BRITISH MISCONDUCT.
Grave Charges Made by American Cap.
tain Who Served With the Boers.
NEW YORK. April 17.-Captain Otto
Von Lossburg, captain of the Second
battery, Transvaal state ar tiller)', who
left the Boer army in January, being:
lnrapaclated with wounds, arrived from
Europe with Montague White and Is
now at the Imperial hotel. He will
start for New Orleans, his old home,
tonight. In an interview he said:
"I talked with Jeneral Louis Botha
before I cme away. 'You may go.' he
told me: "you have fought well. I give
you your discharge. When you come
back we shall be free or fighting. I
shall All a patriot's grave. Go, my boy.
God be kind to you.'
'That's the kind of men who fight
for the Boer cause," continued Captain
Von Lossburg. "The English have vi
olated every law of civilised warfare.
They have armed Ave thousand Kaffirs
who are in Steinacher's Horse, which Is
the scum of South Africa. They fight
like the Hessians fought you for hire.
They get twelve shillings a day. They
plunder and pillage everybody, young
and old alike.
"When I was wounded I was put in
a Red Cross ambulance and started for
Lourenco Marques. We were held up
bv fifty Kaffirs, who wore nothing but
breech clouts and carried British rifles.
They took everything we had and
turned me back to Pretoria.
"I complained of the violation of the
Red Cross flag and robbery to the Brit
ish officers. They investigated and ad
mitted that I had been shamefully
treated. They promised restitution
'after the war." You Americans have
little conception of the resources of the
Boers. General Delarey alone has three
million rounds of ammunition. We I
have twenty guns and a long Tom. The j
latter in hidden for future need. We
need nothing but ambulances and our'
supplies.
"Our Holland societies sent us three
ambulances and horses several months
ago via Lourenco Marques. The British
there had them held up and they are !
there yet, while our men are dying for j
the need of them. i
"Our forces are distributed like this:
Delarey has six thousand men; Botha,
four thousand ; De Wet five thousand
and the rest are In flying corps. They j
constantly harass the British. Most of
our men are fighting suutn of Pretoria. I
"The Americans with our irmy and i
particularly the IrbOi-Americans are
doing magnificent fighting. One of the
latter was a sergeant-major in the
Sixth Massachusetts regiment. The i
Irish-Americans prevented the rapture j
of our long Tom by their bravery at :
Leydenburg- They fought like fiends, j
"The English hive 100,000 men tied up j
guarding the railroad at Port Elizabeth, !
New London. Durham and Cape Town.
Last November a lot of mules and i
horses for their army reached Lourenco j
Marques. Only the French, consul pro- j
tested. The German and American con- i
suls were mute. Portugal heedH the I
French protest and made the ships un- '
load elsewhere out of Portuguese ler-
ritory. j
"The British recently desecrated the
Lutheran church at Rusterly mission.
The Tommies took the church organ
and while one of them played ihe oth
ers danced to the music with Kaffir
irlrls. At Lystenberg thr British dese
crated a cemetery by making it a cat
tle pen.
"Our winter season begins in May and
ends In September. The Boers will take
to the hills until it is over. They have
little baggage to Impede their mobility
while the British troops are weighted
down. We shall play havoc with them
when the winter sets in."
The captain denied that Gen'-ral De
Wet is Insane.
"He is the most dangerous 'Insane
man' that England ever coped with," he
said, "General De Wet ie a military
genius. He has made his raw troops
into one of the best disciplined and most
dangerous forces In the world. They

SOUTHWESTERN DEAL.
Progress Being Made In the Consoli
dation of Railroads.
NEW YORK. April K.-The Herald
says:
It can be definitely stated thai fur
ther progress his be?n made In the
Southwestern railroad "deal." which is
being engineered by the Standard Oil
Gould -Harriman lntrsts. Just what
properties are to be Included in this
new consolidation of railroads cannot be
accurately stated, but the prospective
nurchaser of the Mexican Central is.
or is to be. the St. Louis Sin Fran
cicso Railroad Company, and shrewd
railway men say that if the "Frisco has
bought the Central then some one has
bought the 'Frisco. The strength and
activity of Mexican Central issues
clearly indicate a purchase for some
private interests.
From one of the very higher! banking
au:horltI?s the Information is obtained
that eventually the St. Louis & San
Francisco will iurn up as owner of the
property. When asked if the St. Louis
& San Francisco was not planning n
extension Into Mexico, President Yoa
kum of the road said:
"Yes, we are to build an extension
toward Mexico." Mr. Yoakum said that
the 'Frisco road had not bought the
Mexican Central but when asked if it
was not the intention of the 'Frisco In
terests to take over that property, he
said that he could not tell what might
happen In the future. Railroad men
who have heard the report say without
exception that If the 'Frisco has ac
quired or is to acquire the Mexican
Central, then some greater power has
acquired the 'Frisco. The concensus of
oolnion is that any such purchase would
logically be by thcGould interests which,
despite i's inactivity until recently, is
ill the dominant railway power in the
Southwest.
