that the late John Cook, the originator
of “Cook’s Tours,” was subject to the
same feeling, lie probably did as
much rnilway travel as a mnn ever
did, his average being 40,000 miles a

constitution, lie found that he became
subject to a peculiar nervous nfllic

disappeared when lie stopped riding

BOER BULLETS BRING BLOOD
Kruger’s Forces Are Credited With the First
Victory of the War.
ARMORED TRAIN BLOWN UP.
Report Has It That Fifteen En
glishmen Fell In the
First Onslaught.
The London Evening News of Fri
day published the following dispatch
from Cape Town:
“An armored train has. been de
stroyed south of Mnfoking. Fifteen
British troops were killed. The Boers
shelled the wreckage after the train
was derailed.”
An official dispatch received at the
colonial office says:
“The armored train was destroyed
near Kraipan station while on its way
to Mafeking with guns.”
This disposes of the fear that many
women and children were involved in
in the disaster.
It was reported in Cape Town,
though as yet rumor was not confirm
ed, that a collrsion had taken place
between trains faring refugees, near
Victoria West, Cape Colony, nine per
sons being killed and many others in
jured.
The Boer forces, with artillery, ac
cording to a dispatch just received
from Stauderton, broke camp at Sand
spruit vtfsterday morning, moving in
the direction of Natal. The war office
has received the following dispatch
from the general commanding the
Cape forces:
“An armored train from Mafeking,
escorting two seven-guns sent from
here ,o Mafeking, was attacked last
night at Kraipan. Apparently a rail
had been removed. The train left the
track, and the Boers fired into into it
with artillery for a half hour, and cap
tured it. Telegraphic communica
tion with Mafeking is interrupted at
Kraipan. The women and children
have been sent to Cape Town. The
guns referred to belonged to the col
ony. They are light and of old pat
tern. We have no details as to casu
alties.”
Flrt Gun Fired.
Tho first act of the war was the
swarming of the Boers across the bor
der of Natal and the occupation of
Laings Nek. An advance in the direc
tion of New Castle is also reported,
but is not fnlly confirmed. The Brit
ish field force in Natal under Generals
White and Symons remains on the de
fensive.
The main body of troops in Cape
Colony is also stationary, but a strong
force lias mover} out from Mafeking in
Bechnanaland toward the Transvaal
border, taking guns and ambnlance
equipment. This force consists chief
ly of rough riders and crack marks
men from Bulawayo, and is stiffened
with the Northumberland Fusileers,
or the “Fighting Fifth,” regarded by
Kitchener as his best regiment. TLe
cavalry is commanded by Colonel
Baden-Powell and the infantry by
Colonel Plummer. These two officers
were the best on the British side dur
ing the Matabele rebellion.
Joubert Cautions His Troops.
Advices from Pretoria state that
Comipaudant General Jonbert’s com
mand is now at Yolksrust. Several
Cape Colonists have been sworn in as ;
Burghers. The town is quiet. Postal '
communication with the surrounding
colonies has been suspended, but that 1
between the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State is maintained.
Commandant General Jonbert has
issued a circular from the chief laager
in consequence of the report that some
of the Burghers had misbehaved them
selves on their jonrney to the borders,
plundering a number of stores. Such
offenses,the commandant general says,
will be severely punched.
“When we are unwillingly com
pelled to cross the boundary line of
our country,” says General Joubert,
“let it not be thought that we are a
band of robbers, and with that iu
view, remain as far as possible from
private dwellings and from places
where no enemy is stationed. When
food or forage for the cattle is needed,
let certain officers acquire such goods
ENGLAND FS DENOUNCED.
ltusdan* and Germans Condemn South
African Policy.
A cable dispatch from London says:
The formation of a British fly e*uad
ron has created considerable bewilder
ment. It is purely a defensive measure
aud inspired by the bitter hostility to
England displayed by the continental
press.
