Co1nmandant Olivier Says He Needs More
Men to Hold Stormberg.
STERKs SPRUIT, Jan. 29.-Command-
ant Olivier of the Orange Free State, in
speech to the Beers at Ladygrey, said
that his men were almost surrounded at
Stormberg, and unless recruits were
forthcoming he would be compelled to
abandon the position.
1t is admitted that in the recent fight
at Iadysmith the Beers lost 1000 killed
and 600 wounded.
Many colonists who fought at Storm
berg have gone back to their farms and
have refused to return to active service
though threatened with death. Among
them are some conspicuous burghers
who originally invited the Free Skaters
to invade Cape Colony.

THE KEY TO !:
THE 'TRANSVA All.
~ !
why DeIagca Nay Figures So
Prominently In the South
African Situation.
BY CHARLES WARNER

TIL: seizure Of German and American
vessels in Dclagoa Bay by British war
ships merely accents the fact that this
little indentation ON the east coast OF
Afrcu was bound to be the scene Of just
such things as have occurred. @' -. :,
Dclagoa Bay has been rightly called
the "kcy to the Transvaal.' Now that
they are at war with Englaad. Which
closes their outlet through Durham. tho,
Beers lind their Only method ~ conf
munication with the outside world Is
through Delagoa Bay. q
The railroad. which runs from Lou
renco Marques, the port Of Delagoa Bay.
to Pretoria, has been very busy OF late.
Long. stout wooden boxes have made Np
much of the freight consigned to Pro
toria. These were heavy boxes and they
were marked mining Machinery" hut
when they reached Pretoria the contents
were uupacked and hurried to the front:
so it must have been queer mining ma
chinery.
or course this suspicious freight came
in steamers. Now, il Great Britain own
ed Deagou Bay. she would allow moth
ing at all to be sent into Pretoria. The
line would be closed as effcctuaIly as j.;
the line running from Durham. If the
TransvaaI owned the bay. it would be-
filled with British warships and the city
Of l.ourenco Marques would either sur
render or be knocked to pieces.
But this important little strip of A.
rican coast happens to be owned by Por-
tugal. and so I.o,lrenco Marques is a
neutral port.
Not only is it the sole port offering any
harborage to men-of-war and to mcr-
chantmen along the east coast Of Africa.
but it is the only port by means of which
the Beers have received both the meif
and the war material that enable them
to continue the struggle against the Eng
fish. True. English cruisers have the
right to stop and examine upon the high
seas any foreign shipping which they
may suspect Of carrying contraband of
war for the Beers. but any real search al

Court Officer Under Arrest Is
Released on the Order of
Governor Taylor.
DEMOCRATS At LOUISVILLE
That City Made the Headquar-
tiers of Governor Bockham
and His Advisers.
Legislature Of That Political
Belief Will Also Hold Its
Sessions There.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 5.--Armed con.
hict between the civil authorities OF
Franklin county and the national guard
| of the state of Kentucky has been
nverted and unless new causes should
come to the front there is small likeli-
hood that the political situation will be.
come as threatening as it has been dur
ing the last SO hours.
Governor Taylor during the morning
ordered the release of Alonzo Walker,
for the possession Of whom Judge Moore
declared that Sheriff Suffer should swear
in a posse and take possession Of the
capitol grounds if such c:.treme action
became necessary. While not recognize
ing in his action the existence Of the
writ of habeas corpus which had been
sworn out in behalf OF Walker Governor
Taylor, by releasing the man, removed
the most
Threatening Sign of Trouble.
The commanding officers of the troops
which guard the capitol grounds are
careful to say that the situation is en-
tirely military affair and that they ex-
tend the writ Of habeas corpus very
little consideration, but whether they
regard it or not Walker is free and
Sheriff Suffer will not be called upon to
summon force in the attempt to secure
his release.
The appalling consequences which
would follow such an effort on the part
of the sheriff was too much for the more
conservative members of the Democratic
party and it was decided during the day
that no matter what Judge Moore
should say as an individual there would
be no attempt to take possession of the
capitol grounds by force of arms. Even
if Walker had been held a much longer
time than he actually was held no
effort, the
Democratic Members Had Decided,
should be made for his rescue after the
writ Of habeas corpus had failed. Both
sides will take rest pending the session
of the Republicans called by Governor
Taylor at London. No Democrats will
attend this until they are taken, there
by the military forces Of the state and
no attempt will be made in this direc-
ton by Governor Taylor until he has
afforded them every opportunity to go
to London Of their own accord. What
will be done when it has been made Ger
tain that the Democrats will not visit
London has not been definitely deter
mined by Governor Taylor.
It is likely that matters will, on both
sides he allowed to drift until after the
funeral Of Governor Goebel.

