DlKjtatrhf IndlciUi that Kuller Will Reiiiolilllze Defure Attempting Another Adranre. Manila, December 27, 10:15. pm. Colonel Lockett, with t force of 2500, In cluding artilLjy, atlack.d thia morning a ttrong lon e of Initirgentt entrenched In the mountain near Montalban, nVxjiit five mile norlheat of 8n Mateo. The enemy were completely routed, the American pursuing Iheio through the hill, where they fled In every direction. Four American were wounded. The Filipino Ion w largo, reuniting from a heavy Infantry end artillery fire for three hour Into the trenches. It I uppoed the Inaurgentt were tlioe who were driven out of Ban Mateo the day General Lawton waa killed. They nn inhered probably 1000. A dozen lint of Iniurgent tranche covered the iteep trail through the hill and likewise the valley below, along which the American paaaed. The Main ttscking party confuted of the Forty-nixth volunteer Infantry, a trtop of cavalry and anilleiy, Colonel Lockttt commanding in peraon. The rest of the command 0rated from remote point in an endeavor to carry out Colonel Locketl's lan of throaing hi line around the enemy, and thu cutting off their retreat. The nature of the mountainous country made it im practicable to execute tlii movement uccendfully. After the lntirjrenU began lo run there waa a vain attempt to uae artillery. Il now appear that one American wt killed in the attack upon the Subig garri son yesterday fjy General Santa, Ana. The Inftutgent organ Independence, which wit upirenM)dby the American, reautned publication November 21, In Bulacan province. A raw Uuaatlona Whlnh Thajr Will Vo Wall U An.war. In a ommunlcation to the editor of the New York Time, Thoma 0. Shear man, of that city, propound several (Uettion (of Iioer lympatizer. The commaolcatlon Is follow: Senator Mason, of Illinoii, has intro duced resolution expressive of the warm sympathy ol the United State senate with the Boers in the war which they re now making, vowedly for the an nexation of Cape Colony. It is lo be presumed that he will be seconded by Benator Morgan, of Alabama, who, (boat three year mo, offered a resolution in the senate congratulating our sister re public of France on having lzi Mada gascar, deprived its people of self-government, annexed It to France, and, aa the French always do, forthwith ex cluded all American ship and American commerce from the iiland. Many Americans are expressing sym pathy for the Tranavul and denouncing Great Britain for defending her own colo nies against Boer Invasion. For a long time, la private conversation, I have been endeavoring to get these Boer sympa thizer to answer a few plain qnestions; but aa they always avoid doing so, will you be kind enough to put the following questions to all Boer ympathixera In the column of the Times 7 First If 150,000 Americans were in- Ion, demanding that the 10,030 troop should all I e removed to a distance of several hundred miles, that no more troop should be sent into California and that, if these terms were not corn plied with In 43 hours, Mexico would be gin war, what would the people of the United Stales say about It7 Hixth If, after all thia, the govern ment of the United States simply said nothing, and thereupon Mexico had poured 50,000 soldier into California, captured Haa Diego, and besieged Ban Francisco, what would the American government and people do? Borne wise men are anxioualy Inquir ing whether if we do not join Continental Europe in aympathlzing with the Boers we shall not incur the hatred of Europe) to the aame extent as the Britiib have. The fact is, as anybody knows who has traveled in Europe with bis eyes open and read many European newspapers, the American people, aa a whole, aro bated quite aa much all over the conti nent of Europe aa the British people are. It ia quite true that many individual American are liked and are very courte ously treated. But thia ia . equally as true about individual Englishmen. Taken collectively, however, public opin ion all over the Continent ia just as bos tile to the American nation as it is to the British nation. If any one can name a single German or French newspaper which bas ever maintained a friendly tone toward the United States for 12 months together, I should be very glad to learn the name of that paper. One vited bv C0.000 men of anv other race to settle In this country (for example Lower or two newspapers in Switzerland have California), and did so, buying ap all the Loxdo.i, Dec. 28, 4 :30 a. m. Winston Churchill's arrival at Cheveley camp is 1 perhsps responsible for aome overcolor j ing of the sravity of the situation, but all today's news conveys the impression j that Duller may be intending another attack upon the Boer position. Certainly, the Boers are not inactive, At both Modder River and the Tugela they are said to be lengthening their forces and extending defense works, which In both esses are seemingly al most impregnable. A khowing the difficulty of obtaining accurate information, a correspondent of the Daily New at Cape