There were several casualties, it is sald, and the remainder of the force was captured. General Kitchener has left Naauwpoort and gone northward. The rapid concen~ tration of troops in the disturbed districts through the personal energy of General Kitchener has allayed the local uneasi- ness.

RIS @pectat Dispatch to The Call BOSTON, Dec. 26.—One of the most sen- sational episodes In the criminal line which the police have been called upon to handle in a long time came to a climax to-night in the arrest of Mrs. Carrie Hun- toon, aged 26, well known in soclety and at the time of her marriage one of the belles of the city of Concord, N. H. The charge against her is conspiracy with in- tent to kill her divorced husband, W. C Huntoon, of whom it is asserted she has been extremely jealous and whom of late she apparently has hated with an inten- sity that may have caused her mental derangement. Mrs. Huntoon eame into undesirable no- tice during an incident on Main street last spring, when she seized from the hands of a well-known young woman a letter said to have been written to the latter by Mr. Huntoon. At the September term of the Superior Court Mrs. Huntoon | was granted a divorce from her hushand on statutory grounds. Among her friends it is said that she had often expressed feelings of hatred toward Mr. Huntoon From a beautiful bride of a few years 2g0 her grief has made her haggard in feature and emaciated in form so that she | had the sympathy of all who knew her. Tt is claimed that on Monday last Mrs, Huntoon came to Boston and in the Union station accosted a young man, a total stranger, asking him If he was looking for work and would like to earn a dollar He sald he was and she asked him to get | her a man to do a job for her.

The Boers are active and headed soldiers of the provost marshal type had been given a free hand in the Philippines the task of subjugating the | unfortunate islanders would have been much more simple. If the Japanese have come out of the muddle with flying colors they at least have the Americans close behind. It was worth sending an expedi- tion to China if only to get a few hints on transport from the Americans. Their scheme of municipal government could not be bettered by the British, who have learned the business from experience in an order to withdraw, and to leave a guard at the fourth gate.
