EllipinO Women Organize at Manila.
 Leaders Urged to Yield.
 MANILA, Dec. 12.-General Funston has been ordered by the doctors to leave the climate. of the Philippines. He sails for the United States Dec 16 on the transport Warren.
 The Women's Peace league, under the leadership of Senorita Poblete, a Filipino, has, with the permission Of General Chaffee, transmitted letters urging peace to the insurgent general Malvar and other Filipino chiefs.
 These letters remind the Filipino leaders in the field that the war has de- stroyed innumerable homes and devas- tated large territories. All of which, while it abundantly proved the tenaci- ty of the insurgents and their faith in their cause, does not remove the fact that the operations of American soldiers throughout the islands daily demon strate the resolution of the people of the United States to make respected their sovereignty over the archipelago. The league urges the leaders to make peace in order to avoid greater evils.
 The Women's league has also receiv- ed cablegram to the effect that the Filipino general Lukban, in Samar, is pleading for a discontinuance of hoStil- itieS

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

John c. Latus of Bank street is on a business trip to New Haven.
 A one night bazar will be given at the Third Congregational church to- night by the Ladies' Aid society. Sup per will be served. A good time is In store for the large crowd which will no doubt attend.
 The entertainment which was giv- en at the Third Congregational church about two weeks ago by the Daughters Of the Covenant will be repeated at the Bunker Hill chapel on Tuesday evening, December 23.
 The Boys club team has consented to give the Third Congregational church quintet return game of bas- ketball some night next week at the Third church gymnasium. The Third church team intends to avenge their defeat by the Boys club players on last Tuesday night.
 There is considerable talk of a banquet being given by the members of the St Thomas Cadets A. A. to their champion football team. The Cadets will hold meeting on Mon. day night, when the question of a ban quet will be considered. If 1t is de-
  place about New Years night.
 A horse belonging to D. l. Me- Grath of Bank street figured in short runaway yesterday morning. While the driver of the team, Albert Leffier, was delivering goods to a customer on East Porter street, the horse was frightened by some boys, and 1t ran at q rather rapid pace down Washing r1ly ,tr rx-hn IF was stopped. The wagon was slightly damaged.
 Two young men with q wagonload of sweaters did q land office business in this section to-day. They were at their work bright and early. They sta tinoed themselves at the corner of Bank and Riverside streets, where they met the people going to work. The sweaters sold like hot cakes. They were cheap, not only in price but also in quality, judging from appearances. But still there was a good sale.
 ---The residents of this section would like to know when the large mail box which was formerly stationed at the corner of Bank and Riverside streets. is going to be returned to it's old posi- tion. It is several weeks since it was removed. When people want to mail any papers or magazines now they either have to leave them at Walkers or carry them up town to the postof ! flee. They hope that the local postal authorities will see to it that the mali box is soon returned and that an addi- tional one or two will be placed Tn other sections of Brooklyn. People 1n South Brooklyn are not fond of. walk ing half mile or more to mall pa- ner or n magazine. A box at the cor ner of Porter and Bank streets would be. of no little benefit.

ST THoMAs,s CHURCH FAIR.

If all indications do not fail, the coming St Thomas's church fair will be the most successful event of its kind ever given under the auspices Of St Thomas's church. The turkey sup pers, now pleasingly famous, will prove a great drawing card. Several attractive contests will create no Iit- tie excitement; q very pleasing "go" is expected between two popular little misses for a beautiful bride doll. The female minstrels,' first put on in Wa terbury for the benefit of this fair, will endeavor to surpass all former attempts and will doubtless fill the hall to overfiowing. Don't forget to see them. The minstrels will rehearse this evening at 8 and q full attendance is requested. Costumes will be ar ranged for tonight.

KILLED BY THE BOERs.
Kitchener Gives q List of Natives
 Shot.


 Kitchener Gives a List of Natives
 Shot.
 LONDON, Dec. 12.-Lord Kitche. ner's promised statement specifying thirty-seven separate instances in which natives have been shot by the Boers and which involve the loss of sighty-four lives has just been issued by the war office.
 In some of the cases mentioned the blacks were shot after an informal court martial or upon being accused of spying. but in numerous instances Lord Kitchener indicates the natives were shot in cold blood in order to hide traces of the movements of Boer com mandos.
 The period covered by Lord Kitche- ner's statement is over one year.
 Lord Kitchener in dispatch from Standerton, Transvaal Colony, am nounces that General Bruce Hamilton, after night march. surprised and cap tured practically the whole of the Boet command at Trichard's Fontein. Seven Boers were killed and 131 were made prisoners.
 Speaking at Glasgow last night, Mr. Brodrick, the secretary of state for war, referred to Lord Kitchener's re- port on the shooting of blacks by the 3oers. AIT. Brodrick said this report made it perfectly clear that these mur- ders were not committed in moments of passion, but were part of an organ ized system to cover the tracks of the enemy and to prevent possible infor- nation of their whereabouts.
 Dealing with present aspects of the war, MT. Brodrick said Boers had ac- cepted parole and broken it and that there would be no repetition of such actions. Within recent weeks Boer commanders had shown less regard for the laws of war than at any pre- vious time, and these bandits would before long reach a crisis when they could no longer be treated as belliger- ents.
 The speaker said the government was for no half measures in securing a settlement and that any fresh negotia- tions must emanate from the Boers.
 Mir. Brodrick confirmed the govern ment's decision, already announced, to break up the unhealthy concentration camps and remove the overflow of con- centrados to the coasts, where attempts would be made to provide them with more permanent shelters.

nuruang Mine sealed Up.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 12.-The Big Lick mine fire near Lykens may be extinguished before many hours. Even now there are hopes that the fire which has been raging in one of tue abandoned workings is under control. Men at great risk have sealed up the mine at both ends. The long gallery toward Lykens was closed, and the mine opening at Big Lick was sealed up. This, it is thought, will smother the flames, as no air can get to them. Water is being piped from Williams town in case it should be necessary to turn 1t into the mine.
