THE GREATNESS OF NAPOLEON
Extraordinary Fascination Exercised
by Famous Corsican.


by Famous Corsican.
The publication of further memoirs
of st. Helena brings before us the
extraordinary fascination exercised
by Napoleon over four generations OF
statesmen, generals and biOgraphers.
The records now being published by
the Daily Mail have the merits OF
originality and impartiality; but. like
all contemporary records, they suffer
from the fact that no one at the time
was able to appreciate the greatness
of Napoleon. The man who lives in
the history of the world long after his
contemporaries have been forgotten,
and whose statecraft and warcraft are
invoked persistently by politicians
and soldiers, is Napoleon.-Westmin-

Peace Terms.

London, April 15.-Replying in the
house of commons Monday to the
liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, who asked whether any
terms of peace had been suggested
by the Boer leaders in South Africa,
the government leader, A. j. Balfour,

say more than that q message had
been received Saturday from the Boer
leaders through Lord Kitchener, and
that a reply had been sent to them.
Further communication was expected.
1t is said that the communication
of the Boer leaders to Lord Kitchener
amounted to little more than re-
quest for permission to use the cable
in consulting Mr.. Kruger and the
Boer delegates in Europe regarding
a basis for peace settlement. There
is distinctly hopeful feeling in OFF,

Washington, April 15.-The senate

began making an investigation of the
charges to the effect that the water
cure, so-called, is practiced on the
insurgents and Charles S. Riley, OF
Northampton, Mass, formerly a SER
geant in company M, Twenty-sixth

had been in the Philippines from Oc-

reply to questions by Senator Raw
Inns he said he had witnessed the
"water cure" at Igbaras in the prov
ince Of Iloilo on November 81, 1900.
It was administered to the presidente
or chief Filipino official OF the town.
He said that upon the arrival OF his
command at Igbaras the presidente
was asked whether runners had been
sent out notifying the insurgents OF
their presence and that upon his re-
fusal to give the information he was
taken into the convent where the wit
ness was stationed and the water
cure was administered to him. When

which held about 100 gallons of wa
ter and his mouth placed directly I'M
der the faucet and held open so as
to compel him to swallow the water
which was allowed to escape from the
tank. When at last the presidente
agreed to tell what he knew he was
released and allowed to start away.
He was not, however, permitted to
escape, and upon refusing to give
further information, he was again
taken as he was about to mount his
horse and the cure administered for
the second time. He still refused and
n handful of salt was thrown into
the water. This had the desired effect
and the presidente agreed to answer
all questions.
