This impression is altogether changing
the popular attitude with regard to the
rance Russian alliance, and many pa
pers representing the most diverse Opin-
declare that France is paying far
TOO high a price for the friendship of her
%neighbor.
At the present juncture this attitude
of France is important as, if the Franco
alliance breaks down, the whole
face of European politics is changed.

PLAGUE IN GLASGOW.
Cholera and Famine in India, Plague
at Home.

New York. August ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
While India is suffering from one of
the worst outbreaks of cholera ever re-
corded, so that people are dying at the
rate of 1000 a week, Great Britain is
alarmed by the prospect of an epidemic
of bubonic plague within her own boun-
daries. The medical authorities at Glas-
gov have already had several eases an
der their observation. On Monday a
child sickened and died within 4S hours
from an Illness which was at first
thought to be pneumonia, but after a
minute examination by the hospital au-
thorities was pronounced plague.
Another death has occurred, AMI ten
families We're removed to a reception
house for patients suffering from this
disease, which he municipality has has

When the doors were battered down the

When the doors were battered down the
mob flowed in like a tidal wave. Their
were British officers, naval AMI military
soldiers and sailors but principally Chin
csc. In a twlnkling all was pandemonium.
The Chinese knew where the best treas
ures were to be found and the soldiers
followed the n. Two forces collided in the
gateway, a rush line of Chinese strug-
Cling to enter and another line fighting
to get QUIT with an armful of loot, while
an occasional soldier went through the
crowd like one of the Broadway squad.
Looters t1ourished for three days, on
the first day it was entirely unrestrained.
Many white peole accumulated stacks OF
goods by simply standing at the gates OF
the city and holding up the best der
Chinese from the endless procession that
flowed out. Pack horses, carts, coolies
loaded with trunks and sacks and piled
with loose silks. furs and bronzes
crowded all the roads leading down to
the settlements. English officers rode
with their horses. concealed under dry
goods boxes and soldiers slung bundles
on their %bayonets.
On the second day a conference of
commanding officers decided to adopt re-
preSSive measures. The commanders ex-
cept the French, empowered the British.
who We're doing the provost duty to seize
all loot. This order the British attempt
ed to execute by holding up the hooters as
they entered the foreign towns. They
took all bundles and reported the names
of claimants for future inquiry. Natur-
ally this step provoked grunblinG. par
ticularly am ong the soldiers of other IA
tionalities, Captain Bailey, the provost
marshal. explained that the prohibition
was designed to restrain civilians from
getting the spoils which should go to the
men who did the fighting. An official
statement is hat all seized loot will be
held, and proceeds to be divided anon
the soldiers as prize money, bu soldiers
wise through former campaign comment
skeptically.
The Japanese, SO far as casual observa-
ton showed, did the least looting. The
Americans had all to themselves one
large arsenal, which they occupied on en-
tering the city. 1t contained not only
cannon, but a fine store of small arms.
swords, curious ad rich patterns, rifles OF
various makes, with stands Of the Q
two man guns which are simply giant RI
files. throwing a ball which, from the re-
port and whistle. the soldiers in the 1ght
judged to be 1-pounders. All this stun IS
to be sold or shipped to Washington as
spoils of war. ~.
The third day Of the occupation a diff
ferent method was followed by COMPEL
ing looters to give up their loads at the
city gates. but even this measure did not
prevent the loss Of much gold and silver.
Americans seized a million taels
of precious metals, which is piled
up in the marine barracks.
Today the walled city looks as though
a tornado had struck 1t.
enough valuable property has been de-
stroyed to st ock a large city and enough
has been seized to give every soldier q
considerable sum if the distribution IS
administered.

KRUGER MAY Fly
IF BOTHA rs BEATEN 1T MAY END
THE WAR.
IS HOLDING GOOD POSITIONS,
Roberts May Go Home-Buller Will
Then Command in
Africa.

New York, August GA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
There is much inclination to believe
that the operations in which Lord Rob
erts is now engaged against uen. Botha
are destined to form the final stage of
the South African wal from a Pretoria
report cabled to the effect that the Beers
at the capital believe that Botha will
the contest. if beaten on this
occasion, and that Presidents Kruger and
Steyn will then flee to Delagoa Ray. Rut
these rumors have been repeated and
proved fallacious frequently enough be-
fore, and it is impossible to pronounce
oetnltely that the Boer leaders believe
me limit OF resistance to have been
fached. The temperance of DeWet in
the Orange Free State and the activity
of Beers on Buffers communications in
Natal, would rather point the other way.
II 1T had been determined to stake every
thing on the RESULT of Botha's stand in
the Eastern T~ransvaal, it would hardly
seem worth while to revive the
in other quarters.
So far the operations between the Roer
ana British main armies have been some-
what undecisive. Lord Roberts says in
ms dispatch on Monday evening that
the operations are now necessarily slow
on account Of the difficult nature OF the
ountry which forms the scene Of the
OattieS. he, however, considers his adj
vance going On satisfactorily, and re-
cords Gen. Buffers engagement OF the
2.th as an important success. The result
or the days fighting was that the Beers

tlon within their outer semi-circle OF
defenseS, east Of Dalmunutha railroad
station. The question now arises Wheth-
er the British will be able to force the
flghtlng so as to keep the enemy in
position and compel him to accept the
defeat which superior numbers and more
perfect artillery should be able to in
hict, Or ii the nature of the country is
that General Botha can 60 back
from one advantageous position to an
other n possibly be able to retreat in
time to save his guns and Transports.
IL previous experience is a guide. the
Beers. will delay the British advance as
long as they can do 20 safely. but win
then retire at leisure before the invaders
can secure a decisive victory.
Chas. Williams. the well known mill
tary expert. believes Lord Roberts has
the present intention of returning TO
in the cours Of October. 80 as
to be ready to relieve Lord WOlseley on
November l. as cOmmander-in-chief Of
the British army. In such event General
Butler may be asked to resume command
the forces in South Africa.
General Warren writes to the Times
to say that various statements which
recently appeared in the press pur-
porting to be views expressed by him as
TO recent events in South Africa, have
been made entirely without his authority:
that he has not expressed any opinions
with a view to publication. and that
of the statements attributed to him
are contrary to the fact. X
