staff of General Macarthur saw much active fight
ing. lectured evening at the St. Georges Mems
Club, No 207 East Sixteenth-st., Campaigning
in the Philippines"
The lecture. which was Illustrated with stereop-
tcOn views dwelt the cause Of the breach be-
tween the insurgents and the Americans and the
consequent conflicts UP to the taking of Malolos.
The Fpinos took the initiative he said, in the
agreement that armed persons should cross each
others lines. The insurgents continually annoyed
the outposts OF the United States, coming up close
to the line of demarcation and jeering at the
guards, daring them to shoot and edging nearer to
but never quite touching. the danger point. One
night noise was heard in house within the Amert-
can lines and the soldiers investigated its origin.
They found that drunken insurgents were revealing
in the building Because OF the condition these IN
truders were in, the United States troops did not
fire but led them beyond the lines. The next day
General Macarthur sent Major Strong special
messenger to visit the enemy's headquarters and
to protest against this violation of the agreement
The reply was an assurance Of a future observance
of the compact but the very next night, at about
the same place the insurgents tried to break
through the American lines. But they did not get
far for the Nebraskans fired upon them, driving
them back Then began a dreadful night for the
off1cers in command and the women and children
in Manila.

AMERICAN FLOUR RELEASED
FooDSTUFFS NOT CoNTRABAND UNLESS
INTENDED FOR THE ENEMY.
FORMAL REPLY MADE BY THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT TO THE NOTICE OF

FORMAL REPLY MADE BY THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT TO THE NOTICE OF
THE UNITED STATES.
London. Jan. 10.-The American -four seized
off Delagoa Bay has been released.
The United States Ambassador, Joseph H.
Choate, had interview with the Marquis Of
Salisbury this afternoon and received a verbal
reply to the representations of the Washington
Government. The British note on this subject
was sent later to the United States Embassy
The gist of it cabled to Washington. In
brief, foodstuffs are not considered contra band
OF war unless intended for the enemy
The Foreign Office only arrived at q decision
to-day and it was not until after Mr. Choate's
interview had ended that note embodying the
provisions was drawn up. Several of the Gov
ernments advisers wanted to make a regulation
regarding canned goods. but this decided to
be impracticabe. The decision to make flour
and grain in transit to the enemy contraband is
evidently hedged in by many difficulties Of exc
cution. But the Foreign Office believes that in
vestigation will generally determine whether the
grain is really meant for consumption at Lou
renco Marques or in the Transvaal.
Mr.. Choate cabled Lord Salisburys note to the
State Department at Washington tonight, and
Secretary Hay is expected to reply accepting the
terms. The latter step not taken by Mr..
Choate as he had first to receive authority from
the State Department to do so.
The Times" in a special article dealing with
the Delagoa Bay question, expresses the opin-
ion that the endeavor of the Beers to overrun
Natal lends confirmation to assertions made be-
fore the war by prominent Beers that they
would seize Durham as a port. The article pro-
ceeds to point out that by the through rate
system, specially favorable to Transvaal ship
ments Over the -Transvaal Railway
German shipowners have been able to secure
traffic with little risk of examination at Cont
mental ports or at Delagoa Bay. The writer goes
on to say:
It is known that in anticipation OF future
military developments in the Transvaal toward
the Zoutpansberg district a considerable amount
of stores and munitions of war have been for
warded for some time past, chiefly from the
Continent
1t is understood that the Union Steamship
Company, besides ceasing to have Herr Pott,
the Transvaal Consul General at Lourenco
Marques as its agent has withdrawn it's
Castle company has done the same and made
arrangements that will prevent any use at Del
agoa Bay of it's vessels for anti-British pur-
poses Measures in the same direction have
been taken with regard to the Empresa Landing
Company. The withdrawal of the steamers or
two British mail companies may, however, in
crease Great Britain's difficulties by throwing
the carving trade still more into the hands OF
Continental shippers and diverting business to
America for handling by foreign steamers from
American ports.
The article concludes by again urging the
Government to endeavor to secure more strict
examination

if an angel from heaven told him it was pos

angel was drawing upon his imagination. 1t
was not true he added, that the War Office had
sent the British army into the field with guns
which placed them at a hopeless disadvantage
with their enemies. He did not claim that the
army system was perfect, but the critics ought

the problems with which Continental headq-ar-

For the first time in the history of the world
the country had to meet enemy entirely
mounted and il true that if Great Britain
had entered into the war with a vast number
of mounted soldiers it would have long before
been concluded. Hereafter, also. it would be
recognized that guns were not as mobile as
horse soldiers. and that field artillery must be
made mart of the regular equipment of every
army. But, seeing that the British War Office
