LIEUT.. GEN. LORD KITCHENER
The sirdar's Expected Promotion
Calls Forth IL Bitter Criticism
of Him as a COId-BIoOd-
ed Butcher.

LONDON, Nov. 24-Nr Kruger's tri-
umpEant passage frcm MarseiIles to
Paris IS regarded with curiosity and I'M
expected Indifference in Great Britain.
Every detail of the remarkable ovation
has been regarded with interest but the
underlying feeling here is more one of
amusement than irritation. The ration
hat boiled over with fury when Queen
Victory was caricatured by Partisan
Journalists takes the French homage to
its Ssrch-enemy as an exhibition of in
eVltable enthusiasm not likely to effect
internal issues or create any more seri-
ous friction than already exists among
the pOpulace of the two countries.
The recognition of Mr.. Kruger as being
still president of the Transvaal by both
the French government and the queen of
Holland calls forth from the Westmin-
ster Gazette the remark that this aD-
parent unfriendliness Is due to Great
Britain's own fault in not communicating
10 the powers the annexation of the
south African republics. So long as this
not dCne, Mr. kruger according to
ms English authority, has a perfect
light to be treated as a sovereign travel
-ng incognito.
This failure to notify the powers, the
lame paper declares, initiates still more
Nieriously against Great Britain. for un-
NierVed, no right exists to treat the in
Nlabltants of the Boer republics as rebels
DENUNCIATION OF KITCHENER.
The forthcoming promotion OF Mai.
zen. Lord Kitchener to a lieutenant gen
ralship, elicits from Mr.. Charles Will
ans, one of the leaders of the war crit
cs, the bitterest Indictment of that gen
raj ever published in England. He de-
bIaIeS cen kitchener meditates a reclk-
jess and ruthless determination OF the
SoerS, hoping to execute his atrocities

Ulcers and the removal Of Gen. Kelly

dsPlclon that they would have nothing
DO with Ktchener's dirty work.

The bitterness with which the London

Washington in Chinese matters seems TO
lcrease daily and is all the more sur
