London, Jan. 6.— This morning’ s news throws little further light ou tlis war situation. The exact position at Molteno and Cyphergst is not yet clear but in any case these little engage ments are of small importance beyond proving that tho British forces are beginning to attain a great degree of mobility. It is fully expected that next week w ill see a heavy battle on the Tugela river, which is now the real pivot of the campaign. The Boers appear to be working in cessantly with shovel and pick. Lord Methuen’ s cavalry scouting has devel oped the fact that the Boer intrench- ments extend 6ome 40 miles, far over lapping the British positions and mak ing flank attacks exceedingly difficult. Military critics affirm that the Boer trenches confronting General Buller stretch away some 17 miles, and that work upon them is pushed unremit tingly. W hile the advance is delayed, flank movements are rendered most difficult because long marches are not done with celerity, and it is hard to time an attack with certainty. The extent of the Dutch rising may now be measured by taking a line from Prieska, on the west, to lierschel or Barkly, on the east. Along tire wholo of this line, except at points actually occupied by the British, the population seems for the most part hostile. New redoubts are being built at Kimberley, and 17 miles of works now encompass the town. The admiralty programmme em braces the stationing of small squad rons at Durban, Simons bay, Port Eliz abeth, Lorenzo Marquez, St. Vincent, in the Cape Verde islands, and Cape Town, and sending an additional ship or two to Aden. It is announced that Great Britain’s agents and detectives are secretly watching all Italian’ ports. It now appears that it is John Churchill, second son of Lady Ran dolph Churchill, and not Winston Churchill, who has been given com mand of a squadron of the South Afri can light horse. Lord ltossylu has thrown up his en gagement at the Court theater in order to join the yeomanry. The offer of Lord Iveagh to provide at his own expense a completely equipped hospital for use in South Africa has been accepted. Tho war office lias invited Sir W ill iam Thompson to accept the post of chief surgeon to the forces in South A f rica, instead of consulting surgeon. Washington, Jan. 6.— In accordance with the notice previously given by him, Senator Aldrich today opened the discussion of the financial bill with the explanation of a substitute for the house bill. The subject was carefully prepared and was read from manu script. It was delivered in clear and distinct language, but without any effort at oratory. Senators present gave him careful attention, but no one interrupted him with questions or otherwise during the delivery, nor did any one manifest a disposition to reply after he had concluded The senate adjourned for the purpose, it is under stood, of giving those who may wish to reply to the Rhode Island senator an opportunity lor presentation of the subject. The Pettigrew resolution concerning the Philippine war went over until Monday, when it is understood some senators w ill be asked to be heard ou the Philippine question. Senator Bev eridge also gave notice of a Bpeech for Tuesday on the Philippine question, prefacing his notice with a resolution declaring his own position on tho sub ject. The house sitting was very brief again today, tho only incident being the adoption of tho Sulzer resolution introduced yesterday calling upon Sec retary Gage for information regarding the deposit of government funds in cer tain New York national banks. The resolution, as adopted, was made more general in its scope and an amendment was added to cover information respect ing the transactions relating to the sale of the Now York custom-house site. Secretary Gage’ s friends had been informed that hta conrtod the ful lest investigation, and was prepared to submit all the facts to congress. Accordingly there was no friction over the passage of the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. RUNAWAY T R A IN . T h r i l l i n g E x p e r ie n c e o f P a s s e n g e r s t h e C h ic a g o & G r e a t W e s t e r n . on Chicago, Jan. 6.— A special to the Chronicle from Galena, 111., says: Travelers on a Chicago Great Western passenger train had a thrilling ride and a narrow escape from death at Ga lena Junction today. To avoid death the engineer and fireman of tho passen ger train jumped just as their engine crashed into the rear of a disabled freight train standing in a long tunnel. So great was the force of the collision that the passenger engine bounded back, and before the engineer and fire man could climb aboard the engine the train was going down a steep grade at the mouth of the tunnel. The conductor was unable to use the air, and the train had run a mile, and was within a hundred feet of a station ary freight train when stopped. Many of the passengers jumped, while others sought safety in the front coaohes. The wrecked cars and tho caboose in the tunnel caught fire and were destroyed. The engineer and fireman of tho pas senger train were both injured. P i t c h e r F a l ls B n c k . Belmont, Jan. 6.— Colonel PitcLer, it is officially announced, being only on a raiding expedition, and for m ili tary reasons being unable to occupy Douglas permaneutly, has evacuated the town, bringing off all the loyalists. He has now returned safely to a close proximity to Belmont. When he an nounced tho necessity of evacuating the place, the inhabitants declared their lives were not safe five minutes after the troops left. Pitcher, there fore, invited them to accompany him to Belmont. The vehicles of the town wore totally inadequate to convey the refugees, so the troops gave up the trans)iort wag ons to the women and children. ANOTHER STEAMER S E IZ E D . A n d E in p o r o r W i ll i a m T h in k s I t I s G o in g T o o F a r . Berlin, Jan. 6.