Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-The Journals 8
! Washington correspondent says: The
South Atlantic squadron has been ordered
or soon Will be ordered-to the scene of
the South African hostilities. Secretary
Long so declared tonight 1t is the sec
ond great development from this coun-
try's standpoint in the European crisis,
and, strangely enough, follows yester-
days notification by Great Britain of
! Germany's proposition for a partition Of
the Samoan group.
The attitude Of this country, one Of hos
tility to the German proposition and Ger
man pretensions as to Samoa, cannot fail
to be regarded as of the greatest signifi-
canoe. The European concert, evidently
desirous of getting practical Illustration
of this country's attitude, is credited
with having impelled Germany to make
the first test. The result is that the
United States has demonstrated her
friendllness to Great Britain, thus veri-
flying the prediction that the United

Secretary Long was found at his apart
ments in the Portland.
Yes" said Secretary Long. in response
TO question, Rear Admiral Schley will
be ordered to East African waters The
squadron will be increased to whatever
extent the situation demands. l do not
THINK, as at present ADVISED, tnat q larger
squadron than the Chicago, the Montgom-
cry and the Wilmington IS necessary, but,
as 1 have said, there may be contingen-
cies which would make it advisable to
largely add to these vessels
Secretary Long denied that Rear Ad-
miral Schey had made request for
larger squadron. But" said he, II pre-
sumo any commanding officer going to
the East African coast at this time would
prefer to have a representative squadron" ;"
1t is the understanding that If any of
the larger ships be sent it will be the
Texas With the Chicago, the Mont
gomery, the Wilmington and the Texas,
four or five of the smaller cruisers would
constitute representative squadron. The
feeling at the Navy Department that it
would be we'll to have large American
squadron cruising off East Africa is a
growth of the last few days. 1t is un-
doubtedly based on the news obtained in
Washington and from Europe; that con-
tingencies may arise in the process of war
in the Transvaal which would make the
presence Of a larger body of sailors and
marines a necessity in that neigHborhood

Marconi being on the flagship New York,
while one of his assistants will work on
the battleship. Messages will be ex-
changed While the Massachusetts is on
her way to the lightship for the purpose
of aScertaining to what extent II any
messages are liable to be Influenced by
atmospheric disturbances and other con-
ditions that exist in the vicinity of a
large city like New York. The New York

West Thirty fourth street two hours later
than the Massachusetts and will follow
her to the lightship, where the trials will

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-Mrs. Leland
Stanford of California is at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in the best of health and
spirits, having recently arrived from Eu
rope, where she passed several months
She will remain here a week longer and
then go directly to California where she
will pass the winter. Speaking of the
great Stanford University, the completion
of which absorbs her entire time and at
tention, Mrs. Stanford said:
Before | left California I told my
architect to consult with DR.. Jordan. the
further buildings he needed. and they will
be devoted to chemistry and art. The
plans are now awaiting my approval.
I'm the library, which has room for 2o0.-

The university now has 400 students
500 girls and 900 boys. l have limited the
number of girls who can attend to 500. as
there was such an influx of them that
they outnumbered the boys and threa t
ened to destroy the identity of the uni
versity as a masculine seat of learning
which it should be, since it is in com
memoration of my son.
''In all that I have done since my hus-
bands death | have closely adhered to

and | am more than thankful that time
has been given me to finish this work"

TRANSVAAL AGENTS ARE
ENLISTING AMERICANS

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 29.-The Times to-
morrow viii say: 1t has been learned
here that agents of the Transvaal Govern
1nent are in Chicago seeking to enlist
Americans for service in the ranks of the
Beers There are in Minneapolis several
ex-members of the Thirteenth Minnesota
who are anxious to go to the Transvaal,
but they believe the Beers must be de-
feated and they consider enlistment in
their behalf almost as forlorn nope, Two
ey-mombers of the Thirteenth have COM
municated with the representative in
Great Britain in regard to service in the
way in which they could get to South
Africa as soldiers would be to go to Can
ada and enlist and after that take big
chances of ever being called into the
African service
They have, therefore, dropped the idea
of joining either the Boer or British
forces How the ex-soldiers learned OF
they decline to say.

ENGLISH TOURIST DIES
OF DELIRIUM TREMENS

SEATTLE, Oct. 29.-Thomas Hughes q
well-dressed and well-educated sAs14-
man, died in a local hospital yesterday of
delirium tremens. He came to Seattle
last Thursday from Toronto, en- route to
Vancouver. To passengers on the train
he said he was a solicitor in London,
England, having witnessed the yacht race
in New York. He was touring the West
for pleasure. Just before the train
reached Seattle he jumped from his berth,
shouting. "They are trying to kill me-"
He was taken in charge and on the ar
rival of the train here removed to he
hospital In his delirium Hughes raved
very much about the Columbia-Shamrock
yacht races, and once or twice he made
the assertion that he came over with Sir
Thomas Upton to witness the race.
Nothing found upon Hughes person in
any way established his identity, except
of the Albion Hotel in Toronto. The at
tending physicians say alcoholism caused
death.

BREWING IN SAMOA

NEW YORK, Oct 29-Interesting news
concerning the political Situation in
Samoa is contained in a letter received
by a gentleman in this city from a friend
at Apia. The letter is dated October s..
brewing n Samoa, and notwithstanding
the reassuring news of the United States
Consul there it will come sooner, per
powers do not get to work very soon and
establish a strong Government there will
be another invasion of Apia by natives
and more white blood will be spilled.

peace commission, had the slightest idea
of relinquishing claim to the Government

WEYLER'S TYPEWRITER
AT WORK IN NATAL

PIETERMARITZBUR Oct 2S.-After
fourteen days invasion of Natal the
Beers occupy virtually one-fourth of the
colony, including two important towns
and one hundred miles of railway. They
have also suffered three reverses and lost
1000 men in killed and wounded. Released
civilian prisoners report much illness
among the Beers. Profound discourage
ment pervades the enemy's camp. They
can do nothing except on the hills and
they are not much use there.
They are beginning to realize that on
level country like the Free State the only
alternative to retreat are surrender or
annihilation.
In case the Free State force were
threatended from the south or west the
Beers now in Natal would require a week
to reach Bloemfontein. The British
troops are confident and elated
