DeRopy, late of General Delarey's staff, who is delivering lectures throughout the United States on behalf of the Boers and organizing branches of the Transvaal league, addressed an audlence of 200 peoplé at the German Evangelical church Sunday evening. His address all through was a denuncia- tion of the English and Mr. Chamberialn. “The Boers will never give up,” he sald. “They bave all the resources necessary at their command and can easily defeat the English if left alone. People wonder where they get their supplies. Kitchener, al though a British commander, is the Boers' commissary general. Whenever they need anything they make a reid on a British camp and generally secure enough supplies to last several months.’ The captain urged that the United States stop permitting the British to ship mules from this country to South Africa and said that if that was done the Boers would win, and win quickly.

The bellef is general in lowa that de- #pite the fact that the auditing department of the treasury audited Iowa war claims amounting to nearly §500,000, congress will not appropriate for any such sums, for that would lead some other etates to reopen their claims on a different basis. The letter of Secretary Shaw to Governor Cummins trans- mtted the certificate of the War department on the question of war claims, which stated the situation plainly as follow “I certify that I bave examined and set- tled the claim of the state of Iowa in con- formity with the principles announced by the comptroller of the treasury in his de- cision rendered in the ‘Indlana case,’ dated April 14, 1902, and find that there is due from the United States the sum of $455,~ 417.89 for refundment of moneys paid as interest from July 1, 1861, to July 1, 1881, and for discounts euffered and other ex- pen! incurred in procuring funds to sup- press the rebellion during 1861 to 1865.

The discharged men acknowledge that they were engaged in getting money by extortion from Innocent persons and that they took the money from a strange Young woman who was a guest at one of the hotels of the city. But they also allege openly that the same system of extortion is prevalent among the officers on the police force and is countenanced by those in authority. They refuse to make specific charges, but place the entire new police force under plcion. As the result a demand is belng made for a general Investigation. Most of the men on the force are new men, placed there within the last month by the new mayor, but very few being held over from the previous administration. Khorassan Event at Clarinda.
