forward until with 1000 yards OF the enemy's
position, when it opened hot fire upon the
kcpje and completely subdued the Boer fire.
The British artillery shelled the position with
wonderful accuracy, while Lieutenant Ryan,
with mounted infantry, worked round and COM
pletely uncovered the fire of the Beers who had
been ensconced in the bushes.
Meanwhile Colonel Pitcher, with the Queens
landers. taking advantage of every cover. made
direct attack, the Australians moving slowly
but surely, and only shouting when they saw
the enemy retiring under their steady fire. The
Queenslanders behaved with great coolness,
laughing and chatting even at the moment of
greatest peril.
During the advance the Boer fire suddenly
ceased Thirty-fve Beers hoisted white flag
and surrendered. A portion of the Torontos
moved across the front Of the guns and entered
the laager. The Beers had fled. Fourteen tents,
three wagons, great store of rifles ammuni-
ton. forage, saddles and camp equipment. and
numerous discriminating papers were captured.
The Beers lost six killed and twelve wounded.
The Torontos stood the CALLING fire with ad-
mirable patience. never wasting a shot

PAPAL DELEGATE AT MANILA.
ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE's ARRIVAL MAY
HAVE IMPORTANT BEARING ON
PEACE QUESTION

| Manila, Jan. 2-Archbishop Chapelle. the
Papal Delegate to the Philippines. arrived here
this morning the United States transport
Sherman, which sailed from San Francisco on
December g. He will lodge in the house formerly
occupied by Charles DENLY, of the Philippine
Advisory Commission. This action on the part
i of Monsignor Chapelle settles the contest be-
tween the various friar brotherhoods in Manila,
who, separately, have been using their influ-
ence to obtain the privilege Of entertaining the
Archbishop and Father McKinnon. late of the
California Volunteers. and now Regular Army
chaplain. who also a passenger the
Sherman. 1t is said that the friars are striving
to secure Monsignor Chapelles ear for the pur-
pose of securing better protection for individual
interests.
The arrival of the Papal Delegate directs at
| tention to the question of the Church and the
brotherhoods in. the Philippines including the
matters of deciding the brotherhoods' claims
to real estate and other property. of the Church
receiving State support, and of the re-establish-
ment of Spanish curates in native parishes. By
| the appointment Of Monsignor Chapelle
Archbishop Nozaleda's successor, the Filipinos
and Spaniards feel that steps will be taken in
! these momentous matters which may bring in
finite good or evil to the islands. Consequently
Monsgnor Chapelle's actions will be closely
watched and fully discussed. All classes Of the
/ are anxious TO SEND representatives
TO the parishes In the provinces recently occu-
pied by the Americans. This matter will soon
be brought to Monsignor Chapelle's attention.
and his aid in this connection will be solicited
1nasmuch as the question of the expulsion of
the brotherhoods from the islands and the free
! dom or the people from the alleged injustice OF
members of the Crt.ers has always been de-
clared to be the principal cause of the revolt
OF the Fflipinos against Spans sovereignty, long
tlIne residents of the Islands declare that If the
friars returned to their former parishes the
natives, seeing them return under American
administration, will surely attack and kill them
and otherwise cause disorder.
ReVolut1onists having started the rumor that
Monsignor Chapele intends eventually to ap-
point Father McKinnon Archbishop of the
Philippines the latter's defence of the brother
moods in the American newspapers has been
translated and circulated among the natives
for the purpose, it is declared of showing that
Father McKinnon will support the brotherhoods
II he is elected.
Such statements these create uneasiness
news received from Spain to the effect that
Monsignor Chapele Will support the brother
hoods.
The Tagalogs. 1t is declared, have become more
embttered against the Church since Archbishop
Nozaleda communicated insurgent priest,
and it is added that the number of Protestant
marriages among the natives continually in
creaSes.

THE CAPTURE OF THE BUNDESRATH.
GERMAN PRESS STILL IRRITATED-A WAR
SHIP FOR DELAGOA Ray


SHIP FOR DELAGOA BAY.
Hamburg. Jan. 2.-The papers here announce
that the German Foreign Office has summoned
the managing director of the German East Afri-
can Line, Herr Wormann, to Berlin in connec-
ton with the seizure of the companys steamer
Bundesrath by the British cruiser Magicienne
on december 70 off Delagoa Bay on the ground
that she had contraband Of war on board
Berlin Jan. 2.-The press continues to discuss
the capture of the Bundesrath with some show
of irritation. In semi-officiai note THE POST,
remarks that in consequence of the seizure Ger
many has taken steps, and Great Britain is ex-
pected to deal with the matter in spirit of
good official relations" The "Neueste Mach
richten" says:
There Is every reason to believe the incident
VIII speedily be closed.
Official circles consider it imperative that
Great Britain adopt some definite attitude re-
garding the whole question of contraband of
war, and are apparently surprised she has not
adopted firmer policy on the subject from the
beginning
The German second-cass cruiser Schwalbe
has left Dar-es- -Salaam a seaport of Africa,
twenty-five miles south Of Zanzibar for Lou
renco Marques
Strict silence is maintained In official circles
regarding the incident of the vessels seizure
but it is learned that the affair has created an
extremely painful impression in political circles
Energetic diplomatic steps Immediately
taken in London, and the inadmlsslbilfty Of
the right of British cruiser to search a Ger
man mail steamer on the high seas has been en-
phatically asserted. The Government is await
ing London's response before taking further
action.
The press continues to point out the innova-
ton involved in Great Britain's action in sez-
ing vessel between neutral ports and search
ing for contraband destined to further transpor-
tation in order to reach the enemy
The owners of the Deutschland deny positively
that she contained persons goods justifying
seizure. The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce
reiterates this expressing at the time
firm conviction that satisfaction will be de-
manded and accorded. Hamburgs trade is suf-
fering through such incidents, and this in
creases the anti-British sentiment there.
