HEADS MUST FALL
England Demands the Recall
of Buller and Warren.
WARMEST PRAISE FOR ROBERTS
The Commander-in-Chief Has So
Anthorltj- to Dismiss the
Blundering; Generals.
LONDON, April 2L The British Gover
nor o Ashantee. Sir Frederick M. Hodg
son, stands In danger of being murdered
and his rule swept out of remembrance:
tbo United States Is generally considered
on the brink of war with Turkey; the
Paris exposition has been opened; Queen
Victoria Is returning from her remark
able visit to Ireland, yet "who caresT"
In England there Is only one topic, and
that Is 'Lord Roberts' Splonkop censures
and their possible results. Even the com
mencement of the advance against Pre
toria falls to detract public Interest from
the all-absorbing sensation of the hour.
The weeklies teem with comment that de
fies a cabled synopsis. While there is a
multitudinous expression of opinion re
garding the advisability of the publication
at the present moment of such terrible
Indictments of British Generals and of
ficers, and while the authorities differ
5 widely as to the causes of their inefficien
cy, and the remedies therefor, one com
mon verdict seems to have been reached,
which Is that Splonkop was a terrible
muddle, and that some one must be
brought to book. Though the Cabinet
Itself appears scarcely decided upon what
course to pursue, public opinion la pretty
clearly defined, and Is unanimous In de
manding the recall of General Buller and
General Warren. Placing Colonel Crofton
on half pay has merely whetted the Na
tional appetite, and the ravenous demand
for action and for the prevention of the
useless low of loved ones which cannot
be satisfied with such a meager bone as
Crofton. Higher heads. It seems, must
fall. It Is probable the government hopes
General Buller will apply for his own
rfickll. but this seems unlikely fo happen
and now the country angrily waits for the
action that all sections of the press de
clare must follow the"" extraordinarily
timed publication of Roberts strictures.
A curious feature Is that Lord Roberts
apparently is not empowered to deal with
General Buller, or even General Warren,
both having been directly appointed by
the government, and, "beyond reporting.
Lord Roberts Is unablo to take action.
Yet, for six after receiving Lord Roberts
report, the Marquis of Lansdowne. the
Secretary of State for War, left the ques
tion open, and now, for some mysterious
reason, has taken the publlclnto-his con
fidence. Hence. Lord Roberts Is naturally
freed from all blame, and has Increased
his popularity by being- bravo enough to
expose weak spots.
Rev. T. DeWItt Talmage-wlll preach his
first sermon this year In England tomor
row at Manchester. He Is looking forward
with keen Interest to addressing crowds
of similar enormous proportions to those
who heard him when he last visited Eng
land. The well-known preacher is taking
much interest In the India famine fund
and the distribution of American relief.
Sir William Wedderburn, known as an
authority on Indian affairs, writing in the
Speaker on the subject, declares the Brit
ish Government Is responsible to a great
degree for the awful sufferings from the
famine, owing to unfair taxation and the
.revolutionary systems of business methods
arbitrarily Imposed on the natives.
The Croton. N. T., strike calls forth
many expressions of opinion. The Speak
er deals with it at length, as, perhaps
the first outbreak of the long-predicted
war between labor and capital the world
over, and says It believes the United
States will eventually be compelled to
adopt more severe restrictions on immi
gration, and strengthen its available forces
Tor the "immediate suppression of Incipi
ent insurrections." adding: "America, to
remain as she is, must cease to be the
refuge of destitute mankind."
The same paper, dealing with the pro
posed amendment to the Constitution, pro
viding for the election of Senators by pop
ular vote, declares that the Senate "now
swarms with millionaires, who arc be
lieved to purchase their election by large
gifts to campaign funds, and who make
It nearly Impossible for tho President to
have a foreign policy," adding:
"The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, for .exam
ple, was blocked, not because Its provis
ions were disliked, but because It might
help McKlnley"6 candidacy. The people
are growing weary of this, and the vote
of the House marks their desire to make
In some way a radical change In the com
position of their House of Lords.".
Efforts to put tho British case in 'South
Africa before the American people are
Increasing. It is learned that the Rev.
Charles Phlllppls, who arrived at Boston
April 20, represents many people who are
anxious to retain American "good-will. He
will lecture throughout the country In an
attempt to show the Justice of the British.
.... ... .c. ui. x Hindis ia u wen
known Congregatlonallst of Johannesburg,
whence he lately -returned. He spent 11
years In South Africa, and has frequently
been Interviewed and quoted in the Brit
ish press as an authority on the Boer
Brltlsh controversies.
At the present moment General Bul
ler could find no better way to endear
himself to the hearts of the people than 'to
request his recall: but one who knows the
Natal commander Intimately tells tho rep
resentative of the Associated Press he is
far too thick-skinned to take such a step,
and will stick to his port despite 'all crit
icisms and avalanches of adverse public
opinion.
Nor is Lord Kitchener spared In the
present outbreak. There Is a story go
lng the rounds of the clubs that the" "great
man of the Soudan" has been severely sat
upon by the "little man of Afghanistan,"
