Itccepts Invitation to Visit Atlanta With Flag
r* Lieutenant Brumby.
RO HONORS THE GEORGIAN
Bpesentation of Brumby Sword
W Will Be Hade By the
r Admiral.
A Washington special says: Admi
ral Dewey has accepted the invitation
of the citizens of Atlanta, Ga., to par
ticipate in the ceremonies attending
the presentation of the sword to Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
The invitation was formally tender
ed to the hero of Manila Saturday by !
a delegation of prominent citizens,
and a prompt and gracious acceptance j
was immediately announced.
Accompanied by Representative Lon j
Livingston, the delegation called upon
Admiral Dewey, at the McLean rcsi- j
donee. The interview had been pro-'
viously arranged through Lieutenant I
Brumby, bonce the Georgians received i
an extremely cordial greeting from the i
admiral. The reception took place in j
the parlor, which was beautifully dec- j
orated with flowers, potted plants and
the national colors.
These little formalities having been |
completed, Mayor Woodward who was
one of the committee, stepped to the
front and in the name of the citizens
of Atlanta, indeed in the name of all
the people in the stato of Georgia, in
vited the admiral to visit Atlanta and
witness the presentation of a sword to
Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood- j
ward went on to say how proud the
people “f Georgia are to claim Lieu
tenant Brumby as their own, and he |
informed the Admiral that a hand- j
Home sword had been procured by;
popular subscription to bo presented
to Lieutenant Brumby.
The admiral at that point inter
rupted the mayor to say that lio had
seen it stated that the people of Geor
gia intended to give Lieutenat Brum-
by n sword, ami liti desired to say that
gallant young officer was worthy of
any honor or distinction his friends or i
bis country might see fit to bestow
upon him.
This high testimonial to Lieutenant
Brumby uns made with so much sin
cerity that it deeply impressed the mem
bers of the delegation, and their ad
miration of the admiral was increased
accordingly. The admiral took occa
sion to say that he not only appreciated
the valuable services rendered by |
Lieutenant Brumby, but he also np- (
predated the noble and patriotic part. |
played by the representatives of the
southern states, in the army and navy
during the war with Spain.
He said he knew how bravely the
southern men rushed to the support of
the nation’s honor and shared the glo
ries of victory w'ith their northern
brethren and thus wiped out all traces
*of sectionalism. Tho admiral’s atten
tion was called to tho fact that Geor
gia sent more men into the United
Slates service to battle against Spain
than any other stato in the union.
The admiral replied that the infor
mation was intensely gratifying to him
and it made him all tho more anxious
to visit Georgia and personally show
his appreciation of the valor and
patriotism of the southern people.
Turning to Lieutenant Brumby, the
admiral said: 1 ‘Brumby, we bave but
two engagements ahead—oue in Chi
cago and one in Philadelphia.”
Brumby replied in tho affirmative,
whereupon the admiral delighted his
visitors by saying:
“Well, gentlemen, you may eount
on mo being present to see Brumby
get his sword.”
Ho said he could not state definitely
when it would be convenient for him
to visit Atlanta, owing to an engage
ment 1m has with the president and
the members of the Philippine com
mission, soon after the president re
turns from his western tour.
His acceptance, with that, qualifica
tion, was entirely satisfactory to tho
delegation, audthe details of the visit
wore further discussed.
Tho admiral evinced such a warm
personal regard for Lieutenant Brum
by throughout the interview that a
ehauge was made in the original pre-
BOERS MAT YIELD.
Molt Rnconmglnir News Ranches Landott
From TratiivKftl.
A London dispatch says: Most im
portant nows from the Transvaal was
received Saturday night, which, if
true, probably indicates that the South
African republic is about to yield, or
any ia case, that the Boers have
abandoned all idea of invading Natal.
The news is comprised in a cable
gram from Newcastle, Natal, which
says that farmers who arrived there
from the Buffalo river state that the
Boers are returning to their homes,
leaving patrols along the river. The
commanders will remain on the Free
State bolder.
ADVICES SENT MATSON.
He I Notified That More
Be Sent Him.
Notification has been sent by cable
to both General Otis and Admiral
Watson at Manila, of the intention of
the navy department to re-enforce the
navy in the Philippines to a con
siderable extent aud stating that the
Brooklyn and seve-ral other vessels
would bo dispatched at the eariiest
possible moment to the islands.
gram, so as to place the admiral in the
picture and give him a conspicuous
part to play in the ceremonies attend
ing the presentation of the sword.
On the steps of the capitol at Wash
ington, it was deemed a high honor
for Admiral Dewey to receive the na
tion’s sword from the president of the
United States. At Atlanta it will be
an equal honor for Lieutenant Brumby
to receivo Georgia’s sword from the
bands of the nation’s hero, Admiral
Dowev. Tho suggestion was promptly
acted upon, and the programme will
be arranged on that basis.
Admiral Dewey stated that his de
sire to show his personal appreciation
and friendship for Lieutenant Brumby
was a Hiiflieient inducement to him to
visit Atlauta on the occasion of the
sword presentation, hut added to that,
his desire to recognize in his humble
way the glorious part the men of the
south have played in the war with
Spain.
He then referred with deep feeling
to the recent deaths of Naval Cadet
Wood of Georgiu, and Lieutenant
Commander Eldridge, of Alabama,two
brilliant young officers of the navy,
who lost their lives at Manila.
DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF
Will Be Discontinued In Compli
ance With Orders Received
From Washington.
An Atlanta dispatch says: Tho
acting commander of the department
of the gulf, Colonel John Simpson,
receivod Saturday from Washington
the official order of the war department
discontinuing the department of the
gulf nnd transferring the headquarters
to Govornor’s Island.
From tho naturo of the order it is
regarded as evident by the officers of
tho department that the mind of the
president has been made up, and that
the efforts of Atlanta business men
will bring no satisfactory result. The
order states that the change is made
by direction of the president, and is
signed by the secretary of war, the
commanding general and the lAljutau
general of tho army.
Colonel Simpson stated that ho wat
in no way acquainted with the purpoa;
of the war department in discontinuing
tho department of the gulf, but sup
posed that Atlanta had been mudo tlu
hesdqnarters on the outbreak of tk(
j war on account of its central location
' nnd its thorough connection with tho
southern scaconst towns. With the
war at nil end thore was nothing to
accomplish by the continuance of the
department.

