REFUSED TO SEND MORE TROOPS.
British Government Said to Have De-
clinYd Lord Roberta Request.

ciinsd Lord Roberts Request.
London, Nov. 27.-"We under
stand" says the Daily Express, that
Lord Roberts recently requested the
government to send 10000 regulars
to South Africa to relieve the same
number still in the field, but that his
request was declined on the score of
expense"
After condemning the governments
refusal as ''ruinous economy" the
Daily Express goes on to describe
Lord Kitchener's drastic plan of
operation"
"He will endeavor to isolate the
commandoes,' it says, "and to move
suspected Boer families into garri-
soned towns. He will clear trouble
some districts, confining the popula-
ton in laager if necessary, and will
take or destroy all food supplies,
punish treachery by death or trans
portation, raze villages guilty Of
reasonable acts and destroy all
farms in the vicinity of railway or
telegraph cutting.''

CHAMPION FOR PAUL KRUGER.
President Loubet of France Yields t
Public Sentiment.

President Loubet of France Yields to
Public Sentiment.
Paris, Nov. 27.-In direct opposition
to his cabinet President Loubet has
espoused Kruger's cause by an Off
cial reception to the latter at the
Elysee, and by a prompt return of
the visit he mas set an example to
Europe. While secrecy is maintained
concerning what passed between the
two presidents, it is ascertained that
Kruger appealed to Loubet in strong
terms in favor of intervention, urg-
ing the justice and right of his cause.
Loubet expressed deep sympathy and
intimated that he would use his inf1u-
ence to aid Kruger's cause.
Unlike the president, who is carried
away by public sentiment, Premier
Waldeck-Rousseau scorns public opin-
ion and is unmoved by sentiment.
The scene i'll the cabinet meeting
between Loubet and his premier will
be memorable. With only three
members of his cabinet on his side
Loubet carried the day on the ques-
tion of receiving Kruger as a chief
of state. There is intense excitement
in Paris.
The Conservative Temps declares
that Loubet's attitude changes the
character of Kruger's visit and may
effectively secure Intervention by ar
bitration, and adds: "The skepticism
and egotism of the government may
be forced aside by the current of pop
ular opinion, which, more generous
than the cabinets of Europe, may at
least obtain the same ameliorations
in the terms of peace as those of NJ.
