Boer guerillas must be hunted down ard
this can be done only by supplying the
mounted force with droves of horses for
riding hard and fast over the veldt. The
war office has never been able to compre-
hend the necessity for purchasing horses
on an Unprecedented scale for operati ton
in South Africa
Private advices indicate that railway
and telegraph communication between
Cape Town and the North has been sus-
pended, partly by the operations of the
Boer raiders and partly by the heavy
rains and this fact may account for the
silence of the wires. Considerable ankle
ty as to the situation in Cape. Colony is
still said to prevail in military circles in
Cape Town, but here there is the fullest
confidence in the ability of Lord Kitch-
ener who is now on the spot, to crush
the maraudihg. commanders. The Beers
are not in sufficient strength to seriously
interfere with the British lines
of communication, and any damage
that they may have done to railway and
telegraph lines will no doubt be quickly

race war is or at Cementville, a small

boxes of all shapes and sizes at the cell
lar door of the executive mansion
The old attaches of the house say that
at no time within their remembrance
was there such an avalanche of Christ
mas gifts, and yet several of the old
timers date back to the days of Lincoln
and Grant.
One of the pecularities of the Christ
mas at the White House has been the
unusual supply of presents from far
away lands. The mails have brought
curious rernembrances from soldier h0ys
and civilians with postmarks in China, the
Philippines, Guam, Tutuila, Honolulu,
Porto Rico. the Klondike, and Cuba,
while the packages from this country
represents almost every state in the union
and seenr to come impartially from the
lakes to the gulf and from ocean to
ocean.
A squad of employees has been busy
in the basement taking off the outside
coverings, unpacking boxes, and other
wise preparing for Christmas day. The
presents were stored in the end
room which Mrs. Cleveland used as her
houdoir, until the morning. Immediately
after breakfast the president and Mrs
Mckinley devoted their attention to their
presents, almost. all of which were in
the nature of surprises.
MRS M'KINLEY WAS BUSY.
Mrs. Mckinley was given an opportun-
ity to open all the little boxes and
packages herself. and this labor was suf-
ficient to tax her strength. There were
special presents from all the cabinet fam
what more ceremony.
The clerk have had busy time Of
it keeping track of the cards and notes,
and record has been kept of the dom
ors, but will not be made public, as the
president is scruplous about keeping his
domestic affairs to himself.
For the Christmas dinner there were
turkeys upon turkeys to select from
One of these is a pure white bird from
Virginia, but there is no means of know
ing just what particular turkey was set
before the president There were SO
many of them and he is so anxious to
avoid offense that the chef had particular
orders to mix up the birds, and no one
knows what became of each turkey.
Among the Christmas presents were
several articles of food including pos,
sums and coons. which generally find
their way to the humber tables of Jerry
and Arthur, the colored attaches of the
house, who have been there for a genera.

married employees a turkey, while the
bachelors had a little memento from Mr..

PONY FOUND AT PACIFIC JUNG
TION.
The little bay pony which the kidnap-
ers used in running to and fro from the
Schneiderwind cottage where young
Cudahy was imprisoned was found at
Pacific Junction, To- AS soon as the
find was reported Chief of Police Dona-
hue put himself in communication with
the marshal at Pacific Junction. He
learned that the description of the ami
NAL tailed exactly with that of the ami
NAL ridden to McGlynn's livery barn by
the man who telephoned to the Cudahy
residence regarding the letter left in the
CUdahy yard. The ferryman who took
the pony and its rider across the Mis-
souri, river on his boat Thursday after
noon sent word to Chief Donahue that
he was able to give a first-rate descrip-
ton of the man who rode the pony An
officer was Immediately dispatched to
Pacific Junction, with instructions to
bring the pony back and to gather all
information possible.
TROUSERS MADE FOR LARGE MAN.
About o'clock last evening an officer
arrived at the Office of the chief of police
with pair OF old trousers found in the
barn at Pacific Junction in which the
pony had been fed and in which barn
the Mexican saddle and briddle used had
been found. The trousers were in the
haymow, and there was evidence that the
man had slept there one night, probably
Thursday night. The trousers were made
of blue-black worsted goods, thirty-threc
inches in length and thirty -eight-inch
waistband. They were old and ragged.
The buttons bore the name of Meyer
Hellman, a man who quit the clothing
business here ten years ago Or more.
In discussing this find Chief Donahue
said he regarded it as important, but he
was still of the opinion the ki6Eapers
were either in or near Omaha.
QUESTION AS TO -DEvLNE AND
GROVE.
Frank Devine is a suspect, but as ins
the case of Pat Grove, the suspicion
is based entirely upon the fact that De
vines appearance is somewhat like the
description of one of the kidnapers.
DeYine has been guilty of a number OF
crimes, and is what is known as an 'taIl
around crook. Devines description,
as we'll as that of Pat Grove, has been
wired to the police of different cities
If Pat Grove is connected with the sb-
duction of young Eddie Cudany it is es
tablshed beyond a doubt that he did not
wear mustache He was seen in South
Omaha only three days prior to the ab-
duction and at that time he was
smooth-shaven. He is therefore not the