and specific Instances of disagreements be
tween them are quoted. Once, so gossip
says with mysterious references to- pri
vate letters and such inner sources of
Information, Lord Roberts felt constrained
to pit Lord Kitchener in his plat.
"I wish you to understand,' Kandahar is
reported to have said to Khartoum, "If
you please, that I command this army.
Tou are my cjilef of staff. I don't seek
your advice and I shall decide myself on
what Is to be done and shall Issue my or
ders accordingly."
No documentary evidence has been ob
tained to prove the truth of this, and If
may be pure Invention, but it has already
been printed In London and originated in
much the same way as the first stories
arose regarding the fiascos of Generals
Gatacre. Buller and Methuen, which were
only too fully borne out by later official
and detailed accounts. r
With regard to Lord Kitchener there
Is another story current which states
that after the Colenso disaster the Queen
demanded that Buller be superseded by
the conqueror of the Khalifa, and'that the
Cabinet protested but compromised by
sending Lord Roberts as a figurehead.
This Is considered rather Improbable; buV
if true, the Cabinet, has caught a tartar
In the shape of Lord Roberts. ,
It Is marvelous to note the.wholehcarted.
ness of the English public trust in this
old General. Not one paper has Attached"
to his .criticism of General Buller his
predecessor In the command one lota, of
Unfairness 6r self-interest. This per
haps Is explained by the unh'ersal recog-"
rttlon of the fact that the field marshal
has little to gain by' this campaign and
that he gave up all to which long and bril
liant service- entitled him In order to
ire his country. Whatever the outcome
of the Boer War, Lord Roberts' name
would stand Jn England's military annals
as one of the most' successful and best
loved of her commanders. This fact Is
ever before the people, and they believe
their Commander-in-Chief In South Africa,
to be miles above Jealousy or rivalries
that might tactuate other Generals.
Tho recently announced death of
Thomas Dudley from bubonic plague
at Sydney recalls the terrible story
In connection with the loss of
tho yacht Mignonette, of which he
wo9 the master. In 1SS4, when she found,
ered. Dudley, with two other men and a
boy, 'was adrift for many days In an open
"boat. During this time the men killed the
boy and tried to eat his body, for which,
after their rescue, they were sentenced to
death in England. This sentence, how
ever, was subsequently commuted to six
months Imprisonment.
The yacht Mlgnonetto sailed from
Southampton for Australia May 19, 1SSI,
and foundered In a storm about 1000 miles
from the Cape. Three men Captain
Thomas Dudley, Edwin Stephens, the
mate, a sailor named Brooks and &
boy, Richard Parker, escaped in a boat
Without provisions July 5. After the cast
aways had become greatly reduced by hun
ger It was proposed that one of the party
be killed by lot. but this was rejected by
Brooks. On July SO, however, the boy was
killed by the Captain and a portion of
his body eaten.
The men were picked up by the German
bark Montezuma July 24 and carried to
Falmouth. Captain Dudley and Mate
Stephens were tried for murder, and they
were convicted, sentence of death being
passed on December 9 following. On De
cember 13, however, their sentence was
commuted to six months' Imprisonment
without labor.
This has been a week of un
usual Interest In tho theatrical world
to Americans, as two plays were
submitted to the London public on which
America had long since pronounced favor
ablo Judgment "Zaza" and "Cyrano da
Bergerac" In "both cases the American
verdict was reversed. "Zaza" was respon
sible for an outbreak In London similar,
though on a smaller scale, to New York's
"Sapho" agitation. Here It has taken the
form of general dissatisfaction at the at
tempts to translate French plays rather
than as attempts to suppress Mrs. Car
ter's role, tho afternoon papers being
particularly hard on "Zaza,"
The Globe declared that "America has
shown herself intolerant to more than one
play1 we have sent there, but we declare
"Zaza Is more, crude, mora sensual and
more objectionable than any piece of home
growth we can recall," The Westminster
Gazette Is still more scathing, saying:
"When a piece Is stupid and Ill-written
throughout, coarse and animal, when a
mass of indelicate detail utterly unneces
sary' Is Introduced. It Is our duty to
matte .some protest,"
Mr., Wyndham's" "Cyrano de Bergerac,"
produced In-his London theater Thursday,
Is treated somewhat similar, though In a
kinder vein than "Zaza," The Times
voices the general impression by lament
ing the "loss of force and art which en
sues .from tho translation of French mas.
terpleces."
The visit of King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway to England, though un
dertaken Incognito, has attracted a
surprisingly small amount of Inter
est. The spectacle of that monarch burly
despite his 71 years, and standing head and
phoulders above his fellows pushing his
way past the station barricade to shake
hands with the Swedish workmen who had
cheered him as he entered the London de
pot, can for human Impulsiveness be
scarcely exceeded In tho actions of the
most democratic ruler.
King Ofcar Is no stranger to England.
He has paid frequent visits t& this country
and his abilities, as historian and writer
upon abtruse subjects, have gained for him
honorary degrees from the English unher
slties. Of all European potentates he Is
probably the most cultured, the tallest and
the most impulsive.
Spain Is apparently scared by post-bellum
publications showing how many au

