WE WILL HOLD THEM.
The American Flag Will Not De
Taken Down on sabitu and
Cagayan Islands.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The American
flag will not come down on Sibutu
island or on Cagayan island. Spain
has been demanding that these islands
be returned to it. The war depart
ment was ready to make the return
and SO was the state department up
to Saturday. The navy department,
however, was unwilling to surrender
anything it had taken, and has made
it's title good to the islands. The
state department will inform Spain
that the islands are the property of
the United States, and will hold them.
Sabitu is east of Borneo and Ca
gayan is west of Mindaro, about 200
miles. Sibitu was saved to the United
States by the discovery Saturday Of
an old treaty between Spain, Great
Britain and Germany, which specifical-
ly says that Borneo's holding shall
not extend further than three miles
from the coast of Borneo. Sibitu is
on the opposite side of the channel
separating Borneo from the Sulu
archipelago.
AS to Cagayan island the records
show that it was at on time used as
penal colony by Spain, and the lat.
er is therefore stopped from denying
that it was used as part of the Phil
ippine group.

great novelist and Charlotte Bronte.
She had formed an ideal and expected
him to live up to II, and, austere little
genius that she was. was inclined to
be angry with her favorites if their
conversat ton or conduct fell below her
ideal. Behold, lion cometh out of

him, land I'm nothing but poor

WORKS LIKE CLOCKWORK.
Every Detail OF the BOer Organize
tion Almost Perfect-Army Well
Fed and Provided For.

Paris, Feb. 23.-A letter from Col.
De Villebois Mreuil, Gen. Joubert's
chief of staff, to whom the Boer VIC
tory at Colenso is mainly attributed
by the French papers, is published
here. In the course of this communi-
cation the colonel says that two of
the Creusots' representatives rendered
the Beers valuable aid. One named
Grsunberg, he adds, is the head of
their artillery, and the other, Leon, is
the head Of their engineers. Leon. di-
rected the hoisting of "Long Tom" to
the dizzy heights around Ladysmith
and also arranged for the victualing
of the camps, which he himself To-
Gated.
The writer expresses admiration for
the organization and commissariat ar
rangements Of the Boer camps. The
burghers, he says, get excellent meat
bread or biscuit, coffee, rice, potatoes
and other condiments with surprising
liberality. He pays high tribute to
the unsuspected military capabilities
Of the Boer leaders, and declares every
detail of the Boer organization works
like clockwork.
