BRITISH ARE REPUTED
INVADERS IN SOUTH AFRICA SUS
TAIN a Defeat.
BY THE BOERS OF TRANSNAAL
The Spanish Forces Are Worsted
Over in Cuha.
Havana Jan. 2. An engagement
between Spanish troops and Insur
gents has taken place at El Estantc,
of Alfonzo XII, not far from the
frontier of the province of Hnvann.
Tho general supposition Is that tho
Spaniards were worsted.
dritisii invaders whipped.
London, Jan. 2. A dispatch to tho
Exchange Telegraph Company this
evening, says Dr. Jamison has been
severely defeated by the Uocrs before
Johannesburg. Tho same agency adds
that tho news is continued, and tho
Secretary of State for tho Colonies,
Chamberlain, lias been summoned to
the colonial otlicc, where a conference
will bo held tonight. It Is added that
tho defeat of Jamison Is such as to
compel hlni to retreat across the
frontier.
THE AFRICAN INVASION.
Tun Hague, Jan. 2. Tho minister
of tho Transvaal republic left hero for
Bcrljn in order, it Is believed, to
make strong representations to tho
German government on tho subject of
the invasion or tho Transvaal republic
by tho forces of the British South
Africa company.
Tho Globe says:
A. rumor has reached London that
Dr. Jamicson hasarrlved at Johannes
burg and a cablo dispatch has reached
here from Pretoria which saysa rising
lias occurred at Johannesburg. It Is
added that 1100 more armed men be
longing to tho British chartered corn
pays, crossed tho frontier yesterday
and that President Kruger is determ
ined to defeat the Invaders hx force of
arms. A conflict between tho Boers
and the EngllsJ is expected tomorrow.
It Is stated that President Kruger
has telegraphed to Colonel Secretary
Chamberlain pledging his government
that the Boers shall temporarily
adopt a passive attitude toward Dr.
Jamicson's force, on its arrival out
sldo of Johannesburg. Tho Important
feature of this arrangement between
Mr. Chamberlain and President
Kruger Is, that all responsibility for
tho hostility will rest with tho
Chartered South African Co.
Berlin. Tho Vosslsho Zcitung
says: The action of Dr. Jamicson can
not bo tolerated. It Is tho duty of
tho German government to immedi
ately take energetic Bteps to protect
endangered German Interests and at
the same tlmo thoso of our kinsmen,
tho Boers. It is impossible to protest
too stronglyagalnst tills act of vio
lence on the part of the British.
THE BRADLEY BOOM.
Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 2. A con
ference of leading Republicans was
held In the ofllco of Governor Bradley,
and tho "Bradley boom" for president
was started. This was tho theme,
and the toasts to tho governor were
full of happy New Years and wishes
for his political preferment In tho
year 1800. Hearty congratulations
and best wishes were extended to tho
governor as tho Republican candidate
for president of the United States by
40 prominent Republicans fromevery
congressional district In Kentucky,
who called, by agreement, on that
official last night. It can be stated
with accuracy that before tho .New
Year was an hour old every person
present at the meeting had pledged
himself to do all he could to elect a
Bradley delegate from Kentucky to a
national convention at St Louis, and
to work In every way possible to
secure his nomination.
RESERVES CALLED OUT.
New Yonir, Jan. 2. A dispatch to
tho Journal from Constantinople says:
Tho army reserves at Moosh, Sat-
dls, Aleshgerd and Bltlls have been
called out. The Armenian bishop at
Erzeroum was arrested Monday and
sent to Constantinople, no is accused
of taking a leading part In the agitation-
against tho government. His
arrest has much excitement In Erzer

MRS. DAVIDSON'S PAST.
SOMETHING OF THE WOMAN'S CAREER
WHILE IN 110STON.
Boston, Jan. 2. Further Investiga
tion Into tho case of Mrs. Davidson, of
San Francisco, charged with wrong
doing by tho Rev. Charles 0. Brown,
of that city, brings to light the fact
that Mrs. Davidson did onco llvo In
Boston, nnd that she had an Interest
ing career, In which sho managed to
get considerable money from one per
son beforo sho loft tho city. In 1800
and 1801, Mrs. Davidson was a mem
ber of Nchcrulah Boynton's Congrega
tion, at the Union church, and later
became a prominent member of the
Tremont Temple congregation. At
the tlmo she was peddling starch, and
by hcrcloqucnco alio sold a large stock,
with good profits. Many friends,
among whom was Mrs. Sarah J.
Stevens, an old lady about 80 years of
age, became deeply Interested In Mrs.
Davidson and her alleged religious
work. Mrs. Stevens had considerable
money Invested in bonds, and when
these were called In and paid Mrs.
Davidson learned of the amount of
ready cash held by "her friend, and per
suaded Mrs. Stevens to loan her $2800,
on a note at 4 iter cent, to enable Mrs.
Davidson to start In the dressmaking
business. The note was payablo In 10
years. Soon afterward, wanting more
money, sho persuaded Mrs. Stevens to
loan her $2000 more, also on n 10-year
note, but this tlmo at .1 per cent.
Mrs. Davidson wcjitto Chicago In
1893, and from thcrejto San Francisco.
Uor payments ot the Interest ontho
notes, It is sald.-haVe been few and
far botween.
In connection wjlh dealings with
Mrs. Stevens and Appeals for remit
tances, she has written very ilowcry
letters. Tho following Is an extract
from ono of tlicm:
"Of course 1 cannot bo unmindful
of my obligation to dear Mrs. Stevens.
How I would like to come in tills
afternoon and bring some ripe straw
berries, so plentiful In tho markets
hero now, and now oranges and fresh
llowers. The weather Is cooler toduy
than usual, but like many of our
June days back East. .Still I like the
cost best, will? Its sunw ond cold
winters, becauso I love thepcoplo best
there, There Is so much evil
hero, and excitement to dis
tract tho mind. I will inclose $50,
and to make tilings as I onco spoke of
doing, I will send you moro next
month, and, with God's help, may I
prove my gratitude to flio dear loving
friend, as jvell as to our Heavenly
Father, who helped mo in my hour of
need.
"My love, God knows is In my
heart for you, and begs to express
itself according to tho means of his
grace, who will bless you for your
kindness to me."
