillery. The Beers recommended shell
ing in the evening, but no damage was
done. The British slept on their posi-
ton. 1t is expected that there will be
a renewal of the fighting tomorrow.
The losses on both sides were very
heavy.
LONDON, December 13.-Gen. Wau-
chope's death was deplored. A pathetic
circumstance was that Gen. Wauchope's
wife was among the inquirers at the
war office a few minutes before the tele-
gram announcing his death was posted.
LONDON, December 13.-Gen. Fores-
tier-Walker, telegraphing from Cape
Town at $3.50 p. m. to-day; sends the
following dispatch from Lord Methuen,
dated Modder River, Tuesday, Deem
Der II, 7:30 p. M:
"As the Beers occupied their trenches
strongly this morning, ! retired in per-
feet order here, where l am in secur-
ity.
81 have gathered from some of the
prisoners and from u men with the
ambulances, who talked with the Beers,
that the enemy's losses were terrible,
some corps being completely wiped out.
The Beers have been most kind to my
wounded"

BALTIMORE. December 13.-Cardi-
nal Gibbons received this morning a
decree issued by the congregation Of
Rites at Rome, in which Pope Leo XIII.
grants the privilege of celebrating a
midnight mass on December 81. A let
ter accompanied the decree sent to the

"The Holy Father grants the privi-

Repulsed.

PRETORIA, December 11.-An Off
cial report says: "A battle at Modder
river began yesterday with cannon fir
ing, heavy fighting proceeding from
$3.50 O'Clock in the morning until $50
O'Clock, with cannon, Maxims and
rifles. A bombardment began at 4:30
o'clock and the fighting still continues.
A balloon arose above the British posi-
tons where it remained ten minutes
and descended. There were heavy
rains during the night.
At 9 o'clock this morning a further
report was received from Modder river.
A dispatch rider brought word that
all the Beers positions had been main
tanned and that Al British prisoners
had been taken. At $50 o'clock it
was reported that the heavy cannon
fire had somewhat abated. The British
are constantly using their balloon. The
fighting was still going on at noon.

Day of HumiIiation-No Reliable
Estimate of Losses.
LONDON, December 14.-4:45 a. NJ
Each important battle seems to bring a
worse reverse for the British and the
papers this morning sorrowfully adj
NIT that Lord Methuen's check at Ma
~gersfontein is the most serious event
the war has yet produced. The Morn
ing Post says:
I'VE have had our day humiliation
appointed for us. Let US accept it
humbly and soberly, and be better and
stronger for the lesson it has taght
us. This last reverse will make us a
fresh butt of Europe. There never was
a more apt occasion to prove to Europe
what we are worth"
The position Lord Methuen assaulted
is thus described by the correspond
ent:
"Magersfontein range terminates on
the west with an abrupt saddle rock.
some one hundred and fifty feet high.
Boer entertainments run around the
whole front. The position is some two
miles long, due east to west. The
ends of the trenches follow
the contour Of the kopjes and afford a
retreat"
1t is estimated here that Lord Me-
thuen's forces amounted to II, 900 men
and perhaps more No reliable esti-
mate of his losses has yet been re-
ceived. They are believed to have been
at least 450.

THIS is not the time to announce TO
the world that the people of the Unit
ed States are divided on any question
of national policy to be followed in our
possessions across the Pacific. There
is honest difference of opinion, and
there is no particular objection to clt1-
zens expressing themselves in any way
they see fit as in opposition to any gen
eral movement to acquire territory
across the oceans. OF course there is
no such intention dreamed OF by any
public man. But even
spectres are meat for some men. This
admitted, there can be no possible ex-
cuse for any citizen who loves his
country and wants to see her always
honored, respected, and feared at
home and abroad, to denounce the ad-
ministration. show to the world the
spectacle of a nation divided against
itself while engaged in war, and
thus give definite and measurable aid
to the enemies of the country, encour-
aging them to oppose hopelessly our
armies and kill our soldiers. The FL
lipinos are the aggressors. They must
sue for peace.

WHAT is ''imperialism?" What is

hearts of some of our brothers? 1t is
merely man of straw that the oppon-
ents of the administration have set up
for political effect. It is bugaboo'
as uncomfortable as the awful calam-
ity Bryan predicted If the gold
standard were retained. The word is
Bryan's. He has adopted it as cam
paign slogan, and it means rather less
than most of his demaRoguery. The
word as defined in the Century diction
ary is related to ''imperial," and ''im-
perial'' to- ''emperor, and emperor
means one-man-rule. In this country
the people rule, the:executive is unde
niably at all times answerable to the
people, and there can be no one man
rule without their full consent. Thus
there can be no "imperialism.' It is
the device of fools to conjure up spec
tire to fright the man of war. 1t is the
device of demagogues to juggle mystic
rious words in the attempt to BAN
boozle voters. Bryan himself could
bot say what he means by Imperial
sm." His followers like the sound of

LET it be remembered that resolu-
lions, no matter how drastic or how
strongly denunciatory of the adminis-
tration, will not swerve the president
from his course by the breadth OF q
hair. Nevertheless, the fact that the
president h as not the support of the
whole people in the conduct of trans
oceanic war will be made known to all
the world. 1t will encourage the FL
lipinos to continue q hopeless war with
all its useless carnage, and it
will cause the United States to
lose in the eyes Of the world much of
the prestige which it gained by its
magnificent work during the Spanish
war. Let our people not forget for an

will have to answer to the people for
all it's acts very soon, and until then.
