FRENCH CAPTURES BOER COMMANDER Kitzinger Was Trying to Break Block House Gordon A TROUBLESOME INVADER
  It Is Said Kruger VIII Abandon His Demand for Independence and
 Boer Leaders Are Willing
 to Cease Fighting.
TROUBLESOME INVADER

Ltndon. December 17.-A dispatch from LorI Kitchener announces that Com maldant Kritzinger, the famous Boer commander, haf been captured badly wounded, by General French. Kritzinger was trying to break the blockhouse cor don at Hanover road.
 The capture of Commandant Kritzin- gee who has been styled ''The DeWet of Care Colony" isr regarded as very im- portant. He has been troublesome and energetic invader of Cape Colony and Is credited with more barbarities than any other lcommandant except Schneipers. In @ recEnt proclamation he called himself the chief commandant of Cape Colony.
 During the last few days most persis- tent reports emanating both From South Africa and from Boer headquarters in Europe, of an approaching crisis in South African affairs have been current It is allegkd that MT. Kruger will abandon his demand for independence and that the Boer leaders in the field are inclined to cease fighting and seek the best terms obtainable.

HOUSE HAS ITS FIRST
 HOT DEBATE ON THE
 PHILIPPINE QUESTION

Democratic side by a denunciation of the pending measure and of the entire Phil ippine policy of the administration. He declared that the bill proposed was leg islation after the manner of an empire. It disregarded the rights of the t1lipi- nos as well as the American representa- lives. It was legislation by alien for alien. He denied the necessity of talk ing the islands or keeping them (Demo- cratic appIause) We acquired them in folly said he "let us dispose of them in wisdom" Almost every man in the islands longs for independence and no- erty. How long will 1t be before an- other insurrection breaks out? Who can tell how many of our youth 1t will lay away in the county church yards and how many dollars of extra levy 1t Will cost the people? How much better would it be for us to return to the principles of any American party and make an end of our troubles? Why not dispose of them to some country that wants colonies? Any disposition of them is better than their retension.'
 MT. Robertson of Louisiana, a member of the ways and means committee, said he would vote for the bill. The failure of this bill. he said, in effect would mean free trade with the islands and that he was opposed to bringing the sugar and rice planters or hOulSland lnlo iS competition with the sugar and rice pro- ducers of the Philippines. This bill would be a notice to the Filipino people that they never could hope for equal rights with .ne American citizen and must prepare for independence. He said he believed that free trade with the .iilippines and reciprocity with Cuba which was now threatened would be the annihilation of the sugar interests of his state.
 The House then, at D. m., adjourned

"The Head Walters is the title of the new vehicle which Comedians Ward and Vokes will present at the Jefferson The atre this afternoon and tonight for a renewal of the usual season of laughter and enjoyable nonsense invariably found in their offerings. The action revolves around the sale and proprietorship of a German Rathskellar purchased by Percy and Harold" (Ward and Vokes), from "Issy Mark" George Sidney). It Is quite safe to predict that cafe was never conducted as this pair of worthies run this one. Of course it Is all done to make us laugh and 1t goes without saying that it's mission is successful. Every note of the music for the new cut up, every song, every step of the danc- ing, has been especially conceived for this entertainment and it will be most royalty costumed and staged. The company numbers fifty people and there is chorus of thirty pretty girls who can sing.

WAR ABOUT TO BEGIN.
Cargo of Arms About to Be Distributed
 Among Colombian Troops.

Washington, December 17.-Semi- official advices received here indicate that active hostilities are about to begin between Colombia and Venezuela. The delay in proceeding to extremes has been largely caused by the lack of a suitable stock of arms and ammunition by the Colombian government. This is about to be remedied. The news that comes today is to the ef- feet that the Briti7h.- stenasaer- Ban Righ. which recently excited suspicion by load ing cargo of arms in European waters, supposedly intended for the Boers in South Africa, really was chartered by the Colombian government. She is now very near Colon and the advices is to the ef- feet that when the cargo is distributed among the Colombian troops hostilities will begin between Colombia and Vene- zuela.

