NEW VORK, Dec 17.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London say The release of prisoner and other Incidents reported by General Kllch.'n er fill to reassure the public. The last phase of the campaign la remarkable for the miscalculation on the lirltlch ido and the many excited outbursts nf candor. The staying power of the Poem haa be-n . underestimated and thi lr prcparatlona for cotitlnu'ng hoettle opcrutlona In the extremity of their for tun by means of burled atorea of ammunition hava not been taken Into account. There hna b?en a futile discussion for moniha cm l he requirement of polk work ar.d fox hunting and suddenly Nlcholaon'a Nek haa been repniuced within forty mile of Pretoria, with an isolated command surrounded and forc ed M surrender after Ita ammunition had been exhausted and with the main body retiring: without making an effec tive effort to retrieve the disaster. General Clement' explanation thai the Northumberland fusiliers were sihort of ammunition make every Eng' lishman irrlt hia teeth. The collapse of the Doer caue haa been assumed ax the Inevitable consequence of the In exhaustion of war material and here la the "Fighting Fifth" without powder und ahot compelled to surrender. The generals now receiving the con gratulation of their frlenda upon their return frankly confess that they have an uncomfortable feeling In being toast ed and feaated. Lord Pundonald said before the public banquet at the Hot-d Cecil that he could not help reRTttlng hla premature return alnce the war ev idently had not ended and a soldier's place was at the front. General rVle Carew, w ho la overwhelmed with the kindtieaa of Devonshire friend", probably finds It equally difficult to reioncll hla soldierly sense of duty 'with a full appreciation of the deliKhU of home hospitality. Lord Meth'j.-n'a frlenda are emphasizing the fact that while he haa been more sharply criticized than any other general except Cau re, he haa at leant remained on .h fighting lino bent on aeelng the job through. D Wet and Delarey are spoiling la advance the atately thanksgiving aer-l vice lr honor of Lord fUAtruf return.

He left no ad- dies and hla relatives in this city and elsewhere are wondering what has be- come of him. Mr. Johnson's shuttered health la said to be the result of hla duties a one of the chaplains of the Are d-trt- ment. which he assumed on March !$. WW, having been appointed to that po- sit Ion by Fire Commlsaltner Hcanneil. Several yeura ago he lived In Tacoma.

FRANCE WANTS TERRITORY. State Department Is Watching Her At tempt to Violate Monroe Doctrine. NEW YORK, Dec. 17. A special to the Time from Washington aays: the territory until recently in de pute between Brazil and France and which haa been decreed to be long to Brazil may shortly become an object of dispute botween France aiid the United States should It violate the Monroe cjootrlne. The territory lying south of French Guiana In the state of Para and con taining 100,000 square miles was claimed by Brazil and France, and Switzerland was made the arbitrator. Her decision was In favor of Brazil. It la now re ported that aome French financiers an ticipating that the decision would be favorable to France had already Invest ed their capital In this territory. They are now, It la sold, trying to engineer a deal by which the French government will buy thla land from Brazil. The state department haa absolutely no knowledge on the. subject. Its at tention, however, has ben called to the matter and the attempt of the French capitalists to secure government aid In Retting their money hack will be watched with Intereat. There la hardly any question, It la said at the department, that such action would bo a violation of the Monroe doctrine and would call forth a protest from the United States. As long a the claim was In Ita orig inal form, France might have main tained that ahe was simply ratifying her boundaries and that the United PI Jit '-a cannot object to that. Even In ll.it case a ratification of boundaries whim Involved un area of 100,005 square miles would be dowdy scrutinized. K7rn; hit, however, forfeited the right to inhku that claim by aubmlttlng the tiMitler to arbitration In Switzerland. Th territory hits be;n officially decreed by the Hwlsa trlbunul to be outside of th botindurlea of French Guiana. IMMJl GIRL SPEAKS. rtfirnukable Attainment of Miss Ileln Keller.
