eived with incredulity that Boer
women are actually fighting side by
side with their husbands, sons and
brothers.
Dom Pauls warrior women give
rather sharp shock TO our notions
of "civilized warfare" but they have
had historical prototypes in plenty
The Amazons of Dahomey who not
SO long ago gave the French troops
a very trying experience, or the Gu
ban women who fought in consider
able numbers against Spain, come
at once to mind. One of the most
startling features of the great Com
munist rising in Paris in 1871 was
the appearance of women fighting
stubbornly behind the barricades.
joan of Arcs martial achievem-
ents belong to medieval times, but
they have had many modern imita-
tors. "Mother Ross" was squa-
dron leader of the Scots Grays und-
er Marlborough at the battle of
Blenheim. British army records
preserve her name and exploits to
this day, as also of several other Wo-
men who fought in its ranks or as its
officers diguised as men. Mary Di-
xon's is famous among them. She
has a record OF sixteen years. service,
ending at Waterloo, which battle
she survived for fifty years. But
the most celebrated of all British
women warriors is CDR. James Ba
rry,n as she was known on the rolls.
She served as regular army sur
geon IN many arduOus campaigns,
and it was not until after her death
in 1866 that her sex was discovered
and officially reported to the Horse
Guards.
"WOmen ought not to vote bee
ause they cannot fight" is not a rea.
lily strong syllogiSm, 10 view of the
fact that aromen have actually done
considerable soldering in the past
and are doing some now on the
South African veldt.

Beers while asleep they beat back
the latter, who were obliged to get
reiniOrcements of Maxlms and Nor
denfeldts. The despatch adds:
"There was no question Of surren.
der. The leader of the natives, a
tall, spare man, rallied his men to
the last, and the fight progressed
from the rising to the sinking of the
sun. Those twenty five Fingoes,
armed with obsolete rifles, fought
with grim desperation. Machine
guns and Mausers poured shot and
shell into their midst. Until their
ammunition was finished, the nativ-
eS fought, and then the Beers killed
them to a man, except one, woun-
ded, who, hiding in the reeds, esca-
ped.
Oen' Ouynan cOmplalneO OF
Col. Baden Powell's employed bar
barians, who Killed six and wounded
numbers Of Beers. Col. Baden
Powell replied that the raid was not
authorized, and pointed out that a
number OF natives we're destitute be-
cause their homes had been burned
and their cattle stolen by the Beers.
He declined to be held responsible
for the natives actions.
"Diafeking may he forgiven if it
begins to prefer some attempt at
relief, rather than empty congratul-
ations for It's gallant stand. Though
there is only sufficient to keep body
and soul together, it will never
dream of surrender. But it is verv,
very weary Of it ALL"

Mafeking Defenders
Hardships.


+ The arrival Of Mafeking despat-
ches has renewed the interests and
anxiety in regard to the fate of its
defenders. Lady Sarah Wilson'S
account of the slaughter of thirty
three natives who when out from
Mafeking last Fryday to recover
some cattle which had been looted
by the Beers, and who, while they
were sleeping, were surrounded by
the burghers and shot without quar-
ter, apparently harshly misrepresen-
ted the action of the Beers. A des.
patch received by the Associated
Press from Mafeking says that the
natives in question were unauthor.

Brighter Prospect OF Averting

United States and Turkey seem to
be rather more long drawn ont than
would have seemed possible fetc
weeks ago. 1t does not appear that
either side made has yielded, or even
shown any disposition to yield the
main point in controversy-namely,
the settlement by Turkey of the
amount OF indemnity demanded by
the United States in settlement of the
claims of the missionaries to Arm.

Kurdish ontrages there. And yet
spirit of concession seems to have
grown up on both sides which may
yet lead to a peaceful solution of the
difficulty.
! he Sultan has been very suave,
plausible and diplomatic in his att
itude toward the American Govern
ment. He has even assured that
Government that if the facts had been

the United States, that is, if he had

tly settle, the matter. But be insists,
as does his principal Minister, that
there has been misunderstanding
as to this, and that while he never
denied the possible equity OF these
claims, what he intended to intimate
to Mr.. Stranss, the United Safes
Minister, was that he would/have a
thorough investigation made and
that if, as result Of such inVestig-
alton the claims were found to be
just, he would pay them. He reiter
ates even now bis acillingress to do
this. In addition, he has made
important concessions in the matter
OF the rebuildings in Armenia, and
has in many ways manifested what
appears to be serions disposition to
be well disposed towards the United
States.
In view of this attitude on the
part of the Sultan, the Government
of the United States, while it will
not yield dollar of the just claims
Of the missionaries, and while it will
not admit that there could be any
mistake as to the defniteness of the
promise made by the Sultan, is yet
evidently inclined not to be quite so
peremptory in its demands as at
first, and seems unwilling to proceed
to the harsh alternative of an ultim
atum, but rather to give the Sultan
all reasonable time possible to make
up his mind to settle peaceably.
At any rate, the prospect of avert.
ing war seems much better than it
did some time since.
