American Snys 1t Wns Magnificrnt-The
Beers Dumb 70 III nded.

Bushman's Kop, Monday April g.
Hearing that the waterworks were de-
serted, the correspondent of Reuters
Telegram Agency rode forward to-day.
Arriving at the crest of a hill, volley
was fired at him and moment later a
man appeared at the top of the crest.
Calling on him to stop firing, and say
ing he was unarmed and desired to talk
with him, the correspondent discovered
that this man was an American, who
declared that he accompanied the Beers
only as a sightseer. He said that new
er during his whole life had he witness
ed such magnificent pluck as that
shown by the British Saturday, and he
asserted that not only himself, but the
whole Boer army, were profoundly
touched with admiration at their gall
liant behavior.
1t appears that the Beers never
doubted their ability to capture the
whole British force and were dumb
founded at the courage displayed and
the mastery way in which the force
was able to escape from the death-trap.
The correspondents informant refused
to give any information regarding the
Boer forces or their movements, but 1t
appeared that the present force was de-
tached from Kroonstadt, Joined the La
dybrand force and again divided north
of Thaba NChu, one portion following
the other and meeting Colonel Broad
woods retreating force. The burghers
engaged consisted Of Schoeman's COM
mand, which was accompanied by many
foreigners Commandant John Y. Blake
was present with the Irish brigade and
other foreigners.
The fight was marked by many acts
of individual courage. The first man to
warn the British of the ambush was a
sergeant of the army service corps who
shot Boer dead with his revolver. A
Household cavalry man, who was sum-
moned to surrender, threw his rifle in
his captors face, knocking him over
and escaped.
According to the testimony of eye
witnesses. the Beers shot some of the
prisoners and killed some of their own
men, who advanced to demand the Brit
ish surrender. but the confusion was so
great-the fire proceeding nom all dl-
rections and the Beers firing on the
convoy in which their own men We're
mixed up-that it is impossible to say
exactly what happened.
Explosive bullets have been found in
the bandoiers of some of the Beers who
were captured The enemy pursued the
British for miles, killing, wounding and
taking prisoners. One squadron OF the
Sixth Dragons which entered the ac-
ton 140 strong, mustered at the end
only ten mounted men,
The Beers seemed to be in great
strength throughout the district and are

EXPOSITION WILL OPEN April IL.

No Reason for POstpOnemcnt.

No Reason for POstpOuemcnf.
Paris, April 3.-The state of unpre-
paredness of the exposition was brought
up in the Chamber of Deputies this af-
ternoon. when M. Gustave Chapuis,
radical republican, introduced a resolu-
tion inviting the government to post
pone the opening. He said that in view
of the present state of the works the in
auguration ON April IA was simply a
bait to draw the provincials and for
eigners to see palaces which would not
be ready until a month later.
The minister of commerce, M. Mil
lerand, replied that the organizers had
met with all sorts of difficulties, which
had delayed the progress of the work
Nevertheless, he added, no exposition
had ever been so ready as this one at
a similar period Continuing M. Mil
lerand said: II affirm that on the even
ing of the 18th all the palaces will be
ready and that the majority of the ex-
hibitors will also be ready. The inaug-
and France cannot at this hour with
draw from it's signed engagements. The
invitations have been sent out and it
would not be understood why the ex-
position which is ready should not be
opened on April a.
M. Millerands statement elected loud
applause from the socialists and radi-
Gals and the resolution of M. Chapau
was rejected by vote of 357 to 5S.

KIPLTNG ON JOUBERT.
Two of His Three Verses on the Dead
BOer General.

New York, April 3.-The next issue of
Harpers Weekly will contain a copy
righted poem by Rudyard Kipling on
General Joubert, which was sent by ca
BILE from South Africa. Two of the
three verses follow:
With those that bred, with those that
loosed, the strife
He had no part, whose hands We're clean
of gain,
But subtle, strong and stubborn, gave his
life
To 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,
N6blest his name shall pass from sire to
son.

LITTLE LIGHT ON THE WAR
EXPECTED BATTLE BETWEEN GEN
FRENCH IND THE BOERS.
No News Yet Received of It-PrOspect of
RcmOte-COmmand Ouvier's Brill
liant strategy-British Reluctant TO
Believe That an American Officer Led
Beers,

