Indian scare in Canada.

Montreal, Jan. l6.-There is fear of the
Canadian Indians in the northwest rising
owing to the withdrawal of some of the
mounted police for the Transvaal. The
condition is considered serious. Clifford
Sifton, minister of the interior, and the
commissioner have telegraphed the Indian
agents to warn the Indians that miscon-
duct on their part will mean a stoppage
of the government bounty and any out
break will be suppressed by force. The
white men and half-breeds who have been
doing their best to foment trouble will be
made to leave the country.

GENERAL BUTLER ADVANCES
CROSSED THE TUGELA RIVER.
General Warren's DivisiOn-Many

king BOmbarded.

Cape Town. Jan. 1.-THE authorities
have received news that General Warren
has crossed the Tugela and occapied Il
strong position north of the river.
This report has been current here, but
is discredited in official circles.
London, Jan. l7.-Up to the present the
reported crossing of Tugela river by Cen
eral Warren's division remains but rumor.
Nevertheless, the whole tenor of such
news as has been dribbling in from South
Africa recently indicates that combined
movement OF a comprehensive character
is proceeding. 1t is not necessary to be-
lieve uncontirmed stories of the Beers
being in full retreat from Colenso because
it has been learned that column is pro-
ceeding via Weenen to help Maker TO
cut oil their retreat, but at the same time
credible information from many sources
indispntably points to momentous
changes in the disposition of the republic
forces.
Military men are divided in opinion as
to whether Butler is at Springfield or per.
sonally directing II flank movement from
the report that the British have crossed
the 1ugea river in that direction, al.
though there is no confirmation of the
report and altogether there is more
hopeful feeling in official circles. There
is little news of Importance from else
where.
French's forces have succeeded in drag
ging l5-pounder to the summit of steep,
rocky Coleskop, a thousand feet above the
surrounding plain, and they successfully
routed a Boer camp three miles away
from Stomstroom. An interesting item
of news is that Beers escorting a party
of reapers have successfully gathered all
the troops within two miles of the colo

being too weak to interfere

Berlin, Jan. l6.-The correspondent OF
the Associated Press learns from an Of
fetal source that Germany has addressed
a second protest to Great Britain, urgently
requesting the release of the German
steamer Bundesrath and expressing aston
ishment at the undue delay. The protest
also demands guarantees from Great Brit
ain against recurrence OF such evident
wrongful and excessive application OF i
combatant's rights against neutrals."
1t also requests Great Britain to define
the meaning OF contraband in a manner
acceptable to the nations not concerned
in the war.

London, Jan. l6.-The veil concealing

is still untitled. II is impossible to doubt
that this absolute closing of all the chan

doubled since the landing of Lord Rob
erts and Lord Kitchener, concerning whom
nothing has transpired since the announce
ment of their arrival at Cape Town.

THE FRENCH AID THE Beers.
OFFICERS ENLIST WITH Beers
Are Trained Men-Mflitary Men in
France Favor the Boers-All Tx
press Hatred for England-strict
Censorship.

New York, Jan. lG.-A Paris special
says:
Enthusiasm for the Beers is assuming a
substantial shape among the French mil
itary men. According to an investigation
made by Henri Rochefort, 2ll French Of
ficers have thrown up their commissions
and have already taken service in the
Transvaal army. Colonel de Villebois-Mar-
er,il, chief of staff to General Joubert, is
acclaimed as hero of Colenso and is de-
scribed in the Partisan press as the COM
mander who has inflicted upon the English
their most dramatic defeat since the battle
of Yorktown. Portraits of de Villebois-
Mareuil appear in newspapers and in sAop
windows. He bids fair to replace Mar
chand as the popular favorite of the mo-
ment.
Popular enthusiasm becomes keener
with each week that the war lasts, but
those who have had the most experience
in gauging true national sentiment in
France say that the present outburst OF
feeling is caused not by love for Beers,
but hatred toward England. Each British
check is described by military organs like
the Echo de Paris as Revenge for Fash
oda."
1t seems well established now that it
was the Belgian general of engineers, Cen
eral De Brailmont, who, as an engineer
officer enjoys the reputation in Europe
and America of being at the head of his
profession, who drew up the plan of cam
paign for Kruger, which Joubert and other
Transvaal leaders have so scrupulously
followed
