CHARGES AGAINST GERMANS.
Or. Morrison Says Waidersec Has Broken
and Troops Are Cruel.

| London, Jan. 1.--Wiring to the Times
from Pekin, DR.. Morrison says: The
Chinese have accepted all the condi-
tons of the joint note. They are send
ing formal acceptance by an envoy and
ask that negotiations shall commence
forthwith and military operations
cease.
Iii Hung Chang is much better. al
though greatly shaken.
Five expeditions are now operating.
Every report tells of increasing unrest.
The policy of depriving the Chinese of
all power to exercise authority is
spreading disorder broadcast and fore
ing peaceful Chinese into opposition"
In a dispatch dated Dec. IS Or Nor
rison sends a long protest against Ger
man harshness which he says is ere
ating instead of checking disorder. He
accuses the Germans of marrying the
country and Furnishing the innocent
and the guilty indiscriminately in
order to levy fines for defraying their
own military expenses and to form an
excuse for continued hostile occupa-
ton.
He also charges Count Won WaidcT-
see with breach of faith on the
ground that ne gave Ii hung tndng
a map defining the area of occupation
in the province of China ana indicat-
ed the district beyond which the allies
would not operate and Yet allowed the
German troops to intiict severe punish
ment upon the Chinese at Sangchau

side the area.
Repeating his statement that the
Germans are preparing for an eXpedi
ton to Sanfu in the spring and also
fomenting trouble in the Yangtse val
ley. DR.. Morrison says: The question
arises whether the area should not be
seized to separate the British troops
from Count Won Waldersee's com
mand.'

also that the Emperor is DESTROYS OF
complying in all particulars with the
demands of the powers.
On the other hand, he thinks the
powers should order a cessation OF the
frequent Irritating expeditions, which
he looks upon as unnecessary and as
doing n deal of harm. 1t will be quite
possible now, he says, to maintain
complete order in the province with the
assistance of a small number of Chin

have the number of legation guards

mics will be recalled as early as posi-
bic in the spring. China will endeavor.
says Earl Ii, by every means in her
power to prove that she intends COM

THE BOER INVASION
Of Cape Colony Is Now Backed
by Fully 5000 Men.
They Range Over Wide Territory Rer-
dering Pursuit Difficult.
The Population Not Very LoyaI.-hesbi!fs
Horse Loses IA Men.

London. Jan. 1.-The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Daily Mail who
dwells upon the gravity OF the position
lin Cape Colony, says: The Bocr invad-
ers now number 5000 men. The west
ern invasion gives the most concern.
1t has split into two divisions, which
are marching like the prongs Of a fork,
one by way OF Sutherland towards
Malmesbury and the other toward
Beaufort West.
THE enemy are now ranging over
immense tracts OF territory, necessitat-
ing the employment of an army corps
to deal with them. Lord Kitchener has
poured troops into the disturbed areas;
but the fugitive tactics Of Inc Beers
have to a large extent neutralized his
prccautions.~
1T was ftf that the only means of
excluding Sc invaders from the rich
districts in the western part of the
colony was TO call out the farmers. To1
days kilograms promise splendid re-
Spouse from the eastern portion but
the western is doubtful, not 80 per cent
of the population being regarded rs
loyal. Hence the Boer concentrating
in that direction.
Letters are arriving detailing dam
age and robbery by the invaders and
besecching military assistance. Any
action on the part or the colony viii
not abate the urgent need of large re-
Inducements.

WILL CLEAN HOUSE.
Sheriff Fogg of York, Will En-
force the Laws.
Visits Saco's Shady Places and Warns
Them tc Close Their Doors.
Says II Deputies Are Unequa! to Task Will Ap-
point Others.

Saco, Jan. 1.-The greatest surprise
laws in this vicinity was created. to-
night by the action and threats of the
newly elected sheriff of York county.
Newell r. Fogg of Sanford, who, ac-
companicd by Deputy Sheriff Niles,
visited every liquor saloon, gambling
place and place OF i'll repute in Saco
and notified the proprietors that they
must Immediately give up their Illegal
business.
He forcibly impressed upon all of
them the fact that he was thoroughly
in earnest and meant everys word he
said. He informed them tlpt if they
were found doing business in their re-
spective places. tomorrow. they would
be prosecuted to the fullest eXtert of
the law.
The Saco parties We're very much
taken abach as the prohibitory law has
OF late been almost a dead letter in this
place, but the sherffs warning was
universally needed, and as a result the
city has been dry" tonight. In Bid
deford the saloons were closed on ac-
count of the holiday. and only for this
fact they, too. would have received a
like warning from Sheriff F'oGg.
The new sheriff assumed the duties
Of his Office with the coming in of the
new year. and his most intimate
friends We're not aware that he had
decided upon such Il summary and rad
lea! action.
County Attorney Matthews, who is
here in attendance upon the January
term of the supreme court. said. to-
night that he had no previous knoWl-
edge of the sheriff's intention. The
latter. he said. was an energetic. cOur-
ageous man of his word. and what
ever he said he would do was sure to
be done. The county attorney further
declared that he would support him in
his work of prosecuting the law break
ers to the best of his ability.
Sheriff Fogg said. tonight, that he
was elected under pledge to no one.
with the sole end in view of securing
n strict compliance of the law in York
county Before and since election he
had travelled through the county, visit
ing all the principal cities and towns
and he was convinced that public SEN
timent demanded. the strict enforce
ment of the laws. 1t was great UNI
dertaking and he did not expect to be
able to uprOot all the crime in the
county, but he should do his best. and
if his own deputies We're unequal to
the task, in all probability liquor dep
uties would be appointed.
Sheriff Fogg's vigorous course is
warmly applauded, tonight, by all law
abiding citizens.
