n threatened. He wears no uniform.
The same old SLOUGH hat which he
wears when he oversees the pasturing
of his herds he retains when he goes
into battle His uniform consists of
cartridge belt.
Only a trained eye can distinguish a
Boer general from a Boer farmer. By
the umbrella under his arm and the
ration bag over his back you know
that he intends to travel on the veldt.
BY his rifle and cartridge belt you
know that he expects to do some
shooting, but whether it is game he
seeks or the hated rooineks you may
not guess. not even by the way he
puffs at his pipe. for he would smoke
calmly in either event.
What would the British think if one
of their generals went to war with an
umbrella under his arm, rifle and car
fridge belt over his shoulder and pipe
in his mouth? Yet that is just the way
the Boer generals go to war, and it
must be admitted that their queer &C
couterment does not prevent them
from winning victories.
Generally these Boer leaders go on
horseback. but sometimes they roll over
the veldt in rubber tired spider bug
gies drawn by six or eight mules. Their
camp equipment is very simple. The
whole lighting outfit of n general and
his staff is often carried in one OK wag
on. But the Boer army is very mobile,
as has been recently shown. 1t is not
numbered with heavy baggage trains.
Perhaps this is why the Beers are able
to move their heavy artillery about SO
easily.
OF course the most prominent of the
Boer leaders is Pietrus Jacobus Jou-

In Egypt and the Sudan instead of in
India He is not soldiers officer.
In fact, he is personally unpopular
with his men, but they nave great
confidence in him. and when they
know he is planning things they are
generally sure that all will be for the
best, with victory at the end.
Kitchener is a second Moltke in the
machinelike precision of his calculat-
ing mind He is Il brilliant example of
the scientific soldier, the civiliZing, rail-
road building. administra ting modern
Caesar and also the genius incarnate of
military organization. He is known as
the general who leaves nothing I'M
done" One of the secrets of his sue
cess is the fact that he always makes
1T point to master the vernacular of
the country or district in which he may
chance to be campaigning.
The brilliant Sudan campaigns of this
remarkable fighter are of too recent a
date to be eXpatiated on here. Fifteen
gears of hard work, it must be remem-
bered. preceded his brilliant victory at
Omdurnan- But in South Africa there
was no chance for preparation. He
finds nothing but fighting cut out for
him.
OF the other British officers COM
handing divisions in the war against
the Beers only those who have recently
arrived have succeeded in preserving
the regulations which they took with
them to the lower end of the dark con-
tinent. When General Sir Redvers
Butler was sent to take command,
great things were expected of him.

however, than anything else was his
march to kandahar. He had captured
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, aft
err the massacre of the English envoy
there, Sir Louis Cavagnari, when news
was suddenly brought to him of the
crushing defeat of General Burrows at
Maiwand, the routed forces, which
had lost their guns, being compelled
to take refuge in Kandahar, where
they were besieged by Ayub Khan.
Without Il moments hesitation Lord
Roberts started with a force of 10000
men from kabuI to relieve Kandahar.

GENERAL WARREN.


he expected great things of himself.
But England's confidence in Butler has
been shaken.
General Butler was known prior to
recent events as one of the fighting
aristocrats. He gained the Victoria
cross and most Of his reputation by
fighting the ZuluS. He has found the
Beers a very different proposition.
Early in his career he won favor with
Lord Wolseley. This was during the
China war of 1860. He also took part
in the Red river expedition and was
chief of staff in the Gordon relief ex-
petition of 1884. But whatever pres
tige he ever had has been sadly dim
med.
General Methuen's reputation, which
went down in that catastrophe on the
Modder river. was. it might almost be
said, a heritage. He comes of a dis
tinguished family of soldiers and dip
lomats. AS the heir to a peerage it
was a comparatively easy matter for
him to gain promotion when he went
in for an army career. His active serv-
ice consisted of Il few months during
the Bechuanaland campaign. when he

Kruger on his memorable visit to Eng
land, when the demand for the indie
pendence of the republic was formulat-
ed. This demand was finally refused.
and on Dec. 30, 1880, Kruger, Joubert
and Pretorius formed themselves into
public independent.
Then came the memorable war, with
Laingsnek, Insoga Rion and Majuba
Hill following in rapid and fatal Sc
Quence. Joubert was the hero of Ma
juba Hill. He personally led the force
that dealt England the blow she has
neither forgotten nor forgiven.
--uert organized the army OF the
Transvaal. He divided the country into
Il military departments and each de-
partment again and again into smaller
divisions, with commanders, field cor
nets and lieutenantS of various ranks
tive affairs and his salary $1,000
year. This is an emolument in addi-
ton to his post in the army. In war
and peace the commandant is fierce
man. His freely expressed opinions
are as fiery as his fighting, and the
Beers all love him for his extreme
conduct in both directions. General
Cronje has been in command of the
Boer forces along the western border
since the opening of the war. 1t was
his force which checked Lord Methuen
at Modder river.
The leader of the Orange Free State
burghers is General Evart r. Grobler.
Although a young man, he has been

