LEITERFROMLORDROSEBERY TERRORIZING I PEOPLE i miM week From All Parts of the New World and the Old. Boers Were Driven Back by Portuguese South Africa Is to Be Di vided Up, New York, Jan. 1. A dsipatch to the Herald from Berlin says: i The Lokal Anzieger publishes the contents of the German-English-Por- tu guese secret treaty. This double treaty will have executive force as soon as the Swiss jurists, Messrs . Blaesi-Hensle- y and Goldau, have given a decision in the Delagoa bay arbitration. The decision, it is expected, will be given in January or February and will probably be in favor of England, in which case foftugai must pay to ing land and America an indemnity of 1,. 900,000. England obtained in 1891 from Portugal the right of pre-empti- in Delagoa bay, and the cession 01 Del agoa bay to England may therefore be expected in March next. ' It is possible that President Kruger may now declare War on Portugal and attack Delagoa at once. In order to prevent any interference by France or Russia, Enlgand ' con eluded a secret treaty with Germany regarding the complete partition of the Portuguese colonial possessions. Ger many is to receive all the Portuguese possessions in Asia, with 20,000 square miles ot territory ana J.yuu.ouu innao itants, Germany further receives in Africa all Portuguese territory north of Mosambique, except a strip of land three miles wide, for Mr. Cecil Rhodes' trans-Africa- n railway. For this the German government will pay Portugal 25,000,000 marks. REST AT ARLINQTON., Burial of the Martyred Heroes of the Maine. Washington. Jan. 1.

Bradstreet's says: Holiday influence and stock-takin- g impart an appearance of dullness to general distributive trade, broken, however, by fair activity in reorder business to fill up stocks de- pleted by the heaviest holiday trade that has ever hef.n fiTTWvrifinonH Anticipation of spring trade wants has given a more than ordinarily ac- tive appearance to business in dry goods at New York, while in industrial lines the efforts of manufacturers to keep up with filled order-book- s is re- sulting in unusually active operations. Following the flurry in money, stocks and in some lines of speculative com- modities noted last week, has come, as was expected, a more cheerful tone, and a firming up in quotations is noted In such staples as cotton, which was effected by last week's money develop- ments, and also in hog products, cof- fee, copper, tin and lead. The strength of textiles is still a feature which finds justification in current statistics of larger season's receipts and sales of wool, and in reports of enlarged old and heavily increased new capacity in manufacturing lines. In iron and steel, seasonable quiet ae regards new business is observable, but unabated activity on earlier booked orders is reported. In some cases, no shutdown was made for the holidays by mills and furnaces. Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 8,610,557 bush- els, agaist 2,813,714 bushels last week, 6,202,625 bushels in the corresponding week of 1898. 6,495,061 bushels in 1895. . For the year, failures are the smallest in number for 17 years past, and were it not for a few heavy fiancial suspen- sions in December, liabilities, which will exceed those of 1892 slightly, would have been smallest for 12 yeais past. .

WHAT IS CONTRABAND OF WAF Possible Change of Policy Sir Charles Dllke Warns Against a liasty Over turning of Precedents. London, Jan. 1. Lord Rosebery writes as follows this morning to the ilmes: ' "There are disquieting intimations which appear to point to our govern ment Having treated foodstuffs as con traband of war, As this is a matter of supreme importance, I venture to ad dress this line to you in the hope that it may elicit an authoritative statement on the subject." ,, ' . The Times, commenting editorially upon Lord Roseberry's letter, says? "Too little is known f the seiauret for any valid inferenoe safely to be drawn. Aa emergency might arise when certain foodstuffs would be re garded as contraband - while others would not, especially if the latter were intended for concern batants There might, for instance, be reasonable grounds for treating canned goods as contraband and flour as legitimate." After admitting that it "would be unadvisable to create a precedent which might some day be invoked against us," the article concludes as ' follows; "While we fully share the vievf that no serious change of policy should oo cur without cogent reasons , and ample consideration, wo cannqt bnt ask our selves whether, in the event ot Great Britain being engaged in war, the action, either Of the enemy or even of neutral powers, in; a matter noon which suoh groat divergence of opinion still exists is likely to be governed by any precedent we or any one else may have set in the past, rather than by the immediate interests of the moment," A NEW YQRK FIRE, Two Seven-Stor- y Buildings Were De- stroyed Firemen Injured. New York, Jan. ,1.

' The Campbell company employed 400 hands, who will be thrown out of work by the fire. The properties of all three firms are de- stroyed beyond the ' hope of saving a dollar's worth.

