Frere Camp, Jan. S.-1he following
is from White, dated p. IN. yesterday:
AN attack was commenced on my pO-
sition, but was chiefly against Caesars
camp and Wagon hill. The enemy was
in great strength and has pushed the
attack with the greatest courage and
energy. Some of the intrenchments
on Wagon hill We're three times taken
by the enemy and retaken by us. The
attack continued until 7:30 p. III. One
point in our position was occupied by
the enemy the whole day. But at dusk,
in very heavy rainstorm, they We're
turned out of this position at the point
of the bayonet, in Il most gallant man
ner by the Devous, led by Colonel
Park. Colonel Ian Hamilton com
manded on Wagon hill, and rendered
valuable service. The troops have had
Il very trying time and have behaved
eXcellently. They are elated ut the
service they have rendered the queen.
The enemy We're repulsed every

Guuboat Sent to snnto Domingo

Washington, Jan. S.-The Machias

Santo Domingo. She left that place n
few days ago to secure coal ut San

naval vessel on hand to protect Amer
lean interests i'm case any trouble fol-
lows the attempt of the French naval
commander ut Snnto Domingo to en-
force the settlement of the pending
French claim of 100000. 1t is not be-
geved that here is any chance of any
conflict between the French and Amer
lean naval officers in the execution of
their instructions. but apparently the
United States minister at Santo
Domingo believes that In the interest
Of peace there should he n larger naval
force than one vessel there during this
exciting time. The news that success
has attended popular subscription to
raise the SGO,ooO to pay the claim Is al
so regarded AZ tending to avert danger
of the adoption of forcible measures by

1t is proposed to establish in con-

school system two years course in
domestic science for girls, to provide
for all in the seventh and eighth
grades a thorough study of domestic
economy, including not merely cook
ing, but buying hearty and economical
foods. arranging them neatly on the
table, arranging bills of fare that shall
be both cheap and appetizing. The en-
tire care of the house is also to be in
cluded in the work, which by its most
ardent advocates is known as home
making" 1t is advocated from two
standpoints, the pedagogical and the
sociological. From the first it is con-
sIdered as n manual training for girls,
which shall do for them all that the
shop work does for the boys; from the
second 1t is considered a necessary
step in the improvement of the living
conditions of the masses. For these
reasons it has the support of many
prominent persons OF both classes, and
has by them been brought to the atten-
tion of the board of education.
