ACTIVE REBELLION IN WHOLE RIdIoA
General Kitchener la the Thick Of TT

Made for Martial Law.

London, Dec. 2G dispatch says:
The position Of Cape Colony is hang
ing in the balance. According to the
Morning Posts Capetown correspon-
dent everything depends upon the
quantity of ammunition in possession
Of the disloyai Dutch, 100 of whom
have joined the Beers in the Phillip
town districts alone. Energetic meas
ures have been taken to stem the inva-
sion, but there is unquestionably dam
ger that parties Of Beers will get
through into parts Of the colony and
gradually raise the whole cape in re-
bolton.
Most Of the dispatches from Cape
town says the raiders are doing little
harm and are being rapidly enclosed
by Lord Kitchener's command. Lord
Kitchener is in the heart of the disaf-
fected districts. He has the advantage
Of being acquainted with local condi-
tiOns. Last March he supervised the
suppression Of the rising which oc-
cured then. He is bringing down
thousands of troops from the north.

pendent says the loyalists demand that
marshal law shall be proclaimed
throughout Cape Colony, but adds:
Such 9 step Is now impossible, ow-
ing to the lack Of sufficient troops to
enfore IL.
The correspondent Of the Daily Mail
at Capetown says:
The pro- Boer press is singularly
4uiet. They have been made uneaay
by the prcmptness and thoroughness
of the military action, but reports
from the various parts Of the western
provinces foreshadow perilous possi-
bilittes. A responsible colonist who
recently made y tonr Of the colony,
declares that 90 per cent Of the Dutch
are simply waiting for the appearance
OF : resourcefal leader to rebel. .
Civil railway traffic has been sus-
pended largely in all parts of the
colony, and the movements Of both the
Boers and,the British are almost un-
known in Capetown. Il appears that

According to his own declaration. Mr..

pay his respects TO the Commissioners and
to pave the way by a social call for taking
up his official duties later on.
On reaching the building about II o'clock
| Mr.. mcfarland called upon Commissioner

him was escorted to the room of Commits
sioner Ross. who, after some time spent
in conversation, introduced Mr.. Macfar
land to Captain Beach.
The newly appointed Commissioner had
an interview with DR.. Tindall. the Secre-
tary OF the board, and from him received Il
list OF the departments and institutions
over which the several Commissioners
have supervision. Mr. Mcfarland ex-
pressed some surprise &C the number of

ago. and naturally l could not go back on

From the reporters room Mr. McFar-
land again went TO call on Commissioner
Wight. with whom he remained nearly an
hour, presumably going over in a general
way the work OF the office.
Commissioner Wight has not made any