Town, under date of December 21, announcing that General Buller is coming to Cape Town to meet Hir Charles Warren, and then bjth will go to Modder Uiver. As five battalion of General Warren's Fifth division are said to have gone to Natal, his arrival at Fietermaritzburg seemed natural. Disnatches from Cbeveley Indicate that General Buller's forces will remobi lize at Frere before attempting another advance. Doubtless he would be glad to retrieve the Colenso reverse before the arrival of Lord Roberts, yet he is hardly like to attempt another frontal attack. It is more likely that he is pre paring to strike should the Boers make any offensive movement. Situation at Ladjramlth. Mr. Churchill's reference to Lady- smith may imply that the situation of the garrison is more desperate Uian had been supposed. The Boers continue lortifvins the hills commanding, the town. General White, however, helio graphed that all was well at Ladysinilh, December 26. Competent military critics !a London ! regard the campaign as a complete dead lock for the present, owing to the disper sal of the British forces and the lack ol adequate transport. It will be many weeks before Lord Robert 8 is able to reorganize and make an effective movement. The war office haa received the follow Inu ilisimtcli from Cuno Town, dated De cember 2G. i "There is no change in the situation Methuen reports that the enemy's force has increased, and is now engaged in intrenching 3 miles from bis outlaying pickets. Methuen reeonnoitered with two squadrons and mounted infantry for two miles along the line, and drew the .fire of four guns and two Vieker's machine guns. Four horses were hit. "The queen's Christmas message was received with enthusiasm. Gatacreia endeavoring to reopen communication with the Indwe colliers." The Boer trench work is so good that it enables the enemy to bold a long line with vory few men, and to travol great distances under perfect cover so asrapid- ly to reinforce any point attacked. The Times, which comments editorially upon the severe strain, says: "It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that our roubles are due to the unreality of the valuable land, at encrraous prices, carrying on the entire productive indus try of that country, and paying substan tially 11 the taxes, to an amount sulli cient to support the entire 60,000 natives n comfort, would theae 150,000 A men- cans subtrit to the following conditions? 1. To live in cities built by the Amer icans, but denied any municipol govern ment whatever. 2. To have these cities so deprived of sanitary privileges that the death rate is more than three time aa large as it is in New York city or in any neighboring city under good government. 3. To be denied the right to carry any arm whatever, while every man and boy among the 60,000 natives ia heavily armed and drilled at the expense ol the Americana. 4. To be deprived of the right to hold any public meetings, to publish any newspaper, to criticise the native govern tnent. or even to petition for rodress. 5 To have no right to vote for the smallest office, except upon condition of renouncing all protection from America for 14 years, during which time tbey must serve in the native army whenever called upon, and, at the md of that time not be allowed to vote nnless approved by two-thirds of the native neighbors and a native military officer. Second If the leading men among the 150,000 Americana conspired to revo't against these conditions, and then, be fore committing any overt act, were ar rested, sentenced to death, and only re leased upon paying fines varying from 25,000 to $100,000 each, what would the American people say about it? Third Supposing this state of things existed in some territory immediately adjoining the United States for exam pie. in Northern Mexico how long would it be before the American govern ment interfered and demanded redress? Fourth If such redress were refused or evaded, and the Mexican government raised a powerful army and built enor raous fortifications, with the guns all turned on the 150,000 Americans, ready to blow them off the earth in case of at tempted revolt, would not the American people insist upon at least 10,000 A.meri can troops being sent down to the bor der of Mexico? Fifth If, upon these 10,000 troops b-- Ingsent down, the Mexican government sent a peremptory message to Washing- been moderately friendly, and several French nrspajeri never say anything bout us at all ; but the great mass ot newspapers in France, Germany and Austria, so far aa I can learn, take de light in publishing everything bad about America which they can learn or invent. nd carefully suppress every piece of ew which reflects credit upon the United Slates. The fact is that Continental nations ate every one whospeaka the bnglisl language, and so do the Boers. If tl Boer were successful in their present war, they would shut American out of their country just as rigidly as they would Englishmen. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E.
