COCHRAN SAYS THE PRESIDENT
COULD STOP THE BOER WAR

Chicago. Dec. 1O.-A program OF pro-
tes: against British methods in the
South African war was carried out be-
fore an immense audience in the Audi
torium theater here Sunday night. Fol
lowing an address by w. Bourke Cock
ran and earnest speeches by others,
resolutions for the appointment of a
committee to bring the sentiments of
the meeting before the President We're
adopted.
Although an admission was charged,
the funds being intended to aid the
Beers and especially their women and
children, standing room was at pre-
MUM and many were unable to gain
admittance
The program opened with the song
"The True Heart" sung by nineteen
German societies of Chicago. DR.. Hi
ram Thomas, head of the Peoples
Church, followed with a prayer for the
women and children in South African
prison camps. Then followed short ad-
dresses by Judge Theodore Brentano
and Judge Murray II. Tuley, chairman
of the Chicago branch of the American
Transvaal League, under the auspices
of which the meeting was held.
when Mr.. Cochran, the orator of the
evening, arose and bowed in recogni-
ton of the tumult of applause which
greeted him. He said in part:
However men may differ about the
invasion of the South African repub-
lies, all are agreed that the restoration
of peace is in the highest degree desir-
able. There are but two ways in
which the war can be terminated-eith-
er the Beers must surrender or the
English government must abandon the
attempt to subdue them. 1t is quite
generally assumed that the resistance
of the Beers cannot be successful, and
if this be true they would not be justi-
fled in continuing a struggle which in
wolves fruitlsse loss of life and waste
of property. even though the losses in
flicted on their enemy We're tenfoid
greater than what they suffered them
selves, for bloodshed is useless and is
always indefensible.

NAVAL BATTLE ON HORSEBACK.
Part Taken by Gen. Paez In a Remark
able Incident.


able Incident.
General Paez as the first president of
the republic of Venezuela, and to him
perhaps, more than to any other man.
with the exception of Simon Bolivar,
Venezuela owes her independence.
Paez was a llanero-cowboy-on the
llanos or plains of the Orinoco, and at
the age OF eighteen was superinterd-
ent of large cattle estate. One of
the most remarkable incidents of mod
ern warfare, in which Paez played the
principal part, is chronicled in Mr..
w. E. Curtis book on Venezuela.
General Paez is the only man who ever
fought naval battle on horseback.
With his cavalry he actually attacked
and captured feet Of ships. While
Bolivar was trying to cross the Apure
River with his army, during the strug-
gle for independence, he was prevented
by half dozen or more of Spanish
gunboats, which anchored in the
stream and moved up and down as he
did. Il would give the world to have
possession of that f1otilla,' exclaimed
he to Paez, who had then risen to be
second in command, for l can never
cross that river as long as it is there!
II it belonged to us instead of to the
enemy, the crossing would be an easy
matter" Il will have those fecheras
(ships) or die!" exclaimed Paez; and
calling upon his llaneros-his regi-
ment of cowboys-he said, LET those
follow Tio, who dare!" '"Tio," was
the pet name by which Paez was
known among his reckless followers,
but he never used it himself except in
an emergency. He spurred his stall
lion into the stream, followed by three
thousand llaneros and their horses,
which are taught to swim as we'll as
to gallop, carried them directly to the
gunboats. 1t was night. The Span
ish fleet was taken entirely unawares.
The llaneros clambered from their
saddles to the decks of the vessels,
and then let their horses swim back
to shore. Thus, after cutting off their
own retreat it was question of win
or die. They fought desperately, and
every vessel was captured.-Youth's
Companion.

GENERAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT
ON CONDITION OF PHILIPPINES

In the government of Manila for
three years, if the military have done
nothing more. it is everywhere apparent
that an excellent foundation has been
laid and a turbulent and hostile COM
munity brought to observe the laws
and individually be orderly; this has
been done without undue harShnesS or
severity of treatment of the inhabit-
ants
In anticipation Of a partial concentra-
tionof the troopsi in the Philippines next
year General Chaffee submits estimates
of cost for the construction of quarters
and barracks. He recommends that Il
permanent post be constructed at once
in the vicinity of Manila for IL garrison
of two squadrons of cavalry, two bat
tries of artillery, and two full regi-
ments of infantry. together with Il hos
pital and Storehouse. the whole to '.
under the command of Il brigadiCrgt~
eral. He gives SJo0.000 as Il rough es
innate of cost for this project
General Chaffee devotes a good Io.rt
of his report to the terrible disaster
which befel Company C. Ninth infant
ry, at Balangiga, Samar, and which,
he says, was largely due to overconti-
dencc in assumed pacific conditions
and in people who, to great extent,
as yet are strangers to and unapprecia-
tive of our humane policy of liberty Of
beliefs and actions"
American soldiers, he says. fail to dis
criminatc between real ana assumed
friendship on the part of the Filpinos.
In an appended report Geenral J. =.
Sanger. inspector general of the divi-
sion of the Philippines, in speaking of
the discipline of the troops in the isl
andS, notes Il commcndable absence of
eXccsseS and serious infractionS of the
regulations, but says there is great
room for improvement in the matters of
dress. demeanor and show of respect
in saluting superior officers, the criti-
cism applying to officers as well as SOL
diers.
The Grit-advocate., 1901-12-13

But is it true that the resistance of
the Beers is hopeless! Since the fall
of Pretoria it certainly has not been
fruitless; it has been justified by most
important results. Lord SaliSbury'S
position that nothing but absolute sur
render would be considered has been
abandoned. and to-day the burghers
could secure almost any terms short of
complete acknowledgement of their in
dependence. AS their resistance has not
been fruitless, neither is their struggle
for independence hopeless. On the con-
trary, if their resistance be prolonged
for few months, the abandonment of
the struggle to subdue them by Great
Britain is inevitable.
Providence has so ordered events
that the President of the United States
can conclude this bitter quarrel. 1t is
an extraordinary opportunity offered to
an extraordinary man. 1t would not
be necessary to draw the sword, to
make and threat of armed Intervention,
or to take an unfriendly attitude. One
word spoken to the English ambassa-
dor or in the bearing of the English ma
tiOn, would restore peace, establish JUS
tice, secure liberty to these burghers.
promote enormously the prosperity Of
the human race and bring immeasure-
able glory to the American nation.
viii that word be spoken? Never In
history has such momentaus results
hung on the lips of human being.
Will Theodore Roosevelt improve this
opportunity for himself, his country
and the whole human race"
Resolutions were adopted petitioning
the President that the treaty of Wash
ington. of May s, 1871, be strictly en-
forced and that the use of American
ports and waters be henceforth denied
to vessels operating under British char
ter for the augmentation of supplies of
war; and that the President of the
United States will employ every possi-
bic means to bring to an end the hor-
rors of concentration camps and war
fare which by its uneXampled ferocity
and enormous cost of life and
treasure has astonished the civil
lied world.
