SECRET SERVICE AMONG THE B0ERS

The South African war has shown
one thing in which the Boer is supe-
rior to the English and that thing is
secret service. AS spy the Boer OF
the Transvaal has no equal. as the
English have found to their cost
Since the opening Of hostilities there
has scarcely been a move made on
the part of the British that did not
seem to be fully anticipated by the
Beers. In fact. the different signal
defeats which have befallen British
arms during the South African cam
paign may be attributed to the eff
cheney Of the Boer secret service.
Dom Paul and Joubert, 1t is we'll
known, have spies everywhere, and
owing to the peculiar conditions under
which the war Is being carried on, 1t

munication, and the mobility of his
forces all unite to neutralize
the advantage which his enc
mics possess in their more perfect
organization, in discipline and In SUI
periority in numbers. 1t explains to
a great degree just why the little re-
publics Of South Africa have been
able to make such an excellent show
ing when facing the most powerful and
the most aggressive empire in exist
ence at the present day.
While the Boer is by no means
diplomat, he Is in state and In mu-
nicipal affairs always a willy and foxy
schemer. This perhaps explains just
why the secret service system Of the
Transvaal is the most extensive and
the most effective affair of its kind in
existence. When it is remembered
that the Simple minded veldt bur-
CHER" has such an adroit and expert
enced secret service agent on the con-
tinent as DR.. Leyds and 1t is borne In
mind that this official receives a salary
of $4,000 year for his services, some
idea of the faith which Dom Paul
places In his spy system may be Sc
cured. DR.. Leyds goes about under the

ALLEGED MURDERER is
CLEvERLY CAPTURED

Tanaka, the japanese special officer
murderer, yesterday in a cane field near
Eva and brought him to Honolulu un-
der arrest. Arimoto, together with an
accomplice named Meta, murdered a
countryman at Kahuku about four
months ago in a quarrel over cards.
The latter was cut in the stomach, on
the hand and in the back. Arimoto and
Meta fled and were holly pursued for
three days, when Meta was run down.
He was tried in the police court, but
discharged on account of insufficient
evidence to convict him of murder.
Arimoto disappeared as though the
earth had swallowed him up. A reward
of $500 was offered, but no word or sign
of him was made public, although some
of the police officers made diligent
search. Meta has been constantly un-
der police surveillance since his release,
and upon news being received of Ari-
motos apprehension Meta was placed
under arrest and is now in Oahu prison.
Tanaka, by some secret means, obtain
ed information of Arimoto's where
aboutS, and three days ago went to
Eva and there played the role of
friend and secret society member, and
at last heard that ArimotO was living
in a shanty in the mi-dle of a great
cane field.
Tanaka filled Arimoto up with liquor
and brought him into Honolulu. Ari-
motto has been supplied with provisions
by friends for four months, and was
under the protection of the Rising
Sun" secret society of this city, of
which he was member. which was
paying the expenses of his concealment
This latter fact accounts for the reward
of $500 standing unheeded by the jap
anese, as they were in duty bound to
protect their countryman. Tanaka is
very proud over his success, but there
seems doubt as to whether he has any
right to the $500 reward offered for the
murderer 1t is believed that some ar
rangement can be effected by which he
will receive some remuneration for his
clever capture in the face of odds. Ari-
motto when registered at the station
house was intoxicated, que to Tanaka' s
supplying him with a plentiful amount
of saki. Meta claims now that Arimoto
was the murderer, and Arimoto makes
counter charges. and admits that he
was present when the deed was done.
Arimoto's case comes up in the police
court this morning.
