Chamberlain dealt comprehensively with the past and future of South Africa. “We have no intention,” he declared, should be robbed of thelr old traditions. We desire that they should reserve all the best characteristics of their race and hope they will shake hands with us, thus securing property in South | Africa under the flag which protects dif- | ferent races and different religlons.” That sentiment was the keynote of the speech. Dealing with the Afrikander question, Chamberlain said he believed every in- ducement to labor should be held out to the blacks, but no compulsory labor would receive the slightest Government support. There was no Intention of pack- ing the country with Britishers, but so much Transvaal land was lying idle that the colonies could only be made a great coin-producing factor by bringing in Brit- sh settlers. Chamberlain’s speech evoked criticism of the financial features of the policy out- lined for South Africa from Sir William Vernon Harcourt, James Bryce and oth- ers. Bryce says he hoped the National Scouts would not be used as police, but Chamberlain said he could not see why they should not be so employed, as they would make admirable civil guards. Chamberlain also said he hoped the royal Jjudicial commission going out to South Africa would. exercise the King's clem- ency in view of the large number of sen- tences imposed during the war. KITCHENER'S NEW TITLE. Many pages of the Gazette to-day are filled with Lord Kitchener’s final dis- patch on the Boer war and his mention of officers and men who distinguished themseives while he South Africa. The same issue announces the granting of a new title as “Viscount Kitchener of Khartoum and of the Vaal | and of Asphall, in County Suffolk.” In his last dispatch Lord Kitchener said of Lord Milner, the British High Com- missioner: “In many difficult situations it was al- ways the greatest rellef to me to feel that I could rely upon his unfailing sympathy and assistance.” the deep obligations of the army onies, the writer said no request of his had ever been refused by the colonial governments, and their con- sideration and generosity only equaled the character and quality of the troops @ ottt e e e e @ CHINESE ARE CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE SCHOONER Customs Officials at the Southern Border Capture Violators of the Law. EL PASO, Tex., July 2.—A prairie schooner, loaded with six smuggled Chi- nese, piloted into this country from Mex- ico by an American, was captured near Douglas, Ariz., by customs guards. The driver of the wagon escaped, but the Chinese are in custody on the charge of | violating the exclusion act. Detective Riley of the Bisbee Rallway, who is in the city, says that the investiga- tion disclosed the fact that Chinese have been smuggled into the United States regularly for some time by means of rie schooners, which failed to arouse the suspicions of the border guards.

Ljeutenant Colonel Girou- ard, a Canadian officer, is warmly praised, Lord Kitchener saying he is an| ““officer of brilllant ability, and I wish him all success in his new capacity as head of a great civil department.” | Almost ail the leading generals were commended, including the writer's broth- er, General Fred Kitchener, who was de- | scribed as an exceptionally keen and en- ergetic officer. | General Lord Methuen, Lord Kitchener sald, had done more than most officers | toward maintaining the high standard of personal courage, modesty and humanity which characterize the army.

WORSHIP OF BOER LEADERS. CAPE TOWN, July 29.—Generals Del: v and Botha were given an ovation yes. terday at Stellenbosch. They were driven to the town hall and each of the two car- riages was drawn by sixteen students. At a luncheon which followed the students acted as waiters. General Botha, in a feeling address, | sald the day of the surrender was the most painful of his life, but now that it been done he prayed earnestly that his hearers should consider it God’s will. Although Afrikander nationality, in a wmanner, had been buried, it would remain the most important factor in the soclal life of South Africa. General Botha paid a_tribute to former President Steyn's abllities as a statesman. “Now let us stop -bothering ourselves ebout politics,” said the general, “and 'y to make ourselves happy in South Af- , because we have no home else- where.” Generals Botha and Delarey will pro- ceed to England, the United States and Canada to collect funds for the relief of the widows_and orphans of the Boer sol- diers. | The hero worship of the Boer command- | ers was strikingly illustrated at the mar- | riage of General Delarey’s daughter to | his secretary, Ferreira, at the Dutch Re- | formed Church. The approaches to the edifice. were packed and the congrega- tion cheered Generals Botha, Dewet and | Delarey as they entered the church. Dewet was carried from the church on the shoulders of his more enthusiastic admirers. When the bridal party appear- ed the congregation arose and cheered until the minister threatened to stop the ceremony or clear the church.

