one correspondent telegraphs that the
Beers are still IN Colenso, while another
quotes statements that the Beers
have mounted another gun at
Grobler's Kloof.
The censor Is evidently determined
that nothing shall come through from
Buffers army until his movement has
been completed, but although there Is
much that is dubious and uncertain
about the exact situation In Natal the
feeling is growing that Gen. Buffers
turning movements are having a real
and possibly a decisive effect
The facts that seem well assured are
very few, but such as they are they all
point In the same direction. Butler has
not been heard Of since his arrival at
Potgleter's Drift, with the enemy four
and a half miles In front Of him. II Is
said that Gen. Warren has crossed the
Tugela. at what point Is not mentioned.
and that some Of the British cavalry are
on the north side Of the river
The apparent ease with which Butler
made his way westward and crossed the
little Tugela leads to the natural Infer
ence that Springfield was not held by
that contingent Of Beers with guns
which was reported several days ago to
be there. And II both on their extreme
right at Springfield and on their ex-
IRENE left at Klangwand and Inhlawe
mountains the Beers We're discovered to
have vacated their strong positions, It
follows that their line, because Of Its
extension over twenty miles, was too
weak and that prudence dictated con-
centratlon, probably near Onderbrook
Sprult, between Ladysmith and Colenso.
simultaneously menaced on the east
and west, they must do one Of two
things, collect their forces behind strong
Entertainments, whence they must
be dislodged by assault before LADY
smith can be relieved, or else Joubert Is
retreatlng from Colenso and the east
and will fall upon Buffers column with
his whole strength. hoping to crush him
before assistance can arrive from War
rem.
This second alternative seems much
more plausible, for II accounts for the
rapid removal of Boer cnmmandos from
the immediate neighborhood OF the
river. A good road runs northwest from
Bulwer bridge toward RoodepoOrt and
Dewdrop, past Onderbrook Spruit. II
the Beers awaited themselves OF this
route they would intercept Butler on the
march from Potgieter's Drift northward
and compel him to accept battle.
II these suggestions are even approx
lmately correct, there must be some
heavy fighting going on northwest OF
Colenso and close TO Dewdrop, OF which
we may receive news at any moment.
From Ladysmith there is anoher con-
siderable list Of deaths by disease,
showing that the garrison is suffering
under the strain Of the siege.
To what extent Whites command will
be able to cooperate with the relief col
umn is uncertain. The men must be
exhausted and the horses out OF con-
ditl0n They cannot be good for much
until they have some weeks OF rest.
Thus their nominal strength OF $500
men and 50 guns does not represent
their true fighting force.

New York Jan. 1.-THE Times says.
The reorganization and rehabilitation,

the shear interests Of the country. In
this It failed.
The first sign that the corporation

Berlin, Jan. l5.-Emperor william
still takes the deepest interest IN the
Bundersrath incident and holds ire
quent conferences on the subject with
the foreign secretary, Count Won
Buelow. The matter was under con-
sideration today. and the correspond
ent OF the Associated Press was IN
formed after the conference that the
emperor is still furious about the SELF
ure, which he regards as particularly
ungraceful and uncalled for on the
part of Great Britain, inasmuch as he
was led TO believe during his recent
visit that England would hereafter do
everything In her power TO preserve
amicable relations. In view OF all this.
his majesty regards the seizures Oh
German vessels as apparent bad faith
on the part Of Lord Salisbury
The German ambassador In London,
Count Won Hatzfeldt, has Informed the
German government that the seizures
were made upon the order OF the Brit
ish admiralty and not OF the foreign
Office. The kaiser, however, considers
this a mere subterfuge.

marine cabinet, Will retain q strictly
private character, he will drop a word
Of the above tenor In the proper quar-

CONSTRUCTING
NICARAGUA CANAL
Measure Therefor viii be Insisted
on by the Present Congress.
FULL AMERICAN CONTROL.
Violation OF the Clayton BuIwer
Treaty-Germapy aud Britain
showing interest

New York. Jan. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says
Construction Of the Nicaragua canal
IS to be insisted upon in both houses OF
Congress, without regard 10 the COM
mission recently appointed by the Pres
ident TO consider the feasibility OF the
various routes.
The House committee has already
agreed TO report the Hepburn canal
BILL and the Senate committee on inter-
ocean canals, Of which Mr.. Morgan Is
chairman agreed today, with practical
unaulmity, upon the same course, II Is
expected that the decision to report the
bin win be reached shortly,
This measure Will not be pressed at
present, It being the desire Of Senator
Morgan 10 await the action OF the
House, although II there should be de-
lay in that body Independent consl1-
GRAFTON will be asked In the Senate.
Mr.. Hepburn's bill contemplates full
American control Of the canal. with
authority to fortify the work 1t Is this
provision which has attracted the at
.ention OF diplomats IN Washington, es-
pecally representatives Of the English
and German governments. IL Is In vi0-
latlon OF the Clayton Bulwer treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. In which both countries agree
upon Joint control OF any inter-oceanic
canal.
II Is a mooted question whether or
not this treaty has been abrogated,
Great Britain holding that II is still In
force and this view having been ac-
quiesced In all by all administrations
up TO the present II is said 10 be the
view Of this administration
Great Britain signlfed her willing
ness 10 formally abrogate the treaty
some time ago II the United States
would guarantee the neutrality Of the
canal, but the negotiations were abrupt
ly ended when the Joint high commits
sion dissolved, owing TO the unwilling
ness Of the British ministry TO show
further friendliness 10 the United States
at the risk Of displeaslng,Cana
The action Of the Senate and House
committees indicates a purpose to con-
struct canal under American control.
This would probably be followed by a
system Of discriminating tolls, a stua-
ton which is not acceptable 10 Greut
Britain.
q Germany made some inquiries regard
Ing the purpose OF the United States
when the Hepburn bill was discussed
during TIE last session of Congress, but
upon assurance that the United States
would neutralize the canal. these In
quiries were not pressed. II is certain.
however, that any serious effort to press
the bill in its present form, Will lead
70 diplomatic correspondence.
The Hepburn bill appropriates sii0,-
600 900 for the construction Of the canal.

American Shipments to China.

San Francisco, Jan. le.-Charles L.

largely interested In iron and steel ship
ments from San Francisco, says In an
interview today:
Overland shipments via this port to
China, Japan and Siberia are monopo-
lizing all the available ship room. I'm
mense supplies for the Eastern Chinese
railway and other branches Of the great
trans Siberian road have been forward
ed from this country. The fact ac-
counts somewhat for the jump In steel
and iron exports to the Orient from
half million dollars for II months In
1898 10 81, 100000 for the same months OF
last year. There was an increase in
the exports TO nearly all classes Of ma
chinery, especially agricultural imple-
ments and scientific apparatus.
THE cotton cloth trade with China
shows an increase OF about $4,000. 900 for
the first eleven months OF last year as
compared with the same period Of 1898"
