ALFONSO GROWING POPULAR
Young Spanish King Possesses Good
VIII and Great Energy.

Young Spanish King Possesses Good
VIII and Great Energy.
The New York Herald's European
edition publishes the following from
its Paris correspondent:
One of the most constant questions
one hears today is, What is the king of
Spain doing, how is he developing, and
what impression is he making on his
country?
In the Rue de In PaiX the other day
1 met n gentleman who has lived many
years in Madrid and whose business
is to watch the development of matters
in Spain. He had also just recently
come from San Sebastian. No one
could give Il better or more reliable an
swer to the above questions than he.
1 put them to him without delay. His
reply was;
THE young king is earning large
popularity. If left alone, he would be
more popular still. Left to his own
way, he loves to go everywhere, to talk
with the people and to hear what they
have to say. There is no country more
democratic than Spain. and a king to
be popular must mix with the people.
THE young king. is full of dignity.
While he thus loves to mix with the
people, to try to understand and make
friends with them, he never for one
moment loses sight and sense of his
position and what is due to himself.
But he is very often surrounded by old
generals, men who do not go with the
times and do not understand the needs
of the country. He got rid of the old
generals on his Asturias trip"
"How?"
''He simply tired them clear out. He
is very energetic. and they had TO give
up
But has he not good advisers?"
Eyes, the Duke de SotomayOr and
the Duke de Nina, both the kind of
men who may be counted upon as the
very best advisers and up to date. The
Duke de Sotomayor, although of the
old nobility. fully realizes the wants CT
the Spanish people and the calls or
modern times"
''Then has the young king got rid of
the old generalsf'
only for n time. 1t was noticed
that when the queen mother returned
they all formed a ring around him
again. a ring which has for its object
that he hears nothing and does not
come into contact with the people"
But YOU think he has character
eyes. plenty of it if left alone. and
lots of good will and energy, rare quail
tiles in Spain"

FOUGHT IN
BOER WAR
Chicago Boy Says Thous-
ands of Americans
Helped England.
MANY DEEDS OF VALOR
Stars and Stripes in
Thick of the
Battle.
MANY DEEDS OF vALOR

More than 5000 Americans fought
for the British during the Boer war,
according to Noel Talbot, a Chicago
boy, nephew of Walter c. Hateley,
who has just returned from South
Africa after two syears' continuous
service in Paget's horse, a regiment OF
irregular cavalry, says a special cable
dispatch from London to the Chicago
News. Talbot asserts that most of
the dashing work on the British side
done by regiments like Kitchener's
fighting scouts, the imperial light
horse, DriscoIPs scouts and the South
African light horse was performed by
American cowboys and plainsmen, in
Guiding many who wore the service
badge of Roosevelt's rough riders.
When such dashing leaders of the
British irregular forces as Colonel
Byng and Colonel Wilson tell the story
of the operations in South Africa, Eng
land will be amazed to learn the eX-
tent and quality of the service rem
dered by Americans. In many of the
fiercest battles and skirmishes of the
campaign the "Yanks" as Tommy At
kins called them, bore the brunt of
the fighting. No fewer than several

graves on the veldt. At the famous
battle of Hebron the day was saved
by the initiative of the American mem
bers of Kitchener's scouts when the
British, after long running fight, re
covered huge droves of cattle captured
the day before by De Wet.
Every cavalry leader on the British
side admired and was anxious to have
American troopers in his ranks. The
recruiting sergeants at Durham, Port
Elizabeth and Cape Town made it
their business to await the arrival of
mule transports from New Orleans and
exhausted their responsiveness in in
ducing the Americans on board to en-
dist. twenty-five days at sea, com
bined with the sight of the spick and
span khaki clad soldiers with their
$50 bounty and SIPS a day, attracted
whole regiments of adventurous spir-
its.
and stripes often under Boer fire. The
South African light horse regularly
flew the American flag, which waved
in the very press of the bloody battle
of Vlakfontein. The Yankees were the
life of many a disheartened British
camp. Wherever they were one heard
the click of poker chips and the echo
Of dice, but when there was fighting
to be done those British commanders
who. had company of Americans felt
themselves doubly armed.
