BRITISH ARMY ESTIMATES.
REDUCTION OF NEARLY ESQ.,
 GOO, GOO FROM LAST FEAR.
The Principal Failing on in the Ez- penses for south AfrIca-Iudia Com csded Priority In the supply of New Pattern Rlfl-s and Artiiiery-second Report on Army Reform.

London, Feb. 2S.-War Secretary Forsters explanatory statement of the estimates was issued tonight. The es- inmates for the coming year are sl44,- 800, 900 against SIP, 300 900 last year. The principal reduction is in this years estimates for South Africa, which total $SO. O.O7O.OOO
 Secretary Forster's estimates make no provision for expenditures in Somal- iland owing to the impossibility of fore casting the duration of operations there. He announces that it has been decided to concede the priority of India in the supply of new pattern rifles and quick firing equipment for horses and field artillery. The equipment of the whole army will be completed by March, 1907.
 The report of the Lord Fisher commit tee has been issued and gives details of the proposed war office reform. The most important recommendation of the committee is the creation of a general staff which, in the words of-the commit tee, Consists of a department devoting undivided attention to military prob lems in the widest sense and body of officers occupied in time of peace II training all ranks of the army and pro- ceed to direct operations in the field
 Other important recommendations are the organization of the army by brlgades instead of army corps. the crea tion of five generals commanding in chief, commanding troops in fire dis tricts. freed from routine work which will henceeorth be entrusted to eight administrative districts under major generals and the abolition of the linked battalion system.
 With a view to insuring the infusion of new blood, the committee urges four years as the maximum period during which an officer shall serve as military member of the army council. He should then resume active service for at least one year before again serving in the council. The same rule, the committee urges, should be enforced throughout the military staff of the war office.
 In order to emphasize the allegiance of the army to the king, the committee recommends that nobody except the king or his representatives abroad should hold levees, and the committee also urges that no levees should be held except by royal command.
 A feature of the report which meets with general approval is the final dis appearance of the Brodrick system in volved in the abolition of the army corps. with the exception of the first or expeditionary army corps at Aldershot, which is still retained.

NARROWING SEA EXPERIENCE.
Fire and storm Attack steamer Queen
 Fourteen Lives Lost

Port Townsend. Wash. Feb. 2S.-Af- ter suffering the most narrowing exper- fence from fire and storm that has ever befalen craft on the North Pacific coast the steamer Queen to-day put in here to report the loss of fourteen lives. The list of dead follows:
 First-class passengers-Miss Steiner. clellum, Wash, drowned; Mrs. Adams. died from exposure.
 second-class passengers-D. News bury Texas; H. Buckley. both drowned.
 Members of the crew-A. Nielsen, J. Nielsen and H. Preitas. stewards; W. H. Eneman, M. Somers, H. Douglass, A. Donnelly and - Raymond. engi- neering department; Peter Mullen and M Flynn.
 About S:45 o'clock Saturday morning. while off the mouth of the Columbia river, the Queen caught fire in her af- ter saloon in some unexplained way. The fire rapidly gained headway and threatened soon to envelope the whole ship. The heavy seas running meant death to any sent away in the lifeboats. The flames became more and more threatening until, when it seemed a choice of deaths, Captain Cousins or dered the lifeboats launched. They were manned by the crew and ordered to remain close to the ship. Into these the women and children were placed. Hardly, however, had the boats been cast loose than, unable to weather the fierce waves, two Of them were cap sized.
 The passengers and those of the crew who remained on board continued their fight against the flames with increasing success until at TAO a. m. the fire was brought under control. When it was thought that the danger from fire was past Captain Cousins recalled the life boats and the occupants were taken on board
 The Queen was headed for the mouth of the Columbia river and about nine o'clock the steamer Santa Monica was sighted. The Queen signalled and ask ed her to stand by until temporary re- pairs could be made. When everything had been made safe the Queen contin- ued on to the mouth of the Columbia, only to find that the bar was too rough to cross in. The distressed craft was pointed toward Puget sound, but bad fortune still pursued, and when she rounded Cape F'lattery she encountered a terrific electrical storm. With diffi- culty she weathered the gale and pro- ceeded to Seattle, where she arrived about nightfall.

