1t is expected that within the ensuing
month there will be a large number of
vessels arriving at this port from the
Coast and from the Colonies. 1t win
not be for long that the harbor will
remain in its present state of apparent
rest The coming of many vessels in
the near future will make things very
lively before the year is out, and the
new year will dawn with business in
a bustling state on the waterfront.

CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS.
Suggestion of q Steering Commit
tee Made, but 1t Goes Over
nv Request.

WASHINGTON, Jan. GA well-attend-
ed caucus of the Democratic members
of the house Of representatives was held
tonight. Newlands of Nevada, of the
silver party, was present by invitation of
Richardson, the Democratic floor leader,
for the purpose of presenting a. plan for
united action by all elements opposed to
the Republican organization.
The actual business transacted by the
caucus was confined to the adoption of a
resolution for the appointment OF a COM
mittee of one member from each state
to look after congressional elections and
the selection of Messrs. Underwood of
Alabama and Epyes Of Virginia as
whips" for the arrangement of pairs.
Newlands spoke at considerable length
concerning the unifcation of the elements
opposed to the political party now in
cower.
The chief interest of the evening CEN
tered in a resolution offered by Represent
tative Robertson, of Louisiana, with a view
of securing steering committee" which
would have the power to formulate the
Democratic policy on important questions
of legislation. The resolution met with
considerable favor, but some of the influ-
entail members urged Mr. Robertson not
to press the matter for the present, and he
consented to withdraw it until later.

and which are further defended by barbed
wire entanglements; intrenchments ex-
lending from Springfield almost due
west to Mount Inhlawe. about due
east of Colenso. have been de-
scribed as offering a front Of six
which defended Plevna. Under European
officers these defenses are said to have
been brought to immense strength with
railway lines for the rapid movement OF
cannon from point to point as the exigen-
cies Of attack may demand.
Besides these, Butler Is still handi-
capped by the great difficulties Of trans
portation and the lack OF mounted men.
which makes his column heavy and I'M
wieldy in comparison to the extreme mo-
bility of his opponents. Latest estimates
places the numerical strength Of the Brit
ish and Boer forces at $4,000 infantry. $500
mounted men. 1000 artillery and seventy
guns under Butler, and 1880 mounted
men, 1900 artillery and sixty guns in Gen.
Jouberts command
while the conformation Of the country,
the river and the difficulties Of ordinary
transportation, to say nothing Of rapid
turning movement, may answer the ques-
ton of the American attaches and many
others as to whether there was not way
round, they apparently rail- TO account lui-
ly for Buffers failure to destroy the enc
my's works on the south OF the river.
Reports have shown that there are
strong Boer positions on the south Of the
Tugela, both at Springfield and on Mount
Inhlawa. 1t was from the latter point
that the forces under Lord Dundonald suf-
fered most severely in the battle Of CO.
lenso on December Is. Gen. Butler has
been severely criticised for failing then to
concentrate an attack on that stronghold,
In an attempt to cut or It's force from the
main Boer body. There has been no in
formation to account for that failure or the
absence Of a similar effort since that time
at was from Mount Inhlawa that the
British were outhanked and the effective
ness of their batteries destroyed, leading
to the loss of their guns.
with the present force 1t would appear
that only lack Of mobility is holding Butler
In check, and how that condition is to be
changed for the better Is not apparent"

BERLIN, Jan. 9-The seizure Of Ger
man vessels by Great Brltain's warships
is still uppermost In the public opinion
of Germany.
Emperor William confers daily. some
times twice. with the foreign secretary,
Count Won Buelow. regarding the situ-
alton, which was described this afternoon
by well-informed official as most seri-
ous.'
Tho first British official reply to Ger
many's request for an explanation arrived
today from Lord Salisbury, but is deemed
unsatisfactory, although the foreign office
admits that its argument is plausible
from the British point Of view.
The main difference between the British
and German conceptions regarding the
justifiableness of the seizures is in the
Interpretation placed upon contraband and
right of search, and 1t seems impossible
that an agreement will soon be reached
between the two governments.

Mr.. Hoar referred to Mr. Beveridge's
statement that the present condition Of
warfare was due to utterances in this
country. This he denied, and pointed out
that in December, 1898. the president had
sent a proclamation to Gen. Otis for pub
LEGATION to the Filipinos. Gen. Otis re-
turned the proclamation with the state
terms sovereignty" right Of cession,"
etc. he was convinced they were calcu-
lated to cause an immediate outbreak Of
hostilities. Gen. Otis amended the procla-
nation by making the statement: II am

government Of the United States to seek
the establishment OF the most liberal gov
eminent in the Philippines"

actual proclamation OF the president fell
into the hands of the Filipino leaders and
precipitated hostilities. Gen. Otis had

Filipinos In which they would be able to
exercise full measure of their Individual
rights.

Hoar. He thought It bold to charge those
men who had opposed this war from the
beginning with the responsibility Of all
the blood being shed. He declared there
had not been a time when. If Gen. Otis
had been able to give assurances of inde-
pendence to the Fillpinos. the war would
have lasted ten minutes.
