1t In hoped that large number OF con-
tributions will como forward this week,
as the list will be held open for only a
short time longer. There Is still over
sl70o to be contributed in order to COM
plete the $500 needed to pay the build
ing debt
The ladies OF the Faith Home associa-
ton borrowed this scsoo in order TO nnish
their new building. They now have a
Faith Home that cost $1,000. and The
Post has called upon the people Of Hous-
ton to pay the debt on this home.
The Faith Home ladies have many sx-
penses to meet and should by all means
be relieved Of this debt. which is proving
| burdensome to them, small though 1t Is.
The Faith Home association is comosed
of members OF all churches. It is nom
sectarian institution and Is destined to
minister to the happiness and comfort OF
! Gods little ones--to heed the cries OF the
HELPLESS and homeless little children. The
| Post feels that such work as this Is de-
serving OF every encouragement and that
nm appeal to the people for aid should

All those desiring to help this noble
cause are requested to send their contrlbu-
tions TO this office. Let your response b'

the forecast of the reply of the Trans

Government as a whole. Great excite
ment prevails at Pretoria over the com
sequences which may enSue. The
young Beers are asking to be led into
the field Immediately. 1t is impossible
to predict what will be the situation
after the delivery of the reply in Lon
don. The feeling here is that it will
be impossible for the Imperial Gov
eminent, and undignified upon its part
to again enter upon an interchange OF
arguments. The Royal Munster regi-

WAR TALK IN LONDON.

LONDON, Sept. Misrepresentation re-
diately precede and follow hOstilities
with the Transvaal continues to occupy
public attention. 1t appears that nc
declaration of war is necessary. The
process, according to good authority,
would be proclamation by the Brit
ish High Commissioner, Sir Alfred Mil
ner, stating that the convention of
London is annul1ed and that Queen
Victoria has resumed the government
OF the country known as the South
African Republic. The general com
manding the British eXpeditionary
forces would then be instructed to oc-
cupy the Transvaal and hold it until
a fresh government is established.
mission, doubtless representing all
classes of the inhabitants of the Trans
wall, would be appointed to draft new
constitution
That all this is easier said than done
is quite palpable, even to the most en-
thusiastic Englishmen. Estimates Of
the strength of the Beers widely
diverge. Mr.. John Morley referred to
them as able to put an army of 10000
men in the field, while the War Office
officials seem to think that % 900 is
all they could muster.
AS matter of fact, their strength
entirely depends upon the assistance
they receive from the Orange Free
State and the natives. which is i'm
possible to gauge. The present at
mosphere of war has enormously slim
ulated army recruiting. Crowds of
young men surround the offices and
daily large patches take the Queens
shilling.

A serious condition of affairs pre-

advices received by the State Depart
ment. Consul Ellsworth, at Puerta Ca
bello, sends word of a current report
that after battle, General De Castro S
forces occupied Valencia, in the Pro-
vince of Carabobo, driving the Gov
eminent forces out.
Mr.. Russell, Charge d'Affaires at Ca
racas, cables that President Andrade
has gone to the front to assume per-
sonal command of the Government
troops in the field. His dispatch indi-
Gates that a critical condition of af-
fairs existed, and he requests that the
movements of the cruiser Detroit to
La Guayra be expedited, in order that
American citizens might be protected.
The Detroit is now on her way to La

there today. Upon her arrival Com
mander Hemphill will cooperate with
Mr.. Russell to protect American inter

THE AMERICA MARU.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16.-The
Togo Yusen Kaisha or japanese
Steamship line, has received word that
the America Maru has been obliged to
return to Yokohama with her coal
bunkers on fire. The dispatch came
via London today.
The steamer had steamed quite a
distance from port in the belief that
the fire in her bunkerS, which started
a short time before she reached the
port in Japan from Hongkong, had
been eXtinguished.
Some days ago the steamer left
Yokohama after having had hard
time putting out fire that was dis
covered in the bunkers. The agency
here was notified that the fire was un-
der control and that the vessel would
come in few days late.
The America Maru finally got away
and was due at Honolulu tomorrow,
but this morning word was received
that she had been forced to put back,
as the fire had broken out again and
was threatening the destruction of the
vessel

IN WARLIKE MOOD.

LONDON, Sept ia special dis
patch from Pretoria gives what pur-
ports to be a summary of the reply
which is similar to the other forecasts
concluding as follows:
The Transvaal feels at liberty to
depart from the joint inquiry, which
she accepted in the bona fide belief
that it would lead to a final settle
ment.'
\ The correspondent adds:
Both the people and the Executive
Council are firmly convinced that no
finality is>intended and that further
concessions would only postpone the
struggle. The Transvaal regards her.
self as having been tricked into a pro-
pOsal by Mr.. Chamberlain. The Or
ange Free State will certainly stand
by the Transvaal."
