PETROGRAD, Dec. —The Russian General Stull states
that the campaign of the Germans in Poland was evidently
a nnttempt by the invaders to tnrrv everything before them
In the swiftness and boldness of operations of a eomprarativi
ly limited number of troops, \\liielt, balked in its fierce onward
rush, lias become a persistent grinding against the Russian
center. Heavy reinforcements, recently received by the Ger
mans, are being concentrated in the move to break through
the center and turn it back against the wings. By the most
desperate lighting the Germans have managed to extricate
themselves from the dangerous position in which they were
placed a few days ago, when they were surrounded by the
Russians, but the offensive movement inaugurated since that
time lias been without result, their numerous fierce attacks
having been repulsed.

LONDON, Doc. :i—General DeWctt, leader of the Boer
uprising in South Afriet, was captured by British troops to
day. The capture occurred on a farm in British B'-chuaua
bind, ami was effected without tiring a shot, the General and
hi followers surrendering when they saw that fighting would
only lead to a useless slaughter.
The capture of General DeWitt, has greatly r< It v- d the
apprenhensions of the gov< rninent oflieials, who have feared
that the uprising, unless speedily chocked, would assume a ma
gnitude that would compel the sending of a large number of
troops to Africa, and thus decrease the number that might he
Mmt.agaiust the Germans.
With tlx-capture of.])eWitt, the officials deelar that tlx
backbone of tin- rebellion has been broken, and there is no
longer danger of the revolt getting beyond control of the
soldiers now in the field, and it is believed that within a short
time the uprising will have been subdued. ,- ..
