CHICAGO, June 20.-Lord Cecil Douglass
Compton. English army officer, who was
in South Africa five years, left here for the
East last night. In discussing the situation
IN the Transvaal he said, just before his de-
parture: Tho Beers are magnificent guer-
rilla fighters. Their history has proved IL,
and they are fully up to their standard to-
day. They are expert marksmen, born
rough riders. such as your cowboys. and
their courage and tenacity is undeniable.
Individually they are as good military stuff
as the world possesses. They also are thor
oughly convinced of the justice of their
cause, and would die to a man at the order
or Dom Paul. But, aside from their NOR
ale and their fitness, the Transvaal country
is one admirably adapted for the purposes
or defense. 1t is inland, with large, unin-
habited spaces. An army invading 1t must
nave distant base, and its supplies must
be brought up through semi-tropical coun-
try under most disadvantageous conditions.
Cape Town Is a thousand miles from the
Naal river. and if an attack were to be
made from Natal there would be mountains
to work through and much tropical growth.
The question of transportation would be Sc
rious- We would need thousands of mules.
which must be brought from South Amer
lea. The ocean distance and the adverse
climate would kill the animals off by the
hundreds, and the actual work would entail
even greater losses.
There is question of strategy as well.
The Beers would be difficult to hit in a
mass. Indeed, they might not be mobilized
in an European sense at all. In an arid,
rocky country, filled with splendid shots.
with no real objective point to capture.
with disaffected or actively hostile popu-
lation on your flank or rear, the conquest
OF the Transvaal would be one of the most
arduous undertakings we ever entered
upon. In my opinion, no less than $4,000
men would be required. Your own Philip
pine war is not so difficult. Indeed, it is
folly to underestimate the military strength
OF the Transvaal, which proceeds not alone
from the material character Of the popula-
ton, but also from the nature of the coun-
try itself. And the Beers are armed to the
teeth. The money raised by the taxation
OF the uitlanders has been spent in arms
and artillery, so that the republic repeats
on small scale the military camp which
the continental powers exhibit on a large
scale"

"AUNTIEs, REBUKED.
Address by Justice HarIOn at the Uni
versity of Rochester.


ROCHESTER, N. Y, June 2o.-Justice
John NJ. Harlan, of the United States Su-
preme Court, delivered an address before
the Phi Beti Kappa of the University of
Rochester tonight in the Central Presby-
terian Church. During the course Of his re-
marks Justice Harlan said: "Our country
has reached critical and momentous period
in our history. Now, as much as at any time
in our past history, the utmost vigilance
and the most unselfsh patriotism are de-
manded for every genuine American. Some
people have not hesitated to say. In the
most public way, that those who ambush
and shoot down our brave boys in the Phil
ippines jungles are doing only what they
have a right to do. and what their honor
demands. They do not hesitate to place the
treacherous Aguinaldo beside Washington,
and Lafayette. and Lincoln. One of the most
conspicuous of this class has recently char
acterized this Nation as "a great assassin
Nation and has declared that the salvation
of liberty in the United States depends upon
the defeat of our gallant army in the Phil
ippnes.
II recently heard a distinguished minister
of the gospel, who was at the head of a
great university, say in a public address
that the American pessimist was a born
fool. / fully concur in that view, although
the form in which 1t was expressed was
not exactly judicial. For my part 1 have
an undoubting faith that great destiny
awaits America, and that in the working
out of the destiny. under the leadings of
Providence, humanity everywhere will be
lifted up and tyranny will be compelled to
recognize the fact that God is no respecter
Of persons and that He hath made Of one
blood all nations of men,"

DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
Small Force Of Americans Surrounded
by TreacherOua EiIiniuoa.


NEW YORK, June 20-The Heralds Ma
Mia correspondent in describing the battle
near Perez Las Marinas says: while the
American troops were in a sunken road q
force of insurgents attacked them on the
left flank. The Americans retreated in good
order for several miles. Finally. being re-
inforced by Robinson's battalion of the
Fourth Infantry. they advanced upon the
foe. Surrounded by thousands of the enc
my, SIX miles from reinforcements, and with
a thousand more insurgents moving rapid
ly down on their left TO make their anni-
hilation complete, the first battalion OF the
Fourth Infantry, Major Budd commanding,
in all three hundred Americans, fought their
way back from Perez Las Marinas three
miles toward their military base at linus.
where the rest of the Fourth came to their
support.
Reports were received that Las Marinas
had been deserted by the insurgents. The
alcalde of the place came to linus and for
mally surrendered the town. The houses
along the roadside yere filed with amigos
and the battalion advanced confidently until
within three-fourths of a mile Of Las Ma
rinas, when they discovered the enemy par
alleling the road at a long distance on both
sides and practically surrounding the lit
tie force. Natives began firing from the
houses in the rear and natives with white
clothes were captured with guns in hand
The whole scheme was to wipe out the small
body of American troops and might have
succeeded but for the marvellous courage OF
the troops and officers.
THE fight began at noon and the enemy's
fire was slenced in one hour. The Ameri-
cans. on retiring, discovered that they were
surrounded. The skirmish lines crowded the
Filipinos back toward linus, while out
fankers were on the right and left Under
a fianking fire the rear guard was desper-
ately fighting. the enemys fire poured upon
them in the road and men were falling
everywhere. The ambulance was filed and
carts were pressed into service. loaded with
the wounded and dragged by hand by
the prisoners. Two of our dead were left
behind"

ROOSEVELT TO STUDENTS.
He Says We Need Men of Brains Rath-
er than Men of Wealth.

ITHACA, n. y, June 20-Governor
Roosevelt to-day attended the class-day ex-
ercises OF the class of 1859 in Cornell Armory.
The students received him with cheers. In
lis address to the graduates the Governor
referred to statements recently made by sew
eral men who had amassed great fortunes,
TO the effect that collegiate education Is USE
less in the world OF to-day. He attacked
their position vehemently and said: Our
country could better afford TO lose all of
the men who have amassed millions than
to lose one-half of its college-bred men. We
can get along without men of enormous
wealth. but not without men of brains"
Governor Roosevelt then discussed the de-
STABILITY of college-bred men making them
selves active in the political world. He
criticised the position that because politics
is corrupt good men should shun it, holding
that the very fact that dishonesty and cor
ruption exists should be an incentive to
good men to actively participate in removing
evils. The man who holds aloof merely be-
cause of corruption, he said. is unworthy
of the blessings of American citizenship. A
man should be ready TO fight for the best
interests OF his country in times of peace as
we'll as war. The duties of peace are none
the less arduoIs than those of war. and he is
no thoroughly good American citizen who
shuns either.
Speaking directly TO the graduating class
the Governor advised its members that they
were no better than the masses who had
not had their advantages. except in so far as
they utilized their great advantages and
proved themselves so. Collegiate education
did not make them too cultured and refined
for the active work of life; if 1t did it would
be a curse rather than a blessing. Collegiate
training offered innumerahle advantages. but
merely of itself, If without effort, would
avail nothing. Above ALL" said the Gov
ernor, do not become Of the class Of So
called highly educated and cultured, who
sneer at American institutions and American
customs. If you recognize a fault come for
ward and expose it and strive to remedy 1t.
Do not become enc, of the class who lose
faith in the ability of Americans to govern
either themselves or their islands"
This afternoon the Governor addressed a
meeting in one of the parks of the city.

AN UNEXPECTED VERDICT.
Prominent White Man Convicted OF

MEMPHIS. Tenn. June 2.-An unex-
