History
Of Events Leading to the Boer War
By a Leader.

Releasd by time by an oath not to
talk on South African affairs or re-
veal any of the inside as to the
events leading up to the Boer war
for period of years, John Hays
Hammond, who was conspicuous in
that war, broke his silence for the
first time at a dinner of the Clover
Club, at Boston recently.
Hammond said the Jameson raid
was the result of the activities of a
reform association formed at johann
nesburg, consisting largely of Amer
leans.
L want especially" said Ham
mond, to correct misunderstand-
ing. 1t has been said we were act
ing under the British flag. That is
false.
Much sympathy has been wasted
on Dom Paul. Kruger. He was op-
posed to progress, believed the
world was. flat and that the devil
had a tail. His impositions were
such as no man of the Anglo. Saxon
race would have tolerated.
THE reform movement against
Kruger was not an English move
ment. jameson came into the fight
against our wishes and against the
wishes of the British high commits.
sioner. / sent word to him to go
back, and when he persisted, the
only thing to do was to bluff Krue-
ger into believing that we had more
arms than we really had. We did
so, and Kruger sent over an olive
branch to johannesburg. They
agreed to all but two things, and
that was that no contract should be
accepted with a Catholic or a Jew.
This we fatty refused.
Kruger played false with the
reform committee after the Jameson
raid, broke all his promises and af-
ter he had secured the arms in
johannesburg through Sir Hercules
Robinson, he arrested the entire
committee. He gave the men to
understand that if they pleaded
guilty they would be let off with a
fine. Instead, they were sentenced
to be hanged within twenty-four
hours.
An emphatic dispatch from Sc
cretary Olney caused Kruger and
the Boer council to hesitate and, af-
ter an all-night session, the council
voted to commute the sentences to
life prisonment.

Puunene
Carnival
Exhibition Of Swimming and living
a Credit to the Club.

The water carnival at Puunene
last Saturday evening was most sue
cessful. 1t was a success both from
the spectators andcontestant'sview
point. The immense crowd present
were kept in state of expectancy
during the entire exhibition, and
one of the most praiseworthy feat
ures of the whole affair was the
promptness with which the differ
ent events followed one another.
Messrs Comes and Mcclure, dressed
in their fantastic togs added just
enough hilarity to the genuine con-
tests to allow the spectators to relax.
While the time made in the races
was slower than last year, the fin
ishes were so close in every instance
that the slow time was forgotten.
The first event, "a twenty-five
yard sprint was won by inches by
Ralph Walker, with Lufkin second,
time Is 1-5 seconds.
The fifty yards was another event
captured by Walker, and Lufkin
again coming second, with Scholtz
third, time 80 As.
The Juvenile race was won by
Jack Walker, with Sanford Walker
second in % 2-5 seconds. There
appears to be no youngsters here
equal to the task of making little
Jack Walker extend himself.
Lufkin captured the 100 yard
dash in the slow time of 1 minute
and % seconds. This event was
won last year by Bob Hughes in
1:14.
The 220 yards event was won by
Alfred Taylor, with Crook second.
A special relay race between Paia
and Puunene was won by the latter
quite handily. Not content with
this, and determined to have
revenge, Harold Rice challenged E.
F. Deinert to twenty-five yards
sprint. Rice lowered the colors of
the Puunene man and thus the Paia
contingent were happy.
The diving was the feature of the
evening. Each contestant was pro-
ficient, in his own special style.
Perhaps the prettiest dive of the
evening was that of Alfred Taylor.
1t seemed as though he cut the
water like knife, and as one
spectator remarked, he hardly made
a ripple in the water. j. Garcia
was very proficient with his back
flip from the spring board for which
he received a silver cup. The most
spectacular work was that of Wren
Wescoatt and Martin Groom from
the trapeze. Both men showed
some fine work in this event, and
were heartily applauded. Wescoatt
received a cup for his work. Mar
tin Groom was presented with a cup
for fancy diving.
The dance which followed the
carnival was a fitting climax to an
evenings sport, which could not be
duplicated anywhere in the Terri
tory.
