The center of the move- nlent is said to be Paarl, a village about thinty miles from Capetown, where a meet ing of the Afrlkander bund was held yes- terday.
 "A similar meeting was held at Rich mond on December 2S, and 1t is reported that the members of the bund in these. two towns are acting in concert.
 The members of the bund at Willington and the Dutch in Clanwilliam district are said to be armed with Mausers and to be anxious to use them in behalf of the Boers.
 Although the stories of a rising are dis credited, the police and military are taking ample precautions.

 Yesterday afternoon a big force of cav- airy and infantry, with ten guns, under the personal command of Gen. French, mov- ing to detour. occupied some hills three miles from Colesburg, where the Boers were in strength, confident in the natural aid afforded them by the hills.
 ''The enemys position extended six miles around the entire village. At daybreak our artillery opened the battle. The Boers were taken by surprise, but replied vigor- ously. An atillery duel was maintained for two hours. Then Boer Hotchkiss collapsed and was abandoned. We cap- tured it. A Boer big gun was silenced, but this and the other Boer guns were with drawn ito the northward, whither we are harassing the Boer retreat by damaging shell fire.
 ''Colesburg is in our hands, and the few remaining loyalists are jubilant We have captured many wagons and considerable quantity of stores.
 ''Our losses were quite slight, but the

ANTITRUST MOVEMENT
Statement Issued as Result of Short
 Conference

Chicago, January 1-Members of the ex- conference to be held in Central Music hall February 12, held short conference today at the sherman house. M. L. Lockwood, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee. afterward issued statement in which he said
 Every day the antitrust sentiment throughout the country Is being intensified. and everywhere the cry is going up, What can be done to save the country from the oppression of trusts?
 The mission of the conference Is to an- swer this cry. To the political economists and statesmen of the conference rather than to the politicians of the country will the people look for an utterance which will lead to their deliverance.
 '"The axe should be laid to the root of the tree of special privileges. The~plan is to treat the causes rather than the effect, to strike at special privileges hard and land first. In government ownership only can railway favoritism be prevented. Govern- ment contro! under corporate ownership has proven a failure. In order to destroy the trusts we must take from them the special advantages which have created them, and they will wither of their own weight as they meet the energetic competitive capaci- ty of the American people.
 Tt is the plan to organize all who are op- posed to trusts with the view of uniting the friends of freedom in every state, coun- ty and school district in that concentrated action, which alone can prove effective"

Manila, January 1.-qO:So p. m.)-The first movement of a general southern advance occurred this morning, when two battahons of the Thirty-ninth infantry landed and oc. cupied Cabuyao, on the south side of Lay guna de Bay Two Americans were killed and four wounded. Twenty-four of the enemy's dead were found in one house. One hundred and fifty prisoners and four six- pounder rapid fire guns were captured.
 The gunboat Laguna de Bay bombarded the town before the disembarkation of the troops from Caseoes, which was made un- der the enemy's shrapnel fire The enemy evacuated the place before the charging Americans, retreating to Santa Rosa, to which 'toaaa> they were pursued.
 Heavy fighting occurred along the road t. Santa Rosa, which was oceupiAh the ing. surgents retreating south toward Silal,.P The Americans burned the country be- tween and around Cabuyao.
 The gunboat returned to Ca1amba for endorsements and thence came to Manila to fetch ammunition. She recently cap tured two of the enemy's steam launches, under the fire of artillery at Calamba, and also four cascoes loaded with rice.
 Other Regiments Mobilizing
 Other regiments are mobilizng tonight at San Pedro. Macati and Pasig, prepara- tory to continuing the southern advance.
 Yesterdays capture of bombs involved the seizure of documents inculpating a thousand Filipinos who intended to rise against the Americans Papers We're also found showing a distribution of the city into districts and careful assignment of leaders and followers. The precautions taken by the Americans on Saturday, it is now evident, alone prevented an up- rising.
 The provost marshal has requested that two regiments be detailed for the protec- tion of Manila. Three thousand troops are now actually in the city.

The American Soldier.

