BRITISH PRECAUTION.
The Government Sending Large Reinforce
ments to South Africa to Check Ger
tain European Intrlgues.

London, Oct 94.-Everybody is ask
ing why an immense body Of reinforce
ments is going out when every bulletin
of victory from Natal proves that a
more moderate force would suffice.
Well informed men are asserting that
these vast preparations are not meant
as a grand parade, but are a wise
precaution rendered necessary by the
possibility that Russia would take ad-
vantage Of the occasion and make an
otheradvance on Western Afghanistan,
where full control could be secured
over Persia. With British army
corps on the ground of South Africa
and in readiness for service in India or
Afghanistan, these witnesses are
ready to testify that Russia would not
advance on Herat
Those who are behind the scenes in
European diplomacy at the present
moment and well aware of the intrigu-
ing now taking place between France
and Russia and the intention TO take
advantage Of England's difficulties
very much doubt II the intrigues are
checked by British successes in Natal
and on the western border of the Trans
vaal and the Free State. The British

Of 1000 men, will follow the line Of the railroad
from Angeles to Tarlac, calling for re-enforce-

Gen. Lawton started his movement
first, with the idea that he would draw
the enemy away from the railroad and
thus make MacArthur's advance easier
and insure the use Of the railroad for
transportation of troops and supplies
to an advanced point in the enemy's
country. Gen. Lawton has taken with
him supplies for 3o-days' campaign,
and it is expected that he will reach

hausted.

OSTEOPATHY
BAD MAIL DELIVERY.
Contractor Richardson May Los
His AInskn Cnnfrrcf

His Alaska Contract
About year ago P. c. Richardson CON-
tracted with the Postofice Department for
carrying the mails from Dyea and skaguay
in Alaska TO the gold fields. This eon-
tract provided that the mails should be
carried each way twice a month. MANY az
the miners In that country have written
numerous letters TO the Postoffice Depart-
ment complaining that the mails were very
irregular. and that sometimes a whole
month would pass before any mails would
be delivered at all.
The Postofice Department became sus-
picious of Richardson, thinking that per-
hsps he was not performing his duties.
He WAS sent for by Second Assistant Post
master General ShelIenberger. but no in
timation was given him why his presence
was needed in Washington. He was asked
10 come more for the purpose of having
consultation with the head officials
When Mr. Richardson arrived here on
wednesday he was confronted with the
Information contained in the letters from
The unhappy gold prospectors and others,
about the nondeliyery OF mail He was
asked TO show cause why his contract
should not be abrogated Ii is probable
iaat the department is willing to forgive
MN Tor what be has done in the past,
making no effort TO get the money back
from him that ii has already paid but ii
IS very probable that he will not be al
lowed TO carry the mails in the future.
X Is not understood that Mr. Richardson
mad any explanation TO make except the
extreme bad weather. The fact that hir
contract has been in existence more than
ore year does not, in the opinion Of the
iostoliee officials. exonerate him in any
vay for his dereliction of duty. II Is es-
flmafed that for at least FIVE rnon,bs a.
the year the weather in Alaska is such that
great difficulty would be met in trying to
deliver the mails twice a month, but that
nc should not comply with his contrac,
= greater part OF the time is something
me officials do not understand.
