ENGLISH OFFICERS KILLED.
Not as Special Marks of the Beers as
Has Been Commonly
Supposed.

The men carried nothing but their
arms, their water bottles and a water
proof rug and blanket for each. The
officers were similarly equipped. says
Scribner's, actually carrying rifles, so
that they can be in no way distin-
guished from the men. Something
must be done to reduce the terrible
mortality of officers experienced in the
first two fights in Natal. In reality the
high percentage of officers killed is due
to the fact that they must of necessity
expose themselves more than the men
under their command, and with the
enormous amount of lead poured into
an advancing force by the modern mag
azine rife the officers, who are stand
ing up to direct their men, run ire
mendous risk of being hit. In small
skrmishes, however, it is possible that
the good rife shots on either side can
pick their men carefully, so that the
absence of a distinctive mark may
prove to be of value to officers. In any
case, there can be no harm in making
the experiment. of arming them with
rifles, though in the long run their
losses are not likely to decrease to any
extent.
It is one of the myths of war that
the enemy pick off officers, just as it is
a common legend that the enemy,
whether he be Boer, Spaniard, Turk or
any other infideI, is in the habit Of aim
ing at wounded men and using explo-
siye bullets.

FrankIin,s willows.

A member of the Civic club, of Phila-
delphia, the other day brought to light
the interesting fact that the first viii
low trees in Philadelphia grew On the
site of the custom house, and resulted
from an accidental discovery on the
part of Benjamin Franklin. He found
wicker basket, which had been
thrown in damp place, sprouting. He
was much interested. and gave some
of the cuttings TO Charles Morris, who
planted them on his place. The stalks
took root readily and thrived, and a
number of fine young willow trees re-
suited.

PIPING SUGAR JUICES.
Piping sirup Is Transported by Pipe
Line the Same as Oil
and Gas Are.

Pipe lines for gas, water. steam and
oil long ago demonstrated some of
the attractive possibilities of the
pipeline method of fluid transporta-
ton and made it familiar to all, with
evidences of it Astounding in every
day life. And yet, says Casters Mag
azine, one is impressed with tinge
of novelty in q recently-circulated
newspaper wait which tells of a %
mile pipe line for conveying sugar
house strip. At Springfield, Utah, O..
S. A, it appears, there is a plant for
slicing sugar beets and extracting the
sugar-1aden juice by diffusion, and
this, with it's impurities, is then
'piped" to a beet sugar factory at
Leh1, there to be treated and refined
by the usual processes. Inquiring fur
Their, however, it is learned that the
same system of piping sugar juices
has been in vogue in Germany for a
number of years, and in the latter
country, too, pipe lines have been used
in potteries to carry much-thinned
clay paste from one department to an
other.

CuhGn wor1women.

Gentlewomen In Cuba are putting
forth heroic efforts to support them
selves by making for the soldiers duck
trousers at seven cents pair, and
underclothing at 40 cents dozen. Un-
der the direction of some American
women a society has been formed
among the Cubans for the relief of
these women. As the result of recent
canvass, the names of 1900 were OBJ
tanned, all of whom are in need of aid.
Others besides these, quite as needy,
would not admit their poverty.

ADHESIVE STAMPS.

"Wait until have washed off the
postage stamp on this envelope, spoiled

commonly supposed" said a lawyer.
"You may take your scissors and cut
out the adhesive (not the impressed

envelope with mucilage, notwithstand-
ing the adhering piece of the old en-
velope.

eminent, when it sells an adhesive two
cent stamp, undertakes for such con-
sideration to transport and deliver to
destination the letter to which it is af-
fixed. The fact that it has piece of an
envelope to which it was formely at
tached, but not used or deposited for
mailing, does not relieve the govern
ment to execute it's part of the con-
tract when the letter is deposited for
mailing, the stamp being otherwise
perfect.
An impressed stamp, however, cut
from an envelope, is defective and in

TALK OF OUTBREAK IN MANILA.
MANY FILIPINOs LEFT AMERICAN
EMPLOYERS.

