Sketch of Joubert's Career.
Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, command
ant general of the Transvaal forces, bet
ter known as Piet Joubert, or "Slien Piet'
(slim Peter), was born about GO years ago.
He was descended from an old French
Huguenot family which settled in South
Africa many years ago. He was born in
Cape Colony, but was taken by his par
ents. when seven years old, to the Or
ange Free State, where he was taught
from early childhood to shoot straight and
hate the British.
He is described as having been utterly
fearless. OF schooling, he had but little.
and he never saw newspaper until he
was 10 years old. In spite of this, his am
bition prompted him to read the few books
he could obtain. and he succeeded in OBJ
tanning a fair knowledge of history and
| languages.
Favored by the Natives.
In consequence of the acquisition Of
Natal by the British his family moved from
Natal and settled in the Transvaal. Soon
afterwards he became 'burgher of the
South African republic and daring fight
er. 1t was claimed, In his behalf, that he
could lead body of men more successfully
against hostile natives than any other
man in the Transvaal He came to ha
so feared by the natives that the knowl-
edge that no was at the head of a punt
tive expedition usually resulted in their
surrender.
1t was during these wars with the M
tives that Joubert became acquainted with
Paul Kruger. and the two men became
bosom friends. He was elected vice presi-
dent of the Transvaal in 1896, defeated Sir
George Colley at Majuba hill in 1881 anG

zen. JOubert was always in favor of the
use OF force instead of diplomacy, and
PRESIDENT Kruger on several occasions had
great difficulty in depressing his hot-head-
ed colleague. notably in 1S79 when Jou-
bert, with Kruger and Pretorius. was
planning the rebellion to overthrow British
rule In the Transvaal. The result was

of the Transvaal.

NEW MILITARY DIVISION.
Secretary Root Creates One in the
Philippines to Be known as the
''Division of the Pacific"

Washington, March 2S.-Secretary
Root has taken a step long contem-
plated in the administration of the
Philippines by directing the creation
OF an entirely new military division
to be known as the "Division of the
Pacific" embracing all of the Philip
pine archipelago. The division in turn
is to be divided into four military de-
partments as follows: The depart
ment of northern Luzon, commanded
by Gen. Macarthur; the department.
OF southern Luzon, commanded by
Gen. Bates; the department of the
Viscayas, commanded by Gen. Hughes,
and the department of Minandano and
Jolo, commanded by Gen. Kobbe.
Maj. Gen. Otis will retain the supreme
command over these departments as
division commander, occupying to-
ward them a position corresponding
closely to that occupied by Gen. Miles
toward the military departments in
the United States. It is said at the
war department that the purpose of
the new order of things is to free
Gen. Otis of the many minor details
incident to the administration of the
islands, leaving him at liberty to de-
vote more time to larger questions of
policy and civil administration.
