GREAT BRITAIN RxcoR1ATED.
Boer Appeal for Arbitration Contains Grave
Charges Against Conduct OF the War
on South African Republics.

New York, Sept. ss.-Charles D.
Pierce, representative in the United
States of the Orange Free State, has
received a copy of the appeal made
by the Beers to the administrative
council of the permanent court of
arbitration at The Hague. The ap-
peal begins by reciting the fact that
The Hague convention of the 10Th of
July, 1899, had provided way for the
peaceful settlement of international
differences. The appeal continues:
Now that this war has gone on for
nearly two years, without any prospects
of an end thereto, except in the way
only recently acknowledged as being the
most efT1cacious and at the same time
the most equitable means of deciding in
ternational differences, to-wtt: Sub
mission to arbitration, the desirability,
mutually, for such a peaceful termina-
ton cannot but become more and more
acknowledged.
The states represented by the under
signed, therefore, consider that they
should repeat the proposal already made
by them before the war, but rejected
by England, to submit to arbitration the
settlement of the differences which gave
rise to the war. In this they particularly
have in view the question whether En-
gland is right in alleging that any action
was taken by the republics which had for
its object the suppression of the Eng
fish element in or its expulsion from
South Africa, and generally whether the
republics have made themselves guilty
of any act which, according to interna-
tionally recognized principles, would give
England the right to deprive them of
their independence.
The undersigned, moreover, allege that
England already at the outbreak of the
war commenced and has ever since con-
Iinued to act in cOntraVention of the
rules of war between civilized powers.
The governments of the states represent
ed by the undersigned are fully prepared,
as soon as an opportunity thereto shall
be afforded them, to SubStantiate the al
legations herein made by setting forth
and proving the particular facts to which
they refer. Since England sees fit to
deny this continual violation by her of
laws of warfare, the states represented by
the undersigned consider that they may
also, in regard to this difference, seek
a decision of the permanent court of
arbitration.
The undersigned and their govern
ments are aware that in order to obtain
such a decision the consent of England
is required. They. therefore, take the
ply Tor such consent or to endeaVOr to
obtain the same by your mediation or
that of the governments represented by
you. Should the English government give
an unfavorable. reply it will thereby be
manifest that they dare not submit them
selves to the judgment of a conscientious
learned and impartial tribunal. They will
then, moreover, continue to bear the re-
sponSlbility for the prolongation of a war
as terrible as it is necessary and they
will tacitly have acknowledged that the
manner in which they have carried on the
war is in conflict with the demands of
humanity and civilization as confirmed
by themselves.

Fi1ipinos Surprise American Troops
While They Were at Breakfast.
Forty Eight Men of Company C, Ninth In

ance, But Victory Was Complete.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-News of
disastrous fight between troops OF
the Ninth infantry and the insur-
gents in the island of Samar Satur-
day was sent promptly by Gen.
Hughes, commanding in that island,
to Gen. Chaffee at Manila, and by him
transmitted to the war department.
The dispatch is as follows: Gen.
Hughes reports the following from
Bassey, southern Samar: Twenty
four men of the Ninth regiment,
United States infantry, wounded,
have just arrived from Balangiga, the
remainder of the company have been
killed. The insurgents secured all
the company supplies and all the
rifles except IL. The company was
attacked during breakfast on the
morning of September %. The COM
pany was u strong. Officers Thomas
w. Council (captain), Edward A.
Bumpus first lieutenant) and DIR. R..
S. Griswold (majOr surgeon) escaped"
The news created sensation in
official circles. It was the first Sc
we're reverse that has occurred for a
long time. Still the officials were not
unprepared for news of just this
character from Samar, in which the
revolution started by Aguinaldo still
continues. Samar is a country about
as large as the state of Ohio and the
American forces of occupation num-
Der in all between 1000 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various
posts in the island, a large number
being located at the more important
centers. Spain never made any eff
forts to occupy Samar and it only has
been for probably three months past
that the United States has under
taken that work. The latest report
made by Gen. Hughes to the war de-
partment was that the number of in
surgent rifles in the island aggre-
gated about 300. The Filipinos car
ried on guerrilla warfare and oper-
ations against them were difficult.
The disaster to company G, of the
Ninth infantry, occurred, it is be-
Heved, while it was engaged in an ex-
petition to clear the country of row.

fact that the Americans were at
tackled while ut breakfast indicates
the daring and pluck of the insur-
gents. - %
Capt. Lawrence j. Hearn, of the
Twenty-frst infantry, also reports a
severe engagement with insurgents
near Candelaria, the Americans los
ing one killed and two wounded. The
insurgents loss has not been ascer-

SACRED cow HAS CALF.
Monsters in Central Park Zoo at New
York City Excited Over Inter-
esting Event.

