private letter received by the
last mail from London confirms our
views that the British newspapers,
as were the A nericans in connection
with their war, must bear by far the
greater responsibility for the Boer
war when the definition of RESPONSE
bility occurs. London is remarkably
quiet and nnconcerned about it, and
except to rai1e funds generously in
the interest OF the Transvaal refu-
gees and the widows and orphans Of
"Tommy Atkins" but little interest
and no anxie'y is shown, except in
the papers, by the great mass of
civilians. The Government, how
ever, will be attacked for not having
used their aeetest transports. in
stead OF slow coaches, and after the
war, Chamberlain political career
is doomed, for the liberals will be
merciless, and he will be compelled
to resign.

We publish on our FIRST page an
interesting article from Harper's
Weekly on "the Slavery and Poly
gamy of Sulu." 1t is worth reading
and rejecting upon, especially il we
remember how extremely moral
aud just in their actions are many
civilized nations professedly adopt
ing the tenets OF the Christian reli-
gion for portion of their Sabbath.
Wars are made for the civilizing in
fuences alleged to ensue from COM

"poor pagan natives" who are killed
off in these murderous wars far hap
pier than their friends who survive.

THEADNIRAL GRATEFUL
Dewey Accepts 0hioagc's Invita-
tion For the First of May.
FRIENDS IN FACE OF CRITICISM

The Admiral Admits That I'm Trans
ferrlnR the Peoples GIN to His wife
He Had Her Alone in Mind-The
Later Transfer Was Her Decision.
Washington. Nov. 24.-"Yes." said
Admiral Dewey last night to a re-
porter, with an appearance OF intense
satisfaction in his manner. 81 receiv-
ed today the telegram from the mayor
of Chicago supplementing the letter
of the Dewey committee of that city
inviting me to visit there on the 1st Of
May. You may say that barring any
unlocked for circumstances. | shall
accept the invitation to visit the city
on the 1st of May. | have been think
ing Of some place in which to spend
that day. the anniversary OF the mem
orable day of two years before, and !
don't know Of any more agreeable city
in which to spend II than Chicago The
people there have been very kind and
pleasant to me and ever since the bat
tie Of Manila have been receiving evil
dences of their good will and affection.
My hope, therefore, is to be able to ac-
cept the invitation"
The evidence of good will and kind
ness indicated by the letter from the
committee and from the mayor is a
source of extreme qualification TO the
admiral at this time, and he embraced
the oppol tunity offered by their pc
rusal to reiterate his thanks to the
people who have stood by him in the
face OF criticism which has appeared
as a result of a change in the title to
the property given him by the Ameri-
can people.
From every section Of the country, 4"
he said, "have kilograms and letters
come to me showing the good will AMI
kindness of the American people. II
Is impossible for me to acknowledge
each one of these communications in
dividually, but | assure you that ! am
deeply grateful to their senders and
appreciate their consideration. l am
constantly receiving tokens of good
will from the people, as you will see
by looking around this room and see
ing the beautiful things that have been
sent to me. / have been in my office all
day looking ever the kilograms and let
ters which have come. No, | do not
care to make any observations on the
criticisms which have arisen as a re-
suit of the transfer of the property
other than those which l already have
given public expression to. Enough
has already been said and l now want
to live quiet and peaceably."
In conversation with friends the ad-
miral freely admitted that in transfer
ring the house to Mrs. Dewey he had
her alone in mind; that he had thought
he could make her no more fitting we'd
ding present than what he valued most,
the gift of the people and the home in
which they were to live, and that he
did not then contemplate the further
transfer of the house to his son George.
The decision to do so was reached by
Mrs Dewey and the admiral heartily
approved.

BATTLE OF BELMONT.
Another Reported Victory For
Britons in South Africa.
BIG LOSS OF OFFICERS AND MEN.

The British Casualties, According to
the Ofncial Report, Aggregate over
Two Hundred-Forty Beers Captured
ana "Many killed aud wounded"
London, Nov. 24.-Before anxiety as
to the situation in Natal mad been re-
ceived there comes news of a great
battle at Belmont. This has happened
sooner than was expected. Only the
official account is yet to hand, but so
far as can be gathered the fighting ap-
pears to have been almost a repetition
of the battle of Elandslaagte. A dis
patch of the previous day estimated
that the Beers in that vicinity number
ed 1000, and that they had five guns,
and Judging from the absence OF any
statement to the contrary in the Of
fetal dispatch it is believed that the
British were slightly superior in num-
bers to the enemy.
The Beers had chosen position with
their customary skill, and were strong
ly entrenched. The British we're oblig-
ed to carry three ridges in succession.
Apparently the guards bore the brunt
in carrying the last ridge by a bay
onet charge, after its defenders had
been shaken with shrapnel.
Nothing is said as to whether the
positions so gained we're held, and the
destruction of ammunition seems to
indicate that the contrary was the
case.
While General Methuen can be con-
graduated upon brilliant victory, 1t
is again at a cost of a heavy loss of
officers and men.
General Methuen's dispatch, dated
Belmont Nov %, is as follows:
Attacked the enemy at daybreak this
morning He was in a strong position.
| Three ridges were carried in success
sion, the last attack being prepared
| by shrapnel Infantry behaved splen-
didly and received support from the
naval brigade and artillery. The enemy
| fought with courage and skill. Had
l attacked later l should have had far
heavier losses. Our victory was COM
plete Have taken 40 prisoners. Am

but the greater part Of the enemy s
killed and wounded were removed by
their comrades. Have captured large
number of horses and cows and de-
! olAOyOu q Adl QudAAllNy VI
ton
General Methuen's dispatch also
gives list of the British killed and
wounded. The death list includes
Lieutenant Fryer, of the GrenadieI
Guards The figures given are: Kill
ed, Sc; wounded, 1913; missing, 1S. OF
the wounded % are officers.
The situation in Natal remains OBJ
scure. Fighting is reported at both
Eastcourt and Ladysmith. 1t was at
first reported that heavy firing had
been heard in the direction of Willow
>Grange, leading to a belief that Gen.
eral Hildyard had made a sortie. Later
dispatches announce that General
White SORTED from Ladysmith and In
flicted demoralizing defeat upon the
! Beers.
1t would be premature to give full
credence to either report. What is
quite certain is that Ladysmith, Est
court and Mooi River station are all
isolated, and the Beers seem able, after
detaching enough troops to hold three
British forces, aggregating II 900 men
to push on toward Pietermaritzburg
with some 1000 men.
