KRUGER IN GOOD SPIRITS.
Is Full of Confidence and Says Beers
Will Win.


New York. March 2s.-The World
correspondent, who interviewed PRESS
dent Kruger at Pretoria Feb. 2, says:
Mr.. Kruger explained at length the ef-
forts Of the British authorities to seal
up Delagoa Bay, and then told Of the
message he sent to Lord Salisbury con-
corning 1t. He said he refused TO have
any more correspondence with Mr..
Chamberlain, but frequently cabled TO
Lord Salisbury In one cablegram he
asked Lord Salisbury 10 allow food
stuffs to enter through DeIagoa. Bay.
or they would be compelled TO feed the
5000 British prisoners in Pretoria on
maize pOrridge.
Lord Salisbury did not reply, but q
message signed Chamberlain" ex-
planned that the embargo on food
stuffs had been raised three days be
fore. Mr.. Kruger laughed heartily
when he told that the Chamberlain
message was telegraphed back TO Lord
Salisbury with the query: rs this
true2"
The president added: I'VE have not
heard from Chamberlain since" and
laughed Tor fliily half 2 minute
Secretary ReItz then told of d series
OF communications between the presi-
! dent and Lord Salisbury concerning
the prisoners VINO were taken by the
British at Douglas, Cape Colony. and
who, although they became citizens Of
the Orange Free State. are being tried
/ in Cape Town. for high treason. The
president sent a cablegTam directly
to Lord Salisbury demanding that tha
Douglas prisoners be treated only as
prisoners Of war, and not as treason
able subjects of her majesty. and stated
! that If they were executed r6prisalS
would be made.
Lord Salisbury replied that if one Of
the Pretoria prisoners were injured
both President Steyn and President
Kruger would be hanged at the con-
cluSiOn Of the war The president
thought that was harsh language to
use, and according to Mr.. Reitz's state
ment, replied:
Go ahead with your hanging. but
remainder that your son, Lord Edward
Cecil, is in MafeIing."
Mr.. Kruger has no reply to this mes
sage.
My burghers are fighting bravely.''
he said, with much earnestness. and
they viii continue to do so until Great
Britain asks for peace or withdraws
her soldiers We cannot expect to con-
quer several hundred thousand men in
a day. but my burghers are going
ahead rapidly, as you can see by look
ing at the place where we keep our
prisoners
Even as your forefathers fought
against great odds in the revolutionary
war. so are we struggling, and even
as God was with your people, 50 is he
with US. We have fought with Eng
/ land before, and we defeated her sol
diers, and we Will be victorious again. +"

London, March 21.-In the rapid
course Of epoch-making events which

Kimberley, General French's ride TO
Kimberley escaped the minute attention
il would otherwise have received. It IS
said that since 900 cavalry charged
fruitlessly at BaEaklava no such spec
tacular sight has been recorded in the
annals of war. In this case there were
10000, and with them, raising the dust
of the plains. were some forty-tWo
guns. The correspondent Of the Lon

follows:

by one of the speakers that the Repub-

them, but that the Democratic party,

Citizens of Porto Rico.
The next committee amendment was
that which provided that the. Spanish

Mr.. Morgan maintained that the peo-
pie of Porto Rico were citizens of the

! titled to the rights and immunities pre-
scribed by the constitution. The amend4
ment, he said, was a vain and empty

redeem the Porto IlIcaa silver coins il

4 American money for the Porto Rican
/ peso. The amendment proposed to pay
/ 100 cents for the peso.
Mr.. Morgan held that in the proposed
exchange Of coins the United States
was taking advantage of the Porto Ri
/ cans, because the peso contained the
same amount of silver as the American
dollar. The Porto Ricans, he said. are
entitled to 100 cents for their pesos
! because that amount of silver in money
would be worth 100 cents on the dollar.

/ took the same position.
Mr.. Foraker maintained that the po-
/ sition of the Democratic senator's was
/ not correct. There was no intention to

eral to the Porto Ricans.
