BOER ENJOYS PLEASED.
Hold Capture of Methuen to Be Greatest
Victory of War

The news that Methuen was Delarey's
Vessels and Wolmarans, at the New Will
lard Hotel yesterday, than to anyone in
America. Yet it was received by them
with less joyful demonstrations than by
many Americans who read it in their
papers.
The Beers were thankful for the vic
tory, for they know it. will help their
cause. But they seemed rather saddened
at the fact that such disastrous con-
fiict should have taken place. For they
know too well the ways of the English
press censor to think that the reverse
and the slaughter is not greater than re-
ported.

Delarey a Great Fighter.
GEN. METHUEN UNDER COVER.
Not Much Heard of Him Since His De-
feat at Modder River.

Not much has been heard of Lord
Methuen lately in the South African re-
ports, but in the early days of the war
his name was frequently in the de-
spatches, fighting about the Moddnr
River. whose passage he effected at
terrible cost He was born In 1915 of
family famous as soldiers and diploma
lists. He entered the Scots Guards as
lieutenant in 1864 and for some years
saw no service. but finally secured per-
mission to go 10 the gold coast in 1873.
The following year, for distinguished
conduct he was appointed brigade major
in Ashanti In 1877 he became assistant
military secretary to the commander in
chief In Ireland and after being a mill
tary attache in Berlin, assistant adjutant
general and assistant quartermaster gen
eral for the home district, he was, In 1882.
appointed to the important post Of com
mandant at headquarters in Egypt. Soon
after the Bechuanaland' campaign he was
appointed deputy adjutant general in
South Africa, aud in 1890 he becamy 4
major general. He succeeded to the peer
age in 1891. and from 1892 TO 1897 he was
in command Of the London home district.
Displayed Energy.
At the outbreak OF the Boer war he
was appointed to the command OF .he First
division OF the British army, and dis
played much energy, until he met with
the severe reverse at Magersfontein,
where part OF the Highland Brigade
was almost annihilated. He was so Grip
pied that he was compelled to retire upon
the Modder River and entrench. At this
time his leadership was fcrccly criticised
but in the later stages of the war he had
somewhat retrieved his reputation by his
energetic pursuit OF Boer commandos and
his occasional captures of men and cat
tie.
After Magersfontein It was reported
that Lord Methuens 5 health had shown
signs OF breaking down almost immcdi-
ately after he had taken command OF his
division, and three days after the battle
OF Belmont, 1t was asserted Lord Wolse-
ley. who was thtn cOmmander-in-c chief of
the British forces, suggested TO the War
Office that he should be relieved, but this
advice was not needed, though Il was
said that there were apparent indications
thaC the generals mind was unbalanced.
He sent a number of remarkable mes
sages to the War Office. one of which
contained just three words" Darkness
after dawn" The criticism of him was
stilled by the relief OF Kimberley. Lady
Methuen on January l., 1900, issued an
absolute contradiction of the reports re-
garding her husbands health.

Is a Big Victory.

Coming at this time. the capture Of
Methuen will be the greatest victory OF
the war" said the Rev. H. d. Brock
iuysen, of Pretoria who has been a mem
Der of the Boer delegation which has been
in Washington for over week.
They will not let Methuea go. yon can
wager on that They know that he is the
pet of aristocratic London, and that more
will probably be done to secure his re-
lease than would perhaps for any other
Office.
"They won't hold all the prisoners. Only
a few officers and Methuen. The capture
will have a great effect on Cape Colony.
There the British are strong only in the
towns which they have garrisoned. The
country population is Dutch. with their
feelings continually racked by the sight
of the RECOMMENDATION camps.
There will not be an open revolt, but
the burghers who have been told by the
British that the Beers have been sub
dued, will. reassured by the English re-
verse, slip away to the Transyaai, where
they can get arms. ~
II know Delarey WELL He is our great
fighter. He comes from the Orange Free
State and was a member OF the Volks-
radt from Lichtenburg. He is farmer
there. and an unusually well educated
man of about sixty-four.
Wife Is With Him.
'He is accompanied on all his marches
by his wife. who is eight years his Junior,
with loyal and determined spirit. She
helps to care for the wounded
Mr.. Montagu White, the American
agent of the Beers, was highly elated at
the victory. Messrs. Vessels and VOL
marans expressed much satisfaction. but
seemed rather iowncast at the thought OF
a serious conflict on their native yeldt.

WHY VACCINATION PARTY FAILED
Ofice Boy 'swiped" Doctors Points
for Toothp!ci.s

It all happened througl q fatal er-
ror of the health officer leaving TN
guarded for TIE brief period OF three
minutes a bundle OF toothpicks, such
as are used by practitioners n rub
bing the vaccine virus in the arm
after it has been applied, and as a
consequence one of the largest Of the
numerous vaccination parties now be
ing held in the business district had
to be called off.
The employees OF Il large wholesale
establishment had been summoned,
and with arms barred and sacrificed
expression on their faces awaited the
ordeal, when the aftabte but unpopu-
lar member Of Dr. Lederle's vaccine
corps stepped into an inner Office TO
sEeaiz with the proprietor, leaving his
implements behind.
This was too great chance for Tom
my, the Office boy, says the New York
Mail and Express. Who began to in
vestigate, and who. possessed u Il
sense OF the eternal fitness ot things,
thought his mouth fer one and his
pockets for the othC. a better rest
ing place for the toothpicks than an
atmosphere Of virus and cutcIe knives
Say" he explained eontidentially to
a bosom friend after the health officer
in calling the party off had passed
some rather personal remarks On tic
full duties Of an Office boy, ii Gey use
foothpicks fer vaccinating, DO yer
suppose dey'd use a coal shovel fer de