Intended to Join Rebellion Wfthin
the City hut 1t Did Not MateriaIizes
OfciaIs Have Been Active and the
Uprising VIII No Doubt lie Pres
vented - BucncaminO's Plans Not
Considered Likely to Meet with
Much Favor.
Manila, May 13.-The latest runor of an
outbreak in Manila among the natives,
which was in circulation last week, was
seriously discussed by some of the local
papers, and attracted more general atten@
tion than has usually been the case with
this sort of thing. &
As a matter of fact, many Filipinos cid
leave their American employers with the
apparent intention of joining some such
movement. Their action. taken In cons
nection with the arrest of several natives
for carrying concealed weapons and tho
dispersion of several suspicious gather
ings, gave color to the reports.
The officials have been active in the mat
ter. but are not inclined 10 think an up.is-
ing will be attempted. They believe tho
Fllpinos lacking In the necessary courage.
especially in view of the fact that the RAJ
tives feared to attempt the demonstration
at the time of Gen. Lawton's funeral, al-
though they had made careful preparations
and many insurgents had come to Manila
for this express purpose.
A paper found among the captured eff
fects of Gen. Pantaleon Garcia asserts
that the United States Congress has done
nothing for the Filipinos, and that, there's
fore, all Filipinos who are working for
Americans must leave their employers i'm
mediately or suffer the penalty of trea-
son.
One report is that the Filipino junta is
endeavoring to incite an outbreak in Or
der to show the Civil Commission THAI
the insurrection Is still alive.
VIII Not Meet With Favor.
It does not seem probable that che
peace proposals which Senor Buencaminos
at one time a member of the so-caled
Filipino government, has drawn up for
submission to Aguinaldo and the other In
surgent leaders, will have much weight
with the Fillpinos. Buencamno's repu-
tation, gained in former wars, is that Of
a man who hurries 90 get on the winning
side He was In dlsfavor with the Fill
pinos even before the collapse of theiy
government. owing TO widespread srs-
picion as to his loyalty to his colleag des.
Last week Gen. Macarthur rece. ged a
large number of officials, consuls, off,
GERS and representatives OF commercial
bodies, To Lieut.. Col. Crowder. his mill
tary secretary, he win assign many duties
heretofore devolving upon the adjutans
general.
This step Is taken in view OF the In
creasing importance of the post of gov
ernor general. Gen. MacArthur's policy
appears TO involves considerable decen-
tralization. He win give 20 his stun au-
thority in matters of detail and will de-
vote himself largely to questions OF
policy.

what the British commander OF Natal can
do, he must hold fast a respectable frao-
tion Of the Bo<r forces. The remainder
cannot, without great danger, fight a pitch
ed battle against Lord Roberts, for In that
case his attack win certainly envelop them
and involve them In disaster. At tie
best they can delay him and harass his

months march from Bloemfontein to Pre-
toria. The Beers, by the various expedi-
ents open to them, of rear guard actions
and OF raids on the communications may
prolong this time by couple of months;
but in the process, even though they
should escape crushing defeat, their army
would be used up. After that there is
nothing left to them but for guerilla war

Kaffirs were to join in the fight on one
side or the other no one can forsee what

ties lies in the general course of the
worlds affairs. The longer the duration
of the war the greater the scope for the

Spencer WiII<inson's Latest Estimate
on the War.

the War.
New York, May 13.-Spencer Wilkinson
of London, the military critic, in an article
on How Long VIII the Boer War Last >"
which will appear in the Forthcoming edl-
ton of LeslIe's Weekly, says:
I'm the summer of 1861 there were prob
abby few men in or out of the United
States who foresaw that the War of Seces-
sion would last four years; If any held
that opinion he gained little credence for
it at the time. In June. 1856, only those
who had special opportunities of knowing
the condition Of the Prussian army 'foresaw
that the Austrian empire would be suing
for peace within six weeks of the outbreak
of the then pending hostilities. The dura-
tion of war depends partly upon the nature
of the country In which 1t is waged, but
much more upon the relative resources of
the two bellige"ents and the energy and
determination which each Of them throws
into 1t. The last named is probably the
most important factor. =
II have from the beginning expected
that the Beers would make a desperate
fight. According to their view, the cause
for which they are in arms is that OF their
Independence, or their national existence.
and for that cause every community will
fight harder and longer than for any ether.
Great Britain's object.
Great Britain is fighting for the unity
of her empire and for the moral existence
of the British nation. 1t is a cause which
appeals less directly to the intelligence OF
the masses than that OF independence, and
the disproportlon between the resources of
the British empire and those of the Boer
republics is so great that neither the Brit
ish government or the constituencies by
whose tone II Is accustomed to guide IL
self, are able 20 realize the Importance of
extreme exertlons 10 bring the war speed-
lily TO an end
I'm the present case the British govern
ment. the group of politicians in charge
OF the nations affairs, Is not yet more
than half awake, and II the provision
hitherto made for the conduct of the war
should prove insufficient there would be
considerable delay before fresh exertions
by way Of preparation would produce a
visible result.
81 hardly expect the resistance OF the
Boer armies in the field to be prolonged
for much more than three months, but I
should not be surprised IL the effective
occupation of the whole country requifed
a further six months Of continuous effort

