Holidays.

The holest OF all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves In silence and apart:
The secret anniversaries of the heart,
When the full river OF feeling overhows;
The happy days unclouded to their close:
The sudden joys that out OF darkness start
AS flames from ashes: swift desires that dart
Like swallows singing down each wind that
blows
White the cloud that floats and fade in air.
White as the whitest lily on stream.
These tender memories are; fairy tale
OF some enchan}ed land We know MT where.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Col. Greeuleaf Cables Confirming the Ru.
! NOR of BubOnic Plague in Manila
Efforts to Stamp It Out

Washington, Jan. 9.-The plague
has broken out in Manila beyond a
doubt. as appears from the following
cablegram received by Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg: Manila, Jan. g.
Three bubonic natives The signer
is Col. Greenleaf, assistant surgeon
general and chief surgeon in the Phil
ippines.
The first effect will probably be to
have quarantine laid upon all ship
ping coming from Manila. The town
will be placed under the most rigid
sanitary regulations, and this work
will be undertaken by Col. Greenleaf,
pending the arrival at Manila of the
marine hospital service officers now
on the way. Gen. Sternberg says he
has no doubt that the disease will
soon be stamped out. 1t is noted that
the cases of the plague reported are
confined to the native class, and it is
said that that has been the case in
most of the cities of Asia where the
disease has appeared.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 9.-Republican
leaders, who are on confidential terms
with Gov. Taylor, int:mated that
the republican contestees may not
quit the fight in the event the legisla-
ture and the state contest board vote
to seat Goebel as governor and the
other democratic contestants. They
have by no means given up hope that
they will win in the legislature, but
are taking time by the forelock and
are looking around for other moves in
case Goebel should win. 1t is general
ly believed they will seek to raise a
federal question and take the case into
the United States supreme court.

BUBONIC PLAGUE IN MANILA.
Six Cases and Four Deaths-PreparatiOn

ture q Trooper aud Three Horses.

Manila, Jan. 9.-The bubonic plague
is yet sporadic. There have been six
cases and four deaths. Preparations
are being made to establish hospitals
and quarantining. Great numbers of
provincial natives are coming to Ma
Mia, with the result that the city is
overcrowded, the increase in accom-
modations being inadequate, and the
rice necessary for food stuffs is more
expensive than at any period during
the last IL years. The plague is dam
gerous to the overcrowded, under-fed
and unwashed natives and Cinnamon.
Americans avoiding direct contact
with the disease are safe.

BRITISH VICTORY CONFIRMED.
At the Point of tho Bayonet the Boers
Were Driven from WagOnhiil
with Heavy Loss.

London, Jan 9.-It was not until
the middle of the afternoon that there
was an official confirmation forth
coming of Frere Camp rumors of Gen.
Whites success at Ladysmith. But
at 3:4O p. M, the war office relieved
the extreme tension of the waiting
crowds by posting the following dis
patch from the front:
An attack was commenced on my po-
sition Sunday. but was chiefly against
Caesars camp and Wagonhill. The en-
envy was in great strength ard had
pushed the attack with the greatest cour-
age and energy. Some OF the entrench-
ments on Wagonhill were three times
taken by the enemy and re-taken by us.
The attack continued until 7:30 p. m. One
point in our position was occupied by the
enemy the whole day. But at dusk. in
very heavy rainstorm, they were turned
out of this position at the point of the
bayonet. in a most gallant manner. by the
Devons, led by Col Park. Col. Ian Ham
ilton commanded on Wagonhill. and rem
dered valuable service. The troops have
had a very trying time and have behaved
excellently. They are elated at the serv-
Ice they have rendered the queen. The
enemy were repulsed everywhere with
very heavy loss. greatly exceeding that
on my side. which will be reported as
soon as the lists are completed.
kilograms from Rensburg say seven
officers and 30 men of the Suffolks
were killed and that about so were
captured. Gen. Frencil's- announce
ment that the Essex regiment has
been sent to replace his Suffolks is
more bitter to the latter's friends
than the list of casualties, as the only
Inference deducible from this fac is
that the Suffolks disgraced them
selves and their flag by boiling and
leaving a few of their more staupch
comrades to fill the Pretoria jails.
q Lord De La War;, in a graphic de-
scription of the battle of Magersfcn-
tein says:
1t is useless to disguise that a large per-
centage of the troops are losing heart for
a campaign comprised of a succession of
frontal attacks on an invisible foe. Sc
curely entrenched and unreachable. Our
men fought admirably but they were
asked to perform miracles. Don't blame
them and don't blame the gallant gen.
eral, who was the first victim of the ter
rible disaster which overcome the High
land brigade. They marched in quarter
column to their doom. Gen. Wauchope's
last words: "For Gods sake, men, do
not blame me for this" will gladden. the
hearts of his numberless friends. There
was no accord between Gen. Methuen and
Gen. Wauchope in regard to the best
method of attack. Gen. Methuen's plan
prevailed. and the mistake lost 700 men.
