PROCLAMATION BY STEIN AND DEWET :|'.' ,n fs5e'r' y.9. r' r5 e. " Says That the World Has Been Untruthfu|ly Informed

BOERS ARE EyOT CONQUERED D

Port Elizabeth, February 21.-The fol. lowing proclamation has been issued by President Steyn and General Dewet:
 Be 1t known to all men that the war has been forced upon the Transvaal Re- publics by the British government and still rages over South Africa; that all the customs of civilized warfare and also the conventions of Geneva and The Hague arc not observed by the enemy, who have not scrupled according to the Geneva convention to capture doctors and ambu- lances and deport them in order to pre- vent our wounded from getting medical assistance; that they have seized ambu- lance materially appertaining there to; that they have not hesitated to have re- course to primitive rules of warfare, con- trary to the solemn agreement of The Hague; to arrest neutrals and deport them and to send marauding bands to plunder burn and damage burghers' priv ate property; that they have armed kaf- us in the war; that they have been con- tinually capturing women and children and old and sickly men, and that there have been many deaths among the wom- en because the so-cailed Christian army had no consideration for women on a sick bed, or those whose state of health should have protected them against rough treatment.
 Honorable women and tender children have not only been treated roughly, but have been insulted by soldiers by orders of their officers. Moreover, old mothers and women have been raped. Even wives and children and the property of prison CTS of war have not been respected. In many instances the mother and father have been taken, the house has been left unprotected and all have been left to their fate. an easy prey to savages.
 World Not Informed.
 The world has been untruthfully in- formed by the enemy that they have been obliged to carry out this destruc- ton because the burgners blow up the railway lines, cut the wires and misuse the white flag Nearly all the houses In the republics have been destroyed wheth- CT in the neighborhood of the railroad or not The alleged misuse of the white flag is simply continuance of the ever lasting calumny against which the Afri- kander has had to strive since the time God brought him in contact with the Englishman Robbing his opponents of goods only does not satisfy him; he is not satisfied until he robbed him of his good name also.
 They state to the world that the Re pdblics are conquered and that only here and there small piundering bands are con tinuing the strife in an irresponsible man- ner. This is an untruth. The Republics are not conquered. The war is not finish cd. The burgher forces of the two Re- puhlics are still led by responsible lead CTS as from the commencement of the war under the supervision of the govern

AMUSEMENT IS.

Anna Held up her skirts and Birming- ham saw-a fascinating little French woman, whose understanding is better than her English, though that is charm ing.
 And why should she not Hold this pret- ty Anna with dreaming eyes and alabas- ter skin, suggestive of the baths of milk that made her famous. She Had and she Held, with due apologies to Miss John ston.
 It was not Anna of the French Maid" not near so naughty as that, but naughty none the less, though charming withal. It was "Papas Wife" Anna, a different person from Suzette and the change was refreshing.
 But to be serious.
 The audience at the Jefferson Theatre last night was dazzled. It was deceived. as we'll as entertained. It expected less and got more. It was not so much the play, not so much Miss Held not so much the pretty chorus girls, not SO much the settings and costumes, as 1t was the pot pouri of the production, that fairly sizzled with fippancy, that reached far down into the disabilities.
 Of course 1t all revolved around the star, but the satellites lent their radi- ance to the scene Anna is beautiful to begin with; she Is graceful and chic to continue Her ac- cert is delightful, but she cannot sing One feels like uncorkng her voice to let iout the melody which seems confined in her womanly breast Her costumes are magnificent; her jewels dazzlingly beau tiful and there Is real merit in her act ing, so the deficiency of voice can be over looked
 In thc drunken scene she over did the part, but 1t was strong proof of her abll- ity an: was acceptable. There is sug- gcstiveness without vulgarity in her songs and acting but even that Is ex- cusabe In Held
 MT. Bigelow, as Professor Celestin, was oyer Thelmngly funny, and the chorus was spontaneous as well as pretty and shapely. There was not a dull moment The story has been told.

YOUNG SOLDIERS SHOULD BE AIDED: t i,.. ace aas Birmingham Rifles Will be a Great Advertisement /. THIS CITY AT WASHINGTON
 .t Many Suggestions are Being Made That |: Would Be Great Reproach
 Not to Aid Rifles In Pay.
 ing Expenses. -,.tt :
THIS CITY AT WASHINGTON

There Is a general feeling in Birming- ham that the Birmingham Rifles Com pany, which is composed exclusively of gallant young men who work for salar- les should not be suffered to pay all the expenses of their journey to Washing ton to be the sole representatives of Ala bama in the greatest Presidential process sion of the country's history!
 Good men argue that it would be a serious reproach to the great city of Bir- mingham if 1t permitted its own com- of the expenses of representing Alabama in the mighty inaugural of the President of Birmingham and Alabama and all the nationl
 Clearly 1t is held to be not just or prop CT that these young soldiers of Birming- ham, most of them born Tn this new city, should be taxed with the costs of giving Birmingham one of the greatest, best and most desirable advertisements this busy and aspiring city ever had! v
 As a plain business proposition in dol-' lars and cents. the presence of the gall lant, skillfu and soldierly Birmingham Rifles in the inaugural parade, the great Presidential procession which half mil-' lion representative Americans will view, will be worth many thousands of money to Birmingham!
 In all fairness and common self-appre- citation, 1t is maintained by many that Birmingham ought to help pay the cost of the journey of the Birmingham Rifles!
 The young men who compose this com pany are without exception of good char .acter and worthy to represent Birming-s ham at even the inauguration of the President, as they hold themselves ever ready to fight If the nation needs them; they work for salaries, and business men of Birmingham of all classes anywhere, do not need to be told that salaries for every kind of service are low in Birming- ham-lower, 1t is believed, than lin" any other city on this continent, and the members of the Rifles company being worthy and being so employed, it is cer- tainly the proper action for the people of Birmingham to assist them in represent ing Birmingham and giving 1t vast ad- vertising before the world in Washing ton.
 The railway fare for every man will be about $16, and that Is large sum to any salaried young man in Birmingham. It is the purpose of the Rifles to leave Birmr ingham Saturday night, March ?, and ar rive In Washington Sunday night. March 8. After taking part in the great parade and festivities of March 4, the company will begin their homeward journey. sg,'
 It has been suggested that many repre- sentative men of Birmingham would be glad to give the boys substantial sub scriptions, and it is further suggested that the Commercial Club should hold . special meeting and do something for ths soldierSi