EnKlIsh Press Comment.
BERLIN. April 2L The Foreign Office
says It has Information Indicating that
the United States' difficulty with Turkey
will be settled amicably In a few days.
The Foreign Office does not believe a
naval demonstration will become neces
sary. Questioned as to how the European
powers would regard such a demonstra
tion, a Foreign Office official replies that
no exchange of views had yet been made.
SO OXE WILL INTERFERE.
British Diplomats Pleased With
Washington's Firm Stand.
LONDON, April 2L Inquiries by the As
sociated Press regarding the attitude of
Great Britain and other powers toward
tho American-Turkish difficulty reveals
the fact that no one has the slightest
Intention of interfering In any way. The
British Government officials do not dis
guise their delight at the stand taken by
Washington, and hope the Sultan's obsti
nacy will for once fall to achieve its ends.
Great Britain herself, during the past
years, has had much trouble In exacting
paymont of debts from the "sick man
of the East," and appreciates tho irri
tation displayed at Washington.
The British Ambassador at Constanti
nople has Informed the Foreign Office of
tho conditions existing, but merely veri
fying what has already been published.
So far. Lord Salisbury has sent him no
Instructions, but the Associated Press Is
officially Informed that Great Britain and
tho other powers who are now making
Joint representations regarding the In
crease In tho Turkish tariffs have no In
tention Of pooling their Issues upon tho
American claims or In any way associat
ing the tariff matter with that dispute.
Tbo possibility of serious results attracts
general interest and much comment in
England. The Spectator says:
"It Is earnestly to bo desired that Phar
aoh should harden his heart. But there
Is little chance of such an advantage to
the world. The Sultan will doubtless pay
the money. If he docs not, Dewey may
go afloat again to do work rather less
easy and much more Important than the
capture of Manila,"
The Outlook suggests that tne United
States might take the customs of Smyrna
as a guarantee, but Inclines to believe
that the Sultan's new friend. Emperor
William, will whisper "pay, and the In
cident will be ended.
ISf THE EVE5T OF WAIL
Europe Would Be on Hand to Divide
In the Partition.
NEW YORK. April 2L A special to tho
Tribune from Washington says:
All the contingencies that might result
from an outright breach with Turkey
have been canvassed at the Stato Depart
ment with a thoroughness which of Itself
Is sufficient proof of tho deliberate ear
nestness of the United States in forcing
the Sultan to settle without regard to the
extreme punishment that may have to be
Inflicted upon the Ottoman Empire should
he prove pugnacious.
For one thing, the mission organizations
In this country whoso interests may bo
further Jeopardized have given assurances
that they are willing to assume the risk
of having their property In Armenia de
stroyed by the Turks, and that the work
ers there who are dependent upon Amer
ican support do not shrink from the pos
sibility of a recurrence of the atrocious
massacres which led to the present crisis.
The naval programme, in the event of 'a
resort to force, has also had careful con
sideration, and it appears that Smyrna
will be almost as difficult to selzo as San
Uago if the Turks have time to prepare
for resistance. Tbe city has a compara
tively email proportion of Turkish popula
tion, ltfl great storehouses and valuable
property belonging exclusively to foreign
ers, chiefly English and German. On this
account, a general bombardment would be
out of the question, and as a siege with
out co-operating land forces would be In
effectual, a serious problem Is involved in
the proposition to seize and administer Its
customs.
Smyrna's enormous trade being largely In
foreign hands, a protracted blockade of
the harbor would antagonize European in
terests to a dangerous extent, and the
United States, without the approval of tB
Continental powers, might be oenoustr
embarrassed in the undertaking. English
consent and probably England's co-operation
could be reasonably relied upon, but.
In any case, the American Naval forces
assembled In the Mediterranean would
have to be powerful enough to force the
Dardanelles In the end. This course. It Is
thought, would promptly Involve all tho
European powers, not as antagonists of
the United States, but as eager partici
pants in the partition of the Turkish Era
plre. ULTIMATUM IS READY.
Turkish Minister Advises HU Gov
ernment of the Situation.
NEW YORK. April 21, A special to the
World from Washington aaysr
Unless the Sultan of Turkey nets very
promptly. All Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish
Minister, will bo given his passport, and
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Turkey will be suspended 'until
the Sultan pays the 3100,000 due citizens of
the United States.
It Is understood that an ultimatum,
stating that the diplomatic relations will
be severed unless the claims are paid, is
ready for presentation to tho Turklih
Government. It Is known at the depart
ment that the Turkish Minister advised
his government yesterday relative to the
situation, and time will be given for the
Sultan to act before the ultimatum will
be Issued.
There has been some discussion of tho
plan. In the event that the Sultan still
continues obstinate, to seize a port of
Turkey and collect customs to an amount
equal to the claim. It Is believed that
International complications could be
averted by notifying the Continental pow
ers that It was the Intention of the United
States to remain in possession of the port
only long enough to collect tho money.
The Administration Is now averse, how
ever, to going beyond a severance of
diplomatic relations.
No serious thought has been given to a
military or naval demonstration, as tho
Administration has all tho war on hand It
cares to deal with for the present.
Should All Ferrouh Bey be given his
passport. It would amount to saying that
Tureky Is a dishonest government. Stat
Department officials believe .that the Sul
tan will not be willing to havo his country
thus advertised to the world.

