II Is not believed that the import

position Of the export duty OF one shlll-
Ing per ton on coal shipped out Of the
United Kingdom The products u
American coal mines have been gradd-
ally making their way into new mar
kets for several years past and II ls be-
lieyed that In many places the present
margin Of cost In favor Of British coal
as against that from the United States
Is less than one shilling per ton and
that the imposition Of this tax, with the
consequent increase In the cost OF Britt
ish coal will lead consumers TO buy
American coal. The largest Increases
expected IN those markets which are
relatively nearer to the United States
than 10 Great Britain, but some Increase
may be expected In exports to Contin-
entail Europe.
The imposition OF an import tax on
sugars. with diiferentlal Of two shll-
lings and two pence between refined
sugars and sugars testing 70 degrees Is
looked upon here as step In the d.
rection Of protection as II IL believed
that this dlfferential IL great enough to
afford considerable encouragement 10

This may lead 10 a reduction In the
Imports Of refined sugar into the United

New York City. Apfh sBs-.Ls,ar Sir:
In reply TO your Inquiry as 10 the ru-
mors about President Kruger and Mr..
Wolmarens counseling surrender, beg
to inform you that there Is absolutely
no foundation for such ridiculous re-
ports.
Both the president and Mr. Wolma-
rens as well as the other advisers in
Europe, are strongly opposed to any
settlement involving a surrender OF
liberty or independence, Stlll less
would they counsel surrender be-
cause time Is the very essence OF the
situation.
Reports from Gen. Botha and the
other fighting generals as late as the
beginning of February were encourag-
ing, and indicate that unless a settle
ment is effected the war will be OF long
continuance. Even the special CORE
spondent of the London Times esu-
mates that II will last another year.
The burghers are carefully outstanding
their ammunition, Of which they still
have a generous supply and there Is
no dearth of food, while the men in the
field are by this time almost seasoned
veterans.
1.-THE spirit OF determination TO con-
tinue the Struggle is indomitable. With
regard to the objection ureed by some
friends that further demonstrations In
favor OF the Beers are useless because
they achieve no definite result, l beg
to protest most strongly against such
an assumption, because | am quite
convinced that the indirect effects Of
such demonstrations are beneficial 10
the Boer cause. They are q source Of
disquletude 10 the British and all tend
to influence the public mind In the d.
rection Of ending the war. II is, how
ever, necessary that due publicity
should be given to such meetings.
Il cannot too strongly urge our
friends to treat the various rumors
detrimental to the Boer cause with sus-
picion. The absurd reports about De-
wet going insane and the Beers being
hopeless should be dismissed at once.
"Yours faithfully.
