ttach Is Fighting for Kruger.

LONDON, April 3.-The War Office in
forms the Associated Press that it has not
information as to who commanded the
Beers in the affair leading to the capture
of the British guns, near Bloemfontein,
but 1t places no credence whatever in the
report thai a United States attache or any
one connected with the United States gov

the captain to report on all military opera
tons and is virtually a United States rep
resentative. He reached the front about
two weeks ago. and, like the French and
German attaches, is believed to be helping
the Boer forces in whatever way he can.
Captain Reichman was born in Germany.
He came to America in 1881. and the same
year Joined the United States army as a
private. He was first in barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. Within three years

grades of private, corporal, sergeant and
second lieutenant. and. after obtaining a
commission. his promotion was rapid. In
1889 Reichman was graduated from the
Fort L~eavenworth Cavalry and Infantry
School, and after a few years was assigned
10 duty in the school as instructor i'm the
department of military art. He is a deep
student and has written four monographs
upon the subject OF military art. During

STRIKE AT SAN JUAN.


SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April IA crowd
of about 500 persons gathered at a pier I'M
der construction by the E. b. jerks Com
pany, of New York, intimidated the native
carpenters, and forced thirty-five of them
to quit work. The present rate of wages
is $50 for ten hours labor. The leaders
of the movement demanded an eight-hour
day. AT noon to-day a mob of over 10. 600
people assembled and attacked the st.
Thomas laborers. There were $50 police
men on duty, but they made no attempt to
dispense the crowd, and a company of in
fantry was called out to preserve order.
The crowd was not violent beyond beating
a few men. The agitatorS were headed by
Santiago Iglesias, late delegate TO the labor
convention at New York. The laborers
from st. Thomas refused TO return to work,
being afraid of the attacks after hours.
The workmen who were satisfied and will
ing to work were forced out by the So
called union laborers, with the result that
no natives will be engaged. The company
has cabled to the United States for TWEEN
ty-1ve carpenters, who will arriYe on the
next steamer. The pier is nowf protected
by soldiers.

NEW YORK. April 3.-The next issue of

poem by Rudyard Kipling on General Jou-
bert which was sent by cable from South

with those that bred, with those that
loosed, the strife
He had no part whose hands were clean
of gain;
But subtle, strong and stubborn, gave his
life
To a lost cause. and knew the gift was
vain.
Later shall rise a people sane and great.
Forged in strong fires. by equal war made
one,
Telling old battles over without hate:
Noplest his name shall pass from sire to

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 3.-Reports re-
ceived here to-day from the coal mines in
the Pittsburg district, indicate that the
strike inaugurated yesterday against the
dead work scale and the run of mine rate,
has assumed larger proportions than at
first expected. Few mines are in operation.
and fully twenty-thousand miners are idle.
If the strike should continue for a week.
1T is likely that every mill in the P%ittsburg
district, depending on the two coal COM
binations for their supply of coal. will
have TO shut down. There is less than a
weeks supply of coal in the Pittsburg
harbor. The officials of the coal companies
expect to effect a settlement before the end
of the week.
