BLAMING ONES ANCESTORS.

Modern tendencies in medicine seem to have for their object the shifting of the responsibility for. our misfortunes and our mistakes upon our ancestors. Even since the discovery of the neuro- pathic heredity, as it has been termed by the school of Cracot, it has been the effort of the majority of eaorologists and alienists to discover some reason other than the most obvious one for the existence of various forms of nervous disease.
 Nacke has recently urged that in pa retic dementia a tendency to the disease must exist from birth; that is, that only those subjects develop it in whose brains a peculiar condition already exists, no matter what the secondary infection may be-Philadelphia Medical Journal

TRICKED By BOERS.
British Obeyed an Order to Retire Is
sued by the Enemy.

LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Daily News from Naauwpoort, dated Jan.
Q, describing the unfortunate movement
with the Suffolks. says: General French
permitted the attempt at the urgent de-
sire of Lieutenant Colonel Watson. The
march began at midnight The men wore
canvas shoes, or, failing these, marched
in their socks. The ground was difficult,
and many halts were necessary to verify
the position. On reaching the summit of
the hill he officers advanced over the
crest to reconnoiter. The Beers, who had
evidently been warned of the movement,
opened terrible fusillade. Captain Brett's
company charged into Boer trench, when
came an order to retire. 1T came in shout
from the Boer lines, and the two rear COM
panies, completely deceived, carried it out
OF the two advance companies ninety-two
were killed or wounded Captain Brett got
his men under cover and sent sergeant
with five men to cut his way out and to
ask the British artillery to direct the fire
to the right, fearing that the guns might
open on him. Three men got through with
the message, but Captain Brett was forced
to surrender with his remaining seventy
two men. The redoubt behind which the
Beers were lying was very high and doubly
loop-holed. but absolutely undiscoverable
except by balloon, and toa high to be
stormed by scaling ladders.

IL Dutch BE Prosecuted for Treason
Prisoners May Suffer.

Prisoners May Suffer.
CAPE TOWN, Jan. 10-The proceedings
for treason instituted against the Dutch
colonials who We're taken in arms at Sunny
side are being pressed. Witnesses have
been interrogated to-day, the preliminary
examination before the magistrate will be
held later. and the trial will probably be
conducted by the Supreme Court. The
colonial Dutch point out that these pros
ecutions will serve to make more rebels,
as they consider the treatment of the pris-
oners designed to terrify them. Some Brit
Uns regard the prosecutions as impolitic,
in view of the fact that the Beers are
able to retaliate on the one hundred Brit
ish officers and the $500 privates in their
hands, and might do so unless all who
fight in the Boer ranks are treated as pris-
oners of war.
The Beers kept up a continuous "snip-
ing' near Dordrecht.
Five colonial scouts We're captured on

Yesterday the American residents gave

MARCHING ON BOGoTA.
Colombian Rebels Said to BE Prepar-
ing to Attack the Capital.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. H.-Advices
just received from Colombia reiterate the
statement that the main body of the CO.
lombian revolutionists, after occupying
Bucaramanga on Jan. 6, and securing large
quantities of stores, proceeded toward So
corro, TO which other bodies were con-
verging. with a view of forming juno
ton and delivering a concerted attack
upon Bogota. In this attempt. according
TO the same advices. the Colombians ex-
pected the assistance of considerable
body of Senezuelans. understood to be ad-
vancing from the frontier by way of
Cuyuta.
On the other hand, the government dis
patches reaffirm the reports of complete
rout of the main body OF the insurgents
in two heavy battles near Bucaramanga
and Cerrita, entirely frustrating the insur-
gents plans. AS against this, advices from
yet another quarter declare that the gov
ernment is completely disorganized and
that the government troops are retreating
toward Bogota. avoiding conflicts. In
this connection 1t Is pointed out that the
drafting OF Antioquan troops into the cap
ital is significant indication OF the gov-
ernments position.

