CHARACTERISTIC LETTER

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-General P. j.
Joubert, the commander of the Boer
forces, has sent the following letter to
George Van Siclen under date Of Septem-
Der II. 1899:
Your letter OF August 8, 1899, came to
hand. 1 thank you for 1t and for the op-
portunity gwen me to remove and contra
dict great misunderstanding or wrong
impression that l am in favor in England
and therein differ from President Kru-
ger. This is absolutely untrue. If Presi-
dent Kruger and l differ then it may be
in some OF our opinions, but the mainte-
nance Of our government and the de-
fense Of our independence are equally
close to the heart of each of u.s.
Probably this letter will not reach you
before England has begun to fire her
cannon upon us. and then we shall have
the commencement of the fight but our
God in heaven only knows what the end
will be.
I'VE read in the English papers Of
all the auxiliary troops which are Of

tect the Beers against this force, then

DEPARTS FOR

Thousands of Britons Cry
Good Luck" and RE
member Majuba."
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Oct. 14-General Sir Redvers
Butler, who will have the chief command
in South Africa, left Waterloo station
this afternoon for Southampton to go
on board the Dunottar Castle. His de-
parture was the occasion of another
patriotic demonstration. General Butler
arrived at the station at 1:45 p. m. With
great difficulty his carriage forced it's
way through the crowds that blocked
every approach. The people swarmed
everywhere and gave the station the ap-
pearance of a veritable beehive.
Constant and deafening cheers marked
the approach of the royal carriages con-
tanning the Prince OF Wales and the Duke
of Cambridge, and when Sir Redvers
Butler alighted and appeared In the door
way of the station to receive the Prince
and his former commander in chief en-
thusiasm knew no bounds. The immense
waiting-room was temporarily converted
into a reception-room, where the Secre-
tary of State for War, Lord Lansdowne,
Lord Wolseley; George Wyndham Parlia-
mentary Under Secretary of State for
War; General Sir Evelyn Wood, Colonel
Lord Paul Methuf and a host of other
celebrities were gathered to bid farewell
to General Butler.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke of
Cambridge accompanied him to the tram.
Meanwhile the people filled every avail
able spot within the station, hanging
even from the rafters. Thousands of
throats took Up the cries, Good luck
and Remember Majuba." Everybody.

as the train finally moved out of the sta
ton.
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Oct IA
The arrival and embarkation of General
Sir Redvers Butler was the occasion for
a scene of frantic enthusiasm. Thousands
of townspecple and visitors swarmed
near the quay, where the Mayor of
Southampton welcomed General Butler
amid deafening cheers and the waving
of handkerchiefs, hats and walking
sticks. Sir Redvers smilingly acknowl-
edged the demonstration and went imme-
diately on board the steamer, entering

On October q and 25 there will be en-
barkations of a large contingent Of men
and equipment at Tilbury. These two
ports will be the only outlets of any i'm
portance
The Outlook quotes a member Of the
Cabinet, whose name is not given, but
who IS evidently Mr.. Chamberlain. as
saying in private conversation: "Abso
Lutte equality, nothing more and nothing
less, IS what we intend to secure in South
Africa There can be but one fate for
the Boer oligarchy and there can be left
no doubt regarding our sovereignty over
all South Africa. When these ends have
been attained a policy of magnanimity
and consideration, such as has made the
French Canadians loyal British subjects,
will, 1 have no doubt, be applied with
equal success in South Africa. To de-
stroy ruthlessly the best traditions and
amour propre Of the Beers would be an
act Of the supremest folly"
The Shippers Gazette says that the
calling out of the reserves is seriously
affecting the ship yards and engineering
works, especially the latter, resulting IN
a slackening Of the rate Of ship products.
The plethora of money in England is
evidenced by the fact that the Mansion

PLAN OF THE BOER
CAMPAIGN UNF0LDED

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE capture of the
train on the western border of the Trans
vaal is the beginning of a few anticipated
reYerses at the outset of the campaign
The Boer plan is now unfolding itself It
seems to be to strike simultaneously at
different points, with a view of obtain
ing strong strategic position IN Natal
before the arrival Of the British army
corps. At all points the British are faced
by Boer forces superior at least In num-
Der.
The most dangerous positions, especially
since the loss Of the armored train, are
between Mafeking and Vryburg. Colonel
Baden-Powell, who is in command at Ma
feking, IS a man Of the greatest courage
and energy, but he has only 1000 men,
many of them irregulars, whose fighting
capacity is not known, although II is be-
lieved to be good. The fact that he has
moved out Of Mafeking indicates some ap-
prehension and in ell likelihood he will
have to stand q fierce assault or a pro
longed siege
General Sir George Stewart White, com
manding In Natal, is estimated to have
about 900 men stretched In strongly In
trenched positions from Ladysmith to
Dundee. He is a man of great resources
and has the valuable assistance of Cen
eral Sir William Penn Symons. expert
enced in India, and of General Sir Archi-
bald Hunter, experienced in. Soudan cam
paigns.
1t is now expected that the session Of
Parliament will not exceed two weeks.
The opposition viii devote It's energies to
an endeavor to extract from the Govern
ment some information on what condi-
tions peace win be concluded and as to
the future position Of the Transvaal.

