LOSSES WERE HEAVY.
Crushing Blow to British
Story of Night Attack.

London, Dec. Gothic war office
has issued list of the British casu-
alties at Zeefontein December "a,
when Col. Firman's camp, consisting
of three companies of yeomanry and
two guns, was successfully rushed by
Boer force under the command of
Gen. De Wet. The length of the list
demonstrates the entire success OF
De Vets attack. Six officers and SO
men were killed, eight officers were
wounded and four are missing. 1t
is presumed the missing officers were
taken along with the captured guns.
The numbers of the noncommissioned
officers and men wounded and miss
ing have not been received, but the
aggregate promises to make the Zee
fontein affair memorable disaster
to the British. simultaneously with
the above the war office gave out q
dispatch from Lord Kitchener chron-
iclng 4 minor success of he South
African constabulary, who raided
Bothaville and captured, &c Beers.
In subsequent message Lord
Kitchener sends stirring account Of
| the fighting at Zeefontein, showing
that the wounded and prisoners must
number about $50. He says that in
the absence of Col. Firman, Maj. Will
liams, who was killed, was in COM
mand. The column was encamped on
the slope of a kopie, the southern
side of which was precipitous. Out
posts held the edge of the precipice'
The northern slope on which the
camp was pitched was gentle. The
outpostswerc well pushed out and the
| position, naturally strong, had been
intrenched. 1t was a moonlight
night.
The Beers appear to have climbed
the prccipice, and, mastering neal
the top, at two a. M, suddenly at
tackled the picket on the summit. Be
fore the men could get clear of theil
tents the Beers swooped through
them, shooting the soldiers down a:

Most of the British officers were
shot while trying to stem the rush
Lieut.. Harwich himself opened firt
with the ''pompoms" and was sho
through the heart while firing. Lieut.
Watney was killed while leading ;
charge. There was no panic, and al
engaged did their best, but once thu
picket was overwhelmed the superio
force of the Beers had all the advan

orange blossoms. Senator Depew
who was radiantly happy, wore white
flower at his buttonhole.

Story of Breaking of Diplomatic Re-
Iations Between Germany and
Venezuela Pronounced False.

Berlin, Dec. 31.-The German for
eign office authorizes the announce
ment that there is no truth what.
ever in the dispatches from Caracas
saying that the German minister has
left the Venezuelan capital after a
heated exchange Of words with
President Castro. The German
charge d'affaires, Herr Won Pilgrim
Baltazzi, is still at his post, and is
dent Castro. There has not been any
question of breaking off diplomatic
relations with Venezuela. The Ger
man minister to Venezuela, DR.. o.
Schmidt-Leda, who has been on va
cation here, is now on his way to
Caracas. The foreign Office again
solemnly reiterates the state
ment that it does not contemplate
territorial acquisitions in Venezuela.
Replying to Germany's assurances
to the United States regarding the
formers plans in connection with
Venezuela, the foreign Office here has
received an answer from Secretary
Hay, expressing full satisfaction with
Germany's position. Germany still
hopes to collect her claims peaceably.
Caracas, Dec. 31.-Germany will post
pone display of force in Venezuela
pending the outcome of the revolution.
| In the event that Castro is overthrown
the new head of the government will
probably come to satisfactory terms.

So the Forests Will Burn

''It is true that the national admin istration of the forests will require a very large number of men, but the cost of supporting them will be but very small percentage of the value of the timber whose destruction by fire they would prevent says the San Fran cisco Chronicle. "Above all, it is queer that a nation which spends money like water for the sake of ex- tending its foreign influence cannot afford to keep its home property from burning up." This is surprise to those who forget that the average congressman, and senator likewise, will always be found in the well worn political groove, and not worrying himself by doing any responsible thinking on his own account He needs a fire in the rear among his constitu- ents to warm him up and make him active.

The pear blight beetle or shot borer is infesting orchards in the vicinity of Washington. Washing with kero- sene or creosote solution is recommend ed.
 In Colorado the experiment station is sending out to farmers in that state a supply of grasshopper fungus (dis- ease) to head of the locusts which have infested parts of the state.
 Be careful about greasing the chicks for lice. One drop on the head well rubbed in does better than half a spoonful; too much grease kills. Grease little turkeys on their wings in among the quill feathers.