ST. MARY'S BAY WRECK
IDENTITY OF THE ILL-FATED
STEAMER NOT YET DISCOVERED.
Photograph of n Seaman Wearing q
Up-PossibIy an Oil Tank Liner.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. 1.-THE gale has
not yet blown itself out, and the sea Is
still too rough to allow boats to get near
the wreck in st. Mary's bay. AS yet there
is nothing to show the name of the vessel.
Ten bodies have been located among the
rocks and others can be seen floating about
Plans have been made for the recovering
of these tomorrow. and as soon as the
weather permits 1t may then be possible TO
get at the name of the steamer from pieces
of boats wedged in the clefts of the rocks.
The Roman Catholic priest Of this dis
trict, while holding service at Holy Rood,
was given by a villager photograph
which had been washed ashore, apparently
from the wreck. This represents a seaman
wearing cap, upon which are the letters
IS. NJ. S. Fake The priest was also told
that the ship had slipped off the rocks into
deep water and disappeared, except for the
top of one mast. and that a Guernsey. with
the letters 'S. NJ. S." had also been picked
up near the wreck.
1t appears that the ships funnel was
banded red, white and black with white
diamond. The funnel could not be that of
the Fake, as she, being a North German
Lloyd liner, would have yellow funnel. 1t
is also thought that the photograph might
be one of a seaman on the German warship
Fake, or one taken while its owner was
on the other Fake. The tunnels most re-
sembling that of the wreck are those of
the American Petroleum Company, which
are banded black, red. white and black, and
the vessel certainly had a lot of petroleum
on board. as the ocean is covered with ii,
causing hundreds of birds to perish.
The Warren line, Of Boston, is known as
the White Diamond line, and, although the
tunnels of its vessels are black, the wreck
may have been a chartered steamer with
a white diamond painted over the regular
signal. to show her as a Warren liner
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Times to-
morrow will say: 1T Is believed here that
the wrecked vessel is one OF three oil
steamers chartered, or owned. by the
Standard Oil Company, two of which sailed
from this port and the third from Phil
adelphia The name of these vessels are
the Mannheim. which left here Jan. for
London; the Helois. which left here Jan.
5 for Flushing. Holland. and the Helgo-
land, which left Philadelphia Jan. for
Bergen. Norway. OF those the Mannheim
is the least likely TO be the wrecked YES
sell as she has three masts. whereas the
dispatches state that the wrecked vessel
has but two. The Helois might fit the
description. but the Helgoland is the most
likely of the three"

cruel DEATH which IL Is not. AS a matter
OF fact. it is probably the most humane
and least Objectionable method OF capital
punishment now employed by any nation.
Criminals have been garroted In Spain
and in Spanish colonies for centuries. IL
probably is a development OF the Oriental
bowstring. which the Moors and Arabs in
troduced into Spain. In its primitive form
1t exactly resembles the bowstrlng. being
nothing more than a stout cord placed
about criminals neck and frightened by
twisting the cord. Out OF this grew the
iron collar, which was suddenly frightened
and which strangled it's victim TO death.
The garrote, as it is now used, does not
strangle at all, and the name has become
a misnomer. The condemned is seated and
leans his head back against an iron sup
port prepared for il. An iron collar closely
encircles the throat and the executioner
turns a screw, the point of which pen
etrates the spinal marrow, separating II
from the brain and causing instantaneous
death. There is absolutely no pain except
the prick of the screw, which is like that
of a needle. There are no contortions, as
in hanging, or in electrical execution.
Moreover, there is no chance for a failure.

UNCLE SANS GARROTE.
Three Puerto Ricans Sentenced to
Suffer Medieval Punishment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I.-The fact that
five men have been sentenced TO the gar
rote in Porto Rico territory controlled by
the United States, is likely to make
stir. However, the sentence has not yet
been approved by the War Department and
President Mckinley. The laws governing
Porto Rico in rather jumbled state.
Many changes have been made. but except
in instances deemed absolutely necessary
and nearly all OF these relate 10 civil af-
fairs, the old Spanish laws prevail. There
have been men executed in Cuba by the
United States authorities. but these have
met the death prescribed by the army
code-they have been shot.

Victorian Mounted Rifles and a battery
OF horse artillery. left here last Sunday
evening and crossed the Free State bor-
der on Tuesday. simultaneously other
movements were made A column under
Colonel Pitcher went from Belmont to the
south OF General Babington's route, while
a portion OF the garrisons of Klokfontein
and Honey Nest Kloof, under Maj Byrne,
advanced toward Jacobsdal.
General Darlington penetrated twelve
miles and his scouts twenty. They saw
no signs of armed Beers. The farm houses
were found empty, the occupants having
had news of the advance and gone fur
ther into the interior. The British
bivouacked at RamGon. They burned three
farmhouses, the property of Lubbe one Of
the Boer leaders. Yesterday they swept
around southwark, returning here to-day.
Nothing was accomplished except a recon-
noissance. Colonel Pitcher came into touch
with General Darlington and then returned
to Belmont.
Major Byrne reconnoitered the hills about
four miles from Jacobsdal and saw seven
hundred Beers.
