OF mules and other war supplies by the
British from this country to South Africa,
the papers in the case would long ago
have been published.
This view is borne out by the state
ments of Gen. Samuel Pearson. the Boer
representative in Washington. who claims
to have authentic information that not
only was Colonel Crowder's report ad-
verse to the British. but that the opinion
rendered by Attorney General Knox In re-
view was of similar tone. General Pear
son threatens to go before the courts in
an action to compel the Secretary of
State, who now has the report in hand, to
deliver to him a copy Of the evidence OBJ
tanned by Colonel Crowder in Louisiana.
The Boer leader is confident that some
means will yet be found to prevent the
continuance Of the mule shipments. not
withstanding the generally accepted belief
that the President has decided that the
British are within their international
rights
The authorities OF Louisiana are with
us In this matter" said General Pearson

refuses to interfere we expect Governor
Heard to take hand The attorney GEN.
eral OF Louisiana has rendered an opinion
10 the effect that the State would DC justi-
fed in preventing the maintenance on its
territory of base of war supplies for a

From the fact that the report of Col.
E. II. Crowder on the alleged violations
of the neutrality laws by the British at
Port Chalmette. La, has not yet been
made public, though received more than
three weeks ago, the belief is growing
that the documents in the case were more
favorable to the Boer contention than was
at first supposed.
