While the war has opened quietly and there are no exciting episodes, there Is Intense Interest In the meagre details which are allowed to pass the censorship In South Africa.

STEAilSHIP COMPETITION. Icy. Through not believing at present that these outbursts of rancor will material- j ize, the British government Is talcing timely precautions against eventuali ties. The difficulty and delay In mobilising an army corps for South Africa is re garded as most unfortunate, and cal culated to induce Britain' enemies abroad to take advantage of the pres ent crisis -to satisfy old animosities. The report that the Irish members of parliament who have wished success to the Boers were to be impeached for high treason Is considered absurd. At the same time the formation of an Irish corps with Kruger excites violent re sentment. The Globe, noted for Its Jin goism, advises the commanders of the British forces that their duty, should they capture any Irishmen north of Mafeklng. WARNED TO LEAVE. Getting Down to Natural Plane.

It Is exeremely doubtful If the pres ident will be willing to again reduce Rear-Admiral McNalr, who was pushed down as a result of the promotion of Admiral Dewey, or to place Rear-Ad-mlral Howell further down orf the list when the officer performed creditable service during the war with Spain.
