INTO A TRAP.

Washington, Nov 20.-Hundreds of
American boys have been lured to
South Africa by false pretenses in
the past IS months, and once there
have been forced to serve in the Brit
ish army and fight against the Beers,
according to q story told at the state
department yesterday by Frank Porter
OF LogansrCrt, Ind.
He states that a st. Louis employ
ment agency secures the boys as mule
teers at the rate of So per head. His
Investigations have convinced him
that for the past Is months transports
have sailed from New Orleans for
Cape Town at the rate of one a week,
each carrying an average of so Amer
leans shipped as muleteers. James G.
Stowe, until recently United States
consul-general at Cape Town, made
frequent complaints to the state de-
partment in regard to the shipment of
Americans at New Orleans as mule
teers on British animal transports.
Mr.. Stowe said these men become des-
titute at Cape Town and besieged the
consul-general with requests for mon
ey to return home. Many of them be-
come desperate and enlisted in the
British army.

A CASTARDLY DEED.
Well-Known Alleged Crook Kills Two
U. S. Officers.


Oxford, Miss, Nov. 1S.-John R..
Montgomery, deputy United States
marshal pro TEN. and Deputy United
States Marshal Hugh Montgomery of
Pontotoc, left here Saturday to arrest
Will Matthias, an alleged counterfeiter
and moonshiner IL miles east of this
place. Early Sunday morning Mont
gomerys horse was found standing at
the gate of Curdy Hall, neighbor of
Mathis, and Mathiss house burned to
the ground. Two partially burned bod
les were found in the ashes of the
burned building, which have been
identified as the remains Of the dep
uty sheriffs. Montgomery horse has
not been found, and it is supposed that
Mathis made his escape on him after
the man had been killed and the house
set on fire. Mathis's wife was at her
fathers, a few miles from her burned
home, and she says she and her hus-
band left home Saturday, her husband
leaving the country.
Mathis was indicted last summer
for making and passing counterfeit
money and was out on a $4,000 bond
The principal witness against him
was a negro living in the same neigh
borhood, and a month ago was assassi-
mated. The two Montgomerys went
out to arrest Mathis for making Illicit
whisky, and it is supposed that they
were prevailed upon to remain for the
night and were shot while guarding
their prisoner.

THE NAvY's NEEDS.
Are Many, According to Secretary
Longs Annual Report.

Washington. Nov. 16.-The keynote
OF the annual report of Secretary Long
sor 1901 rs "increase"-an increase in
both the number of ships and in the
number of officers and saiiors for the
navy. The navy today" he says, lis
far greater factor in our relations
with the world than it was before the
recent national expansion which now
includes Porto Rico. the Hawaiian isl
ands, the vast area of land and sea in
the Philippines and our obligations to
Cuba"
Some Boats Needed.
The secretary's recommendation for
new construction, based on the report
of the general board, headed by Adj
miral Dewey, and that of the board of
construction is as follows:
Three first-class battleships.
Two first-class armored cruisers.
Three gunboats, each of about 1000
tons trial displacement.
Three gunboats, each of about 200
tons trial displacement for insular ser.
vice.
Three picket boats at each of about
$50 tons trial displacement.
Three steel sailing training ships,
each of about 1000 tons trial displace-
ment
One collier of about $4,000 tons trial
displacement.
-Four tugboats.
More Men Needed.
The secretary places emphasis on
the necessity for more line officers
and more enlisted men. He recon-
mends that the number of lieutenants
be increased from 800 to $50, and that
the limit of the number Of junior lieu
tenants and ensigns be placed at 600,
AS to the enlisted men, he recon-
mends that that force be increased
by 5000 men. Tables are submitted
showing that in the number of com
missioner officers OF the executive
branch, and in the total strength of all
ranks and ratings, the United States
navy is the rear OF that of England.
France, Germany, Russia, Japan and
Italy.
National Naval Reserve.
Another pressing need set out in
the secretary's report is that for a ma
tlonal naval reserve. The lesson
taught ny the SDanish-American war,
he says, was that steps should be
taken at once to meet this "one GER
tain and positive requirement which
will face the nation on an outbreak of
war;"