The World's Copper Snpply.
Engineering Magazine.
The dominating position taken by the
United States among the contributors to
tho world's supply of copper has already
been commented on. The Immense activ
ity of the Americans, added to their me
chanical genius, has led to the Initiation
by them of a scale of operations hitherto
unprecedented In the history of mining.
But, if the increasing demand for cop
per continues, present sources of supply
will soon be Insufficient, unlets produc
tion at the big mines can be still further
stimulated. It Is doubtful, however,
whether the production of mines like the
Anaconda and Rio Tlnto can be very
largely Increased. And there Is anothe:
side to the question that must not be lost
sight of the more rapidly an ore deposit
Is exploited tho sooner It will be ex.
baustcd. It Is true that there are im
mense reserves of copper ore at Lako Su
perior, assuming that the beds can be
profitably worked down to vertical depth
of GOOD to 7000 feet; but It seems likely that
even this source of supply will fall ta
cope with the Increased demands of the
early part of next century, and three of
four decades will probably see It exhaust
ed. We are bound to assume, therefore,
that unless new and abundant sources for
the metal are opened up In the early part
of the next century, or some substitute Is
found for It In the tlectrlcal Indu try. there
Is no prospect of copper being overpro
duced. In all the London clubs tipping Is strictly
prohibited.

Feeling; Toward England.
BERLIN, April' 2L If the Reichstag,
which will reconvene next week, should
seriously attempt to dispose of all work
yet awaiting It, the session would be pro
longed until midsummer. Hence It has
been agreed among the party leaders that
the naval bill, the acceptance -of which Is
now to be reckoned certain, will be dis
patched. Next week comes- tho supple
mentary budget. Including the African
loan subvention bill. Then 'will come the
bill regulating certain trades, Including
obligatory shop closure on holidays and

