PROTEST OF THE
GERMANS AGAINST
TRANSVAAL WAR

BERLIN. Oct 25-At meeting of 1000
members of the Pan-German and Anti
Semitic League at Hamburg to-day called
to protest against the Transvaal war a
dispatch was sent to Emperor William
full of solemn patriotic effusions and urg-
ing him to intercede in behalf of the Beers
and postpone his journey to England.
The Vossische Zeitung, commenting on
this. says: vigorous protests should be
made against passionate and malevolent
treatment of the war, which gives color
to the idea that the Germans cannot do
enough to show their enmity for Great
Britain The majority in this country
have nothing in common with the Anglo
phobia in which the Hamburg meeting
waded."
The paper then quotes Prince Bis
marck's dictum that Great Britain s
friendship is more useful to Germany
than the whole valley of the Nile and the
pyramids, adding: Had Prince Bis
marck been an English Minister he would
have acted toward the Beers like the
English Government has done"
The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten de-
scribes President Steyns proclamation as
false step that may have serious re-
suits
The Kolnische Zeitung pays a tribute
of gallantry to the British officers, point
ing out that of the German loss in the
battle of Spicheren only 41a per cent were
officers, while at Glencoe and Glands
wounded was 1419 per cent of the total

WOLSELEY HAS
DOCTORED REPORTS
FROM THE FRONT

LONDON, Oct 25.-The commander-in-
chief, Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, has
apparently now been convicted of doc
torings official reports from the front,
and there is a strenuous demand on all
sides for a reversion to the earlier prac-
tice, when the reports of General Sir
Stewart White, the British commander in
Natal, were given out textually as soon
as received The commander-in-chief' s
summary, as read in the House of Com
mons yesterday, spoke of General White
having fought successful action,
whereas General Whites own account
puts an entirely different complexion on
the situation, reduces the movement to
its proper proportions and shows that
further exciting intelligence may be eX-
pected from the same quarter at any mo-
ment 1t is quite evident that the war
in Natal has only commenced, and that
the Beers are by no means discouraged
at losing the first two battles. Many ex-
perts are satisfied that General Joubert
is even now close to the heels of the
British and that a decisive action may
be fought soon.
The main fact that the British were
forced TO evacuate the Natal triangle,
which the Beers naturally and rightly
claim as a conspicuous success, and
which they even emphasize by procla-
nation anneXlDS Ndtdl, Is pIoN-
ing an unpalatable pill to the public,
whose appetite has been whetted by the
previous successes, which had been as
sumed to be greater than they really
were, as the determination and gallantry
of the Beers enable them to quickly re-
organize and achieve desired objects by
other methods.
Later estimates of the Beers losses at
Glands Laagte give 300 killed. Their cool
ness, bravery and good aim can be judged
from the fact that out Of seventeen or
eighteen officers with the half battalion
of Gordon Highlanders four were killed
and thirteen were wounded, while the
casualties among the rank and file were

between Gavin Brown Clark, Radical

of Essex. Mr. Clark denied Major Rascn
statement that he Clark was In the
Roar camp at the time Of the fight at
Majuba Hill, and characterized the as
sertion as a sample of the misrepresen-
tation now prevailing.
Major Rasch promptly retorted that his
statement was made on the authority Of
Mr.. Clark himself, who told him so six
years ago. adding If Mr.. Clark again de-

take the first opportunity Of repeating
the statement to him outside of Parlia-
