WAS INSOLENT In MANNER
Government Now Taking the Most
Vigorous Steps to Stamp Out the
Rebellion and to lnflict Punishment
on All the Rebels and Traitors.

London Oct. 13.-The official press
bureau today issued the text of the
telegram received by the secretary OF
the colonies from the governor gen
eral OF South Africa which reads:
Ever since the resignation Of Gen
eral iBeyers as commentaries general
of the citizen force there have been
indications that something was wrong
with the forces in the northwest cape
province under command of Lieuten-
ant Colonel s. G. Maritz.
THE government arranged to send
Colonel Conrad Brits to take over
the command from Colonel Maritz
On the Sth instant Colonel Brits sent
a message TO Colonel Maritz to come
in and report to him. To this mes
sage Maritz replied in a most insolen
manner that he would not report to
anybody. All he wanted was his dis
charge and Colonel Brits must come
lhimself and take over his command.
Colonel Brits then sent Major Ben
Bouwer to take over the command.
| On his arrival at Colonel Maritz's
camp Major Bouwer was taken prison
| er with his companions. He subse
lquently was released and sent back
with an ultimatum from Colonel
MaritZ to the union government to
the effect that unless the government
guaranteed to~hiHr before 10 O'Clock
the 11th of October, that they should
allow Generals Hertzog. Dewet, Bey-
| ers, Kemp and Muller to meet him
where he was that he might receive
| instructions from them, he would
forthwith attack Colonel Brits forces
and proceed further to invade the
union.
Major General Bouwer reported
that Colonel Maritz was in possession
! of guns belonging to the Germans and
that he held the rank of General com
manding the German troops. He had
a force of Germans under him in ad
dition to his own rebel command. He
had arrested all of his officers and
men who were unwilling to join the
Germans and had sent them as prison
ers to German Southwest Africa.

guaranteeing the independence of the
union as a republic, ceding Walsh
Bay and certain other portions of the
union to Germans and undertaking
that the Germans would only invade
the union on the invitation of Colonel
MaritZ
Major Bouwer was shown numer-
Gus kilograms dating back to the be-
ginning of September Colonel Ma
ritz boasted that he had ample guns,
rifles, ammunition and money from
the Germans and that he would over
run the whole of South Africa.
''ln view of this state of affairs, the
government is taking the most vigor-
GUS steps to stamp out the rebellion
and to inflict punishment on all rebels
and traitors.
"A proclamation declaring martial
law throughout the union will appear
in a gazette extraordinary today,
Monday, the 18th of October, 1914.

WAR SUMMARY

The operations in Belgium are now
of first importance. The Germans
having captured Antwerp and oecu-
pied Ghent are pushing forward to
the coast Although all communica-
tion with Ghent is reported to have
been cut news has filtered through
that the Germans are being opposed
vigorously and that in an engagement
to the south of Ghent about six hun
dred German dead were left on the
field. Other engagements have oc-
CURED in this neighborhood. where
the Belgian army which retreated
From Antwerp has undergone reor-
ganization.
The French and British, according
to the latest French official communi-
cation are holding back the German
right wing, which recently has been
heavily reinforced. Indeed the French
lay claim to notable progress, both
on their left, wing and on the center.
The Belgian government has been
removed to Havre, the Belgian Off
cials already having reached the
French port where they were given
cordial welcome. King Albert of
the Belgians who has spent the last
six weeks or more in and around the
trenches, remains with his army.
whose movement he is directing in
conjunction with the minister of war.
The Berlin official statement an
|nounces that 10000 Belgian soldiers
are in Antwerp as prisoners. 1t adds
that 10000 Russians have been killea
or wounded near PrZemysl the Auc-
trian stronghold in Galicia, from
which the Russians have retreated.
While only recently the Russian an
thorities admitted that the Russian
forces had been withdrawn from
PHemysl, a late despatch from the
Russian capital says it is officially
announced that the siege of that
fortress is progressing.
The statement from Berlin regard
ing the situation in the Woevre dis.
trict in the northeast of France con
traditsc that given out by the French
war department, laciming that all the
French attacks at st. Mihiel have
been repulsed. Berlin declares also
that there is heavy fighting in the
Argonne and reports vigorous attacks
by the allies in the neighborhood OF
scissors which have been repulsed.
A feature of the war of the nations
which has caused some concern in
|Grea. Britain at least is the reported
revolt in South Africa. Some of the
Beers under Colonel Maritz, a veteran
of the South African war, have joined
forces with the Germans and as a
consequence martial law as been de.
clared throughout the union of South
Africa with the promise of the South
African government that the most
stringent measures will be applied TO
put down the movement against the
empire.

Appropriations for routine govern
mental expenditures, he said, were in
reality some $G.500,000 less than the
last appropriations. The total appro-

said were $11l5g0S III DC ae against

Boston, Oct. 13.-The Boston Ma
tional ieague club completed the most
sensational record In modern base
ball history by defeating the Phila-
delphia Americans in the final game
of the worlds series at Fenway Park,
3 to /.
Beginning with their rush from
last place in the senior league in the
middle of July, the Braves have
broken traditions and records in the
national sport with speed and aban-
don during the last three montls.
They emerged late today champions
of the world, leaving a trail of start
ling surprises and upsets in their
wake which it will be hard to dupli-
cate.
Last and far from the least of
their accomplishments was the over
throw in four consecutive games of
the worlds famous baseball machine
of Connie Mack, with it's hundred
thousand dollar infield home run he
roes, and corps of sklfully blended
veteran and youthful pitching stars.
Tonight the new champions, gather
ed under the management of George

Unexpected as was the defeat, the

GRAIN GOSSIP

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: ut
is the belief OF many wheat traders
that there is to be little change in prices
from this level for the present, unless
large export demand develops or
something drastic comes to the front to
create better buying. There is a dis
position to buy on all breaks for
turn.
Corn traders who are bullish say
that the Government report on hogs is
a bull factor on corn, as there are more
hogs and cattle than private reports
have shown. This, they construe, will
mean larger number to feed and lead
to an increased consumption"
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. say:
"Wheat-Look for a steady market to-
day without any particular change In
values.
"Corn-The market shows a steady
tone, and we would not be surprised to
see prices work little higher.
"Oats-Prices will be governed large
~ by the action of other grains.
"Provisions-We are inclined to think
prices may ease some further"
Vice president of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis Railroad predicts the biggest
winter wheat crop on record.
Public stocks of wheat at st. Louis de
creased $4,000 bushels last week.
Ryecroft says: 81 have personal
cable quoting one OF the best-posted
grain houses in the Argentine as esti-
mating the Argentine wheat exportable
surplus at 64 900, 900 bushels. including
takings by Brazil mills, This leaves
only about $4,000, 900 to $4,000 900 BUSH
els available for European trade"
The Northwestern Miller's Winnipeg
correspondent states that general opin-
ion is that there are not over 10000 600
bushels of wheat In farmers hands, in
excess of requirements for seed.
Logan & Bryan have issued a special
report by Stuart Logan on the Argentine
crop conditions. He says: THE winter
wheat crop of the Argentine will not
exceed IS per cent of last year, the
oats crop s. per cent and fax rs per
cent. The condition of corn Is not quite
as good and IL will take good weather
and no further damage from locusts, II
the Argentine crop equals last year,
which was the largest ever raised. The
acreage is 10 pei. cent larger. There is
none OF last years wheat or oats in the
country, but about 10 per cent OF the
corn"
