ANCIENT ORDER
 OF HIBERNTANS Issue a Statement Wishing Suc-
 cess to the Boers WILL NOT VIOLATE LAWS. They Are Desirous of Rendering Assist ance. the Nature of Which Will Be Practical and Acceptable
 to the Boers
WILL NOT VIOLATE LAWS.

Washington, January 7.-The national of fieers of the Ancient Order of United Hi- bernians met in this city today and later issued the following statement to the pub Tie:
 1.-The national officers met in Washington to discuss a demand on the part of large majority of the representatives ofrcnr 15O,- 900 members that the order render some assistance to the Boers in the Transvaal
 Tt was agreed to render any assistance compatible with our loyalty as American citizens and which would not interfere with the neutrality laws of the United States.
 We are impressed with the splendid pre- cedent shown by the republic in going to with Spain to free Cuba from the op- pression of that country. We believe that Americans sympathize with the Boers and that we are acting in accord with the prln- ciples which urged the United States to carry the flag in a struggle for the libera- ton of the gallant Cubans. Our people would flock to the armies of America if the government marched to the assistance of the South A6rikanders.
 It is unnecessary for the Hibernians to proclaim their loyalty to the United States. but it becomes them to state that no act of theirs will be contrary to he laws. Know ing the character of the British govern ment, its cruelty and its ambition, we are

Havana, January 7.-Senor Villalon, sec retary of public works, arrived today from Santiago, and called upon Governor General Wood, with whom he had a long interview Tomorrow he will consult with Colonel Black, chief engineer of the division of Cuba.
 General Wood has advised that the first thing to be done is to repair the bridges throughout the island and to make the roads passable particularly the so-caled royal road, extending the length of the island but which only exists in name He urges that a large force of men be put to work in each province
 The water supply system will receive im- mediate attention. Wells will be construct ed in sufficient numbers, if needed, to sup ply the consumption of the entire island.
 A prison, board consisting of three in- spectors will be appointed, charged with the duty of visiting all the prisons of the island at regular intervals and recommend ing such improvements as seem necessary.
 The courts of justice, under the existing system, are among the most corrupt in the world.

 London, January s-The Daily sAIai has the following, dated January 6,-at noon, from Frere Camp:
 At o'clock this morning very heavy firing began at Ladysmith. It lasted fully four hours and must have meant either a sortie by the British or a determined- at- tack on the garrison by the Boers. Our shells could be seen falling on Umbulwana hill. and the enemy were replying.
 Besides the cannon reports, there were sounds indicative of smaller pieces of ar tillery in action. The fighting must have been at closer range than has been the case up to now
