Unless we desire to drop below Japan we must continue to build ships. Our long coast lines and widely scattered possess sions seem to dectate naval policy that would have been secuted fifty years ago, or even twenty years ago.

OFFERED TO SURRENDER,
Dispatch to London Paper Says COME
So Proposed But Afterwards
Reoonsidered.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The Daily News
has the following dispatch from Mod
der river, dated Wednesday, February
21:
The Boer forces under General COME
are estimated at SOOe men At ls
o'clock he asked an armistice OF "a
hours, which was refused. Later he
sent a messenger to say that he would
surrender.
The British general sent a reply
telling him to come into camp. COME
refused. saying there had been u mis-
understanding and that he would fight
TO death.
The 5ombardment was then reop-
ened and our lyddite shells set fire to
the BOer wagons. We continued she'll
ing the laager throughout the night
and in the morning We resumed with
Maxlms and rifles, principally from the
north side.
ION Sunday there was much waste Of
life in attacking and the same result

Prisoners say that General COME
marched from Magersfontein here
without spanning. a distance Of thirty
three miles. Had he succeeded in es-
Gaping. it would have been one of the

THE REBELLIous KuRps.
Russia Barely Avoided Having to Send
An Army Into Persia.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.--European pa
pers Just received give details OF a re-
cent rebellion in the Persian province
OF kurdistan. the rising being so SER
ious that Russia contemplated sending
troops into Persia.
The Kurds OF the Sowoutch- Boulak
district raised the insurgent banner
against the government of Teheran un-
der the leadership Of FL Kan, Daboukir
Mahour and Bersadas, the chiefs OF
the four principal Kurdish tribes.
These chiefs had received from the
shah honorifc distributions under the
form OF decorations Of high titles New
ertheless, they had preserved their
spirit Of independence. They are rich
and enjoy great popularity. SO that 1t
was easy for them TO group around
them 1860 Kurdish landowners. They
are the blind instruments Of Mirsza
Fetauch, the soul Of the anuPersian
movement In Kurdistan.
The governors OF Ssowoutch- -Boulak
up to this time had recognized the real
authority Of this powerful individual.
Prince Manoutcher- Mlrsza. the new
governor acted as II he did not recog-
nize it.
In order 10 avenge himself, the cum
ming Mirsza Fetauch concealed his SEN
timents. but he ihcited the new govern
ment TO infiict corporal punishment on
one Of the Kurdish boys. This punish
ment was resented by the whole proud
and bellicose nobility OF Kurdlstan. and
was the signal for the revolt, one sin
gle tribe, with its chief. Nomad-Aga
remaining faithful to Persia.
Manoutcher- Mirsza sent the COM
mandsnt OF the troops. General Mushir-
Lachker. TO Aserbejdchau to open ne
gotiations with the rebels. But all
propositions Jailed, and to satisfy the
insurgents. who demanded the recall Of
Prince Manoutcher. the latter was dis
missed from his office as governor. The
Kurdistans then entered Ssouwoutsch-
Boulak and asked by telegraph that
General Mushir-Lachker should take
the place Of Manoutcher.
Instead of complying with their re-
quest, the shah sent them the severe
and energetic semid Khan, who had
already been governor Of the province.
This appointment set fire to the already
troubled situation and then came the
signal for an armed struggle Thanks
to their acquaintances, the rebels en-
tered the city Of Tabriz, the residence
Of the governor, and there were daily
fights with the government troops.
Finally, Semid Khan left his post and
was replaced by functionary, Musul
Mesnaleck, who was in completely with
the insurgents. Tranquility has pre-
vailed from that moment, at least ap-
parently, for the Kurds continue 10
demand a kind Of autonomy with the
right of choosing their governor, which
appointment would merely have to be
approved by the shah.

CHEvELEy, CAMP, Wednesday,
Steady progress OF the relief column IS

The British advance infantry was sub
jected to a severe musketry fire, but
they had evcellent cover and the cas-
ualties were few. The Boers had the
railroad running from Colenso to Bull

er large quantities OF ammunition. The
Beers are well supplied with food. and

pected OF being one OF the men who
held up Northwestern train at Tower
., October II. has been released on
bail and the case against him viii
probably be dismissed, Special Agent
Roley, OF the Northwestern. said he
was confident Crow was not connected
with the robbery. Police Justice Lud-
wig, AT Geneva, where the prisoner was
confined, allowed Crows attorney to
sign mis- bond for $1,000 Tee prelim-
mary hearing Is set for next Monday
morning.
Riley says that Crows arrest was
caused by the statement OF a man who
told Captain LAWN and Inspector
Hunt, of the Chicago poplce depart
ment, that Crow approached him some
time before the robbery and asked him
to enter the plot. Since then Riley
has found that Crow was at work in
the South Omaha packing houses at
the time OF the robbery.
