by a German court-martial TO ten
years imprisonment for violent at
tack on his custodians. The incident
leading TO the trial Of this man is
thus described by the "Lokalanzeiger":
when the occupants Of one Of the
tents in the camp failed to turn out
for work a group of reservists in
charge Of the camp were ordered 70
drive them out This resulted In some
scuffing. and the free use of the butt
ends of rifles. Lonsdale struck one
Of the German soldiers in the chest
and tried to hit him in the face. A
sergeant-major drew his sword and
hit Lonsdale several blows on the back.
AT the trial the president of the
court-martial told witnesses to speak
the truth and not to be influenced by
hatred Of the English. Lonsdale ad-
mitted that he had committed the as
sault. The prosecutor, DR.. Kohler, did
not ask for the death penalty or life
sentence. He said that the verdicts
of German military courts were vast
IL superior to those in hostile coun-
tries, which we're dictated by hatred.

London, Dec. 5.-Telegraphing from

iPals and haggard, but calmly smok'
ing his pipe, General Christian De Wet
the rebel leader. arrived here to-day
guarded by soldiers with fixed bayo'
nets. He was taken through the streets
which were lined with excited people
and placed in the fort a prisoner pehu'
ing a probable court martial.
sWhether he will be hanged as
traitor cannot be predicted. That some
factions favor this, however, IS indi-
csted by the tone Of the national press
which urges government action against
those behind the scenes who stimu-
action. Those co-trAitors, it is said
should be brought to the shadow OF the

Either the administration believes
the Colorado situation is much more
serious than has been believed hereto
fore or else they want to station as
many soldiers handy for movement
into Mexico as possible. At least La
mar people have been kept busy the
past week looking at U. S. troop
trains passing through going west to
Trinidad. They have been coming
some every day and often several
