Blue River. Or, Dec. 24.-A new

Have Turned the Tide by Enter

General Ntchenss b Said to Have Demanded
Heavy Reinforesmeats "A Pitched
Battle Seems lmmineat.

London. Dec. 22.-The war Ofies
last evening could give no information
regarding the reports Of . Boer inva-
sion Of Cape Colony. The officials ex-
pressed the opinion. however, that the
newspaper accounts were exaggerated
and that probably the troops who have
been employed in chasing General
Dewet will be diverted to deal with the
invaders. Having regard TO the GUS
tomary methods Of tha war office, this
can only be interpreted - confirming
the report.
Lord Kitchener, In the meantime,
keeps tight rein over the news. which
increases the public disquietuds.
There is persistent rumor that he has
demanded heavy reinforcements.
According to the Daily Mail, private
kilograms received in London yester.
day depict the situation in Cape Colony
90 somewhat ominous. 1t seems that
the invading Beers are receiving con.
siderable assistance from the local
Dutch, and that the troops at the
disp ,sal Of the British are not sufficient
to cope with &ny serious invasion. II
is believed that the government has Al
last awakened to the seriousness of the
situation, and 10 making great efforts
to have Lord Kitchener supplied with
horses and mules.
The British losses at Nooitgedaoht,
according to the official accounts. were
SO killed and wounded. with A miss.
ing and still unaccounted tor. 1t is re-.
ported this afternoon that General
Knox has been forced to abandon the
pursuit of General Dewet, owing to the
situation created in Cape Colony by
the Beers crossing the Orange river.
II is said that 5000 republicans have
entered Cape Colony. and q similar
number have reached Philipstown.
The report adds that Dewet, with
about 1000 men, is northwest of Lady.

learned that the entire misunderstand-

caused by the change or omission Of
the single digit in Q complex group OF

messages of instruction to Mr.. Conger.
Curiously enough, the change in this

|sTlckEL WILL BE HANGED,
tate q Sslf.Coafsssed Castle Rock Assassin
De5ense Was Hereditary Insanity.

Kalama. Wash., Dec. 2l.-.Guilty
= charged" was the verdict of the
jury at $50 o'clock tonight in the cas-
OF the state of Washington against Mar.
tin Stiokel for the murder Of william
B. Shanklin.
Stickel ID the most notorious and
cold. .blooded criminal ever tried in the
courts of Cowiits county. A year ago
last November, William B. Shanklin
was killed at his home near Kelso,
and his house was burned over his
dead body. He was shot at night
while eating supper. The case was
shrouded in mystery. and no clew Ia
the murderer could be obtained. On
the evening of November 30, 1900, Mr..
and Mrs. Cornelius Knapp, an aged
couple, living near Castle Rock, were
killed while at the supper table in the
same manner a. Shanklin was one year
before. It was evident that the same
man had committed both crimes.
Sheriff Kirby and Detective Sam Sim.
mons traced the crime to Martin
Stickel, who lived on scow near the
mouth of the Cowlitz river. Stickel
was arrested. He maintained his in.
nocence until confronted with the fact
that his watch and keys had been iden.
titled as having belonged to Shanklln,
the murdered man. Then he made q
partial confession, and implicated hia
neighbor, Ed Pierce.
After his preliminary trial. he was
taken TO the Pierce county Jail for safe
keeping. There he joined the Saliva.
tion Army and made . full confession.
admitting that he did the killing in
both the Shanklin and Knapp murders.
and that he was alone in the matter.
When arraigned in the superior court
today. on the advice of his counsel be
pleaded not guilty, and his case was
tried upon the evidence. which was
Overwhelmingly against him. The de-
tense made an unsuccessful attempt to
prove that the man had inherited q
criminal disposition to the extent that
he was not accountable for his actions.
His mother testified that before hif
birth and during CESSATION she was
mad at everybody and that the child
was born sick and was always an un-
natural child. The jury was ont but
one hour. The prisoner was sentenced
by Judge Miller to be hanged on date

80 days nor later than 90 days from
