THE CLIMATIC DIFFICULTIES.
Sufferings of Prltwli Troops Under the
Pust and Vertical Sun of the
Tropics.
LONDON, March S. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) "Men seised
with sunstroke, writhing and gasping
for water, were lying every fifty yards
or so." This Is not a description of a
battlefield, but the account of the very
ordinary practice march made by Gen
eral MacDonald's Highland brigade to
Koodoosberg on February J, as told by
the correspondent of the Standard.
And the brigade had only marched ten
miles when the men began to suffer.
It !s only from vivid descriptions such
as comes by mall that the climatic con
dltions of the veldt can be thoroughly
released. The correspondent goes on
to say:
"Fortunately, the river being close
by, water was procurable and the men
all got Into camp at the drift by 1
.o'clock. Only a few of the cases turned
cut to be serious. Two men were lost
altogether, one of whom was found wo
days later by a patrol of Lanxrs. He
was In raving condition and died
shortly after being brought into camp.
The lessons learned from these things
are interesting. "The march clearly
showed," says the same writer, "the
danger of taking Infantry for long dis
tances In the heat of the clay without
a proper water supply It practically
decides that the route to Pretoria must
be either along a railway or along the
rivers.
"Another thing clearly manifested
was the unsultabllity of the heavy
equipment of the men for a campaign
In South Africa. Each man was car
rylng IjO rounds of ammunition in
pouches bung on his belt and attached
with an arrangement of straps which
closely resembles the ordinary mule
harness used here. Hung on his back
was a heavy overcoat, which, since the
march from Orange river began, has,
so far as I have observed, never been
used once. Then there is the water Dot
tie, canteen, rifle and other necessary
articles, making up about sixty pounds.
The kilt is quite unsuitable for such a
march. Thorns caught them and tore
the bare legs of the Highlanders In the
most cruel manner."
H. F. Provost Battersby, writing
from Orange river to the Morning Poit
gives a still clearer Idea of what life is
to soldiers on the veldt. His dispatch
dated February 5, is as follows:
"The sun feels like a heated iron held
close to the skin; one cannot hold
piece of wood which has been lying in
it The deep, liot, red sands makes un
tenable the soles of one's boot and the
dust rises at each step and Icings to
everything that moves. To and fro In
their midst, In a trail of dust that nev
er settles, move continuously the long
trains of transports.
"The sidings are choked with trains
loaded with an army. Progress is mad
deningly slow for there is but a single
line from De Aar to the Modder."
Then comes a delicate touch of local
color.
"At evening," he writes, "from one

of those low hills by the river it looks
like one of the great fairs of Southern
Russia. No man could paint that pic
ture and paint into it the sense of war.
Even the busies which cry to each oth
er down there about the flres have no
stern hardness In them no song of
death. There Is not In all those miles
the dimness of one bead of dew. But It
is the plague of dust and flies that
make life so unbearable." From Mod
der river, Mr. Battersby writes:
"When the first shot was fired across
the Modder river the land was green in
its way. It had at least on it a make
believe grass, a sparse, dried, untooth
some looking herbage, which man an !
beast accepted as fodder. Now It Is a
biasing red waste of sand. The waste
extends, the sand is Intensified as regi
ment Is added to regiment, battalion to
battalion,' battery to battery, troop to
troop. The dust which was once a nui
sance. Is now little less than a plague.
It Is always being stirred by the
strings of horses on their way to water
ing, which pass and repass to the river
almost every hour of the day, by the
kicking, squealing droves of transport
mules, and by the long spans of -xen."
"But the dust devils are little more
than an amusement to our dust-ridden
souls. It is the dust which comes, not
In daily spirals, but In overwhelming
clouds, that we fear; which hides, not
a tent here and there, but the entire
camp, the roof of heaven, all vestige
of the world, which blinds the eyes and
brings blood to the eyelids, fills the
mouth with its gritty foulness and
coats every Inch of the body with
film of brown: which lasts not for
few blustering moments, but for hour
after hour of. unrellevlng discomfort.

