TH[ D0[R INVADERS
Have Turned the Tide by Enter
ing Cape Colony.
NEWS CAUSES MUCH ANXIETY IN LONDON
General Kitchener Is Said to Have Demanded
Heavy Reinforcsments Pitched
Battle Seems Imminent.

London, Dec. 22.-The war office
last evening could give no information
regarding the reports OF Boer inva'
sion of Cape Colony. The officials ex.
pressed the opinion, however, that the
newspaper accounts were exaggerated
and that probably the troops who have
been employed in chasing General
Dewet will be diverted to deal with the
invaders. Having regard to the cus'
tomary methods OF the war office. this
can only be interpreted as confirming
the report.
Lord Kitchener, in the meantime,
keeps tight rein over the news, which
increases the public disquietude.
There is persistent rumor that he has
demanded heavy reinforcements.
According to the Daily Mail, private
kilograms received in London yester-
day depict the situation in Cape Colony
AS somewhat ominous. 1t seems that
the invading Beers are receiving con-
siderable assistance from the local
Dutch, and that the troops at the
disp ,sal of the British are not sufficient
. 10 COp6 WlUu EClAuus -
is believed that the government has at
last awakened to the seriousness of the
situation, and is making great efforts
to have Lord Kitchener supplied with
horses and mules.
The British losses at Nooitgedacht,
according to the official accounts, were
81 killed and wounded, with Al miss
ing and still unacconnted tor. 1t is re-
ported this afternoon that Genera
Knox has been forced to abandon thu
pursuit of General Dewet. owing to thu
situation created in Cape Colony by
the Beers crossing the Orange river
1t is said that 5000 republicans hav'
entered Cape Colony, and similar
number have reached Philipstown
The report adds that Dewet, will
about 1000 men, is northwest OF Lady
brand, and that an attack on Winbu'f
ia nom etarily expected.

sTlCKEL WILL BE HANGED.
Fate Of Sslf.C Confessed Castle Rock Assassin
Defense Was Hereditary Insanity.

Kalama, WASH. Dec. 2l.-"Guilty
az charged" was the verdict OF the
iury at $3.50 O'Clock tonight in the case
Of the state OF Washington against Mar
tin Stickel for the murder OF William
b. Shanklip.
Stickel is the most notorious and
cold blooded criminal ever tried in the
courts of Cowiitz county. A year ago
last Novem Der, William B. Shanklin
was killed at his home near Kelso,
and his house was burned over his
dead body. He was shot at night
while eating supper. The case was
shrouded in mystery, and no clew 10
the murderer could be obtained. On
the evening of November 20, 1900. Mr.:
and Mrs. Cornelius Knapp, an aged
couple, living near Castle Rock, were
killed while at the supper table in the
same manner as Shanklin was one year
before, 1t was evident that the same
man had committed both crimes.
Sheriff Kirby and Detective Sam SIM
mons traced the crime to Martin
Stickel, who lived on scow near the
mouth of the Cowlitz river. StlckeI
was arrested. He maintained his in
nocence until confronted with the fact
that his watch and keys had been lden'
titled as having belonged to Shanklln,
the murdered man. Then he made a
partial confession, and implicated his
neighbor, Ed Pierce.
After his preliminary trial, he was
taken to the Pierce county Jail for safe
keeping. There he joined the Saliva
ton Army and made full confession
admitting that he did the killing in
both the Shanklin and Knapp murders.
and that he was alone in the matter.
When arraigned in the superior court
today, on the advice OF his counsel he
pleaded not guilty, and his case was
tried upon the evidence. which was
overwhelmingly against him. The de-
Tense made al unsuccessful attempt tc
prove that the man had inherited
criminal disposition to the extent thai
he was not accountable for his actions
His mother testified that before hi
birth and during CESSATION she wa'
mad at everybody and that the chile
was born sick and was always an un
natural child. The jury was out bu

by Judge Miller to be hanged on a date

Wu TING ASKS FOR TRUCE
Requests United States to Refrain From
Sending Troops Into China.

Requests United States to Refrain From
Sending Troops Into China.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The chief de-
velopment in the Chinese situation was
the effort of the Chinese minister, WI
Ting Fang, to secure an armistice in
the operation of American troops until
LII Hung Chang could reach Peking and
bring about cessation of the disorder.
The proposition is rather a novel one
and is based upon representations of
the viceroys of the important provinces
Of the Yang-tse-K Kiang valley that they
can maintain order without the aid of
foreign troops and that the presence of
the foreigners would act merely as an
incentive to destroy order. Mr. WI
brought these representations to the
attention Of Secretary Hay, who con-
suited the president. The latter's de-
cision, as conveyed to the minister, was
that while the assurances of the vice.
roys for continued quiet was fully ap-
preciated, the United States could not
bind itself not to send it's forces to
points where disorder actually existed
and where the safety of our officials and
citizens was endangered. Technically
speaking, in the absence of state Of
war, this was not proposition of
,armistice, but high government officials
said it amounted practically to an offer
of armistice and refusal on the part
of the United States to make the ar
rangement.
