of a gentleman supposed to have means,
but not large wealth Carter's pay as
captain amounted TO 1852 a month and
his living expenses began to increase very
rapidly, running in a few years from S6.-

Cleavage OF Underlying Rock.
The startling fact has become evident
that for several weeks a large portion Of
the city Of Butte, Mont, has been sliding
downhill. The evidence Of it is seen on
a number of large buildings and resi-

that the buildings damaged are located on
a seam of rock or earth along which

The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1899-10-19

to raid Natal three weeks ago. Then
they might have swept through the col
Ony without much opposition. Now the
British forces have been greatly strength
ened by the arrival of troops from India,
and the task of reducing fortified towns,
defended by experienced soldiers, is GER
tain to prove tedious if not impossible.
As long as the British remain on the
defensive, as seems to be their policy, the
Beers may occupy the famous Laing's
Mex, wipe out the 100 men of the naval
brigade at Estcourt, destroy bridges and
damage railroads, as reported by cable,
but their object, the conquest of South
Africa, will be as far away as ever. On
the other hand, if the British troops at
present in the colonies of South Africa
hold their own until the army corps from
England reach the cape the prospect Of
an ultimate Boer victory is very doubt
full. Real danger threatens British Be
chuanaland. where, in Mafeking, Col.
BadenPOwell, with a slender command,
is awaiting probable extinction at the
hands of Commander Cronje and his
1000 burghers. Such a move would
strengthen the Beers cause, secure ma
tive allies and perhaps induce Dutch
revolt in Cape Colony. ALI this may be
accomplished, and yet the real campaign
awaits the arrival of the $4,000 British
soldiers under the leadership of strateg-
fcal masters, whose wits and numbers
are supposed to be match for the ma
tive craft and courage of the warlike
Boer.
Sympathy is largely with the Beers,
and the nations of Europe are loud in
their denunciations Of Great Britain, but
academical expressions Of good will add
nathing to- the Transvaal chance of sue
cess.
United States Notifei.
The State Department at Washington
was notified ON Friday of the withdrawal
from Pretoria of Conyngham Greene, the
British diplomatic agent to the South At
rican Republic, and the existence of
state of war between Great Britain and
that republic. Mr. Macrum, the Ameri-
can consul at Pretoria, has accordingly
been instructed to undertake the care of
the British interests in that section dur
ipg the war. The notification came to the
State Department in the shape of note
from Mr.. Tower, the charge of the Brit
ish embassy there. The details of the
transfer of British interests in case Of
war had been previously arranged, so
that all that was necessary was the dis
patch of brief cablegram to Mr.. Mac
rum ut Pretoria.
There is no present intention at the
State Department to issue proclama-
tion of neptrality. 1t has come to be
the custom TO omit these DrOclamatiOnS
until some emergency arises calling for
their issue, and such an emergency is
not expected to occur in South Africa.

boat line that II is the plan OF the company to
continue tho double service OF steamers be-

railroad running between New York and Prov
idence. and the announcement to-day 10 taken
az an indication that tho New Haven
Steamboat Company is not to give UP the
fight during the winter. The small amount OF
business in the winter has not warranted the
running OF the steamers and the big boats
such as the Pilgrim. Puritan. Plymouth
and Priscilla have been taken out OF the SER
vice and laid up until spring. Already the New
Haven road has withdrawn boats from the
Sound passenger fleet. tho first to be taken OF
being the Plymouth which is now at Newport
The Pilgrim is still on the line but may be
hauled of next week.
Those who pretend to- know something
about the situation say. that the consolidated
road will not allow the New Haven line to take
care OF the freight during the winter and that
either the Rhode Island or the Connecticut. or
even both boats may be run on the Sound SER
vice throughout the winter in opposition to the
New Haven line steamers.
