Judge Cole Signs Orders Committing
Five Insane Men.

Justice Cole. sitting for probate bust
ness, yesterday signed orders committing
Seth L. Clark. Solomon Grant, George
Weber. Thomas g. Kell and Joachim J. H.
Schultz to the Government Hospital for
the Insane The unbalanced condition of
their minds was called to the attention of
the court several days ago by A L. Sin
clair. Assistant Attorney for the Commits
sioners. and Justice Cole appointed TWO
physicians to each of the persons al
leged to be insane. These physicians tes-
tilted that in their opinions the men are
of unsound mind and fit persons to be
cared for at an asylum for the insane.
In the case of Henry Jennings. whose
mental condition was also examined by
two physicians it was decided that during
his temporary confinement he has so far
recovered his reason as to permit of his
being discharged.
George Weber IS the man who called at
the White House on Christmas Eve and
stated that he desired to have a private
talk with the President on business OF
great Importance. Weber acted 50 queer
ly that 1t did not take Sergeant Goss long
to decide that the visitor was out OF his
mind and arrested him. After his arrest
he was turned over to Sanitary Officer
Frank. Weber stated that the Govern
,i41eHnt e~ed- him about s6 600 coo and he
thought the President might pay it TO him
about Christmas time.

the last Republican campaign fund also
saw the President yesterday, in company
with Senator Hanna in the interest of the
New York and BermudeZ Company. The
attitude of the Administration since the
beginning OF the trouble has been FRIEND
ly to the interests of the trust, and 1t is
said that Minister LOOMS instructions
have been to see that it's claims were ac-
oeeded to By the Venezuelan Government.
When asked il his visit to the President
related to the Venezuelan affair. General
Greene said that he did not care to discuss
tho matter. Later in the day General
Greene had a talk with Solicitor Peniield,
of the State Department, who is conduct
ing the legal end of the asphalt contro-
versy for the Government. Judge Penfield
declined TO say what had passed between
General Greene and himself. 1t was re-
ported yesterday afternoon that General
Greene had asked the President for au-
th0rity to raise an armed force to resist
an attempt by Venezuela to dispOssess the
New York and Bermudez Company. eOf-
ficiais say the report is ridiculous.
The gunboat Scorpion arrived at La
Guayra yesterday. The training ship Buff
fulo is due there. 1t was originally In
tended that the training ship Hartford.
also at La Guayra, should exchange men
with the Buffalo and these two vessels
then sail on their respective missions the
Buffalo for Manila and the Hartford to

pion to protect American interests. That
plan has been changed Despite the de-
sire of the Navy Department to get the
Buffalo to Manila as quickly as possible,
and to have the Hartford continue her sea

board the two vessels will keep the Scor-
pion company in La Guayra Harbor until

General Pearson's Views.

prevent his making any long journey. l
make regular reports to him concerning
the feeling with which our struggle is re-
garded in America. and if assured of a cor
dial welcome it is likely that President
Kruger will come to the United States"
General Pearson was born in the Trans
wal. and although he had had no
military training whatever. rose TO the
highest rank in the CCmmissary Depart
ment OF the Boer army within year az
ter taking up arms. He is between thirty
five and forty years old. and speaks Eng
lish without the slightest accent He was
sent by the South African Republic to Eu
rope on a diplomatic errand. and accord
ing to the rules of warfare cannot now
re-enter the Boer lines without the consent
OF neutral Governments bordering on Boer
territory.
In discussing the condition OF affairs in
South Africa. General Pearson said that
President Steyn. of the Orange Free State,
was the man to whom all looked at this
time. He declared that Steyn was the
Washington OF the Beers, and is better
loved than any other leader.
In speaking of the recent dispatches
from Cape Town to the effect that
Kitchener was treating for peace with
prominent burghers who were his pris-
onars General Pearson said that the
burghers who were prisoners had no au-
thority to conduct negotiations and did
not express correctly the sentiment of the
fighting burghers who. he felt sure. would
never lay down their arms and surrender.
4 Hopeful Outlook.
General Pearson talked in a very opti-
mlstic vein concerning the outcome OF the
war He said that, outnumbered as they
we're. the Beers held the English on
practically even terms and that as their
wives and children were prisoners of the
British and their homes were burned. they
had nothing to do but to remain in tie
field and fight for their rights, which they
felt would be granted them when Eng
land saw that they would never be sub
jugated again.
He said further that when peace was
declared the Beers would have to begin
life all over again, that their houses
had been burned, their farms devastated.
and their live stock seized until there
was nothing left for them. Every man in
the field, General Pearson asserted, felt
that. though the struggle was hard one.
their cause would eventually be crowned
with victory. He expressed the opinion
that if England would pour a million
soldiers into the Transvaal this week
it would do them little good, and that

ward the English.
Referring to the conditions OF neutral
ity in the Portuguese possessions. he
stated that while the Beers were pre-
vented from returning to the field of con-
Ict when once within the Jurisdiction
Of the Portuguese. that free egress and
ingress were permitted the English.
Commandant Krige went to the front
about twelve months ago. when he served
in the command of General Deiarey
as q private soldier in the Colony cam
paign. He saw fighting in Cape Colony
at the battles of Modder River, Coles
berg. Arundel. Abraham's Kran, and
Zand River. At the last battle he came
in contact with the Irish American bril-
