SOME HARD CASES.
Portuguese and Spanish Bad Men on
Punchbowl Street.

While making a regular tour of his
district on Monday evening, Sub-in-
Fspector J. NJ. Vivas discovered seven
new occupants in the shack on Punch
bowl street owned by DR.. Alvarez. In
reply TO a question as to where they
stated that they all came from big
house on Smith street. but as the re-
hquired pass from the Board of Health
was not forthcoming, the inspector
told them that they must all return
there at once. The men who were all
{Spaniards commenced talking amongst
themselves, and in language they
would probably not have used had they
been aware that Mr.. Vivas understood
every word. They absolutely refused
to return, and recourse was had to the
police, who at about $50, removed the
whole batch from the premises and re-
turned them to the district from which
they had departed. .
. Mr.. ViVaS, states that the shack in
Question harbors crowd of the lowest
and dirtiest Portuguese and Spaniards
ne has ever seen; the premises are
lace as a disgrace to the locality, and
DIR. Alvarez is heartily condemned for
his action in maintaining a structure
Of this description. One Chinaman
only is located in the building, but no
one complains of him, as he is a cut
above the average Pake in the matter
of cleanliness. In one of the rooms no
less than ten Spaniards are living and
the inspector describes them as the
hardest set he has ever had the mis-
fortune to run against. He says that
every one Of them is an ex-soldier of
the Cuban war, and is capable OF per-
forming almost any unlawful act that
enters his head. He fears no personal
violence as a result of his action, but
has prepared himself for anything in
Ekhat line.

Fruit1ess Effort by Knox to Drive De
Wet Into the Arms of n British
Force at Reddersberge
MESSAGE FROM KITCHENER
THAT is CONSTRUED TO MEAN THE
BOERS HAVE ESCAPED AGAIN.
British Commission to Visit South
Africa and Investigate Taxable
Value of the Transvaal.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The "great battle" in
South Africa, reported by the Evening
Standard two days ago. is merely con-
tinuation of the chase that has been 60
ing on for over two weeks. The British
are trying to corner De Wet, and the latter
has adopted the tactics of the fox when
closely pursued He has doubled in his
progress several times, and some of the
military officials here believe he and his
men are being worn out and will soon be
caught. General Knox is now trying to
drive the willy Boer leader into the arms
of another British force which stands
ready to close in on the enemy. De Wet
however, understands the country thor
oughly, and the chances are two to one
he will not be run into a trap.
Lord Kitchener cables the War Office
from Pretoria, under date of Dec. II, that
General Knox reports from Helvatia that
he is engaged in a running fight with Gen.
eral De Wet and that the enemy is moving
towards Reddersburg, where there is
column ready to cooperate with other
British forces. Lord Kitchener, in another
dispatch reports that the Beers attacked
the post near Barberton. The British
casualties were three killed. five wounded
and thirteen taken prisoners. The cap
tured men have since been released. The
Beers raided the Riverton-road station
Dec. IL. They are being followed up.
General Ktcheners message indicates
that De Wet has again evaded Knox.
After the latter had foiled the Boer general
at Commassied drift. the Beers seem to
have doubled back, crossed the Caledon
river elsewhere. and turned thence north
west, in the direction of Reddersburg, the
memorable scene of the British disaster in
April, when De Wet captured the Irish
Rifles.
Forty-one proclamations of Lord Roberts
have been published. They have been most
ly summarized previously In the newspa-
pers. The last one, dated Nov. IS, says:
"As there appears to be some misunder-
standing as regards the burning of farms.
the commander-in-chief wishes the follow
ing to be the lines on which general off,
GERS commanding are to act: No farm is to
be burned except for an act of treachery,
or when our troops are fired on from the
premises, or as punishment for the break
ing of the telegraph or railway, or when
used as a base of operations for raids, and
then only with the direct consent of the
general officer commanding. The mere fact
that a burgher is absent on commando is
on no account to be used as reason for
burning his house. All cattle, wagons and
foodstuffs are to be removed from all
farms If that is imf ossible, they are to be
destroyed, whether the owner is present
or not"

ADOPTED BY THE COMMONS.


LONDON, Dec 12-While the fighting is
going on in South Africa the government
at home continues to be the object of at
tacks by members of the opposition. Con-
adorable irritation was aroused during to-
davis debate in the House of Commons on
supply Sir Robert L. Reid, @. c., painted
a gloomy picture of the conditions in
South Africa He said that after fourteen
months of war, costing f5.0OO,O0O per month.
anarchy was prevalent and famine threat
ened, and this may be followed by native
rising. An attempt to place the colonies
under military rule, he said, would imperil
the very existence of the empire. He
thought the time had arrived for offering
the Beers terms not inconsistent with
British dominion. All ideas OF uncondi-
tional surrender should be discarded.
James Brice. Liberal, followed on similar
lines. He suggested granting general am
nesty To the Beers now in arms as legti-
mate combatants. The negotiations, Mr..
Brice also said, should not be intrusted
to Sir Alfred Milner. who was the object
of almost universal distrust. including at
least half the Queens subjects in South
Africa
Mr.. Broderick, the secretary for war, hot
ly challenged Mr.. Brice's statements re-
garding Sir Alfred Milner. Sir Albert

impracticable, unwise and mischievous
The government was perfectly willing to
offer terms for surrender, so long as il
could not be interpreted as proof OF
weakness. and. therefore, cause prolonga-
ton of the guerrilla warfare.
After further recrimination the report
of supply was agreed to
During subsequent discussion in the COM
mittee on ways and meane. the chancellor
of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-B Beach,
promised that a considerable proportion of
the cost OF the should be from the
Transvaal. He added that a treasury COM
mittee was about to proceed to the Trans
vaal TO ascertain their assets and their
taxable capacity. Sir Miller Barbour. con-
tinued the chancellor OF the exchequer, had
been selected for this task. The resolution
was then agreed 10 and the House ad-

WANT THEIR CHILDREN.
Indians Threaten to Burn n. school
and Troops Are Ordered Out.

WHITE ROCK. Utah. Dec. 12.-At the
request of Agent Myton, Troop X, from
Fort Duchesne. was ordered out this even
ing to prevent trouble at the Uintah agency.
Over thirty children in the school are down
with measles and other diseases, and their
parents have been much dissatisfied be-
cause the children were not allowed to go
home. One girl died last night. Black
Hawk went to the school this morning and
demanded the release OF his children.
O'Connor, teacher, made some show of
resistance and was thrown down stairs and
the children taken by force. Several other
children were taken away by other Indians.
Threats We're made to burn the school
buildings, and the agent called upon Major
Hughes for help.