The Russian official organs are fore
most in their threats and incitements
to join the action against Great Bri
tain, though official Germany pro
claims itself neutral, the German press
is second only to the Russian in its
denunciation of England’s South Afri
can policy.
from the owner, and let a receipt be

Mnf‘rTim Now Brltlnh Agent*
A special from Washington says:
The state department was notified
Friday of the withdrawal from Pre
toria of Mr. Conyngham Greene, the
British diplomatic agent to the South
African republic, and the existence of
a state of war between Great Britain
and that republic. Mr. Macrum, the
American consul at Pretoria, has ac
cordingly been instructed to under
take the care of the British interests
in that section during the war.
The notification came to the state
department in the shape of a note
from Mr. Tower, the charge of the
British embassy in Washington. The
details of the transfer of the inter
ests in case of war has been previously
arranged, so all that was necessary
J was the dispatch of a brief cablegram
to Mr. Macrum at Pretoria.
This officer is the superior in rank
to the other consular representatives of
| the United States, ot only in the
Transvaal, but in the Orange Free
State, and has been entrusted to give
these officials the necessary directions.
The only consular official beside Mr.
Macrum in the South African republic
is a Mr. Gordon, who succeeded Mr.
| Manion as consular agent at Johannes-
I burg, Mr. Manion having resigned a
few months ago.
In the Orange Free State the United
States is represented by Alfred Elliott,
consular agent at Bloemfontein. He
is an Englishman, and therefore it is
questionable whether or not he will
remain at his post in his capacity as
| American agent. If be Tetires, Mr.
Macrum will probably select some
American to take up the duties of con
sular agent.
There is no present intention at the
state department to issue a proclama
tion of nentralitv.
DEWEY LAYS CORNER-STONE.
Admiral Returns Again to His
Alma Hater at Northfield,
Vermont.
The little village of Northfield, Ver
mont, in the very heart of the Green
Mountain State, and the home of Nor
wich university, at which Admiral
Dewey as a cadet was grounded in the
principles of military training, greeted
the famous naval officer Friday morn
ing.
The occasion was the laying of the
corner stone of L>ewey hall, a building
made possible by voluntary contribu
tions from prominent alumni of the
university.
The exercises began with an intro
ductory address by Commander Brown,
president of the nniversity, who intro
duced Colonel Henry O. Kent, of Lan
caster, N. H., senior member of the
board of trustees of the nniversity,and
a classmate of the admiral. Colonel
Kent delivered an address of welcome.
Commander Brown also welcomed
Admiral Dewey. The admiral then
stepped forward and laid the corner
stone. As he spread the mortar and
the stone was lowered, he said:
“I now declare this stone duly and
truly laid and according to my wish.”
After the admiral had completed the
laying of the cornerstone, Commander
Brown introduced Chauncey M. Do
pew, United States senator-elect of
New York, the orator of the day.
At the conclusion of Mr. Depew’s
address Admiral Dewey held a brief
reception, after which he was escorted
back to his train and left for Boston,
where a public reception was given
him
ENLISTED MEN SUMMONED.
They Were Onlle.l to Tetlfy Before Board
of Inquiry.
An Atlanta, Ga., dispatch says: The
second session of the military court of
inquiry was held at the eapitol Friday
night.
Twenty-five members of the Atlanta
' battalion had been summoned to ap
pear before the court to tell what they
; knew of the looting of the stores in
North Carolina by the men of that
command.
MILL OPERATIVES STRIKE.
Girl* lit Knitting Factory Refuse to Work
With Ncgroo*.
The white female operatives of the
Oxford knitting one of the
largest manufactories of Barnesville,
Ga., entered into a strike because of
the placing of a negro man at work
among them.
Theresas been aud is considerable
feeling over the matter, and the con
sensus of pnblie opinion is that the
factory operatives are in the right.
Several prominent citizens have been
heard to express themselves as wholly
in sympathy with the girl strikers and
have signified their intention to see
them through the matter.
BOERS W ERE W AITING
Further Particulars of Destruc
tion of Armored Train.
