O. THE BATTLE BREWTN&f. British Planning Attaok by Way ofWeenen. Fight Around Coles burar Developing Into a General Engagement. London, Jan. 8. Though nothing defi nite is permitted to pas the censor suffi cient transpired to confirm the belief that an important move on the Tugela river is imminent. The continual bombard ment kept up oh the Boer entrenchments and the numerous reconnoissances are apparently connected with a well defined purpose. There are some indications that the British plan of attack includes an important movement by the way of Weenen. Col. Baden-Powell's defeat in the sortie at Mafeking raises serious doubts of his ability to hold out much longer, i Today, however, comes a report that Col. Plum mer reached Mochuidi, from Fort Tuli, about Jan. 1st, with the fihoderaian' re lief force. As Col. Plummer had at his disposal about 2,000 men, if the news is correct, he ought to be able to raise the siege of Mafeking. News is received that fighting around Colesbunr was renewed this eiorning. The British opened to the westward of the town. The dispatches indicate that the attack is developing into ; a general engagement. I Advices from Belmont say; that two companies of Canadians, dispatched to cover the return of Col. Plummet's col umn, occupied a pass six miles out, to prevent any attempt of the Boers to cut off the force. r A dispatch from Cape Town relative to the release of the steamer Mashona, hav ing a quantity of American flour aboard, says tne cave arouses less intereet than that of the Bundesratb, which, it is claim ed, has been known for a year as a car rier of war material to the Transvaal. Col. Sir Charles Howard Vincent sailed for South Africa today, although the doc tors have not allowed him to accompany the London volunteers. Col. Vincent is determined to give his unofficial services at the seat of war. Still Another German Ship Seised. Durban, Jan. 6.The German steamer Herrog has been seized by a British war ship and brought to this port. An Attaok on Caesar's Camp. London,. Jan. 6. The war office this evening issued the following: ''From Bul ler, Frere Camp, Jan. 6.--Tbe following telegram was recei ved from Gen. White, Jan. 6, 9 a. m : 'The enemy , attaked Caesar's Camp at 2:45 a. m. in consider able force. The enemy was everywhere repulsed, but the fighting continues.' War Office Shuts Down on News. London, Jan. 7. Gen. Buller's telegram to the war office, stating that Gen. White, at Ladysmith, reported under date of Jan. 6th, y a. m., that the enemy bad attacked Caesar's Camp at 2:45 a. m. and that the fighting was still in pro gress, caused many late calls at the war office m expectation of the report of ad ditional news. It is stated at 'midniirht. however, that nothing further would be issued during the night. AO news baa been received from other sources, though the day's dispatches indicate that impor tant events at the front are imminent, if not actually progressing, at this time. i To Imnort Haves. News-Observer. . The Washington correspondent writes the Asheville Gazette that Col. Melville Hayes, of Ohio, son of Rutherford B. Hayes, will can vass ... N,orth Carolina in opposition to the constitutional amend ment. : He is said to be "an able and en tertaining speaker" and is expected to lend interest to the Pritchard-Butler-Jim Young anti-amendment caravan which is to cover the State. Let him come on. The people of North Carolina have - been subjected to coer cion from federal troops, dictation from bloody shirt wavers, and threats of one sort or another for a long time. It has stood Canby, Tourgee Pritchard and other importations and risen superior to all. J It will do its own thinking and voting, Mr. Hayes or no Mr. . Hayes. If Pritchard will import a ; dozen other Ohio orators, the. amendment will be carried by forty thousand. There is no fear or danger from an open, fight from Ohio, and the anti-amendment folks are not depending on their help. ' Hanna is probably sending Hayes down as dis tributor to see that the money sent here to buy the State does not stick in the pockets of Republican leaders as it has been wont to do in the past. ---- Thx Free Press carries a large stock of papers and envelopes of all sorts, suit able for all kinds of printing.

