SKETCH OF MArEKING.
The Town Now Being Defended By
Col. Baden-Powell.

1t is reported that the first attack of
the Beers is to be made upon the COM
paratively defenseless town of Mafe-
king, in that part of Cape Colony for
merly known as British Bechuanaland-
1t is not perhaps altogether fair to call
Mafeking defensel5sS. for during the
past few weeks of tension We have
heard that the place has been more or
less protected by sandbags and hastily
| thrown-up earthworks- But Mafeking
lies entirely in the open. bare on the
veldt, which is as fiat as a pancake. A
few isolated kopjes. an ant heap every
here and there. clump of bushes IN
der three feet high-these are the only
things that break the monotony of the
landscape. The veldt runs right away
to the far distant sky line. and only a
few scattered tin shanties mark the
line Of railway.

Mafeking practically half way between
the two. To be exact, 1t is $40 miles
from the former and S03 miles from
the latter. Kimberley is IA miles
south. This railway. by the way, is
the main Cape to Cairo route. and will
one day carry the unavoidable globe
trotter right through Africa from end
to end.
There is nothing palatial about Mafe-
king. Normally IL is a simple little
township of a few hundred souls. Pri-
marily it is trading station with the
far north. and there are many stores
of greater or less Importance. Grain
stores. forage stores. timed goods, sad
dies. rifles. ammunition even furniture,
can, or could, be bought there. In the
center of the main street is the market
place. surrounded by galvanized iron
houses and stores. each with its little
raised veranda before it. painted green
and white, and many of the more mis-
cellaneous shops bearing weird Indian
names. For the enterprising Moham-
medan trader has found his way
throughout South Africa, and completes
very keenly and successfully with the
white men.
The main street of Mafeking is a
long, wide and struggling thoroughfare.

utive oaks at intervals. The houses all

What He Has Done.
He has rendered the country vast
service in championing the rights of
western territories and securing their
admission into the United States as
equal, independent states; he was
chiefly influential in revising the PEN
sion laws and in protecting the west
ern farmers from the rapacity of the
twine monopoly; his speeches at the
time of the Chicago riots, and more re-
Gently in defense and affirmance of the
Monroe doctrine. are history, and his
exposure of the fallacies in the arbitra-
ton treaty between Great Britain and
the United States, which led to its re-
lection. was a lesson in International
diplomacy.
Many hold that not since the
days of Webster has a statesman made
SO clear, so terse, so forcefui an appli-
cation of International law as Senator
Davis made in his report upon the
cause of the destruction of the Maine.
A week of vehement debate followed,
resulting in the final adoption of the
resolutions requiring Spain TO evacuate
Cuba, and directing the president to
ENFORCE the requirement with the entire
naval and military power of the United
States. This was followed by the formal
demand to the Spanish government for
the immediate REIMBURSEMENT of au-
thority and government in the island
of Cuba and withdrawal of its land
and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters

His Probable Policy.


legislation, he answered with deep
conviction: Congress will be con-
ciliatory, although in Cuba our occupa-
ton Will, Of course, be military. Very
little legislation will be required or
even justifiable. Porto Rico is an old
and finished community, with a social
system of its own. This will require
some notifications and adjustments.
but the colony will continue under the
present system with as little interior
ence as possible. AS to the Philippines,
America can certainly do what Great
Britain and Holland have done with
the same race of people, dwelling in
the same part of the world. and, lin my
opinion, can do it better. Great Britain
found in the Straits settlement forty
years ago the same class of people that
we are dealing with in the Philippines
The Straits settlements are in the same
geographical group as the Philippines.
THESE people were barbarouS and -pirat-
zeal forty years ago. They have been
changed into one of the most orderly
and prosperous peoples on the face of
the gfobe-communities which largely
govern themselves. i have no doubt
that the same results can be brought
about in the Philippines. That congress
will follow Great Britain's example in
regard to these islands is my own and
the general conviction of all people who
have thought upon the subject 1 be-
lleve that in year from today things
viii be in composed condition in the
Philippines, and from my study of the
Filipino nature / believethat the rebel
lion once ended, all likelihood of
further revolt will be removed forever
With government once firmly estab-
liShed, we should follow the British ex-
ample in the Malay dependency by
giving a large proportion of the re-
spons.ble positions to trustworthy
natives. The Filipinos possess many
qualities of self-government. if guided
by steadying hand.
Il do not believe there will be any
more serious revolutions in San Do
mingo, and in case revolution should
break out there 1 should not advise
any interference from the United States
unless our interests were seriously i'm
paired. The Monroe doctrine has been
more firmly established by the events
of the last two years.

ton of books in his house are seventy

One of the most important features
of an opera company. after a selection
of the principals. is the chorus. Most
companies neglect this feature. but not
so with the Lyrics. for this company
employs the best and strongest-voiced
chorus OF any opera company on the
road.
The Boston Lyric chorus has been
styled "A Beauty Show" because IL
contains so many pretty faces and fine
figures. Each lady has a finely Gull
tured voice. Indeed. so thoroughly are
they up in music that with but an
hours notice any one of them could go
on for any female role in the opera .
Surely this is a great chorus for any
opera company to- possess. rs prima
donnas have a reputation for fickleness
quite in keeping with their record.

The inquiries from outside sources regard
ing accommodations for the national recep-
ton to Admiral Dewey are increasing every
day. The hotels. one and all, are receiving
requests for the reservation of rooms, while
the boarding houses and private families
are equally the recipients of such communi-
cations. These indications are such as to
assure great crowd on Dewey day. and
the ensuing week or two win probably show
a greater interest on the part of the public
at large in the occasion.

Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen has
addressed letter to the Dewey reception
committee in New York, telling them that
the department found it inexpedent to grant
the request to have the old frigate Consti-
tuition take part in the naval parade. The
letter states that the ship is regarded as
too valuable a relic to be subjected to the
risk of sea and fog attending a trip from
Boston to New York.

DlPHTHERIA INCREASING.
Seventy Cases in District as Shown
by Records.

At the hour of closing Saturday the rec
ords OF the health department showed that
there were seventy cases of diptheria in
the District, thirty-seven houses containing
the various cases. While an increase in
the number of cases of diphtheria is expect
Ell every fall, such a number as was re-
ported Saturday is something unusual and
much earlier than the general rule mere
The week previous there were, but fo1ty-
two cases in thirty houses so the increase
during the past week was nearly loo per
cent the increase in the number of in
fected houses, however, failed to show such
a high percentage. The fact is there. ara
dence. the health department officials think
of lack of care in isolating the first case.
Srassking of the matter today Dr. Vim
c. Woodward, the health officer stated ,,;at
there Is no reasonable way of accounting
f)r the great increase in the numl,cr If
cases, nor any explanation of the presence
OF SO many cases of the disease 30 early in
the season. unless people have failed D lis

said DIR. Woodward. should be regarded a.

of Il physician should be at once sought
TIE great majority of the cases here now
are in Georgetown and in the southwest
and southeast sections of the city, and in
those sections nearest the river front it
would appear from a map in the health
department., showing the location of the
Infected houses.
