Kitchener,s Task.

New York, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Little light is thrown upon the mill
tary situation in Cape Colony by the
official and press dispatches. The sys-
tenn Of railway and wire communica-
tons has evidently been thrown out of
gear by the BOer invasion, but no i'm
pOrtant town or station has been occu-
pied and the raiders are not in suffi-
Gent force TO accom- lISh any useful re-
suit There is the worst possible wealth
er, not only for military operations, but
also for ordinary railway traffic, for
the rains are inCessant, the rivers are
at flood. and drifts are impossible. One
body of raiders is reported in Zuur-
berg and another is moving toward
Prleska, after cutting a wide circuit
but there IS no evidence that all these
rough riders in the east and west
number more than 1000 if they are so
many. The pursuit of them is difficult
when they are ready to break up into
small squads whenever they are men
aCed with attack. Lord Kitchener
needs SineWs Of iron ana nerves of
steel in order TO endure the inceSSant
strain of campaigning of this kind. but
the force of his VIII and energy is felt
wherever he goes. Whatever alarm
there was in Cape Colony was dispelled
when it was known that ne was per-
sonalIy directing the operations at De
Aar and NauWpooTt.
There is a tendency to credit the Cane
Town report that a squadron of yeo-
manry has been entrapped by the Beers
in Cape Colony. Lord Kitchener in re-
porting yesterday the reOccupatiOn of
BritStOWn by ThOrueyCTOftS mounted
infantry, mentioned that the retreat
ing commanders were being followed
up From today's news it would seem
that the GlamOrgan and Gloucester
yeOmanry were detailed for that pur-
pose, and after smart action they
were captured

Thrilling Narrative of Capture of
Boxers and Escape.
San Francisco, Dec. 27-Rev. Father
John Weig, a Catholic missionary who
went through the recent Boxer troubles
in China, and escaped after a series of
desperate experiences. is in san Fran
cisco on his way to his former home in
Bavaria. He WAS stationed in south
ern Shan Tung, and sixty native vii
layers were under his charge. When
the Boxers began their murdeFOus cam
paign, he received a peTemptOry order
to get out of the country. He decided to
make his way to KiaO ChaO. and start
ed for the grand canal. He was accom-
panied by one native servant, and the
native head man gave him protection
until he reached the canal. He secured
smaI junk and at once embarked on
his long journey. He had not gone far
before ne fell into the hands of Boxers,
who robbed him of his clothing and
money. He was then attacked with ty-
phOid fever, and while desperately sick
fell into the hands of q second band of
Boxers. They threatened to bind him
up and deliver him over to the author
tiles, but finally permitted him to go.

of the South African field force. General
Colville refuses to resign and is now
, on his way to England. The news is
all the more startling as the question
Of General COlVille's responsibility for
the yeomanry disaster at Lindlay last
May was fully investigated by the au-
thorities when General Colville re-
turned from South Africa last summer.
After the inquiry General COlville was
relnstated in his command at Gibraltar
in September last. The attitude of the
war offiee indicates that a new regime
in Pail Mall will reverse the decisions
of Lord LansdOwne and Lord WOlse-
ley in regard to some of the recent
commanders in South Africa General
Colville. like General Methuen, has al
ways been a grea social parsonage in

CASE INVOL WING MOUNTAIN FREIGHT
RATES IS SOON TO Be DECIDED

that there should not be so wide a diff
ference as at present between the rates
on carload lots of their goods and
smaller lots. The difference amounts
in some cases to nearly 100 per cent, the
rate per 100 pounds in small lots
amounting to nearly twice the rate on
carload lots.
The freight rates between the two
oceans are involved, because of the
uniformity of rate on carload lots from
New York to San Francisco and from
St Louis TO San Francisco. The re-
markable fact that the New York rate
is no higher than the St. Louis rate,
in spite Of the thousand miles or more
of difference in distance is due to the
water competition around Cape Horn.
The complaint is made by St. Louis
shippers that they cannot ship retail
cOnsignments to patrons in the Rocky
mountain district so cheaply as car
load lots can be shipped to San Fran
cisco jobbers ana shipped by them east
in small lots TO their local patrons. This
gives the New York shippers, accord
ing to the St. Louis line of argument,
a distinct advantage.

London, Dec Is, a. m.-The latest
dispatches from South Africa show tha-
Lord Kitchener has succeeded in hold
ing the Beers in check. but he has not
yet been successful in expelling them
from Cape Colony, while different COM
mandoes continue to display astonish-
ing activity over an immensely wide
field.
It is questionable whether his proc
lamatiOn viii have much effect until
General Dewet has been captured. The
Beers are likely to regard it as d sign
of weakness and to have a wholesome
dread Of vengeance if Ihey surrender
The proclamation is approved by the
party at home that favOTs conciliatory
terms TO the Beers. as a step in the
right direction.
Queen Victoria, it is said, has aD-
proved the proposal to institute new
order of knighthood to reward officers
who have served in South Africa. The
order VIII probably be called the Star
of Africa
A dispatch from VTyberg, dated Dec.
20, says that Beers in considerabI
numbers We're making a movement
westward. They had $50 wagons. The
dispatches suggest that they were
trekking to DamaTaland, although the
Beers themselves denied any such in
tentiOn.
