the Americans were not monsters 10
feet tall, with horns and tails. At
Marahui he addressed 500 Moros, tell
ing them of the friendly purposes Of
the Americans. Representatives OF
Nato and Bocayutan tribes, which are
now at war, asked Captain Pershing
to arbitrate the difference between

BRITISH GOVERNMENT TRYING
TO FIND THE BULLION.
AMOUNTS TO MILLIONS
General Botha Asks That 1t Be Turn.
ed Over for Relief Of Boer
People.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-The British gov
eminent is telegraphing to all Ger
man ports making inquiries concern
ing Boer gold bars worth $3.50, 900,
which are supposed to have been
brought to this country from South
Africa within the past fortnight. The
bars are destined for former President
Kruger and DR.. Leyds, and, it is pre-
sumed, has been concealed in the
northern Transvaal. Great Britain
will endeavor to legally attach the
gold If it can be located, on the ground
that she is entitled to all assets OF
the Tr~ansvaal because she has assum-
ed responsibility for the debts of that
country, including the bonds issued
prior to the war. General Botha's
reply to Colonial Secretary Chamber-
lain, that the late Boer government
had no assets, was strictly true as
far as he knew, but since receiving
Mr.. Chamberlain's letter, General
Botha learned, according to seeming
ly trustworthy information here, that
Mr.. Kruger and DR.. Leyds have in
their possession $780, 900. General
Botha requested them to turn over
this gold for the benefit of the Boer
people, but DIR. Leyds refused, aver
ring that the money was to be used
in UNFOLDING the Boer nationality in
the future. General Botha has Motif
ed DR.. Leyds that unless the gold is
given up legal proceedings will be
brought against him.