A British officer has been giving
his countrymen, through the press,
his estimate of the American soldier
as viewed in China, and his cOnclu-
sions are exceedingly mplimentary.
He says the American soldiers on
the march appeared to be an army of
tramps, but when they got near the
enemy every Englishman felt like
taking off his hat every time he met
one of them. He adds:
When you see an American private
advancing under fire you begin to
think there is something in the idea
that the fighting unite of the future
is in the individual. The private acts
for himself and by himself. He and
his companions make for a common
objective, not like the stiff trained
soldiers, but like panthers seeking a
prey. Their eyes flash, their 1.-the
bodies swing forward. There is
murder and deadly Indebtedness in

stealthiness the Americans in battle
have a most reckless courage. AT
times they expose themselves with a

would care to take. The field bat
terry was generally found in places
where anybody read in tactics would
not have cared to put it, General
Chaffee and his staff always rode
where the enemy was most likely tC
see and shoot at them.
Not only is the American soldier q
good fighter, but he exhibits better
self control than any other. He die

dences with the European soldiery

A DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE.

Governor Thomas, of Colorado, has
refused to honor requisition by Gov
ernor Mount of Indiana, for the return
to the latter state of a malefactor
who has sought refuge in Colorado.
Governor Thomas reason for his re-
fusal is Governor Mounts attitude in
the case of Fraudulent Governor Tay-
Tor Of Kentucky. 1t will be remem-
bered that Taylor was accused Of
completely in the cowardly assassina-
ton of Governor Goebel and fled to
New York to escape trial for his crime.
New York has republican governor
who refused to surrender the Ken
lucky fugitive. Then Taylor went to
Indiana and requisition was made up
on Governor Mount for his return, but
the requisition was dishonored for the
reason given by Mount, that Tay.
lor could not get a fair trial in his
own state. Since then several of
Taylor's accomplices in the murder OF
Goebel have been tried in Kentucky
and there has been no intimation
that they have not received fair
trial, but Mount still persists in shield
ing Taylor, who is accused of one OF
the blacklist crimes ever committed
on the dark and bloody ground"
The action of Governor Thomas
while it is to be condemned on genera,
principles, is to be commended in this
particular case. Mount deserves s
rebuke. The people of Indiana SHOULD

criminals from other states, is no.

GIVE THE LEGISLATORS A SHOW

The anti-gambling agitation has
made it's regular biennial appearance.
These agitations are cOincident with
the meetings of the legislature. About
four years ago the agitation resulted
in what is known as the Chandler an
tigambling law, the penalties of which
are so severe that they defeat their
purpose, and gambling has been car
ried on ever since almost as openly
as it ever was. For some reason or
other the Butte gambling resorts are
closed down a month in advance of
the legislative session. Just what is
the reason is not apparent. 1t can
not be that the gambling fraternity ex-
pect to delude the legislators into the
belief that the law is to be observed
any longer than the legislature is in
session, for Montana legislatures are
not composed of such mentally OBJ
fuse individuals that they can be-
fooled by any such apparent sub
terfuge. Perhaps it is the intention
to transfer the gambling operations to
Helena and confine them to that town
exclusively during the legislative SEES.
sions so that the state Solons may
be initiated into the mysteries and
fascination of the roulette wheel,
the faro layout and the engaging pas
time of draw poker at dollar ante.
There are several reasons why
gambling should be confined to Helena
during the legislative session. One
of them is that it affords legislators
ready explanation of their possession
of large wads of dough- la Geiger
Another is that when legislator
takes hand in quiet game of draw
and wins more in two hours than two
weeks legislative salary amounts to
it is hard to convince him that the
playing of such game should be
made even a misdemeanor. Still an
other reason is that the legislator
who CANDLES or plays poker, is likely
to have serious objections to the re
striction of his right to enjoy him
self and spend his salary as he see
fit, so long as he does not interfere
with the right of others to do tn
same thing.
Altogether there seems to be goo,
grounds for the suppression of gaml

They wandered far inland, in Ill:

this country and had found that they
