BULLER HAD BEENWARNED
PAID "SO ATTENTION TO HUTTS
FROM THE "WAE OFFICE.
Ill Outbreak Arrayed the Entire
Press Asrainst Him Other
Foreign, flfews.
LONDON. Oct 12. The South African
campaign has a curious effect on British
Generals. Public attention Is centered on
General Buller"s extraordinary exhibition,
while society Is gossiping about the re
markable actions of another General. This
one is a Knight Commander of the Bath,
holding a high command In South Africa.
He is over 60 years of age, has been a
widower for two years, and has engaged
himself by letter to marry a woman of
50 whom he has not seen for 20 years. The
bride-elect, who Is an Irish woman, is
preparing to go out to South Africa. As
for General Buller, he seems to have for
ever shattered every vestige of his repu
tation. A representative of the Associated Press
learns that previous to General Buller's
speech of Thursday he had received sev
eral plain hints from the office expressing
the hope that he would not accept invi
tations to make speeches. Els appoint
ment to the command of the army corps
was made in a spirit of generosity. It
was thought that General Buller could
not do much harm in the two years re
maining before he retired. Failure to ap
point him would have magnified a pub
lic disgrace, which the "War Office was not
willing to inflict on him, believing that
General Buller had done his duty to the
best of his ability.
One of the highest officials connected
with the administration of the army said
to a representative of the Associated
Press:
"The utilitarian spirit of the age has
taken away those sinecures, such as Gov
ernor of Tillbury and Commander-in-Chief
of Berwick, with -which, 100 years ago,
Buller might be shelved and at the same
time rewarded. We had no alternative
but to reward General Buller's long and
conscientious period of service by kick
ing him out or giving him a command
-which his rank demands. Of the two evils
we chose what we thought was the least.
Our justification is, perhaps, somewhat
sentimental, but no army can be run
without a certain amount of sentiment.
'As for the public dissatisfaction with
our progress in South Africa, I fear that
ILord Boberts and other optimistic proph
ets are unintentionally more to blame
than anyone else. iJo one got up anil
said the Burmah "War was over, or that
it would be over in a foolishly short space
of time. It lasted nearly four years, and
the British public took it as a matter of
course. The South African "War has prob
ably got another two years to run, de
veloping, like the Burmah affair, in a sub
altern's campaign. Continual local dis
turbances are being put down by small
garrisons. To supervise such work, wo
know of no one better than Lord Kitch
ener. His chief complaint, which seems
to have missed the attention of the crit
ics, is that, having noncombatant natives
populating the war area, he Is prohibited
from destroying supplies to any degree
of military thoroughness. If we could
concentrate or deport the natives, I think
an effective devastation would quickly end
the campaign."
Buller'a Fate Sealed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Commenting
upon tho recent utterances of General
Buller, the Xiondon correspondent of the
Tribune says:
"Sir Bedvers Buller's outbreak has ar
Tayed the entire press against him, and
probably alienated the sympathy of the
country, already seriously impaired. The
King is a etern disciplinarian, and has
an Intense horror of bad form, and Gen
eral Buller, by his unseemly exhibition,
has violated all the amenities of military
etiquette. His downfall cannot be long
deferred, strong as have been the Alder
ebot and social influences behind him."
Boer Letter to Roosevelt.
NEW YORK, Oct 12. An open letter
addressed to President Roosevelt appears
in the Amsterdam Handelsblad, says the
Brussels correspondent of the Times. It
is written by Charles Bolssevail, who is
well known in England as an ardent Boer
champion, and who addressed a similar
letter to the Duke of Devonshire a year
ago. The new letter includes a histori
cal retrospect of British crimes and cruel
ties, and says Great Britain Is now fill
ing the role she has invariably played In
the past He declares that Great Brit
ain has neither moral courage to offer
favorable terms to the Boers, nor the
soldiers to overwhelm them. He con
cludes: "'May the splendid ultimate triumph of
the Dutch race in South Africa be for
warded by the sympathy of that Amer
ican Nation -whose triumph had the ardent
wishes of Holland. The ultimate triumph
of the Dutch Republics will be a victory
for law and order and righteousness."
Cape Rebel Executed.
MIDDELBURG, Cape Colony. Oct 12.
Commandant Lotter, the Cape rebel,
whose commando, consisting almost
wholly of rebels, was captured south of
Petersburg in September, and who was
sentenced to death, was executed yester
day morning. Commandant Lotter had
been tried and found guilty on eight
counts, including sedition, the murder
of colored unarmed scouts, the murder
of troopers In action, the blowing up of
railroads and the cowhlding of British
subjects and Europeans. -Lotter pleaded
that he was a citizen of the Orange Free
State, but this was disproved. Two young
farmers who had twice joined the Boers
have been hanged at Vryburg. The death
sentence of a number of other condemned
men has been commuted to penal servi
tude. Indian Immigration Opposed.
NEW YORK. Oct 12. The correspond
ent of the Times at Cape Town reports
agitation in that city against the unre
stricted Influx of "Indians." There is in
Cape Colony no provisions like that in
Natal for the regulation of immigration.
The Cape Argus reminds the colonists
that they must revise their notions on
such matters, owing to the war, one of
the causes of which "was the British cham
pionship of Indian grievances. The In
dians, 6ays the Argus, have helped the
white colonists with all their power. Many
serve in the British Army in humble ca
pacities, and many others are respectable
Inhabitants of Cape Town.
Boers "Well Supplied "With Guns.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Dr. Leyds. in an
interview with a correspondent of the
Paris Eclair, quoted in a dispatch to the
Times from Paris, says the British have
kindly provided the Boers with rifles, am-N
munition, horses and food. He declares
that thousands of Afrikanders have been
driven to take the field by British In-
formers, and adds that a scries of decis
ive successes on the part of the Boers
In Cape Colony is expected. Dr. Leyds
says the Boers have buried nearly all
their own rifles, and will not dig them
up again until the British supply falls
short
Captured a Boer Commando.
LONDON, Oct 12. Lord Kitchener re
ports to the War Office from Pretoria
under today's date that General French's
columns have captured Commandant
Scheepcr's commando. The British have
been in pursuit for a couple of weeks.
Scheeper himself was so ill that he was
obliged to trai'el In a buggy.
Transvaal Agrcncy In Belgium.
NEW YORK, Oct 12. The Brussels
correspondent of the Times says there is
no chance outwardly in the appearance
of the Transvaal agency in the Belgium
capital, but operations have now beer
transferred to The Hague, and the Brus
sels officials profess to be ignorant of
what is going on. Dr. Leyds. however,
does not accept the- view that his status
is changed by the arrival in Europe of
other Boer delegates, and still holds him
self to be the Boer Minister Plenipoten
tiary. AT LONDON PLAYHOUSES.
Gnllery Docs "Booing" at English'
jx Well a American Performers.
LONDON, Oct. 12. Another Instance of
Inordinate "booing" by the gallery to
night proved that the English "gods" do
not reserve the opprobrium for American
performances. A really excellent farce,
"A Tight Corner," was produced by an
English Company at Terry's Theater.
James Welch, who has been in the
United States, and who is a favorite -with
Strand audiences, took a leading part
in the play and was enthusiastically re
ceived. At the conclusion of the per
formance, despite vigorous applause from
other parts of the house, the "gods" ut
terly refused to let the manager announce
even that the author of tho plav was not
present.
, The withdrawal of Henry E. Dlxey
from "The Whirl of the Town," Is likely
to have its sequel In the courts on the
ground of a violation of contract, Messrs.
Morton and Kerker alleging that Dixoy's
refusal to appear at two rehearsals of the
mew version of the play left them no
alternative but to secure a substitute.
Mr. Dlxey, pending action by his solici
tors next week, reserves his explanation.

