CAPTAIN FRENCH DEAD.
Was Wounded In Mondays Fight

Washington. Oct. 31.--A cablegram
from General Otis to the war depart

Captain Charles French, Thirty-siXth
Infantry. who was wounded in yester-
days fight at Florida Blanco. Gen
eral Otis states that death was the re-
suit of a shock, consequent upon am

CALL FOR MORE TROOPS.
War Office to Order Second Army
Corps In Readiness.

London, Oct. 31.-It is learned by the
Associated Press that the war Office
has ordered a second army corps to be
in readiness to be called out. The mill
tary officials have net yet decided
whether the contamination of the plan
will be necessary, but they are deter
mined to have everything in readiness
either for a demonstration in Europe
of Great Britain's capabilities or for
sending even larger force to the scene
of action. Until the receipt of the news
of the Ladysmith disaster the latter
course was considered out of the ques-
ton. But now there is no knowing
what steps will be decided upon.
The preparation TO call out the sec
ond army corps taken in conjunction
with the extraordinary naval activity
here has again aroused the belief in
British circles that the government has
good reason to anticipate European
hostility. No reason to justify this
latest reiteration of rumors of Russia.
French or German intervention can be
found. however. 1t was learned on
good authority that the motive consists.
TO quote an official, in wanting to show
the other fellows What we can do and
is on line with calling out the militia,
a purely precautionary measure die
tated by the necessity of bringing I'D
the home military force TO its normal
strength or rather to a strength pro-
portionate with the necessities of a ma
ton engaged in a foreign war.
Still ii is doubtful whether the second
corps will be actually called cut That
development depends on two circum-
stances, first, the attitude of European
nations. as evinced by this first serious
British reverse; second, upon the judg-
ment of General Butler who. finding the
conditions not so favorable as expected
may demand the troops
1t does not follow that the entire
army corps even if called out will be
sent TO General Butler. 1t is more prob
able that it will be kept home to supply
the places of units sent out in conson-
ance with General Buffers wishes.
Upon the present organization, these
home forces are supposed to be capable
OF raising at short notice three army
corps Should the war office decide
upon raising second corps il will ne

HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED
Some Are joyful and Others Sorrow
full Over the Disaster.

Brussels, Oct. 31.-Dr. Leyds, the spe-
cial representative of the Transvaal re-
public in Europe, in the course of an
interview regarding the situation at
Ladysmith, said he was greatly sur
prised at the news of the British dis
aster. While paying-a warm tribute
TO the candor OF Sir George White, he
pointed out that tactical error had
been committed by the British COM
mander in dividing his forces and un-
derrating the strength of the Beers. He
declined to give an opinion regarding
future developments.
kilograms of .congratulatien have
been received by him. he said. from all
parts of Europe and from all classes of
society. In reply to a question as to
the Boer forces, DR.. LeYds said that
the combined command of the Trans
vaal and the Free State aggregated
only $4,000. including old men and
boys.

Harsh things are said in military
circles of the British tactics which have
made possible the ambush of th1 Eigh-

that Sir George White is no match for
the Beers in that cunning by which the
Beers are conceived, and it is pointed
out that if the British comr.anders
continue to lead the men into obvious
traps, further disasters must be- looked
for.
