Wyman Sells Ais Propertv.

The divorce suit of Celia Wyman
VS.. Henry M. Wyman, started in the
district court at Colorado Springs,
several days ago, is developing con-
siderable interest in various ways.
The suit filed about two weeks ago
was afterwards withdrawn at the cost
of the plaintiff. In this the plaintiff
charged the defendant with cruelty
and asked for suitable alimony, allee-
ing that he was worth about $780,
600. The suit was dismissed for the
purpose of filing another. but before
the second suit was filed, the defend-
ant took step toward his own de-
fense. He filed with the county
clerk bill of sale of his jewelry and
curio store and other real estate hold
ings to his son Charles Wymen. II
is expected that the plaintiff will pc
tition to have the sale set aside pend
ing the suit which she has filed.

TransvaaI VIII Not Permit
American Consul to
Represent British.

London, Jan. 9-Further news of
General Whites victory is anxiously
awaited as it is generally realized to-
day that there is little warrant for
the exultation which followed the
announcement of his repulse of the
Beers. The remarkable revolution
of Boer tactics has been another COM
plete surprise to the British who had
not reckoned on the weakened gar
rison being subjected to such cour-
ageous assault, and it is realized that
Whites troops cannot be expected 20
greatly prolong such an arduous de-
fense. In some quarters it is con-
sidered unaccountable that Butler did
not press the attempt to effect a pas
sage of the Tugela river while the
Beers were engaged northwards. and
comment on his apparent supineness
is nowise complimentary.
From Boer headquarters it is re
ported that Butler is constructing a
subsidiary railroad from the main line
to Colenso, westwardly in the direc-
ton of Potgeeters Drift.
Advices from the Modder River say
the Beers continue to extend their
works and 1t is estimated that 10000
men will be required to defend them.
Little change is apparent in the po-
sition of Colesburg General French
reported at war Office Sunday morning
january 7, that he had reconnOitered
with squadron of household cavalry
on the Beers east flank, two miles
from Achterlang. and drew a consid--
cradle force of Burghers, who being
anxious for their communication with
Norvalspont, withdrew.
A dispatch from Frere Camp, last
Sunday night, said that all was quiet
there, thus dispelling the widespread
hopes that General Butler had fol-
lowed up the demonstration before
Colenso, with an effective move else
where. The latest news from Bloem.
fontein says the officials there recog-
nize that they must evacuate the town
at an early date and are securing
houses at Pretoria. 1t is also an
nounced that the hospitals at Bloem-
fontein and elsewhere are packed
with wounded men.

viii Resume Ice Cutting Monday.
For the past eight days workmen
have been working like beavers on the
Aqua Pura dams at the Hot Springs
and Superintendent Pierce announces
that the cutting of ice will be resunl-
ed Monday. All the dams have been
completed except the big dam which
will not be raised quite so high this
winter as it was before it was washed
out. The ice house here Is half full
of ice and a weeks cutting will 81
both it and the one at La Junta, which
is nearly as large, and the suDerin.-
tendent says that all contracts will
be easily filled within a short time
after cutting is again begun, after
which the large houses, which have
been doubled in capacity to what they
have ever been heretofore, viii be
filled. Mr.. Pierce is of the opinion
that the weather will permit the cut
ting of ice up to the middle of March
this year, though all the com
pany's contracts and ice houses will
be filed long before that time

Dewey Presented a Loving Cup
by Chlldren-A Dutch Cruiser
Reported Fired Upon.

