The last and greatest disaster TO
the British in their war against the
Beers is the defeat of Buffers army
with loss of HOO men. The de-
feat of Methuen in the third battle
was also overwhelming. He lost
nearly 1000 men.
England was stunned by the news
from South Africa, but declares she
will put every man and every dollar
too into the struggle, if necessary,
to conquer the Beers.
There is no doubt she is willing
to put all the men that can be
gathered together into the struggle,
but we are somewhat skeptical
about the dollars. In the mean
time the fighting is to cease for six
weeks, or until England can mass
every available man and gun on
the Cape. General Roberts and
General Kitchenery who slaugh-
tered the Mahdi's men SO fearfully
are to be pnt in command. In the
meantime Kimberley and Lady
smith are left to take care of them
selves as best they can.
With all this buster it is Just
possible that there may be no more
fighting. A qniet word may be
passed at Washington and the
United States Offer as peace maker
and adviser. They, the British
public, would fain place the blame
on bad generalship of Methuen and
Butler, but it isn't that. The
Beers shoot with deadly accuracy
and NOW the British down, like the
men at Bunker Hill and New
Orleans.

Even Worse Than London Masher,.
H132i s., :':'7,3S

Madrid streets are by no means al
together delectable. Some are broad
and well kept, but others are narrow.
dirty and malodorous. Worst Of all.
to my own thinking, is the Madrid
stare, which, hardly less offensive than
the Paris stare, is more universal, says
a Madrid correspondent of the New
York Times 1t is amusing to see how
fearlessly a maiden of Is sallies forth
alone, while many Madrid spinsters
of 80 would not go block unattended.
But why do you mind?" said high
bred Madrid lady to me, with puz-
zled look. Men have their own heads
full Of these Stiffness and they suppose
women are as foolish as themselves.
They are much more careful with for
eigners than with u.s." Another lady.
who. under stress of family misfor-
tune. was taking few boarders, told
me that she had never received Span
ish gentlemen because of her daugh-
tiers. Foreign gentlemen, the Germans,
English and Americans whom I have
had here" she said, "are very strange
about that, but it is much nicer. They
treat the girls as friends, and show the
same respect the last day as the first.
OF Spaniards that couldn't be expected.
Our young men are all for lOvemaking
and such nonsense. And my daughters
have no father nor brothers to protect
them"
THAT very fact ought to be their
perfect protection with gentlemen"
said. 'Oh, Spaniards are gentlemen"
she loyalty fastened to declare. They
are the most gallant gentlemen in the
world. The trouble is, they are lit
tie too gallant" Madrid is better than
the cities of Andalusia and worse than
the cities of northern Spain in its
treatment of women. A young Span
ish girl cannot walk alone, however
sedately, in Seville, without running
fire of salutations-"Oh, the pretty
face." What cheeks of rOses!"
Blessed be thy mother!" Give me
little smile!" And even in Madrid
