WANT MORE OF THEM.
War Department Likes the Brand of
Soldiers from This Region.

THE army wants more of the kind
OF men that have gone out from this
region. They have made a most ex-
cellent reputation and your people
ought to feel proud of them" This
nice compliment comes from Captain
$. A. Wolf, who was sent to Scranton
to carry out the desire of the war de-
partment, expressed in the above quo
tation.
That this is considered a good terri
tory from which to recruit Is further
attested by the calibre of the officer
assigned here. Captain Wolf gradu-
ated from West Point in 1873, and has
for twenty-five years seen continuous
and most of them very active service.
The year of his graduation he was sent
out as a second lieutenant in the
Fourth infantry on an expedition into
Nebraska against Dull Knife's Chey-
ennes, who had quit their reservation
in Indian Territory and started north
on the warpath.
The next year, he was with the
Thornburg expedition in Colorado,
which was ambushed by an over
whelming force of redskins and had
thirty-three and one-third per cent. of
its men either killed or wounded in
three hours, being saved from total an
initiation only by the arrival of REIN
forcements, in the shape of troop Of
the Ninth cavalry, which enabled them
to keep off the foe, while General Mer-
ritt was being brought up with the
Fourth infantry and Fifth cavalry.
During the Spanish war, Captain
Wolf was in charge of Fort Sheridan,
near Chicago. January 10. 1899, he
sailed from New York for Manila and
arrived there March 10. The very next
day he was with Major Bulbs battal-
ion on the firing line, and from that
time until the middle of July, when he
fell Ill and was sent to the hospital,
he was in an almost continuous sue
cession of skirmishes, in the country
about Manila.
When he recovered he was sent
home. and since October 26 has been
doing recruiting duty. He was in COM
mand of two recruiting stations in
Philadelphia when relieved to be sent
to Scranton.

Ever since Detective Ike Seidman
heard that Constable Jake Gilman

NOT TO BE RECEIVED OFFICIALLY
The Boer Delegation Will be Welcomed Only
as individuals.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, April 3O.-It can be stated
that the persons composing the Boer del
egation, who are about to sail from Eu-
rope for the United States this week will
not be denied access to the Secretary of
State when they reach Washington. They
will be received as individuals, just as
was Mr.. Montagu White, but with the
distinct understanding that they are not
recognized officially as Boer delegation.
In other words, Secretary Hay will treat
them exactly as he would treat any dis
tinguished visitor from abroad without
regard to nationality, but will not admit
their competence to enter into any ne
gotiations with the State Department.
1t is believed that the prospective Wis
itors thoroughly understand the conditions
under which they will be received and
that instead of directing their efforts
upon the Government in Washington, they
will rather seek to influence it through
the American people by means of an ac-
tive Boer propaganda.
