NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-A diapatch to
the Tribune from Londii, says:
Generul Clery U gradually preparing
to turn '.he Boer position at Colenao
and relieve Ladyamtth, while Lord
Melhuen hold General Cronje'e forc
at Spytfonteln and JacuraUal, and !
General Gatacre la playing with the
Frv State ruidera among the Dutch
villages of the disaffected district if
Cape Colony.
The variation of thece Tlree TTleme
continue lo occupy the attention of
military rilera for the London preei.
Evidence is found of General Buller'sj
controlling mind in directing the Brit- j
ish campaign for the expulsion of the
Free Staters from Cape Colony and
the relief of Klmherly.
The defeat of Cronje's army would
rvk-aae forces of considerable strength
from operation remote from Natal and
open the wy for the concentration of
a Dutch army at Bloemfonu4n, whence
rclnforcemanta could be aant to the
Boer laagvrs betwean Colenao and' La
dysmlth. Premature action either at
Moddt-r river or on the southern fron
tier" of the Free Stat would tend 10
diminish the pressure now brought to
bear upon the enemy's camps around
Ladysmlth for withdrawal of a por
tion of these comma-. ala to the past
of the Drakensbury range.
These ar the beet explamtlons of
fered by military men in London clubs
for the continued Inaction of both Lord
Methuen and General Gatacre, and It
is always eusy to follow them up with
the reflection that time Is on the sj.dtf
of the British army, with lis superior
discipline and systematic arrangement
for supplies, and heavily against Ule
li regularly orsnlzed Dutch forces.
While 'theuried like the- ar' n poor

REVOLUTION IN COLUMBIA.
Report Received by the State Depart

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-Tbe yovern
nient has received through, one of Its
agents a most IntereMtlng account, tau I
ed the latter part of November, of th ;
Inception and growth of the prr-aent i
revolutionary movement in Colombia.
The revolution, according to this ;
statement, Is an attempt on the part '
of tne liberals to oust the citfiserw-'
tivea who have been in power for many j
years. The principal en gugemerrt so;
tar has bn a naval one. It took place i
on the night of October 24. at Losoblspo
some 300 miles up the Magdulena river, !
below Puerto Nacconal. j
The revolutionists were embarklrur '
on seven river steamers which they
hai seized and were coming down the
river. The goveiwnenrt troops were on ;
two side whel steamers which had ;
been protecte.1 by plating and railway
Iron snd were armed with catlings and

Hercules and Colombia, were chargvd ;
by the Helen and others of the Ineurg- ,
ent force, and the Hercules was nam 1
rr.ed by the Helena, but the blow did
no material damage. The gviu-ral on
the Helena then ordered his pili to
ram another veasel. which the pilot aa- .
sured him was one of his own squad
ron, but with a revolver to the man's
httid, the gemral Insisted on his com- i
mand being objyed. 1
The result was that the Crltsobal
Colon, a steam dredge and his bt
ship, waa struck amid ships and went
down, carrying wlch her 250 men.

THE DECISION ON SATURDAY
Got he I Exerts Tremendous fressare
oa Commissioa and Kill Contest
ia the Legislature.
FRANKFORT. Ky., Dee. 7.-The de
cision of the state board of election,
commlsalonen, covering- the guberna
torial contest, will be handed down
Saturday miming. There is a strong
probability tht the certificate of elec
tion will be g1vn to William 3. Taylor,
the republican candidate for governor
and lo the other republican candidates
for ether offices on the state ticket. Th
vcte will probably be two for th re
publican and one Tut the democratic
tau ticket.
The three members of the commld"n
have been placed ;n a moat unenviable
poeitlon. Thr beat friends, even their
relative have pleaded with them on
both side of the question, some fr
Taylor, some for Go?be4. No matter
which way they decide the case It
nutans much to tlrtr W cauls. Th
Presure ag'iiiwt thTi has been some
thing' stupendous throughout th en
tire canvas and during the argument.
It is possible. In case the dec Won Is
given to Taylor, that the democrat
may secure an Injunction restraining
him from taking his seat, and in this
manner Inaugurate a tight that will b
carried into H he legislature and fought
out there to the bitter end.
