London, Jau. 22. General Buller sent
a dispatch to the war office which con

Camp, Jau. 21, 9 p. m. General War
ren has been engaged all day, chiefly on
his left, which he has swung forward a
couple of miles,. The ground is very
diflicnlt, and as the fighting is all the
time up hill it is difficult to say exactly
how much we have gained, but I think
we are making subutantial progress."
The war office has received the fol
lowing from General Buller, dated
Spearman's camp, Jan. 21, 6:55 a. in.:
"In order to reliove the pressure on

ored trains and a relieving force. The
bridge is being rebuilt so that he may
proceed.
Makekino, Jau. 0, by runner to Mo-
cleudi, Jau. 14, via Loureuso Marques,
Jau. 21. 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.

pal, Baptist, Methodist, two Presby
teriuu, Christian and Roman Catholic
all the churches iu Frankfort.
Tho clergymen of the various de
nominations announced from their pul
pits Sunday morning that the deplora
ble events of the last week in the city
of Frankfort and the continued talk of
the possible repetition of such affairs as
the Colsou-Scott tragedy, which is, at
times indulged in by indiscreet politi
cal partisans, had rendered necessary
some steps to awakeu the public con
science to the dangers threatening thy
commonwealth of Frankfort. 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.

Mail advioes from Negros brought
particulars of the uprising last month
in the southern part of the island, iu
which Lieutenant A. O. Ledyard, Sixth
infantry, was lulled. 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.
The plot failed through being started
prematurely, but Negros was in a state
of uneasiness for about a week. Two
companies of the Tweuty-Bixth iufau
try were hurried from Iloilo to reiuforco
the garrison at Baoolod.
Tho officials arrested included some of
the most prominent men in Negros. It
was believod that they will be expelled
from the island.

ment of the Toueka Capital news, edi
torial aud advertisiug. At the Detroit

Bociety Mr. Sheldon asked what "phi
lanthropic gentleman iu this age of
munificent endowments to educational
institutions, would give$l,0t0,000,for tho
creation of a great christian daily."
The philanthropic gentleman has net
appeared with the money, but, in re
spouse to the appeals of the leading citi
zeus of Topeka, Mr. Sheldon's home
town, Mr. Dell Keyser, the president of
the Topeka Capital company, offered to
give the paper to Mr. Sftoldon for oue

MACRTTM A PEACE ENVOY,
Brings Ooni Paul's Terms to the UrlU
lali-Iu a Letter to tho
President.
London, Jau. 22.--A special dispatch
from Naples sai 1 that Mr. Macrum was
reported to be the bearer of a letter to
Presideut McKinley from President
Kruger, iu which the latter proposed
peace terms based upon the statuo quo,
with complete independence and a
seven-year franchise.
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. The Matin, referring
to tho arrival of Mr. Macrum in Europe,
said that the object of his mission is
mysterious, and asks if there be auy
connection between his return and the
arrival of Webster Davis at Loureuzo
Marques, from which point he is to be
taken to Pretosia iu a special train sent
bv Presideut Krnger.
The Matin thinks it very probable
that President Kruger, haviug beeu cul
off from telegraphio communication
with Dr. Leyds, is resorting to the good
offices of the Americans iu order to
communicate with the rest of the world,
and the paper concludes its observations
by saying:
"We shall soon know the meaning ol
these communications. '
