DEFENSE OF BRoDERICK.
He Answers Charges Brought
 Against War Office.

London. Oct 10.-The Secretary for War. MT. Frederick, replying to Sir Charles Howard Vincent's offer to raise fresh troops or do anything else to assist the government, declines the proposal and in doing so lengthily reviews the British position in South Africa, obviously In answer to the persistent and searching criticisms of the ministerial journals and members of parliament. that the govern ment is languidly content to let the war drag on. MT. Frederick says, to begin with. that nothing Lord Kitchener has asked for has not been promptly met. He adds:
 eve have. roughly, 100000 men and 45O ouns in South Africa and over 100000 men are under training at home. We have no difficulty, therefore. in keeping the field firmly up to its requisite strength by draft and if further call be made. we are in a position to meet 1t with the utmost promptitude. Notwithstanding this. there seems to be an impression abroad that the close of the war Is re- tarded bv a scarcity of troops or the want of mobility of our columns"
 This impression MT. Broderick combats bv recitipe what the War Office is doing, providing supplies for 3l4,OOO persons, directly or indirectly connected with the war feeding 2lS,000 horses and mules and maintaining four months reserves Of food for men and animals Sixty-nine mobile columns. perfectly equipped. are now in the field and ten thousand re- mounts are being landed monthly besides those captured.
 Mr Rroderick says the anxiety can be set At rest at home. The government has never interfered with Lord Kitchener, in whose vigorous prosecution of the war they have entire confidence.
 He points out again the vast extent of the country. Abiding to Lord Kitchen .er's sending back poorly trained yeo- manry. MT. Frederick replies that they would have trained earlier, but for the oninion of military advisers in South Africa and at home up to November 1900 that m fresh troops were needed.
 The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir NtichaeI Hicks-Beach speaking in Old ham today said he believed parliament would be summoned earlier than usual but wouId not be called to attend an o,,tur,n session, cOntending that organiz- ed resistance In South Africa really ended . wear ago and that only guerillas were now in the field. He said the British Government of the Orange River Colony had raised nearly as much revenue as u,os raised before the war.

Police in civilian clothes interfered. siding with the inhabitants and the fight became general. the Germans making their way toward the wharf where they boarded the Ger man steamer valesia, moored at that place.
 'In the meantime two petty officers of the vineta who were entirely sober and who were waiting at the wharf to take the vineta's boat were attacked by the police. They resisted and the police wounded them both badly with their swords. All the Germans ashore were un- armed. The wounded petty officers were carried on board the valesia by members police still attacking them with stones and sticks. The mob then tried to board the vaiesia. but were prevented from doing so by the captain and crew of that vessel. In the meanwhile the captain of the valesia had signalled to the Vineta. which was in the harbor, the perilous situation of the Germans and the Vineta sent boat load of thirty armed men to the Valesia, which they boarded by the side opposite the wharf, not landing on Venezuelan soil. The mob, estimated to number twelve hundred persons, was still acting in a threatening manner, and fired few shots. The commander of the Vineta's boat ordered his men to per- form the motions of loading, but not to introduce cartridges into their rifles. Hearing the rattling of the brooches of the weapons, the mob disappeared rapidly in all directions.
 Considerable excitement prevailed at Porto Cabelio, when the Eden sailed.
 'It Is said that the Venezuelan Gov ernment Is putting the blame for the af- fair upon the Germans and has requested the German Minister to apologize for the steamers conduct.
 Ut is believed at Caracas that the Ger man Minister intends to ask Venezuela to apologize"

Little Talk of War.
