Drifting Towards War.

The drift of affairs this week has
been strongly in the direction of war,
although no one in authority is yet will
ing to admit that the last word has
been said in favor of peace. Military
experts complain that the ministers
have been too optimistic, and that Kru-
ger now has chance of striking Natal
before the British garrison is prepared
to defend the frontier adequately.

DRIFT OF AFFAIRS SEEMS TOWARD WAR
Rumor That Great Britain Is to OBJ

from Portugal Cecil Rhodes
Makes Sensational Remarks Before
the Assembly at Cape Town.

New York, Sept. pa dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: No
retreat, nc provocation, but more troops
to the front. That is brief summary
of the last cabinet meeting. The con-
tinuance of negotiations with the
Transvaal on former lines is not con-
sdered desirable, and fresh start will
be made as soon as the ministers have
leisure for a deliberate review of the
whole situation. Meanwhile the military
forces in South Africa will be increased
by ten or twenty thousand men; the
Transvaal government will be cour-
teously informed that the ministers re-
quire time for reconsidering the sub
ject of England's relations with the
Dutch republic, and the door will not
be closed against pacific diplomacy if
President Kruger wishes to make fresh
overtures. The ministers are deter
mined not to provoke a declaration of
war, especially when they are not in
readiness for hostilities, but they will
not modify the terms of the last COM
munication sent out by Mr.. Chamber
lain.
The great stir of military preparation
prevailing at army headquarters be-
tokens the dispatch of large Reinforce
nents to the Cape and Natal. The pro-
longed conference between Mr.. Balfour
and Lord Rothschild indicates that the
spending departments are short of
money, and that parliament may be
summoned in October, unless tempo
rary arrangements can be made with
the great financiers for bridging over
tho crisis

MANY DOCTORS FOR ONE SMALL BoY.

OF Them Was Sure He'd Been Poisoned.

Dr. Tobias Jurim. OF 112 Eldrldge street, re-
ported at tho Coroner's ONCE yesterday that
Charles MarRolias, O years old. OF 101 Forsythe
street had died. probably Of strychnine poison
ing and asked Coroner Fitzpatrick to investi-
gate the case. DIR. Jurim said that three other
physicians had been called In to attend the boy
In his last illness and one OF them had made
a mistake. or mistake had been made by
druggist in com poundinR prescription.
Four Eastside doctors and two druRRists be-
ing concerned in the case, Coroner Fitzpatrick
ordered his physician. DR.. Donlin. to look 1t up
at once. The doctor wen over to the Eldridge
street police station and had half dozen detec-
tives put at work or the case. They learned
that when the boy became Ill on Monday after
noon. DIR. J. NJ Chassis. OF 122 Rlvington
street was called in. The boys condition did
not improve under him so DIR. Arthur Camnit-
yer. of 33 Rivineton street was sent for He

night the boy became unconscious. and DR..
Jurm was summoned. He thought tho boy
was suffering from poison. Dr. Chassis returned
yesterday morning and said that the boy was
suffering from spinal meningitis. soon after
ward the boy died. Then DR.. Jurim decided
that IL was his duty to report the case to the
corner.
Two druggists had made up the medicines
the boy had taken and the detectives went to
them and seized prescriptions and all the med
icine the boys father had not taken to the cor
oner. In the meantime DR.. Donlin had gone
to see the body. He made a superficial exam
ination and then wrote q certificate setting
forth that death was due to spinal meningitis
To-day the boy will be buried. but the inves-
tigaton OF the case will be continued for the
purpose OF satisfying the six physicians and
druggists.

broken as easily as he could thread. But he didn't
break it, he stood there; the Irvine TO all appear
