MAY EMPLOY AER0PLANES.
Head Of Aeronautical Reserve Con
fers With Gen. Wood.

Aeroplanes will in all probability be
used in connection with the troops of the
army for the patrol of the Mexican Dor.
der during the present revolutionary trou-
bles in Mexico. The offer has been made
to the army for volunteer aeroplane serv-
ice from the United States Aeronautical
Reserve and probably will be accepted
John Barry Ryan, commodore Of the re.
serve, was in communication with Gen
Leonard Wood, chief of staff. last night
and the details Of the plan will be ar
ranged early next week. Gen. Wood las,
night said that the offer looked feasible
to him. He added:
II do not care to discuss the matter any
further at present, hut the experimen,
seems interesting and valuable, and ]
hope to see it tried
the troops scattered as well as possible II
border camps and patrol between the
camps with aeroplanes. If the reserve is
able to put even four or five machines al
the disposal Of the army it is thought
they can effectively cover the zone of In.
surgent activity.
It will he the first time that any serious
use has ever been made Of aeroplanes in
connection with military work. The Eu-
ropean armies have used them in ma.
neuvers, but their usefulness has beer
largely theoretical. The practical appli-
cation will be watched by all the powers
with tho greatest interest

all sensational reports that there was an
extensive outbreak Of the malady on the
vessel.
The ship sailed from Puerto Cortez,
Honduras. Wednesday for Key West, and
! Commander Cooper. In his dispatch yes
terday. stated that the vessel had been

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., February A.
There remains a division of opinion be-

whether Richard l.. Ashurst, the aged

drowned himself or wandered away while
mentally unbalanced. Some believe he
will yet be found living. and others think
he was drowned either by accident or his
own intention.
Thorough search for miles along the
beach failed to yield any traces Of his
body. The searchers declare that if he
had jumped or fallen from the pier his
hat. at least, would have been cast up
by the waves. or some articles Of clothing
would have been found.
Mr. Ashurst carried considerable cash
in his clothing, and there Is a possibility
Of his having been waylaid and robbed
and his body thrown into the sea.

kLERKSDORF, Transvaal. February
4.-Gen. Piet A. Cronje, the noted Boer
general, died today
Gen. Cronje commanded the western
army Of the South African republics in
the recent war. After numerous reverses
the British government sent out Field
Marshal Lord Roberts and Gen. Lord
Kitchener with thousands of fresh troops
to put down the Beers. All their arrange
ments were completed by the early part
of February; 1900. Gen. Cronje and his
Boer forces were too greatly outnunl-
bered to Withstand the avalanche which
fell upon them. February 1S Cronje was
brought to bay at q point on the Modder
river. near Paardeberg. where he de-
Tended himself for nine days, in a posi-
ton that was impregnable to assault, but
greatly exposed to artillery fire from the
surrounding heights.
After suffering to such = degree that
his men would endure no more, Cronje
surrendered February q. the anniversary
Of Majuba. The British had drawn IN
closer each night and heavy bombard-
ment had been kept up. At 3 o'clock In
the morning the Canadians. backed by
the Gordons and Shropshires, rushed the
enemys trenches, and three hours later
the Beers laid down their arms uncondi-
tionally. The prisoners numbered 1000.
Anarchy Was Prevalent.
In 1877 anarchy was prevalent In the
Transvaal, and the annexation of the
colony 0or protection) to the British
dominions was proclaimed. It was de-
clared a crown colony in December. 1879.
A few days later the Beers met and
claimed independence. They seized Hei-
| delberg and established the South African
| republic. with Kruger as president, De-
cember II, 1880.
Gen. Cronje besieged Potchefstrom.
which was occupied by the British. and
E! in the following March received its
capitulation, keeping the garrison in ig-
norance of the fact that an armistice had
been declared. Commissioners to carry
| out a treaty Of peace were appointed and
Po1chefstrom was given up as having
been occupied by mistake.
CrOnje was instrumental in frustrating
| the Jamison raid in Krudersdorp in 1896
| 96. He was q member of the executive
council Of the Transvaal republic and
chief native commissioner. He was born
! about 1885.

my countrymen most fervcntly desire is
the right to govern themselves and to
become, without restriction Of any kind, a
free and independent nation"
This was the declaration made tonight
by Manuel L. Quezon. delegate to Con
gress from the Philippine Islands. in an
address before the Beacon Society of
Boston.
Whether this result shall be most ex-
providing for the naturalization of the
islands, continued the delegate, "or
whether the speedier course would be
through the establishment of an Amer
sican protectorate, i do not here pretend
to say, but whatever the method select
ed to bring about this result. the fact re-
mains that the Filipino people look con-
fidently forward to the early realization
Of their cherished ideal.
Progress Is Handicapped.
1T is not too much to say that the ma
terial development and prosperity of the
islands is today seriously handicapped
by the uncertainty and doubt regarding
the policy of this government toward
them.
IF the Philippines shall be granted
their independence by the American ma
| ton they will naturally and properly
feel a heavy debt of gratitude for that
boon, and with the political and interna-
tional situation where it is in the orient
today 1t might well become q matter OF
no little moment to America to be at once
relieved of the expense OF maintaining
her soldiery in the Philippine Islands and
| at the same time to be assured OF the
loyal support and assistance OF the entire
| Filipino people in case Of eventualities
| which ought not to, but which sometimes
| do, occur"

THE II SIDE.
Editor of The Phoenix;

The deer season is on next week, and
permit me to predict there will be COM
paratively few shot in this part of the
state, due to the fact that there are very
few left. The wholesale violation of the
law during the past few months has re-
duced them to almost a curiosity. l
think 1t safe to say that there are a
dozen families within five miles of where
| live who eat more or less venison the
year round, and since a little incident Of
last spring they, and many others, too,
have had many sumptuous feasts. l
don't want 1t understood that all these
parties are criminally inclined; they
simply say If one man has the right to
shoot deer and eat the meat and be eX-
cused another ought to nave the same
| privilege. Every conceivable device has
been employed to capture ~venison, hence
many hunters are doomed to %disappoint-
ment in a few days.
Appeal after appeal has been made to
the state officers to uppress this public
disgrace, but most of our game wardens
are trying so hard to be popular that
they don't amount to much. Their eff
forts in that line make them ridiculous.
One of the expensive employ
ed by the state came out a few weeks
ago in a newspaper statement claiming
there were too many deer, and judg-
ing from the tone of the article a per-
son would nave thought they were de-
vouring our schoolhouses and churches.
But Just a few days ago he came out
with another public statement which said
in substance that the deer were too
scarce. Now 1 nm not alleging he fall
sified in either case, but | do maintain 1t
would be so nice II he would just inform
us when he is telling the truth. II there
were numerically such a depreciation of
deer In so short a time 1t Is no credit
to his administration Simmered down to
the last analysis, this discreditable con-
dition of affairs is brought about by the
inefficlency and dishonesty OF our public
officials who are trusted and paid by the
people to render a fair. fearless and i'm
partial administration of the law. Judg-
Ing from what l know of Governor
Mead and by the tone OF the letter he
has written me 1t may not be safe for
our public officials to disregard their
oath of office too far. He may see Mt to
do a little house-cleaning among them,