Henderson's four-act play, "The Mummy
and the Humming Bird," at Wyndham's
Theater Thursday evening, has been a
great disappointment The play has been
generally condemned by the critics, and
nothing but the finished acting of Lena
A Ashwell, Mrs. Wyndham and Miss
Moore saves it from utter failure.
Mrs. Beerbohm Tree has been released
by her husband, and will shortly join the
Kendalls in "The Likeness of the Night"
She will take the part of Mary.

No Cardinals at Next Consistory.
NEW YORK, Oct 12. Concerning the
much-discussed question as to whether
Archbishop Ireland Is soon to be made a
cardinal, the Rome correspondent of the
Tribune cables:
Recently efforts -were made to have
Archbishop Ireland created a cardinal.
Other influences started a movement in
favor of Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati.
Reports from the United States Indicate
that decisive action by Pope Leo Is ex
pected "at the consistory to be held in
Rome, October 15." At the "Vatican the
Tribune correspondent has just been in
formed that the next consistory will be
held about Christmas, and that It Is not
probable any new cardinals will be ap
pointed then.
LIberlan Request of England.
LONDON, Oct 12. The Associated
Press learns that the LIberlan officials
who arrived in England early in August,
with the object of obtaining from Great
Britain the right to navigate the Manna
River, have been successful, despite the
fact that Great Britain was unwilling at
first to grant the request of the republic.
In addition to this, the envoys discussed
with colonial officers further propositions.
They were put In the form of a memor
andum which is now being submitted to
the LIberlan Government. If, as Is
thought most probable, this memorandum
is ratified, Liberia's international status
will be considerably strengthened.

thickly populated banks of Lakes Albert

rapid development. The new line, unlike
the Lower Congo Railway, will remain the
permanent property of the Congo Free
State.

Mr. Raynor May 27.
Mr. Hanna Did he receive It on the

Mr. Raynor He never received It on the
27th (after being prompted by Admiral
Schley). He got it June 10.
Mr. Hanna How Is It possible that he
can be affected by an order after all
the lapse of time?
Mr. Raynor That Is just what we want
to prove that he had no orders, except
those contained In dispatches No. 7 aad

Mr. Raynor then repeated his desire to

who is not under inquiry." To this Mr.
Raynor responded ,that it was not in
tended to reflect on anyone, but that it
was intended "to prevent a reflection on1
Commodore "Schley."
It was decided that the dispatch was
already in evidence and Mr. Hanna took
tho witness for redirect examination. He
began by asking If he knew the reason
for the lapse of five or six days between
tho sending of dispatches by the Hawk
and Wasp. To this Inquiry, Mr. Raynor
objected, and there was a spirited argu
ment by counsel as to the admissibility
of the question. Mr. Hanna stated, in the
course of his argument, that the matter
could be fully explained, but said that
if the court objected he would not press
the matter, whereupon Admiral Dewey
remarked: "You better not ack that
question."
The incident was closed with the with
drawal of the question. At this stage of
the proceedings Captain Lemly intro
duced 'as part of the record two letters
from Commodore Schley to Admiral Samp
son, both dated May 23, 1S9S. the first say
ing that he was by no means satisfied
that the Spanish squadron was not at
Clenfuegos and the second telling of the
Information he had received through tho
British steamer Adula.
A somewhat exciting incident arose be
tween Judge-Advocate Lemly and Mr.
Raynor. When Lieutenant-Commander
Staunton was excused, Mr. Raynor asked
leave to present as evidence a supple
mentary chart prepared by Lieutenant
Dyson, of the Bureau of Steam Engineer
ing, showing the speed of the vessels of
the flying squadron. Captain Lemly ob
jected on the ground that this evidence
was not pertinent at this stage of the
proceedings.
Mr. Raynor replied that Jt had been
agreed between counsel that It should be
put In, and he wanted to Introduce it be
fore the testimony got too far away
from the evidence bearing upon the coal
supply. Captain Lemly said he had wit
nesses present and wished to proceed with
the taking of verbal testimony.
Admiral Dewey What objection is
there?
