INQUIRY INTO BOOz CASE.
Cadets Hobson, Sheridan and Brooke
Among the witnesses.

West Point, N. Y, Dec. 19.-There
was some very interesting testimony
brought out by the court of inquiry
which is investigating the alleged haz-
ing of Cadet Booz at the military acad-
emy here to-day.
Thirty-fiv cadets were examined
during the morning and afternoon ses-
sions and of these one was the brother
of Lieutenant r. p. Hobson, of Merri-
mac fame, another was the son of Gem
eral Phil Sheridan, and third, Mark
Brooke, of Pennsylvania, Is nephew
of General Brooke, who is the presiding
officer of the court. There are about
score more of Boozs classmates to be
examined and as there are several of
the first class men to be heard from as
we'll as some of the officers the court
may not get through the taking of tes-
timony until Saturday.
The testimony was along the same
lines as given yesterday. Most of the
cadets stated that Booz was not held
in esteem by his schoolnates on ac-
count of his alleged coWardice in the
fight with an upper classman. The
same hazing practices as given yester-
day We're again testified to.

A Revolution and Plan to Attack All
Americans.


New York, Dec. ia second cable
gram was this afternoon received by
Vice President Avery d. Andrews of
the National Asphalt company concern
ing the revolution which has broken
out in Venezuela. This second cable
gram asserts that the situation is ex-
tremely desperate as regards Americans
and their property in the South Anleri-
can republic The message is urgent in
it's appeal for immediate action by the
United States for the protection of
Americans whose lives and properties
are imminently endangered. A general
attack, the cablegram says, is being
planned upon all American interests in
Venezuela, and if succor in the prompt
dispatch of warships by the United
States government is not forthcoming
at once the results may prove disas-
trous. The cablegram is dated from
Caracas and goes on to say that the
revolution has been engendered by the
fight between the National Asphalt
company and its rivals for the possess
sion of the Bermudez asphalt lake.

KITCH ENER rs MUM.
Keeps Tight Rein Over News-Chase of
DeWet Probably Abandoned


London, Dec. 20.-The war Office last
evening could give no information re-
garding the reports Of Boer invasion
of Cape Colony. The officials expressed
the opihlon, however, that the news
paper accounts were exaggerated and
that probably the troops who have been
employed in chasing General De Wet
will be diverted to deal with the in
vaders.
Lord Kitchener keeps tight rein
over the news, which increa ses the pub
lie disquietude. There is a persistent
rumor that h has demanded heavy re-
inforcments.
According to the Daily Mail, private
kilograms received in London yesterday
depict the situation in Cape Colony as
somewhat ominous. 1t seems that the
invading Beers are receiving considera-
BILE assistance from the local Dutch and
that the troops at the disposal of the
British authorities are not sufficient to
cope with any serious spread of the
military operations.
1t is believed that the government has
at last awakened to the seriousness of
the situation and Is making the utmost
efforts to provide Lord Kitchener with
horses and mules.
The British losses at Nooigadacht ac-
cording to the official counts were
eighty-two killed and wounded with
forty-four missing and still unaccount-
ed for

Washington, Dec. 19.-The board on

its report although lacking as it does
the signature of one absent member, it
is still subject to change. By to-day's
arrangement the Pacific coast gets only
two ships, both armored cruisers, one
sheathed and one unsheathed and these
go to the Union Iron Works. Cramp
holds on to the number allotted to him
yesterday one sheathed cruiser, one
unsheathed cruiser, and one battleship.
Newport News also maintains her
quota at yesterdays standing, one
sheathed cruiser, one unsheathed
cruiser, and one sheathed battleship.
The Fore River Works of Quincy,
Mass, are scheduled for two un-
sheathed battleships. and Bath is set
down for one sheathed battleship.

9 o'clock tonight regarding the agree

Pekin this evening as to the terms OF
the jojot Chinese note, the officials con-

correct and that the way has now been
paved for it's formal presentation to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries. The officials
here are unable to say just what the
British notifications referred to in the
Pekin dispatch are, but it is believed
they rested upon the exclusion of the
"irrevocable" clause which this govern
ment has all along insisted must not
appear in the preamble to the note. Of
ficials here still decline to make public
the text Of the note agreed upon, but
it is believed that tho following points
cover the essential features of the
agreement:
The punishment of the officials guilty
of the Boxer outrages; the payment of
t,,I he inf or fn6 hy
the Boxers to the persons, corporations,
and societies which have suffered: the
revision of commercial treaties: some
reform in the Tsung Ii Yamen so that
the ministers having business with the
foreign office may transact it more ex-
and with a responsible head.
A monument to Baron Won Kettler,
the German minister, who was killed
in Pekin, and the appointment of a
prince of the blood to proceed to Ger
many to make formal apology to the
emperor for the crime.
The right to keep a legation guard in
Pekin, if this is desired.
The exclusion oc candidates for ex-
aminations for Office for a certain num-
Der of years in the case of those who
may be guilty of anti-foreign activity
An Introduction of Importation of
arms into China and of material to be
used exclusively in the mantufa cture of
arms. The taking of measures to pre-
vent future troubles. Some modifica-
ton, it is believed was made to the pro-
posed dismantling of forts so that here
after there will be nothing of this char
acter that will prevent ready access TO
the legation in Pekin.

NEW ARMY BILL REPORTED
Il COMPLETE SUBSTITUTE For THE
HOUSE BIEASURE.

Unanimously Agreed Upon by Senate
Military Affairs Commtttee-Cantee
of Beer-Present Regimental Organi-
zation Observation-Disclosures of Ma
tive Troops in Porto Rico and the
Philippines AIIowed--Army to Num-
Der 100000.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The senate
committee on military affairs late this
afternoon unanimously agreed on an
army reorganization bill which is a
complete substitute for the house
measure. The subcommittee first re-
ported the bill and later the entire COM
mittee agreed to it. The most import
ant change Is the retention of the pres
ent regimental organization of tine ar
tillery instead of the corps organiza-
tion proposed by Secretary Root and
accepted by the House. The House
canteen provision was amended so as
to permit the sale of beer at the can
teens. This exception was made by
omitting the word beer from the pro-
hibited articles. Senator Harris made
an effort to have the canteen provision
extended to the city of Manila, so as to
prohibit entirely the sale of liquors in
that city, but failed.
The provision of the new bill regard
ing the general organization and scope
of the army is as follows:
That from and after the approval of
this bill the army of the United States,
including the existing organizations,
shall consist of fifteen regiments of
cavalry, twelve regiments of artillery,
thirty regiments of infantry, one lieu
tenant general six major generals
fifteen brigadier generals an adjutant
generals department, an inspector gen.
