ward Kitchener's Conference With
Burghers Removes Anxiety.
London, Jan. 6. Advices from Cape
Town this morning are more hopeful,
owing to the active recruiting of local
forces in all quarters, and a better feel
ing prevails in London, based upon the
prospect of Lord Roberts takiDg the
reins at the war office.
From Sydney, N. 8. W., it is re
ported that there is quite a rush of
men there anxious to join the new
contingents, 5,000 having volunteered.
The reports of Lord Kitchener's con

to remove anxiety. According to the

camps to transports.
Farmers coming in from Carnarvon
describe the Boers as traveling in par
allel columns, with numerous flanking
parties sweeping the country on horses,

everything eatable. It appears that
they are accompanied by strings of
packborses ligtly loaded. Coles berg
telegraphs that Eritsinger's com
mando ia crossing the Middelbers dis

Here in Cape Town, such business

ment to suppress district newspapers

men. Heed protested his innocence.
Much excitement prevailed throughout
the day before the lymhing. After
bis arrest this morning, the negro wai
taken before Mrs. Locklear, but she
failed to identify him, and he was re
turned to jail. However, the mob
which had been seeking the prisoner's
life apparently was not Hitisried. The
demonstrations were so pronounced
that Judge Henry, of the superior
court, not seeing any reason for bold
ing Keea and fearing an attack on the
jail, ordered he sheriff to release him
The mob, niter the release, formed

UPRISING OF DUTCH.
Situation in Cape Colony Takes a Serious
Turn Boers Half Way to the Cape.
Cane Town. Jan. 4. The British '
battleship Monarch will land guns to
morrow as a precautionary measure.
The situation is serious. It is true
that the Dotch have not joined the in-
v.o.u any consiuerame ' "v;
but a lack of arms i, believed to be (
the true reason for abstention. In
many places horses are freely offered
and information readilv supplied to
the Boers.
The early proclamation of martial
law in the Cape Town division is ex
pected. The division does not includo
Uape Town itselt.
The latest reports show the situation
to be generally as follows:
Kurnman, if still uninvested, prob
ably soon will be.
Griqualand West is filled with small
parties of Boers, who are working
south toward Priesak for tne purpose
of co-operating with or supporting
Commandant Hertzog, whose advance
parties are in the neighborbod of Fra
zerburg. ,
The Boers are close to Graaf Reinet,
where of late the. Dutch have given
many demonstrations of extreme sym
pathy.
In the eastern cart of the colony
the adv&nce gnard of the Boers ia close
to Mariesburg, about 25 mile, north-
west of Cradock !
The general opinion here is that the
position ia not properly appreciated in
England. The Worcester conference
exoited the Dutch tbrougbont the col
ony. Many old residents, who are by
no means alarmists, regard a general
uprising of the Dutch aa quite likely.
UNFORTUNATE VENEZUELA.
One Revolution Terminates and

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.
Maa ia a Drunken Condition Slept Out In the
Cold for Quite a Time.
Express. Or., Jan. 4. A man by
place yesteiday evening for the Big
Kidd mines, about 12 miles east of
this place. A party leaving for the
same place this morning found him
about half way between here and the
mines in a frozen condition. He wf
brought to this place and later removed
to Huntington, where he could receive
medical aid.
As far as could be ascertained, the
man had been drinking quite heavily
before leaving here. On reaching a
cabin near the True Blue mines be
stopped for the night and bnilt up a
fire on the floor of the building. He
then dropped off to sleep. He awoke
in time to escape before the bnrninc
structure collapsed, although he suf
fered several burns. He crawled a
short distance away and fell to sleep
again. As the weather was bitter cold,
it is a miracle that be was not frozen
to death.