The pur chase of foreign vessels by the United States government for use as transports during the Spanish-America- n war and their subsequent sale by the gQYern-me- nt to private citizens has resulted in complicating matters for purchasers from the fact that after purchase of suchsvessels the government refuses to allow them to b documented & the United States as American vessels. The pase in point is the steamship Scipio, which was recently sold by the navy department and was afterwards refused documentation. The purchaser applied to the secretary pf he treasury, asking that if he shpuJd break the Scipio up, whether the material of which she was constructed would be subject to duty if sold in the United States. Yesterday Collector Heustis received a circular letter covering the above case from the treasury depart- ment in which Acting Secretary Spaul-din- g says that upon the sale of said vessel in a port of the United States the materia or materials taken there? from would not bo regarded as an im portation within the meaning of thft customs laws, and would therefore pt from duty. ; The Plague Scare, San Francisco, Jan. 1.

The flank operations were successful. The infantry and field batteries immediately made a feint attack on the Boer front. and while this was proceeding the cav- alry and light artillery got completely around the enemy's right flank, as ar ranged. The programme worked without hitch. The Boers were utterly sur prised, and, finding their retreat threat ened, fled in disorder, to the eastward, leaving Colesburg in General French's hands. Artillery Duel for Two Hours. London, Jan. 3 The Daily Mail has the following dispatch, dated January 1, from Reinsberg: "Yesterd'sy afternoon a big force oi cavalry and infantry, with 10 guns, under the personal command of General French, moving by a detour, occupied some hills three miles from - Colesburg, where the Boers were in strength, con fident in the natural aid afforded them by the hills around. "The enemy '8 position extended six miles around the entire village. At daybreak our artillery opened the bat tle. The Boers were taken by surprise, but replied vigorously. An artillery duel was mamtainned for two - hours. Then a Boer Hotchkiss collapsed and was abandoned. We captured it. A Boer big gun was silenced, but this and the other Boer guns were with drawn to the northward, whither we are harassing the Boer retreat by a damaging shell fire. "Colesburg is in our hands, and the few remaining loyalists are jubilant. We have oaptured many wagons and a considerable quantity of stores. - ' .

Assistant Sec- - retray of War Meiklejohn, in a letter to Representative Long, of Kansas, . re- garding the opening of the hemp ports in the Phlippme islands, says: The estimated exports of hemp from the Philippine islands .for one year, of American occupation will ap- proximate 100,000 tons, of which amount 29,000 tons should be credited to the United States. This places the estimated exports to the United States for the year ot American occupation at abqut 17,000 tons less than the ex ports of 1897. This is accounted for by the fact that there have been opened for shipment only three porta of the Philippine islands. "Every effort has been made by the war department in the past and will be made in the future to comply with re quests to open all the hemp ports of the islands." ' Aoetylene Gas Explosion.

Boers Were Driven Back by

Portuguese South Africa Is to Be Divided Up,

New York, Jan. 1. A dsipatch tothe Herald from Berlin says:i The Lokal Anzieger publishes thecontents of the German-English-Por- tu

guese secret treaty. This double treatywill have executive force as soon as theSwiss jurists, Messrs . Blaesi-Hensle- y

and Goldau, have given a decision inthe Delagoa bay arbitration.

The decision, it is expected, will begiven in January or February and willprobably be in favor of England, inwhich case foftugai must pay to ingland and America an indemnity of 1,.900,000. England obtained in 1891from Portugal the right of pre-empti-

in Delagoa bay, and the cession 01 Delagoa bay to England may therefore beexpected in March next. '

It is possible that President Krugermay now declare War on Portugal andattack Delagoa at once.

In order to prevent any interferenceby France or Russia, Enlgand ' coneluded a secret treaty with Germanyregarding the complete partition of thePortuguese colonial possessions. Germany is to receive all the Portuguesepossessions in Asia, with 20,000 squaremiles ot territory ana J.yuu.ouu innaoitants, Germany further receives inAfrica all Portuguese territory north ofMosambique, except a strip of landthree miles wide, for Mr. Cecil Rhodes'trans-Africa- n railway. For this theGerman government will pay Portugal25,000,000 marks.

Temporary Reaction From the HeaviestHoliday Trade on Record.

Bradstreet's says: Holiday influenceand stock-takin- g impart an appearanceof dullness to general distributive trade,broken, however, by fair activity inreorder business to fill up stocks de-

pleted by the heaviest holiday tradethat has ever hef.n fiTTWvrifinonH

Anticipation of spring trade wantshas given a more than ordinarily ac-tive appearance to business in drygoods at New York, while in industriallines the efforts of manufacturers tokeep up with filled order-book- s is re-

sulting in unusually active operations.Following the flurry in money, stocksand in some lines of speculative com-modities noted last week, has come, aswas expected, a more cheerful tone,and a firming up in quotations is notedIn such staples as cotton, which waseffected by last week's money develop-ments, and also in hog products, cof-

fee, copper, tin and lead. The strengthof textiles is still a feature which findsjustification in current statistics of

larger season's receipts and sales ofwool, and in reports of enlarged oldand heavily increased new capacity inmanufacturing lines.

