Another rebellion has broken out
in South Africa and it promises to be
considerably more formidable than
that which was inaugurated by Lieu
tenant Colonel Maritz, and which was
put down in short order by General
Botha. Gems. Christian DeWet and
Christian Frederick Beyers are the
leaders in the new rebellion. Both or
these men were prominent In the

inflicted other losses; but as to whether
he will prove a match for General bo-

The United States need never
fear the results of any attack from
the sea, according to Representative
Sherley, of Kentucky, chairman OF
the house subcommittee on fortih-
cations. In an authorized statement
at Louisville, Wednesday, Mr.. Sher-
ley declared the American coast is
so well fortified with the exception
of two points, where work now is in
progress that an attack from the sea
probably never will be made" THE
theory upon which the Notifications
have been constructed" he continu-
ed. 'is to protect important harbors
from a direct attack by hostile
fleet. This has been done, except at
San Pedro, Cal, where emplacements
for guns are being built, and at the
mouth of the Chesapeake, where
land has been acquired and estimates
shortly will be submitted for placing
l6 inch guns along with other arma-
ment. Our guns are of the most mod
ern pattern and are capable OF de-
stroying the most modern super
dreadnaught."
