TERRITORY.

Washington, Feb. g. -- Gen Samuel
Pearson, late of the Boer army who
has been in this country for a wear en-
gagged in working up sentiment for the
cause OF the burghers, has sent form
al communication TO President Roose-
Welt, indicating an intention to organize
an armed force of Boer sympathizers
at New Orleans TO make an attack on
camp established by British military
agents near that city whence horses
end mules are shipped TO the British
army In South Africa.
What action the government will
take TO prevent Gen. Pearson fronl car
rying out his expressed intention can
not be definitely ascertained, but IL Is
believed that orders have been sent to
the federal authorities at New Orleans
TO prevent the BoeT representative from

spent much time in Washington vainly

ton TO stop the shipment OF animals
from New Orleans to Cape Town. Re-
Gently he has been IN New Orleans, and
his letter to the president was written
there. He has sent several communica-
tions to the president on the subject.
but he has received TO response, and
Mr.. Roosevelt is notified that the let
ter containing the proposed attack ON
the British camp is a last solemn APP
peal" The camp is located at Port
Chalmette, a short distance from the
Crescent City, Gen. Pearson contends
that British military post has been
established there, garrisoned by British
soldiers, who. while they do not wear
scarlet or khaki uniforms, are engaged
in warlike preparations.
To Prevent BIoodshed.
Gen. Pearson has never received any
official recognition from this govern
ment, and it is not probable that his
letter will be answered. According to
his notification, a failure to receive an
answer may he followed by a hostile
movement against the camp. The gov
eminent is always careful TO Illustrate
any design that may involve il in COM
plications with a foreign power, ana
an organization of an armed force by
Gen. Pearson will certainly be followed
by interesting developments.
The government will do all in its
power to avert bloodshed, and will, If
possible, prevent any battle between
Britons and Beers on American terri
tory. The forts at the mouth of the
Mississippi are garrisoned by United
States troops. who could be quickly as
sembled at New Orleans.
