NEW TACTICS OF BOERS.
Gives Concern In Some Quarters and
Will Delay but Not AFTER the
Final british Victory.

NEW YORK. April IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The game OF counterstroke has been
played on both sides with success. Gen.

Beers near Boshof. surrounding them and

alties were nearly equal on both sides,
apart from the prisoners.
This episode throws little light upon the
mysterious operations which Gen. Methu-
en- has been conducting. north OF kimber-
ley. IL indicates the facilities with which
the British commanders can adapt them
selves to the guerrilla warfare into which
the Boer tactics are rapidly deRenerating.
Gen. yillebois Mareuil, who was Killed
on the Boer side, was Joubert's military
adviser n Natal, and was engaged by
Or. Leyds Mt the outbreak OF the war.
liant and DIR. Leyds made an excellent
Investment In securing his services He
had been In the French war office and
stan college and was chief of stan In the
Algerian army French officers have CON
sidered thai his abilities were ovorrated.
but he had evidently been most useful
to the Bon generals In Natal, In showing
them how they could adapt their tactics
to new conditions of warfare He was
the best foreign expert on the Dutch side,
and his death Is serious blow, especially
men--Joubert and Cronje If he suggest
cd the new policy of counter attack upon
the lines OF the British communication.
as has been reported he has fallen vic
tim OF his own tactics.
The Beers have followed up their sue
cess at Kornspruit by a similar stroke
aimed against Gen. Roberts line OF COM

The new tactics followed by the Beers

being In readiness to invest Bioemfontein,
the Beers are not believed to hive more
thar Loco or 1000 burghers. innction In
the north was fatal TO them and they
were forced TO adopt new tactics and at
tempt a series OF counter attacks.
Gen, Buffers inaction Is not understood
by military men here and the opinion is
expressed that Warrens division will be
ordered TO the Free State.
The Ashantee outbreak IL considered In.
opportune, but not of serious magnitude.

HUMMER WAS A BANKER.
His Arrest Due to the Failure of tits
Institution n Year Ago.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. April IA special
from Mondovia, Wis, says:
Louis p, Hummer was arrested in Spo-
kane, Wash. on complaint of A. j. Wal
ker. treasurer of the Modena Creamery
Association. for embez2ling the assoeia-
tion's funds, which were deposited in the
Exchange bank. of which Mr.. Hummer was
the active manager.
The failure of the bank, which occurred
about year ago. was a disastrous one.
principally because IL held the savings of
many comparatively poor people. The
county treasurer was a sufferer to the ex-
tent of about 5000. and the city treasurer
of Alma to the extent of about $1,000 A
farmer i'm Gilmanton. T. G.. Bauley, lost
81 900, and many others suffered losses of
more or less amounts.
Henry Ginsky, Runners partner. who
has been paralyzed for years, is left prac-
tically penniless.

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-05-01

Cecil Rhodes at one time had private
secretary Of whom he entertained IL high
opinion and whose services he greatly
valued. One fine morning this favorite
abruptly announced that he was going to
be married. The colossus was speechless
with Indignation for moment, and then,
glazing at the culprit, he growled out,
What on earth am going TO do for an
other secretary"
Without waiting for a reply he strobe
from the room, slamming the door behind
him with great violence. Ills good ma
ture, however, prompted him TO extend
the forgying hand later on, and he gave
to the bride some fine diamonds. In adj
dition, he lent them his own carriage and
horses for use to and from the church.
1t never entered his head to give his
erstwhile favorite secretary any more
employment. Such crime as matrimony,
though forgiven, could not be condoned
