Beers shelIed Ladysmith.

London, Jan. l.--During the night Of
December % Iadysmith and Chieveley
camp were in full communication, the
former reporting all well. While the sig
mailing was in progress the Beers at
tempted to muddle the messages with
flashlights from each extremity of their
long entrenched line.
The naval brigade took advantage of the
opportunity to shell the BOer positions,
which were plainly revealed by their own
lights.
The naval battery resumed the shelling
of the Boer trenches on the morning of
December 20, but their fire failed to elicit
any signs of life.
a dispatch from Cape Town, dated We'd
neaday, December u, announced that an
armored train had restored communicd-
ton with Dordrecht, where the Free State
flag had been hauled down and that the
Beers had been driven from the adjacent
hills to Stormberg.
The war office, when communicating
changed between the queen and the in
habltants OF Kimberley, stated that no
further news had been received up to that
hour, and nothing OF Importance has come
from other sources during the night.
The weeks sorties, skirmishes, recon
naisances and bombardments at various
points where the British and Beers con
front each other, so far as can be judged,
have had no effect upon the general stua-
ton at the seat of war, which is practical
ly the same as it was week ago.

SEIZURE Of AMERICAN GOODS.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT WRONG
Ambassador ChOate InNestlgateN-
Damages to he Obtnined--Protcct
American Rights-rhinls British
VIII Make Amends.

Washington, Jan. 4.--The state depart
ment has received from Ambassador
Choate at London, by cable, statement
OF the facts he had developed in cOnnec-
ton with the seizure by British warship'
OF American goods ON the three merchant
vessels, Beatrice, Mdrchona and MarlI
| The goods comprised not only flour, but
miscellaneous articles OF common trade
They We're shipped for Lorenzo Marquee
i'll British and German ships, but our oil
iicials contend that they were not subject
10 seizure They could not, however, lodge
representations on the subject until they
were possessed OF Il knowledge OF the facts,
and as soon as MI Choates statement
came to hand an instruction was cabled
to him to inform the British government
that we could not admit the right Of
seizure in these cases.
This is the preliminary step usually
taken in such negotiations. Next IN order
will be 4 report from our consular repre-
sentatiyes at Lorenzo Marquee respect
ing the present condition OF the seized
on detained goods and the damage su9-
tanned. The state department Is not yet
fully informed on these points, necessary
to the further presentation of the cases.
1t is not yet known just where the
goods are, on if they have all been seized,
or only in part. 1t will be the duty OF
our consular agent at Lorenzo Marquee
to ascertain and report these facts, and
he is now engaged in doing this under
the original instructions of the state de-
partment.
While the department is acting as it
promised i'll the beginning to firmly pro-
tcct all American rights OF trade, it Is
showing no unscemly haste III the presen-
tation of the case. The instruction to Mir.
Choate was not a demand for the release
of the goods, nor yet for indemnity; but
rather Il precautionary notice TO the Brit
ISL government TO save all our rights in
the case.
1t will be sufficient to initiate the settle
ment OF the matter by negotiation, the
state department having not the slight
est doubt that the British authorities VII
make full amends to the owners of the
goods when the facts are all laid before
them.

CaVfte Is Full of Rebels.

New York, Jan. 1.-The Worlds Hong
Kong special says:
1t is well known here that General Otis
is badly worried over the situation in
Cayite province. There are 2l,OOO on
gained insurgents in Cavite, and az many
peasants have rifles and are ready to take
shot at an American whenever the OBJ
Portunity is offered. Before General Law
tons death it had been planned that his
movement TO subjugate Cavite should be
pursued two weeks, or longer if necessary.
His death has had bad effect on the
troops, and the fighting since then, with
Its list OF American casualties, makes the
statement that the war is over absurd.
Negotiations are said to be in progress for
the surrender of the province. There has
been talk of this sort before, but negotia-
tons fell through. Ii they fail now, Otis,
1t Is thought, will depend upon American
success in the north and famine in the
south to bring about disposal of the
southern insurgents. No Manila paper is
allowed to criticise the administration or
to publish news from the United States
relative to the Philippine policy of that
government. The $50 reward brings in
few rifles. Outside OF the northern PROV
inces no one is safe without good sized
military escort.

