BERLIN, Dec. &C. - German volunteers

African situation is most serious for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Senator M.
A. Hanna is said to have served notice
on some Of the opponents of the ship
ping bill that if it is not acted upon at
this session there will be an extra ses-
sion Of congress in the spring. It is
not assumed by other senators that Mr..
Hanna would try to influence the pres
ident to call an extra session to con-
slider his bill alone, but that if there is
an attempt to sidetrack his bill after
the holiday recess he will not willingly
stand aside for the army bill, nor even
for all the appropriation bills, but will
make fight and let the responsibility
for an extra session rest upon the fail.
ure of necessary legislation.

ThS 81 sa Christmas comes this

scomplish the relief Of the starving gar
'risons. The news from the theatre OF

No intelligence has been received
from Lord Kitchener recently and pri-
yate advices indicate that railway and
telegraphic communication between
Cape Town and the north has been
suspended, partly by the heavy rains,
and this fact may account for the
silence Of the wires. Considerable anx-
iety as to the situation in Cape Colony
is still said to prevail in military circles
in Cape Town, but here there il the
fullest confidence in the ability of Lord
Kitchener, who is now on the spot, to
crush the marauding commandos. The
Beers are not in sufficient strength to
seriously interfere with the British
lines Of communication and any dam
age that they may have done to railway
and telegraph lines will no doubt be
quickly repaired.