The Cape buffalo and the big hip
popotamuS in the Central park ZOO
at New York became excited the
other morning. The believing of the
hippopotamus and the lowing of the
buffalo suggested to Keepers Snyder
and Shannon that something was
happening. After investigation they
found that the noises were the her
aiding of the arrival of the zebu
storl<. The zebu is known as the
sacred COW of India, and Rose, the
mother of the new ARRIVAL boy
was herself born in the park three
years ago. The sacred COW and calf
are doing as well as could be eN-
pected.
Keeper Snyder said that Alice, the
big African ioness, contrary to all
custom. has made friends with n
rat. The keepers have noticed rat
tracks in her cage recently and won
dered why it was that the lioness al
lowed rats in her cage, when the
tigers, leopards and pumas always
made life extremely interesting for
the rodents whenever one appeared.
For three nights the keepers watched
the cage and now solemnly aver that
as soon as it gets dark and Alice goes
to bed Il big gray rat creeps along
the railing and leaps into her cage.
Alice greets the rat affectionately
and it snuggles up against her and
goes to sleep.

buying war material in vast quantities.
They are spending money in that way

WANTS WIFE BACK.
Man Says Government Has De-
prived Him of His Helpmeet.
War Department Sends Mrs. Fannie
WadswOrth to the Philippines M
q Teacher and Is Appealed To
to Have Her Brought Back.

Secretary Root has received an I'M
usual complaint from George Wads-
worth, of Mellwood, Neb., charging
the government with being response
BILE for depriving him of the society
of his wife by sending her to the
Philippines as school-teacher.
Early in July Miss Fannie Wadsworth
was appointed as a teacher in the
Philippines. She accepted the APP
pointment and directed that trans
portation be furnished her without
delay.
Shortly after this the department
was surprised to receive dispatch
from Mellwood saying that Miss
Wadsworth could not accept the APP
pointment because she had a husband
and children. The department at
once wired her in regard to this mat
ter and asked if she would go to the
Philippines She said she would go,
and Notwithstanding the protests of
her husband transportation was for
warded, but it was in the name of
Mrs. Fannie WadSworth instead of
Miss Fannie Wadsworth. She hur-
ried to San Francisco and sailed for
the Philippines with number of
other teachers.
Meanwhile her husband wrote the
department and said, judging from
the information received at Mellwood,
he feared the department had not
received his telegram. He explained
he could support his wife, and that
while she had on several occasions
left his home to teach she had always
returned. He said he could not be-
lieve the government would do any
thing to separate his wife from her
family, and he felt sure her appoint
ment would be cancelled. His letter
was not received until after Mrs.
Wadsworth had sailed. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Wadsworth's friends
have explained to the war depart
ment that while she was married the
children are not hers, but her hus-
bands by a former wife. Before the
question is determined an inquiry
into the facts will be made.

Farmers who live along the lines
of rural free delivery mail routes are
to have the advantage of the United
States weather bureaus forecasts OF
the weather. All they will have to
do will be to watch the mail cart as
it goes by. Arrangements are being
made by the post office department
and the weather bureau to have the
mail carts equipped with signals
which will be displayed on the sides.
They will be as conspicuous as posi-
bic, so that they can be read at d
considerable distance from the high
ways. Mail carriers will receive their
weather predictions for the day be-
fore they start on their routes in
the morning, and will put up the
proper signals on both sides of their
carts.

DOMESTIC SUGGESTIONS.

Watermelons or muskmelons that
are not very sweet may be utilized in a
salad with mayonnaise or a French
dressing in which lemon juice is used
in place of vinegar.
Spanish sweet peppers and onions
added TO beef and potato hash give va
riety to the dish. Serve on slices of
toast, with a poached egg on top of
each.
Buy good coffee and learn TO make
good coffee. One cup of steaming hot,
strong, golden coffee with cream
will do more to put your guests in good
humor for a day than the most elab-
crate breakfast with poor coffee.
The lacquered brass knobs and trim
mings used on furniture are best
cleaned with a soft cloth wet in al
cohol. All unlacquered brasses should
be first washed in warm soapsuds and
then rubbed with salt and vinegar APP
piled with a flannel cloth.
When ink is spilled on the carpet
sop up as much as possible with blot
ting paper. Then apply milk with a
bit of rag, changing the milk when
dirty. When the ink has been re-
moved wash with ammonia and water
and then the stain will vanish.
Summer squa sh al the best is so wa
terry that it is better to steam than
boil it. If young and tender, wash and
cut it into quarters without skinning
or removing the seeds. When it is
done rub it through a colander or
sieve and season with butter, salt and
pepper.
If you want your silk skirts to re-
tain their freshness, sew loops under
the fiounces and hang them upside
down when not in use. Hanging in this
way in the opposite direction to that
in which they are worn freshens and
makes them stand out and take a new
lease of life.
Every day after the MONDAY meal
take a quiet hour to study refrigerator
left-overs and their possibilities and
plan the menus for the next day. Do
not leave your thinking of what sup
plies are required till you arrive at
the market, and never allow groceries
to run out. Replenish before the last
spoonful is shaken from the bottom of
the jar.

A Scholarly Retorf.

A famous scholar, whose hobby was the
derivation of words, had occasion to store
his furniture while proceeding to the CONT
nent in quest of the origin of the term
"Juggins." During his researches in Ber-
pany the following letter: "Sir-We have
the honor to inform you that the mattrass
you sent to our store had the moth in it.
Since the epidemic would expose the goods
of other clients to injury, we have caused
your mattrass to be destroyed"
The scholar replied: Dear Sir-My mat

but I am confident that it had an e in it
