CRIMES OF OFFICERS
Brutal Australians in Africa
Shot Natives Like Rabbits.
MURDERED THEIR OWN HEN
CoId-BIooded Killing of Boern Sup-
posed to Have 3Ioncy Kitchener
Ordered Court-SIartlal and
They Were Executed.
LONDON. April 3. The Morning Leader
publishes the alleged story of the crime
which led to the court-martial and ex
ecution of two Australian officers in South
Africa, which is just now exciting keen
indignation in Australia. The newspaper
asserts that several officers of this par
ticular Irregular corps shot natives like
rabbits, and that they are even suspected
of murdering men of their own command,
against whom they had grudges.
The incident which led to their court
martial was the cold-blooded "execution"
by those officers of 10 Boers who were
Journeying to Pietersburg with the ob
ject of surrendering. It was supposed
these Boers had 20,000 with them. Actu
ated by cupidity, the Australians stopped
the Boers, tried thorn by mock" court
martial, and ordered all to be shot. This
was done by a squadron of soldiers after
some of the non-commissioned officers had
refused to carry out the death sentence.
The officers then ransacked the Boer
wagon and were disgusted upon finding
that the 20.000 was in Transvaal paper
money. Continuing, the Morning Leader
says a German missionary a few miles
distant from the -scene of "execution"
heard of the affair. Lieutenant Hancock,
one of the Australians concerned, fearing
be would divulge the information, shot
the missionary dead. This shooting even
tually led to a complaint by the German
Consul to Lord Kitchener, who proceeded
to court-martial the Australians.
BRITISH CAMP IN LOUISIANA.
So Governor Heard Reports to the
Stnte Department.
CHICAGO. April 2. A special to the
Tribune from New Orleans says:
Governor Heard, of Louisiana, has re
ported to the State Department at "Wash
ington that, in his opinion, the British
Government is maintaining a military
camp within the territory of the United
States. The camp in question is the one
located a few miles below this city for
the trans-shipment of horses and mules
to South Africa, there to be used by Brit
ish soldiers in the war against the Boers.
Several weeks ago General Plerson, the
Boer leader, visited the city and held a
conference with the Louisiana State offi
cials. He created no little comment by
his public declaration that he was ready
to lead a force of armed men to attack
the camp. He was denied permission to
do this.
Several months ago a British steamer
was badly damaged by an explosion while
it was being loaded with supplies for the
British Army in South Africa. It was de
clared in many quarters at the time that
the explosion was the work of Boer sym
pathizers, but the matter was never in
vestigated. SHARP REAR-GUARD ACTION.

are known to have been wounded. The
column commander. Colonel Lawley, de
tached the dragoons .with the object of
surprising a Boer laager, reported to
have been located 10 miles east of Bosch
manskop. The dragoons found the Boers
strongly posted, and the burghers wera
subsequently largely reinforced, with the
result that the dragoons had to fight a
hard rear guard action In order to regain
the main column. The heavy firing called
up Colonel Lawley and his troops, who
drove off the Boers. The latter's loss Is
reported to have been heavy.
Boers Did Not Cause Train "Wreck.
LONDON. April 2. It has been sug
gested that the train wreck near Bar
berton, Transvaal Colony, March 30, re
sulting In the death of 39 soldiers and

ment, was caused by the Boers, but Lord
Kitchener reports that it was accidental.
The train was descending a steep grade
when the engine and five trucks jumped
the track and tu' d over.
Details of the wreck show that after
leaving Barberton, the engineer lost con
trol of the train on the down grade, and
for three miles it went at the rate of
80 miles an hour. The engine jumped the
rails at a sharp curve, .with five trucks
filled with soldiers. A terrific smash-up

Company was working today. President

visit this district at present. Several of
the small- operatives in Cambria, who
did not attend the Altoona convention,
and who do not feel bound by the action
of the large operators, have failed to
sign the scale. The miners propose to
give them a time limit, at the end of
which, if the scale is not signed, the
men will be called out. Three hundred
men employed in a mine at Hastings quit
work yesterday because the operator,
James L. Mitchell, refused to sign the
scale unless the check-off was eliminated.

burg Coal Company are well organized,
with much financial strength behind them

put up a long fight, if necessary- Notices
were posted at the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg Railway car shops in Dubois

and 10,000 miners are Idle. The final
clause of the strike resolution reads:
"No settlement of the question in dis
pute shall be recognized unless sanctioned
by the properly authorized committee and
the officials of the organization. '
This means that the men will insist on
recognition of the miners' union, and la
also Interpreted as indicating a long strug
gle, as the Rochester & Pittsburg Com
pany has always refused to recognize
union leaders, and has Insisted upon deal
ing with its employes as individuals.
No Trouble Is Anticipated.

the smelters thousands more will be
thrown out of work, shows few signs of
an early settlement The stationary engi
neers are defiant, and propose to make a
determined fight for an increase In wages.
Word from the Washoe smelters, at Ana.
conda, is to the effect that about a day's
running will exhaust the ore bins and
necessitate the closing of the big works.

ing an additional 2000 men out of work.

said they had delivered an ultimatum to
strike yesterday unless the advance was
granted Immediately. They flocked to
headquarters today and demanded of Lil
llen why he had not called a strike Instead
of compromising. A stormy meeting fol
lowed. The men refused to wait until to
night to act on the agreement, but ordered
the agent to call a strike at once. Lllllen
accordingly called off the men working on
two down-town "sky-scrapers," and set
about the work of notifying others work
ing In various parts of the city. The
strike, it is said, will involve the helpers,

Their Discoveries.
BERLIN,, April 2. Professor Slaby, the
electrician, has issued a written reply to
William Marconi's statement that he,
Slaby, learned from him what he knows
about wireless telegraphy. The professor
says:
"I never omitted to mention and at
every opportunity have acknowledged that
I participated In the experiments carried
on May, 1897, by the English telegraph
department under the direction of Sir
William Preece, with the Marconi appar.
atus of that day. But the present system
of tuned telegraphy, as Marconi knows,
has hardly anything In common with those
primitive beginnings. The Slaby-Arco
system Is not based on those early experi
ments. On the contrary, as Marconi well
knows. It Is founded on discoveries that
I published In 1900 to which Marconi re
ferred In his address before the Society
of Fine Arts In these words: 'I trust that
It will not be thought that I desire to
minimize In any way the importance of

Contracted Disorders.
To but partially cure a contracted
disease Is almost as dangerous as to
allow It to go untreated. Unless
every particle of Infection and In
flammation Is removed, the probability
exists- that the disease will gradually
work its way into the general system.
Still greater Is the danger of the pros
tate gland becoming chronically In
flamed, which always brings partial or
complete loss of power. Perhaps 23
per cent of the cases of so-called
"weakness" are a direct result of some
improperly treated contracted disease.
During the past five years we have
treated over 6500 cases of contracted
disorders, and have effected an abso
lutely thorough and safe cure in each
Instance. There have been no relapses
or undesirable developments whatever,
and our patients have been cured in
less time than other and less thorough
forms of treatment require in produc
ing even doubtful results.
