KRITZINGER CAPTURED.
The Most Willy and Unpursuable BOer Comandant Taken nt Last. Badly Wounded.

London, Dec. 1S.-A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated from Belfast, (about halfway between Pretoria and the frontier of Portuguese East Africa) received here yesterday, am nounees that Commandant kritzing- er the famous Boer commander who has figured so prominently in colt- nection with the invasion of CaAe Colony, has been captured, badI wounded, by Gen. Branch. kritliuser was trying to break the block honse cordon at Hanover road.
 Commandant kritzinger has been described as a leader of exceptional ability, not second even to Christian De Wet. He has been repeatedly re- ferred to in south African dispatches as being hotly pursued, cornered or crushed up against the Orange river in flood. But he always succeeded in escaping through some gap in the | uncertain British line. One month he had been reported as having one thousand men with him, and day or two later when the British had con- centrated, his forces had been broken up into small bands and had disap- peared among the mountains, where pursuit was useless.
 Once no fewer that seven British, columns were in hot pursuit of him and drove him towards the Orange river, which was then unfordabie But when the British thought they had him caught, they discovered that he was 50 miles in their rear, threat ening the railroad after having di- vided his command into two sections.
 An officer of the British intelligence department who fell into kritzinger's hands described the Boer leader as a fine looking man about five feet ten inches in height, broadly built and speaking English perfectly At that period the officer said Kritzinger was attired in lavender colored trousers, with yellow tanned gaiters, a we'll cut coat, a starched white linen shirt and brand new tally ho hat with a puggaree. Kritzinger wore gloves and carried hunting crop. His men were well dressed and all their horses were in splendid condition.

A TERRIBLE BLIZZARD.
The Northwest, the West and the Southwest Covered by
 Destructive Storms.
WORST KNOWN SINCE LIGHTWEIGHT.
Many Persons are Known to Have Pcrished and Many Others are Missing Trains Blockaded and sheep and Cattle Perish ing--Much Suffering Among the Poor People.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Dec. f6.-The se- were snow and wind storm which set in last Tuesday night and which has been accompanied by the coldes. weather seen ill this state for many years, is still raging in some sections. Conditions are becoming more favor- able for stock interests, as cattle and sheep will now be able to secure feed on the ranges where the snow has been blown off.
 From the result of the information at hand it is safe to say that the losses among stock to date, except in railroad accidents, will probably not exceed few hundred sheep. There have been no losses among cattle.
 The loss of life in Wyoming due to the blizzard is probably in excess known to have lost their lives. Of these three were herders, one a rail road man and the other a woman.
 Five herders were reported lost near Point of Rocks, and as their dogs have come to town the men un- doubtedly have perished.
 A civil engineer named Hemingway who left Casper several days ago to visit a friend on a ranch, got lost and searching parties are securing for him. His friends believe he is dead.
 The railroads are keeping their lines open to traffic with much difficulty and a blockade is threatened.
 Reports received from the ranges in southern Wyoming tell of the de- moralization of the sheep business, the tiocks being scattered in all d- rections, the herders dead or miss ing. No one can live long out of doors in such a storm as is now raging throughout the state, and when the blizzard subsidies it is expected that bodies of dead herders will be found at numerous points in the Red desert country, where a number of flock tenders are now reported missing.
 Reports from the ranges say that the present storm is the worst ever that visited this section of the country. and that if it continues for another 24 hours the losses will be heavy.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Another Big Order from m East Indian Railway Company
 Received.

London, Dec. 1S.-Presiding, yester- day afternoon. at a meeting of the Burmah Railway Co.,, Sir Auckland Colvin, the chairman, referred to the purchase of 20 American locomotives by the company He said the board had been guided by the fact that the Americans were able to promise de- livery within two or three months of the date of the order, while the En- glish manufacturers could not do better than 12 to r months. The price of the American locomotives was 20 per cent. lower than that of the English engines. It was prema- ture to express a decided opinion on the respective merits of English and American engines. The consulting en- gineers had recommended the Amer ican engines as suitable, and thus far the locomotive superintendent said they were, generally speaking, up to the required standard.

From along the line of thao road and as far west as Casper. Nyo., comes reports of a heavy fall of snow, accompanied by a blindng wind. Several trains are tied up in the western part of the state.
 At Ainsworth the schools are sus- pended as well as in a great many other parts Of the country, and busi- ness in that town was practically closed up yesterday. The farmers and stockmen, however, were pre- pared for the storm, and no fear is entertained of any great loss.