RACE TRACK SCANDAL.
San Francisco Jockeys and Trainers
In a Combination.
SAN FRANCISCoTApril 2L Another
scandal has clouded local horse racing, and
from present Indications It looks as If the
stewards of the local Jockey clubs have
unearthed a combination of Jockeys, train
ers and bookmakers of even greater pro
portions than the "Little Pete" affair of
several seasons ago. For somo'tlme past
the- In- and out-going 'of some of the
horses has attracted the attention of the
racing associations, and an Investigation
was started which has resulted In a con-,
fesslon being obtained from Jockey Mike
Hennessey, who was suspended- recently
for a suspicious ride on'LucIdla,
'Hennessey, It Is said, has told tho offi
cials that a ring has existed, which In
cluded Jockey Joe Plggott, ex-Jockey
Willie Martin, himself and several other
prominent Jockeys, besides Trainer Danny
Lynch, of Fltzstmmons-Sharkey fame,

at the time of the fiasco in this city, and
at least one bookmaker, whose name can
not be learned. Hennessey, In his confes
sion, states that Hard Knot and other
horses have been pulled at times, and at
other times been allowed to win. Tho
combination had. Its representative In tho
betting ring, and It Is said they cleaned up
an Immense sum of money. Willie Martin
Is credited with having taken 30,000 out
of the ring.

confession Is progressing, the matter of

When James MacMurray left his post

stock farm to become a member of the
New York fire department, he brought
with him his constant companion, Robert
Bruce, then a well-trained "sheep dog."
something less than two years of age, and
so Bruce becoroo a regular member of the
company. The small boys of the neigh
borhood, whom he permitted to pet him.
but never to Indulge In rude liberties,
spoke of him In terms of respectful admi
ration as"the "fire dog." -
Every evening he sat with the men In
their sitting-room on the top floor of the
engine-house. listening silently, but appre
ciatively, to their stories. Then he had to
'see that the horses were properly fed.
Who. could doubt thaV his presence was
necefsary, after beholding his' closp at
tention to the distribution of oats and
hay? But once lefthe'flre alarm clang out
Its warning, by night or by day, and he
was down the stairs before the swiftest
fireman could slide the pole to the ground
floor, and, of course, Bruce went to the
Are. galloping under the engine. Swift
of foot, sure of eye. he was never In tfie
way of horse's hoofs or firemen's feet.
Twice In his first Winter he had distin

