London, Dec. 5.— The week opened without a word of new* auc-h as tlie British public is so anxiously awaiting. tVith a larger army iu the field than tho country ever before mobilized, it can only be said that the loss of 3.500 tnen, entailed before the enemy's bord­ ers have been crossed, is a serious mat­ ter and, while there is no feeling of despondency as to eventual result* of the war. It is regretfully admitted on all si-lee that the strength of the Boer resistance ha* been woefully under­ rated. It 1* now seen that the attempt to hold a úsele** position at Mafeking wa* a serious tactical mistake, a* wo* also the endeavor to keep the large civil population in Kimberley. Perhaps the brightest spot for Kng- lish readers today i* the announcement that President McKinley has designated the son of Secretary Hay to succeed Mr. Macrum in Pretoria. The Daily Telegraph says: "Th is appointment is a graceful concession on the part of the United States government to British feeling. Our countrymen’s interest* will be safe tn the hands of the new consul." South African news is now six days In arrears. The censorship does not yet permit details of the Modder river tattle to be transmitted. Some vague statements have been published in Cape Town papers, and according to these Boers numbered 8,000 men, and were entrenched on both banks of the stream, although mostly on the north­ ern bonk. The British, according to these accounts, drove the enemy acre s the river, compelled them to retreat and established themselves on both bonks. These details, however, are too meager to enable an accurate idea of the engagement to be formed. A dispatch has reach*-! London an­ nouncing that Lord Methuen is again in the field, and it is also said that Count Gre-ichen, who was wounded in the fighting at Modder river, was struck in the neck by a bullet. Serious news comes from the north­ ern sections of Cape Colony. The whole border district between Coles- burg and Burgerdorp has declared for the Boers. In Yenterstad alone more than 2,000 have joined the rebellion. The farmers have formed a command­ eering committee, and talk confidently of a triumphal march on Cajie Town. General Buller’s proclamation ha* Imen torn down and tramped on, and the loy­ alists are bidden to hurry to Cape Town to prepare coffee for the rebels. CAPTURE OF CONON. Lleuteuant Monro« Worked m Bluff on the Filipino. Manila, Dec. 5.— The capture by Lieutenant Monroe and 50 men of the Fourth cavalry of the Filipino general, Conon. with 800 men and officers, with rifles, several American and 70 Span­ ish prisoners, at Bayombong, in the province of Nueva Vizcaya, was a suc­ cessful bluff. Monroe tapped the rebel wire, telegraphed to Conon that he was advancing with a large force, and de­ manded his surrender. Afetr negotia­ tions, Conon consented to capitulate to the “ superior” force, whereupon Mon­ roe telegraphed that he would enter the town with a small guard and re­ ceive the garrison’s surrender. He captured the whole Filipino force, and secured their arms, the rebels suppos­ ing Monroe had an army behind him. N x j Help Consumptive!. Chicago, Dec. 5.— A new serum, which it is claimed w ill show the pres­ ence of tu tare-ulosis long before it would be possible to detect it by the niicro- seope, the X-ray or other methods now in use, has been invented by Dr. A. J. Jenkins, of this city. He does not claim to have discovered a new enre, but that the use of the serum aids com­ petent physicians to detect the presence of the disease in its earliest stages, and in time to effect a cure by good sanua- tion and plenty of outdoor exercise. It makes it possible to discover whether or not a case is true consumption, no matter how early or light the attack. Wrecked by » Hte#r. Great Falla, Mont., Dec. 5.— A fieght coming in on the N¡chart branch of the Montana Central railroad round­ ed a sharp curve one mile from thi* city thi* evening and struck a steer, causing a terrible pile-up of the engine and 12 cars. L. A. Daniels, engineer; Patrick J. Riley, fireman, and Henry A . Edmiston, head braketnan, were crushed to death taneath the cab anil the wrecked cars, within five feet of each other. Daniels leaves a family. A Hr»ill«*y Boom.
