YALE'S ANCESTRAL HOME.
The Old Chapel at Bryn Eslwys
Wales, Ii Named After
"St. Rlihu.U

To one spot in North Wales many an
American pilgrim wends his way. This
is Wrexham, in whose beautiful church
lie the bones of Eihu Yale, who gave
both name and benefactions to our hon
ored university. On his tombstone are
cut these concise lines:
Born In America; in Europe bred,
In Africa travelled and in India wed, :
Where he lived and thrived; at London
dead.
1t is from this region, says the
New York Tribune, that Elihu Yale's
Pilgrim progenitor went forth to
New England, and Yales still live at
Plasyn-Yale and worship in the tran
sept known as the Yale chapel in the
ancient little church of Bryn Eglwys,
near Wrexham.
In the body of the church small con-
gregation of hill farmers, as their IA
theirs before them have done for centu-
rles, worship in the vernacular, and I
have often thought what amazement
and what strange emotions would stir

Country's Wrongs.

The Rev. DR.. P. G. ]. Mellring. pastor
OF a Dutch Reformed Church in Johap-
nesburS. South Africa, and an init
mate friend OF President KRUGER. spoke
last night at the Park Reformed Church
in Jersey City on THE Present Difficulty Be-
tween England and the Transvaa" He said
in part:
We have been grossly misrspresented
throughout the world. doubtless much
OF this being due to ignorance We
are not Beers. as we are called. Beers
being simply farmers. but are Airicanders-
descendants OF the early Dutch settlers who
driven from the land OF their nativity. landed
on the most southerly part OF Africa in 1852
and OF the Huguenots who were driven out OF
France and also found home in South Africa.
Therefore, the Africanders are a mixture Of
French and Dutch"
DR., MelIrinE then related the history OF the
settlement OF South Africa and the trouble Of
the Beers with England. and continued:
There are in the Transvaal two political
parties. the Conservative. OF which Presi-
dent KRUGER is the leader. and the
Progressive. led by Gen. Joubert Tho
latter wants the franchise qualiaca-
ton so modified to admit the foreign element.
and this party carried the day. 1t has been
said that the officials are all Dutch.
but the names Hancock. Quinn. Watkins
and LoveIoy prove that the charge Is
false Among the false statements being
made Is one that tho Outlanders who
have no vote are not allowed to ssnd their
children to any but Dutch schools. The law Of
1895 provides for English schools open to all.
tits also said that the Outlanders pay so per
cent OF the tax. The only taxes are poll tax
OF 50 and a tax on all importations equal to the
customs duties OF this country
II England persists in her unholy warfare.

peace or raise up for them friends that will

GEN. BROOKE,S REPORT.
Conduct of Our Soldiers in Cuba-Little
Yellow fever Among the Troopa.

WASHINGTON. Oct 6.-The annual report OF
Major Gen John Il. Brooke. commanding the
division Of Cuba. has been received at the War
Department He says:
The conduct OF our troops in Cuba. among
a people not speaking our language and with
habits totally dissimilar to those OF the Ameri-
can soldiers. has been generally good. sustain
ing the reputation OF their native country.
They have chesr!uly borne the restrictions
necessarily imposed upon them since
tho advent OF the sickly season. and,
with the exception OF Santiago and
Puerto Principe. there have been but sporadic
cases OF yellow fever. In some it is traceable
to the indiscretion OF the soldier attacked, and
in others. whore the men were exemplary in
their habits. its source has been a mystery.
Thus far. with the exception OF tho cases at tho
two points mentioned. we can say there has
been practically. no yellow fever among the
troops.
Il desire to call particular attention to the
enormous amount OF work done by the staff
officers in Cuba. which has been successfully
performed In all cases. SO far as am informed.
In fact, the military part OF our duty In Cuba is
comparatively but little trouble. it being per-
formed by professional officers well vsrsed in
their duties. and there has been very little in
fraction Of discipline.
1T 10 the civil part OF our duties. such as san-
tation, which covers wide field. and the SUI
pervision and management OF civil affairs.
which covers a still wider field. that has been
difficult and caused great labor. This. how
ever, will be treated in special report on civil
affairs.
TT seems scarcely necessary. after the ex-
periences OF the past eighteen months. to urge
the necessity OF a reorganization OF our army
The matter OF army organization has been
urged for many years without effect. What
could have been accomplished with a well or
Ranizsd army OF 100000 mon was sxompliled
by the battles around Santiago in juno and
July. 1898
Il desire to express my appreciation OF the
able assistance rendered me by the several de-
partment commanders. and particularly by my
staff officers. in the transaction OF the military
portion OF our duties in the division Of Cuba"
