THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Dispatches from Sterkstroom re
ceived last light indicate that the Beers
hove been trying to draw Gen. Sir VIII
liam Forbes Gatacre 90 into the cOuD
try which was the scene of his recent
reverse.
A forcs of Beers from Stormberg al
vanced on Molteno, 10 miles to the
south, and attacked he British outpost
there. They occupied the town and
then proceeded five miles farther south
to Cyphergat, where they began shell
log an sImored train.
As the Beers had probably expected
Gen. Gstacre moved out from Sterk
stroOm, Is miles south OF Cyphergat,
with several thousand troops. When
he reached Cgphergat the Beers retired
without firing q shot. Gatscre contiD
ued on to Molteno, which he had en
tered at last advices. The Beers, it il
supposed, seek to lure him into the
mountainous country north of MoltenO,
where he was defeated once before.
Gen. French continues to fight near
Colesburg but is unable to capture that
town. Reinforcements from De Aar
have been sent to him.
The Beers are threatening Gen.
Methuen's rear at Belmont, 33 miles
south Ct his position at the MOdder
river.
Colonel Pitcher, who occupied the
town of Douglas, northwest Of Be-
mont, has been forced to retreat with
his Canadian and Australian troop.
A London dispatch states that General
CroDje sent four hundred Beers toDouq-
las, but Pitcher managed to get back
safely to Belmont, where no remains.
General Buffers naval guns fired
shells at Colenso from long range yes
terdsy, but there is no sign of the be-
ginning of the great battle at close
quarters which is daily expected there.
A dispatch from the Boer camp at Co.
lenso says the British naval guns al
Cheveley continue their ineffective long
range fire in order to divert Boer =
tention from the movements of the
troops" Evidently General Pet j.
Joubert, the Beer commander-in. chief,
has his eye on these movements.
General Joubert preached in the Boer
camp near Ladysmith on Sunday.
General Lucas Meyer has resumed

Manila, Jan. 5.-Lieut. Gilmore Of

bars of the boats crew captured with
Gilmore and all the other American
prisoners who were captured from time
to time and dragged along by the ma
tives as they fed before the Americans.
The wholesale rescue OF the Americans
is due to the efforts of Col. Hare and
Lieut.. Col. Howe, who with u few bur

the mountains north and east of Vigsn
and forced them to release their cap.

JUDGING from the speech Mr.. Hoar

supposed that change has come over
the spirit of his dreams in respect OF the

cannot believe there has been no degen-
eracy In that body, when majority
of it's members refuse to sustain re-
quest for Information concerning the
most important interests ofthe country
And then, too, when he looks around
him and compares his colleagues with
the men who formerly occupied their

mistake when he said the Senate had
