Ucnernl Ovmtn,
Among tho many notablo ovents worthy
ot a place In tho history of tho year war
holds tho foremost place. Rebellion, con
quest nnd rovcugo havo railed Into action
tho military arm of moro governments than
In any year for a generation, nnd Is n strik
ing parallel for tho disturbed condition of
tho world a century ngo. With ono excep
tion tho present disturbances nro ot n
mlror character. In South Africa tho war
waged by Great Britain against tho ro
PUbllrR taxed tho former's resources. Two
thirds of tho military stronglh of tho United
Etatos Is employed In tho Philippines sup
pressing tho nntlvo tusurroctlou. An expe
dition ot 30,000 men, comprising American,
British, Japanese, French, llusslan und
Italian troops, marched to tho capital of
China to tho relief of tho besieged lega
tions, severely punishing tho rcbolllous na
tives who attempted to chock tho Invasion,
Thus tho closing year of tho nineteenth
century, surpassingly great in tho arts of
pecco, draws, to a closo with a conspicuous
trial of war, with all tho wretchedness,
misery, desolation and death that war In
flicts. Audio from military operations, tho
year's events nro commonplace.
Witr In South Afrlen.
Tho war between Great Britain nnd tho
Eouth African republics, which began Octo
ber 16, 1S99, opened tho year with tho re
publican army In triumph on tho northern
borders of Capo Colony. British forces wcro
besieged In Luilysmlth, Mafoklng and Kim-
bcrly. Generals Duller nnd Methucn had
Just been repulsed, tho former on tho
Tugela and tho latter at Mngerstontelu
January 15 Lords Itobcrts and Kitchener
took command of tho British forces, On
tho satno day Buller's forces were checked
for tho second time on tho Tugela river.
Bplonkop was captured by tho British
on tho 23d nnd retaken by tho Boers on tho
J4tb, and Bullcr again retired. February
12 Lord Roberts put his army In motion. On
tho 13th Ilcnsburg wus taken, and two days
Inter tho slcgo of Klmbcrley was raised.
General Cronjo und his army of 4,000 men
fled enstwnrd, but was comorod and forced
to surrender nt Pnurdoberg on tha 27th,
From that data tho British encountered
llttlo opposition. Tho slrgo of Ladystulth
was raised on tho 2Sth, but tho relief ot
Mafcklng was delayed until May 1G, Gen
prnl Joubert, commnnder of tho Boor forces,
died March 27, nnd Ills chief of staff, Colouol
VIUobolB-Mnreutl, French military export,
was killed April 5. Lord Roberts entered
Bloemfonteln, capital ot tho Orange Free
State, unopposed, March 13, croesed tho
Vanl rlvor, May C, and entered Johannes
burg May 30. On that day President Krugcr
ml his governmental stnft left Pretoria,
the capital, which was occupied Juno 5.
Roth republics wero subsequently annexed,
by proclamation, to tho British emplro. The
fragments of tho Boer army retreated to the

dovoloped near l'ekln. Tho railroad south
ot thu capital was torn up, and tho slego
of tho representatives of foreign govern

Urgent appeals of tho legations to their
governments for help resulted In a con
