Et1on to President Roosevelt and the
czar, asking them to intervene, the

South Africa by celebrating the period

they must surrender by four notable
successes, killing 68 officers and men,
wounding 63 and capturing five guns
and 300 men.
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war two years ago, the
name of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht, where Major

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Sept 21.-A woman
who has figured i'll many courts In many
southern cities was buried here under
the name of Mrs. Huntley. She was
conspicuous police court character here

being that of Mrs. Eddy.
OF recent years she has been broken

hard work and toll. Her remains were
followed to the grave by a number of
mourners who knew her as a broken,

was in striking contrast to the other
days when the police and Jail officials
were kept guessing as to who and what
she was and where her money came

He also maintained that it was his
recollection as stated yesterday that the
feet was further out at night than in

called to contrary statement by Admi-

innate and was not concerned about the

Cerning his estimate at night that the

point was sought to be made that to

greater speed than 8 knots an hour,
which the witness had testified was
made, but Captain Harber maintained
his position, saying he had given his
best impression. Some of the log en-.
tries he considered worthless as evidence.
Admiral Higginson, who preceded