China's Resistance io Profrrcs.
Coaster's Magazine.
The difficulties In the way of success for
the engineer and foreign capitalist In China
are very considerable. In the first place,
It may be safely asserted that the au
thorities actually In power do not want
foreigners. The statement one so often
sees In articles on the subject that the
Japanese war has opened the eyes of the
Chinese and shown them that If they
wish to keep up with other nations, they
must adopt a more enlightened policy, is
Incorrect, or, at all event, misleading,
because whatever truth there Is In It de
pends upon the fact that the statement Is
merely to the effect that the enlightened
policy Is necessary to enable the country
to progress on the same lines as the rest
of the world, and It Is misleading because
It suggests that. In the opinion of the rul
ing classes, such progress Is a thing to be
desired. No such feeling exists In tho
minds of the majority, or even of a con
siderable minority; but it Is the members
of this minority who are most likely ti
meet visitors to China, and who ore more
likely to be appointed to foreign missions,
nnd whose views', consequently, are mot
readily lmpreesed on the European pub
lic, and are naturally taken as represent
ative of the views of tho majority.
Nothing would please the bulk of the
mandarin class better than that foreign
nations should go away and leave China
alone. She has done without railways and
steam cotton mills and mlnef. where 1004
tons of coal a day are raised by steam.
Instead of 20 tons, dragged out by coolies.
and she can do without them now.
A Clone Call.
"Among the Man-Eaters." John Gaffpln.
Once I sailed these seas, where are the
man-eaters, with a- corpulent captain.
Whenever a chief came on board the first
thing he was sure to admire was the
proportions of our gallant tar, and the
chief would feel him and smack his own
lips and turn up his own eyes at the pros
pect of eo much fatness going to waste,
as one may say. These attentions our
skipper very much disliked. Well, ono
day both boats were absent trading, and
it fell suddenly calm. "The old man" (the
forecastle name for a skipper) and a?lf
were the only whites on board. Tho
strong currents caught the vessel and
carried her on to the rocks, and we could
get no bottom 100 yards from the shore;
the undergo t from the waves kept her
from striking. The natives gathered on
the cliffs, as ravens to a carcass, waiting
for the catastrophe. I took oft all my
clothes, and we watted and waited for
two hours, the natives recognizing the cap
tain, and telling him plainly they would
eat l)lm at last. The strain on our
nerves may be Imagined. At last the can
tain gave way. "Good-bye, G , old
fellow," he said, "those beast? will have
me In the ovens'at once. You may escape
you are thin. If you see my old girl
again, tell her I was.thlnklng of her at
the last." This was said with a gulp and
a quiver In the voice. But Just then the
two boats came round the point, having
at last heard our stern guns, and" we were
saved. '

easier to make than a level one. becauso
any little departure from a perfectly even
surface will be far less noticeable. To se
cure the necessary slope, earth will have
to be filled In near the house If the lot
Is a comparatively level one. Wherever
thero has been an excavation made for tho
house walls or a cellar, there will gener
ally be enough earth near the house to
furnish all the tilling needed In making
the required slope. Thl soil, which Is
almost aluajs hard, should be worked over
until It Is as fine and mellow as posslble,
for n good lawn cannot be made from u.
soil that Is coarse and lumpy.
If the soil Is not rich, it should be mado
so. I would advise the use of bonemeal In
liberal quantity In preference to barnyard
fertilizer, because It never Introduces the
seeds of weeds into the lawn, as manure
from the stables Is very sure to do. Coarse
bonemeal. In the proportion of a half
pound to each square yard, will give a soil
of ordinary quality strength enough to.
produce an excellent growth of grass.

Hood's Sarsaparilla cures them all
JUST THE SAME. It cures thoso
eruptions, boils and pimples which are
so likely to appear in the Spring;
cures scrofula discajea in their most
tenacious forms; cures salt rheum or
eczema and relieves the itching and
burning; adapU itself equally well
to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles due to geherally
weak condition and thin, aniemio
blood; cures nervous troubles, which,
in nine cases out of ten, exist because
tho impure blood cannot supply prop
er nerve food; cures debility and
that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements of health.
This is not merely modern theory but
it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hood's
Sarsaparilla has had such remarkable
success along these lines that it is not
too' much to say it is the best Spring
iledicino, blood purifier, stomach and
nerve tonic that money can bay. -
