William k. Cultis, writing from Washington to the Chicago Rec ord Herald, says: ''lt was a great mistake for the republicans
 III the house of representatives to head off the democratic attacks upon Governor General Wood of Cuba. 1t was bad political poli- cy." Mir. Curtis thinks that the people will resent any criticism of General Woods administration and expenditure of money. He
 declares that the criticism of the brutalities i'll the Philippines lost votes to the democrats and that the criticisms of Wood will only tend to bring votes to the repub- licans. The republicans have not been able to successfully defend the brutalit.cs in the Philippines and they have not attempted to justify General Woods unlawful expenditures in Cuba.

NEW ORLEANS March .. - 1t devel-

Heard expressing tho fear that the Boer
representatives and sympathizers in New
Orleans might attack the British horse
and mule quarters at Port Chalmette,

and horses are kept awaiting shipment
to the British army in South Africa.
General Pearson, the Boer agent AT New

the United States court TO break up the
mule shipment business, wrote personal
letter TO the President on the subject.
in which he protested against the British
being allowed TO use the United States
as the base for their war supplies.
Letter From Mr.. Hay.
The letter was so emphatic in denounc-
ing the mule depot at Port ChaImette as

General Pearson intended TO organize
