BOERS THREATEN PHILIPOLIS. AN AMERICAN SENSATION. The Boers threaten Philipolis, in the extreme south of the Orange River Colony. Documents found on the captured Dutch ambulance waggons and submitted to the Transvaal Concessions Commission, now sitting at Capetown, proved that the Netherlands railway officials had organised a corps to destroy bridges. The managing director, J. von Kretschzmar, has admitted that the railway was hopelessly compromised. A sensation has been caused in America in consequence of Senator Hanna charging Webster Davis, formerly a member of McKinley's Cabinet, and now a Democratic supporter, with having accepted a bribe of £*5,000 from Ex President Kruger to influence American opinion on the Boar war.