FARMERS. statesmen and soldiers
you may apply this description to any
one of the men who are leading the
Boer forces in the field, and it will fit
equally well IN each case.
Nothing is more striking than the
difference between the English and
Boer generals. The former is mill
tary aristocrat who chose his profess
sion early i'll life, was educated for the
army and has spent his years in the
ranks. He wears an imposing uni
form. all Slitterins with gold braid and
shiny buttons. He pins splendid med
ais on the breast of his dress coat uni
form, and he has titles before and let
tiers after his name.
The Boer general is as democratic
as any man in the ranks under him.
He is a soldier only when his country

summons from farm to farm. Within
4S hours the entire nation would be in
arms, fully equipped and provisioned
for a month, awaiting only the COM
mand to assemble.
In appearance Joubert is about )
feet 9 inches in height, stoutly built,
has bushy gray beard and a face
tanned by the African sun. There is
not an ounce of superhuous flesh on
his person. He is as strong as an OK
and possesses an endurance that is re-
markable for a man of his age.
There is not an inch of the Trans
vaal that Joubert does not know, and
now, in his sixty-eighth year, he is as
full of fire and fight as he was in 1881,
when he defeated the British at Ma
juba HILL.
Two years ago he said to an English
correspondent:
''If you force us into war. every
Dutchman in South Africa will fight
against you. Even the women will
fight. You may take away our lives,
but our independence, neverr
This is the kind of man who is lead
ing the burghers on to battle for their
fatherland. Behind and beside him
are other men of like caliber, men who
are patriots to their hearts core and
who know not when they are beaten.
Second in command of the Boer
forces and second in popularity in the
two republics is General Pietrus A.
Cronje. He is the man who captured
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-06-09

very large man. He is 6 feet incDeR
tall, and his frame is in due proportions
to his height. There is not an ounce OF
supe-fiuous flesh on his bones. and his
burgherS frequently assert that be is
the strongest man in the country His
weight is somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 200 pounds. His every move
ment seems to tell of the frankness Of
his disposition, and a glance at his
cOuntenance is sufficient confirmation
of the burgher tales of his answering
honesty.
General Schalkburger is another
Boer general who left his farm for the
front He commands a division Of the
Transvaal burghers and was one Of the
first to cross into Natal. At one time
his force threatened to sweep clear to
PietermaritZburg. 1t was Schalkbur-
ger who first checked Butler at the
Tugela river.
Among the other Boer commandments
is General Pretorius. a son of the grim
old fighter who was one of the pioneer
warriors of the Transvaal and after
whom Pretoria was named
in charge. Every man in the Trans
vaal became a trained soldier without
leaving his farm. Every man had his
complete equipment ready at home
Every man was pledged to appear at
an appointed spot at the summons.
To mobilize the entire force of the
republic Joubert had to send only II
kilograms. The word passed down the
line, and in an incredibly short time
hundreds of post riders carried the

the affairs of the empire could reach
such a grave crisis as to bring him
from practical retirement would have
been laughed at as absurd. Yet such q
crisis has occurred, and Lord Roberts
is again in harness.
"BobS," as he is affectionat ely called,
is the idol of the nation. At the queens
jubilee, when he was in the procession
to St Paurs, he received almost as
much of an ovation as did the aged
queen herself. lie is a soldiers officer.
His very name inspires Tommy At
kinS to deeds of valor.
This man, who was selected from q
list of eight field marshals and IA full
fledged generals and has been sent to
save the destiny of the British empire
in South Africa. is a small, tanned,
wiry, withered up little man of about
five feet in the perpendicular. and he
weighs but little over 100 pounds. His
full name is Frederick Sleigh Roberts.
Like so many English officers, Lord
Roberts may be said to have laid the
foundation for his military career on
the cricket fields of Elton and at 10