THOUSHNES MAY PERISH T LEVEES Army Officer in New Orleans Makes Start- ling Report. Catastrophe Can Easily Oc- cur at the Crescent City. War Department Asked to Take Measures for Prevention of an Accident Which May Hap- pen at Any Time. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N.! W., WASHINGTON, July 29.—Constant | danger of destruction during the time of high water threatens 200,000 residents of | New Orleans, on account of the poor con- | struction of the levees protecting part of | the Crescent City, according to a report of | Major George McC. Derby, Corps of En- gineers, U. S. A., just received at the War Department. He urges that the risk, which is lightly regarded because the levees have never yet broken in the time of high water, should be promptly obviated before a great disaster will have paid a fearful price for negligence. He points out that the levees are for miles constructed at the very edge | of the river banks, which are constantly washed out and caved In and that if .a crevasse in a levee occurs in a time of high water nothing could prevent terrible | loss of life and property. Behind the report, which is part of a re- port of the Mississippi River Commission, lies a story of difference between the army engineers, who superintend the work of dredging and levee construction done by the Government, and the munici- pal authorities, who render a like service | in the work carried on by the city of New Orleans. The engineers have held for a long time that the work done by the city was incomplete and unsafe. Frequent protests have been made, and the feeling | over the matter has come to be quite pro- nounced. Engineers here who are fa- milfar with the situation declare that the city government of New Orleans is feeling blind secure because an accident of the kind feared has never occurred in the past. v Major Derby speaks in his report of the vast amount of work done on the river at New Orleans in repairing the banks and protecting them so as to give permanency | to a short line to permit the construction of elevators, wharves,-and other shipping | facilities. He speaks of the danger of be- ing underwashed, which threatens the banks of the river, and says: | ““Consequently, no levee located within 200 feet of such a bank can be considered entirely safe, however good a levee it may be otherwise, for there is always a chance of its caving into the river at high water. Ofi course such a risk would not generally be a great one, since high water sults of a crevasse are not usually over- whelming. But I wish to call attention to | there are many thousands of feet of levee located on the edge of such banks as I have described, and we have a population of probably 200,000 people who are living | behind these levees on low land in one- story frame buildings, so that a sudden crevasse occurring in the levee line of the city at or near high water would probably be most disastrous and accompanied by great loss of life. It is, in my judgment, a great mistake to take this risk a year longer than is absolutely necessary, and I | would recommend that funds be provided to complete a project for the protection of | the banks as promptly as practicable, in- stead of at only one-sixth rate, which has been recommended for the past ten years.” @ il @ FRIENDS HONOR ~ DEAD MAGNATE Requiem Mass Said for Repose of Soul of Mackay. LONDON, July 29.—Many American and English friends of the tamily were pres- ent to-day at a requiem mass said in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Cadogan Square, for the repose of the soul of John W. Mackay. The members of the family were Clarence Mackay, the Princess Colonna, with her young son, and the daughter and two sons of the Countess Telfner. Mrs. | Mackay, who Is still prostrated, remained | at ner home with her mother, Mrs. Hun- gerford. The Countess Telfner is ill at the Walsingham Hotel. * Mackay’'s' body was taken last evening to the Nottingham Convent, where it wiil remain until taken to America in Septem- ber or October, when Mrs. Mackay will accompany it. v To-day's service was confined to the celebration of the mass for the dead. The floral decorations of the chancel consisted chiefly of large bunches of lilles of the valley. The mass was composed by Father Charles Clark of London and was sung by a choir of twenty. Among those present were Joseph H. Choate, United States Embassador to Great Britain; Commander Richardson Clover, naval attache of the embassy at London, and Mrs. Clover; Bradley Martin, Mrs. Parkinson Sharpe, Mrs. Maitland Kersey, Mr. and Mrs. George G. Ward, Frederick Ward and Jefferson Levy of New York. 3 CONSPIRATORS LOSE THE: ILL-GOTTEN COIN Embassador Clayton in Mexico Se- cures a Settlement of a Not- able Case. WASHINGTON, July 20.—United States Embassador Clayton at Mexico City has succeeded in securing restitution in one of the largest embezzlement cases before the Mexican State Department. Some time ago James Brown Potter, representing large American and English interests in the Tlahulilo Mining Company of Mexico, appealed to the State Depart- ment for justice, claiming that by a fraudulent conspiracy some of the direc- tors of the company had embezzled funds to the amount of over $2,000,000. This, it was charged, was accomplished by pack- ed elections and the bestowal of illegal powers upon one of the directors of the company. The fact that some inferior Mexican officials were involved in the conspiracy made it almost impossible to Gobtain justice by ordinary methods. The State Department referred the case to Embassador Clayton and he brought it to the attention of the Mexican Government and pressed it so vigorously that he is now able to report that the conspirators bhave been obliged to disgorge all of the money and securities they had obtained by their operations.

GOVERNS ALL MISSIONS. The deliberations of this body, embrac- ES OME, July 2.—Cardinal Gotti, Prefect of the Sacred Congrega- tion of Bishops and Regulars and Regular Discipline, was to- day appointed Prefect of the Propaganda to succeed the late Cardinal Ledochowski. Cardinal Agliardi was appointed Pre- fect of the Economy of the Congregation of the Propaganda in place of Cardinal Vincente Vannutelll. Cardinal Vannutelli will replace Cardinal Gotti as Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Discipline. The appointment of Cardinal Gottl to succeed the late Cardinal Ledochowskl in the most important post in the gift of the Pope is universally regarded as in- dicating the Pontiff’s personal wishes as to the personality of his successor. Car- dinal Gotti has iong been considered the most likely of the Cardinals for the suc- cession to the papal throne. Cardinal Girolamo Maria Gotti was cre- ated Prefect of the Congregation of Bish- ops and Regulars of the Roman Catholic church in 1895. He is an Italian and was born in 1834 COMMISSION OF CARDINALS. The Propaganda, or, in eccleslastical Ehraseology. the Sacred Congregation de ropaganda Fide, to the directorship of + ing a great varlety of important ques- tions, when formulated in decrees and signed by the Cardinal Prefect and the Secretary, were declared by Pope Urban VIII in 1634 to have the force of apostolic constitutions, which should be inviolably observed. The Cardinal Prefect is the head of the Congregatign and as such governs the Catholic missions of the world. The more important acts of the Congregation, which are discussed in weekly meetings | by the Cardinal Prefect and his associ- | ates, are submitted to the Pope for his | decision. The primary purpose of the Propaganda is to secure laborious and plous mission- aries, and for the education of these many colleges have been established.
