Cressinger, the murderer, who was
hanged last week, had been robbed.

of interment, and that an investi-

About the middle of December a
mad dog made its appearance in
the village OF Limestoneville, Mon
tour County, and bit Adam Phillips
on the hand, beside leaving its mark
on several CANNES, with which it
came i'll contact. Now the entire
population of the little town is in a
great state of excitement, as it is
not known how many or what dogs
were bitten. The wound on Mr..
Phillips hand has entirely healed,
but he is greatly worried, fearing
that he will become victim of the
terrible hydrophobia. Several dogs,
some valuable ones. have shown

disease, and wholesale slaughter
of the quadrupeds of the neighbor-
hood is likely to follow.

England Does Not Consider Bread.
stuffs Contraband.

London, Jan. 10.-The American flour
seized off Delagoa Bay has been re-
leased. United States Ambassador
Choate had an interview with the Mar
quis of Salisbury this afternoon and
received a verbal reply to the repre-
sensations of the Washington govern
ment.
The British note on this subject was
sent later to the United States en-
bassy. The gist of it was cabled to
Washington. In brief foodstuffS are
not considered contraband of war I'M
less intended for the enemy.
The foreign office only arrived at a
decision today, and it was not until
after Mr.. ChOate's interview with the
Marquis of Salisbury that a note en-
bodying the provisions was drawn up.
Several of the governments advisers
wanted to make a regulation regarding
canned goods. but this was decided to
be impracticable.
The decision to make flour and grain
in transit to the enemy contraband is
evidently hedged in by many difficult
ties of execution, but the foreign office
believes that investigation will gener-
ally determine whether the grain is
meant for consumption at Lourenzo
MARQUEE or in the Transvaal.
Mr.. Choate cabled Lord Salisbury's
note to the state department at Wash
ington tonight, and Colonel Hay is eX-
pected to reply accepting the terms.
The latter step was not taken by Mr.
Choate, as he had first to receive au-
thority from the state department to

PROCLAMATION OF THE IRISH
Want United States to Offer Sym
pathy to Beers.


Washington, Jan. THE national Of
ficers of the Ancient Order of Hiberni-
ans met in this city today and issued
the following statement to the public:
The national officers met in Wash
ington to discuss a demand on the part
of the majority of the representatives
Of our 10000 members that the order
render some assistance to the Beers in
the TransYaal. 1t was agreed to render
any assistance compatible with our
loyalty as American citizens, and which
would not interfere with the neutral
ity laws of the United States. We are
impressed with the splendid precedent
shown by the republic in going to war
with Spain to free Cuba from the OPP
preston Of that country. We believe
that American sympathy is with the
Beers and that we are acting in ac-
cordance with the principles which
urged the United States to carry the
flag in a struggle for the liberation Of
the gallant Cubans. Our people would
flock to the arms Of America if the
government marched to the assistance
of the South Africans.
Claim to Be Loyal.
"It is unnecessary for the Hibernians
to proclaim their loyalty to the United
States but it becomes them to state
that no act of theirs will be contrary
to the laws. Knowing the character of
the British government, its cruelty, its
We are DESTROYS to assist the
citizens of a sister republic in their
struggle to defeat English aggression.
What kind of aid will be given we can
not state at the present time, but GER
tainly it will be of a practical nature
and acceptable to the Boer government.
Were this nation the antagonist of
ENGLAND we could from our ranks send
fifteen to twenty regiments of the
best fighting material the world ever
saw. In fact, in any just cause in
which the United States may see fit to
draw the sword, the society would re-
spond as it did in former wars. The

Lord Roberts
lit the Front

London. Jan. 11.-During the inter
Iude of apparent military inactivity
and official secrecy, Lord Roberts and
! Lord Kitchener have arrived at Cape
! Town. 1t is assumed that their clear
vision, supported by 10000 fresh men,
who are due to arrive in South Africa
within thirty days, will alter the sit
uation, and that the fourth month of
the campaign will witness the begin
ming of victories for the British arms.
They are not, however expected to
produce definite results for some days,
but their mere presence will restore
the shaken confidence Of the men at
the front in their generals.
Lord Roberts finds 100000 men on
the defensive or watching for an OPEN
ing. Lord Methuen's health, according
to the Daily Mail, has broken down,
and the field marshal may relieve him.
Possibly some others will be relieved
of important commands There is
certainly plenty of rank in evidence in
South Africa. In addition to the field
marshal there are two full generals,
four lieutenant generals and twelve or
fourteen major generals.
Fear News From Ladysmith.
There is an uneasy suspicion that
when Ladysmith casualties are an
will partly destroy the patriotic glow
produced by General Whites victory.
The list of victims of disease issued by
the war office gives twenty-five deaths
from entric fever and dysentery in
Ladysmith in four days, revealing the
fact that the besieged are existing
among bad sanitary conditions
The Standard summarizes the gen
eral situation thus: We'll, the cam
paign has lasted three months. We
have something like 10000 troops in
South Africa. With this huge army
distributed over the country we are
still powerless to relieve three garri-
sons from investment. We have still
to see large portions of both colonies
in the hands of the enemy.
1--WE have driven the invaders back
at no single point. We are actually
further from the hostile frontiers than
we were on the day that the ultimatum
was delivered. The work which min
listers believed could be effectually per
formed with 25,000 men has not been
done has not even been begun. by four
or five times that number. Can any
one fail to admit that this is evidence
IF a grave miscalculation of forces and !
,acts?"

CARE OF CAPE TOWN.
The British Are Vigilant In Watch
ing the Beers

London, Jan. S-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
dealing in a dispatch dated Nov. Is,
with the excitement caused by rumors
of a Dutch coup, which the authorities
pronounces baseIess, says:
"A local paper today asks if it be
'baseIess that all the guards of all the
public buildings are trebled every
night, that the patrols scour the roads
converging at Cape Town. that troops
are encamped at Greenpoint that the
volunteers sdeep under arms and have

on hearing guns fired from the batter
les?
Today the authorities issued notices
warning the public of the danger of be-
ing fred upon if they approach posts
guarded by sentries at night time, and
no not stop when challenged. The pup
lie has also been notified that all boats

Chicago, Jan Dan J. Vessels, a
brother Of General Cornelius Vessels.
the commander Of the Boer forces be-
Sieging Kimberley. and cousin of Pres
ident Steyn of the Orange Free State.
said in an interview in Chicago today:
I expect to get back in time to have
plenty of fighting I am convinced
that the war win last at least another
year and while the Beers viii probably
be crushed. provided there is no foreign
intervention, there is certain to be a
protracted period Of guerilla warfare
for the Beers viii fight to the last eX-
tremity.
II think the present war might have
been avoided, but for England's op-
pressive demands, yet it would have
been merely a poStpOnement Of an in
have come when the Beers and the
English who have battled for the su-
premacy of South Africa. The leading
men of the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State have understood this for a
long time, but hoped that somehow
events would shape themselves so that
the conflict would be postponed. The
Jameson raid, however, proved it was
near al hand and they have been strain
ing every nerve to prepare for 1t.
"One who has no personal knowledge
Of the fact cannot understand the Bit

the English. After the Jameson raid,
I met numbers Of old men who prayed