— The imperial mail steamer < icneral has been detained at Aden, and occupied by British troops, with the object of searching her cargo, which is to be discharged. The Gen eral is owned by the German East African line. 7 The seizure of the General has con siderably aggravated the situation here, and the indignation agninat Eng land is intensified. The government is still earnestly endeavoring to preserve correct official relations, but England w ill do well to hasten to make the “ amende honorable” to Germany. On abevlntely reliable authority, the correspon lent of the press learns that Emperor William is now thoroughly aroused by the r e la t e d seizures of vessels, not one of which, he has been assured, is gnilty of carrying contra band. He regards the seizure as hign- handed proceedings, which England wonld not have dared to undertake if the German navy were more powerful than it is. T h e P l a g u e a t M a n ila . Victoria, B. C., Jan. 6.— The Manila Times, jnst received here, states that " i t lias been learned from various au thentic sources that in many of onr closely neighboring towns a serious epidemic, bordering on plague, is rag ing. The towns principally affectad are Guadelupe, Mandatoguna, l ’ienda and Malabon, besides a number of other towns. The cause is said to be due to eating the flesh of animals which have died from disease. W hat ever the cause, there is little doubt that a species of plague exists, w hich in most cases proves fatal. It is said that the disease carries off its victim s within 38 hours from its attack, and in these country towns medical aid or sup plies arc not to bo had readily, and then only in a limited way. B o e r R e c r u i t i n g a t B utte* Butte, Mont., Jan. 6.— Two hundred and sixty men have signed an agree ment here to go to South Africa and serve in tho Boer army. They are Irish-Americans, Gennan-Ameiicans ind French-Americans. Only men »■tween 20 and 40 and without any one depending on them were enlisted. They w ill leave as soon as an agent of the Transvaal government, now on his way here, arrives. S a w m ill B o il e r E x p lo d e d * Cincinnati, Jan. 6.— A boiler in the sawmill of Charles Stout, eight miles east of here, exploded and killed three employes and injured the owner this morning.

C a n n ib a lis m In t h e F r e e S ta te . C ongo New York, Jan. 8.— A special to the Times from Nashville, Teun., says: The Southern Presbyterian board of mis sions in this city received letters today from Rev. L. O. Vuss, and R ev. H . P. Hawkins, missionaries of tho church stationed at Luebe, Congo Free State, Africa, giving accounts of the burning of 14 villages and the killing of 90 or more natives by state troops. They report that some of the victim s were eaten by cannibals, and that the bodies of all who were slain were mutilated, their heads having been cut off. Mr. Vass was formerly of Newbern, N. C., and has been engaged in mis sion work at Luebe since February 18, 1899. Mr. Hawkins was formerly at Vicksburg, Miss. Mr. Vass states that tidings of raiding by the Zappo Zaps in tlio Bena Katnha country having reached them, and the work of the mis sionaries being threatened, tho Rev. Mr. Sheppard was sent to make an in vestigation. He went to tho Zappo Zaps’ camp ami found that 14 villages had been destroyed by fire and plund ered. He saw 47 bodies lying around the camp. From three bodies tiro flesh had been carved and eaten. The chief said that 80 or 90 had been killed and five persons eaten by his people. Mr. Sheppard saw 81 right hands cut off and frying over a slow fire in order to be afterwurd taken back to the state officers. Sixty women prisoners were confined in a pen, and 16 had already been Bent away prisoners. It Is said the raid was ordered because the peoplo could not pay tho exorbitant tribute demanded by the state. Tho mission aries say that they reported the matter to the proper officials, and demanded the withdrawal of the troops, and that the chief instituted a counter prosecu tion on account of the charges made. The missionaries further say the Zappo Zaps are a tribe kept by the state for its protection. They nre sent out to collect rubber, ivory, slaves and goats as tribute .from the people, ami can then plunder, burn und kill for their own aninsement ami gain. The mis sionaries say they are collecting evi dence about tho massacre, and will send it to Boma and to Europe. Mr. Vass says: “ The whole country is pillaged and not a village left standing. The people are in the bush. Tonight in a radius of about 75 miles there are possibly 60,000 people sleuping in the bush, un sheltered and weary, in the midst of a rainy season. The state is a terror to every on e.” E x e c u t o r s ' B ig F e e s . Chicago, Jan. 8.— Robert T. Lincoln and Norman B. Ream, executors ol the oetate of Georgo M.

They hur ried the prisoners from town to town, often retracing the trail, not knowing where the Americans would attack. After being almost without food for three days, they killed several horses, and we lived on horse flesh for several days. I did not have a full meal from December 7 until I reached Vigan.
