GENERAL BOOTH IS FIRM.
Determined to Govern the Saliva.
tion Army Without Fear
or Favor.
Says That Single Exception Would
Have Caused Him to Lose
Respect.

LONDON, ENG, March 10.-A reporter
of The United Press obtained an interview
this afternoon with General Booth, COM
mander of the Salvation Army, who has
just arrived in London from India.
General Booth said that he was busily
considering the policy of the army in
America, but had not as yet been able to
formulate statement on the subject.
The general handed the reporter an ad-
vance copy of the War Cry, which con-
tanned the announcement that immedi-
ately upon his arrival in London General
Booth had addressed manifesto to the
officers and soldiers of the Salvation Army
in America, declaring that although his
heart was torn and he was sorely wounded
he was nevertheless determined to con-
duct the government of the army irrespec-
tive of person.
If he had been willing to make an excep-
ton in favor of one person in order to re-
tain the loyalty of that person he would
decisively have lost forever the confidence
and respect of all honest-hearted men anc
the approval of his own conscience.
The article asks the prayers of the army
for Eva Booth, the. new commander of the
army in America, and her comrades in the
United States.

Noted Men Who Appear for the
Prosecution and Defense of
the Accused.
SERGEANT HAY TESTIFIES.
Tells How the Troopers Were In.
duced to Invade Friendly
State.

LONDON, Eng, March 1u.-Dr. Jame-
son and tie officers who accompanied him
in the Transvaal raid were again arraigned
in the Bow Police Court this morn
ing and the charges against them were re-
newned. Major Coventry and Captain
Gertlng were added to the list of accused.
The courtroom was crowded with mem
bers of the aristocracy, among whom were
the Duke of Abercorn, the Earl and
Countess of Coventry and Lady Anally.
A large numb ber OF members of the House
OF Commons were also present. Sir Rich
ard Webster, ,Attorney-Generala and R. B.
Finlay. Solicitor-General conducted the
prosecution, and Sir Edward Clarke, Z. Ii.
Carson, NJ. P, and Sir Frank Lockwood
appeared for t5e defense. Magistrate Sir
John Bridge presided.
Sir Richard Webster, opening the case
for the prosecution, said that Jameson's
expedition into the Transvaal had long
been planned, but the rank and file of his
party were led to believe that they were to
proceed against a native chief On De-
cember 81, however, Major Coventry in
formed the men that they were not going
to fight the chief. but were going straight
to Johannesburg.
DR.. Jameson at Mafeking, on December
30 said to his followers that they were
going to the assistance OF the English
women and children in Johannesburg,
whose lives and property were IN danger.
Sir Richard then described Jameson's cut
ting OF the telegraph wires behind his ex-
!! pedltion and also described the kilograms
recalling Jameson and warning him OF the
| penalties of his acts.
Sergeant Hay, one of Jameson's troop
ers, was then conducted to the witness box
and gave detailed testimony confirming
the Attorney-General's allegations. Ser
geant NJ. Hay testified that several OF his
comrades in the Bechuanaland police at
first refused to join the expedition, not
knowing its object or destination, and
asked their superiors whether the move
ment was in obedience to the orders of the
Queen or the British South African Com
pany.
To these questions he said Colonel Grey
replied in a speech to the men before the
expedition left Mafeking: II cannot say
that we are going by the orders of her
Majesty the Queen, but will say that we
are going to fight for the supremacy of the
British flag in South Africa"
Hearing this decla ration, Sergeant Hay
said, most of the men decided to go, and
did 60, but ten of them refused and re-
mained behind.
The hearing at this point was adjourned
for week
DR.. jameson and his companions were
attired in stylish garments and appeared
to be perfectly at ease.
The hearing was perfectly orderly and
characterized by no noisy demonstrations
| which marked the first appearance of the
raiders in the Bow street court. The
courtroom was crowded, mostly with dis
| tinguished persons who were in full SYM
pathy witL Jameson and his companions,
but there was no cheering either on the
entrance or exit of the defendants.

Prats reports having had a battle with q
force of rebels 1000 strong, commanded by
Quintin Banderas and Angel Guerra, on
the Santa Rita estate, at Baro, in the prov
ince of Matanzas. The troops dislodged
the enemy, who were entrenched, and
later resisted successfully an attempt on
the part of the rebels to form in an arc
with the intention of surrounding General
Prats' cavalry. The arrival of REINFORCE
ments of infantry frustrated this, and with
the additional force the enemy was finally
dispersed.
The fight lasted four hours. The official
report of the engagement says that the
enemy lost twenty killed and a large num-
Der wounded.
The planters of the provinces of Havana
and Matanzas held meeting in this city
to-day and signed memorial to the cap
tain-general asking him to suspend the
collection of taxes and prohibit the insti-
tuition of judicial proceedings against
planters for debt, urging that their insol-
vent condition is due to the impossi bility
under the existing circumstances of grind
ing the sugar cane crop.
Colonel Vicuna reports an engagement
with insurgents at Pedros, province of
Matanzas, in which fourteen of the rebels
were killed.
The loss to the troops was only one
killed. General Barges reports that Gen.

CLEVEL1ND IS WORRIED.
In No Hurry to nush Into Tar
WITH Spain.

NEW YORK, n. Y, March 10-A
Herald special from Washington says: 1t
is not secret among persons close to the
President that he is considerably worried
over the Cuban question. Within the last
few days he has talked quite frequently to
members of Congress and others about
the matter and has plainly intimated that
he regards the policy pursued by Congress
as injudicious and likely to lead to serious
consequences. While some OF the friends
of Cuba have talked about war with Spain
as lightly as if such thing was nothing
more than military picnic, the President
feels too keenly that war with any power
would entail this Government in enormous
expense, the disarrangement of our COM
merce would follow and our business
affairs for the time being would suffer,
and we would lose valuable lives.
AS for the probability of war between
this country and Spain growing out of
Cuban affairs, it is the belief IN admins
tration circles that if we recognize the bel
ligerency of the Cubans, certainly if we
recognize their independence, hostilities
between this country and Spain cannot be
avoided. To what extent that would in
NOlfS OlDC1 pONO4S III the FciN SIdNC QuSs-
ton cannot be determined at this time,
but is q matter SO serious as not to be
lightly tossed to one side.
1t is not known whether Spain has any
alliance or can count upon the support of
any more of the powers, and the admins
tratlon would like to know whether Spain
is isolated or whether she has resources
which we might ind it troublesome to
match.
There is a belief, founded upon certain
information that has come to the admin
istratioH, that both France and Germany,
acting without concert, are strongly op-
posed to the Monroe doctrine Both see
in the assumption OF the doctrine a tend
ency on the part of South Americans to
establish closer trade relations with the
United States at the expense of other ma
tioNs.
1 Is is especially obnoxious to Germany.
which OF late years has been seeking that
trade. Germany's interests in Cuba are
very large. and any change in the political
power would be apt to change the existing
trade relations. These are some of the
reasons why the Cuban situation is a great
deal more complicated and delicate than
the average member of Congress thinks,
and why the President believes Congress
should act with all deliberation.