RUSSIA VERSUS ENGLAND.
STARTLING STATEMENTS MADE
Threatens Occupation of Herat II
the British Take Over DeIagoa
Bay-May Lead to Another War
Secret Treaty Between England
and Germany.

New York, Dec. 30.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The announcement of the Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger that under the secret stfpula-
lions OF the treaty, Germany will take Por-
tugals Asiatic colonies and the territory
north OF Zambesi, and that England will
take Delagoa bay, is the most startling
news of the day. The authority is not Of
iicial, and the statement of the concerted
action OF the two powers against French
and Russian occupation must be accepted
with reserve until the foreign office con-
firms 1T. The alleged payment of 25,OO0,-
900 marks for Germany's share in this
territorial trade also seems doubtful. Some
disclosure OF this kind has been expected
in diplomatic circles for several weeks,
since the necessity for shutting off the
supplies of arms and ammunition for the
lransvaal has become apparent with the
prolongation of the war.
While the Russian press forecasts the
occupation OF Herat as the first conse-
quence OF their occupation of Delagoa bay,
the French journals are curious to know
what the Washington government will do
regarding the seizure of American vessels
by the British navy. Whatever the action
may be, the reports that Mr.. Choate has
interviewed in the matter are premature
and unfounded.
The British prize courts will, without
doubt, be allowed to do their work precise
y as the American prize courts operated
during the war with Spain. The questions
OF contraband of war and neutral rights
Wall be argued in due course. Russian and
French rmols that all neutral powers
will intervene ii England takes effective
measures for closing the back door against
the entrance OF contraband OF war into the
Iransvaal are colored by the general be-
Ile1 that there Is Il secret agreement with
Germany relating TO any emergency which
MAY arise on the east coast.

SpOkanes Won.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 3.-The Spokane
high school football team are champions
Of Washington. After defeating every
team in eastern Washington that would
play them, they came to Tacoma and de
feated, by score of S to o, the Tacoma
high school eleven, the victors OF western
Washington in their class, Fine team
work characterized the playing OF the Spo-
kane boys and won their victory. With
the state championship in the balance,
both teams played fair, hard game, and
both are eminently satisfied with the re-
suit. Spokanc's thorough practice work
for three months past, under Coach Hol-
cell, had put the team in splendid shape,
and though the local team played desper-
ately, they We're slowly but surely beaten
down. No one was injured on either side.
Spokane's victorious eleven will return
home with eolors flying high.

Gain in Surplus Reserve.

New York, Jan. 1.-The Financier says:
The statement of the New York clearing
house banks for the week ending Deem
Der 30 shows a further gain OF 1874 900
in surplus reserve, the total now standing
at Sll los ,075sA AS was the case during
the pres ious - all the cash gained by
the banks went TO swell excess reserve
since deposit requirements We're lesscned
by the >hrinkage in that item. The state
ment is favorable and indicates that in
fluX OF funds from the interior III the past
six days have been quite as heavy as
has been estimated. The loss OF gold to
Europe by saturdays steamer does not
count in the current exhibit, but the eX-
ports OF week ago figure to the full
extent. The outward flow therefore has
been almost made up by subsequent re-
eeipts and the gain in legal tenders repre-
oents the surplus shipment from the in
terror The banks have maintained their
position 50 far as cash is concerned, but
they have added little to their loaning
capacity.

of their purpose to do trst-class job.
A horse roller will be used after the
brick are laid. The contractors have
opened a camp at the foot Of Third

nine cars arrived the first OF the week
and teams are busy hauling them
where they are to be used. Ninety
five thousand more will be delivered
by October II. They look to be OF the
very best Nlzum make and are real
beauties. About 10000 brick in all
will be required, and as the manufac-
turer can not furnish them all until
the last week in November, the work
will not be completed until about De-
cember l. Main street will be paved
first, beginning at the corner OF Main

gotten from the bed Of the river. The
