CAPTAIN CARTER
 IS FATALLY ILL
HIS ONLY FEAR IS THAT HE WILL DIE BEFORE HIS AFFAIRS ARE ARRANGED FOR HIS vINUiIA- TON.

Leavenworth, Kan, April S.-Oberlin NJ Carter, ex-Captain of Engineers in the United States army, is seriously and prob ably fatally i'll at the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. He has typhoid fever and this afternoon his temperature was 1o51A. Carter's only fear Is that he will die before his affairs are arranged. He sent an urgent telegram to his attor- pey MT. Stone, of Chicago, asking him to come at once. There is suit now pending wherein this government is try ing to obtain possession of Carter's prop erty claiming 1t as part of the booty he secured while in charge of governm ent contract work at Savannah. This will really amount to a civil trial, the thing Carter has made repeated but vain ef- forts to secure.
 Carter says he wants MT. Stone here so he can finish preparing the brief. Then Carter says the fight for the vindication can be carried on after his death should his illness prove fatal. Carter's relatives and attorney will arrive tomorrow.

Washington, April 3,-General Samuel Pearson, form erly of the Boer army, has just returned to Washington from New Orleans, where he went to gather proof t1 substantiate his charge that the Brit ish authorities in Louisiana had, in viola ton of the laws of neutrality, set up a regular military establishment from which their army in South Africa was be- ing furnished with men, horses, mules and supplies General Pearson made this charge in a letter to President Roosevelt, who, he says, sent it to Governor Heard, of Louisiana, for proofs.
 General Pearson tonight declared that America had contributed at least 42,oO0 men to aid the British in their fight against the Boers and had furnished the British government with 201.1T horses and mules. The men, he declared, con- sisted of multeers shipped from New Or leans, some of whom have been compelled to enlist against the burghers; and paid

agents and men who are sent throughout the country to buy up horses and mules. lie said there are one British general, two colonels and sixty captains and lieu tenants in this country now with head quarters at New Orleans
 The general alleged that although men are engaged with the understanding that when they reach Capetown they may re- turn on the first ship leaving for the United States, their passage is refused or long delayed and every effort brought to bear on them to enlist in the British army. With every ship load of mules sent to South Africa the disguised British officers in charge of the transport and cargo, he said, employ, small army of men to take care of these animals, hir- ing enough men to assign one to every two or three mules. The men who hire as muleteers or stable hands, the general added, are of the lowest class and care little what they do or where they go He claims the British also have failed to keep contracts with the men, leaving them penniless in a strange land.