cite interest or attract unusual atten- tion. I have always been among those who condemn in the strongest terms crimes of whatsoever character com mitted by members of my race and I condemn them now with equal severity. but I maintain that the only protection of our civilization is fair and calm trial of all people charged with crime. and in their legal punish ment if proved guilty. There is no shadow of excuse from legal methods in the cases of individuals accused of murder. The laws are, as a rule, made by the white people. and their execu- ton by the hands of the white people, so that there is little probability of any guilty eolored man escaping.
 These burnings without trial are in the deepest sense unjust to my race; but it is not this injustice alone which stirs my heart. These barbarous scenes, followed. as they are, by the publication of the shocking details. are more dis graceful and degrading to the people who infiict the punishment than those who receive it.
 -- lUe 4stW IS u1Sl rSo1 QtQ Wilcl q negro is concerned it will soon be disre- garded when white man is concerned, and beside, the rule of the mob destroys the friendly relations which should exist between the races, and injures and in terferes with the material prosperity of the communities concerned.
 Worst of all these outrages take place in communities where there are Christian churches; in the midst of peo- pie who have their Sunday schools, their Christian Endeavor societies, and Young Mems Christian associations, where collections are taken. up for send ing missionaries to Africa and China and the rest of the so-called heather world.
 ''Is it not possible for pulpit and press to speak out against these burnings in manner that shall arouse a public senti- ment that will compel the mob to cease insulting our courts, our governors and our legal authority, cease bringing shame and ridicule upon our Christian civilization.

 Wing To-day.
 Medford, Mass, Feb. 28.-Rev. George A. Cooke, the West Medford pastor who a few weeks ago challenged the ortho- doxy of Professor B. P. Bowne. of Bos- ton university, will tomorrow mail to Dr. Charles S. Wing, presiding elder of the Brooklyn North district of the New York East Methodist conference, a re- vised list of charges. In his communi- cation to the presiding elder Mir. Cooke has withdrawn the charges of heresy originally made against Professor Bowne, but has substituted others which he believes to be more in har- mony with the laws of the church. The new charges do not differ materially from those previously made, except that in connection with each specifica- ton quotations from the writings of Professor Bowne are appended, indicat- ing the words to which exception has been taken.

BURNINGS AT THE STAKE.
Booker T. Washington Writes Strong
 Letter on Subject.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2S.-The Age Herald tomorrow will publish the fol- lowing letter from Booker T. Washing ton:
 within the last fortnight three members of my race have been burned at the stake; of these one was a woman. Not one of the three was charged with any crime even remotely connected with the abuse of a white woman. In every case murder was the sole accusa- ton. All of these burnings took place in broad daylight, and two of them oc- cured on Sunday afternoon, in sight of Christian church.
 'In the midst of the nations busy and prosperous life, few, fear, take time to consider whither these brutal and inhuman practices are leading. The custom of burning human beings has become so common as scarcely to ex-

Havana, Feb. zS.-The congressional elections. the first ever conducted en- tirely under Cuban auspices, were quiet and well conducted. Predictions of dis turbances at certain points caused some apprehension, but so far as reported nothing unusual occurred,
 Secretary of the Interior Zero and General Rodriguez, commander of the Rural guards, received despatches throughout the day from all parts of the island and informed the Associated Press that not in a single instance was disorder reported.
 Cienfuegos, which was the scene of disturbances during the campaign, was no exception to his freedom from dis order. Rural guards had been placed there with view to their quick availa- bility should they be needed, but they were found to be unnecessary.

kations Of the last few days were con- fined to supplies for the transport corps and to 4,500 ponies. The total number of troops landed is 20.O00, including the Twelfth division and portion of the Second division The guards have not yet arrived. The artillery consists of six batteries belonging to the Twelfth division. Another disembarkation, be- heved to be on a smaller scale, is oc- curing immediately south of Haiju. whence the troops will advance parallel to the Pekin road. joining those in the neighborhood of Hwangja, thus effect ing a gain of five days on the march.
 It is supposed, says the correspondent. that 5000 troops with a few guns are now advancing beyond Seoul towards Ping Yang, where 150 Japanese have arrived.
 The advance of the Russian patrols is steadily marked by the Interruption of the telegraphs which were broken at the organization of the army by brig Anju on February 21.
 There is no trustworthy information concerning the Russian movements. The Coreans estimate that up to February 21, 5000 Russians crossed the frontier, 1000 being at Wiju, 1000 and Chasun and the remainder scattered in small parties.
 The approach of warmer weather and the gradual breaking up of the roads. continues the correspondent, is reported to make marching laborious north of Seoul. This circumstance, together with the fact that Chemulpho will open in a fortnight, doubtless explains the Hull in the process of disembarkation. It is believed that the Japanese will not commit themselves to definite plan of campaign which would entail marching through Corea without first endeavoring to gain possession of the Liao Tung peninsula
