LONDON, April According 10 re
liable reports from Cape Town, a de-
termined effort is soon TO be made by
the British forces in South Africa 70
end the war with the Beers
It is understood that plans have been
under way for some time to inaugu. ate
a concerted movement on the various
commands that are scattered through
the colonies, and that when the cam
paign Is begun it viii be on an exten-
sive scale and calculated to produce
the result desired.
Gen. Baden-Poweu has for some
time been engaged in organizing a Mill
tary police force and is meeting with
success in securing men wko are cap
able Of good service in the field
It is said at Cape Town that when
Gen. Baden-Poweu has completed his
organization, the British authorities
will take UP the work OF trying to drive
the depleted Boer army out OF The cen
tres where they have been causing SO
much trouble Of late
The residents Of Cape Town and 9TH

from the effects of the long and weari-
some conflict with the burghers and are
anxious TO see business affairs restored

the prospective movement against the
Beers. but ii is said they are the most
capable III the service here and 1t IS eX-
pected that Baden-P Powell viii have a
large part in the campaign.
no date has been set for the move
ment. but as it is waiting on the com
pletion Of Gen. Baden owelrs force, it
Is believed that rot a long time Will
eIapse before the forces are sent against
the burghers-
In connection with this latest move
ment. ii Is interesting 20 note that Sir
Gordon Sprigg. Premier Of Cape Colony,
has appealed to the members Of the &C.
Ionial force and the town guards 10 vol

This seems TO indicate that the Brit

work Of the Beers and TO At least scat
ter the largest Commands within The
coming six weeks.
II is understood that the War Office
has for some time had in preparation
Jhe details OF the course TO be pursued

ed a a meeting Of the stockholders held
in Paris last Thursday and that ne was
notified by cable on Friday.
ID Hutin left this city for New YORK
Saturday and viii sail on French
liner Wednesday for Paris.
The stockholders are said to have be-
Gene dissatisfied With NJ Hutin-s man
age1nent because he was inclined 10
push his own interests rather than
those Of the corporation. 1t was also
charged that he had led the stockhold-
ers to believe that there was every
chance Of the United States taking hold
Of the canal and completing it IN con-
r:ection with the company. This, the
Stockholders learned through Bruno
I3ariila. ex-engineer- in-chief Of the cid
Panama Company. was altogether IN
likely. = report to this effect by n