In iron and steel, seasonable quiet aeregards new business is observable, butunabated activity on earlier bookedorders is reported. In some cases, noshutdown was made for the holidaysby mills and furnaces.

Wheat (including flour) shipmentsfor the week aggregate 8,610,557 bush-els, agaist 2,813,714 bushels last week,6,202,625 bushels in the correspondingweek of 1898. 6,495,061 bushels in1895. .

For the year, failures are the smallestin number for 17 years past, and wereit not for a few heavy fiancial suspen-sions in December, liabilities, whichwill exceed those of 1892 slightly,would have been smallest for 12 yeaispast. .

Wants England to DefineHer Position.

WHAT IS CONTRABAND OF WAF

Possible Change of Policy Sir CharlesDllke Warns Against a liasty Overturning of Precedents.

London, Jan. 1. Lord Roseberywrites as follows this morning to theilmes: '

"There are disquieting intimationswhich appear to point to our government Having treated foodstuffs as contraband of war, As this is a matter ofsupreme importance, I venture to address this line to you in the hope thatit may elicit an authoritative statementon the subject." ,, ' .

The Times, commenting editoriallyupon Lord Roseberry's letter, says?

"Too little is known f the seiauretfor any valid inferenoe safely to bedrawn. Aa emergency might arisewhen certain foodstuffs would be regarded as contraband - while otherswould not, especially if the latter wereintended for concern batants Theremight, for instance, be reasonablegrounds for treating canned goods ascontraband and flour as legitimate."

After admitting that it "would beunadvisable to create a precedent whichmight some day be invoked againstus," the article concludes as ' follows;

"While we fully share the vievf thatno serious change of policy should oocur without cogent reasons , and ampleconsideration, wo cannqt bnt ask ourselves whether, in the event ot GreatBritain being engaged in war, theaction, either Of the enemy or even ofneutral powers, in; a matter noonwhich suoh groat divergence of opinionstill exists is likely to be governed byany precedent we or any one else mayhave set in the past, rather than by theimmediate interests of the moment,"

Last night all the cavalry, artilleryand infantry, the latter riding in wagons to increase the general mobility.started upon a night march with theobject o'f turning the Boer's right. Theflank operations were successful. Theinfantry and field batteries immediatelymade a feint attack on the Boer front.and while this was proceeding the cav-

alry and light artillery got completelyaround the enemy's right flank, as arranged.

The programme worked withouthitch. The Boers were utterly surprised, and, finding their retreat threatened, fled in disorder, to the eastward,leaving Colesburg in General French'shands.

Artillery Duel for Two Hours.London, Jan. 3 The Daily Mail has

the following dispatch, dated January1, from Reinsberg:

"Yesterd'sy afternoon a big force oicavalry and infantry, with 10 guns,under the personal command of GeneralFrench, moving by a detour, occupiedsome hills three miles from - Colesburg,where the Boers were in strength, confident in the natural aid afforded themby the hills around.

"The enemy '8 position extended sixmiles around the entire village. Atdaybreak our artillery opened the battle. The Boers were taken by surprise,but replied vigorously. An artilleryduel was mamtainned for two - hours.Then a Boer Hotchkiss collapsed andwas abandoned. We captured it. ABoer big gun was silenced, but thisand the other Boer guns were withdrawn to the northward, whither weare harassing the Boer retreat by adamaging shell fire.

"Colesburg is in our hands, and thefew remaining loyalists are jubilant.We have oaptured many wagons and aconsiderable quantity of stores. - '

. "Our loss was quite slight, but theBoers must have suffered heavily.They may stop at Achertang or crossthe river altogether at Norvalspont,where the bridge ia still intact." ..

. i Philippine Hemp Trade.Washington, Jan. 3. Assistant Sec- -

retray of War Meiklejohn, in a letterto Representative Long, of Kansas, . re-

garding the opening of the hemp portsin the Phlippme islands, says:

The estimated exports of hempfrom the Philippine islands .for oneyear, of American occupation will ap-

proximate 100,000 tons, of whichamount 29,000 tons should be creditedto the United States. This places theestimated exports to the United Statesfor the year ot American occupationat abqut 17,000 tons less than the exports of 1897. This is accounted forby the fact that there have been openedfor shipment only three porta of thePhilippine islands.

"Every effort has been made by thewar department in the past and will bemade in the future to comply with requests to open all the hempports of the islands."
