The Pretoria correspondent of the

All the morning papers comment up

The Daily Telegraph calls the speech
IAN informal ultimatum.''
The Standard says ii marks the most
critical stage yet reached.

FOE OF MALARIAL DISEASES.
Eucalyptus Tree Is to Be Experiment
ted With In Cuba.

Havana, Aug. Glowing to frequent
recommendations TO Governor General
Brooke of the eucalyptus tree as an anti
malarial agent, some Investigations into
the subject have been carried on under his
orders. Attention has been called to the
success obtained in cultivating the tree
in the vast Campagna di Roma. Italy.
where eucalyptus is now recognized as
rendering the whole territory much less
unhealthy. The city of Mexico is cited
as another instance. where the Vigo
canal. the floating gardens and other
malarial districts. are now well stocked
with young trees, with the results that
the place which were once marshy and
unhealthful. have been rendered dry and
inocuous.
one recommendation says that the

which was formberly maiarial mas been
planted with eucalyptus. the outcome al

marshy spots. The tree which absorbs
the moisture, grows very rapidly. often
ten feet in year. The wood is valuable

Fire Broke Out Early This Morning and the Little Ones
Could Not Be Rescued.

New York, Aug. 2S.-A special to the
| World from Nyaek says: Fire was
discovered in the large boys and girls
orphan asylum connected with st.
Anne's convent at Sparkill, Orange
county, at l a.. m. today (Monday), but
not before thesentire structure, a frame
building. was wrapped. in flames. Many
of the inmates, children, were burned
and suffocated, it was reported early
this morning.
The exact number of the dead could
not be told at'3:15 a. m, when the first
dispatches reached this city George
A MARITIME of Sparkill, one of those
who first discovered the fire, tele-
phoned to Nyack for assistance. Ma
zeppa Engine company responded from
that place. Eight doctors also went to
the asylum from Nyack. A request for
aid was also telephoned to Piedmont
Empire Engine company was dis
patched from Piedmont TO the scene of
the fire.
Piedmont is this side of Nyack, and
both engines, with their compliments
of fire fighters, arrived at about the
same time. Eight doctors also went
to the fire from Nyack to give relief
to the injured.
The asylum. which is conducted by
the Sisters of Mercy, held about 1000
children. 1t was a long frame build
ing three stories high. The flames were
not discovered until the whole building

CLASH OF ARMS THREATENED.
Mixup Between English and Rus
SLAMS In China.

Shanghai, Aug. 27.-As the outcome
of a dispute regarding the ownership
of some lands at Hankow, on the Yang
Use Kiang, about 200 miles from the
sea, which We're purchased in 1868 by
the concern of Jardine, Matheson &
Co, but were subsequently included in
the new concessions to Russia, the
owners, under the advice and protec-
ton of Mr.. Hurst, the British consul
sent workmen 10 fence in the tract
After the work was begun, a dozen
Cossacks from the Russian consulate
appeared on the scene, and forcibly
elected the workmen. The captain of

vice. after consulting with Mr.. Hurst

jackets are now guarding the prop

was one mass of fire. The children
had scant chances for escape.
Special trains over the New Jersey
Northern road were rushed TO the near
est railroad station. The asylum was
situated between Sparkill and Orange
burg.
The scenes at the conflagration were
heartrending. The children clad in
their night robes could be seen falling
backward into the furnace of flame and
smoke, while the shrieks of the dying
could be heard above the crackle of
the devouring flames.
Some of the children were crippled
for life by jumping from the windows
Many of the sisters also were injured.
while others lost their lives heriocally
while trying to rescue their charges.
Although the service of the fire ap-
paratus from neighboring places had
been promptly rendered. the engines
arrived too late TO be effective in saw
ing life or property.
The fire started on the upper floor of
the three-story building. Nearly 800 of
the occupants OF the convert occupied
rooms on this floor and all the dormitor-
les were lighted with kerosene lamps
There is little doubt that the fire was

and burned through the single roof of
the building in two places.
At the time of the discovery the fire had
made such progress that the sisters could
not awaken the hundreds of children un-
march them from the building as were
their practice at fire drills. Many of the
little victims were suffocated in their
sleep.

PREPARE FOR DEWEy'S COMING
ADMIRAL MAKS SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING THE RECEPTION.
Navy Department Will Not Permit
the Old Frigate Constitution to
Take Part In Parade.

New York, Aug. 21.-The executive
committee of the Dewey reception COM
mittee has received two letters from
Admiral Dewey. In the first, dated
Leghorn, Aug. 16. he says:
II shall, without fail. reach the lower
bay on Friday, Sept. %, and shall an
Choir there for the night, to be ready
for the official arrival and naval pa
rade on the following morning, Satur-
day, the 3Oth. While l should be graf
flied to meet any of my friends in the
navy. and especially the commanding
officers of the ships engaged at Ma
Mia, May !, 1898, l feel that this matter
of invitation should be left entirely
with the committee. | would suggest
that at the end of the display of fire
works off the battery, the OLYMPIA
should return,to North river, and an
Choir off Twenty-sixth street.
while your letter seems to indicate
that the battalion of the Olympia
should lead in the land parade, still L
am in doubt. 1t would be gratif1cation
to me and the officers and men of the
Olympia should the Olympia's battalon
of about $50 men be placed at the head
of the column.
In reference to the smoker il Is pro-
posed to give for the men. that is
matter that comes within the province
of the captain of the ship, but l have
little doubt that he would be pleased
to accept for them. l am much pleased
for various reasons that you have elm
mated a dinner from the programme.
and thank yourself and the committee
for the careful arrangements made 10
spare me any unnecessary fatigue:
In the second letter, written from
Naples. Aug. II, the admiral asks that
"a good, large military band" be de-
tailed to lead the Olympia's battalion
at the head of the land parade, the
Olympia's small band being hardly
equal to the occasion.
Admiral Dewey has been notified that
all his requests will be carried out.

INSPECT THE REGIMENTS.
Secretary Root and General Corbin
Pay Visit to Camp Meade.

Washington. Aug. 27.-Secretary Root
and Adjutant General Corbin paid a
flying visit to the army camp at Camp
Meade, Pa. today. They left here
last night at midnight and returned to
the city late this afternoon. Their OBJ
ject was to inspect the two new regi-
ments of volunteer infantry, the Twen
ty-seYenth and Twenty-eighth, which
have just been recruited, and are now
rendezvoused at that camp preparatory
to their departure for the Philippines.
Both the secretary and the adjutant
general are enthusiastic over the fine
appearance of the men of the regi-
ments. The men of the Twenty-sev-
enth regiment are under Colonel Bell,
and are under orders to proceed 10 San
Francisco, and probably will leave
Camp Meade on the train which is
bringing home from that city the
Pennsylvania organization which has
been doing duty in the Philippines.

Griggsby cavalry troopers. The selec-
ton will be made in the same manner
as they were for the senior ten vOlun-
teer regiments and the recommended
tons of Republican senators will un-
doubtedly be all important.
1t seems to have been fully agreed
upon by the war department. officials
that there will be no transfer of Off
GERS from the ten volunteer regiments
first recruited. There has been quite a
demand on the part of those officers fol-
transfer to and promotion in the newe,
regiments. But there has thus far beer
no encouragement given these officers,
the department holding that such
transfers would only break up the older
volunteer regiments without being any
particular advantage to the new ones.
There may be exceptions TO this rule,
but if so they will be made by reason
of congressional persuasion of the
president and not be due to any change
of attitude by the adjutant generals