Washington, Jan. 9-In the senate
Allen of Nebraska, offered resclu-
tion calling on the secretary of war
for information as to the names Of
transports, the persons from whom
they were acquired, the prices paid
and all other information relating TO
the transport service. 1t was adopt
ed.
At the conclusion of the routine
business, Beveridge, of Indiana, was
recognized for a speech on the Philip.
pine question. The text of his ad'-
dress was the resolution which he Of
fered few days ago which declares,
eThat the Philippines are territol =
belonging to the United States, that
it is the intention of the United States
to retain them as such and establish
and maintain such governmental con-
troll throughout the archipelago as
the situation may demand" 1t was 4
brilliant audience which gathered to
hear the maiden effort in the senate
of the young Indianian. Throughout
the speech which was very long, Bev-
eridge commanded the attention of his
colleagues in the senate and auditors
both on the floor of the chamber and
in the galleries.
Hoar followed Beveridge and ad--
dressed himself to the Indiana senator
with great earnestness. 1t would be
a base thing, he said, for this country
to strike down the young republic in
the Philippines. He said he could
prove from both Otis and Deweys
reports, that the Filipinos had gov
ernment. Otis, in all his communi-
cations said the people of the Philip
pines desired to establish their indie
pendence. Hoar said Aguinaldo was
brought over and placed ait the head
of 10000 people who desired inde--
pendence, and who were furnished
arms by the, United States goycr-
ment
Hoar said that General Otis took
the most extraordinary liberty ever
taken by military commander, aud
suppressed McKinley's proclamation,
and issued one of his own in its place.
Hoar dwelt upon promises which
Otis made January 1st, 1899, when
he guaranteed liberty and freedom to
people. Hoar said the document
which Otis did not wish published
because it would bring on war ant
which he desired to amend, was pub.
lished. He asked il there was any
senator, who was not so blind be-
cause of the blare of empire, who
could appreciate Aguinaldo's reply tt
Otis. He said the state papers G
the Filipinos were able and their con
stitution was admirable He declared
it was little bold to charge with tt,
responsibility of making this war
the men who tried to stop it. He salt
a guarantee of the proclamation O
Otis, of January LIST, 1899, would hav
stopped the var, but at the sam
time the Filipinos got that othe
proclamation which proclaimed soy
ereignty Of the United States owe
the islands and which said the Fill
pinos had been bought like a flock G
sheep.

New York, Jan. 9-The handsome
dwelling of Joseph Pulitzer, proprio-

East Fifty-fifth street was destroyed
by fire today and at least one life was
lost. When the flames had been extin
guished and search made of. the
ruined interior, the bodies of two wo-
men were found, badly burned,
thought to be the housekeeper, Mrs
Jellett, and the governess, Miss Eliza
beth Montgomery. The origin ol
the fire is unknown, but it is thought
it must have started in the basement
or lower portion, by defective elec
trio wiring. The house contained q
valuable historical library, and many
carefully selected works of art
Nothing of value was saved. Tho
total loss is estimated at 100000.

Committee Takes Up The Subject
And It IL Intimated That
Some Opposition
MAY BE EXPECTED IN HOUSE.

Several days ago Senator Wellington
presented memorial from the Mayor
and City Council OF Annapolis urging
the Government TO purchase land in An
napolis for the Naval Academy. 1t was
represented that while the ground was
not essential to the academy. its acquisi-
ton would be very timely. as 1t can be
purchased now at much more reason
able figure than after the improvements
at the academy are completed and the
property improved.
From questions put by members oi the
committee II appeared there would be
opposition, both in the committee and on
the floor of the House. against any ap-
preparation for continuing this work from
the same quarter as that OF last year.
Mr.. Mudd is, however. quite confident
OF being able TO obtain sufficient appro-
priaiion for the academy in the face OF
the opposition. even though there should
be an uniavoiable committee report.
The appropriation of s.. .o7I COO re-
quesed by the Secretary of the Navy for
this purpose is divided among the follow
ing items: For the construction of the
quarters for the naval cadets, to cost
$. SGT. 600. $3.50. 900; for the installation
OF a power house. $2oo, 900; for the con-
struc,ion of a general storage warehouse.
workshop and stables. $500. 900; to con-
iinue the construction of the sea wall;
s2oo. 900; for foundations for gun bate
ries, 500. 900; for brick subway for con-
ducting power and water mains. $2S 900;
for the restoration Of the present library
building as resident for the superin-
tsndent. $40. 900; for relaying walks. S.
600; extending and renewing FIRE, sewer
age and flushing systems, $4,000; for

chase of land between the academy

tween the academy grounds and King
