told, 1t appears that a storm is brew
ing on the subject of the course Of the
government toward General Sir Will
lam Butler, whose conduct at the out
set of the war met with much criticism.
My informant a y that General
Butler, previously to war, sen a SER
les of dispatches warning the govern
ment against attcking the Beers, and
giving details of their condition for
wal which have been verified by re-
cent events. But his dispatches were
very distasteful to the government and
were put away out Of sight and Cen
eral Butler was harshly criticised.
General Butler, it seems, drew atten-
ton to the way in which the English
we're misled by the blindness Of the in
telligence department, which from
what has taken place, was totally I'M
aware, or purposely misinformed by
the Beers as to their arms and numer-
ical strength.
1t is. well known here that the Brit
ish agents Of the intelligence depart
ment were sent from time to time to
find out what the Beers were doing in
the way of armament. The Beers knew
all about it, but simulated naivete and
conducted the visitors round the forts
which they chose for their wi pur-
poses, where old guns were set up and
shown with an a%ffectation Of pride by
President Kruger's men, who were
cunning enough to inspire the strang-
ers by their FEASIBILITY. Thus the
British intelligence department receiv-
ed the most minute reports Of the cali
Der, range and number Of cannon pos
sessed by the Beers, but the agents
were gulled by willy burghers, as to the
real guns with which the war is being
conducted. Cruesotts and Krupps were
so carefully hidden that scarce a soul
outside of the immediate circle Of the
government knew of them.
The English government sent out
guns of equal caliber to what the
agents had been allowed to see In the
same manner, 1t is thought, that the
Beers understated their numerical
forces and number of their small arms.

fhis Woman's Curiosity Is Only Tenn
p0rariIy Suppressed.
He had been out pretty late, and he
knew it. Where he had been, who he
had been with and what he and the
other fellows had been doing are mat
ters not germane to the story. Suffice
to say that when he opened the door
with his latchkey and made as quiet
an entry as possible he felt in his
guilty heart that the wife of his bosom
would ask him whole lot of things
which he did not care to detail just at
that time. He was not mistaken. AS
soon as his wife heard him enter the
chamber she knew instinctively that he
was trying to "hold out" on her and
she asked:
"Where have you been2"
Now, it wasn't part of his plan to
tell her where he had been. The idea
was furthest from his mind, so he tenn
porized.
"Now see here, said the husband,
''if you will let me go to sleep and
don't ask me any questions now CT at
any other time about where l have
been, l will give you $50 in cash for
yourself. "
This was a poser, and the dutiful
wife naturally started to reach for the
$50 But feminine curiosity was a lit
tie too strong, and she did not at once
acquiesce. The next morning, when she
arose, the first thing that caught her
eye was her husbands coat, with one
sleeve torn out by the roots and hang
ing by thread.
"Why. Will. what is this?" she
asked.
That's loose sleeve" said her hus-
band.
"Well. how did it get loose?" she
persisted.
''See here" he said suddenly, s'do
you want to lose that $50? If you do,
just keep asking questions about that.
If you want to get it, just let the mat
ter drop.
Being wise woman, she let it drop,
but his friends are making bets that
she will first secure the $50 and then
find out some way how that sleeve got
loose, Kansas City World.

lean ports in a monthly service with this
city as it's western terminus will carry
California products to Europe nearly
three months quicker than they can be

the intention Of the to do rate
cutting in Central American trade. There
will be a fight on those lines with the
Pacific Mail company, but the rates to
Colombo and South American ports will
be cut in two. This will give the mer-
chants of San Francisco and the bust
ness men of the interior a chance to
build up a trade with the coast of South
America. The intention Of the company

Politics In Texas.

Green. chairman of the republican state
central committee Of Texas, said last
night:
II am going home to Terrell. Texas, in
a few days and will soon be in the field
ready for the campaign next year. I
take a great interest in politics, and
while it may seem almost too much to
hope. yet I believe that in the near flu
ture Texas will be reclaimed for the re-
publican party. The silver craze has
done much to strengthen US. The deliv-
cry Of the democratic party to the free
silver men. and the apparent determine
ton of those in control Of the party ma
chinery to cling to free silver as an issue
has driven the best men from the demo-
cratic party into the republican ranks.
They have been a great help to us, and I
believe next year their number Will be
greatly increased. We have made heavy
gains within the last two or three years.
and everything points to a continuance
of his growth. 1t is bound to come in
time. and Texas will ultimately be. re-
publican. The majority of democrats in
Texas favor w. J. Bryan for the renomi-
nation, and it seems likely hat he will

Scarcity of Steel.

New York, Aug. 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: On ac-
count of She steel famine considerable
difficulty is being experienced by the
navy department in obtaining r~easonabl
bids for work contemplated at navy yards
and the construction of men of war is
being delayed. The Gas Engine & Power
company of New York has specifically
called the attention of the department to
the difficulty of obtaining steel as a rea-
son in support of it's request that the time
of completion of the torpedo boat Bailey
be extended. Similar requests have beer
received from other warship constructors
and they advance the same reason as the
cause of delay. The superintendent of
docks and yards recently advertised for
the construction of il workshop for ord
nance at the League Island navy ward.
The original specifications called for the
