Has No Intention of Resignng From
the Senate or Chairmanship.

Washington, Dec. SENATOR Han
IA Sunday night denied all reports that
he intended to resign from either the

retire.

THE THREE YEARS WAR
Gen. De Wet, in His Book. Spares
Neither BritOn Nor Boer.
Gen. Knox Is the Only British General
Who Seems to Have Struck De-
Wet as a Commander With
Military Genius.

London, Dec. Had not so many
of our burghers proved false to their
own colors, England, as the great Bis
marck foretold, would have found her
grave in South Africa" That is the
keynote of the Boer Gen DeWet's
book entitled Three Years War"
1t is perhaps the most remarkable
book by the most remarkable leader
that any recent war has produced.
The concise, simply told tale of the
extraordinary campaign is marked
throughout with the stamp of truth.
The badness of the narrative only
serves to bring into strong relief the
fiery passages over a strong man liter
ally blurts out his soul in pathetic re-
greet or bitter denunciation.
in thus taking the public into his
confidence DeWet loses nothing of the
glamor with which his exploits in the
field surround him. In criticising he
spares no one; BOer and Briton come
equally under the lash. DeWet de-
clares that whatever the English peo-
pie may have to say in discredit of
Gen. Butler, he had to operate against
stronger positions than any other Brit
ish general Throughout the work
the Boer general had but slight praise
for Lord Roberts and little more for
Lord Kitchener. Gen. Knox is almost
the only British general who seems
to have struck DeWet as a cOmman-
der with military genius.
OF Tommy Adkins" he has many
kindly words to say and declares 'the
British were far from being bad
shots" The comparative immunity of
the Beers from harm DeWet constantly
and most fervently attributes to the
interpOsition of God.
IF any reader" he says, "is eager
to know how it was l kept out Of the
enemies hands, can only answer, al
though l may not be understood, that
| ascribed it to nothing else than this
it was not Gods will that should
fall into theiNhands. Let those who
rejoice at c. miraculous escapes give
all the praise to God"
Nevertheless the book teens with
accounts of military and other strate-
gies by which DeWet outwitted his

THE ARMY.
Annual Report of Secretary of War
Eiihu Root.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port of Secretary of War Elihu Root
was made public Sunday The report
is review of the military activities of
the year, and deals at length with the
military administration of Cuba and
the instruction in the Philippines.
The creation of general staff, Sec
rotary Root says, is the most pressing
need of the army. Our military sys-
tenn is still exceedingly defective at
the top. We have a personnel unsur-
passed anywhere, and a population
ready to respond to calls for the in
crease o. the personnel in case of
need, up to the full limit at which it is
possible to transport and subsist an
army. We have wealth and a present
Willingness to expend it reasonably for
the procurement of supplies and ma
.erial OF war as plentiful and as good
as can be found in any country. We
have the different branches Of the mil
itary service we'll organized, each
within itself for the performance Of
it's duties. But when we come to the
coordination and direction of all these
means and agencies of warfare, so that
all parts of the machine shall work
true together, we are weak. Our sys
TEN makes no adequate provision for
directing brain which every army
must have to work successfully.

just stepped from the western express
in the Broad street station here when
he was taken into custody by Detec-
tive James Tate, ST., of the detective
bureau of this city. He admitted his
identity and is now locked up in the
Central police station.
Kelly was crestfallen when he reach
ed the police station. Il was on my
way back to St. Louis" he said, "and
meant to announce my arrival there
Monday and give myself up to answer
whatever charges have been laid
against me. 1 had been absent in Eu-
rope for several months and spent
most of my time in Ireland. On my
arrival in New York this morning
received word that my son had died in
st. Louis. AS soon as l stepped from
the steamer it was suggested to me
by an old acquaintance that come to
Philadelphia for a few days. I came
here and now I find myself under ar
rest. That's all there is to it."

handled the $47,5O0 bride money
which, according to evidence, had been
distributed among the 10 members of
the combine" Where did this money
come from? That was the question
the grand jury wanted answered, and
believing that Kelly could furnish the
answer, he was indicted on September
8. He was at the four courts when the
indictment was made against him. A
deputy sheriff told him he was wanted
Kelly asked permission to run over To
the council chamber to attend to an
important matter, saying: IF you
need me before 1 get back telephone
me at the house of delegates" That
was the last seen of him by any Off
GERS of the law until his arrest in Phil
adelphia Friday.

found Americans Had Neither Horns
Nor Tails.

Manila, Dec Capt. Pershing,
With 60 men, has completed march
across the Island of Mindanao from
cape Camp Vicara to Illigan. This is
possibly the first time that white men
have made the journey. Capt. Pershing
visited the villages of Madaya and
Marahui. On his way to Madaya he
found the Moros more surprised to
learn that Americans were not mon
sters ten feet tall, with horns and tails.
At Marahui he addressed 500 Moros,
telling them Of the friendly purposes
Of the Americans. Representatives of
The Nato and Docaputan tribes, which
are now at war, asked Capt. Pershing
to arbitrate the difference between
them. The captain agreed to visit
them and give his arbitration on his
return journey to Camp Wears. No
hostility was shown towards the col
umn on the march.

sistance of friendly natives. Five of
the friendlies struggled from the col
umn and were captured by Ladrones,
who amputated the tongue and gouged
out the eyes of one friendly and then
sent him back to the cOnstabulary.
The fate Of the other friendlies is un-
known.
The efforts to restore agriculture i'll
the Philippine islands have been
blocked by a dearth of field animals.
Ninety per cent. of the Carabos died in
the original epidemic of hinderpest,
and of the small number many have
died.
The government has planned an eX-
tensive importation of these animals to
meet the crying need, and had ar
ranged to have them immuned. 1t was
forced to abandon this plan on account
Of lack of money to meet the pur-
chases. The general cultivation of the
plantations is impossible without them,
and the absence of any immediate pros
pect of getting the field animals leaves
the agricultural situation in a serious
condition.

PARENTS ARRESTED.
They Are Suspected of Killing Their
Two Children For the Insurance.

Philadelphia, Dec. AFTER carrying
on for period of several weeks an III
vestigation into the cause of the death
of Annie Williams, aged years, and
her 3-year-old sister Josephine, on Oc
tober 81 and % respectively, the po-
lice authorities have deemed it proper
to detain at a police station the par
ents of the dead children. The father.
John w. Williams. was taken into
custody late Saturday night and the
wife was removed to a police station
Sunday along with her other three
small children. Annie and Josephine
died of what the attending physician
thinks was poison, and so notified the
coroner. A chemical analysis made by
direction of the coroner tended to
prove the doctors theory, and the ar
rest of the parents followed. 1t is
said the dead children were insured,
the older one for $115 and the younger
child for $50. Williams and his wife
deny that they were the cause of the
death of the two children.