Filipinos, Shoots and Horribly Mutilate Americans Held as Prisoners. Town and Barracks Burned. Manila, Jan. 6, 7:30 a. m. Advices from Magaran, province of Pampanga, report that Capt. Conhauser. with three companies of the Twenty-eighth regi ment, captured the irsunrent stronir- hold Commanche, on Mt. Aroyat, yester day. Three Americans were wounded, but the enemy's loss is notknown. Three members of the Ninth and two of the Twelfth regiment, whom the insurgents held as prisoners, were shot and horribly mutilated. Three of them are dead and the other two are recovering. Capt. Conhauser set fire to the barracks and the town. Prisoners Released. Washington, Jan. 6. Official confirma tion has come from both Gen. Otis and Admiral Watson of the first reports from Manila of the release of the Ameri can prisoners who have been held in the hands of the Filim'nos for many months. and there is no longer any doubt that Lieut, wiimore, of the lorktown, Is among the number. Gen. Otis dispatch reads as follows: "The prisoners no tv en route from Vf gan Arrived tonight, and a list of them will be telegraphed tomorrow. Capt, Gilmore is amontr the number." The sweeping statements made in the dispatches to the effect that all of the American prisoners have been released, bas aroused a hope that in the list will appear the names of some of the officers and privates of the army who are set down upon the army rolls as missing. Prominent among the missing army officers was Major Charles M. Rockefeller of the Ninth infantry. This, officer ad vanced beyond the lineR during the fierce fighting early last summer.- He disap peared completely and no trace of his body was ever found. PENALTY FOR BRIBERY.

It was dead" next morning. It is supposed that 'the child got too far under the toother's arm, : and was smothered to death.. . :, ; Monroe Journal:" We heartily join,: Superintendent Mebane in his hope that the time may come when the work of public education willberegarded' as too sacred for the touch of any polit, ical party. K Public primary education lnM North, Carolina is in a very nidi-, mentary state of development, and can only continue to be so as lng as it re mains in the category of political spoils. Of course something else must needs be done to bring advancement, but this desire of Mr. Mebane is the first." Supt. Mebane has issued a letter to the county superintendents i of ; education- instructing them to apportion to the va-, rious districts their part of the f 100,000. , appropriated by the legislature, and says: '.'This money was given to the Irablic schools by the legislature. It wu ntended they should have it, and Iihvh it , now. They need it, and if the people ... and the press of the State will help me, ' they will get it. I notice that tbei-e'a always money in the treasury to pay o other appropriations; there ought to be ; some there for the schools." Near Raleigh Saturday three boys, ; sons of prominent citizens, were drown ed. They were Mial Williamson, aged 15. son of Captain B. P. Williamson, treasurer of Wake county; Edwin lee, , aged 14, only son of Mr. Gee Lee, a. Erominent leaf tobacco dealer; James inton, aged 15; only son of Mr. Charles Ilinton, formerly executive clerk of Gov. ' Carr. The boys were schoolmates and devoted friends. They had planned to spend the day hunting on Mr Uinton'si . farm. They had gone only a mile and a half from the Hinton residence before ' tbey came to a pond known ns Hinton's pond and maintained for fishing pur poses. This being frozen over, they placed their guns on the bank and went out on the ice But they had not gone' far before it broke through and all went under together. Four hours later they were found, frozen and lifeless, under the ice. A sensation was sprung in the federal court at , Raleigh,, Saturday, which is trying Mai shall for counterfeiting, byth arrest and arraignment of Mr. James McGowan, of Wilmington, one of the witnesses in the Mitrshall case, on a bench warrant for contempt. McGowan was kept under arrest until the court ad- journed at 2 p. m. when he was released? on his personal, recognizance to appear from day to day until bis case shall be disposed of. The facts in the cnse seem to be that Mr. McGowan was standing! H in front of the Pullen building discussing the Marshall case with Mr. J. T. Watte, Jndge Purnell was going from his resi- dence to the court room and as he war 5 passing, Mr. McGowan, who bas long--known Judge Pmnell, said to Mr. Watts in a voice so loud that Judge , Purnell heard it: "This trial is a malicious pros- , ecutionof Marshall and, a conspiracy, but." The rest of the sentence Judge . Purnell did not hear. Judge Purnell, 1 went to his office and at once issued a., bench warrant for Mr. McGowan for contempt. The warrant was put in the hands of a deputy marshal, but Mr. Mc Gowan hearing that it had been issued; went at once to the court room and gave .: himself up.
