ROBERTS PAST YEAR.
May Not Find Much Enthusiasm on Arrival in
London.

London, Dec. 21-A year ago.
Wednesday, Lord Roberts left London
at the end of what Frederick calls the
first period of war and also three
months OF miscalculation and disap-
pointment." Today, Roberts is on his
way back at the close of another peri
cd, both OF characterization and disap-
pointment He undoubtedly has
achieved much. but it cannot be said
since he displayed such striking merits
as the leader of q great body of troops
and by reaching Pretoria that he main
tanned the same high level of achieve
ment afterward. while his lack of
judgment is shown by his glaring err
ror in declaring that the war was
actically over when the first volun-
teerS returned.
on his return he will find the pulli
of his countrymen in not very cheer
full frame of mind, though during the
past few days the prevailing gloom
has certainly. to some extent. lifted.
1t is generally felt that Kitchener has
awakened to the stern reality of the
situation. and that not only must
troops there stay. but more must be
dispatched, and that they must be
mounted.
It has taken long to teach this les
son. but thanks mainly to De Wet, the
British have learned it ut last.
Despite sensational rumors, those
here who are best qualified to give
opinions say that the authorities do not
believe there will be a rebellion in
Cape Colony. Beyond this, however,
the war office officials will not go.
They appear to have made up their
minds that several months must pass
before the end will be in sight.

charge of conspiracy to Kill her di-
vorced husband, Walter c. Huntoon,
was, today, pronounced insane. When
arraigned in court she was held in
$4,000 bonds. She was later taken to
an asylum for the insane.
This decision was reached after an
examination of the woman by DR.. G.
Z. Bancroft, superintendent of the
New Hampshire asylum for the insane.
1t is concurred in by the friends of the
unfortunate woman and by her coun-
sci as well as by the authorities of the
city and the counsel for the state.
Mrs. Huntoon passed sleepness
night in the office of the city marshal
at the police station. She was cared
for by faithful woman friend who
remained with her all night. To this
woman she confessed that she was
supplied with poison with which she
had intended to commit suicide and
this. on investigation, was found to be
true.

was brought into the police court be
fore Judge Badger at noon and plead
ed not guilty to Il complaint charging
her with an attempt to procure by
hire, the murder of her former huS-
band. Mrs. Huntoon was so weak that
she could hardly walk and her face
was a terrible sight, SO white and
drawn was it, while her eyes We're
swollen and red with weeping.
After her plea had been entered her
counsel, Hon. John NJ. Mitchell. waiv-
ed examination and the court ordered
that the prisoner recognize in the sum
of $4,000 for appearance at the next
term of the supreme court for this
county. In default of this amount.
Mrs. Huntoon went to Jail and there
remained until the order for her COM
mitment to the asylum arrived.
Her friends say that she is in a very
bad condition physically. and they fear
that she will not long survive confinc-
ment. DR.. Bancroft, however, is con-
fident that under proper treatment her
mania can be cured.
Mrs. Huntoon was taken to the New
Hampshire asylum, late this afternoon
the order for her commitment being
signed by Judge VIM. NJ. Chase of the
supreme court. and concurred in by
Chief Justice Blodgett and Justices

CUTS AND BRUISES ON HEAD.
Mysterious Death at New York Of Or. U. n.
Brown Of Syracuse.

| New York, Dec. 27.-Dr. Ulysses Hig-
gins Brown of Syracuse, N.
Y, one of the most prom
inent oculists in the United
States, and wife, has been a guest of
the Hotel Imperial since last Friday
evening. was found at 6.35 o'clock this
morning, lying unconscious inside the
iron fence of a shallow area way at
200 North 45th street. by policeman.
DR.. Brown was lying on his face. There
was cut on his forehead, one behind
his ear, and several bruises and cuts
on the face. The peculiar position in
which he was lying seemed to indi-
cate that he had fallen through the
iron gate. He was taken to the 41th
street police station where he died in
few minutes, never having regained
consciousness. In his pockets were
found a trifle over $40 in money, Il
gold watch chain and other jewelry.
Mrs. Brown was notified of her hus
bands death. 1t completely prostrat-
ed her and she is now under the care
of physicians at the Hotel Imperial.
The peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the finding of the body led to
the belief that the man had been rob-
bed and then thrown into the area way.
Mrs. King. who lives at 200 West 18th
street, said she always locked the gate
every night. She was sure she had
locked it last night.
w. l.. Busby. one of DIR. Browns
friends, said, today: We thought that
the doctor had been assaulted and
robbed at first, but when we learned
that his money, voluables, etc, were
all found on his person, there was then
no foundation for this belief. DR..
Brown was not u man addicted to
strong drink. He was not Il total alb
stainer, however but l cannot believe
that he was intoxicated, last night. We
expect to be able to clear up the
mystery of his death in a short time.
