South African situation, the London CORE
Spondcnt of the Tribune says While Lord
kltchener's order prohibiting carrying OF
pianos ana kitchen ranges with mobile col
umns is exciting the rdicule Of the French
and German press, Il does not Indicate
the real source OF the weakness Of tue
British campaign In South Africa. Mill
tary men who know the secret history of
the operations assert that she luxurious
habits OF the officers have been a less
serious obstacle than the lack OF harmony
and esprit de corps They state that the
British officers have always stood by each
other and worked together until this cam
paign, but that they have been pulling
apart and intriguing against one another
during the last year. Military feuds aud
jealouslcs have been the chief obstacles
encountered by Lord Kitchener, If friends
Of the British army are correct in their
judgment.
The Beers have again displayed great ag
gressyeness IN attacking British garrisons

MYSTERY IN THE MATTER
OF RECENT OCCURRENCES IN THE
PERSIAN GULF.
Now Said that Britain and Turkey Have
Come to an Agreement to
Act Jointly.

New York, October IA good deal Of
mystery surrounds the recent occurrences
In the Persian gulf, saws the London cor
respondent Of the Tribune. In estimating
the Importance Of recent news In regard
to the situation, the Vienna correspondent
OF the Standard points out that It is well to
remember what is happening In the distant
provinces OF the Turkish empire The
question Of the future Of the Caliphal and
the Mohammcdan people constantly occu-
pies the attention Of Sultan Abdul Hamod,
and II Is remarkable that his views on the
subject are readily accepted 10y the chiefs
Of Mohammcdnn tribes. who formerly
would have laughed at the idea Of ale
glance to the sultan Of Turkey. For IN
stance. some OF the chiefs In the Interior
Of Tripoll. who emphasize their FILLING in
With Abdul Hamcd's pan-Islamic scheme
now promise 10 allow soldiers 10 be re
cruited for the regular Turkish army. by
Keeping In mind the sultau's general ideas,
the error will be avoided Of connecting
Turkish action in the Persian gulf with
German or other schemes. 1t Is reported
that an agreement has been arrived at by
which Great Britain aud Turkey will In
the future act together TO preserve the
peace nj Koweit This win mean a con
siderable change in the situation IN the
gulf as Turkey secures position which
she did not formerly possess.

all sides.
I'VE have a right to expect" says the
Standard that the government will lose
no time in sending out such ample reln-
forcements as the military chiefs on the
spot deem necessary"
The Daily Mail, which finds evidence that
Lord Kitchener is In a difficult prcdica
ment and fears that the government Is de-
laying relnforccments ont Of desire to
avoid Summoning parliament to vote the
necessary supplies, warns the government
that II this be the case, grave risk Is
being run. Similar protests are made ON all
sides.
The Times after reminding the govern
mcnt Of the repeated hluuders aud mscal-
culatons which have cost the empire such
terrible price, says: "A third campaign
