LORD ROBERTs's OPINION
Initial Error of Strategy Was Irritrievable.
War ofsaee Came in for General Critic ism. for Unprs,aredness- Butler Said He Was Not
 Supported.

London. Aug 2s.-The evidence given South African war Is issued today In the form of three blue books containing over 1.7oo pages Field Marshal Lord Roberts. Lord Kitchener. Field Marshal Lord Wolsely and other generals gave various reasons for the failure of the war. Lord Roberts considered the Initial error of strategy as practically irretrieva- ble. He criticised the war office with regard to the general preparations and the under-estimating of the enemy and ignorance as to the geography and ex~ tent of the country and the lack of sr- tillery and mounted infantry.
 General Sir Redvers Butler said he was hampered by the refusal of the war office to accept the plans and the failure on the part of the war ofllce to give him definite instructions and information.
 Lord Kitchener said the officers In many cases were not qualified for their work and expressed the opinion that the Juniors were peter than the seniors. He praised the men but said the chief .dif- ficulty was the lack of training of the re- servists and volunteers.
 Lord Wolseley in Q memorandum com plains that the commander-in-chief has become the fifth wheel to the coach and that the Secretary of State, for, War Is the actual commahder-in-cihef. ts
 Replying to this criticism Lord Lans- downe.. War Secretary during the earlg part of the South African war, and Mr. Brodrick, present Secretary of War, and Lord Lansdownes successor, suggested that Lord Wolseley was ignorant of many of the powers of a commander-in- chief or faifed to use them

Shaw May Deposit Receipts of Reve-

nue Department. !.t--
 Washington. Aug. 2S.-The published statement that Secretary Shaw had de- cided that under existing laws he was authorized to eegregste government re- cetpts from internal revenue sources and deposit the same at InIs discretion in na- tiona1 banks depositories does not raise new question. although such deposits as have been made heretofore had not been previously covered into the treasury. As early as 1878 1t is said. the courts of the United States held in effect that the national bank Repositories are parts of the treasury of the United States so far as their authority to hold public deposits are concerned.
 The secretary so far as can be learned, has not determined on the deposit of any further funds with national banks but after due deliberation has decided that 1t is we'll within his province to make such deposits and with view to meeting any possible money contingency hereafter he has segregated the internal revenue receipts from other receipts.

St. Louis. Aug. 2S.-During today's ses- sion of the Missouri Press Association W. O. I.

Lee. editor of the Interstate Grocer; I. N. Page, edi- tor of the Bonne Terre Star and R. B Speed. editor of the Nevada Mail The reason for the resolution was that recent poodle exposures in the state and the connection herewith of the names of the three editors did not reflect credit on the association.
 A special committee of five was ap- pointed to investigate the standing oi the three editors. Meanwhile the resolu- ton Is held over.
