London Time*’ History Scores Gener
als and the War Office.
London. May 24.—The second vol-
urilfc oT the London Times' “History of
the War,” which has just appeared, Is
attracting unusual attention because of
its scathing denunciation of^British
generals and the war office. The criti
cism is given additional weight by tha
fact of its appearing under the au
spices of “The Thunderer." No enemy
of Great Britain could more frankly
denounce British blunderers. Starting
with General White’s last fight before
he withdrew to Ladysmith, the au

defeat of Infantry badly haud!-^a4W|,

situation. In which largely by the mis

cavalry was as had as the Infantry
and the situation was only saved by
the heroism of the artillery.
The surrender of troops at Nichol
sons Nek is described as yeejnaturp,
I "though more humiliating than many
surrenders which occurred after It.’’
PassTng to Stormlierg, the writer de
scribes the succession of blunders
which led to the reverse as “sheet
mismanagement on the part of General
Gataere or his staff."
Touching the crowning misfortune
at Colctisn, the author says:
"Just us In tho TTotir of battle Gen
eral Duller had failed the men whom
he led. so now, in tho hour of trial
he was to fall Ills country, which had
entrusted the fortune of war to Ills
hands. lie utterly lost heart. Not only
did he despair of doing anything him-

South Bend, Ind., May 24.—John W.
Curry, aged 81, shot and killed his
sweetheart. Suflarmo Kec6kemti, aged
Id. early today, and then killed himself
with the same irvSlver.
Curry and the girl, with her parents,
all apparently in good spirits, sat on
tho porch until midnight, when ths
parents retired. About 15 minutes
later the mother heard throe shots.
She gave the matter but little thought,
however, and went to sleep. At
o’clock sho awoke and looking out
saw the bodies of her daughter and
Curry lying on the ground.
The couple evidently had planned to
die together. The girl had laid her
best dress and underclothing
chair In the parlor and the man wag
attired in his best clothes. They ap
parently had lain on the ground side
by side. He then evidently placed the
-caliber revolver over her heart and
fired twice. Both bullets, not an inch
apart, passed through her body and
burled themselves In the ground. He
th*»n shot himself In the mouth. Tho
right hand, still clutching the weapon,
