The Former Seeking Pretext to
Escape Giving Definite An
swer TO Argentine.
WILL NOT ACCEPT MEDIATION
Military and Naval Preparations
Are Being Made by Both
Governments to Meet
Emergencies.

NEW YORK, Dec. l2.-Ip official
circles there Is a growing tonyic,i6h
that Chile IL seeking a pfstert 10 es-
cape from giving a definite reply to the
Argentine proposals for the settlement
Of the dispute In regard 20 the roads
opened in the disputed 'erri.orv. says
the Buenos Ayers correspond mt or the
Herald.
This belief Is based upon the request
by Chile for the postponement Of the
next conference between Senior Yanez.
the Chilean secretary Of foreign af-
fairs and Senior Portela, Argentine
minister 10 Chile until next Fri5sy.
II Is generally believed that the dis
pute win not be settled on that DAY.
that Argentine will be forced to le-
call Minister Portela, that the govern
ment viii send troops 70 occupy the
roads In the disputed territory and
that a statement will be made to King
Edward OF Great Britain. the arbItra-
tor Of the boundary question.
Another Buenos Ayers newspaper
announces that a private dispatch
from Santiago says that the United
States minister in Chile has rendered
the good Offices Of the government to
prevent hostlities between Argentina
and Chile.
The Tribune, President Roca's organ,
in commenting on this dispatch, says:
We know that the United States
minister (Henry l.. Wilson, IS not a
friend OF the Argentine republic. Cur
government will not accept any for
eign mediation. 1t has decided upon
that policy"
Military and naval preparations are
being made to meet emergencies. Ne
gotiations are taking place for the pur-
chase Of two iron merchantmen to be
converted into auxiliary cruisers.

STRAIN is EXCESSIVE
ON THE british OFFICERS IN
SOUTH AFRICA.
Lord Kitchener Alone Seems Abso-
lutely Impervious to Wear
and Tear.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA military
correspondent OF the London Times
and New York Times in a message sent
from Pretoria declares that the state
ments that the British troops in South
Africa are stale" are untrue. He says
that the men are in splendid condition.
This refers both to the regulars and
volunteers attached to the various bat
talions. Some colonials recently re-
cruited at South Africa seaports are
less satisfactory.
The correspondent says It is unde-
niable that the strain on the generals
and their staff is excessive. Many Of
these officers have worked for u hours
daily for two years. Lord Kitchener
alone seems absolutely impervious to
wear and tear.
Reinforcements to the number Of %,
900 would be immensely valuable, says
the correspondent and would render
the last stage of the war rapid and
complete. The Beers are keeping in
the field from 5000 to 10000 and they
are in as good condition as the British
The Beers still believe that European
Intervention is imminent, that Great
Britain is tired of the war and that
they have only to hold out long enough
in order to make the British so weary
that they will surrender.
The correspondent dwells on the diff
ticulty Of Lord Kitchener's position
He has 5000 miles of communications
to protect, several governments are be-
ing re-established: the Engl sh opula-
tions are being brought back and the
eneiny's families are b Ing looked aft
er. All is being done with a much
smaller number Of effective tro pS than
has been imagined The removal OF
Lord Kitchener would be fatal says
tn, correspondent and would be con-
structed by the Beers as a great tri-
umph for themselves.

JACK WADE MUST HANG
Is CONVICTED OF NUMBERING
YOUNG MORROW.
says lie Is Ready to Atone for His
Crime with His own Life
Wonderfully Cool.

PORTLAND. Dec. ls.-With the gal
lows staring him in the face as Judge
Frazer gave the finding Of the court
this morning that Jack Wade was
guilty of murder in the first degree,
the prisoner arose from his seat to beg
the officials not TO feel badly over SEN
fencing him to death, as he was ready
to meet 1t. Such display OF nerve
or coolness at such time and under
such conditions has probably never
been eQualed and may never be re-
peated.
OF all men in the courtroom Wade
was the least affected by the decision
of Judge Frazer If he appreciated
the seriousness OF the matter. life Is
worth but little TO him, and as he said
They say life is sweet, but have
Travelled over bitter roads, and only
hope that what's to come will not be so
hard to bear" His only request at
the hands OF the court was that he he
not sentenced until his partner in the
crime is sentenced, and his only fear
seems to be that he may have to hang
before Dalton does.
In announcing the finding OF the
court. Judge Frazer said:
You have pleaded guilty as charg-
ed" said Judge Frazer, addressing him
self to Wade, and the law makes it
the duty of the court to determine the
degree Of murder According to your
statement you We're a party to the
robbery In the course Of which life
was taken, and under the law 1t makes
no difference who fired that shot. The
court sees but one finding and that
Is that you are guilty of murder in the
jrst degree
81 don't want any one to feel dis
heartened," broke in Wade. Il don't
want any one to feel badly, for tell
YOU, men, I don't feel badly. I don't
lnow why, but maybe it's because
here is somthing that holds me up.
DON'T feel badly about sentencing me
O be hung was equally guilty with
Dalton"