Captain Lemly I do not think it is
the time to do It, sir.
Admiral Dewey The witness can come
down Monday. Unless there is some rea
son why it should not go in now it Is
a courtesy due to the counsel. What
objection is there? We want to know
the objection.
Mr. Raynor here undertook to read a
statement accompanying the chart, when
Captain Lemly, rising, said with refer
ence to Mr. Raynor:
"He Is not accurate in his statements,
If the court please. On the contrary, he
Is very Inaccurate. He holds a paper be
fore him and reads "what Is not on that
paper. He has repeatedly done It."
Raynor Lost His Temper.
There was a ripple of laughter through
the room when this statement was made,
and some persons Inside the railing joined
In It but it was noticed that Mr. Raynor
did not accept the remark as Intended
to be good natured. His face wa3 flushed
when he replied, which he did without
rising, saying:
"If he states that outside the court 'I
will say it is false."
Captain Lemly If he states that outside
the court it is another matter, but If he
states it in the court, it is highly Im
proper. While counsel were still talking back
and forth at each other, Admiral Dewey
arose and administered the oath to the
next -witness, Lieutenant Nathan C.
Twining, formerly of the battle-ship Iowa.
Lieutenant Twinlng's testimony covered
points already brought out as to the siege
of Clenfuegos and the bombardment of
the Cristobal Colon In the harbor at San
tiago May 31.
When Lieutenant Twining had conclud
ed and the court was about to adjourn,
Mr. Raynbr arose, and, addressing the
court, skid:
"I would like to call the attention of
the -court to what I consider a very dis
agreeable attack of the Judge-Advocate.
I have conducted myself with the utmost
degree of courtesy and politeness. It has
not occurred once, but over and over
again In this case. The least little ob
jection that comes in brings tbe most ir
ritable humor possible on his part All I
ask Is this: He made a statement this
morning which- reflected on me; that we
read things to the court that did not
exist and did not read things that did
exist Any man wjth any degree of sensi
bility would object to that, and I do not
-want that statement to go to the court.
They have tried the case impartially and
fairly. There has been no statement
about their trial of the case at all, but
when I have read a paper, not thinking
the last part would bear on the case, the
point was made that I did not read the
whole of it These things are very ob
jectionable to Admiral Schley and myself,
and I think the gentleman owes a state
ment In regard to that."
Captain Lemly If the "court pleases, 1
have to stand upon the record In this
matter. It was not my Intention to be
offensive, and when counsel speaks of my
temper. I must say to him, "Neighbor,
.remove the beam from your own eye be
fore you attempt to take the mote out of
my own.'' I referred more particularly this
morning to the matter of the written
question when he presented and then
read the question indifferently, without
any intention of giving offense, but In the.
earnestness of the debate.
Admiral Dewey I think that ought to
be enough. The statement of the Judge
Advocate should be enough. The court
understands that the Judge-Advocate had
no Intention of wounding the feelings of
either of you, and the court now ad
journs. Accordingly, at 1 o'clock, the court ad
journed until Monday.
VENEZUELANS POORLY FED
Tho Army Not in Condition to Do
Much Fighting.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Oct.
12, via Haytlen cable. Advices received
today from Maracaibo, under date of
October 10, say the "Venezuelan troops
are entrenched at various points .on the
peninsula. A majority of them are in the
vicinity of Maracaibo. The -Venezuelan
soldiers being practically without -commissariat,
they are compelled to live on
the country. The result Is lack of food
supplies of any kind and a consequent
Increase of hunger, distress and suffering
among the soldiers, who have no shelter.
Sickness Is spreading rapidly among them
and they have no medical attendance or
medicines. The Guajarl Indians are be
coming more incensed against tho "Ven
ezuelans on account of the outrages com
mitted by the latter and have mutilated
over a score of Venezuelans who have
fallen Into their hands. These advices
concluded by saying that fighting there
seems improbable.

