San Francisco, Oct. 17.-Captain w.
j. Watson of the Twentieth has not yet
decided to accept the lieutenancy in the
new volunteer service, lately offered

him to give up the army-but this is a
military secret.
The army surgeons have had Captain
Watson under the X-ray several times,
but have not yet been able to locate the
bullet which he carries with him. The
wound, however, no longer troubles
him.
Captain Adna G. Clark, who is here
with crippled arm, has regaiHed his
health. Mrs. Clark and the baby are

with the regiment.
Lieutenant Collin Ball has recovered
from his injury, and has been assigned
to duty at the Presidio.

Returning n Favor.

London, Oct. 1.-THE colonial office
announces officially that Mr.. MacCrum
the United States consul in Pretoria
with the consent of his government
has taken charge of British interests
in the Transvaal. The afternoon pa
pers express great satisfaction that the
American government has undertaken
to protect British interests in the
Transyaal. They say that the Ameri-
cans are certain to show the same tact
and devotion in discharging the re-
sponsibility which aroused the enthu-
siasm of ''our kin beyond the sea, u
when the British undertook similar
ask in their behalf.

ARMY THIRTY TIMES larger
Is the British Army for South Africa
Than in Previous War.
DUTCH POWER SWEPT OUT.

London. Oct. 17.@Gen. Sir Rcdvers
Butler has gone. and already the Boer
bullets have sung a song of desperate
defiance.
That the next few weeks will be
marked by sharp fighting can almost b.
taken for granted. That the result
will probably be for time not too ia
vorable to the British is also to be adj
mitted. The main question is, how
long are hostilities to last? The ulti-
mate English victory is almost assured
by virtue of overwhelming strength.
General Butler has campaigned over
the whole present battle ground, and
is, above all, soldier from head to
foot. AS soon as he reaches South At
RIGA he will inaugurate such campaign
of aggressiveness as the world has sell
dom seen, but which he believes justi-
fable by virtue of his own superior
force.
The sternest measures will not be
too stern for him. and until the last
vestige of Dutch power. whether in the
Transvaal, the Orange Free State or
Cape Colony, is swept out, he will not
stay his hand.
The idea is well illustrated by Sir
John Tenniel's cartoon in this weeks
Punch, representing John Bull saying:
"As you will fight. you shall have it
this time. 1t is fight to the finish"
1t should be remembered that in the
war with the Beers in 1861 the entire
British force amounted to less than g.
300 men, while the Beers had nearly
$1,000. Two months ago when General
Butler was offered command of the
then projected army corps for the ap-
preaching war in South Africa he gave
p point blank refusal unless the war Of
fee would guarantee him between Co..
900 and 10000 men.

Strictest Neutrality.

Berlin, Oct. ia high German Off
cial, whose utterances may be taken as
absolutely conclusive, said to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press.
eve shall observe the strictest neu-
trality,. no matter what may develop in
the war between the Boer republic and
Great Britain. That is the only course
left open, as conditions in South Africa
are SO complicated and our relations
with both sides are SO delicate that to
abandon neutrality by SO much as a
hairs breadth necessarily would lead
+onew and unforeseen complications.

No Odd Fellows. Home Yet.

: Wichita, Oct. l3.-The question Of an
Odd Fellows home came up in the shape
of resolution to postpone the purchase
of home until such time as the grand
lodge had money in its treasury for
that purpose. 1t also provided for a
per capita tax to be levied for that pur-
pose. After considerable discussion the
resolution was adopted.
The committee appointed three years
ago to visit the different sites offered
for home. and report its recommends
lions to the grand lodge, was then dis
charged from further service, the grand
lodge by its action thus indefinitely
9ostponing the purchase of a home.

War to End by Next April.

San Francisco, Oct. 17.-General Fun
ston, in his speech at reception in Oak
land, said of the war:
''We hear much talk about misman-
agement in the Philippines, and those
who are doing the talking know the
least about it. 1 want to tell you to-
day that our army there is better cloth
ed, better fed and better cared for than
any army that ever fought in any coun-
try and under any flag. The war being
waged in the Philippines cannot be ex-
pected to end in few weeks or months,
but believe it will end before the first
day of April, 1900"

FRUIT AND FLOWERS.
Incidents Of the Homo Coming of the
Kansas Boys.

Kansas Boys.
San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE last
mail the Kansas troops received before
arriving here left home about July 1.
As result the accumulation OF mail
in San Francisco for the regiment was
enormous. A boat load of it went
abroad the Tartar. The soldiers were
in ignorance of affairs at home, and
the mail was a welcome visitor.
The citizens committee sent aboard
hundred cases of fruit, which the sol.
diers made short work of. The ladies
of the Kansas delegation pinned a
large sunfower badge on the breast o!
every soldier.
The regimental colors, little the
worse for wear, in spite of the arduou,
campaign through which they passed
called forth tremendous burst oe ap
plause whenever they were sighted.
While the soldiers waited for the or
der to march the ladies of the citizens
committee went among them and
placed large bouquet in the muzzle OF
every rifle. General Funston reported
by wire to the War department for or.
ders and said he should keep his Laind
free from all care till he hears from
Washington.
The soldiers are delighted with the
arrangement for their transportation
home and the reception at Topeka.
They crowded around the correspond
cnt when they heard about it and ask
ed for details.

While at Hong Kong,

San Francisco. Oct. 17.-Speakins
particularly of the Twentieth Kansas,
General Funston said: ''Now l want
to tell you when was proudest of the
Twentieth Kansas, my old regiment.
It was at Hong Kong on the way home.
Fully 500 men of the command were
ashore there for seven days. The place
was full of saloons and the soldiers
pockets were full of money, but in all
that time, there was not one of those
men drunk or disorderly. I have no
doubt that other of our American SOL
diers made as good record. Of course
there was drinking, but they knew
where to STOP"

sessions has been wantonly and g-atui-
tously imperilled by the rash policy OF
the Boer government.
ga great change has taken place in
the past three months in the opinion Of
this country regarding our South Afri-
can policy. There was not then the
clear conviction which now exists re-
specting the true merits of the case
which is now to be decided by the arbi-
tratement of force, but the more the
public has known of what the govern
ment has done and what they aimed at,
the more they have come around to the
view that the government, if they have
erred at all, have erred on the side of
patience.
''Now that the prospects of peace art
finally destroyed, now that war with
all its consequences, all its loss of life,
all its destruction of property, all its
suffering, is on us, we can say we never
asked anything but justice, never desir-
ed anything but freedom, all we longed
for was equality under the Transvaal
republic toward men of our race and
speech, which we freely give to men of
the Dutch race and speech in the neigh
boring colonies, and if they think it
worth while to imperil their future in
order to refuse these rights, at all
events the blame rests on them and not
on u.s."
