St. Johns, y. F.. Jan. 1.-THE fol.

wreck in St. Mary's bay that could be-

The ship is two-masted steamer Of

be on fire by residents si1 miles away.
Attracted to the seece they found the

Kerosene in tie cargo helped the
blaze. At that time only three men
were left on board. Two were Oh the

along the shore made every possible

Inspector-General Breckinridge, re-
porting to Secretary Root, suggests the
employment of officers returned from
foreign service, and unable to perform
other duty, as professors of military
science at military colleges. There
are many indications that the reign
OF peace is yet far OF, and until the
millennial sun chases away the martial
clouds that brood over every land it
may be wise to instruct the youth OF
the country betimes in military drill
and discipline. A defensive force will
always be necessary here as elsewhere,
and this plan offers congenial and easy
tasks to men whose health has been
injured in their country's service, and
promises to provide at least a frame
work on which to build up an efficient
force to meet any national emer-
gency.

that the Beers are preparing 10 leave

BULLER.S MOVEMENTS.
Surrounded by Complete Silence

Not Believed That He Has Met With
q Reverse.
London. Jan. 16-Lord Roberts enig-
matical announcement No change in
the situation does nothing to allay
public anxiety or to explain the silence
surrounding Buffers movements Oh the
Tugela, and although there is dispo-
sition to regard the dispatch as dis
posing of Saturdays adverse rumor,
the week has opened in state of sus-
pense almost equal to that of last week
because it is recognized that failure in
Gen. Buffers present attempt would
seal the fate Of Ladysmith. Presuma-
bly, mo change in the situation refers
to previous dispatches sent to the war
Office which have not yet been revealed
to the public. Except the announce
ment of the seizure Of Pottgeirers
drift and of the advance of Gen. War
ren, there has been no news from the
Tugela for week. A ray Of hope is
in the fact that the same silence pre-
walls from the Boer side Thus. it
may, perhaps. be fairly inferred that
Gen. Butler has not yet met serious
check. II the announcement of Gen.
Warren's movement be correct. it is
evident that Gen. Buffers forces are
spread over a very wide front-per-
haps twenty-five miles-and in the
event Of a sudden fall of the river. his
operations might be full of danger. 1t
is believed that Gen. Butler has no
good survey maps of the district.
This will add to his difficulties. Sir
Charles Warren's advance probably
means an attempt to seize Hlangwan
hill. the main post of the Beers south
of the Tugela. Upon the success or
failure Of these operations depends the
whole future of the campaign. Until
the result is known Lord Roberts will
be unable to decide how to dispose of
the two divisions and the reinforce
ments now arriving.

German Government Lays Down the

Berlin. Jan. IA. - The semi official

be compatible with strict neutrality to

Germany either to Great Britain or to

it was reported that Herr Krupp was
making steel shells for Great Britain,
the firm was promptly requested to
stop any intended dispatch Of arms,
guns, ammunition or other war mu-
nitions to either belligerent.