Well, we shall have, please heaven, but
few more days of it now.
After the dust, and but a short way
after the flies. One used to think, as
a child, besides the lice and the blood
and the blalns that the Egyptians were
let off rather lightly with Hies. A short
stay by the Modder river alters that
opinion. The lent Is black with them,
the jam pots hum under the hands that
iits them from the table and the flies
pour out between one's fingers like
black spouts of water. They follow the
ir.k as one writes and the pen Is clogged
with their severed feet. Beyond doubt
one di I the Egyptians an injustice.
'But with the dust and the flies trou

THE DU BOIS "SENSATION."
Mr. Vosburg Declares That Much More
Has Been Said Than Is "Warranted.
TUERTO RICAN TARIFF.
Attempts to Unite the Aepubllcans
the Senate Has Failed.
in
NEW YORK. March 12. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
All attempts to unite the republican
forces of the senate on a compromise
Puerto RIcan bill have thus for. failed,
Senator Aldrlch and other members
of the steering committee are trying to
bring about an agreement but Senator
Foraker Is still unwilling to go any
furthen than to accept an amendment
allowing all the food products to be
imported Into Puerto Rico from the
United States free of duty. He is not
inclined to yield the management of
his bill to the steering committee.
He thinks that w hen he and his com
mittee have decided upon a measure
as proper they ought not to yield their
Judgment to senators who have not
given the matter the same amount of
consideration.
Senator Aldrlch Is still hopeful that
some compromise may be reached and
he Is anxious to bring It about, if pos
sible, before he leaves for Cuba, about
the middle of the week.
The plan of compromise advocated
by some senators Is to have the pend
ing bill amended by cutting the tariff
entirely loose from the general govern
ment bill and attaching It to the Puer
to Rican relief appropriation, but so
amended as to permit all Imports from
the United States into Puerto Rico free
of duty and to reduce the duty on Puer
to Rican goods Imported Into the Uni
ted States, below the proposed 15 per
cent of the Dingley rates.
This, it is contended, would still
preserve the principle at the bottom of
the pending bill and would enable a trst
case to be made before the supreme
court to determine the question as to
the power of congress to Impose duties
on commerce between the United States
and the insular posesslons.
One of the arguments against ac
cepting the proposition is that it would
weaken the contention so strenuously
made by the republicans in the house
that the tariff was needed to supply
revenue for the insular government. It
Is pointed out that if no duty whatever
should be collected at the Puerto Ric
an end and if the rate at the United
States end should be reduced below 15
ar ent the bill would yield so little

city paying taxes on timber lands,
ow ned by J. E. Du Bols. of Du Hols,
Penn., left on last night's train for
Portland. Just before leaving Mr. Vos
burg met a representative of the As-
torlan and said:
"Mr. Du Bols, has no present Inten
tion of locating a saw-mill In this sec
tion of the country. It Is true that Mr.
Du Bois did not buy the timber as a
speculation, and will at some time in
the future build and operate a mill."
Mr. Vosbur? siid that there was no
ground for any sensation about the
matter and that he had no Idea of the
location, or when the mill would be

THE STRATHGYLE IN.
One of the Largest Vesels Ever to En
ter This Port.
Th British steamer Strathgyle ar
rived in yesterday morning. The
steamer Is one of the regular Santa Fe
liners, and is a steel suainer of 3.2S4
tons net, and Is J95.3 feet long and 48.7
feet beam, 23 feet depth of hold.
The Strathgyle Is a fine ship and Is
one of the lagest carriers that has ever
been In this port.
She will take 4.000 tons of flour from
Portland, and finish leading with cot
ton at San Diego.
The captain of the steamer should
have no cause of complaint about this
port; as Consul Cherry said that he
was probably put through the customs
house on record time.
