We concentrated ourartillery, cousistiug of a seveu-pouuder, a Nordeu- feldt and one little old ship's gun, on Jan, 3, eihplaoiug during the darkness so as to bear on the enemy's big siege gun. We carefully concealed the guns until the next afternoon, when, after the enemy had fired a couple of shells, we let loose all our pieces, firing and loading as fast as possible. One of our shots must have thrown the enemy's siege gun out of position, for it ceased firing. With glasses we could see the Boers rapidly reinforcing that point. The next day they moved back their guns 700 yards. They eniplaced a five pounder and proceeded to drop shells regularly into Market square. We have mude up our minds to stick it ont and have food for another three months. The wholo garrison is enraged at the enemy for firing upon the worn en's laager. KEUGER'S CAR FOR DAVIS. Ha Caused Europe to Auk Whether He'i Ou a Special Mission for McKluley. Loiuenzo MAuyur.s, Jan. 22. Web ster Davis, United States assistant sec retary of the interior, arrived here on his way to Pretoria and called upon the governor general, Captain Alvaro da Costa Ferreire, who gave him a most courteous reception and requested him to couvey a message of special friend ship to President McKinley. The Transvaal government has in formed Mr. Davis that President Kru ger's saloon carriage will convey him to Pretoria. London, Jan. 22. The publication of the fact that President Kruger is send ing a private car to take Webster Davis from Lourenzo Marques to l'retoria caused considerable s peculation here as to whether Mr. Davis, notwithstanding the denials from Washington, has not sortie sort of official mission. It was thought rather singular that a simple traveler, even though au official at home, should receive so much at Urn tiou. The subject attraoted the conti nental papers, which were inquiring through the London representatives whether the British government had information with regard to the object of Davis' visit. They were reluctant to be lieve that one of President McKiuIey's assistaut secretaries would take a vaca tion iu the Transvaal and be given leave of absence from his duties for several mouths without some special purpose. " A recent dispatch from Washington pointed out that Mr. Davis had given up his proposed visit to trio Transvaal owing to the possibility that it might be misinterpreted. DAVIS' TRIP PERSONAL Mot Representing the 1'nlted States In South Africa -Macroin I Now Out of the Service. Washington, Jan. 23. Both the state and interior departments declare that Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior, represents no department of the United States government in his visit to South Africa, but is there in a personal capacity. Since his arrival at Cape Town, whore he went to visit his cousin, Consul General Stowe, tlie state department has been very much an noyed at the misconstruction that has been placed upon his visit. It was to prevent further misunderstandings on that scoro that the lepartmeut posi tively declined Mr, Davis' apalication for leave of absence for Mr. Stowe, who wished to accompany Mr. Davis to Pre toria. - It is possible that Mr. Davis will re ceive a reminder from the interior de partment that his course is embarrass ing to the government. The state department has sent no in structions to Mr. Mucrani respecting his attitude toward the newspapers since his departure from Pretoria for the United States, la fact, it is said the department has no authority whatever over Mr. Macruui, who has passed out ot the government service. MOURNS OVER STEEVENS' DEATH. The Correspondent of the Dally Mall Was Most 1'opular in London. London, Jan. 22. The news of the death of O. W . Steevens, the special correspondent of tho Loudon Daiiy Mail, from enterio fever, Monday at Lady smith, has been received with,geuuine sor row here, where he has many friends in and out of his profession, Mr. Steevens had a distinguished career at Oxford. His first newspaper success was a series of letters which ho wrote from America, headed "The Laud of tho Dollar." His last work before going to the Transvaal was "The Tragedy of Dreyfus' and his long stay in hot, unsanitary Reuues is thought to have undermined his cousti tutiou to au extent that made him easy prey for the fever. Mr. Steevens made a romantio mar- riago a few years ago with a Mrs. Rog ersou, well kuown in London society, She was 00 years old and Mr. Steoveus was 20, but the marriage was very happy. They were dovoted to each other. Mr. Steevens used to write to her daily wherever he was. ROUSED THEM TO PRAYER, Awful Murders Caused Frankfort Clergy. men to Appoint Tomorrow for4Priices.

Prayers will be offered at all three services ask ing that men of both parties may be guided to act with wisdom and modera tion and that the danger of further bloodshed may be safely passed by.

Instead of being an unimportant revolt of uati' e police, as was at first reported, it ap; ears to have beeu an attempt to overthrow American authority. The movement was started by the chief officials of the autonomous government, tho men who were elected and inaugurated with so much ceremony last November. Eleven of these officials, including the president and several councillors, were lodged in jail on charges of plottitig trea son. Several secured their release under heavy bouds, but others remained iu prison. General Smith had evidence that the revolting police, wero following the or ders of tho autonomous government which designed to use the forces under its control to overpower the Auioricaus.

Rome, Jan. 22. Charles E. Macrum, former United States consul at Pretoria, left here for Paris. Mr. Eastou, of the Washington Post, who accompanied Mr. Macrum, said, iu the course of an interview at Naples, that the Boers know they must ulti mately bo defeated, but are determined to resist to the last. He praised the Boer tactics and expressed admiration for the bravery of both armies. The Afrikanders are regarded by Mr. Easton as "a permanent danger to tne Brit ish." He asserted tliat, prior to the war, the Transvaal government iuquired what quantity of cartridges was allowed the German troops in the Franco-Prussian war, and then ordered dot ble the quantity. Paris, Jan. 22.
