GEN. CR0NJE, WITH B0ERS
AND zULUS, TO Be IN CITY
South African Inhabitants Will
Pass Through Here En- Route
to Worlds Fair.
TO BE ON EXHIBITION

Gen. Piet A. Cronje, one of the most val
liant and audacious Boer leaders in the late
Boer war with the English. will pass
through the city this morning, accompanied
by 200 Boer soldiers, 12o British soldiers who
saw service in the Boer war, fifty women
and children and twenty Zulus. Kaffirs and
Zambesis, all on their way to the St. Louis
worlds fair The South African party will
arrive here in two special trains, coming
from Cincinnati over the Big Four. They
will be here but short time.
Had it not been for delay General
Cronje and his small army would have
reached Indianapolis al clock this morn
ing. They landed at Newport News Wednes-
day morning on the steamship Doune
Castle from Cape Town via Cape Verde
islands. They arrived in Cincinnati at mid
night last night over the c. & o. from
Newport News and at o'clock were trans
ferred to Big Four specials.
At the worlds fair General Cronje and
his strange party will be a part of one of
the concessions and will give as an attrac-
tlOn a reproduction or BOer battles on
small scale.
There has been much criticism of Cronje
for leading this undertaking on the grounds
that they cannot give a representative re-
production of Boer warfare. However, Cen
eral Cronje is known one of the most
patriotic Beers and tha money made
from the exhibition will be given in part
to poor families in South Africa, he is prob
ably domina ted by patriotic motives
General Cronje was one of the three great
leaders of the Boer forces and was noted
for his bravery, bordering almost on fool
hardness. While his methods of warfare
have been criticised he has held his place
as fighter and lover of the war game.
In appearance he is said to be of rough
exterior heavily bearded with grizzly hair
He has strongly marked features and wa
terry blue eyes, which do not look one
straight in the face. His manner is said
to be rather offensive and conceited.
General Cronje was captured with 5000
men during the Boer war and was taken
TO ST. Helena, where he was held prisoner
until the close of the war.

STRICT CENSORSHIP
PREVAILS IN FAR EAST

LONDON. April S.-The brief dispatches
from the seat of war in the far East ap-
pearing in the London newspapers during
the last few days have all been of
stereotyped character, indicating that an
active censorship is prevailing there and
adding nothing to the information contained
in the dispatches of the Associated Press.
This applies particularly to points under
Japanese control; but from the Russian
side also it is evident care is being exer-
cised to prevent the news of operations
from leaking out. The japanese fleet con-
tinues to cruise not far from Port Arthur.
The Standards Che-Foo correspondent
announces that a steamer which arrived
there Thursday sighted Japanese warships
off We-Hai-Wei.

Captain Nance Not Ready

Nance, military instructor at the uni
versity, whose orders to the senior class
to preserve order when entering the
classroom caused trouble for him and
the faculty. met a deputation of seniors
to-day and with them discussed the
situation.
Joseph Loeb and Eugene Hallett,
prominent classmen, waited upon Cap
tain Nance during the afternoon and
asked for reply to their letter which
was sent the captain two days ago.
Captain Nance ignored the letter and
the seniors wanted to know what his
reason was for doing so.
Loeb and Hallett stated the seniors
case at length, and Captain Nance
heard them through. They reiterated
the arguments made in their formal
letter 10 the military instructor. and
when they finished. Captain Nance is
sued the following ultimatum. saying:
After hearing you, 1 will inform you
that l am now preparing a letter to
the senior class, which you will re-
ceive soon. do not tell you now what
that letter will contain, but l do say
that If, after you have received my
written statement, you then desire to
talk further or go further in this mat
ter, will hear you, or read your state
ments. That is ALL"
The ultimatum concluded the inter-
view. The seniors now have to specu-
late upon the character of the COM
munication which Nance says he is pre-
pairing for their perusal.
The following is the communication
filed with Captain Nance two days ago
by the seniors. who appointed the COM

BERKELEY, Nov. 9.-Dr. Archi-
bald Il. Ward. head of the department
OF veterinary science and bacteriology
at the State University, has been ap-
pealed TO. BY dairymen OF Berkeley to
investigate for them the problem OF
"ropey" milk which has worried them
for several weeks.
In some OF the diaries the milk dis
pensed would form into strings or
ropes within a few hours after the

made sour nor unpleasant TO the taste.
but the strings were objected 10 by
customers and so the dairymen sought
DR.. Wards advice. He tested the milk
and informed the dairynen that un-
sanitary conditions in their barns and
sheds were responsible for the obiec-
tionable features Of their dairy pro-
duet DR.. Ward has given the dairy

ures should be taken 20 keep the milk

reason for this departure from the traditional
manner of assembling into classrooms In the
University OF California.
2. That this misunderstanding led to re-
Deliious feelings on the part OF the members
of the class in military "a They felt that,
on the part of the faculty members issuing
them, these orders showed a lack Of regard
and consideration for the customary methods
OF instruction in this university and for the
tlnle-honored privilege OF students 70 assemble
from their previous recitation IN a manner
most convenient to them
3. That the members OF the lower classes
IN the university interpreted these orders and
their execution to be humiliation OF the
men OF the senior class which sentiment Is
hurtful 20 the proper exercise OF the senior
control advocated by faculty and students
l. That the men Of the class in military
IA made a mistake In not taking concerted
action and protesting these orders TO the
proper authorities before trouble ensued
3. But that the disturbance brought about
on Wednesday. November 2. by the attempt
TO form the members OF the class in military

the most part by the members or the three
lower classes, who rushed and scattered the
sections whenever the section marchers at

O. THAT the senior men who are registered
for the course IN military pa believe that any
attempt TO form such line In the roadway

such disturbance may Be easily avoided, dis
