ARRIVAL OF EoWITzERs.
English Will Fight the Beers With
Lyddits Shells Now.

New York, Dec. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The first
six of the eighteen Howitzers sent from
England after an ireXpiicable delay on
slow transports, arrived several days
ago at Cape Town. and as there is no
record of these trans-sh.p Eents TO Dur
ban, it is probable that they have gone
up the country to Lord Methuen al
though it is not known whether they
passed Gras Pan before the railway
was cut by the raiders. The remain
ing twelve have gone TO Durham, where
they will probably be lar6ed on Tues
day.
These guns are equal TO the best ar
tillery in the possession of the Beers
and are capable of discharging at long
range Lyddite shells of fifty pounds.
1t was worth while for beth General
Butler and General Methuen to wait
for these powerful guns, with their
ammunition, even if there were seri--
Gus risks to the safety Of the beieaguer-
ed garrisons from the delay, since
the effect Of the British, artillery fire
against both Colenso' and Spytfontein
would be greatly increased by Lyodite
shells The expediency OF delay on the
part of both generals does not alter
the fact that somebody Numbered in
the war Office in not sending out the
lest and fastest ships.
Lydaite shells were used with ire
mendous effect at the battle of On
durham. General Butler was person.
ally responsible for their Introduction
in the British military service when he
was adjutant general. He cons .dered
it nothing less than a scandal that the
British army should not be supplied
with high explosive shells. which Ger
many and France had adopted Owing
TO some reason which remains an Off
cial Lecret. these Howitzer batteries
were held back in England until the
Beers had dragged very heavy pieces
of artillery IT, tie battlefields ana siege
guns were cs.tclassing the British guns.
The Howitzer batteries started about
the time when General Joubert'S long
Tom was throwing into Ladysmith at
each shot a weight of metal equal to

Americans to Help Red Cross Work
In South Africa.

New York, Dec Am American
committee to aid Red Cross work in
the South African war, with special
reference to the wounded of both bellig-
erents within the Boer lines, has been
formed for the purpose of affording a
way by which the gifts of the Ameri-

surfing the prompt and effective use of
every dollar contributed, and will also
avail itself for such other means of
accomplishing it's object as may be de-
vised by the central Red Cross commit

The American committee has received
numerous offers from doctors and
nurses who have volunteered for SER
vice in South Africa. but these it has
been compelled to decline, as the COM
mittee does not undertake to send
either doctors or nurses to South
Africa, but merely to aid the Red Cross
work in that respect.