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr.. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes :
II could see no Improvement whatever.

Much Anxiety Over Conditions in the
Egyptian Army.
PARIS, Feb. ga dispatch to the
Eavas news agency from Cairo confirms
the report that a rebellion had occurred
among the Soudanese troops in Khar-
tcum. 1t says:
There is much anxiety here. There
have been - number of grave incidents,
notably the growing discomfort in the
Egyptian AMY, which has attained to a
mutiny in two Soudanese battalions.
The government has sent Colonel VIM
gato to parley with them. The army
complains of bad treatment and the Sc
cret dispatch of Egyptian troops to
South Africa. It appears certain that
10 Maxims and a large assignment Of
saddles have COMO to Durham, and a
number Of English officers and civil
functionaries have obtained an unim-
tied furlough to go to South Africa,
which is believed to be a breach Of
Egypt's neutrality. The government is
alarmed at the attitude Of the black
troops ard has asked the khet.ive to in
tervcne. The latter has sent a letter
urging obedience, but theanxiety never
ticiess continues. Egypt is almost de-
nu:le;i-of European soldiers.

CONGRESS HAS IT.
Portion Of Philippine Commissions Re-
-. port transmitted by the Pr sident.

Portion Of Philippine Commssion's Re-
' port Transmitted by the President.
WASHINGTON, r b. 3.--The president
has transmitted to congress the first
volume Of the report Of the Philippine
commission. 1t is a volume of SC4 pages
including the appendix and is signed by
Professor Schur1nan, Admiral Dewey,
Colonel DENLY and Professor Worcester.
The principal subject dealt with is the
plan Of government proposed by the
commission which includes discussion
Of the Spanish government existing prior
to the war, the varions reforms desired
by the Flpinos and the constitutions
proposed by them, together with the
conclusions and plans suggested
by the commission. The report
also covers many other matters con-
nected with the social administration
Of the islands, racial characteristics, ed
ucational, secular aud religious orders,
the Chinese in the islands; public
health, currency, etc., as well as the
conditions and needs of the United
States in the Philippines from naval
and maritime standpoint. The second
volume of the report, which will not be
ready for several weeks, will contain q
detailed description Of the climate and
natural resources Of the island. The
chief interest in the report naturally
centers in the plan of government pro-
posed by the commission.
The commission announces itself un.
qualifiedly in favor Of a government Of
the Philippine analogous to that of a
territory OF the United States, with q
governor appointed by the president.
They say it is desirable that the inhabi-
tants of the archipelago should enjoy a
large measure Of home rule in local af-
fairs; their towns to enjoy substantially
the rights and privileges of towns in q
territory.
The provinces should be vested with
substantially functions of a county in a
territory; this system might be applied
to Luzon and Viscayan islands at once
and a beginning might be made on the
coast of Mindanao. The Sulu archipelago
calling for special arrangements with
the sultan, the commission say, need
not be considered in this connection.
The Filipinos could manage their own
town and county affairs through their
own officers whom they could elect with
no help from American officials except
such as would be involved in controlling
central government at Manila. 4he
suffrage should be restricted by educa-
tional or property qualifications or both.
