PREDICT BRITISH DOWNFALL

New York-Dr. Engleburg, the Pre-
toria correspondent of the Journal sends
a letter in which he says the Beers are
COL tident OF ultimate victory They ex
pect not only to maintain the indep md
ence of the Transvaal and to establish
that of the Orange Free State, but they
expect also to acquire Cape Colony and
to unite the three 10 an independent
confederated republic.
They predict that there will be an up
rising of the Dutch and Boer sympathiz-
ers in Cape Colony and that the end Of
Great .Britain's supremacy in South
Africa is near at hand
Ii is fact that even among native
born children OF English parents there
is strong feeling of loyalty to the land
of their birth rather than to Great Brit
ain. The aspiration for an independent
republic is deeply rooted in the hearts Of
Africanders of all extractions.
The war with England is war to de-
eide whether South Africa shall be free
to work out it's own destiny as nation
or shall be held in state of vassalage
for the benefit of England.

Loss of Life-Two Persons
Badly Hurt. .e' ... -'.'

+ Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. "a fire which
broke out in the Hotel Richlieu at 1918
Sunday morning resulted in a property
loss of only about $4,000, but three
lives were. sacrificed and five people
were badly hurt. The dead are: Amos
S. Lands, Grapeville, Pa; George A.
Waters, Camden, N. j.; Mrs. Katherine
Boyle, Pittsburgh, Pa. The three VIC
Tins were guests of the hotel, and all
were suffocated by the dense smoke.
The fire originated on the second
floor from an explosion of gas, and
within few moments the building was
a mass of flames and binding smoke.
The noise of the explosion awakened
most Of the guests, about 20 in mum Der,
and frantic fight for life ensYed. Rob-
ert N. Thompson, of Kalkaska, Mich,
a salesman for the Cadillac Lumber
company, was the means of saving at
least six lives. In the first moments
after the explosion he rushed into the
hallway of the second floor and STUN
bled over the unconscious form of a
woman, whom he dragged into the re-
ception room. Five others, three men
and two women, who had been turned
back from the stairway by the flames,
were shrieking and fighting for some
exit. Thompson forced them all into
the big room and locked the door.
Knowing that it meant death to go into
the hall, he fought the desperate men
back until the arrival of the tiremen,
when all were rescued. The hotel is
completely Quilted, the loss being about
$4,000. with no insurance.

Temporarily Abandoned.

It is believed that Fort Smelling will
be. temporarily abandoned after the
Third infantry leaves it for Manila.
The regiment will be off some time this
month, it is expected. The matter of
abandoning this fort, together with
those at Jefferson. Barracks, Mo-, Fort
Columbus, Ohio, and Fort Crook, Neb.,
has been under consideration for some
time by the wal. department. and it is
understood to have been favorably
acted upon. The only reason which
can be assigned is that it is Uncle
Sans desire to keep his soldiers near
the seacoast. With the expansion of
the territory of the United States it
will be necessary to employ many reg
ulars. To have them at hand, it will
be a good plan to keep them near the
coast, so that in times of need they can
hurriedly depart for the colonies.

OOO, 900 PaymentAttention. Sfi

Washington, Jan. 9.--.Ehe paymentot
$4,000, 900 to Spain understh e terms Of
the peace treaty is beginning to receive
attention from members of the house
committee on apr priations, and it is
likely that the amount will be carried
in one Of the regular appropriation bills,
probably the sundry bill. Chairman
Cannon says, however, that the :question
had not; been formally considered yet,
as there has been no estimate submit
ted and no official information on the
requirements of the case: Moreover,
there is no desire to anticipate action
on the treaty, and until tits ratified the
house is hardly in a position to carry
out this provisional repayment. =.
In the event OF ratification, however,
speedy action will be necessary. The
treaty provides that the payment shall
be$Hlad eH'within three months after the
exchange of ratitications," and another
provision requires the exchange. of ra IT,
fcations within six months from the
date the treaty was signed. viz. Deem
Der 10 last. This would bring the
payment before the next session of
congress, SO that the appropria ton
must be made at the present session.
Owing to the short time elapsing after
the senate acts on the treaty and the
close Of the present session, it is thought
that little time will remain to deal
with the after of this magnitude. VIZ
:; There has been some talk of dealing
with the payment in a special appro-
priation bill, but this is not feasible, as
a special bill has no privilege under the
rules and is easily open to obstruction
whereas the general appropriation bills
carry unusual privileges and are al
most certain to pass before the session
ends. For this, reason it probable
that the, payment will be placed in the
.snndry civil. bill or some other general
appropriation bill, if the provision is
retained in thetreaty as ratified Z
Z The appropriation committee has not
determined what appropria ton bill to
take up next. It will be either the
sundry civil or. the Notifications bill
But in any event action on the Span.
ish item is likely to be deferred. unit
action on the treaty is secured.
