MAJOR PRATT's PILIKIA.

Major j. w. Pratt, of the water
works bureau, met with a peculiar ac-
cident Tuesday and escaped what might
easily have been serious injurious. He
pulled down some wood work around
electric light wires in his house and in
dot so was too Swift" or too strono
and the material flew into splinters.
When the Major had a chance to eX-
anime himself + found a long cash
straight across his nose and a bleeding
cut on the end of the same. Had the
splinters struck in an eye the result
would have been far worse.
Entries are now all in for the sports
on the campus of Kamehameha school
next Saturday afternoon.

THE PHILIPPINE WAR.
Gen. schwans Column Clearing Southern
Luzon of Rebels.

The most important event In the Philip
pines during last week was Gen. Schwan's
operations in southern Luzon. On Jan.
21 a part Of his column, consisting OF six
companies with some artillery, drove force
of 500 insurgents from their intrenchments
at San Diego, near San Pablo, on the Goth.
The enemy officially reported that they lost
81 killed and many wounded. Our casu-
alties were one killed and IA wounded, the
injuries in most instances being slight.
Another battalion while executing a flank
movement came upon hundred other
rebels IN an intrenched position and routed
them, killing Is. The Americans had two
wounded.
On the 22d Schwan pushed on through
to Lilo, driving the enemy back on Malay
anywhere force, as reported by an escaped
Spanish prisoner, numbering between
!, 500 and 5000, well equipped and supplied,
had concentrated, waiting the approach OF
troops. This position was impregnable via
roads or trails. Our troops worked around
on either flank of the enemy, when the
enemy retreated rapidly; 3Oth Inf. and
cavalry in pursuit.
Schwan has captured Santa Cruz and
several smaller cities, in doing which he
inflicted great damage on the enemy. Gen.
Macarthur has captured an important post
in the mountains of northwest Porac.

The Boer women shoot well against the

The Boer women shoot well against the
Kaffirs; they are the bravest women on
earth. Officers and agents from Rhodesia
have done everything to incite the Kaffirs
against the republics.
The Beers have arms and ammunition
enough to keep the war going indefinitely.
They waste only about one-tenth the
amount that the English waste; they are
determined that their country shall be free.
England can not put enough troops into
South Africa to subjugate it. Why? Be
cause the Beers are fighting for everything
man holds dear. They are fighting
against machine soldier.
l have seen Gen. Joubert's wife load his
guns for him; have seen grandfather, son
and grandson fight side by side. The Boer
soldier is fighting for prize worth winning;
Tommy Atkins is fighting for shilling a
day. Hence the difference.

The Sirdar,

Kitchener's wonderful industry, his IN
disturbed patience, his noble perseverance,
are qualities too valuable for man to enjoy
in this imperfect world without compile
mentary defects, says Winston Churchill
in the Riuer War. The General who
never spared himself, cared little for others.
He treated all men like machines-from
the private soldiers, whose salutes he dis
dained, to the superior officers he rigidly
controlled. The comrade who had served
with him and under him for many years
in peace and peril was flung aside incon-
tinently as soon as he ceased to be of use.
The Sirdar only looked to the soldiers who
could march and fight. The wounded
Egyptian, and latterly the wounded Bri-
tish soldier, did not excite his interest, and
Of all the departments of his army the
one neglected was that concerned with the
care of the sick and injured.
The stern and Implying spirit of the
commander was communicated to his
troops, and the victories which marked
the progress of the River war were accom-
panied by acts of barbarity not always
justified by the harsh customs of savage
conflicts or the fierce and treacherous
nature of the dervish. kN z

One on Pa,
Pedrson's Weekly.

Parents can not be too careful about their
method of answering the numerous ques-
tions of the rising generation. A young
ster had noticed a tall black bottle on his
fathers dressing-table. and asked what it
held.
That, my son, is hair-oil," answered the
father, with furtive and wandering look,
'and it is not at all nice for little boys"
The youthful questioner took smell Of
the contents, and asked no more informa-
ton upon the subject. He kept up good
bit of thinking, however. Last Sunday the
family entertained some friends at dinner,
and there was plum pudding with brandy
sauce. The small boy had found his op-
portunity.

shifted the sauce afar off, the hair oil in
this puddin' smells awfully good"

don't you know what ails you?" asked a
woman the other day of another, who was
looking poorly. why don't you see a
doctor" That's the trouble. I've seen
six of them," was her reply. And she
thereby depicted vividly the exact truth as
to much that passes nowadays, for scien-
tific medical treatment and diagnosis. Mrs.
Anna Cipra, of 60 Wheatland ST., Cleve-
land, Ohio, has a somewhat similar ex-
perience, but she found a way out of the
difficulty. Read her own words: II had
been under treatment by different doctors;
one said had heart disease, another said
it came from confinement, and the next
said would have to undergo an operation.
About this time got so discouraged that
decided to quit the doctors and commence

BAD FAITH OF THE BRITISH.
Eugene Easton, Who Was With Boer Army,
Gives His View of the War

Eugene Easton, special correspondent of
the New York journal, sent the following
cablegram from Paris last week:
| arrived here to-day from the TranSyaal,
where | was with the Beers until the battle
of Colenso.
There was absolutely no necessity for
the State Department in Washington to
cable to Consul-Gencral Macrum to secure
my release or fair treatment for me. The
Beers did not arrest me, but always treated
me well.
1t is impossible to get news out of the
TranSyaal except through English sources.
| sent Il courier from Bloemfontein to the
coast; that was the last heard of him.
! 1t is impossible to get the truth out. The
English censor will sometimes hold cable
he has not sent it. Sometimes the censor
rewrites the dispatch and changes it alto
gether.
British army correspondents are very
patriotic and try to explain everything in a
light favorable to British arms.
British spies are everywhere. Portu-
guese territory swarms with them. They
confronted me in Italy. l met them in
Paris while my baggage was being ex-
amined.
The English claim that the Beers are get
ting munitions of war and foodstuffs is abb
surd. England is trying to explain her de-
feats by pretending that the rset Of the
closely watched: Nothing has got in to
the Beers, and they do not need anything.
The English have had the pick of every
battlefield and of almost every position. 1t
is not correct to say that the Beers have
made merely defensive campaign; the
Beers have been outnumbered by the Eng
lish in every campaign. At the battle of
Belmont the British forces were in a ridicu-
lous majority. England had the flower of
her army fairly and squarely beaten.
Regiment after regiment a! Dundee fled
through the fog before the calling fire of
the Boer rifiemen. The British there de-
serted two trainloads of provisions and one
of ammunition. The officers left even their
secret documents and plan Of campaign.
These have seen, and they show that the
English had been preparing for the war
ever since the Jameson raid.
l have in my possession photographs,
documents, and affidavits found in the Off
GERS camps at Dundee, after the precipi-
tate flight, which disclose the who leplan of
campaign through Natal into the Free
State.
These documents begin in 1896; they men
ton every kopje, every spruit, railway and
fully outlined; details Of the forts at Jo-
hannesburg, Pretoria and Bloemfontein ale
given, with the places where foodstuffs are
stored and where fresh water is to be had.
England is getting aid from the Kaffirs.
For instance, Col. Baden-Powell armed
some of them, gave them two Maxim guns
and started them on raid through the
northwest of the Transvaal. English Off
GERS command these Kaffirs.
The English are sending agents to every
tribe around the Boer republics, with pres
ents and promises of loot. A Kaf1ir chief
showed me presents he had received from
English officers.
