BLUE FOR THE BOERS

Paris. April "a Capt Leon,
the French engineer who had charge
of the Boer artillery and engineers,
aud who was shot in the head during
the siege of Kimberley, arrived at
Marseilles today In an interview
he describes the Beers as "splendld
artillerists.'' He said they never
had more than $4,000 to 10000 men
under arms, and of these they
had lost only 5000, of whom only
600 had been killed
..In my opinion" said Capt Leon
"uniess the Beers win an important
victory near Bloemfontein, they
must be beaten in the end. and
although Pretoria could withstand 8
long siege because it still possesses

times promised to Minister Strauss by
the so!tan. The cote does not fix
time linit for az answer, but its tenor
is not far from the character OF an
ui.imatum. It has produced a great
impression upon the porte which,
however, shows no disposition to
modify the attitude hitherto maintain

Importance of the matter It is pre-.
sumed that the porte's reply will be liz
this sense; and hence it is feared the
Uoited States government vii! be
obliged to take steps TO enforce its de-
mands.
Turkeys decision to aend an officer
to America to study naval construction
is interpreted TO be another sop. 1t is
the revival of an old project to buy a
cruiser in the United States 10 the
price of which the indemnity shall be
included. so that the porte will be at
liberty to say it has not paid the
indemnity. The American govern
ment has already categorically refused
such a compromise, which wenld mean
prolonged negotiations and the drag
giug out Of the matter indefinitely, to
which the United States will not listen.
As regards the iudemoity, it is iu the
pature Of a debt Of honor. IF the
porte wants to bay cruiser, that is a
matter in 90 way connected with the
indemnity.

G Duncan Bellibger,
For the State. Appe|lant.
Columbia, s g., April %, 1900.
Mr. Belinger is not bringing the
matter to the attention of the su-
preme court for the purpose of keep
ing up the litigation against Co
Neal, but he thinks that the
Indictment he framed was correc,
and be wants the supreme court te
indicate whether or not he was cor.
rect Besides. there is an important
principle involved If the supreme
court holds, in accordance with the
line of the circuit court, that Co
Neal had no right to receive money
from convict contracts aud that il
was not specified in the act that this
was one of bis duties, but that it was
specified that it should be turned
over to the board of directors of the
penitentiary. then Mr. Beliingel
thinks the State will have no trouble
in winning it's suit for the recovery
of the money advanced through the
discounting of notes made by the
Ragsdales and paid by the Caroline
National Bank to the State peniien
tiary
The grounds for the appeal will b'
filed later, the formal notice which it
given being all that is necessary tt
secure the consideration Of the ap
peal.
