Authorities Decide to Turn Over a Soldier
Held for Murder of a Native. 25@s
WASHINGTON, June IA question
recently arose in Cuba as to whether a
United States soldier arrested for the
murder of a native should be tried by
the military authorities of the United
States or the civil courts of Cuba. The
secretary Of war asked the attorney
general for an opinion on the subject.
The Attorney general has responded
with an elaborate review of the laws in
in the case, expressing the opinion that
the civil courts of Cuba have complete
jurisdiction in the matter. He advised
that the prisoner be turned over to them
for trial.

suspicion OIL SHs,ret Understanding DO.
tween Kruger and Roberts.
New YORK, June IA dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: The
promenade from Cape Town to Pretoria
was ended Tuesday after q battle Of
maneuvers rather than serious fighting.
Lord Roberts gives detailed descrip.
ton of this engagement and helps
thereby to dignity the entry Of the
British troops into the capital The de-
tails have a hollow ring, and it is not
clear that the resistance offered by the
Beers was serious.
The facility with which Johannes
burg and Pretoria have been taken
leads many military men to suspect
that there has been secret understand
Ing between President Kruger and the
British government by which the war
will be brought to al end without
Unnecessary Loss of Life
and wasteful destruction of property.
This theory, while plausible, cannot
be proved, since neither President
Kruger nor Lord Roberts will admit
that there has been any secret intrigue
or that the closing scenes of the war
have been prearranged in any sense.
The safer generalization is that the
Beers have fought gallantly against the
resources Of a mighty empire and have
been finally overwhelmed by superior
numbers and energy and that Lord
Roberts has worked out an intricate
problem in the dynamics of war. He
has known how much force was needed
on the advance line and what kind of
force and how to protect his line of
communications most effectively by op-
erations on the eastern flank under
General Rumble.
