Beers WILL FIGHT.
Admiral HoWison Says War with
England will Result in
Subtraction

New York. Aug ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: In re-
port received at the navy department
from Rear Admiral Howison that officer
speaks of the tension existing between
the Transvaal and Great Britain. He in
dicateS that war may be DreciDitated by
the hot-headedness of the Beers. Ii
would not be surprising in the event OF
war if the British government requested
the United States to take care of its in
terests in the Transvaal and ship from
the South Atlantic station will undoubt-
cdly be sent to Delagoa bay to safeguard
American interests.
According to Rear Admiral Howison
there can be only one result of Il war be
tween Great Britain and the South At
rican republic-the absorption of the lat
ter country. The Beers are determined
however, to fight for their independence
1t is apparent from reading the admirals
report that he believes the Beers have
put themselves in as good Il condition OF
readiness as possible, but it is evident
he sees but one outcome to war-theiI
subjugation.
