is very hot and dry here now, and
we are just beginning to have ripe
tomatoes, roasting ears, lemons,
oranges, bananas and cocoanuts.
This is healthy country-no
fevers at all. We released NIL
the American priAoners and |
think the war is about over.
Am very sorry to hear of the

THE SEIZURE OF THE HERzoG.

Hamburg, Jan. S.-AdoIph WOermann. one Of
the owners Of the German vessels seized by the
British, in an interview to-day said:
The last one taken is the Herzog. She has on
board the Dutch, Belgian and German Rmbu-
lance corps. All these were travelling bona 1de
under the Red Cross. It is certainly the first
time such corps has been detained by hostile
government. Their services were offered to the
British, but were refused. We cannot help con-
sldering the action Of the British ar chiefly in
tended TO prevent the German East African
Line from continuing its service on account OF
the competition we have made against the Eng
Hsh lines. We consider the seizures entirely
Illegal, and against everything that until now
has been considered the law Of nations. Their
actions simply those of brutal force, and
what the consequences will be we cannot sag.
So far IN both the case OF the Bundesrath and
that Of the General the only represeu tations
made by Great Britain consist IN the allegation
that they are suspected OF carrying contra
band" The directors of the line have not the
board Every precaution was taken going so
far as to even discharge at Port Said and Der
es-SaIaam articles Of war shipped on board our
steamers previous TO the outbreak Of hostilities.
Regarding the passengers, many Of them are
known to US as regular patrons Of the line It
was known that others intended 70 go to the
TransvaaI and. while there might he some ad-
veuturers anxious to profit by the prospects
there there was not. so far the directors
could ascertain, one passenger travelling TO the
Transvaal to serve in its army.
Herr woermann Is not only q large ship
owner but is also Of the largest German
investors IN the East African possessions. He
is a personal friend Of Emperor William, and
is generally understood to be carrying out i'm

The details Of the Su1oIk's reverse furnished By

by Colonel Watson, and General French allowed
him TO carry It out. The enemy opened fire as
Watson was ordering the final advance at day
break The confusion caused by his wounds
and the mysterious signal for retirement may
account for the reverse.

IN SOUTH AFRICA
London, Jan s.-Arthur J. BaIsour, First
Lord Of the Treasury. delivered hts annual ad-
dress TO his Manchester constituents this even
ing. A large audience gave 10 him an enthusi-
astic reception
Mr.. Balfour contrasted the conditions OF last
year, when the Fashoda incident had been honor
ably closed and the Peace Conference had begun
at The Hague, with those OF to-day, when, as he
said, England had become involved in the
greatest war of the generation" He added:
II is true that the Government knew the stu
alton contained elements Of peril but II is not
true that they regarded the war as anything
like inevitable. If it be asked why the Gov
ernment knowing the Transvaal was iacreas
ing its armaments, did not protest. the melan-
choly reason rests in the Jameson raid, which
gave the Transvaal a chance TO say it was arm
ing not for aggression, but for self protection
Thus we are criticised for doing too little by
those who a year ago attacked US for doing too
much.
The speaker said he believed the events which
prevented mobilization last August had done
more good in uniting parties and all parts OF the
empire than If Great Britain. and not the
TransvaaI, had issued the uItimatum. Conttnu-
ing, he said
Even the tactical misfortune at Ladysmith Or
the extent Of the Boer invasion Of British terri

In defending the artillery equipment. he OBJ
served:
Do not believe that your soldiers are sent 70
the field with worse gun than France or Ger
many would Use in similar circumstances. The
guns supplied 10 Sir George White were in
tended for mobile force. not for the defence Of
a beleaguered fortress. The course OF war has
revealed the necessity for guns less mobile, but
OF greater range and these are being sent out
abundantly.
After extoIIing the sea transport and the
ready response Of the reserves. he declared that
the Government had given 70 the generals an
absolutely free hand, that the war vas 'one in
defence OF African empire" and that.
through good and evil fortune, they would pur-
sue It unswervingIy 10 the end, so that no such
war should ever be waged in South Africa again.
In conclusion Mr.. Balfour ridiculed the for

bell on one side and John F. Parkhurst the
other Mr.. Parkhurst IS not trustee. but he runs
the Republican side OF the programme, just the
same. Mr.. Campbell IS mighty good sort OF man,
and haven't anything against him, but he hasn't
got exactly the right notion OF running institu-
ton like the Soldiers Home.

greater part OF the time, without paying interest
on t. But suppose It is all right. There are six
teen hundred old vets there and believe n run
ming the Home strictly in their interest. That Is
the view taken by Colonel Shepard. the present
superintendent. There are people In Bath who
think that the Home belongs 70 them. and they re-
sent 1t because some Of the trustees govern It as
