ESTABLISHED @ive Up Fight. HIS WORDS ON LANDING AT MARSEILLES Will Resist Until Wiped Out of Fxistence Literally and Totally, HIS RECEPTION IS MOST ENTHUSIASTIC Orowds Oheer the 01d Man All the Way from Landing to Hotel. PEOPLE SHOUT FOR LIBERTY AND KRUGER Warmth of His Greeting Surpri Even the Hoers, Who Had Hardly Hoped for So Gemerous a Welcome, (Copyright, 190, by Press Publishing Co.) MARSEILLES, Nov. 22.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—At 8:30 o'clock this morning the Gelderland boomed the first gun of the twenty-oue-gun salute s she was steaming slowly toward the entrance to the harbor. The niue shore forts began to answer just as the pretty white crufser, flying the Dutch flag astern and the Transvaal flag at the foremast, with the president’s pennant at the main- mast, cut the mole between the two light- | houses. The weather was glorious and the Jettles and quays were black with people, cheering like mad with enthusiasm. The Gelderlund was sighted at 6 o'clock and Leyds, with the seven Transvaal and Orange [Free State officlals, Imme- diately went out to the harbor to meet the man-of-war. They found Kruger on the captain's bridge, al- ready smoking his second pipe of state. After thelr hurried greetings were over the president immediately called a secret state council in the ship's dining room, sentries preventing even the sailors’ ap- proach to the doors. Crowd Was Impatient. Meanwhile the Gelderland was hovering back and fokth one mile out. It was 9:30 o'clock when she was moored in the sec- ond large basin. Every cab in the city was immedlately tearing to the steamer landing, loaded with reporters, photograph- ers, police and notables, who held cards admitting them to the beflagged landing where Kruger was expected. There was much impatience on different parts of the docks and after a long walt one Gelder- Jand boat was seen heading toward us. The man seated astern in top hat was mistaken for Kruger, but he was only the interpreter, Prof. Van Hamel, who came to announce that President Kruger would only land at 2 o'clock, the commander of the Gelderland having orders from his government to escort him with a large guard of honor, which yet was unready, in case the French government failed to pro- vide the escort, This aunouncement called forth ener- getic shouts of protest from the crowds, al- ready waiting from yesterday and since early morning today. French officials were then delegated to go aboard and represent the state of mind of the population and the authorities. Twenty minutes later the Gelderland's largest boat clipped in slght, smartly rowed by twenty Dutch tars. Her uniformed commander personally captained the boat, while five other officers stood guard with drawn swords around President Kruger, who was seated astern and sur- roundsd by Gobel Fischer, Eloff Leyds and Wessels. After briskly rounding to the boat was brought alongside the land- ing. Terrific shouts had been going on from the steamers and sailing sels along the route taken by the president's boat. Replics (o Hix Welcome, When the old man landed he removed his hat, looking the picture of stern dignity, but his trembling lips betrayed his emotion and his countenance was extremely sad, He refused the glit armchalr offered him and | stood while the speeches of welcome were delivered. Dr. Leyds briefly translated those, while complete copies were handed to President Kruger, who handed them to Gobel, his secretary for forelgn affairs. His answer, which was delivered in Dutch,laste | exactly seven minutes and was spoken in a subdued volce, which rose with subdued, fervid vibration towards the end. Except perhaps ten persons nobody could under- stand him, but the silence was absolute. When he had finishel th r» were great ¢h uls of applause and then Van Hamel, who had been stenographing the speech, delivered 1t in splendid manner, in French rendering Everbody for the last month has been wondering whether Kruger would care to make a declaration regarding attitude and plans, rather expecting him to show some mildness toward England in order not to embarrass a forelgn government in what- ever deallngs It would have with him, and prepare the way for some compromise, but from the moment of his first words all doubts were dispelled. As soon as he landed President Kruger showed himself the same determined defender of the cause of his people, who have compelled the respect of the civilized universe. Text of His Speech, The following is the text of Mr. Kruger's speech on landing: 1 thank the peop president of the ndependence of th come. in great concourse (o greet though I wear mourning for tunes of my country and of Marsellles and the itral committee of the Hoers for their wel- me, for al- the misfor- theless, accept with all my heart these clamations, for I know they are dictated to you by the emotions which are inspired in you by our trials and by your sympathy for our "cause, which s that of awakened in You.

Wild- man, the United States consul here, bas in- tormation that the Filipino junta, at a meeting held November 15, decided to brave the chances of deportation rather quit Homg Kong. Recent correspondence between the junta and the insurrectionists proves that Aguinaldo is still alive, but he 18 said to be suffering from a gunshot in his stomach. The Hong Kong junta has also decided to make another attempt to send arms to the Filipinos in a launch, which will probably fly the German flag. The venture will be in charge of Colonel Jullo del Pilar.

