CATION Every effort continues to be made by
the friends of the accused appraisers to have
the charges against them suppressed. and it is
believed that the culprits endeavored to have
Senor Arostegui arrested. believing that his
cousin Senior Quesada, has influence enough IN
Washington to secure discontinuance of the
prosecution, and that he would exercise this in
fiuence more readily If his relative were sup
posed to be involved. The more the Government

AscRIBEs SPANISH DEFEAT.

ASCRIBES SPANISH DEFEAT.
Chicago, Dec. S1.-"The Tribune of to-day prints
the text of Admiral Montojo's defence at the court
martial proceedings for his defeat at Manila The
bulk of the blame Is charged by the Admiral not to
himself to his feet, but to the Spanish Govern
ment for its unprepared conditions He also alleges
that Admiral Dewey kept out of range of the
Spanish guns proceeding which Montojo refers to
as "a retreat Montojo says:
The only preparation that had been made for war
was made by the Americans who were business
like, and arranged everything, with pencil and
paper. The initial velocity of our was 80
metres; that of the smallest cannon of enemies
was $50 metres Admiral Dewey, with pencil in
hand noted the thickness OF his mantlets and his
easements, and knew what energy required to
penetrate them. He also knew exactly the weight
of the most powerful projectile of ships and by
simple mathematical calculation he arrived at
the distance at which he could fight without him
self receiving any harm. Thus he ascertained that
he could fight at distance OF 1000 5000 metres
with absolute impunity. The situation, therefore,
was lust this: We vulnerable to all the pro-
jectles of the enemy and this the enemy well
knew while he got out OF reach OF our cannon, and
remained out Of reach all the while.
Admiral Montojo adds
In order to give an idea of miserable situa-
tion I NAV mention that had only fourteen tor
pedoes for defence of 1000 metres Of space and
that the cable, which we obtained an Hong Kong.
was only long enough for hve torpedoes and there
fore only hve torpedoes could be placed.

ENOUGH OF THEM, 1T Is THOUGHT. TO
COPE WITH THE DISLOYAL ELEMENT.
Cape Town, Dec. 2S.-The colonial authorities
are using every precaution to prevent an insur-
rectfon on the part of the disloyal Dutch in
Cape Colony and to suppress a rising if it should
occur. Everywhere the British colonists are be-
Ing organized into home guards drilled. armed
and made ready to act in their respective local
tiles should armed Dutch colonists gather.
The theory is that the British home staying
colonials should be fully prepared to cope with
the Dutch colonials without the aid of regulars.
The alertness of the British makes united ac-
ton on the part of pro-Boer residents difficult
Unable to act openly, they slip away singly or
in small groups to join the enemy's forces The
authorities have been informed Of many centres
of agitation, which it is considered undesirable
TO particularize, but there is nothing like con-
certed action apparent over wide districts.
The case of Mr.. Michan, solicitor to the De
Beers company, who is accused of treason, ac-
quires increased Importance. as he has been
transferred from the custody of the civil au-
thorities here to the military authorities at De
Aar His high position causes the Dutch to
watch his keenly.
Parties Of Beers have been operating some
seventy miles south of Lord Methuens position.

way, about twenty-nine miles south of De Aar.
A force of the Duke of Edinburghs Own Volun-
teers prepared to engage them, but the enemy
retired.
Another party fired into British patrol camp
during the night of December q. This was near
Victoria Road An attempt made not far
from that point to damage the railway. One
man caught in the act and shot.
A similar attempt made between Multier-
solei and Klapmuts. but the would-be wreckers
escaped. Like attempts reported from sew
eral other points. Evidently small parties Of
Beers or Dutch colonials have been trying to
interrupt the movement OF trains, but thus far
they have been ba11ed by the elaborate British
patrolling.
In one case a patrol Of regulars fired ON a
patrol Of coIoniaIs. The latter were wearing
broad brimmed hats and were mistaken by the
British for Beers No casualties occurred, but
consequence of the incident order has been
issued requiring all classes Of troops to wear
helmets.
