fBy the Associated Press.)

London, Nov. 13.-Mr. Broderick. the
British War Secretary, speaking tonight
at a banquet, given in London in his
horror by the city Carlton Club, declared
that the Beers were hiding their tracks
by numbering Kaffirs behind them.
Lord Kitchener wired today, he contin-
ued, that the cold blooded murder of
natives had become frequent of late, and
that two dead natives, their hands tied
behind their backs. were found November
10 at the bottom of a mine shaft. /"
Later in his speech, Mr.. Broderick said
Great Britain now had $4,000 Beers in
custody in the concentration camps and
on various islands, ard that 1900 more
had been killed or wounded or had left
the country on parole. He added that he
believed the number OF Beers now in the
field was about 10000.
THE country has set its teeth and in
tends to go through the process of wear
ing down. he exclaimed. We intend to
provide Lord Kitchener with fresh troops
TO replace the tired cnes. Onlv today a
certain colony made an offer of help.

THE CADETS QUARTERS
The barracks Poorly EQUIPPED, the
Ventilation Fxecrable.
TIE ACADEMY BUILT A CENTURY AGO
Nearly All the Improvements on il Have Been
on The Patch Wo.k Plan and Such
Mok as This Now is Work

(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, Nov. 12-The most impoT
tant feature of the report of the board of
Visitors TO the West Point Military Acad-
envy is @ recommendation that the aead-
envy Sc rebuilt. The report says:
1T has been nearly one hundred years
since West Point was founded, and from
the birth of the institution nearly all the
improve ments have been on the patchwork
plan. There is but one building con-
structd by the Government at the post
that is in harmony with this day and
generations. 1t can be truthfully said that
there is pressing necessity for COM
p1ete tearing down and a new building up.
The policy pursued in this regard at AM
napolis should be speedily adopted at
West Point Nothing can be gained by
postpcnement. Indeed it seems to the
board that almost every dollar spent in
the future for altering and patching is 50
much money thrown away.
''The West Point Military Academy
should be a model, perfect in the min
utest devail possessing every advantage
and Improvement which the new century
affords and in entire harmony with the
grandeur and dignity of the mission which
our army is to fulfill
Putting TIE matter in a few words, it
can be truthfully said that the barracks
in which the cadets sleep and study and
live when not in recitation room or on
the drill ground are little better equipped
than the barracks at the average county
Door house. In many of the rooms three
cadets are crowded The ventilation of
these rooms is in accordance with lygenic
notions of century ago and is simply
execrable.
The report takes uD the subject Of
discipline and states that the board is
satisfied that the hazing has been eradi-
Gated. Full credit is given to Col. Mills
for this disciplinary measure, and the
breaking up of hazing organizations.

LETTER FRoM CAPTAIN KIDD.
An Old Heirloom That Tells Of Buried Treasure
in boston Harbor.
(Ry the Associated Press.


Providence, r. T., Nov. IA letter 200
years old from Captain Kidd the noto-
r.ous pirate chief to Iohn Bailey Esq.
of New York which, from evidence con-
tanned in it. IS believed TO be genuine by
those to whom it has become an heir
loom, has been deposited for safe keep
ing. With cld rarNrs. in the office of the
record commissioners of this city.
The letter is the property Of Edward
Field, clerk of the municipal court of
Providence and historian, a descendant Of
the Warner family, which was among the
Warwick. 1t was found among family
Papers.
/. Apparently the communication was
written after the capture of Captain Kidd.
1t As dated Boston, 1901, and it says in
Fart:
II fear we are in a bad situation. We
are taken for pirates and you must come
to Boston as soon as you get this; there
is no one / can depend upon. II | do not
see you, | will tell you where my money
is. 1t is buried on island in Boston
Harder in two chests containing from
$1,000 to 10000 pounds sterling in money.
Jewels and diamonds. They are buried
about four feet deep, with fiat stone on
them and pile of stone nearby. There is
no one that knows where 1t is but me now
living.
at is about up the hillside.
Don't fail TO come TO me as soon as you
get this. If l am gone to England be
there as soon as possible. Secure the
money and diamonds before you come as
money will do great deal for us
The letter contains much more matter
and refers to many Incidents which have
been found to be historically correct.
The words which would tell exactly
where the treasure was buried are
omitted and their places are taken by
crosses. 1t is considered likely that
along with the letter went another
writing. in which was given the key to
the omitted portions.

Cotton in Oklahoma.
lBy the Associated Press. ]

NBy the ASSUCIdItU FTtSS.J
Washington, Nov. 13.-The Agricultural
Division o fthe Census Bureau has COM
pleted its tabuiation of the acreage and
production of cotton in the Territory of
Oklahoma in 1899. In that year there
were 2406s7 acres in cotton, producing
70,675 commercial bales the equivalent
of 1901 bales of 500 pounds, of a value
to the farmers, not including cotton seed,
of S2.317.119.
The report of cotton ginned in the
same Territory, as given by the Manufac-
turers' Division. was 1883 bales of 500
pounds. There is thus variation of only
% bales between the report of the Man
ufacturers' Department and that of Agri-
culture.

ATTEMPT TO FREE AGuINALDo.
An American Lawyer Seeks to Secure His Re-
lease Through Habeas Corpus Proceedings
nv the Associated Press.

ictoria b. c.. Nov. 13--Aecording to
nail advices received from Manila by
the Empress of China, Judge O'Neill, an
American lawyer. is engaged in endeavor-
ing to secure the release of Aguinaldo
by habeas corpus proceedings.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 13.--While the
War Department has not been advised of
the reported stems TO secure the release
of Aguinaldo from captivity, through writ
of habeas corpus, they were prepared for
a move in that direction. A few weeks
ago the first application of this kind was
made in the case of military prisoner
and as there was some indication OF "A
disposition ON the part of the Philippine
Commission to uphold the right of habea3
corpus in that case, the President was
Obliged to cable some instructions both
TO the Commission and to General Chaffea
the result of which was a practical de-
NAL of th4 wris.
The War Department officials have dep
recated the making of an issue on this
important point. pending he decision OF
the Supreme Court in the fourteen da-
nond rings case,' involving the question
as to whether the Constitution follows
the flag. Up 10 this time there has been
no real test of the right of appeal from
the Philippine courts to the Federal
courts here. not of the right of habeas
corpus in Philippines.
As far as Aguinaldo is concerned, it is
said that his captivity is only nominal.
The only evidence of it consists of the
appearance by his side of an army officer
when he walks about the town for he is
free to go almost anywhere. Moreover,
it is said that this escort is perhaps is
necessary to protect Agunaldo from as
sault as he has been threatened by the
secret societies.
