The language Of the Beers in South
Africa Is dramatically the language
of the people Of Holland. They speak
Dutch a their torefathers In Holland
spoke It and speak II now. They are
called Boers because that Is a Dutch
word which describes them. 10 means
a farmer. and agriculture Ia the main
pursuit of the compatrlotA OF Dom
Paul. A knowledge OF Dutch would
supply an explanation OF the odd.look-
Ing words that are used now and then
In the news reports from the republic.
II would also enable one 20 pronounce
these words AS they should be enun-
ciated.
Dutch %dlphthongs are not given the
same sounds as their equivalents In
English. The double o." for Instance.
In Dutch has the same sound as 70" IN
Rome, while the dlphthong zoe" Is pro
nounced by the Dutch as we pronounce
100" In boot. The English pronuncia-
ton Of these two dlphthongA is the re-
verse Of that given them by those who
speak Dutch. And "ou" has the sound
OF "uw" In owl. The sound OF "ui" Ia
nearly like that OF tho English 10Y" In
boy. Ine Dutcn Fan II the SAME IN
the English "a" in war. As there ia
no y" In Dutch its place is taken by
Vi" which Is sounded as ~" in defy.
II one, therefore, would pronounce
Dom Paul properly, he would say It as
II II were spelled "ome Powl." The
family name Of Gen. Joubert would, for
the same reason, be pronounced as II
II were spelled "Yowbert." The word
o e Is pronounced by the Afnkander
as II 1t were of two syllables, the first
long and the second short, thus
"Boo-er." The plural Is not Beers
It Is "Boeren," and It Is pronounced
"Bo-ereh," because the final IN" 4,

The marvellous effects that are some
times produced by music may even
tually receive a scientific explanation.
In a recent lecture at oxford university,
Prof. McKendrick said that, while the
intricate connections Of the auditory
nerves are only just being unrayeled,
II Is probable that the roots Of those
nerves are more widely distributed
and have more extensive connections
than those OF any other nerves in the
human body. Researches on the u
ditory nerves indicate that there is
scarcely a function Of the body which
may not be affected by the pulsntions
and harmonic combinations OF musical
tones.-Youth's Companion,

FR1ssDsH1p FOR AMERICA.
This Causes Admiral Won Diedrichs to
Lose His Job.

This Causes admiral Won Dieorichs to
Lose His job
BERLIN, March GA high official
of the German navy department has
Informed the Associated Press that
the appointment OF Prince Henry OF
Prussia, brother of Emporer William,
to the comamnd of the East Asiatic
squadron, had been considered for
months past, and was finally decided
upon as being the most expedient,
the emporer desiring to show the
American people that he is thorough
ly friendly with them, knowing Henry
is popular in the United States.
When the official referred to was
asked whether the appointment was
equivalent to the disgrace of Admiral
Won Diedrichs, he said:
mot exactly. If Diedrichs had
shown more tact last summer before
Manila, it would undeniably be pro-
ductive of good results all around.
Our government, unfortunately, was
advised too late of number OF occur
rences before Manila, none of which
were really Important, but which
showed grave want of tact upon Died
richs' part"
The above is impor tant, as being the
first German official admission that
there was trouble between Germans
and Americans in Manila bay.

ANOTHER SKIRMISH
AT MARIQUINA
The Enemy Dislodged
From Their Positions

NEW YORK, March IA dispatch
to the Herald from Manila says: After
the insurgents had been driven off las
niy yht from in front of Mariouina they
came back 500 strong and cut off &
company of the First Nebraska volun
teets.
This morning General Hale sent on,
three companies of the Nebraska resi.
ment holding strong position among
the rocks, fired several yolleys at the
advancing Americans, but the latter
by flank movement. drove the Fill
pinos over the hills.
No sooner was the fight we'll under
way than the insurgents to the south
of the water works, knowing that the
forces there had been weakened by
sending troops to Mariquina, attacked
the water works in the rear. Their
object was to cut off the pumping
station, but they did not succeed.
Their fire was heavy and our small
loss was due solely to the bad marks
manship of the Filipinos. The
enemv's dead numbered 20. Returns
now iu show five Americans wounded.
The insurgents are placing guns in
position at various points.
The opinion of all the prominent
men in Manila is that the military
sorce OF the insurgent anarchy must be
broken before stable government
can be established in the islands.

President Mckinley has decided not

ed by the compromise bill to organize
a provisional army of 80, 900 volunteers
After consulting with officials of the
war department. the president has de-
cided that in view of the present favor.
able outlook in Cuba and the prospect
of the complete suppression of the
Philippine insurrection at an early
day, it will not be necessary, after the
present volunteer forces have been
mustered out, to have more than the
$1,000 men allowed for the regular
army until July 1, 1901.
1t is also his purpose to expedite the
withdraw of volunteers from Cuba
without delay, and those in the Philip
pines will be brought Anme as soon as
as enough regulars cabs be sent out to
take their places.
The president will have authority
under the law to appoint volunteer
general officers and volunteer staff
officers in sufficient number for the
$1,000 regulars. If subsequent develop
ments show the necessity for more
men, the president will then exercise
his power to enlist all or part of the
$4,000.

