NEW YORK, Jan. 2-The Merchants
Association Of New York has issued a
pamphlet containing some Of the recent
correspondence which the association had
with Senator Frye about the Ship Subsi-
dy bill. now pending in Congress. The
board Of directors Of the association has
declared that the bin is counter to pub
lie sentiment and in conflict with the pub

a letter to Senator Frye the association
declares:

trary, We believe that a reduction Will

LONDON. Jan 2--The continued reports
of increasing Beer activity in Cape Colony
have caused q feeling Of depression here.
and the most optimistic have abandoned
hope Of an early ending Of the war. It is
believed here that the burgher invaders
have received large numbers Of re-en-
forcements from the Cape Dutch. Their
successful operations are an indication Ct
this, for it IS scarcely possible that the
limited numbers that crossed from the
Orange State into the Colony could give
the British forces so much hard fighting.
Fears are entertained that the rebellion
is growing rapidly. and that the Cape
Colony situation viii become critical IN a
few weeks. unless a decisive defeat is in
ficted upon De Vets army.
i despatch from Pretoria. dated yester-
day at o'clock a m, says that the Beers
are displaying activity in many directions,
and that they have evidently adopted new
tactics, by which they concentrate their
forces suddenly on isolated British garri-
sons.
They surprised HeIvetfa by a sudden
concentration Of troops. and. although the
garrison fought desperately. it was com
PEELED TO surrender.
Immediately after the capture Of the
garrison became known a column was
sent TO Helvetia for the purpose of re-
taking the position and rescuing the pris-
oners- This movement was unsuccessful.
however. as the Beers intermixed jhe
British captives with the guns and it was
not safe to attack them
a Beer column also made desperate
assault on MeyErton on December 81. but
was repulsed by the British
A despatch from Cape Town of today's
date says that the burghers have reached
Roodehoogte, in Cape Colony. This place
is south Of Middleburg. The British com
manders have sent re-enforcements from
the north to stop the advance of the in
vaders and to make an effort 10 effect
their capture The progress Of the Beers
