Some Of those who are disappointed
with the appointments of surgeons
made by Surgeon General Priestly, of
the Iowa National Guard. are trying to.
attach the responsibility for these ap-
pointments to Governor Shaw and are.
blaming him for making them. The
fact is that the governor has nothing
to do with these appointments further
than to sign the commissions. They
are made according to law entirely
upon the recommendation of the sur
geon general. and his recommendation
lis final in every case. The same rule IS
followed in all the other departments OF
the national guard. inithe department
lof small arms practice, in the engineer
ing department. in the adjutant gem
erals department. and so on. The fight

Iowa State Medical Society. which re-
suited in his defeat by q narrow ma

II is said by military
men that If the caucus of officers OF
the Fifty-frst regiment, which was
reld in Des Moines. had consulted with
Surgeon General Priestly about his ap-
pointnent of surgeon of the regiment
all the trouble might have been avoid
/ ed. But they paid no attention TO the
man who had the appointing power.
They made their selection without ref

course could not be done. DR.. Priestly

British Public Interest Intense to
Learn the Fate of the Besiexcd.
London, May lS-The closing days of
the drama at Mafeking have been
marked by an intensity of dramatic in
lterest. as unexpected as it is out of pro-
portion with the forces engaged. The
news that the half-famished garrison is
not only able to repel the attacks, but
infict such heavy loss in killed and
prisoners as is reported in dispatch
from Cape Town. announcing the cap.
ture of Commandant Elof. grandson of
President Kruger, and ninety of his
men, makes Great Britain more than
ever proud OF Col. Baden -Powell's little
band and increases the national desire
for their relief to the fever pitch. Lord
Roberts and his large lrmy at Kroon-
stad, and Gen. Buffers thousands fOrg-
ing over the Biggarsberg range, are al
most entirely forgotten. Every one is
thinking and talking of Mafeking and
the exploits of its defenders. The ru-
mors continue rife that the relief OF the
place is accomplished, but all official
confirmation of the reports is lacking.
There is considerable speculation as to
what Col. Baden-Powell will do with
his ninety prisoners, and whether the
victory has not go depleted his force as
/ to render him open to humiliation in
the event of another attack by superior
Boer numbers. But Lourenzo Marquee
already hears rumors that these have
been cut off by the relieving column.
According to general opinion, the news
of the termination of the desperate
struggle between the besieged and be-
Isiegers must reach England before to-
morrow Gen. Butler is making good
progress in recapturing the railroad and
driving the Beers out of Natal. His
occupation of Dannhauser shows that
he is meeting with little resistance on
the part Of the burghers. Lord Roberts
lis still gathering his forces together
5Iprevious to striking the Vaal river.