TO COMPEL PAWN SHOPS
 TO REPORT TO POLICE

the goods bought or accepted in pawn by them during the previous twenty-four hours. They are also to give a detailed description of everything. For instance when watches are reported the numbers on the case, the number of the watch and all other information connected must be given. This will greatly aid the police in recovering anything stolen or lost. It will also keep the pawnbrokers from being prosecuted for receiving or buying stolen goods.
 Provision will be made for the prosecu- tion of all violators of the ordinance. The amount of the penalty in case of convic- ton has not been determined, but will be heavy.
 Such an ordinance has been suggested by Chief Austin in several of his previ- ous reports, but no concerted action to secure one was ever made. The benefit it will give has been argued for some time by the chief and he thanked the commission last night for their help.

LIEUT.. SHELLEY, US.
 ARMY, HEBRON VISIT
SAW SERVICE IN CUBA AND GIVES INTERESTING DETAILS OF THE PROGRESS BEING MADE UNDER DIRECTION OF AMERICANS.

Lieutenant James E. Shelley, Eleventh United States Cavalry, Is in the city for the holidays, the guest of his father General Charles M Shelley, at the Hill- man.
 Lieutenant Shelley, as a captain in the Fifth United States Volunteer Infantry, and later as major and inspector of the Guardia Hurdles, company composed of native Cubans. has had much exper- fence and seen much service in Cuba, and speaks interestingly of affairs and conditions in that island
 After the war with Spain the native Cuban troops, rather than go to work, organized themselves into bands of ban ditti and affairs for a while were in a worse condition than during the Spanish war. It was for the suppression of these organized, and so efficient was their work that in a short time these bands were completely broken up and order re- stored. General Wood. in his report, made special mention of Lieutenant Shell fey's work, complimenting him and his company very highly.
 Lieutenant Shelley, in speaking of the Cuban as a soldier and citizen, says they take especial pride in being United States soldiers.
 The United States government is making wonderful progress in Cuba said Lieutenant Shelley. When first went to Santiago I could hardly ride a horse over the streets Today it is as clear as Washington City. The streets are asphalted and are much clearer than the average American city The gov ernment is building macadamized roads all through the island and spending a great deal of money for this purpose, in some places as much as $6O,0OO a mile. The old Spanish barracks, forts and such like they are converting into schools and public institutions, orphan asylums, homes for the decrepit, etc. All this has been paid for out of the revenues of the island"
 Lieutenant, Shelley will sail with his regiment for the Philippines the 18th of January.

An ordinance requiring all pawnbrokers' loan agents and junk dealers to give daily returns to the chief of police of all articles bought or accepted in pawn will be introduced at the next session of the mayor and board of aldermen. This will be done in order to facilitate the work of the police in locating stolen or lost property.
 The ordinance will be introduced by a committee of four appointed from the police commission, consisting of Commis- sioners Parker, Stratford, Scott and Austin. The matter was brought up last night at the session of the commissioners on suggestion of Chief Austin. who stated that several other cities in the South had this law and and that it was not only a great aid to the police force but also a protection to the pawn brokers.
 The suggestion of Chief Austin was that all the dealers be compelled to report not later than 9 o'clock each morning all

 The German kartel system was also discussed A proposition is pending to allow the sugar countries, not possessing such a price-sustaining organization, to pay bounty of two francs per hundred kilos, to offset the effect of the kartel system. At >the same time the confer ence is doubtful of the efficiency of any action which it may take, in view of the fact that the United States and Russia are not bound by the dictum of the con ference. The result may be to call 8 fresh conference to include the countries which are not at present represented.

 The main point of today's debate was the imposition of counter valing duties, especially the effect which the imposi- tion of such duties by the United States, might have in diverting the export of bounty-fed sugar to fresh markets and
