Iu an arid, rocky country, filled with splendid shots, with no real objective mint to capture, with a disaffected or nctivily hostile population on your Hank or reir, the conquest of the Transvaal would lie one of the most arduous mider'.aliings e ever entered upon. In my opinion no less thou 00,000 men would be required. Yotr own Philippine war is not so difficult. Indeed, it is folly to underestimate the military strength of the Transvaal, which proceeds not alone from the material character of the population but also from the, nature of the country itself.

WATKINS OWNS HIS FAULT.

Cnptain of the Paris Take Blame for Its f-truudintc. The report of Captain Wnlkins on the stranding of the American line steamship 1'aris was made public Monday by the

'(ew York board of teainboat inspectors. Captain Watkins makes no attempt to evade responsibility for the accident, but, on the contrary, says frankly that the strauding of the ship was the result ot an unaccountable error on his part. The accident, he

says, wus not due to any want of thought

or anxiety about his vessel, but resulted from a mistake he made in calculating

the position of the ship. The inspectors suspended Captain Wat

kins' license as master of ocean steamers for two years. Captain Watkins is still Iu charge of the Paris and is acting in the interests of the underwriters, to whom the ship was turned over by the American line officials. Cuptain Watkins has followed the sea as his profession

since the year 1851, and has held a Brit

ish master s certificate since the year

1800. and an American master's certifi

cate since the year 1893, in which year

he became an American citizen.

RUMOR OF ALGER'S RETIRING.

Secretary of War Sold to Hnve Pe-

cided to Quit the Cabinet.

Washington dispatches ou Wednesday

asserted that the resignation Of Secretary

of War Russell A. Alger was in the hands of President McKiuley, but that

the fact would not be made public for

some weeks. Several different reasons

arc surmised for this move of Secretary

Alger, the principal one remarked by poli

ticians being the combined action brought

lo bear upon President McKiuley by lead

ing Republicans to ask for tho resignation

of Secretary of War Alger ever since the

formal announcement of the Alger-Piu-

gree alliai.ee and the hitter's denuncia

tion of President McKiuley.

Secretary Alger denied the report that

he is to resign. Whcu told of the rumor

that he had tcmlered his resignation he

said: "I bare received no direct, or indirect intimation :.'rom the President that

he desires me to leave the cabinet.

have noticed no treatment that makes my

position personally or officially uncom

fortable. I have caused 110 third party

to Iearu for me If it would be acceptable

that I retire later on, ami, furthermore,

there is milling tu warrant the assertion

that I am to reure." One reason given by friends of Secre

tary Alger for dating his resignation so

far ahead s that he is anxious to sign the

full report of the war in Congress in December. It is Raid that in the event the President is willing to retain him until

that time. Secretary Alger will go on a

long vacation and the President will con

duct the aflatrs of the office himself.
