STORIES TOLD BY GEN. W
The sheridan Of south Africa Tells
of some Incidents of the
war.

What be calls the most wonderful OF all
the escapes that God allowed me in the
whole course Of the war" is thus described
BY General Dewets "On the third evening
AZ sunset q Hottentot came 70 me. He said
that his haas. whose family lived about
twelve miles from the farm OF CoAdmandant
Mel, had laid down his arm and that he
could not remain in the service Of the wife
Of such a bad 'baas.' He asked me IL he
could not become one OF my 'achterrijders'
AS be was stIll speaking to me Landdrost
Bosnian. from Bothaville, came 10 pay me
a visit. Good l said to the Hotts1tot. L
shall see you about this again For /
wished to cross-question him. I then went
into the house with the landdrost and spent
a good deal Of time In writing with him.
Late in the evening he went back to Botha-
willie and l to bed exactly at IL o'clock. I
had scarcely lain down when the Hottantot
came back to my thoughts and I began to
grow uneasy. I got up and went to the
outhouse where my KAfir slept. / woke
him up and asked him where the Hottentot
was. oh. he is gone. he replied. to go and
fetch his things to go with the baas.' I at
once felt that there wos something wrong
and went and called my men. I told them
to saddle up and went of with my stan to
the farm OF Mr.. schoeman On the valsch
river. TO the east Of Bohtaville. On the
following morning before daybreak a force
Of 200 English stormed the farm Of Com
maudant Mel. They had come to take me
prisoner"
At Potehesfstroom Dewet sat for a photo
graph. which aftsrward became we'll known
and in which the Boer leader holds a rife
in his hands. He thus tells the history Of
the weapon: When the enemy passed
through PotehefstroOm on their way to Pre-
toria they left a garrison behind them and
many burshers went there TO give up their
arms, which forthwith were burned In =
heap. When the garrison left the dorp the
burghers returned. Among them were some
who set to work to make butts for the rifles
that had been burnt. This rife, I was told
By the man who showed It to me. is the
2OOth that has been taken out Of the burnt
heap and repaired This made such an i'm
preston on me that ! took II in my hands
and had my photograph taken vita it."
In describing another OF his escapes from
the British. General Devet says: II de-
cided on climbing the Magalies mountains
without a path or road. Near by there was
a Kafir hut and l rode up to It. When the
KRfir came out to me / pointed to the Ma
gales mountains and asked: Right before
US. can a man cross there7' No. baas. you
cannot the Kanfr answered. Has a man
ever ridden across here7 Yes. baas.' re-
piled the Kafhr. long ago Do baOoons
walk acToss?' Yes, balloons do. but not q
man Come on l said 10 my burghers.
This is or only way and where a baboon
can cross we can cross" After a terrible
climb. much Of the time in full view OF the
enemy below, the burghers escaped.

UPRISING AGAINST TURKEY
Macedonian Question Already BeRiu-

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-while the Veneer
uela anair still has precedence as the lead
ing foreign question. there Is a general
feeling in Fleet street that it will speedily
be oveTshadOved by the Macedonian ques-
tlcn.
\ formidable insurrection against the
Turks is expected in the early spring by
nearly all writer's who are following the
course of events in the Balkans.
Predictions Of a similar nature have been
made year after year, but never with equal
confidence since the preliminary stages OF
the last war between Russia and the porte.
The Turkish government clearly expects
trouble and the Russian and Austrian gov
ernments also dread a movement from Bull
Earia which they canno control. since they
cannot agree upon a joint policy.

SOCIABLE A. c. TO
ERECT CLUB HOUSE
Committee Appointed at a Special
Meeting To Look For Lot
And Building.

At special meeting of the Sociable
A. O., held in their rooms on Park
avenue last week, building commit
tee was appointed for the purpose of
purchasing lot for the erection of
the new club house which the mem
bers of the club expect to erect very
shortly. The committee consists Of
Lars Larsen, chairman; Fl. P. Hansen
and s. Clemenson.
The committee wants a lot about
35x100 feet. The Sociable club has
enough money in the bank at the pres
ent time to buy the lot free and clear
and still have littl left to start the
building.
After the building is started the
club may borrow the necessary sum
to complete the work. There are many
members of the club who could loan
the necessary cash to finish the work
and it is said they have expressed
their willingness to do so. In very
short time it is probable that the So
ciable A. O. will boast of one of the
finest club houses in Perth Amboy.
