THE BLACK MANS BURDEN,

Take up the sword and rife,
Send forth your ships with speed
To Join the nations scramble
And vie with them in greed;
Go find your goods a market
Beyond the western flood,
The heather who Withstand you
Shall answer it in blood.
Toxic up the sword and rifle,
For so does all the world;
There's none shall dare upbraid you
When once your flags unfurled;
The race is to the swiftest,
The battle to the strong;
Success is the criterion,
None cares to count the wrong.
Toke up the sword and rife
And know no fear or pause,
What though your hands be bloody
Who calls ye to the laws?
The ports we wish to enter,
The roads We wish to tread,
Make them with heather living,
Mark them with heather dead.
Take up your sword and rifle,
Rob every savage rare,
Annex their lands and harbors,
For this is Christian grace.
Fen thoukh We slaughter thousands,
Ye still shall count it gain;
If We extend your commerce,
Who breads the curse of Cain?
Take up the sword and rifle
Still keep your conscience whole
So soon is found an JUNCTION
To soothe a guilty soul.
Go with 1t to your Maker,
Find what excuse you can
Rob for the sake of justice,
Kill for the love of man.

APPEAL TO CONGRESS.

These actions have resulted in san-
culinary street fights at San Palo, Lo-
mar, Balbino and Manila, caused by
hatred of the American soldiery. The
latter are imprisoning non-combatants
as prisoners of war and in revenge the
Filipinos kill Americans in the streets,
but are respecting other foreigners.
Inform the American senate and con-
gress of this and tell them the Filipinos
are friends of America, but will fight
against military despotism.
Agoncillo, the Filipino delegate, win
ask for European intervention in the
interests Of peace. In the meantime
the Filipinos will fight.
A schooner laden with ammunition
has been captured, but two others have

Els present command. AS the case
stands. Gen. Shafter is Il brigutlier in

law on October IL. but the War De-
IGtrt!nent does not deem it eXDedient
to relieve him of his command at pres

pilic&r whose grasp OF the many de-
tails connected With the return or the

than that of Gen. Smarter. The pre-
cedent for retiring Gen. Shafter in his
volunteer command was established in
the case Of Gen. Graham at Camp.

DETAILS OF THE CASUALTY.

LONDON. Oct 14-Further details
are at hand regarding the destruction
OF the arnlored train at Kraaipan.
These show that Captain Nesbitt. who
was in command of the train was
warned at Maribogo that the Beers
had the line. He replied that he was
bound to proceed. Nearing kraa:pan,
the train dashed into a culvert that
had been blown up by the Beers. who
We're lying in wait for the train. The
I3oer artillery Immediately opened fire
and a desperate fight appears to have
ensued, lasting four hours. With the
odds greatly against the British. The
precise details are uncertain.
1t seems. however. that a police
patrol, attracted by the firing, APP
preached within about two thousand
yards of Kraaipan, saw the train
dtched, with the Boer artillery still
pounding at it. but noticed no res
ponse. The Beers seemed afraid to APP
proach until the wreck was complete
and the police patrol feared. as there
was no sign Of life near the train. that
the entire force had persisted in q des-
perate attempt to get the train back
to Mafeking, where they knew it was
anXiously awaited With its load Of
guns and ammunition.
BOERsS LOST HEAVILY
ut is reported that the Beers lost
heavily but there is no means of vari-
flying this. Two miles Of rails We're
torn up.
There is no confirmation OF the re-
port that a battle has been fought in
Natal between General Sir George
White and the troops Of the Orange
Free State. although there is no ques-
tion that the Beers have crossed the
frontier at several points. They are
said to have eighteen guns: but il,
as is reported, the engagement began
before the Beers had formed a iaager
and thrown up earthworks. the British
cavalry and artillery are liable to have
had the best Of the fighting.
1t is even already reported that the
British have gained a great victory;
that 1000 Beers We're killed, and that
the British loss was very Slight: but
this may be without foundation, as
another report has been published to
the effect that Lord Rothschild was in
receipt of news Of a great British vic
tory. but when the Associated Press
representative questioned him regard
ing the alleged despatch he replied:
II reply that / have not received any
thing Of the sort.
