THE JAMESON RAID.
Rhodes Realized It Would Be a
Blunder.

When the late Cecil Rhodes, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, was told that his agent
in Rhodesia, Dr. Jameson. had crossed
the Transvaal frontier with a band of
raiders, bent upon the capture of Jo-
hanneSburg, he was so utterly astound
ed that for a time he lost the faculty
of coherent expression. Pacing up and
down his library at Groote Schurr, he
spent an entire night muttering to him
self and declaring over and over again
that it was impossible that Jameson
could have been such a fool. He had
supplied the raiders with arms and
equipments-this he afterward publicly

that Rhodes would have no chance of
recalling him. Rhodes may have made
many mistakes. but he was never di-
rectly responsible for blunder, and the
Jameson raid was one of the biggest
plumbers of modern times. 1t is small
wonder that when the South African.
dictator heard the news he was ratified,
but it is to his credit that he stood by
Jameson to the end and never sought
to clear his own skirts by denouncing
or repudiating his friend.

ONLY MALVAR AT LARGE.
All but One of the Insurgent Leaders
Have Been CAPTURED.

Manila, March 27.-Noriel, the only
inSurgent general, with the exception
of Malvar, still in the field, has been
captured by Lieutenant Frank e. BAN
ford, of the Twenty eighth infantry.
A major. a captain, a lieutenant and
five men who were acting as a body
guard to Noriel we're captured with him.
They have all been held as prisoners of
war. There is some reason to believe
that one member of this bodyguard is
General Malvar in disguise. Lieutenant
Bamford is certain that if this general
is not one of the captured party he is in
the Immediate neighborhood of the place
where Noriel was captured.
Noriel has been one of the recognized
leaders of the insurrection since 1899
He was captured on his way to the
coast while endeavoring to escape. He
admits that the Instruction, as such, is
over, and says that the few remaining
leaders are fleeing as they do not COM
mand enough men to warrant surren-
ders commensurate with their rank.

first minister from Cuba to the United

representative TO Cuba will be a full
11edged minister and not a commission

less than two hundred applications on
file for these consulateS and the send

subject is expected to increase this

The president has not indicated the
person he will name as United States
minister to Cuba, but in view of the
fact that this official must negotiate the
treaties with the new republic it is ex-
pected that the choice will fall upon

the case of Captain Peter c. Dening

of the United States supreme court.