NATAL NOT INVADEF
Advance of Boers Was Not Made
As Reported.
BRITISH REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE
Massing of Krujer'ii Troop# on the Border
I# No Longer Feared by Great
Britain.
A London special of Thursday was
to the effect that nothing important
developed as to the Transvaal situation
during the day. The Daily Telegraph’s
dispatch announcing that the Boers had
invaded Natal and seized Laings Nek,
now aoems to be without foundation.
The government has received noth
ing to justify the report, although
such a move on the part of the Boers
would naturally cause little surprise.
The British position in Natal was
considerably strengthened by the ar
rival Thursday of Indian transports
with reinforcements of about 2,500
infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of
which will be promptly sent to the
front by train, and with their arrival
at Glencove and Ladysmith, the Brit
ish advanced camps and lines of com
munication will ho practically safe
guarded against the risk of a success
ful dash across the frontier by the
Boers.
The militsy-y authorities apparently
no longer fear the massing of the
Boers along tho border, and in fact it
Ims been provided that the Boers shall
not make a sudden invasion into the
territory. The Natal authorities are
rather pleased with this, because they
argue tho tension of waiting will tell
severely on the Boers’ discipline; and,
moreover, they wiil soon exhaust the
little forage there is near the border
and bo compelled to fall back on their
base, because, in view of the defective
commissariat, they are unwilling to
advance in Natal leaving behind them
a foragoless veldt.
Advices from Aldershot convey the
interesting information that General
Sir lledvers Buller, who is to assume
the chief command of the British
forces in South Africa, is opposed to
the presence of a large number of war
correspondents with his forces and
wants to limit the correspondents to
twelve representatives of the leading
British, Indian and colonial agencies
and newspapers, including in this
number the foreign correspondents.
A dispatch from Perth, capital of
West Australia, announces that the
government of the colony has decided
to dispatch a West Australian contin
gent to the cape. General Sir lledvers
Buller arrived at Balmoral castle
j Thursday night as tho guest of Queen
j Victoria, to bid her majesty farewell
| on his departure.
GRIGGS’ OPIMOJf
In the Colobrated Carter Case Made Public
At Washington.
The opinion of Attorney General
Griggs in the case of Captain Oberlin
M. Carter, of the army, upon which
the president approves the finding of
the. courtmartial, was made public at
Washington Thursday.
After dismissing certain of the minor
charges as unproven, the attorney gen
eral took up the more serious questions
involved,first considering the objection
that the charges upon which Captain
Carter was found guilty were I incon
gruous. He says that, unlike the or
dinary criminal procedure, the mili
tary usages and procedure permit of
an indefinite number of offenses in
one and the same proceeding.
“It is not necessary," he says, “to
discuss whether this practice is wise,
or whether it is prejudicial in the
rights of the accused. It appears to
be established by long continued prac
tice, and, so far as I am able on in
vestigation to discover, without pre
vious challenge.”
But even if this objection were well
founded, the attorney general says, he
does not think the accused should be
allowed to avail himself of the objec
tion now, because he proceeded to
trial without objection to this alleged
misjoinder, and permitted the court to
enter on the investigation of all of the
different specifications, and himself
brought forward his defense as to
each of them. The objection should
have been promptly taken to be made
available.
DEWEY ON FILIPINOS.
Thiuk. Great Latitude Should Be Allowed
For Local Government.
A special from Washington says: In
his interview with the president, Ad
miral Dewey agreed fully with the
views which have been expressed by
President Schurmau concerning the
future government of the Philippine
islands.
He said he favored American control
through the medium of a commission
or civil governor, but great latitude
should be allowed for local government
of the sixty or more tribes, so that tho
administration of affairs could be ad
justed to meet their different habits
and conditions.

