BOER ATTACK REPULSED.
GENERAL KITCHENER REPORTS ON THE
SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.
London, Jan. 1.-THE following dispatch has
been received from General Kitchener, dated
Pretoria, January 10:
The Beers attacked Machadodorp last night,
but were driven off before dawn.
Hertzogs commando is in the netghborhood
of Sutherland Cape Colony. Settle is organizing
a column to head him off.
In the midlands and eastward the Beers nave
broken up into small bodies, some returning
north and some hiding in the mountains north
west Of jamestown.
Cape Town, Jan IA small commando,
about two hundred strong. crossed the Orange
River near Aliwal. 1t met on the borders of
the AliwaI, Wodehouse and Barkly East districts
by a body of police and mounted farmers and
was repulsed, with some loss. 1t will probably
attempt to cross the river again.
De Wet was last reported in the neighborhood
of Bothaville. All the towns in Orange Colony
the main line of railway are strongly held
by the British, and the Beers show no dsposi-
ton to approach them.
The British warship SybiI has anchored in
Lambert's Bay and landed a force of blue
jackets and a number of guns. This force has
constructed intrenchments.
Hertzog's main body, 7O0 strong, with two
guns. has crossed the ROggeveld Mountains, and
is now probably in the neighborhoOd of Eand s
Drift fifty miles east of Clan William. Hertzog's
intention apparently is to move toward Ceres
and Worcester. Only a few passes are passable
for the guns, and the whole country is difficult
to traverse The passes are narrow and easily
defended. According TO latest trustworthy re-
ports another party of 800 Beers has reached
the Doom River, seventy miles south OF Cal
Vinia. The authorities doing all in their
power meet the situation. Refugees from
Calvinia and Clan William are hocking 10
Bicquetberg Road. They state that many poor
whites are certain to join the Beers, as are also
many bitter bondsmen in the neighboThOod of
Clan William and Malmesberg, who openly de-
clare that they intend to join the invaders.

In return for renouncing her claim for war

tBRITIsH CONCESSION TO RUSSIA.
HPARENTLY FoREsHADowING THE PAR
TITION OF CHINA.


London. Jan. 12.-''The Daily Chronicle" makes
the following important statement:
From a trustworthy source we learn that
Lord Salisbury has agreed TO cede to Russia
the railway from New-Chwang 10 Shan-Hai-
Kwan. It is not known what compensation will
be received for the concession.
Leading hnancers versed in Chinese affairs,
who were interviewed yesterday by representa-
tives OF 1.-The Daily Chronicle" appeared to think
that if the news were correct it indicated that
Lord Salisbury recognized the impossibility Of
preventing the partition OF China, and that Rus
sia would get the north and Great Britain the
Yangtse Valley.
The original prospectus Of the railway com
pany stipulated that the bondholders mainly
British could be bought out al any time at the
rate Of f120 per f100 bond.
THE Chronicle in editorial on the sub
ject taunts Lord Salisbury with having made
another graceful concession" because Great
Britain's entanglements deprive her of the
strength to back up her diplomacy.
