rises and falls fore and aft throughout
the stranded and helpless ship and the
surf roars about her ominously and

weight of ship and cargo and the Wild

break up at any moment. and the sea
is SO rough no boat can approach with
out risk. Still Capt. Barrett refuses to
leave. 20
The night and the seas have no, ter
rors for him alongside the disaster
which attended what was probably his
last voyage. The captain is 73 years OF
age and has sailed in the Allans' At
lantic steamers for many years with
out serious accident. The captain will
not be persuaded to leave the magni-
ficent ship he commanded until the
proper officers are in charge to prevent
piracy.
The work Of saving cargo is pro-
crossing slowly on account of the risk
of approach. A large fleet of fishing
craft hover round ready for plumber.
and. tonight. the agents were wired for
steamer to protect the wreck.
An important fact has come out.
The lead log and lookout were all
carefully used The compass was out

GERS who have been surveying in the
neighborhood of Yarmouth and Cape

When the announcement was made
that the regiment would be organized
here several officials at the barracks,

"A similar request was made of

that the presence Of egroes at this

resulting from a fall from his horse
while serving in the Cuban army with
General Gomez.
In the course of an interview General
Funston remarked that he would not
mind staying in LuZon. He dislikes
war, but inasmuch as there IS lighting
he would like TO remain and aid IN
bringing il TO a close. Speaking Of the
future he said:
The only solution of the problem
will be through whipping the insur-
gents. l do not think they will insur-
der. When we begin active operations
against them on a large scale in the au-
tumn we will scatter them into small
bands, and / think when the soldiers
composing these bands see that they are
persistently pursued they will throw
away or hide their arms return 10
the pursuits of peace. y year hence
small bodies of armed men will be able
10 go anywhere in Luzon. The island
has always been infested with bandits
aud was never safe for Europeans to
travel. Probably after the end OF the
fighting the highwaymen will be more
numerous because the members Of
Aguinaldo's army, who w lived for
years with guns in their hands. have
acquired a taste for bush life n wo"'
rather continue as highwaymen unan
return TO work.
Cavalry is greatly needed here. The
country, when dry, is superb for caval-
ry operations. The insurgents have
none. One of their strong points Is
their ability to retreat rapidly. Cav
airy would overtake and hopelessly
scatter and punish them, and could sub
sist largely on the country. Whom
cavalry is once here it should be given
a chance to go ahead and not be kept
in towns for guard duty. Our Creates
successes have been gained when the
regimental commanders have been al.
lowed to quickly follow up the advant-
ages gained in battle. Small bodies ot
Americans, operating freely and com.
manded by officers of dash and energy
could badly break W the enemy. The
capture Of A~guinaldo by cavalry would
be a less difficult proposition than tn
capture of the Apache chiefs in Arizona

THE Beers STAND FIRM
They show no Indications Of Backing
Down Before Great Britain

Pretoria, September 1.-The Volks-
a has deferred the discussion of the
correspondence between the imperial
and the T~ransvaal governments until
Monday. when a motion regarding The
presence of British troops on the
Transvaaal border will be debated Sc
cretly.
Large crowds gathered around the
building, anxious TO learn the latest in
t~elligence. President Kruger remained
with the executive until a late hour,
discussing the situation.
Johannesburg, September 1.-The
town IS preparing for the eventualities
Of war. The inmates of the children'S
home are going to Natal.
The town council is providing a three
months supply of food for the men and
| animals connected with the scavenging
department. All the outgoing trains
are crowded and most of the promi-
| nent men have already left Johannes
burg.
C~apetown. September 1.-Reports re-
ceived here from various outlying dis
tricts Of the T~ransvaal describe them
as being in a state Of excitement. The
burgherS, it is said, are watching the
developments keenly, but the majority
Of them hope for a peaceful solution
OF the crisis.
There is n general exodus of British
subjects from the large towns.
London, september 1.-THE Pretoria
correspondent Of The Morning Post
says:
President Kruger told a prominent
Boer yesterday "wednesday that war
was practically certain Every Boer
is now armed with a Mauser and has
100 rounds Of ammunition strictly for
future use, with forty rounds for prac-
tice.
Il am convinced that the reports OF
the Beers not being prepared are only
a pretense and that they will strike a
blow when it is least expected"
The Johannesburg correspondent %
| The Standard says:
1T is generally understood that there
is the strongest inclination in the
v~olksraaad to repudiate British suze-
rainty. A large section Of the Beers Is
strongly opposed to a concession of the
franchise on the basis Of a five year
residence, and the position is still very
grave.
