is HANGING IN
The I .| BALANCE.
All Depends Upon Amount Of Ammu-
milton in Hands Of the Dis
loyal Dutch Residents.
GENERAL REBELLION EXPECTED.
Loyalist Demand Martial Law Shall
be Proc1aimed-Boers Waiting
for Leader to Rebel.

LONDON, Dee. 26.-The position Of.
Cape Colony is hanging in the balance.
According to the Morning Posts Cape
Town correspondent, everything de-
pends upon the quantity OF ammunition
In possession of the disloynl Dutch
residents, fifteen hundred Of whom have
Joined the Boers In the Philpstown dis
trlct alone. Energetic measures have
been taken to stem the invasion, but
there Is unquestlonably danger that
parties Of Beers will get through into
parts of the colony and gradually raise
the whole Cape into rebellion. Rein
forcements can arrive none too soon.
Most of the dispatches from Cape
Town, however, describe the raiders as
doing little harm and as being rapidly
enclosed by Lord Kitchencr's combina-
tion. Lord Kitchener is in the heart
OF the dlsaffected districts. IF,e
Acquainted With Local Conditions.
He has the advantage Of being per-
sonally acquainted with local condl-
tions. Last March he supervised the
suppression OF the rising which occur
red then. He is bringing down thou
sands of troops from the north.
The Standards Cape Town corres-
pondent says the loyal!sts demand that
martial law shall be proclaimed
throughout Cape Colony, but adds: j Z
"such step is now Impossible, owr-
ing to the lack OF sufficient troops 10
enforce It." a..
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Cape Town, says: Z
THE pro-Boer press IS slngularly
quiet. They have been made uneasy
by the promptness and thoroughness
of the military action, but reports
from various parts OF the western pro-
vinces foreshadow perllous possibilities.
Waiting for a Leader.
"a responsible coloplst who recently
made a tour of the colony, declares that
90 per cent of the Dutch are simply
waiting for the appearance Of q re-
sourceful leader to rebel"
Civil railway traffic has been sus-
pended largely in all parts of the col

Beers and the British are almost un-
known in Cape Town. It appears that

Serious Trouble Expected Between
Negroes and Whites-The Latter
Are Keeping Within Doors,
APPEAL TO SHERIFF FOR HELP.
White Mans Saloon Captured by
Negroes-owner's Life Threaten

JEFFERSoNVlLLB, Ind. Dec. 25.-
a race war is in progress at Cement
Vile, small station on the Pan Handle
road, fve miles north Of this city. and
serious trouble is expected.
The negroes are armed and the
whites are keeping within doors to
avoid them. q
The outbreak began yesterday after
noon when Lee Ranger and John Red
luond, negroes, became intoxicated and
started in to intinldarc whites. When
their insults were resented other ne
groes Joined Ranger and Redmond and
captured Samuel Kendalrs saloon.
Nearly twenty shots were fired, but no
one was hurt.
An appeal by telephone was made to
Sheriff Rave for help and he drove to
Cementvllle and to some extent quieted
the negroes while he was present.
After his departure an outbreak took
place and message after message came
to the local police to send men to the
town.
Ranger was shot by Kendall, but how
badly is not known, as he was carried
away and secreted by his companions.
Kendalrs life was threatened and about
midnight he managed to escape from
his store and came direct to this city,
awakening Prosecutor Montgomery
and begging him to issue warrants and
have deputy sheriffs sworn in to serve
them.
1t was almost daylight before the
community became quiet. the negroes
having everything their own way. So
far to-day no outbreak has taken
place. The whites are intimidated to
such an extent that they are using ev-
cry possible precaution to prevent G col
lisIon.
