brother of the Filipino leader, recently
stole $4,000 from the insurgent treas

took the money from under his pillow,

found guilty of treason.

FOUR KILLED ON CROSSING.
Wagon Containing Father and Three
Daughters Struck by Train.

Philadelphia, Oct. 14.-An accident
at Riverside, near Burlington, N. j.,
resulted In the killing of Fred George
and his three daughters, aged 4, 6 and
8 years. George, who runs a truck
wagon, was giving his three children
a ride when, in attempting to cross the
railroad track on the Amboy division
Of the Pennsylvania road, passenger
train struck the wagon.
Two of the children were caught on
the engine pilot, and the third was
thrown considerable distance on the
side of the road. Georges body was
thrown on the opposite track, where
he was struck by a passing freight,
and his body cut in twain. Mrs.
George is crazed with grief at the
loss, she having but one child left, a
boy, who begged to go on the fatal
ride, but was denied the privilege.

pass is at hand. 1t leaves no further
room for doubt that acts of war have
already been committed and that the
campaign has begun. News of an in
vasion on the northern border is also
probable, and, therefore, a clash be-
tween the forces of Briton and Boer
cannot long be delayed, If, indeed, 1t
has not occurred already.
situation on the Frontier.
This mornings dispatches furnish
ample details of the situation on the
frontier and enable a clearer EXPOSE
tion of the military status. 1t now
seems that the Beers intend to act in
two columns, those from the Transvaal
working from the north and those
from the Orange Free State working
from the west, with the object of keep
ing the British forces at Ladysmith
and Dundee occupied, while parties of
Beers slip past to destroy the bridges
along the railway forming the line of
communication between the British at
Durham, Natal, the advanced base at
Pietermaritzburg and the front.
1t is regarded as possible that the
Beers will attempt to occupy Estcourt,
where there are only 100 men of the
naval brigade, and the news that the
Beers are raiding Zululand in the
neighborhood of Estcourt is taken as a
confirmation Of this possibility.
Natal Train Seized.
Dispatches from Durham, Natal, con-
arm the report that the Orange Free
State authorities seized the Natal
train that was leaving Ladysmith for
Harrismith. They also stopped train
due to leave Harrismith in the after
noon. All the rolling stock has been
ordered down the country out of reach
OF seizure.
1t is understood that telegraphic
communication with the Transvaal
ceased punctually at 5 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon (Transvaal
firT9l. A dispatch from Durham says:
''The imperial reserves In Natal have
been called out. Everybody has left
Charlestown, the last train bringing
away the railway staff to Newcastle,
while the exodus from Newcastle also
continues. The Fifth dragons have
arrived from India, landed Immediate
ly, and at once proceeded for the

Burghers Enter Cape Colony.
The Free State burgers, according
to a. private message just received in
the city of London, have crossed the
Orange river into Cape Colony and
have occupied Philippstown. Their
object, 1t is supposed, is to cut the
railway at De Aar Junction, which is
considered an important strategic
point.
According to dispatch from Cape
Town 1t is asserted there that the
Beers have arranged with Chief Inch
We, prominent chief on the north
western border. to take up arms
against Great Britain.

Will Perform the Duty
CONDITION OF THE ARMY.
Very Satisfactory Under the Circum.
stances Men Left are
Overworked.

Colonel Frank d. Baldwin, inspector
general, U. $. army, for the department
Of Missouri and Colorado, arrived in
the city today and is stopping at the
Kenyon hotel To a representative OF
this newspaper today Col Baldwin
said his visit here was necessltated by
his duties as inspector general, and that
he would begin the inspection OF Fort
Douglas on Monday, continuing the
same through the week, and that he
expected to complete his duties here
by the end OF next week.
Il find" said the colonel, that the
army is far below its efficiency Of two
years ago. before the commencement OF
the Spanish war. At that time the
United States army was one Of the fin
est In the world. This deterioration In
efficiency is not. however, due to any
lack OF enthusiasm or natural ability on
the part Of our officers and soldiers, but
Is caused by overwork Of both. Here at
Fort Douglass, as you know, where
there should be full regiment OF men
you have single company only. All
the posts througout the country are
proportionately manned, numerically
speaking, and II Is impossible for so
few men TO keep their posts in order
and al the same time continue the drill
work prerequisite 10 thorough and per-
feet efficiency.
Most of our posts are commanded by
young officers who are enthusiastic In
their duty and who would keep up the
old degree OF efficiency provided the
posts We're sufficiently garrisoned.'
In the event that the United States
government decides TO retain the ISL
ands, now under its care as a result OF
the Spanish war, will that necessitate
an increase in the army?' was asked.
