Timothy Henly Called II war
Begun In Braggndocio and
Hypocrisy.

London. December 1l.--When the house
CT commons went into committee OF sup
ply today william st. John Broderick,
secretary of state for war, introduced
the supplementary estimates OF G4S,oVo'-
900 for the army. He anticipated that the
expenditure to March 81 would be little
short of the outlay the government had
been mourning during the whole hscal
year. He added that the government
policy was 10 pursue the war with .he
s,IeAgese possible force ana continuous
stream OF supplies, so that peace may Tue
more quickly be achieved. Mr. Broder-
lex adaed that he believed that the gov.
eminent was now asking for the maj
sum required for this abnormal war.
Sir william Vernon Harourt, liberal.
expressed the opinion that the house mad
not heard a more distressing confession.
Although his original opinion of the cir
cumstances leading to the unhappy war
was not altered. he would oppose pne
vote. The whole secret of the govern
nlent's miscalculaions. he said was this
lit was In nowse warfare OF govern
ments, but a conflict of races. He Thought
now that they had overthrow the gey-
ernments OF the republics by overwhelm
ing force of arms, they should deal with
the brave burghers remaining, not by
peipetualy increasing the expenditure,
but by policy of reconciliation.
Sir Henry Campbell Banuerman said
the secretary Of state for war had made
a frank statement as to the real condi-
tion of affairs and he expressed hope
that the government would bring home
the volunteers.
Mr. Frederick replied that it would be
Impossible for the government to give
any pledge on that point. az Lord Kitch-
ener must be kept supplied with many
mounted men,
Timothy Healy remarked "A war be-
gun in bra gadocio and hypocrisy has
brought humiliation to England, and the
culprit Is In the colonial office"
Henry Lsbouchere expressed the opin-
ion that Guerrilla warfare n South At
RIGA might last for two years. The sup
elementary estimate CT $500 900 was
then adopted by vote Of 2S4 against 8.

exchequer Sir Michael Hicks Beach, ex-
1 planned that the existing borrowing pow
ers of the chancellor only amounted to
G5,000, 600 He moved therefore, a Feso-
luton authorizing him to borrow by wal
loans exchequer bonds or treasury bills
TO the amount of Eli 100000. He said he
did not expect TO use his borrowing pow
ers until February or March

In the second chamber today to the in

tice Of which was given yesterday, on

the history OF the misunderstanding,

ber II that Portugal desired to with
draw the exequatur Of Herr Post as
consul Of The Netherlands a. Lou

CT The Netherlands would ohviate the
necessity by dismissing or recalling Herr
Post As The Netherlands government
had no official information that Herr
Post had permitted, as alleged, the I'M
portstion OF contraband OF war, II could
not accede TO the demand for his re-
call without further inquiry, and 1T
therefore instructed the minister at
Lisbon to cable to Herr Post, asking
him TO clear UP the matter. Herr Post
then applied for leave to come 10 Europe.
which was granted, and The Neither
lands proposed to Portugal that an in
vestigation be made during the consuls
visit and that three months be allowed
for the rendering of report on the
subject.
The government OF The Netherlands
supposed Portugal approved Of thi, pro
posal and was surprised to learn shortly
afterwards that Portugal insisted on
withdrawing the exequatur of Herr
Post
Tho foreign minister explained that
