SHOULD HAVE MORE COMFORT
Gen. Brooke Urges That Remote
Posts He Made More Attractive.

It NhOEt
Washington, Oct 13.-Gen. John r.
Brooke. commanding the Department
of the East, in his report for the last
fiscal year, lays great stress upon the
desirability of having the lonely and
remote Southern posts made as COM
Portable and attractive as possible for
their garrisons. The present quarters
at these posts, he says, are cramped.
stuffy and generally uninhabitable and
few soldiers desire to re-enlist at these
points, once they have had a taste of
the inconveniences. He emphasizes
and renews his former recommendation
in regard ito the possibility, in case OF
war; of an attack of seacoast defenses
from the land side of rear, and urges
that the approaches from the directions
named received the attention which
their Importance demands.
In an appendix to the report, Lieut.
Col. J. P. Story of the Artillery corps,
urges the need of more men to man
coast defenses and to plant mines in
coast harbors.
The first step that should be taken
with the least practicable delay Is the
establishment of an artillery school OF
mines for theoretical and practical in
struction. To this school, Col Story
says, ought to be attached the school
for electrician sergeants, now at Fort
Monroe, Va.

CECIL RHODES DENIES 1T.
Repudiates Endorsement on $4,000
Note by Premiers RadziwiII.


Note by Premiers RadziwiI.
Cape Town, Oct. 12.-Sensational de-
velopments are expected from case
which was heard in the Supreme
Court to-day, in which Thomas Louw
obtained judgment in e1,15O against
Princess Radziwill. The money was
advanced on a promissory note for
$4,000, drawn by the Princess and pur-
porting to have been indorsed by Cecil
Rhodes. The later's lawyer made an
affidavit to the effect that he had writ
ten to Mr.. Rhodes on the subject and
that Mr.. Rhodes repudiated the in
dorsement and all knowledge of the
affair. The court allowed the case as
against Mr.. Rhodes to stand over un-
til Nov /, pending the arrival of Mr..
Rhodes affidavits.
Princess RadziwiII, who was present
in court, has been frequent visitor
to South Africa, and the case has
aroused all the greater interest because
the Princess has. apparently. always
been on friendly terms with Mr..
Rhodes and the circles of which he was
the leader.

TACTICS OF THE BRIGAEDS.
Commandant scheeper So Ill That
He Travelled in a Buggy.

He Travelled in a Buggy.
Constantinople, Oct. 12.-Since the
brigands who abducted Miss Stone were
located on the mountain of Gultepe,
the approach of the troops induced
them to change their retreat. They are
now hiding on the Turko- Bulgarian
frontier, ready to cross to either side
as circumstances demand.
The decision to suspend the move
ments of the troops was partially due
to the difficulties of operating in the
mountainous country, and partly ow-
ing to fear that a further advance
might endanger the life of Miss Stone,
hence the American desire to try and
negotiate for the payment of ransom.
1t is hoped this will result in the re-
lease of Miss Stone in a few days. The
officials of the United States legation
are much gratified at the Russian ac-
ton in the matter. The Russian am
bassador is supporting the American
demands, and the steps taken by the
secretary of the United States legation
in every way possible.

reached for some days. AS soon as

that the amount of the ransom has
been determined upon, member of
