Blizzard in England.

London, Feb. l6.-The effects of the
blizzard which started today We're felt
throughout Great Britain. Trains
were showed up in all directions, street
car lines blocked and telegraph and
telephone wires are down. There has
teen great number of accidents due
to falling chimneys, roof states and
similar causes. Mail vans and people
travelling by foot in the country dis
tricts are reported missing, and several
persons have been found frozen to death
in exposed places.
The streets OF London are in fearful
condition from snow and sleet, and
many pedestrians have sustained frac-
tured limbs from falling OH icy pave
ments. Horses have suffered greatly,
many having to be shot after breaking
their legs. Severe gales have swept
the coast.

BACK TO RENSBERC
British Forced to Retire From
the Colesberg District.
BOERS WERE IN GREAT FORCE
a Counter stroke That May Cause
Roberts to Change His Plans
Buffers Intentions.

london, Feb. 15.-The news OF the
day is the enforced retirement of the
British from the Colesberg district un.
der heavy Boer pressure, and probably
after brisk fighting. Thus at time
when Lord Roberts is apparently able
to push an army into the Free State,
the Beers make counter stroke in UNI
known, but seemingly great force, not
far from the vital line OF railway con-
Meeting De Aar and Orange river.
Military observers do not regard this as
more than menace. Nevertheless,
the news produces an unpleasant inn
preston here.
General French had maneuvered the
Beers out of Rensberg in December.
January l., it was reported that he
could take Colesberg in two days with
re-enforcements. These were sent, but
the Beers were also re-enforced. Since
then the British lines have been en-
tended east and west, SO that at the
opening OF this week they constituted
great horseshoe, 25 miles in length.
The lines We're not continuous, but all
the strong positions were held.
General French, when he joined Gen.
eral Roberts, took most of his cavalry.
General Clements was left with the in.
fantry to hold the Beers in check, but
Commandment Delaney, with double
turning movement, has compelled the
British to concentrate at Rensberg be-
sides threatening Roberts communica-
tions. The Boer mastery of the district
has caused spread of the insurrec
ton, but this. no doubt, will be
promptly suppressed, as large British
forces are available not far away.
The indications as to General Buffers
immediate intentions are contradictory.
One informant, who has intimate rela-
tions with the war Office, predicts
within the next day or two.
A number of correspondents who have
been with General Butler have gone to
Durham for few days rest, under the
that nothing is to be done
Immediately.
The war Office has directed the
Eighth division of 10000 men to pre-
pare to 60 out.

London, Feb. 16.-General Roberts,
with the bulk OF the British army oper.
ating against the Beers, has succeeded
in entering the Free State and has
made the first step in his advance to-
ward Bloemfontein. General French
has turned the Boer line, and with
some 20, 900 men. has seized crossing
OF the Modder river, to the east OF
Jacobsdal, thus placing himself between
Cronje's army and the capital of the
Orange Free State. Reinforcements are
being hurried up to him. The main
Boer army in that section has not yet
been encountered, but great battle is
imminent.
As shown by the dispatches of Lord
Roberts to the war office, the movement
began Monday, when Colonel llannay
set out with brigade OF mounted in
fantry from Ramah, on the Riet, eight
miles from Jacobsdal, the Boer supply
base.
Monday, General French, with the
cavalry division, seized the crossing Of
the Riet river at Dekil's drift. south of
]acobsdal, and IS miles east OF Honey
Nest kloof. He skirmished with the
Beers and cleared the way for 10000
infantry. who followed across.
Tuesday, with his three cavalry bri.
gades and the horse artillery, General
French rode to the Modder river, dis.
lance of 25 miles, and took three fords
with high ground beyond the river,
and five Boer camps. He had few
casualties in brushes with the Boer

CAlNA'S NEW POLICY.
Will Resist Foreign Territorial Ar.
grandizement.

New York, Feb. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
DEGREES issued by the empress dowager
of China, which have just reached the
state department, show that new
policy of defense against foreign terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT has been adopted
by the Peking government. These de-
crees further show that though it is
not generally known here, the relations
between China and France several
months ago were so strained that the
empress dowager apprehended hostili.
ties with the latter power.
Those acquainted with the Chinese
affairs are disposed to regard the de.
crees rs significant OF the belief of the
empress and her advisors that China is
sufficiently prepared to resist by force
OF arms all further aggressions OF for
eign powers upon Chinese territory,
and that her future policy will be in
line with this view. In fact, one de.
cree goes to the extent of empowering
officials to declare war upon any foreign
power attempting to seize territory be-
longing to the jurisdiction under their
control. Issued by the tsung.i-yamen,
in compliance with the empress in
structiOns, the first decree is communi.
Gated to the viceroys and governors OF
the maritime and Yang-tse province.
1t reads:
"As the Italians have not had their
ambitions gratitied in respect to the
cession of San Nun bay to them, it is
apprehended that they may try to find
opportunity for Selling other portions
OF our coast. Moreover, the arbitrary
and aggressive actions of the French at
kwang Chou, where they are stirring
up disturbances in order to obtain fur
Their pretexts for demanding conces-
sions from the imperial government,
may lead to actual hostiities between
China and France.
''It behooves us, therefore, to exer.
else the utmost vigilance and watch-
fulness to be always prepared to resist
an enemy. Your excellency is there.

generals and commanders of troops gar

jurisdiction; and not only this, but to
be prepared also to give aid to your
brother viceroys and governors whose
territories adjoin your own"

the Using Tao forts when the German
fleet seized Kiao Chou bay, and was be-
headed for his action in surrendering
them to the invaders.

Revolution in Venezuela.

New York, Feb. l5.-A dispatch to

The revolution under the leadership of
General Hernandez in Venezuela is
gaining rapidly. The revolutionists,
under General Medina, attacked and
defeated the government troops under
General Cotina, near Coro, the capital
of the state of Falcon. The capital is
being held by the revolutionists.
At Port Chichininrihi, which is near
Puerto Cabello, battle has taken
place between the government troops
and the rebels, resulting in victory
for the revolutionists. This engage
ment has created great excitement in
Puerto Cabello, particularly among the
foreign residents.

No War Supplies.

Chicago, Feb. IA special to the
Chronicle from FL Paso, Tex, says:
The Mexican government now pro.
hibits the entrance of arms and ammu-
milton to the state of Sonora, owing to
the revolution now in progress there
American miners who have heretofore
been permitted to carry rifles and six.
shooters and belts full OF cartridges into
Sonora are now prevented from carry.
ing any arms whatever, and are stripped
OF ammunition at Nogales and Naco.
This order was issued because it was
reported that Americans were pouring
into Sonora in the guise Of miners
while their real object was to assist
the rebellious Yaquis in gaining their
freedom.
The new orders are enforced by Mex
leo only ar Arizona ports OF entry, and
persons entering Sonora via FL Paso
and Casa Grandes are permitted to
carry all the arms and ammunition de-
sired. Many persons have taken adj
vantage of this to convey these contra
band goods into the hostile country.
