republic In 1877 was greatly weakened
by wars with the natives and England
took advantage Of its condition to an
mex 1t. This high-handed act was bit
terly resented by the Beers and in 1880
they revolted and in 1881 they routed
the British in several engagements,
with the result that the Gladstone gov
ernment withdrew it's claims and rec
ognized the independence of the re-
public. A treaty In 1884 removed the
only remaining shadow Of British suz-
erainty.
Such ia the record. It tells for 100
years the same story of British greed
and Boer indomitableness. England
began with making conquest Of the
colony OF q foreign country under pre-
l ts people went out into the wilderness
to maintain their liberties and Eng
land followed them. Whenever these
Dutch republics were weakened by
wars with the natives England ad-
vanced and annexed them. at one time
aiding the negro tribes to conquer the
Beers and then seizing the country as
it's spoil. The Beers migrated while
they could to get out of the way OF
England. When they could no longer
migrate they fought.
Now the two survivors OF tho three
Dutch republics are at the end OF their
resources. They see that England has
resumed her old policy of making do
mestic trouble the excuse for annexa-
tion. BY tradition and inheritance,
they feel, the English are their enem-
les. It is u race conflict ae well as a
political one. Experience has taught
them what to expect. They have their
backs to the wall, and they fight.
The sympathies Of the world should be
with them in this final and heroic ef-
fort to maintain their liberties.

TO Great Britain it means q now and

The first year the Anatolian railway
carried 300 carloads Of wheat the Sc
cond year TOO carloads OF cereals. The
railroad has done much to alter the
character OF the country, to build up
towns, to open factories and bring good
European colonists to cultivate the
soil. One of the chief obstacles to the
progress Of the country has been the
shittless Turkish inhabitants, who did
not Wish to use modern tools and have
not sufficient ambition to try to get

floor, 80 that at last 1t was necessary to
take out the scats and leave the pas
sengcr coaches almost like cattle cars.
The sparse population Of the district
through which the railroad runs Is an
advantage for the new comers from
Europe, who have no difficulty in find
Ing all the land they require.
The climate of tho different parts Of

ducts can be raised successfully in diff

has been received from Havana, which.

serious Injury to the province. This IS

Compliance with such instructions

Since American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes. aud have been the principal

pcnditures. The llcra|do says that TO
carry out this order would rob lo,ooa

would probably take 10 the hills and
become bandits, having no other re
course.
