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

The Cape Colony Cabinet had an im-

appears that the Beers have destroyed

about twelve miles south of De Aar,
and no Cape mails have arrived at
Bloemfontein for three days
Further anxiety has been caused in
Cape Town by the discovery that dur

toned supplies of dynamite The co

to recover possession of these eN
plosives and is removing all stores Of

Other advices from Cape Town re-
port the Dutch element in Cape Colony
as greatly elated over the southwark
passage of the Beers and as boosting
that the whole district of Victoria

pected in Cape Town that the force

PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS
ORDER OF SAILING

Manila. Dec. 23.-The Philippine
commission has appinted II. Phelps
Whitmarsh governor and Otto Schcrer
secretary of the province of Bcngrct.
Mr.. Whitmarsh has been here two
years. principally engaged as II 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 Il
German who has lived many years in
the Philippines, five of which have
been passed in the province of BenSuit
where for a long time he was the only
white man. He speaks the native Ian
g,lage and several European tongues
tiuently, and is intimate with the Igor
rOtes.
The amended platform of the recent
ly organized autonomy party advOcat-
ed that half of the territorial senators
shall be elected and half appointed by
the governor general. The latter shall
also appoint the judges and the mum
icipal governments shall be similar to
those of the United States. The cap
tured document, it is expected. will
be formally adopted at 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 chartering other vessels and
without leaving the towns unprotected.
The order of sailing is as follows:
Thirty seventh infantry, Eleventh
cavalry, Thirty-sixth, Th:rtyfourth.
Twenty Thirtieth. Twenty

promise is made voluntarily and with

Judge Clifford Smith of Cedar Falls,
Ia. holds that good citizens are needed
more in this country than mere voters.
Therefore he refused to grant naturali-

came before him because they were un-

tions which he put to them. None Of
them could either read or write Eng
lish, and the Judge told them that he
did not think they were as yet ready

Henry Hagemeister, treasurer Of the
Wisconsin Brewers association, says
beer-drinking is on the decrease in
the state. The days OF fortune-mak-
ing in breweries has passed. and sew
eral large establishments now fail to
return fair percentage on the money
invested. This condition has been
brought about In large measure by in
creased consumption in homes. When
people drink beer at home" says Mr..
Hagemeisteri they are satisfied when
thirst is appeased. In saloons the So
cial or treating feature makes them
drink great deal more. The result
