Captain Chadwick
Case.
Results of criticism Of Admiral
Sch1ey may be serious.

Adyices from Washington state
that the Navy Department. has pro-
badly inquired OF Capt. F. E. Chad
wick 4chether the interview in which
he is alleged to have scored Real
Admiral Schley is authoritative.
Department officials are very guard
ed as to the affair, but one of them
said that at any rate nothing would
be done until Capt. Chadwick's an
swer had been received, thus indi-
eating that letter had been sent
him. If he should acknowledge the
statements as true, i. is probable
that some action would be taken.
It is recalled that several years
ago an Admiral was retired on &C.
count of injudicious utterances of
this sort. Surgeon Kirchner's case
had involved in 1t some sort OF seml-
public utterances, while the case Of
Chaplain McILtyre differs from that
of Chadwick in that his accusations
were made in a public lecture.
Such remarks as are accredited to
Capt. Ohadicick are clearly breach
Of the rules of the navy, and it the
department has bad its attention
called to them, and has taken up the
matter, it may RESULT in Chadwick's
punishment in some manner, unless
be repudiates the interview.

General Roberts Des=
patches Defended.
Parliamentary War Secretary
replies to criticisms.

Advices from London state that
in the House OF Commons recently
George Wyndham, parliamentary
Secretary Of the War Office, reply
ing to questions, declared that Lord
Roberts had made no comment Whs-
tever on General Methuen'S Magers
fontein operations.
Neither, he contiued, did Lord
Roberts's dispatches indicate that
the advance was either retarded or
modified by the scarcity of remounts.
AT the same time, the SECRETARY de.
clared, it was true that tile expendi-
ture for horses had exceeded all the
estimates, and the War Office had
invariably exceeded the acquisitions
from South Africa. The difficulty
in procuring ships had handicapped
the authorities, but already this year
they had sent out 27,O41 horses and
II, ,143 mules as remounts, in ad
dition to those accompanying the
the troops, and by the end of May
the remounts delivered would num-
Der $4,000 horses and $4,000 mules
Steps had also been taken to supply
the necessary rolling stock for the
railroads. But, as far as the gov
ernment was aware, the military
problem before Lord Roberts had
not turned on the question Of re-
mounts or rolling stock, but on the
| fact that Lord Roberts had shifted

Of Gen. Buffers private opinions

Winston Churchill writes to the
London "Post'';
On one occasion he Gen. Bullerl
even went so far as to describe the
operation he had proposed as a
"forlorn hope," so dark and gloomy
was the situation in South Africa
during the first fortnight in Ncvem.
Der. 1t was stated that the Gener-
al was ordered by the War Office to
go to Natal, and went there against
his own will and judgement. This,
however, was not true; and when ]
asked him he replied: "lt was the

Danish West Indies.
All Negotiations Reported
Broken Off.

A despatch from London reached
Washington stating that the nego-
tiation between Denmark and the
United States for the purchase of the
Danish West Indies according to the
Copenhague correspondent of the
Daily Mall, have been definitely
broken off.
On this the following comment
was made in Washington -
If Denmark has broken off negO-
tiations for the sale to this country
of her West Indies, the fact is un-
doubtedly due to the treament given
Captain Christmas, the Danish gov
ernment's agent, who sailed from
New York for home on April IL.
Captain Christmas undoubtedly
reported that he found private ind
ividuals seeking to secure an option
on the islands so that they might
get a commission out of their sale
and that neither the State Depart
ment nor Congress had evidenced
any disposition to buy the islands.
TO the diplomats seen tO-night it
is not clear how this Government,
having neglected to buy the Danish
West Indies, having had an oppor,
tunity to do so, can make valid OBJ
jetion TO the sale of the islands to
some other poser.

Evasion OF Immigra-
tiOn Laws
At Manila.
Personal Certificates VIII
Hereafter Be Required.

An order has been issued at Ma
Mia which will have the effect Of
stopping evasions OF the Chinese
immigration laws. Instead of the
certificates of former residence is
suedby Ameri can consul sat Chinese
ports, the Cinnamon desiring to enter
the country must produce cedulas
proving their former residence, with
proof that they still have property or
domestic interests in the Philippines.
Hitherto a surprising number of
Cinnamon have been arriving under
consular certificates.
Another order making changes in
the Spanish criminal procedure has
been issued, giving an accused per-
son the rights of habeas corpus, of
being confronted with qoitnesSes
against himself, of open trial, of
exempting the accused from testi-
flying against himself, establishing
systems of bail and pleading, and
abOlishiug the priests exemption
from trial by the civil courts for cri
mes and miSdemeanOrs.
These are the only changes imme-
diately desirable. A compleLe revi-
sion of the code is left for the Com
mission.

Gen. Macdonald On The
Luck Of War.

Mr.. Burleigb, war correspondent
of the London telegraph, writes
One Of the incidents that have
reached me of the Paardeberg fight
is that Major Gen. Macdonald and
his Brigade Major, Capt. Wigham,
while making "Reminiscences, got
away from showers of BOer bullets
fred at very short ranges. TIE Ge-
neral received his wound through
the ankle and foot some time after,
when in relatively safe position,
as he dismounted from his horse.
That day Cap. WIgham had three
horses shot, and had he not dismo-
united from the second the shell
which killed it must surely have fin
ished him. "The luck of war; as
Gen. Macdonald observed at the
minute. .sI dismount and get VOun-
ded; you dismount and are saved
from wounding. Had | sat on my
horse | would have been all right,
and had you not got of you'd have
been killed."

The Flood.

The heavy ra ms last week did q
great deal of damage to farms and
growing crops. The greatest dam
age was to wheat, it was blown
down and a great deal of it can moi
bs saved, Along the creeks corn
and tobacco were washed up and
the losses are considerable. Two OF
the larger bridges in the county
were partially wrecked andIa num-
Der of the smaller ones washed
away. The Bishop bridge, across
Livingston creek, between Crittsn-
den and Lyon counties, was badly
damaged and a bridge across Dry
Fork it is reported was washed a
way. The public roads throughout
the county are in a worse condi-
ton than ever before probaly at
