The full text of the order relating TO
the duties of civil and military authori.
ties In Cuba has been issued. The most
important provisions in addition TO
those already cabled are that after Feb

mitted in civil channels. Secretaries
and members of the cabinet having
charge will present the matters they
have under advisement, which will re.
quire immediate action, to the Cover.

decision. Civil officials are charged
with the conduct Of civil affairs under
the supervision Of the military Cover.

ton, has been started. Several days
ago engineers surveyed the mouth OF
Elm creek. IN the south bank of the
Platte, and a little west Of Fremont.
This Is the point at which the dis
charge from the west reservoir will be
made and the big dam built, securing
the waterfall Of 100 feet. From this
survey Engineer Roscwater Of Omaha
will make plans and specifications for
the dam. Another survey has been
made further west along the Zine OF
the proposed canal. The limit of time
for beginning work under the fran
chisc granted by the state board Of ir-
rigation expires January 25th. IL can
not yet be stated that the present
activity makes certain the

BATTLE IS RAGING
Fight is on in Earl est in South
Africa.
MAIN BODIES ARE NOT YET ENGAGED


IL Is evident from General Buffers
dispatch to the London war Office and
the advices to the Associated press
from Spearman's camp that a big bat.
tie is now being fought between Brit.
ish and Boer. AS far az can be gath
cred from these dispatches the result
remains undecided, but the a
ment on which hangs the fate of Lady.
smith, and which may prove the turn
ing point of the whole war, will be re-.
sumed this mornin.
The war Office has posted the follow
ing bulletin from General Butler:
'General Clery, with IA part of Gem
eral Warren's force. has been in ac-
ton from q a. m till : p. m. BY a ju-
dicious use Of his artillery he has
fought his way up, capturing ridge af-
ter ridge, for about three miles.
"The troops are now ~bivouacking on
the ground he has gained. but the
main position is still in front OF them.
The casualties were not heavy.
About one hundred wounded had been
brought in by $3.50 p. IN. The number
of killed has not yet been ascertained."
The justifiable severity of the CEN
sorship at the present moment pre-
vents the special correspondents from
giving additional information to sup.
plement General Buffers latest dis
patches. The success of the movement
depends almost entirely how far he
proves able to o~ut-maneuver the Beers,
whose available forces arc doubtless
larger than his own. The difficulty
lies in the ability of the Beers to trans
port men, stores and ammunition
quickly and to entrench new positions.
Secrecy regarding General Buffers
progress, therefore, is essential and
the British public is quite content to
wait patiently.
An account of Saturdays fighting
says that the British had few killed.
Little reliance can be placed upon
these reports, and, although the main
position of the Beers has not yet been
attacked and nothing is known as To
its strength. Saturdays and Sundays
fighting, which can hardly be described
rs more than outpost affairs, evidently
entailed serious losses.
The Beers are following the old
time tactics-making a show Of resist,
ance and then retreating in good order
to prepared positions, and, as they are
working from the interior of their
lines, they may be able to bring strong
forces to defend the main position.
Nothing is heard regarding any
counter attack by Sir George Whit.
from Ladysmith, and General Butler.
81 think we are making substantial.
progress" remains the last word. This
shows that there is still some very
hard work in front of the British
forces.
The news from other points is o.
slight interest. Generol Kelly-Kenny,
has been sent to General Gatacre t,
form an advanced base at Rosemeac
junction.

Fremont Man Painfully Injured.

Harvey Hyatt, son of City Clerk
Hyatt. was severely injured at the
Fidelity laundry at Fremont. lie was
busily engaged at the manglc, when in
some way his hand was drawn in be-
tween the heavy iron rollers almost To
the shoulder. The pain was intense
and those working near him sprang to
his aid. Mr.. Townsend, one OF the
proprietors, threw off the belt driving
the machine and the young nan was
quickly extricated. a physician hast
lily summoned found no bones broken,
although the flesh was badly bruised
and burned, the fingers torn and large
sections of the skin peeled OFF. The
injuries are not likely to prove perma-
nent.

ROAD MUST FURNISH CARS
board OF transportation Instructs Rock

The state board OF transportation
has issued an order requiring the Rock

binc all the ears he may require for

able, and in ease of n scarcity of cars
70 that the requirements Of all ship

The board holds that grain bought by
Mr.. Sandman to he delivered on the

cred in sight on that date.
This order of the board was In ac-

Professor nnzen BADLY Injured.

Henry A.. Hazen. professor of the
meteoroloRy and-one of the chief fore
casters OF the weather conditions at
the weather bureau in Washington,
was probably fatally injured by being
thrown from his bicycle. While the
professor was on his way tothe bureau
he ran into'a colored man and pitched
forward on his head. The blow was a
terrific one. the skull being cracked
from over the nose to the back of the
head and causing also a hemorrhage of
the brain. Physicians afterwards ire
panned the skull, but they say his
chances for recovery are very remote

to add or otherwise correct IL and re-

promptly and thoroughly done the list
will be complete and satisfactory. The
inquiries are to be simple and if the

THE FOOD FAMINE IN INDIA
The Council ut Calcutta Considers h
situation.


situation.
The council of Calcutta has consid-
cred the famine situation. The official
estimates show the cost to the govern
ment of the relief works, etc, to the
end of March will be 40, 0OO, 900 rupees.
About 1000. 900 persons are now af-
fected in British territory, and about
81, 1000, 900 in the native states.
The viceroy, Lord Curzon of Kedle-
ston. said that the famine area had ex.
pended, surprising the worst fears,
and they were now fearing a cattle,
water, and food scarcity. About 3,25O,.
900 persons, he continued, were already
receiving relief.
While in 1897 the world shared In
dia's sorrow and contributed hundreds
of thousands of pounds towards the
relief fund, the viceroy pointed out,
India would now have to struggle
alone. for the thoughts of every Eng
lishman in the world were centered on
South Africa. 1t would be the duty of
the government to pursue the task OF
saving millions of lives and it would
spend its last rupee, If necessary, to it.

HE GETS ACROSS THE LINE
Man Charged with Bastardy Manages
To Escape.

Something of a sensation was oc-
tasioncd 10y the arrest of Frank Whar-
ton, n young man of Fairbury, on n
charge Of bastardy sworn out by Han
nah kellerman, n young girl from
Daykin, who has been working rs =
domestic for Wharton's mother. At
his preliminary hearing he was bound
ovcr to the district court in the sun of
$500, and while he was searching for n
bondsmen he escaped. He vas pur-
sued by the deputy sheriff, who caught
him shortly after The had crossed the
Kansas line, and they ate supper to-
gcthcr, but Wharton refused to re-
turn, and as u man cannot be extra
ditcd for that crime, he was permitted
to go free. The girl is one Of the Kel-
herman family which some months ago
was poisoned by trichinae.
