GRIEF RATHER THAN ANGER.


Washington, Nov. 19-COl. John 8.
Mosby received few months ago a
letter from Judge Roulhac, of Birming-
ham, Ala, commenting on the attitude
of the southern people toward the
president personally. Col. Mosby sent
the letter to Oyster Bay, as he thought
the sentiment expressed in 1t by a
confederate veteran would be crafty
ing to the president. He received a
reply which he did not publish during
the campaign, as he felt that the presi-
dents motives In writing the letter
would be misconstrued. The letter Is
dated September 10 and Is as follows:
my Dear Col. Mosby: That is a
fine letter of Roulhac's and appre-
ciate 1t. have always been saddened
rather than angered by the attacks
upon me In the south. ! am half
southerner myself and can say with
all possible sincerity that the interests
of the south are exactly as dear to me
as the interests of the north"

Panama, Nov, 1S,-The treaty be-

by the military elements, it seems,
was more serious than it was at first
thought to be. Minister Barrett, after
a consultation with the Panama gov
eminent and Gen. Davis. commander
OF the canal zone, decided to ask Ad-
miral Goodrich to leave one of the war
ships Of the United States Pacific
squadron here to prevent any possible
disturbance. Gen. Huertas, the minis
ter Of war, has announced his intention
to resign, which will clear the political
atmosphere. Though disturbances are
not feared, in the present circum-
stances Panama is greatly excited.

KITCHENER AS A DETECTIVE
How the English General Discovered
and Executed Two Spies in
Egyptian Campaign.

Lord Kitchener, who is now COM
manding the British army In India.
has a remarkable knack Of picking up
foreign languages and native dialects.
In Egypt he proved himself able TO
learn the local dialects Of the fellaheen
within few months He was fond Of
Disgusting himself In native costume
and mixing with the people, much as
Kipling's Strickland Sahib did in In
dia.
Veterans Of the Suakin campaign tell
Of an incident which illustrates this
rare gift of Kitchener's and also his
unrelenting discipline.
The British were throwing up earth
works, on which many Of the natives
were employed. One day two strange
fellaheen came into camp and offered
their services. This was considered
suspicious, but in answer to all In
quiries they protested their loyalty to
the British cause. They were set to
work with shovels. Presently they
we're Joined by another native, with
whom they became intimate during the
day Toward evening the third native
disappeared.
Soon afterward the two strangers
were summoned to headquarters, where
Gen. Kitchener received them.
"You are Spies" he said, briefly.
They were about to deny the accusa-
ton, but they looked at him and
gasped. The British general was the
native trerch-digger with whom they
had been plotting treason during the
day .
"Take them out" said Kitchener to
the GUARDS, "and set them to work to
dig a hole big enough for two"
This was done. When they had COM
pleted their work the two spies were
shot and buried in the grave they had
themselves dug.