The Lokal Anzeiger calls England's pro-
cedure ''colossally brutal" and charges
Mr.. Chamberlain and the war party in
England with dishonest financial opera
tions that render war necessary"
The Frankfurter Zeitung says: The
fact that Great Britain will not be hin

free elsewhere for them
The fact that President Kruger did not
receive birthday congratulations this year
from Emperor William is commented
upon regretfully by a number of papers

sympathy with the Beers. Subscription
lists are being circulated on the Bourse
to raise money for the equipment of am

committee is forming to collect funds for

TO OBSERVE
THE STRICTEST
NEUTRALITY
But Germany Would Like to
Aid the Beers in the
Struggle.
Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct IA high German off,
cial whose utterances may be taken as
absolutely conclusive said to-day:
I'VE shall observe the strictest neutral
tty, no matter what may develop in the
war between the Boer republic and Great
Britain. That is the only course left open
as conditions in South Africa are so COM
pIicated and our relations with both sides
are SO delicate that to abandon neutrality
by so much as a hairs breadth necessar-
iIy would lead to new and unforeseen
complications.
1--WE mean to adhere to neutrality
toward both parties. What else can we
do? Other powers spoken of as likely to
interfere have also concluded to keep
quiet. Such rumors as now and again
reach the press-for instance, the report
about the alleged attempts on the part
of the Russian Minister, Count Muravieff,
to bring about concerted Intervention
are unfortunately only rumors. l say un-
fortunately, the word showing how our
sympathies lie, but politics In these days
must be strictly separated from interests
on one side and sympathies on the other
It Is true our entire press calls upon the
Government to interpose between the
brave little republics and big, powerful
England and again crusade against
England is being preached to the nations
Of the continent. But we would be fools
TO listen to this siren song. On that oc-
casion when we blew the alarm horn-I
refer to Emperor Williams telegram to
President Kruger in 1S96-and tried to as
semble the powers with view of op-
posing Great Britain in her selfish and
rude aggressiveness. we had a bad ex-
perience The lesson was not lost upon
us. OF course all the other powers would
like 1t only too well If Germany would
oppose England seriously in this matter
but we doubtless would again be left to
our unaided selves Therefore we are go
ing to avoid Intervention and to remain
strictly neutral in the coming struggle.
Our intention has been communicated
fully to the Transvaal and to England.
England would not have gone on as she
has If she had not thoroughly understood
this. Do not understand me to mean that
Germany would not participate in some
concerted action looking toward inter-
vention, but she has no idea Of again
taking the initiative
This authoritative declaration tallies
with one made by the inspired BerlIner
Post, in which the policy of neutrality Is
likewise advanced. However, aside from
the Government press every paper and
every person, high or low, condemns Eng
land Many also seriously blame the
Government for its inactivity. The
Deutsche Tages Zeitung says:
1T is unnecessary to say that our best
wishes accompany the Beers, for they will
fight not only in behalf of their own exist.
ence but in behalf OF Germany's position
In South Africa, which will be lost If the
British win. If, on the other hand, the
Beers win Great Britain will not only lose
South Africa but perhaps the whole of
her powerful position in the world"

Nachrichten use similar arguments. The

HOW B0ER ARTILLERY
DESTROYED THE TRAIN

LONDON, Oct. 14.-Further details are
at hand regarding the destruction of the
armored train at Kraaipan. They show
that Captain Nesbitt who was in COM
mand OF the train, was warned at Mari
bogo that the Beers held the line He re-
piled that he was bound to proceed.
Nearing Kraaipan the train dashed into a
culvert that had been blown UP by the
Roers, who were lying in wait for the
train. The. Boer artillery Immediately
opened fire and a desperate fight ensued,
lasting four hours, with the odds greatly
against the British.
The precise details are uncertain. It
seems, however, that a police patrol at
tracted by the firing approached within
about two thousand yards of Kraaipan.
saw the train ditched, with the Boer ar
ullery still pounding at it, but noticed no
response. The Beers seemed afraid to
approach until the wreck was complete.
and the police patrol feared, as there were
no signs of life near the train, that the en-
tire force had perished in a desperate at
tempt to get the train back to Mafeking,
where they knew it was anxiously awaited
with its load of guns and ammunition 1t
is reported that the Beers lost heavily
but there is no means of verifying this.
Two miles of rails were torn up.
VRYBURG, Oct. Is, afternoon DELAYED
in transmission).- n).-According to the latest
reports matters so far as the train was
concerned were hopeless as soon as the
artillery began bombarding it. The driver
of the armored train escaped to the veldt
and has turned up at Maribogo, from
which place he telephones that all the
persons on the train except himself were
taken prisoners. An engine has been sent
to Maribogo to bring him here. Besides
removing the rails the Beers have de-
StrOyed several bridges.
