Special Dispatches Hint at Some I'm.
pending Movement. .s
LONDON, Dec. 30.-The latest special
dispatches from Chieveley Camp hint
darby at some impending movement.
This is taken with some misgivings
that General Butler intends to make
another attempt to relieve Ladysmith.
It is reported by the same dispatches
that the Beers have now returned to
the north bank of the Tugela, being
afraid that the swollen river may cut
off their retreat. They are also moving
their laagers nearer Ladysmith with
the view of probably putting greater
pressure on the garrison, which is now
suffering severely. It is hardly con.
ceivable that General Butler would
make a frontal attack, especially now
the river is rising and in view of the re-
port that he is contemplating moving
his headquarters back to Frere camp.
It is known that artillery is due to ar
rive for General Butler, but the belief
is that even then his forces would be
to weak to act. He might be moved by
desire to accomplish something before
the arrival of Lord Roberts. His men
are also keen to retrieve their defeat.
The reported engagement between
Beers and Kaffirs is very vague and
cannot be explained until the arrival OF
later dispatches.

that the Spanish system of peonage,
amounting to slavery, is a menace to
popular liberty, and violation of the
privileges guaranteed by the American
Constitution.

with the object of seizing Cape Town

said to be Pearl, a village about 30
miles from Cape Town, where a meet

Gently. A secret meeting was held at.
Richmond on Dec. % and it is reported
that the members Of the bund in these

members of the bund at Wilmington

are taking ample precautions.

capture of q Boer position is not con

activity on the part Of the British, ap-
parently preparatory to some action.

DR.. Mill described the Peterson Nan
sen insulating water bottle. He said that
Prof. Peterson had, in conjunction with
Prof. Nansen, completed a modification
of his well known apparatus for obtain
ing samples of sea water without change

paratus was to enclose a quantity of sea
water at any desired depth, to hold it
without any change of temperature ex-
ceeding one-hundredth of degree cent?
grade. The Insulation, which was the
essential feature of the water bottle, was
secured by a series of concentric chambers
of nom conducting material, which were
simultaneously filled with water and SO
protected the portion, measuring about
two litres, which occupied the large cen
trail tube. During last August the water
bottle had been tested by Prof Nansen
on board the Michael Sars in the sea be-
tween Iceland and Spitzbergen, and at the
greatest depth met with, 5000 metres. or
1870 fathoms, the Insulation was perfect
On August II a sample was taken from
5000 metres, and when il came up the
thermometer read 1885 degrees c. After
five minuts it read 1.2S3, after nine min
uteS 1.27G, and after eleven minutes LILO
Prof. Nansen considered it essential to
use an included thermometer to secure
exact results. Prof. Nansen had also ex-
perimented with a water bottle in which
the insulating material consisted, in addi-
tion to the concentric water tubes, of a
ring of eighty exhausted glass tubes sim
liar to the vessels used by Prof. Dewar
for liquid gases. It's insulation was prov