CHARGED "WITH PERJURY.
Examination of Officers of the Dela
ware Snrety Company.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The examination
into the charges of perjury against Rob
ert L. Martin andHarry Velthusen, re
spectively president and secretary-treasurer
of the Delaware Surety Company,
was taken up before Magistrate Olmstead
in Center-Street Court today. The de
fendants are alleged by Ernest C. Wagen
fuhr to have sworn falsely to an affidavit
which certified that the capitalization of
the Delaware Surety Company amounted
to 51,000,000 paid up. Counsel for the de
fendants moved the dismissal of the case
on the ground that the complaint did not
set forth that the offense alleged had
been committed In New York County.
Magistrate Olmstead granted the motion
and also discharged the defendants, but
told them not to leave the courtroom.
He corrected the complaint and told Mar
tin and Velthusen they were under arrest
on the amended complaint. Tho formality
of rearresting them was gone through
"with. The motion, to dismiss the com
plaint was again made on several grounds,
the principal ones being: First, that the
court had no jurisdiction; second, that no
crime had been committed under the al
legations as presented inithe papers, and
third, that if the crime was committed
it came under the jurisdiction of the
courts of Delaware. Magistrate Olmstead
refused to grant the motion and an
nounced that no witnesses would be heard
on account of the late hour, and the case
was adjourned until October 19.
QUARREL AT A DANCE.
Result Is Tiro Men Burned to Death
One Fatally Hurt, Another Insane.
TOPEICA, Kan., Oct 12. As a result of
a quarrel at a dance in Lane, a little
town in Pottawattomle County, early this
morning, two men were burned to death,
one lies at the point of death and another
is hopelessly insane.
A dance was held there last night, which
was attended by a large number of the
rougher young men of the community.
About 1 o'clock this morning a general
fight started. When it was over, it was
found that John Teehan had been struck
on the head and fatally Injured. When It
became known how seriously Teehan was
hurt, the other dancers scattered. One
of them, Eugene Cronan, a real estate
agent, went to his office to sleep, and was
accompanied' by J. McDonald. During
the early hours of the morning the office
was set on fire by some of the other
dancers, and the two men wero burned to
death. The accumulated events of the
night proved too much for the father pf
Cronan, and he has gone hopelessly and
violently insane.
Stolen Treasury Note Turns Up.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12. A 510 Treasury
note was received through a window at
the postoffice today in payment for
stamps, purporting to be Issued by the
National Bank of Helena, Mont, but
containing signatures which are not those
of the president or cashier of the bank.