Fon| £ht Hours (liven For
thdrawal of British
Troops.
A Donctifci news agency published
the following dispatch Tuesday from
Pretoria, filed there at 7:40 p. m.
Monday:
“An urgent dispatch has just been
handed Conyngliam Greene, the Brit
ish diplomatic agent, requesting an
explicit assurance of the withdrawal
within 48 hours of the British troops
from the Transvaal borders as well as
the withdrawal of all the British forces
landed in South Africa since the
Bloemfontein conference.”
The more peaceful tenor of the
morning’s news and comments had
scarcely been digested and aroused
hopes that President Kruger’s birth
day would also mark the dissipation
of the clouds hanging over South
Africa, when the sensational announce
ment that the Transvaal government
had handed a definite ultimatum to
the British diplomatic agent in Preto
ria caused a rapid slump in the hopes
of those who believe that diplomacy
will yet save the situation. Apart from
this, the news tends to show that so
long as the Boers remain inactive
Great Britain will continue to adhere
to her present persuasive methods.
The Transvaal ultimatum, which is
signed by F. V. Keitz, secretary of
state, concludes with the following
four demands:
First—That all points of mutual
difference be regulated by friendly in
tercourse to arbitration, or by any
other amicable way that may be agreed
upon by this government and her
majesty’s government.
Second—That all troops on ihe bor
ders of this republic shall be instantly
withdrawn.
Third—That all reinforcements of
troops which have arrived in South
Africa since Jnne 1, 181)9, shall be re
moved from South Africa within a rea
sonable time, to be agreed upon with
this government and with tho mutual
assurances guarantee on the part of
this government that no attack upon
nor hostilities against any portion of the
possessions of the British government
shall be made by this republic during
the further negotiations within a pe
riod of time to be subsequently agreed
upon between the governments; and
this government will, on compliance
therewith, be prepared to withdraw
the armed burghers of this republic
from the borders.
Fourth—That her majesty’s troops
which are now on the high seas shall
not, be landed in any part of South
Africa.
To these demands is appended the
definition of the time limit for a re
ply-
“ This government presses for an
immediate and affirmative answer to
these four questions, nnd earnestly
requests her majesty’s government to
return an answer before or upon Wed
nesday, Oetoljer 11, 1899, not later
than 5 o’clock p. m.
“It desires further to add that in
the unexpected event of an answer not
satisfactory being received by it with
in the interval, it will with great re
gret be compelled to regard the action
of her majesty’s government as a for
mal declaration of war, and will not
hold itself responsible for the correct
ness thereof, and that in the event of
any further movement of troops occur
ring within the above mentioned time
in a nearer direction to our borders,this
government will be compelled to re
gard that also as a formal declaration
of war.
“I have the honor to be, respect
fully yours,
“F. W. Reitz, State Secretary.”
Speculation as to the outcome of the
crisis has now given way in the news
papers to the discussion of military
and strategical matters.

Chinese Ht.tory,
Authentic history and biography In
China embrace, a period from the year
122 of our era back to the remote per

than 2,400 years. The full and con
tinuous history of the empire was com
piled in the second century of our era.
The great libraries of Peking contain
volumes of books numbered by the
hundreds of thousands. In the ar
chives of the government are still to be
found the ancient predictions of
eclipses made with great accuracy, to

show a fair knowledge of that inter

most ancient dynasties still exist, and
written works of learned men are as
voluminous as those of European na
tions. And all this learning and love
of learning has been acquired without
help or suggestion from any foreign
people. If their authentic histories
reach back to nearly five centuries ago,
mythical history reaches still further
back into the very night of time.
When Nineveh and Babylon were In
the splendor of their might, men in
China were predicting eclipses, making

Dog’s Batttle with a Cactus.
Otto Kleemann, who lives on Bel
mont street, recently acquired a beau
tiful cactus, which he established in
his household, unmindful of the fact
that his dog held the opinion that his
master should have no other pets be
fore him. Now he has no cactus and
the dejected semblance of a dog. The
little animal espied the plant soon after
its arrival, and issued a challenge. In
default f acceptance he gave battle,
but retired at the first shock to recon
sider. The enemy had more teeth than
a battalion of bull terriers, and all of
them were newly sharpened. He was
no quitter, however, and with rising
auger he renewed the attack. This
time his opponent came down, landing
on him heavily, and with the touch of
a barb wire fence. The two rolled over
and ever in a death embrace, and the
cactus was finally vanquished, torn
into shreds and scattered about the
room. But it was a costly victory. The
conqueror is punctured In more places
than his owner can count. He may live
to fight another day, but it will not be
with a cactus.—Portland Oregonian.
