GENERAL BULlER GOT AWAY
AVOIDED A DEADLY TRAP
The Balloon Gave Great Help to the
British-Boers Tried 70 Fool Them
"A Rumor That White Is Trying
10 Get Out of Ladysmith.

London, Feb. ia special dispatch
from Springfield Bridge, gives a new ex-
PLANTATION of General Buffers retirement.
According to this dispatch, a bslloonist
on Wednesday discovered the fact that the
Beers had developed extraordinary and
unexpected artillery strength on Doom
Kloof, to the British right, where they
had managed to draw up dozen heavy
guns, some fitted with disappearing
mountings, and all cunningly masked.
These, but for the balloonist, would nev-
er have been discovered in time to save
the British from falling into the deadly
trap, as they commanded the road the
British would have had to take in order
to reach Lady smith. These guns rendered
the actual positions Of the British unten-
able and further advance impossible,
except at the cost of a terrible and useless
loss OF life.
London, Feb. 1.-THE war Office still
maintains silence regarding the situation
at the seat OF war, announcing at II 80
last evening that no further news had
been received, and none has come from
other sources which would give clew TO
General Buffers movements since he re-
crossed the Tugela OF to the present posi-
tions of the forces.

Boer AggresnIveness.

The left horn of the Boer army is creep
ing through Zululand and threatening the
British right, and at Chieveley General
Joubert, with 6OO0 men, is reported to be
endeavoring to attack Butler. Boer ag.
gressiveness has already developed and
has met with repulse at Rensberg, while
from what now becomes the most inn
portant point OF campaign-Modder river
comes news OF ceaseless activity and re-
doubled vigilance. These reports create a
hopefulness in Great Britain rather than
anxiety, for the impression exists that
Boer aggressiveness will give the British
troops their long looked for opportunity
and tend greatly to assist the broad plan
OF the campaign which Roberts may
shortly be expected to set in motion at
Modder river.

the Beers have brought all their big
guns from Mafeking to shell Kimberly.

their trenches. but their numbers are
apparently reduced. The bulk Of their
force has gone to Kimberly or toward

Rensburg. Feb. 1.-THE Beers out
flanked the British here. A consider
able force Of the enemy was threaten
ing the British communications be-
tween Rensburg and Slingersfonteln,
12 miles away. and during reconnais-
sance by some Inniskillens and 20 Aus
trallans from Slingersfontein. the
Beers were discovered attempting to
get gun into position to shell the Brit
ish camp. The Australians having
come into very close contact with the
enemy, took cover under a hill about
5000 yards from the camp. Thereupon
the Beers took up position with a
view of preventing their retirement.
Some burghers got within 200 yards Of
the Australians and called upon them
TO surrender. They replied by fixing
bayonets and shouting defiance.

the living soul will cry to the dead and
the creature to its God, and Of all this
crying there comes nothing. The lift

they went into the house together.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
Upon Many Interesting Topics, IncIud-
Ing Work In Our New Territory.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual
report of Secretary Root is of more
than usual interest owing TO its wide
scope and the fact that it treats of
subjects of such Importance as the
Philippine insurrection, the Chinese
campaign, the developments in Cuba
and Porto Rico and finally, with the
subject of army reorganization.
The chapter of the report treating
of military operations in the Phil:
ippines is recital of the features
Quoted in the islands during the past
year. It is said that the purpose was
to pursue the small bands of Filipinos
scattered throughout the islands.
The effort was successful and re-
suited in the further and practically
complete disintegration of the insur-
rectionary bands; in the rescue of
nearly all the American and Spanish
prisoners; in the capture of many of
the leading insurgents and the de-
struction of large quantities of arms
and supplies. Secretary Root says
that with the execution of the mill
tary plans there, all formal and ol,en
resistance to American authority in
the Philippines terminated, leaving
only an exceedingly vexatious and an
noying guerrilla warfare, of a charac-
ter closely approaching brigandage,
which will require time, patience and
good Judgment to finally suppress.
Touching Cuba the report says that
the conduct of affairs there during
the year has been continuance of
the process of aiding the Cuban peo-
pie in the development Of the Cuban
government in such way that, when
fully organized, it shall be stable and
efficient. This has been done by
guiding the Cubans in the first steps
of systematic self-government, and by
introducing, mainly through Cuban
officers, such reforms in administra-
ton as shall serve to put the bust
ness of government in fairly good con-
dition when a complete Cuban adj
ministration finally assumes control
of the government of the island.
In Porto Rico, where the army con-
trolled up to the first of May, it's
principal function was the improve
ment of the civil administration, ac-
customing the people to the exercise
of the powers of government and con-
tinuing the work of relief made neces-
sary by the deplorable condition in
which the island had been left by The
great hurricane. The secretary ac-
cepts as his own Gen. Davis state
ment as to the creditable way in
which the army discharged the trust
committed to it in Porto Rico, and
he adds an expression of grateful ap-
probation of the devotion, Judgment,
good temper and ability exhibited by
Gen. Davis.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
oniy one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness .(caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
