WHAT nR1TONs MIST EXPECT,

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-The Deutsche
Zeitung publishes q letter purporting
to come from General Joubert and
dated at L~adysmith, October 81, in
which the writer says:
even if we do not succeed in pre-
venting the concentration Of General
Buffers troops, the British army will
be weakened from natural causes to
such an extent that not more than
5000 effective troops, or 10000 at the
outside, can take the field. The others
must be employed to protect COM
munications. 1t is to be borne in
mind that not only Natal. but Cape
Colony, with a base Of operations COW
ering 435 miles, must be considered.
"Our bases OF supplies are at home
and organized on the relay system in
three directions. To protect these does
not require 100 Ter If n base
should be seriously threatened, the
supplies will be destroyed. A waf Of
defense, of which we need not think Of
for a considerable time, would present
greater advantages than an offensive
war. We are at home in the highlands
of the Transvasl and the Orange Free
State. The British will have to contest
every step under great difficulties, and
must be prepared at every moment to
fight on two or three fronts.
"Then will begin a guerrilla war
which the British will not be able to
endure. Already we have so, 900 men
in the field, so we do not need to cal
culate upon a rising of the Beers in
Cape Colony and Natal. Nevertheless,
if the British stir up the natives and
employ them to fight us. a rising OF
the whole OF Afrikanderdom is
certain"

THE EAST.

The collapse of the Franklin syndi-
cate in New York disclosed the fact
that the receivers of gold bricks are
not confined to the woolly west. How
people could be deceived by an offer
so bold as the tender of the Franklin
swindle passes comprehension.
Under q promise of dividends of ten
per cent weekly hundreds of people
rushed in with their savings until the
swindlers gathered in from thirty to
forty thousand dollars q day. 1t was
easy enough to pay ten per cent a
week rs long as the deposits flowed
in, and ii is said the thieves gathered
in 81 .000, 900 before the Grand Jury
put a quietus on the game. But
sympathy should not be wasted on
the lamenting fools who are crying
out against Franklin and his associ-
ates. There is little use in plying
persons so void Of common intelli-
gence. The veriest hayseed ever in
weighed in the Bowery could not have
exhibited more stupidity than these
people to the manor born.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-The War Office
has received the following dispatch
from General Butler:
"Capetown. November 2s.--General
Methuen reports from Modder river,
November %, that he reconnoitered at
5 A. NJ. the enemy's position on Mod
der river and found them strongly en-
trenched and concealed. No means oil
outAanking, the river being full. Ac-
ton commenced with artillery, mount
ed infantry and cavalry at 5 80, Guards
on right and the Ninth Brigade on
left, who attacked the position In
widely extended formation at 80, and
supported by the artillery, found it
self in front Of the whole Boer force,
s 1000 strong, with two large guns, four
Krupps, etc.
"The Naval Brigade rendered great
assistance from the railway.
"After desperate, hard fighting.
which lasted ten hours, our men,
without food or water, and in the
burning sun, made the enemy quit
their position.
General Pole-C arew was success
ful in getting a small party across the
river, calamity assisted by 300 Sappers.
al speak in terms Of high praise of
the conduct of all who we're engaged
in n of the hardest and most trying
fights in the annals of the British
army. II / can mention one arm par
ticularly. it is the two batteries Of ar
tillery."
LONDON, Nov. 29.-The expected
great battle a. Modder river has been
fought, and General Methuen has
added another victory to his achieve
ments of the past week. That the
Beers defended their position withtheir
old time gallantry is amply proved by
General Methuen's dispatch, and il
will probably be further testified tc
when the list OF British casualties il
made known. There appears to be nc
doubt that General Methuen hat
gained a real advantage.
This success OF the British clears an
other stage of the road to Kimberley
the siege of which General Cronj'
must have partially raised in order t.
give battle TO General Methuen.
A special dispatch from WindsoI
says that General Methuen's dispatch
to the Queen after the battle of Mod
der river says:
"The battle was the bloodiest OF the
century. The British shelled the en-
envy out of the trenches, and ther
charged. The result was terrible"

The United States has declined to
accept the agreement as to the dispo-
sition of the Samoan Islands reached
by Great Britain and Germany. As a
matter OF fact there is nc hitch and
the reasons which influenced the State
Department there in rejecting the Brit
ish.G German arrangement when it was
submitted for approval related entirely
to minor matters. Our government
has in turn and at the instance of the
other parties prepared and submitted
a draft Of a treaty which it is hoped
will be acceptable to all three powers.

when thousands Of Americans, En-
glishmen, Germans, French and
other foreigners marched to the resi-
dence Of President Diaz to urge him
to accept a nomination from the
Liberal party for the Office which he
now holds. The Mexican population,
so far from ~resenting the demonstra-

indeed, a deserved tribute to an able,
honest and progressive official, a
mau who has dope more for the adj
vancement of his people than all
