Scarcity of Dispatches from the Seat of
War Again Gives Rise TO Some Anx-
tety-Gon. Clements Recent Success
bant's Horse-Capture of Yeomanry
Not Confirmed,
Not Confirmed, ,

London, Dec. 27-2:30 a. m.-The pau
city and obscurity of the dispatches
from South Africa give rise to renewed
anxiety. Apparently the disturbed area
of Cape Colony extends further south
than it did last December, and Lord
Kitchener does not appear to have had
much success as yet in driving back the
invaders The war office had received
no news last evening of the report from
Cape Town of the capture og yeomanry
near BritstoWn.
The decision to include Maoris in the
New Zealand contingent is extremely
interesting, as at the beginning of the
war the government promised not to
employ blacks.
A Burghersdorp dispatch has a mys-
terious reference to IAN unfortunate
mistaking of the enemy for Brabants
Horse" which resulted in the sending
of a cease fire" order and enabled the
Beers to occupy all the commanding po-
sitions, the British retiring from diff
cult predicament.
General Clements success against the
BOeTS IN the NIGSdlltSpSiS lCSioii 10 diS'
doubted the last dispatch reporting
that 'it was considered advisable not
to force the Beers from their positions,
The British press continues in the
main optimistic, but the condition of af-
fairs brings home the enormous difficult
ties that will face Lord Kitchener in
patrolling and policing such immense
tracts of country, even when the Beers
shall be finally subdued.
Lord Kitchener, according to dis
patch from Johannesburg, has issued
dated Pretoria, Decem-
Der 90 announcing that burghers who
surrender will be allowed
to live with their families in the gov
ernment laagers until such time as
warfare has sufficiently abated
to admit of their returning in safety to
their homes The proclamation also
promises that all property and stock
brought in at the time Of surrender VIII
be respected and paid for if requisition-
ed by the military authorities.
Maseru, Dec. 25.-The British are
pressing Commanding De Wet in the
district.
Wellington N. T., Dec. 27.-The sixth
contingent of New Zealand, 200 strong,
half being Maoris, will sail for South
Africa in three weeks.

Lincoln, Neb, Dec. 26-The annual

brought together nearly three hundred
representative men of the democratic

other states. William ]. Bryan made
his first appearance at a public gather

accorded him was never more hearty
and spontaneous in his home city
Aside from the remarks by Mr.. Bryan
the event of the evening was the speech
of John w Kern, defeated democratic
candidate for governor of Indiana, who
aroused the banqueters to high pitch
of enthusiasm, not only by his laudation
of Mr.. Bryan, but by his outspoken crit
icsm of those democrats whom he ac-
cused of contributing to his (Bryan's)
defeat. His denunciation of democrats
who offered "gratuitous counsel to de-
mocracy" though he mentioned no
names, was accepted as reference TO
former President Cleveland. 1t was al
ter 10 o'clock when the dinner was fin

Former Superintendent of Police
Treadwell Smith died at his home, IA
Cottage street, early this morning. He
had been ailing for several weeks, but
yesterday his condition took very
serious turn and toward morning it was
seen that he could last but short time.
He sank rapidly after midnight and
died at 1:50 O'Clock of heart failure,
serious symptoms of which he had
shown for some months. At the time
of his retirement from the department,
and for two or three years before, he
had been troubled with a bad leg, which
caused him great pain and inconven-
ience. 1t was this that finally under
mined his strong constitution and
brought about the heart trouble, He
was one of the most esteemed Of the
police officials. He held the confidence
of all the men, who more than once eX-
pressed their great regard for him. He
leaves a son, Seaman N. Smith, now a
patrolman on the department, and a
wife.