"THERE IS
Suffered With Kidney and
Liver Trouble for Twelve
Years - Pe-ru-na Cured
Him Feels Better Than
for Twenty Years.
Hon. William Watson Washburn, presi
dent of the Louisiana Commercial Club,
and a very well-known man of New Or
leans, La., writes from 637Canal street:
"I am satisfied that there Is not a
finer medicine plnced before the
public today than Peruna. 1 have
been troubled for nearly 12 years
tvith, kidney and liver trouble, and
at times I have been a pretty slclc
man, unable to attend to my duties.
I had about made up my mind that
no medicine could help me, -when
one of yonr booklets was brought to
my office, which I rend in a leisure
hour. I then decided to give Peruna
a trial and found that I had at, last
secured the right medicine for me.
For two months I used Jt faithfully
and then felt so 'well I .was like a.
young- nan once more. This was
over a year ago, and Iliave not had
any trouble since. Although I am In
the seventies I feel better and. more
active than I did 30 years ago.

Women Drove Horses COO Miles.
A cavalcade of unusual interest passed
through .town Sunday morning, says the
Corvallis Times. A band of 44 superb
bunch grass horses, driven by a couple
of comely young women, formed the
center of the picture. In front there was
a covered wagon and behind there was
another.
The young women wore divided skirts,
high-topped shoes and rode astride. Each
was equipped -with a pair of spurs that
occasionally went into the saddle horses'
flanks with a dull thud. With ease and
grace of fair vaqueros rode among the
horses and kept them moving like clock
work. The father of one of the young women
rode in one of the wagons. He Is Mr.
McDonald, a Scotchman, who went to
Klamath In 1872, from 'Washington
County. The world has used him well,
and 200 additional horses and a band of
400 cattle still remain on the Klamath
County ranch. Mr. McDonald Is en route
to Washington County, where ho will
spend the Winter unless the horses are
sold out meantime.
Miss McDonald and her young friend
are doing the vaquero act as a diversion
and have enjoyed the trip very much.
They had driven their bunch grass band,
without the loss of a singfe animal, a
distance of more than 500 miles.

Not Amenable to Ohio Law.
COLUMBUS. O., Oct. 12. Attorney-Gen-
L eral Sheets has reached the conclusion
that the United States Steel Corporation is
not amenable to the Ohio law, which taxes
foreign corporations doing business in the
state. He has investigated tho matter and
finds that the United States Steel Corpora
tion owns a majority of the stock of sev
eral constituent companies, but does not
own any of the plants in Ohio and Is,
therefore, not subject to the tax. The
constituent companies of the steel corpor
ation are liable to the tax, however,
and five of the seven companies doing
business in Ohio have paid it.

remedies for liver and kidney diseases.
If a man has anything the matter with
his liver give him a cathartic (choli
gogue), so the doctors say, and so the
people say. If the kidneys do not act
properly, give a diuretic; so the doctors
say, so most people say. Thus It is the
liver and kidneys are prodded and
whipped into greater activity every time
their functions flag. 0
Such people do not seem to understard
that there Is any such disease as catarrh
of the liver, and catarrh of the kidneys.
Cathartics and diuretics only aggravate
catarrh of the liver and kidneys. Peruna
Is neither a cathartic nor diuretic. Pe
runa is a catarrh remedy. This explains
why It Is that Peruna cures a great
number of liver and kidney diseases in
which the usuat remedies fail.
It Is worse than useless to prescribe
cathartics for catarrh of the liver. It is
worse than useless to' prescribe diuretics
for catarrh of the kidneys. Such reme
dies only irritate, and make matters
worse. Perura cures such cases prompt
ly and permanently. Peruna cures ca
tarrh wherever It lurks In tlie sys
tem, whether of the head, nose,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, liv
er or pelvic organs.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