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The posit on of

pends upon the quantity of ammunition
in possession of the disloyal
Dutch residents, 100 of whom have join

alone. Energetic measures have been
taken to stem the invasion, but there
is Questionably danger that parties Of
Beers will get through into parts of the
colony and gradually raise the whole
Cape in rebellion. ReinforceTneats can
arrive none too soon. Most of the dis
patches from Cape Town describe the
raiders are doing little harm and being
happily enclosed by Lord Kitchener's

KITCHENER ON THE GROUND.
Lord Kitchener is in the heart Of the
disaffected district. He has the advan-
tage of being personally acquainted with
local conditions. Last March he super
Vised the suppression of the rising which
occurred then. He is bringing down

"Such step is now impossible owing
to the lack of sufficient troops to en-
force it,
The correspondent Of the Daily Mail
at Cape Town says: ''The pro-Boer
press is singularly quiet. They have
been made uneasy by the promptness
and thoroughness of the military actions,
but reports from various parts of the
western provinces foreshadow periiouS

ONLY WAITING A LEADER.
"a responsible authority who recently
made tour of the colony declares that
80 per cent of the Dutch are simply
waiting the appearance of u resourceful
leader to rebel.
Civil railway traffic has been suspend
ed largely in all parts of the colony and
the movements of both the Beers and
the British are almost unknown in Cape

It appears that one Boer column at

Just back from the Transvaal confirm
the report that the South African situa-
ton is most serious for the English
They say with the exception of Pretoria
and johannesburg, the whole OF the
TransvaaI and the largest part of the
Orange Free State are in the hands
of the Beers The Boer army is stronger
than the English desire to have known
and it is spread over the whole theater
of the war.
Germans are unable to understand how
the English government is able to
withhold the entire truth of the s:tua-
ton. 1t is believed here that England
will never be able to conquer the Beers,
even if Mr.. Kruger should make peace
on his private responsibility, for the
Boer commanders in the field are the
only persons that have any ultimate au-
thority.
Through going to Europe, Mr.. Kruger
has lost all the respect and sympathy of
the Beers, and his taking of SIS, ,0GJ, ,0GO
with him has not increased his popu-
larity. His wife and his other relatives
in South Africa, however, are well treat
ed by the English.
It is stated on frst-class authority
here that the Beers have plenty OF am
munition, arms and provisions, but that
they need men and horses, and that they
have received offers of aid from the
Afrikanders in Cape Colony. who have
been offended by Lord Kitchener's brut-
al course.
The news is confirmed that the British
soldiers are tired out and half starving.
while their officers take the best of the
provisions and other supplies. The Ger
mans do not believe that England can
overcome the Beers, and the son of a
West Pruss' an land owner who took sides :
with the Beers, reports that the British
can no longer afford even to keep prison.

TO PAY THREE FOR ONE
OFFER BY THE RUBBER TRUST TO
IN INREPENDENT CONCERN

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. pa spec
ial to the Sentinel from Mishawaka, Ind.
says: The United States Rubber COM
pany, the great Eastern trust which con-
trolls nearly all the rubber shoe industries
in this country, has submitted in writing
a proposition to the Misf1aWaka Rubber
Boot and Shoe company providing for
the sale of the local concern. The offer,
it is believed. includes a monetary stipu-
Iation of 100000. President Berger
stated to the Sentinel reporter that the
trust practically agreed to pay the MS
hawaka company So for each one of
actual value. The local establishment
is the most formidable rival of the trust
and three offers have been made in that
many years by the combine to gain con-
troll of the Mishawaka plant, the one re-
ceived last week, however, being the
most tempting of any by about $5OOO0o.
The correspondent secured an interview
with President NJ P. bigger, and the lat
ter declared that the proposition would
be again rejected.

''FIow much of the worlds expanding

Apparently the problem will be solved
far sooner than has been generally ex
