London, Jan. 6.—This morning’s news throws little further light on the war situation. The exact position at Molteuo and Cyphergat is not yet clear but in any case these little engage ments are of small importance beyond proving that the 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 sconting has devel oped the fact that the Boer intrench- nients extend some 40 miles, far over lapping the British positions and mak ing flank attacks exceedingly difficult. Military critics affirm that the Boer trenches confronting General Duller 6tretch away some 17 miles, and that work upon them is pushed unremit tingly. While 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 measure 1 by taking a line from Prieska, on the west, to Herschel or Barkly, on the east. Along the whole of this line, except at points actually occupied by the British, the population seems for the most part hostile.

The offer of Lord Iveagh to provide at his own expense a completely eqaip]<ed hospital for use in South Africa has been accepted. The war office has invited Sir W ill iam Thompson to accept the post of chief surgeon to the forces in South Af rica, instead of consuming surgeon. P it c h e r F a ll» B a r k . STEA M ER The house sitting was very brief again today, the only incident being the adoption of the 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 New York enstom-house site. Secretary Gage’s friends had been informed that he courted 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 TRAIN. 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 » t h e C h ic a g o A 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 escapei from death at Ga lena Junction today. To avoid death the engineer and fireman of the passen ger train jumped ju*t 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 f ir e 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, aud 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 coaches. The wrecked cars and the caboose in the tunnel canght tire and were destroyed. 'The engineer and fireman of the pas senger train were both injured. * Belmont, Jan. 6.—Colonel Pitcher, it is officially announced, lieing only on a raiding expedition, and for m ili tary reasons being unable to occupy Douglas permanently, has evacuated the town, bringing off all the loyalists. He'has now returned safely to a close proximity to Belmont. When he an nounced the necessity of evacuating the place, the inhabitants declared their lives were not safe five minutes after the troops left. Pitcher, tnere- fore, invited them to accompany him to Belmont. The vehicles of the town were totally inadequate to convey the refugee«, so the troops gave up the trans|«rt wag ons to the women and children. ANO THER 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 for 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 on the Philippine question. Senator Bev eridge also gave notice of a speech for Tuesday on the Philippine question, prefacing his notice with a resolution declaring his own position on the sub ject. S E IZ E D . A n d E m p e r o r W i l l i a m T h in k « I t 1» Gu in g T i k i F a r . Berlin, Jan. 6.—The imperial mail steamer General has l>een 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. The seizure of the General has con siderably aggravated the situation here, and the indignation against 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 uhsalutely reliable authority, the corresj on lent of the press learns that Emperor William is now thoroughly aroused by the repeated seizures of vessels, not one of which, he has been assured, is guilty of carrying contra band. He regards the seizure as high handed proceedings, which England wonld not have dared to undertake if the German navy were more powerful than it is. T h e P la g u e a t M a n ila . Victoria, B. C., Jan. 6.—The Manila Times, jnst received here, sta’es that "it has been learned from various au thentic sources that in many of our closely neighboring towns a serious epidemic, bordering on plague, is rag ing. The towns principally affected are Gnadelupe, Mandatogana, Pienda and Malabon, besides a number of other towns. The cause is said to lie due to eating the fiesh of animals which have died from disease. What ever the cause, there is little doubt that a species of plague exists, which in most case^ proves fatal. It is said that the disease carries off its victims within 38 hours from its attack, and in these country towns medical aid or sup plies are not to be had readily, aud then only in a limited way. B o e r R e c r u itin g : a t B u tte« Butte, Mont., Jan. 6.—Two hundred and sixty men have signed an agree ment here to go to South Africa and serve in the Boer army.

T h e P l a g u e In B r a s il- Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.—Senator Hanna declared today that, although he had been urged to stand for the per manent chairmanship of the next Re publican national convention, he would not do so. “ There are other men,” he said, “ who are more ambitious thun 1, and who value that honor more than I do. I w ill give way to them.” Rio Janeiro, Jan. 5.—TheJ bubonic plague has broken out in the city of San Paulo.