He will start for Manila tomorrow. FRESH MEAT FROM AUSTRALIA American Soldiers in Philippines Well Provided for by Gov: ernment. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—The report of Acting Commissary General John F. Weston, made public today by the War department, covers the operations of the subsistance department up to June 30 of the present year. It shows that the task of feeding the United States army of 100,- 000 men has been reduced to a system and is now proceeding satisfactorily through- out the world-wide area over which the American troops are scattered. Australian frozen beef and mutton is now used to supply the troops in the Philippines with fresh meat. This keeps sufficlently well to' be furnished to practically all of the posts in the islands of Luzon, Cebu, Iloilo and Jolo. Since tha completion of the re- cent report a great cold storage plant has been constructed at Man!la and arrange- ments have been made for shipping the fresh meat, still frozen, In cars constructed by the quartermaste department all along the line of the Maunlla-Dagupan gail- way and to the islands south of Luzon. A favorable impression was made upon forelgn officers by the efficient system of fresh meat distribution. A chapter is de- voted to experiments with regular army and emergency rations, but final action has not yet been taken by the department. The question of canned roast beef, which caused so much discussion during the Span- ish war, has been settled satisfactorily, it {8 thought, by the preparation of a com- bined beef and vegetable stew, which is both wholesome and palatable, and will take the place of fresh beef or mutton, when tho latter is not obtainable. A recom- mendation of importance is the enlistment with some extra compensation of compe- tent men as bakers and the institution of a field bakery column, modeled upon those now authorized in all foreign armies. Recommendation 1s also made for a regular training school for army cooks to be, es- tablished at one of the large military posts in this country. made in the estimates for the coming year to furnish the army In the tropies with fce whenever It 1s possible for ice to be ob- tained. The report recommends an increase in the force of sixty-two officers, as against the twenty-two now on the regular roster, it being contemplated to dispense with the esrvices ot the volunteer ocfllers now iu the department.

Mellick had been in Chicago several days, had wold his cattle and was preparing to return to the Snake river country.

The wires were blown down and trains are moved with great caution in the absence of telegraphic orders, seriously delaylng | trafic. Many freight cars on sidings had thelr roofs blown off, station bufldings were damaged more or less all through the | storm reglon and the tracks. strewn with wreckage which further retarded the move- ment of trains.

Colorado Springs without a parallel in Former severe wind storms have been accompanied with either rain or snow, but in this case it was neither and the wind carried sand, gravel and small stones, similar to the awful sandstorms of the desert.

Grimshaw, assistant superintendent of the Denver & Rio Grande, “we experienced a storm whish was probably the most nearly like this one of any fu the history of the road. A train of freight cars was blown from the track at Monument and completely overturned. But I think the storm was confined to one locality." Getting Up the Wiren, Trainmaster Dean, from La Junta, with all the linemen to be had, is engaged in restoring the Santa Fe wires between Den- ver and Pueblo, while companies of line- men of all the roads are at work endeavor- fng te restore the wires and enable busi- ness to be resumed at the earllest possible moment.

That was an entirely different storm from the one which devastated Colo- rado Springs and the country between there and Pueblo, Delayed — trains, bringing tired and occasionally frightened passengers, brought fragmentary ncws of the storm at Colorado Springs and along the road from Pueblo to Denver. The last two trains to arrive im Denver reached here about midnight and brought reports that up to $:30 o'clock the hurricane was still raging, and, if anything, Increasing in force. As far as could be learned thero were no fatalities, but great damage was done to property, All along the Denver & Rio Grande, Colo- rado Southern and other roads the wires and | telegraph poles were blown down and the | engineers were compelled to grope their way through the storm belt without train orders, |running on the rights of the train numbers and taking chances on collisions. Only by #00d luck and through the exercise of ex- ceptional judgment wero collisions and the added horror of wrecks avolded. Nearly every train that came into the union depot bore marks of the storm's fury.

It was not until Monument was reached that train orders were o be hud. The storm was left behind after Palmer Lake was reached. Just ahead of No. 4 was No. 3 of the Colorado Springs & Southern. Engineer George Gray reported that he had never seen a worse storm. "It was impossible to seo ahead of the engine,” eaid he. “The sand was flylng so thick that I could not seo the stack. The windows on the left |side of the cab were blown out and the | headlight could mot be kept lighted. Tele- graph poles were down all along the road and we had to run without orders. I saw many houses blown down fin Colorado Springs, but could not learn that anyone ? ad been hurt,” The $wo sensational runs were those made by tralns No. 2 and 10 on the Denver & Rio Grande.