TOWN ON ENGLISH SOU BESIEGED
Th* Trin*vaal Flax I* Bil’*<t o*r Now
Custle—Klmborljr Minos
Are Threatened.
The London Daily Mail’s Cape
Town correspondent, telegraphing
Sunday evening, says:
“Kimberly is besieged and the
Boers are massing in force. No de
tails, however, are obtainable.
“The Boers have cut the railway at
Belmont, have seized the Spyfoutein
railway station and constructed forti
fied earth works. There are stroug
defending forces at Modder bridge
and the Orange river bridge.
“The object of these energetic oper
ations is believed to be the capture of
Cecil Rhodes. Kimberly is now iso
lated, both railway and telegraphic
communication being cut.”
The Daily Mail’s Glencoe Camp
correspondent under date of Sunday
says:
“A force under Commandant Viljoen
from Spitzkep, occupied New Castle
Saturday afternoon, and it is reported
planted their flag over the town hall.
“It is rumored that the Boers have
captured a police patrol of six men at
Dejagers, on the Buffalo river.”
So far as actual news is concerned,
very little change in the situation vs
noticed. The state affairs at Mafeking
can only be conjectured. The occupa
tion of Ndw Castle by the Boers was
prepared for and expected, the place
having been abandoned by the British.
The Boers are reported by press dis
patches to be menacing Kimberly.
Keen Were On the Watch.
Further details are at hand regard
ing the destruction of thß armored
train at Krnaipan. These show that
Captain Nesbitt, who was in command
of the train, was warned at Maribago
that the Boers held tho line. He re
plied that ho was bound to proceed.
Nearing Kraaipan, the train dashed
into a culvert that had been blown up
by the Boers, who were lying in wait
for the train. The Boer artillery im
mediately opened fire and a desjjerate
fight appeaA to have ensued, Tasting
four h&ilffe, with th*. odds greatly
against the British. The precise de
tails are uncertain.
It seems, however, that a police
patrol, attracted by the firing, ap
proached within about two thousand
yards of Krnaipan, saw the train
ditched with the Boer artillery still
pounding at it, but noticed no re
sponse. The Boers seemed afraid to
approached until the wreck was com
plete; and the police feared, as there
was no sign of life near the train, that
the eatire force had perished in a des
perate attempt to get the train back to
Mafeking, where they knew it was
anxiously awaited with its load of guns
and ammunition.
It is reported that the Boers lost
heavily, but there is no means of ver
ifying this. Two miles of rails were
torn up.
There is no authoritative confirma
tion of the report that a battle has
been fought in Natal between Sir
General George Stewart White and
the Orange Free State troops, although
there is no question that the Boers
have crossed the frontier at several
points.
MANY EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS.
Death I.i*t on the Inland of Coran Said to
Have Bee* Four Thousand.
Official dispatches from Batavia, cap
ital of The Netherlands Indies, con
firm the reports regarding the reoent
earthquake on the island of Coran.
Not only the town of Amhoi, on the
south side of the island, was destroy
ed, but several other villages were
wrecked. The official advices declare
that no fewer than 4,000 people were
killed and hundreds of others serious
ly injured.
Marchand Wanted Revenge.
Advices from Paris state that Major
Marchand, who commanded the French
expedition in the Soudan, wished to
go and fight for the Boers for revenge
for being compelled to withdraw from
Fashoda, but the government refused
him permission.
FRENCH MURDER BRITON.
A Tragedy In F arls May Ca>.ie Interna
tional Muddle.
A dispatch to The New York Times
from Paris says:
“A great sensation has been caused
here by the mnrder of an Englishman
named Derrick by French detectives
nt Dieppe. Derrick was so shocking
ly injured that an unusual surgical
operation had to be performed upon
him, with the result that he died. *
“The British consul is attempting
to bring the murderers of Derrick to
justice. English feeling is intensely
excited about the incident, which is
likely to have important international
consequences. ”