Beers.
London, April 4---44O a. m.-No news
has yet been received of the expected
battle between General French and the
Beers. There is now but remote pos
slbility or prospect of the recapture of
the guns. This is, however, regarded
as quite trifling compared with present
effects of the disaster. The Bloemfon-
tein correspondent of the Times re-
marks that Commandant Olivier's STRAIT
egy in reoccupying Ladybrand and
Thaba N'Chu was bold and even brill
liant. Most of his force is composed of
Free Staters, and the advantage gained
by them will have a most disturbing
effect on the mind of the Free State
population.
The impossbility of affording COM
plete protection for the moment to all
farmers in the south and southeast Sec
tons of the Free State is recognized at
Bloemfontein. Men who surrendered
under the proclamation of Lord Roberts
are now being punished for the reliance
they placed in the ability of the British
to protect them. AS the correspondent
further remarked, this is hard fate,
and every possible effort will be made
to help them but consideration for the
sufferings of repentant belligerents at
the hands of their fellow countrymen
cannot be suffered to prejudice the mil
itary plans of Lord Roberts,
The Daily Telegraph takes a more
humane view and says: 1T is Just as
important to protect those burghers in
our power who surrendered all means
of defending themseles as it is to win
victories against those who are still in
arms
The Daily Chronicle, whose Cape
Town correspondent joyfully predicted
that the war would be over in three
months, says: "In order to re-establish
our position in the Free State we need
a blirriant success won on the field of
our last reverse"
1t is announced from Springfontein
that the censorship has again curtailed
the dispatches. Therefore important
developments are still pending. The
British public is reluctant to believe
that an American officer led the Boer
forces which attacked the convoy.
The Daily Chronicle says: "Reichs-
mann may be, like some other Ameri- |
cans, in sympathy with the Beers. He
may even have unofficlally advised the
Boer commandant, although this would
have been exceedingly improper, but we
cannot think he would take the COM
mand without previously resigning his
American commission"
There iS little news from other points. |
Mafeking was still beseged on March
20, and there are rumors that General
Butler is preparing to advance.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is not a con-
tagiouS, but only a communicable dis
ease. The contact per Sc of the con-
sumptive individual does not convey
the disease. 1t is now well known that
it is mainly the tuberculosis eXpectora-
ton, which. when dried and pulveriZed
to dust, constitutes the main danger of
infection. The means to prevent infec-
ton from tuberculosis eXpectoration or
saliva-eXpectoratin ting only in proper
vessels, spittoons and pocket TASKS.
proper use of handkerchiefS during
coughing, etc.-are now also UNIVERSAL
ly taught.
1t is absolutely demonstra ted that a
tuberculosis patient, if he takes proper
care of his eXpectoration does not con-
Stitute any danger to his fellow men.
In SanatOria and hospitals exclusively
devoted to the care of consumptives it
is of the rarest occurrence for an at
tendant to contract the disease, the
hygienic precautions being so thor
ough. 1t may indeed be said that in
these houses for consumptives one is
less liable to contract consumption than
outside of them.-Dr. S. A. Knopf in

She Had Her WAY.

There is nothing like a determined
spirit AS the old saying is, What
must be done can be done" The trou-
BILE with most of us is that our minds
are only half made up.
A charming old lady called at a car
penter's shop the other day bearing in
her hand a little basket.
Have you comfortable chair in the
shop?" she asked of the carpenter.
"A comfortable chair?' he repeated
doubtfully.
YES" she sweetly said. 81 have

and after a feeble cheer the leader ask

Mr.. Bowser entered the saloon to find

rose to his feet as Mr.. Bowser entered,
and the number who lined up at the

What Tesla Selected.

Thomas Edison used to have NikOla
Tesla working for him in his studio
near Paris. Tesla came to him one
day asking for work, and Edison, who
needed help. referred him to the fore
man, named Fulton. The latter took
the young foreigner on condition that
he would work. This Tesla did. For
three days and nights he never closed
his eyes. At the end of the first fort
night he had not had 4S hours sleep all
together. and Fulton, the foreman,
made him take a rest. He also said to
the young man that on account Of the
strain they had both been under they
had better have good meal.
Accordingly the foreman and the
student went to well known cafe
on one of the boulevards and got one
of the biggest and thickest steaks pos
sible. 1t was a whOpper and seemed
to be overwhelming for two. Besides,
the furnishings were liberal, and there
was enough good wine. Between them,
erything disappear. and then Fulton,
turning to Tesla, asked him if there
was anything else he would like.
you're out with me. you know, and
whatever you want just order it,
Tesla looked vaguely around for
minute. as if making up his mind, and
then hesitatingly said, "A1r. Fulton. if
you don't mind l would like another
steak."-San Francisco Argonaut.

1T is very sudden, isn't it?"
"Well, perhaps, though / have been

that there was but one man who could
lead it to victory"
"And you are the MANI"
81 am the man, Mrs. Bowser," he re-
piled, as he drew himself up, swelled
out his chest and looked to weigh a
ton. The family cat came out from
under the piano and rubbed against
his leg and arched her back and tried
to look as big as a barrel.
'Well, you'll make a donkey of your

away.

His Mistake as to American Girls.

A Louisville girl who was recently in
Germany met young English officer
who was in the same city. and, in fact,
in the same house with her for two
months. studying German for his pro-
motion. Like most Europeans, he had
the usual absurd ideas about the girls
of this country. who. in the minds of
the untraveled foreigner. are rather
hoyden creatures. who smoke and have
other masculine traits.
After dinner one day in the early ac-
quaintanceship of the couple the Off
Ger offered the Louisville girl a ciga-
rette and upon her refusing it he said:
"Why. l thought all the girls in the
United States smoked
$50 we do replied the girl, "but
never cigarettes, only pipes. If you will
get that pipe off the mantelpiece in the
next room I shall be charmed to smoke
with YOU
Not suspecting the joke she was play
ing on him, the officer brought the pipe
saw the wry faces his friend made in
attempting to carry out the joke that
he appreciated the situation. He was
continually telling the American in a
tone of surprise that she was just like
the girls at home in England, and her
rejOnder was:
