General Butler Will Summarily Deal
With Them If Caught.
THEY FORFEIT ALL PROTECTION
And Their Home Governments Cannot

In the British War Department,


BY an ex-attache. n. Y. Tribune.
There are at the present juncture
two points in connection with the
Transvaal war that invite special at
testion and which possess for people
on this side Of the Atlantic more than
ordinary amount Of interest. The one
concerns the charges so freely made
to the effect that favoritism at the
war Office is responsible for the dis
couraging and humiliating mishaps
that have overtaken the British forces
at the very outbreak Of the struggle.
The other question which is perhaps
the more important Of the two, is as
70 the treatment that will be accorded
by General Sir Redvers Butler to for
eigneIs-that is to say, men who are
not Boers-who are found fighting in
the ranksthe ranks Of the Transvaal
forces against the English.
In view Of the circumstances that at
Washington, at New York, Chicago. st.
Louis asd other great centers in this
country offices are said 10 have been
opened for the ayOwed purpose Of re-
cruiting volunteers for the BOer army,
and that in Paris Colonel Monteil. the
famous African explorer, now retired
officer of the French army, is openly
engaged in raising a French force for
the same object, the Duchess Of TZeE
and other Partisan great ladies' hav-
isg subscribed muaihcently for it's ar
mament and equip 1ent, 1t becomes
Necessary TO consider the treatment
which these foreign leyies are likely TO
receive from the British commander.
There are two alternatives which he
will have to choose from Either the
Beers are recognized by England as
full hedged belligerants, and in that
event they, as we'll as well as non Brit
ish foreigners serving under the Boer
flag. are entitled to all the rights and
privileges Of prisoners II they fall into
the hands Of the English troops. Or
Sir Redvers win be forced to take the
ground that the Beers are mere rebels
that is to say people in a state Of in
surrection against their suzerain, and
therefore only entitled to the treat

Of the United States whom h. may

the ground that they are mere mrrcen-
aries, induced by the hope and expecta-
tious ot the pillage of British towns
and villages to take part in a struggle
in which they have no racial concern.
and that they are merely promoting
and abetting a rebellion u British
lieges against their suzerain. In that
event there is no doubt that he may
consider that he Is entitled by the laws
Of war and by International usage to
hang and shoot without even the pro-
cess Of court martial any non Beers
bearing arms against the British who
may fall into his hands.
Had the United States admitted the
preyensions Of the Transvaal to be re-
garded as a full fiedged belligerent it
could not under the provisions Of the
laws governing the maintenance Of neu-
trality have permitted England to con-
tinue the purchase Of mules, Of canned
provisions, etc, in this country. At
the same time It would not interfere
with the enlistment here Of men for
/ service with the Beers unless appealed
to by the English authorities. But were
the English diplomatic and consular
authorities here tO ask the United
States courts to put stop to the
operations Of those who are recruiting

disposed TO treat them az prisoners
Of war he would be virtually debarred
from allowing his feelings to influence
him in the matter by the knowledge
that any such concession would b. in
terpreted in Europe in the light Of a
. recognition by England that the Beers
are full fedged belligerents instead Of
merely reDelliOus yassaIs. That would
furnish powers such as, for instance.

The New Cure for Kidney, Bladder

ncy, liver, bladder and uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any other
disease, and Is so deceptive that thousands
have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root, and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond help,
can he made well by the use of this great
remedy.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so many
ways, in hospital work, in private practice,
among the helpless too poor to purchase re-
lief, and has proved so successful in every
case, that n special arrangement has been
made by which all readers of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. who have not already tried it,
may have n sample bottle sent absolutely

about Swamp-Root, and containing some of
