WAS A BRILLIANT FUNCTION Mistress of the Executive Mansion Participated In the Occasion "With the President Long Line of DIs- guished Gnests Greeted. WASHINGTON, Jan. L In the long line of New Tear's receptions at the White House, none, perhaps, was more brilliant than the one which today ush ered in the 20th century.

Promptly at 11 o'cloclc the bugles sound ed the approach of the Presidential party, and, led by Colonel Bingham, the master o'f ceremonies, and Major McCawley, of the Marine Corps, the President and Mrs. McKlnley descended the main stairway, followed by tho members of the jCablnet and their wives. As the partyVpassed ang" Vothe-receiving room, the Presi dent reflected in his smiling face his health and happiness. He bowed repeat edly to the crowds assembled In the cor ridors, greeting many of them with well wishes of the day. Mrs. McKlnley also bestowed her gracious greetings upon many in the throng, and when three sweet-faced children, near the front chirped a "Happy New Tear" to the first lady of th.5 land, she took a handful of buds from her exquisite bouquet of white roses and tossed them to the children. The party passed into the blue parlor and took their places, while the full Marine band burst forth with the stirring strains of "Hall to the Chief." Lndiefc. In the Receiving Line.

Americans and Filipinos Mingled In c- Social "War. MANILA, Jan. 1. If President McKIn ley's New Tear reception proves greater than that of General MacArthur, It will not be the fault of the people of Ma nila. The reception was the first official social function at which the Americans and Filipinos have mingled in a social way. For three hours a stream of ve hicles wound through the grounds of the Governor-General's 'residence and dis charged their callers official and civilian most of them natives, though there was a sprinkling of foreigners. The American flag, branches of nlpa flowers and vines predominated In the decorations through, out tho mansion. Admiral Remey received the callers by the side of General MacArthur, and the wives of several Generals assisted. The Introductions were made by General Mac Arthur's staff, assisted by members of the staff of Admiral Remey. The callers, after having been Introduced, passed out upon a broad balcony overhanging the Paslg River, and a majority of them lin gejjd about the mansion until the cere jsjsonlcs were finished. Archbishop Chapelle, the apostolic dele- gate to the Philippines, and other church dignitaries were received first. The mem bers of the Philippine Commission and the Judges appeared in black frock coats, and their attire formed a decided contrast to the white and gold uniform's of the officers of the Army and Navy. The Fili pino women wore elaborate native cos tumes and conversed affably In Spanish. The use of carriage numbers was not un. derstood by the coachmen, and ntuch con fusion occurred outside. ALARM W CAPE COLONY. Invaillns JJoers Ranging Over an Immense Tract. LONDON. Jan. 2. The Cape Town cor respondent of the Daily Mail, whicn dwells upon the gravity of the position In Cape Colony, says: "The Boer Invaders now number 5000. The western Invasion gives the most con cern. It has split into two divisions, which are marching like the prongs of a fork, one by way of Sutherland towara Maimesbury, and the other toward Beau font west. The enemy are now ranging over immense tracts of territory, neces sitating the employment of an army corps to deal with them. Lord Kitchener has poured troops Into the disturbed areas, bat the fugitive tactics of the Boers have, to a large extent neutralized his precaution. "It was felt that the only means of ex cluding the Invaders from the rich dis tricts in the western, part of the colony, was to call out the farmers. Today's telo grams promise a splendid response from the eastern portion, but the western is doubtful, now 30 per cent of the popula tion being regarded as loyal. Hence the Boer concentration in that direction. Let ters are arriving here detailing damage and robbery by the Invaders and beseech ing military assistance. Any action on tho part of the Colony will not abate the urgent need of large reinforcements." "The aspect of affairs Is scarcely less gloomy," says the Cape Town correspond ent of the Times, "than at the beginning of 1900. The Invading Boers are numer ically fewer, but the have penetrated far ther south, and their presence In such ceiu ters of hostile Dutch feeling as Graaf Relnet constitutes an element of danger which did not exist last January. The proclamation calling for volunteers comes very late. The invaders have been ena bled to obtain fresh horses. All the horses In the Colony ought to have been commandeered or bought at the first sign of invasion." The correspondent complains of the In ertia and reticence of tho authorities. General Kitchener has telegraphed to the War Office as follows: "Pretoria. Dec. 31. General Knox, who has been following up General Dewet, re ports that he has captured some horses, five wagons, with supplies and 6000 rounds of ammunition. He has released and let go to their farms 76 Boer prisoners who were taken to Dewetslaager, and who were being forced to fight. "General French recently captured lz prisoners and a largenumber of carts ana cattle. Among the prisoners was a dispatch-rider bearing a letter from Beyers for Smuts." May Extend Martial Law. CAPE TOWN, Jan. L A special meet ing of the Cabinet was held today, at which, It is understood, a decision! wa reached to make a further extension of martial law. A telegram from Carnarvon reports that the Boers are looting every farm along their route for supplies. ICruger "Wants to Come. BRUSSELS, Jan. 1.
