DE WET A GREAT GENERAL
WHOSE INVASION IS SERIOUS

London, Dec. 24.-Lord Kitchener's
dispatches, breathing confidence
hardly justified by their contents, are
almost the only available news from
the seat OF hostilities in South Africa,
but kilograms from Cape Town depict
the situation in anything but roseate
hues.
Without believing the assertion Of
the Transvaal agency in Brussels, that
5000 Beers have invaded Cape Colony,
it Is quite evident that the invasion
was a serious and well-planned affair.
In connection with this correspondent
sends mn extremely interesting letter,
dated Bethulde, December 1st, describ-
ing General De Wet and his doings.
DE Wet has never been taken ser
iously enough" says the correspondent.
ut Is of little Use to pursue him, as he
fights n rear guard action and gains
twenty miles while he Is being fought.
"He is a born military genius, whose
wonderful powers have kept up this
phenomenal resistance.
"Once he fails, the whole thing
could be crushed in n fortnight. He has
every single commando under his su-
pervision. All his patrols and columns
march and countermarch on his corder.
The forces under his command have
been reduced by his strength of will to
n properly organized army, moving Mt
his word. Tie sooner the British rid
themselves of the idea that De Vets
forces are n mere rabble, wandering
aimlessly, the sooner they will grasp

PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS
ORDER OF SAILING

Manila, Dec. 23.-The Philippine
commission has appinted II. Phelps
Whitmarsh governor and Otto Scherer
secretary OF the province Of Bengret.
Mr.. Whitmarsh has been here two
years, principally engaged as news
paper correspondent, and has resided
latterly at Baguim, which will be the
seat Of government and Is the central
point Of the region. Mr.. Scherer is a
German who has lived many years In
the Philippines, five Of which have
been passed in the province Of Benguit
where for long time he was the only
white man. He speaks the native Ian
guage and several European tongues
duently, and is intimate with the Igor
rOtes.
The amended platform Of the recent
~ organized autonomy party advocat.
ed that half of the territorial senator's
shall be elected and half appointed by
the governor general. The latter shall
also appoint the judges and the nun
icipal governments shall be similar to
those Of the United States. The cap
tured document, 1t is expected, will
be formally adopted ut n private meet
ing Of the loyal Filipino leaders to-
day and published In Manila on Mon-
day.
The early passage Of the army bill
will result In the transportation of all
volunteers and regulars in transports
without chnrtering other vessels and
without leaving the towns unprotected.
The order OF smiling is as follows:
'Thirty-seventh infantry Eleventh
cavalry, Thirty-sixth. Thirty-fourth,

the need of the determined effort which
is necessary to capture him."
The Cape Colony Cabinet had an i'm
portant sitting yesterday Sunday 1t
appears that the Beers have destroyed
a railway bridge ninety feet long,
about twelve miles south of DE Aar,
and no Cape mails have arrived at
Bloemfontcin for three days.
Further anxiety has been caused in
Cape Town by the discovery that dur
ing the last two months public bodies
in out of the way places have requisi-
toned supplies of dynamite. The CO.
lonial government Ia now endeavoring
to recover possession of these ex-
plosives and is removing all stores of
arms and ammunition from suspected
depots.
Other advlces from Cape Town re-
port the Dutch element in Cape Colony
as greatly elated over the southwark
passage Of the Beers and as boasting
that the whole district of Victoria
West, will join the rniders. 1t Is sus-
pected in Cape Town that the force
travelling from Zootpan's Drift is not
a body of Beers, but one Of Colonlals
Fastening to join the raiders.
A Pietermartizburg correspondent
says:
"The Beers are active between
Johannesburg and Pretoria. exchang-
ing shots with the British outposts.
and 1t is reported that parties Of Beers
are towering around johannesburg"

President Mckinley has a record Of
purchasing $1,000 cigars of one brand
in the fourteen years he was in con-
gress. While this Is very large num-
ber, yet 1t is no more than great
many men smoke in the same period.
as 1t averages but seven cigars a day
Mr.. Mckinley had a peculiar custom
in handling his cigars. During his
service In congress he always bought
them by the box. leaving the box at the
stand from which all his purchases
were made. 1t was convenient place
for him to call by to get bundle Of
cigars, either in the morning or the
evening. He had no tendency toward
making changes in the brand he smok-
ed. He chose good one and stuck to
It, though since he left congress and
while he has been in the White House
he has not patronized the same cigar,
probably simply because it was not as
convenient to buy.
