is determined TO let the dead past bury its
dead. At the very moment. after the chiv-
alrous reception TO the Queen in Ireland.
when an opportunity presented itself to
cement the feeling between the two coun-
tries, Lord Salisbury has misrepresented
Irish claims with cynical and brutal frank
ness, offering an absolute non possumus to
the reasonable demands of Ireland. His
lordship spoke of dangers ahead for the
empire If the forces he mentioned were
to dash on British shores, there is one
spot where they would not be received as
enemies or invaders. He advocated the
formation of rifle clubs. but he will not
permit Ireland to enlist volunteers or 10
bear arms. His proposal. therefore, Is an
insult to Ireland, and so far as the rest OF
the empire is concerned. ii is puerile and
absurd. Irishmen can now see more clearly

rights. 1t is not by conciliation and ap-

Ireland will be remedied.'

respondent called at the home of Charles
F. w. Neely this morning and gave him
the first information of the alleged con-
fession of Corydon NJ Rich in the Cuban
postoffice embezzlement case. Mr.. Neely
listened very attentiveiy to the reading of
the report as published to-day, and gave
an occasional grunt and other expressions
of great surprise and concern, but. as
usual requested that no statement from
him be published in his former paper, the
Morning News. The only thing he said
was that he did not believe the report.
Sentiment here is changing. The general
opinion now is there has been big defal-
cation and that Neely knew of 1t. IL he was
not directly responsible. and that the gov
ernment will be forced TO put some one
in prison. Neely is forty years of age, but
with his smooth face and large form,
standing more than six feet. he does not
look so old.

The Figaro says: "The result is preferable
to combination with very strong Ma

envenom affairs and to prolong a mess. One
can be certain that during the nights be-

WHERE is THE PACKAGEs
stamp Collector Who Saw n Valuable
Bundle from Neely.

CHICAGO May 13.-The Record says:
Government detectives are on the track
of a valuable registered package consigned
by Charles F. w. Neely, who was recently
arrested in New York on the charge of
embezzling $4,000 of the Cuban postal
funds, and 1t is said to have traced it to the
vaults of the Union National Bank of Mum
Gle, Ind. Since the arrest of Nicely this
package has been sought in the hope that
part of the funds might be recovered. It's

either the funds themselves or deeds to
real estate or mines that will clear up the
alleged crooked work Of the ring of men
that is said to have manipulated the postal
funds of Cuba to their personal advantage.
"The manner In which the whereabouts
of the package became known was purely
through the enterprise Of stamp collector
Some months ago the stamp enthusiast,
who happened to be warm friend of
Fletcher Heath, one of the officials of the
Muncie bank, as well as an acquaintance
of Neely, was in the private office of the
bank when the registered parcel was de-
livered On the package were a number of
United States stamps of high value sur
charged for use in Cuba, and which 1t is
now thought were some of the stamps
which Neely was ordered to destroy. The
collector at once pounced on the package,
saying that he wanted the stamps for his
collection. The bank official. however, said
that 1t was not to be tampered with, since
1t was one that Nicely, the treasurer of the
postal department at Havana, had sent to
be kept in the safety vaults of the bank
until called for.
'Then followed a glowing description of

as postal official I'm Cuba. He was report

DURATION OF THE WAR.
Spencer Wilkinson Guesses mt the
Time-Pretorin a Month Away.

NEW YORK, May 13-Spencer Wilkin-
son. of London. in an article on How Long
VIII the Boer War Last?" which will ap.
pear in the forthcoming edition of Leslie's
Weekly, says: I'm the summer of 1861 there
were probably few men in or out of the
United States who foresaw that the war
of secession would last for four years;
If any held that opinion he gained little
credence for 1t at the time. In June, 1866,
only those who had special opportunities of
knowing the condition of the Prussian
army. foresaw that the Austrian empire
would be suing for peace within six weeks
Of the. outbreak Of the then pending hostili-
ties. The duration OF a war depends partly
on the nature of the country in which it is
waged, but much more upon the relative
resources of the two belligerents and the
energy and determination which each of
them throws into it. The last named is
probably the most important factor.
81 have from the beginning expected that
the Beers would make a desperate fight
According to their view, the cause for
which they are in arms is that of their in
dependence, or their national existence, and
for this cause every community will fight
harder. longer than for any other. Great
Britain Is fighting for the unity of her en-
pire and for the moral existence of the
British nation. 1t Is a cause which ap-
peals less directly to the intelligence of
the masses than that of independence and
the disproportion between the resouces of
the British empire and those of the Boer
republics is so great that neither the Brit
ish government. nor the constituencies by
e ~
are able to realize the Importance of ex-
treme exhibitions to bring the war speedily
to an end. In the present case the British
government. the group of politicians in
charge of the nations affairs. is not yet
more than half awake, and If the provision
hitherto made for the conduct of the war
should prove insufficient there would be
considerable delay before fresh exertions
by way of preparation would produce a
visible result
at hardly expect the resistance of the
Boer armies in the field to be prolonged
for much more than three months. but
should not be surprised IL the effective oc-
cupation of the whole country required
further six months of continuous effort.
There are now under the command of Lord
Roberts altogether 10000 men, and even IL
the most liberal deductions be made for
casualties of all sorts. for invalids. for gar
risons left on the communications and f6-
troops stationed in the districts lately dis
affected. and If we allow that there may be
in Natal 10000 to supply a field force of
$1,000. there is still abundant material for
Lord Roberts to attack the Beers with a
force outnumbering their whole army On
the lowest estimate OF what the British
commander In Natal can do, he must hold
fast a respectable fraction OF the Boer
forces. The remainder cannot, without
great danger fight pitched battle against
Lord Roberts. for In that case his attack
