OTIs is again in trouble. This time
II is because OF his refusal to permit
the continuation OF silver as the mon

Probably Otis imagined that contin-

endorsement OF free silver coinage In
this country. Otis has left upon the

London, Oct. 14.-War, so often pre-
dicted in these dispatches as being the
inevitable climax to hopeless things, has
come at last and is now in full swing
for the subjection of the little republic
whose military sun sets and rises at
Majuba hill.
Great Britain has set going machine
ry more powerful than that which
crushed Napoleon and twice as strong
! as that which gave her Egypt and the
soudan. Sir Redvers 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 be
taken for granted. That the result will
probably be for time not too favor
| able to the British Is also to be ad-
mitted. The main question Is how long
are the hostilities to last. The ultimate
English victory is almost assured by
virtue of overwhelming strength.
A forecast of the length and nature
of the campaign should not be ventured
without knowledge of an extraordinary
circumstance communicated to the as
sociated press on most reliable author
AtS, tlipuSh lIllHti " IIOl ia EAHS-
land. namely. that Sir General Redvers
Butler has gone to take entire control
of the South African situation He will
be as absolute as was Wellington and
less hampered than was Kitchener.
Therefore. not only the conduct of the
war lies in his discretion, but also vir-
9ually the future of all South Africa,
and no representations are Of value
without first taking into considerat ton
his personal character for obstinacy
and frankness, traits responsible for the
supremacy he has attained
He Is quoted as having said: Il shall
not be handed down in history as an
other Sir George Colley.'
The reference was. of course, to the
defeat at Majuba hill. He also said
that if he were to go it must be on the
distinct understanding that he could
select his own staff and would be en-
tirely uninterfered with by the war
office.
His request regarding the staff, it is
said, was prompted by his suspicion
that Lord Wolseley would attempt to
pay off old scores by fosting upon him
star officers antagonistic to him. Lord
Lansdowne demurred, but the strong
man prevailed, and Butler. having gain
ed all the points he coveted. accepted
the supreme command. Prior to Lord
l4ansdowne's assent General Butler
freely expressed the opinion that when
he had driven the Beers into a corner
his hand might be stayed by peace

Oakland, Oct 1.-THE boys in blue
owned Oakland for five hours to-day.
The Montana and Kansas regiments
came over from San Francisco nearly
at the ferry by Companies A and F of
the Sth regiment and Company G Of
Alameda. Company A Of the Veteran
Reserves also acted as an escort.
Neither Governor Stanley of Kansas
nor Colonel Metcalf were present, but
General Shafter, accompanied by Major
Gallagher and Captain Green, came
over with General Kessler of Montana
and General Funston of Kansas. The
parade was started at 1926. General
Shafter rode in a carriage at the head
Of the procession with his two aides.
General Funston rode alone with his
wife. The gallant Kansan was greeted
with cheer after cheer as the line
moved down through the crowds OF
Oakland citizens. The carriages of the
two heroes from the Philippines were
bombarded with flowers at frequent in
tervals and the people of Oakland made
the most of this their first chance to
greet the boys in blue. The column pro-
81
an ample feast was spread.
At the conclusion of the mayors
greeting the hungry men sat down to
do justice to the hospitality of the
town. Plates We're laid for over 1000
soldiers and visitors. Several hundred
of Oakland's fairest daughters were or
ganized into corps Of efficient wait
resses and we'll did they keep track of
the wants of the soldier boys. Places
for generals and distinguished visitors
were held at the head of the table and
they more than anyone else enjoyed the
feast After the ables had been amply
punished and the supplies in manner
vanquished, speeches were made by
Generals Smafter and Funstca and
Grand Marshal John Mitchell. All of
the speakers were in the happiest of
mood and the soldiers and assembled
citizens made the old exposition build
ing ring with their applause.
In greeting the city's soldier guests
Mayor r. W. Snow said:

you honor to-day by your presence I
bid you welcome. Oakland Joined with