for several years a notable figure in
the commercial legislation and mill
tary affairs OF the little republic.
General Grobler is decidedly versa
tile in his attainments. He is a grain
grower. an ostrich farmer. a stock rails
er and 4 diamond mine owner. AL
though only SO years old, he has been
an influential member of the volksraad
sitting for Philopolis. He is described
as man of intrepid and logged tenn
permanent. able, shrewd, but withal
conservative. He is descended from
Dutch and Huguenot stock. He speaks
and writes fiuently Dutch, English,
German and French. He is also ac-
complished in the vernacular of many
of the native tribes around the Free
State.
He is nearly six feet tall, of slight
build, erect and is man of active ply
sique and quick mental conception. His
home in his native land. for he is Boer
bOrn-a native of the soil for which he
is fighting-iS one of open hospitality.
General Grobler was the Orange
Free States commissioner to the
Worlds fair at Chicago in 1898. He
has had much to do with matters OF
transportation over the line of railway
between Cape Town and the Free State
and in arranging the customs troubles
between the two countries.
He took a prominent part in the de-
velOpment of the Jagersfontein dia-
moSG mines. He has one Of the largest
ostrich farms in South Africa.

nominal commander in chief of the Or
xnge Free State burghers, is more of

The officers who are now leading the
British force in South Africa against
the Beers are the pick of the army
list. 1t is quite true that the first divi-
sionS sent out were commanded by
men who were better known as war
office pets" than as fighting leaders.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-06-09

For the space of three weeks this ex-
peditiOn disappeared entirely from hui
man ken At length it emerged from
the trackleSs and, for the most part.
waterless regions between Kabul and
Kandahar and under the walls of the
latter city fought a battle and won a
brilliant victory, inflicting a crushing
defeat upon the AfghanS.
This is not the first time that Lord
Roberts has been ordered out to South
Africa. He was assigned to the chief
command there after Majuba Hill, but
on reaching the Cape found that the
Gladstone government had in the
meantime concluded peace with the
Beers.
In many ways the direct antithesis
of Lord Roberts is General Horatio
Herbert Kitchener, lord of Khartum,
who is second in command. He is
more than six feet in height for one
thing. His reputation has been won
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-06-09

commanded Il cavalry force which he
organized himself and which was
known as MetlIuen's Light horse.
General William Forbes Gatacre,
who met his Waterloo at Stormberg,
has seen service in india. He also
served under Kitchener in the Sudan.
General Gatacre was born in 1913
and entered the army when he was 10.
From 1870 to 1879 he was instructor in
surveying at the Royal Military col
lege, Sandhurst; quartermaster general
at AlderShot during the following year,
and military secretary to the COM
mander in chief at Bombay in 1881.
General Kelly-Kenny. in command of
the Sixth division. is having his first
experience in South Africa. He served
in China and in Abyssinia.
General Sir Charles Warren, whose
name will henceforth be associated
with the disaster at Spion hop, was eX-
pected to be an invaluable assistant to
Butler, for he had the reputation of
knowing South Africa as well as any

bert ''Slim Piet" he is called in the
Transyaal The slim" means shrewd,
crafty. Ask the English if the nick
name is not an appropriate one.
Joubert is IS years old and, with the
addition of some polish, is Il typical
BOer. He comes of an old French HUI
guenot family, long settled in South
Africa, with Il strong infusion of Dutch
blood. Like President Kruger, he was
born in Cape Colony. He was bred on
a farm and began life as a farmer.
But his innate ability soon lifted him
into public life. He became state at
torney to the South African Republic
and afterward vice president. He has
long been ambitious to be president
and in 1893 came within SS1 votes of
winning this honor from the great
Kruger himself. Joubert is very pop
ular.
In the late seventies, during the trou-
bles with England that eliminated in
the war under the memory of which
England has Slnarted ever since, jon
bert became a very prominent figure in
Transvaal affairs. He accompanied

Boer. He served there against the
KatfirS and as a member of the Royal
engineers surveyed the new boundaries
of Griquala land West when that terri
tory was taken from the Orange Free
State.
Such are the leaders who are con-
Quoting the campaign against the
Beers.

GENERAL LORD ROBERTS.

GENERAL LORD ROBERTS,.
But there has been n change of policy
since Magersfontein and Modder River.
In the early days of the war the
British spoke of the expedition" which
they were sending to the Transvaal.
That was when Butler was talking
about eating Christmas dinner in Pre-
toria. The English have ceased to re-
fer to the war as '.an expeditions"
also they have summoned their best
fighting leaders and sent them to the
front.
Fine looking leaders these men are,
too, each and every one with his repu-
tation, his title and his glittering med
ais. Alas, many of them have left only
their titles and their medals! Their
regulations, won in India for the most