INSPECTORS SENT TO CUBA.
They VIII Thoroughly Investigate
the Postal Frauds.

Washington, May 13.-The postoff1ce in
spectors appointed by Postmaster General
Smith to make a thorough investigation
into the postal frauds in Cuba are expect
ed to arrive there on Tuesday and at once
proceeded to make an exhaustive inquiry
into the condition of affairs affecting. the
postal service existing on the island.
Before leaving the city to-day the in
spectors had a conference with the Pest
master General, at which they received
their final instructions. They are direct
ed to exert every effort possible to ascer-
tain the extent of the frauds and the
names of the guilty parties.
Gen. Woods requisition for the extradi
ton of Charles f. Nicely, the chief of tho
finance division of the postoff1ce depart
ment of the island, who is charged with
defrauding the revenues and is now out on
bail, has been sent to District Attorney
Burnett of New York by Attorney General
Griggs. 1t is said to be somewhat similar
in form to those of two previous requests
for extradition to Cuba. Gov Roosevelt
already has said that he would comply
with such a request If made.

The project succeeded late at night, but,
unfortunately. AFTER the departure OF the
last train.
Although the troops had marched six
teen miles, they were in excellent form

been made, chiefly of those who had ma

British here agree that the quarrel be-
tween the Free Staters and the Trans

have decided to leave their allies. whom
they accuse of cowardice and lack OF pa

Most of the Transvaal prisoners think
that II they are defeated at the Vaai

but there appears to be a growing dis
trust in the Transvaai government. In
a word, the back of The Boer resistance
seems to have been broken. The burgh-
ers are fighting without their previous
stubbornness. They seem ready TO re-
treat on the slightest pretext.

New Free State Capital Is Well
Located.
London, May IA, 4 a m.-''The war i'm
practically over" says the Daily Chroni-
cles kroonstad correspondent, and in less
definite terms, this is the view to be gath
cred from all the correspondents. They
picture the Beers as utterly demorallzed
and disheartened bp Lord Roberts unex-
pectedly rapid advance and by his facile
turning of the carefully prepared positions
of the Beers.
There was practically no fighting and
there are no further details to give respect
ing the occupation of Kroonstad. The
correspondent Of the Daily Telegraph says:
''The Union Jack was hoisted in the
market place by Mrs. Lockhead, the
American wife of a scotchman. Most Of
the horses of the Beers are in wretched
condition, but President Kruger declares
he will continue the war"
1t appears that the Beers al Kroonstad
had been reinforced by 5000 men from Ma
tai last Friday and that altogether 10000
with twenty guns, trekked from Kroonstad
on the approach of Lord Roberts
The Beers made an Intellectual stand at
BoschR'n nd and had elaborate entrench-
ments in front of Kroonstad, which offer
ed great facilities for a rear guard action.
Their only anxiety, however, appears to
have been to get away safely with all their
guns and conveys, which again they have
successfully accomplished The few stores
they were unable to carry away they burn
ed.
President Steyn is represented as having
been frantic with rage and with having
kicked and cuffed the burghers after vain
ly implortng them to continue the fight.
BOer Forces Still Intact.
Lord Roberts, after a march which is
regarded as worthy of being ranked with
his famous march to Kandahar has thus
covered another stage of his campaign, q
stage which, although successful and
without the mistakes and misfortunes
that chara cterized/ the earlier stages
leaves the Boer forces quite intact. not
having lost gun, and having lost very
few men. Experience has taught the
critics to be chary of accepting reports
of Boer, decentralization. The Times
says:
The signs point to military breakdown
on the part of the Beers, but after ex-
perience of the past, we cannot accept
the reports of Generalization without re-
serve. The game of war must be strictly
played out to the end"
