JOHN MORLEY ON THE WAR
Former Liberal Leader Gays England Made a
Blunder.
He Charges the Government with
Duplieity Since Having Discov-
cred Its Mistake.

A dispatch from London last night says:
John Morley, the former liberal leader, ad-
dressing his constituents this evening at
Forfar, Scotland, made little reference to
the present aspects of the war in South At
RIGA, combining himself chiefly to a renewal
of his indictment of the policy which led
to hostilities.''
He ridiculed "the notion that few Boer
successes entitled the Transvaal to be de-
scribed as a first-class military power"
and declared that "the fact of the Beers
sending the ultimatum no more disposed of
all other questions than the defiance of the
American colonists, in throwing the tea
into Boston harbor disposed of all the
questions of the war of American independ-
euce.
1T Is certain continued Mr.. Morley,
that had the government appreciated the
temper of the Transvaal people and fore
seen what was coming-what we all know
in these black, gloomy days-there would
have been no war. 1t is dreadful but true
that want of decent foresight and decent
/ information led the government to stumble
into war in the dark.
Lord Salisburys menacing speech of
July IS, If applied to great power. could
only have meant war. 1t was absurd, if
the government really believed in a Dutch
conspiracy, to spend time in negotiations
regarding the franchise. The conspiracy
was an aftertLought of the government
conjured up to mask a hideous and ghast-
ly blunder."
In conclusion Mr. Morley declined to
commit himself as to what would happen
in the future, but he warned his hearers
not to be duped by the idea that the Beers,
after defeat would settle down quietly.
With reference to the point at which the
conflict would end. Mr.. Morley observed:
something depends chance which.
l hope, is remote. but is certainly not in
visible, of our being called off to meet dan
gers in other quarters"

regiment returned to Candon that day
by steamer from APART. A majority
Of the men are ready for the hospital.
They are thin and weak, having tray
eled $50 miles in the mountains, during
which they suffered greatly from
hunger. The officers say 1t is all guess
work as to whether Aguinaldo was
shot Before the Americans struck
Sagatt the insurgent chief divided his
forces into parties Of ten, following
different routes. The officer shot was
perhaps Aguinaldo's secretary or adju
tant. The report among the natives
Of the region is that Aguinaldo was
wounded in the shoulder. Papers Sc
cured show that nearly all the presi-
dents installed by the Americans in
Gen. Young's territory are treacher-
GUS, and have been making regular re-
ports to Aguinaldo of the disposition
and movements Of the American
troops, and have been collecting ana
forwarding taxes.
