General Luke E. Wright Of the Couu5issior,
answering the inquiry, explained that good
roads for the military were an economic neces-
sity. and that General Macarthur. as the
Executive was aided by trained Army engin-
eers. The Army was thus the best and only
machine for supervising ably and economically
the construction OF such public works. The
Commission. he said, desired IN this way to give
the Filipinos an object lesson IN the honest and
efficient disbursement OF public funds; and this
would be all the more effective because It was
the Arny's economical and honest adrninistra-
ton that had created the surplus and made
the appropriation Of s1OO0.0Oo possible.
sehor Torres expressed himself as entirely
satisfied with the reply.
It was suggested that specially interesting

fully confirmed. may enable General Botha TO
open negotiations with General Butler and bring
the war TO an end. President Kruger. however.
may return TO Komatipoort OF II he stays at
LoUrenco Marques, Botha may continue the
struggle dividing his force into small bands
Al conclusions based upon Reuters announce
ment Of Krdger's arrival in neutral territory
are premature, since the door through which he
IS reported to have retired from the Transvaal
remains open II General French has occupied
Barberton and the British columns are advanc-
ing toward Komatfpoort, the door may be closed
within a week and Botha released from all
obligation 70 keep his burghers IN the field.
The closing scenes OF the protracted campaign
tend 70 illustrate the truth that without q ueu-
tral base the Beers are helpless. II the British
Government had allowed President Krugsr 70
purchase Delagoa Bay when he was anxious to
do So he would not have place Of refuge IN
the present emergency. nor would his presence
there be a source Of any uncertainty respecting
the possibility OF his return 70 the TransvaaI.
The purchase of that neutral base ten years ago
would probably have prevented the outbreak
Of war since the Beers have depended from the
outset upon having the door open for their own
also upon having a bridge for retreat when they
were IN the last ditch
The news. however, IS still too i1decistve 20
Justify premature talk about a last ditch Butler
is pressing On after Boths, over the mountains
but has captured abandoned stores rather than
commanders IN arms. and French Is stiH long
way from Komatipoort.
The Official record Of the operations conducted
by Generals Methusn, Barton and Eildyard and
the Generals in the Free State proves that the
territories occupied are swarmtng with gueril-
las and discoutented Beers, who are unwilling
TO abandon the struggle This Is one OF the
worst features OF the situation Resentments

treatment Of British prisoners Of war at Pre-
torta founded on the report Of the Court OF In
quiry Briefly. Lord Roberts declares that the
treatment of the officers was fair, but that the
food Of the men was quite inadequate and Of
an inferior quality. He denoUnces the treat
nent of the Colonial prisoners as criminals. and
says the inhunan treatment Of sick prisoners
throws the greatest discredit the authorities
then at Pretoria. The prevalence OF sickness
and many deaths Of prisoners Lord Roberts
adds, are attributable to the lack OF proper food,
medicines and accommodations, and the neglect
