ROW AMONG NAVAL VETERANS.
Split Over Question of Admitting
Veterans of Spanish War.

At Wednesdays session of the annual con-
vention of the National Association of Ma
val Veterans in Philadelphia, a resolution
providing for the admission Of participants
in the Spanish war to membership in the
association started a rumpus and the re-
suit was that there is now split in the or
ganization. At the convention held in Gin
cinnati last September the resolution above
mentioned was introduced and under the
rules, was laid over until this year. There
was much discussion among the members
as to the advisability of admitting the
Spanish war veterans, and when the reSO-
luton came before the convention yester-
day everybody was ready to fight for or
against it.
The leader of the forces in favor of the
proposition was Past Rear Admiral B. s.
Osborn of Farragut Association, New York.
He delivered passionate address, in which
he said the Naval Veterans Association
should be perpetuated by admitting the
men of the late war and not let the or
civil war He was followed by Surgeon A.
Trego Shertzer Of Baltimore who stoutly
maintained that the association was organ
lied for the sailors of the civil war only,
and that it should die with them.
A number of other speeches were made,
and the vote on the resolution was over
whelmingly against admitting the men of
the late war.
When the result was Announced the Far
ragut delegates from New York and the
delegates from theaAdmiral Boggs Associa-
ton of Newark, N. j., walked out in a
body. 1t is their intention to start an OPP
position association, to be known as the
United States Veteran Navy, and the head
quarters will probably be in New York.
The boilers claim that they will get nearly
200 members from the Naval Veterans As
scciation, and will admit to membership all
those who were in the navy during the
Spa nish war.
Outside of this episode, the convention
was harmonious one. Rear Admiral Foss
of Minneapolis was in the chair and made
adopted abolishing the title of rear admiral
and giving the highest officer in the asso-
cation the title of commodore commanding.
The proposition to parade with the Grand
Army of the Republic each year was de-
feated, as was also a resolution providing
for the organization of beneficial society
within the association.

The Postmaster General has issued a

Holiday drew or caused to be drawn, bills

KRUGER ON TRANSVAAL TROUBLE,
Accuses England of Wanton AEsres.
niOn Toward the RenuhIic

sion Toward the Republic.
The New York World prints the following
response to a message sent on Tuesday last
to Paul Kruger. president of the South
African Republic:
From the Government of Pretoria to the
World, New York:
Gladly accede to your request to put the
Boer side before the American public.
The present agitation against this repub-
lie emanates partly from certain section
of British residents to whom the existence
of the republic, which embraces the most
fourishng parts of South Africa is
standing eyesore, and who suffer from the
prevailing lingo mania; partly, also. from
| mining capitalists, who, not content with
having here the best mining laws in the
world, wish also to have complete control
of all legislation and administration.
The franchise voting question was taken
up (by England) because it was thought
the republic would not yield on that point.
Now that the altered franchise does not
materially differ from the American-it is
in many respects easier-the agitation has
become much worse. The object clearly is
the destruction Of republic and the
complete control of the richest mines Of
the world
lists, spreads unprecedented misrepresenta-
ton and prejudice throughout the world
against the Boer republic.
We are determined to defend to the utter
most that freedom and Self-government for
which our people have shed blood in every
part of South Africa. Though we have no
such powerful friend as you proved to
Venezuela and to other republics, We have
strong faith that the cause of freedom and
republicanism will triumph in the end.
SECRETARY FOR PRESIDENT. i.
Immediately upon receipt of the dispatch
from President Kruger the World cabled
1t in full to Joseph Chamberlain, British
secretary of state for the colonies. Mr..
Chamberlain was at his Office In London.
When the World correspondent called to
ask if he desired to make any statement in
reply to President Kruger's remarkable
dispatch Mr.. Chamberlain very courteously
declined to comment upon it in any way.
