DE WET USES A LASH. - Daring Burghers Proved False. Boer Chieftain Dedicated His Book to, His “Fellow-Subjects of the ] British Empire.” London, Nov’ 30—“Had not 80 | manyof our burghers proved false | to their own colors, England, as the | grent Bismarck foretold, would have found her grave in South Africa” That is the keynote of his book en- titled, “Three Years’ War,” publish- ed by Archibald Constable & Co. in London and dedicated bv the Boer general “to my fellow subjects of the British Empire.” It is perhaps the most remarkable book by the most remarkable leader that any recent war has produced ply told tale of the extraordinary Theconcise, sim- | Gener | Savs Many sonably good this season around j;more good mines developed in this} campaign marked throughout with the stamp of truth, The bald ness of the narrative only serves to bring into relief the fiery passages over a sfrong man, litterally blurt- ing ont his soul in pathetic regret or bitter denunciation, Of “Tommy Atkins” he has many kindly words to say, and declares “the British were far from being bad shots,” The comparative immunity of the Boers from harm, De Wet constant- ly and most fervently attributes to the interposition of God. ‘If any reader,” he says, “is eager to know how it was I kept out of the hands of the enemy Lean only answer, al- though I may not be understood, that T ascribed it to nothing else than this—it was not God’s will that T should fall into their hands. — Let those who rejoice at my miraculous is escapes give all the praise to God Nevertheloss the book teems with | by whieh De Wot outwitted lis pur sners. Frequently he recounts cases of desertion and panie among: his own nen when his entrenties aud “sjamooking” were all of no avail. DeWet pays a tribute to General Cronje for his bravery, but dechires he lost at) Pardeburg only on ac count of his fatal obstinacy to leave the langer, as he was advised to do by Gen. Botha and by the writer himself Regarding his own forces, De Wet | writes: “It was far easier to fight against the great Englishnrmy than against treachery among my own people, and an iron will was required to fight against both, Ounce, ii ouly our orders had been carried out a little more strietly, and if only the most elementary rules of strategy had been observed in our efforts to_ break the British line of communier «| tion, Lord Roberts and his thous: | ands of troops would have found themselves shutupin Pretoria, where | they would have perished with hun- ger.

Hot Springs, Va., Nov. 29. —Col Thomas Ochiltree died bere at o'clock Tuesday of heart trouble, had been in a sinking condition®ince Monday morning and it is a surprise to his physician @M well as to others, that he lived un uesday. Hewas conscicus, but soon grew much worse ahd lost consciousness again. He died without pain. Arrangements for his funeral were made by friends in New York. Colonel Ohiltree was a Texan, who spent much of his time in New York and London. He did newspapér i work under the title “Ranger” in the i Sportsman. He represented the As- sociated Press at the Brussels mone- tary conference. He owned the Houston Telegraph at the time of the openjug of the tirst Paris exposition. Ochlitree wasin the New York Herald . bureau when its account was cabled. Said Ochlitree to Ja Gordon Bennett: * “Asa special favor, sub, will y have the kindness to duplicate tha} to my papah Houston, sub?’ The report was sent and the manag- ing editor published it in full. When he realized the size of the cable tolls he was horrified. | Ochlitree said of the afffair: “The editah paid the bill like a Texas gentleman, suh, and then we suspended publication.” SCABSTORIA.
