SOUTH AFRICAN BLUE BOOK.
Contains Some Significant Utterances
BefOrc Outbreak Of the War.

LONDON. January 31.-A blue book was
issued yesterday relating to South Africa,
and covering the period from March last
to the present month. Its most interesting
feature is letter from Sir Alfred Miner to
Mr. Chamberlain, dated November 80, in
which he says:
Il have always regarded a war with the
republics as a very formidable war indeed
owing to the colossal ornaments of the
Transvaal. In view of these 1 could not
but anticipate terrible struggle-the last
thing In the world to which l or any man
could look forward otherwise than with
the gravest solicitude.''
In the course of the same letter Sir AL
fred Milner describes the Transvaal as "a
huge arsenal" 1t is also worthy of note
that on August q he wrote to Mr.. Schrei-
ner the Cape premier. saying: Like your
self 1 do not expect war"

A week ago Columbia was tied with two
others for second position, and SO it has
gone through this entire strange season.
There has scarcely been a day since the
league bowling commenced that there have
not been ties in the standing. This is but
evidence Of the closeness Of the race The
separating gap between the leading and the
end clubs Is not so great but what the DO
sltion Of either might be reversed before the
close Of the playing. With Monday nights
games the first half Of the season came to
d close. each club having bowled thirty
games. 1t has been an unusually interest
ing season. a very successful one. and the
utmost harmony has prevailed among the
clubs and players. Saturday The Star will
print the records Of the league to the close
OF the half. and they will prove Of consid-
cradle interest
Columbia lost Monday night in the first
game through inability to bunch the strikes
and spares. Easy spares were frequently
missed. and while this was being done the
home team was working steadily along and
continually making the spare shots which
its opponets missed. Rodrick had a great
deal Of trouble with alleys, and in this game,
and. indeed. in all of the games Monday

extent. The SaengerS led throughout The

Speaking of Spanish words some of which
will appear daily in the press, in rela-
ton to our new possessions, 1t has occurred
to me that The Star could pioneer a new
and much-needed departure in the spelling
OF those words in which the "enya" IN
with flourish over it, and double | oc-
cur. The use of our n in such words as
senior, nrst syllable Of manana, canon, etc,
is incorrect. 1t is not the character used
by writers of Spanish, and does not indi-
cate the sound to be given that letter. In
the single word canyon" the American
press has overcome the difficulty Why not
extend that to senyor, manyana, senyorita,
dcnya, cavalyero Qnstead of cavallero),
and all other words where those charac-
tiers indicate that the sound of "y'' really
enters into the pronunciation of the word?
It Is not practicable to introduce Spanish
accented" letters into common use. and
the vast majority of readers would not
know what they mean: while canyon, etc
would be readily understood and properly
pronounced. 8. WEAVER

TO MOBILIZE THE FLEET
Plan Discussed in the British Cabinet Meet
ing Last Saturday.
News of This ArOuses Speculation as
to Its Cnuse-Eighth Divi-
sion Delayed.

LONDON, January Silt is now known
cussions on Saturday to the mobilization CT
the fleet. Nothing was settled except that.
until further security to the home coasts
has been obtained by naval preparations,
the Sth Division shall not be sent to South
Africa
On Monday the admiralty issued orders
that the channel squadron, instead of leay-
previously directed, shall assemble on Feb
ruary off Eddystone. and proceed to Ban
try for a fOrtnight's exercise off the Irish
coast. thus keeping 1t in home waters for
time.
This decision to delay the Sth Division at
a time when achievements are so Urgent
ly required may mean only that transports
are not yet available, and that the division
will embark when the shipping is ready.
The mobilization of reserve warships If
such a course shall be determined upon,
would be of the utmost Importance. There
is nothing in the intelligence possessed by
the public to cause the cabinets prolonged
discussion of this matter. and the inference
is that the fleet may be modified gen.
eral warning to other countries to keep
their hands off the TranSvaal question, or
the ministry may have definite knowledge
that the neutral powers purpose to take
some advantage elsewhere while England
is busy in South Africa.
One thing is certain. Ten thousand men,
all ready to go to South Africa, are de-

FLIGHT OF THE COURT.
Panic Stricken Journey From PeISing
Occupied Twcnty-four Days.

PEKING, Oct. 30.-Prince Su, who
accompanied the Chinese court in the
fight to Tui-yuen-fu and aftcrward re-
turned here, dshcartened by the anarchy
existing among those composing the i'm
mediate advisers of the throne. gave in
the course of an interview today an inter-
esting account of his journey.
"On the first day." said Prince Su, "the
court travelled in carts 20 miles north. es-
corted by 5000 soldiers. who pilaged,
murdered and committed other outrages
along the entire route. The flight was
continued at the rate of 20 miles day to
Hsuan-hua-fu in the most panic stricken
manner. So little authority was exerted
that the soldiers even stole the meals pre-
pared for the emperor and the empress
dowager. The execution OF several for
murder and pillage eventually brought
them under control.
"The court remained three days at
Hsuan-hua-fu, some advisers counseling
further stay. They were, however,
overruled owing to the fear of foreign
pursuit. and the flight was resumed to
Tai-yuen-fu, with 10000 additional
troops under General Tung Flu Hsiang,
who added to the discord.
"The empress dowager did little else
but weep and upbraid her advisers. The
emperor reviled everybody. The journey
occupied 26 days, the longest route being
taken owing to fear of pursuit.
"On arriving at Tai-yuen-fu great diff
Guilty was experienced in forming any
semblance Of government. Many edicts
were ignored, and affairs reached state
Of absolute chaos. The emperor would
have preferred to trust himself to the al
lies, but he was compelled to join in the
| flight"
Prince Su does not believe that the
court is going to San-fu. He thinks the
plan is to return by circuitous route
through southern Shansi and northern
