Yankee Methods Effective
Against Rsbslious Tribes.
Kitchener Is Whipping the zak-
kakheIs Into Submission.
Tribssmsn Are Being Gathered In.
to Concentration Camps.

London, Feb. 27.-Lord Kitchener's
little frontier war in the Bazaar valley
against the Zekkakhels tribesmen is
making rapid successful progress. The
purpose of the expedition is to pun.
ish the tribesmen for numerous raids
into India territory, and in a remark
ably short campaign they have been
scattered and broken, their forts have
been destroyed and many of them have
been killed. None of the neighboring
tribes have Joined the Zakkakhels and
the head men of the Zakkakhels are
trying to arrange terms Of peace.
The government has announced that
it does not intend permanently to oc-
cupy the country and the troops will
be withdrawn very soon after the raid
ers have been given a good whipping.
1t will doubtless be necessary, how
ever. to repeat this punishment occas-
sionally in the future, for. such has
been the experience of the past.
The expedition is thought here to
reflect credit upon the re-organiza-
ton of Indian army as carried out by
Lord Kitchener. General Sir James

ton, with 5000 men and a few noun

by its activity and the employment of
up-to-date methods than much
larger expedition could have accom-
plished in months. The force has lost
only two officers and few men. TOM
my Atkins is profiting by the lessons
learned from the Russo-Japanese war
and he is being taught to follow the
tactics used b. the American army in
its Indian campaigns and in fighting in
the Philippines.
The British troops advanced into the
enemy's country in open order with
wide intervals between them. The men
took advantage of. all available cover.
When they came in contactrwith the
enemy they won their ground by short
rushes. This method of procedure
surprised and disheartened the natives,
who We're accustomed for their snip
ing tactics to the targets made by tho
more Or less compact column forma-
ton employed by previous expeditions.
The British made use of mines tn
blow up nests of snipers who worked
at night Only two newspaper cor
respondents went with the column and
the Indian newspapers complain of the
censorship.
From the reports of the British ex-
pidition it is seen that General Kitch-
ener adopted the scheme of concen-
tration camps such as Gen. j. Frank
lin Bell Of the American army organ
lied in the Philippines and it is known
that the British commander proposes
to employ the methods of Indian war
fare whenever he can. All the natives
in the disturbed Zakkakhels territory
will be invited to enter the concentra-
ton camps and be supported by the
government ind all those who stay out
side will be treated as enemies.

the fire had spread throughout the
third floor, cutting off all escape by
the stairways. Even before the firemen
arrived the fire escapes were crowded
with scantily clad and frightened men
and women, many of them carrying
children in their arms.
SO closely were the tenants crowded
on the fire escapes that the openings
were choked and they remained there
helpless until the fremen raised lad
ders and took them down to the street.
Several persons who were caught by
TIE rush of flames on the third floor
were badly burned. Calegro Barberette
and his 19year-old daughter Lena in
hailed flames and are in a critical con-
ditior. Several others who were taken
to a hospital suffering from burns and
bruises. will recover.
The second fire was in an apartment

Lima Sorry Visit Of American Fleet Is
Nearly Over.

Lima, Peru. Feb. 2T.-Today Lima is
regretting that the stay of the Amer
lean fleet is drawing to a close, and
the visiting sailors and officers are
sorry that in two short days shore
leave and entertainment will give
place to the routine duties Of the feet
at sea. The entertainments have been
constant, brilliant and successful; the
sailors have enjoyed their excursions
and shopping expeditions and they
have maintained the reputation that
the man afloat has for spending his
money when he is ashore. Thousands
of men had liberty, but there has been
no unpleasant incident or clash with
the people of either Callao or Lima.
There was an informal reception on
the battleship Connecticut yesterday
afternoon which was followed by q
supper and dancing which lasted until
midnight. The warship was fancifully
decorated for the occasion. -..
The fleet is to leave here Saturday

already been chartered to take out
