.DELAREYS OWN WIFE
The Victim of Persecution by the
Man He MagnanimOusIy Re-
leased.

Amsterdam. April THE Boer bu-
reau has published a report which was
sent last January by General Delarey
TO Mr.. Kruger. and which is counter
signed by Ignatius Ferrerria, the act
ing state attorney.
This report contains numerous stories
Of alleged barbarities and is supported
by affidavits. Beside the general ac-
Cusati1ns Of placing women as screens
around the British camp as result Of
which practice many women are said
to have been killed, General Delarey
gives specific instances. with names
and dates. of the killing Of wounded
prisoners and women. He complains
that owing to Lord Methuen's persecu-
ton. his own wife. with six children,
has been wandering on the veldt for
the past year. General DelareNr COM
plains also that his mother aged So
years. was driven into klerksdorp. aft
ct her cattle had been stolen and her
house burned.
Vandernerwe. late mining minister
Of the Rand. now fighting under De
Iarey. appends a further list of atroci-
ties committed on women and children.

MANIA. April 7.-General Jacob

4 4 ANILA, April General jacob II.
M Smith. commanding the American
forces ! nthe island Of Samar. was
the only witness today at the trial by
courtmartial Of Major Waller of the
marine corps.
General Smith denied that he ever
gave Major Waller power Of life and
death exceeding general order No. 100.
He said ne received the first news of
the killings at Bashay where Major
Waller and Lieutenant Day of the ma
rine corps are charged With killing
three natives.
General Smith explained that his or
der to Ma ior Waller about not being
bun dened with plssonefs neant 90 dis
arm and release those prisoners who
were not charged with serious Of
lenses. He said he had not understood
the meaning of Major Walters tele-
gram about 'eXpending eleven prison
ers."
The official report of Lieutenant
Stroller Of the Philippine scouts on the
capture of the insurgent General LUX
ban has been published, and IS endorsed
by General Smith, who considers the
report concise and graphic.
1t is impossible for anyone not ac-
qUainted with the island OF Samar says
General Smith, to realize the difficulties
and hardships of the expedition. Streb-
ler's command is entitled to the highest
praise for one of the most important
captures ever made in the Philippines.
General Smith strongly recommends
that Stroller be given a commission as
first lieutenant in the regular army,

soudation Of railway corporations, it
Is a municipal or police law, and not

Griggs Files an Answer.
He contends that neither the courts
OF the United States nor of any other
Jurisdiction outside The state OF Wash
iHgrOn win lend their aid to the en-
fOrceme-t OF the DOlice laws of Wash
iugtOn. He points out that none of
the acts complained of is alleged TO
have been done within the jurisdiction
of the state Of Washington. and says.
Every specific thing charged in the
bin Of complaint as having been done
by the Northern Securities company
and its stockholders, and by the stoc'--
holders Of the tNo railway companies
was in the exercise Of a usual, univer-
sally conceded right in and over "a per-
sclal property-the right TO buy, sell,
hOli and vote stock, and to pay ana
receive dividends thereon The sug-
gested injury that is feared is admitted
20 spring from the fact that one per
son, or a number of persons who are
trolling interest in the stock of two
competing lines Of railway; a thing
NOT forbidden by the law Of Washing
ton or any other state. II is certainly
an astonishing proposition that WASH
ington has right to complain that
gigantic corporation has acquired
majority q capital stock of two rail-
road companies, one a Wisconsin cor
porauon and the other a Minnesota
company, merely because the railroad
companies operate roads iE Washing
ton"
NJ. Griggs also makes the assertion
that, 'as a matter of fact. none of de-
PENDANTS has combined or made any
contract for any Of the purposes
charged" Quoting the laws of Wash
Ington bearing on this point. he SAYS:
Nothing In any of these sections
forblds one person, whether q natural
person or corporation, from acquiring
q majority of the stock in two compet-
ing rClWay companies"