Work Of Congress Was Generally Ap.
proved by Him.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The pres.
ident expresses himself as well pleased
in general with the outcome OF the
session Of congress just closed.
He takes hopeful view of the condi-
tions, believing that the failure of con-
gress to meet the requirements In sew
eral instance OF the executive will not
operate to embarass the government
seriously. 1t was the purpose of the
president, had congress listened favor
ably to his request for authority to
appoint four additional major-gener-
ais to have named Generals Fitzhugh
Lee, Wheeler, Wilson and Wood.
1t was bitter disappointment to the
war department. that the request of the
president for authority to appoint only
one additional major-genera. of regu-
lars should have been negatived. 1t
was the purpose to name for that hon.
or General Shafter, in order that he
might retire with the laurels he has
earned. The general must be retired
by law on the 14th of the present
month. and must go out with only q
volunteer commission. 1t is the pur-
pose to give him a: least this.

Several warships Must 60 out of Commits
sion for Lack of Sailors.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The navy
department has put the big double-
turreted monitor Puritan out Of COM
mission at the Norfolk navy-yard, ami
it is said at the navigation bureau that
this ship must be followed by others
speedily, to the great detriment OF the
plans of the department.
The estimate submitted to congress,
based on the minimum requirements
of the navy, provided for 10000 sail
ors. Congress cut this down to Is, 600.
There are now S,000in the service. 30
that 5000 of these must be dropped
Immediately. That means according
to the navigation officers, that large
part of the North Atlantic squadron
must go out of commission. The
Asiatic squadron cannot be reduced in
view of Dewey's necessities; there is
only one ship, the Philadelphia on the
Pacific station: the European and the
South Atlantic stations haye been
abandoned, and there is only left the
South Atlantic squanron as material
for cut. The loss 800 men means the
cutting in half of this splendid home
defense squadron.
1t is probable that the heavy reduc-
ction in the number of enlisted men,
and consequently of ships will inter-
fere seriously with the conduct OF the
naval maneuvers this year, notwith'
standing the enormous benefit that
has been derived from such drills In
the past. Another difficulty is going
to be the impossibility of putting intt
condition the new ships as they are
turned over to the government by thu
builders, simply for want of men Il
man them.

MONEY FOR CUBAN TROOPS.

Paymaster-General Cary Will go to Cuba
Next Week.
NEW YORK, March GA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Paymaster-Genera1 Carey has perfect
ed arrangements for going to Cuba
next week to pay of the Cuban army.
General Carey will take the entire
appropriation of S3,000,0O0 to Cuba,
S1,500,0O0 of which will be in silver
and the remainder in gold or bills. He
will leave New York on one of the
government transports, to which the
money will be transferred from the
sub-treasuay, and upon his arrival at
Havana he will report to General
Brooke.
AS General Gomez desires that the
American officers shall handle the
money, the disbursements will be
made by American pay officers upon
the direction Sof General Cary, who
will be furnished with list of the Of
ficers and men comprising the Cuban
army and the amount of money which
should be paid to each. 1t is not in
tended by this government to furnish
more than SO, ,O00,0 900.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The house

| others, Speaker Reed announced the
house stood adjourned, sine die, amid
general applause. Suddenly some
members began singing and above the
din arose the strains of ''My Country,
T1s of Thee" The air was taken up,
the galleries caught the inspiration,
and as'one man everybody arose and
joined in the singing, until in one
grand chOrOus thousands were voicing
the beautiful words of the national
anthem. Tt was scene to live life
time to witness, and a fitting and pa
triotic climax for the great war con-
gress
When the anthem was concluded,
General Henderson started "Auld
Lang Syne," and it was also sung with
will. Suddenly John Murray Nit
chell waved aloft a small American
flag, and members and the galleries
went wild joining in singing 1.-THE
Red, White and Blue" When the
singing was in progress Mr.. Hull, of
Hull bill fame, jumped upon desk
with large red, white and blue
streamer, waving it to the rhythm of
the air, and redoubled the tumultuous
nature of the demonstration. A voice |
In the gallery shouted '.Three cheers
for Dewey" and they were given with |
volcanic and explosive yigor. Then
came cheers for the army and navy,
and finally for Joe Wheeler. The de-
concluded with the sing
ing of the doxology.
In the senate there was considerable
discussion during the forenoon over
the different measures necessary to
wind up the business Of the session,
but all matters were disposed of by
noon, when the Vice-President an
nounced the senate stood adjourned

Paw of an Admiral,

WASHINGTON, March 5.-In the last
hours of Congress it was provided that
the admiral of the navy should receive
the pay and emoluments of the last
general of the army. This legislation
was supplemental to the passage of the
bill reviving the grade of admiral for
the benefit of Admiral Dewey. Its
effect is to give Admiral Dewey COM
pensation at the rate of 81, 500 year.
OF this sum $4,000 Is the regulation
pay of an admiral of the navy. The
extra 81, 500 is the allowance made to
the general of the army of $l25 per
month for quarters
Admiral Dewey holds the highest
rank in the military service of the
United States army or navy, and
ranks with the highest officers in the
principal foreign navies.