The reason advanced for saying that
the 'Frisco is not alone in the matter
is that the new construction to connect
the 'Frisco, either from Paris, Tex., or
Oklahoma, its most western and south
western termini, with the Mexican Cen
tral at El Paso, is too extensive for
that company to undertake single
handed.
OperaMng In harmony with the Gould
roads, the extension required to make
the connection would be far less con
siderable and then, too. the harmony of
Interest in the Southwest would be bet
ter conserved.
AFTER SOUTHERN COTTON.
President Hill Will Ship It to Oriental
Markets Over His Lines.
CHICAGO. April K.-Speaking of the
Purlington. Great Northern and North
ern Pacific deal, the Record-H'-rald
says-
"What J. J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern, wants of the Burling
ton system s not an outlet to Chicago
as a link in an eastern line for the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
but chiefly a connection with St. Louis
and Kansas City. He wants to reach
the cotton of the South for transporta
tion over the Great Northern and Nor
thern Pacific and his steamships now
building, to Oriental markets.
"It Is no part of his purpose. It !
declared Mr. Hill said, to use the Bur
lington as an exhaustive nutlet for he
two Pacific roads to Chicago. On the
contrary, all the six Chicago roads
which bring business to the Great Nor
then and Northern Pacific will have
their fair share of the traffic as now.
It is understood that St. Paul Is to be
the central headquarters of the organ
ization. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
California On Promoter Missed From a
Southern Pacific Train.
DENVER. April 17.-A special to the
News from El Paso, Tex., says:
C. S. Young, a wealthy oil promoter
of Bakersfield, Cal.. was missed from an
incoming Southern Pacific train near
here and no trace of him can be found.
Young was en route to the new oil
fields at Beaumont, Tex., with several
friends. When nearing the quarantine
station he got up to go from one car to
another and has not been seen since.
His hat and valine were left In the
car.
JONES MAY BE INDICTED.
Pot! Attorney and Valet to Answer
Charge of Murder.
NEW YORK. April IT. lawyer Al
beit T. Patrick, accused by Valet Chan.
V Jinea of Instigating the murder of
M.ninnnirv W:n. Uiiv, will be Indicted
for murder In the first i'.k!v? within the
next three days. V.ilct Join's may be
also Indicted for the murder. The lat
ter !s at present In the house of de
tention, charged only with forgery.
Patrick's hearing was concluded
Thursday last. The sole qu-':ion at Is
su.' was whether or not Jon s' st 'iy
of the crime was sulliclently corrobo
rated. Justice Jerome took the tran
script of the case to decide for ti';ms;'If
from the record.
"An examinuion of the evidence." he
sai.l in his decision, "satisfies me that
the witness, Jones, is adequately 0'r-
rvb 'rat d within the meaning of the
ckI-' by evidence tending to connect
the defendant with the commission of
the crime charged. The defendant must,
therefore, be held upon the charge of
murder In the first degree to await the
grand jury."
Pattick would not comimnt upm this
decision.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
said:
"Patrick will be Indicted right away
w ithin the week. The state has no de
sire to delay the proceedings. Mr. (ar
v in is at work now on the complaints
to be presented to the grand Jury.
There can be no doubt of the result of
the grand Jury's consideration of the
complaint. I believe I have enough evi
dence to convict Patrick before any
Jury.''
William W. Cantwell, of the counsol
f.ir Patrick, said:
"Of course we are somewhat disap
pointed at Justice Jerome's action. We
are satisfied that not one Iota of evi
dence was submitted In corroboration of
Jones' testimony of a nature to connect
Patrick with Rice's murder. There was
some corroboration, it is true, tending to
confirm Jones' statement that he mur
dered Rice, but we do not wish to criti
cise the action of the Justice. We do
wish to say, however, that we desire
the testimony submitted to the grand
Jury' with the least possible delay. We
shall be ready to go to trial Immediately
upon rhe action of that body."
RI.OW TO POOL SELLING.
State Attorney May Suppress 1.m
Rooms Regardless of I.ocal
Officials.
CHICAGO. April IT. Pool selling in
Illinois outside of regular race tra(ks
or fair grounds received a blow when
Judtv Haraell. of the circuit court of
Madison county, made permanent the
temporary injunction granted against a
pool room across the river from St.
Louis.
Hereafter, according to this decision,
there can be no pool rooms In the state,
no matter how complaisant local "sheriff
or chiefs of police may be, as long
as the slate's attorney of the county
objects. If the state's attorney fails to
suppress pool rooms, the attorm'y-g'n-eral
cf the state can step In.
The matter is not of great Importance
in Chicago now, as the list pool room
was closed on Saturday and no others
have been opened, but if there Is any
attempt to start, the method of stop
ping them has been pointed out. The
decision, however. Is of importance all
over the state, as the method of clos
ing pool rooms which has proved so
effectual in Madison county Is appli
cable to Cook. Will, Dupage or any oth
er cmintv In the state.
