"Hidden Mnnna" ny A. J, Dawson.
Published by A. H. llnrnes & Co, New
York. A story based on trnvcla nnd
studies In tho Interior of Morocco. It la
full of Arab phlloaophy. aubmlsalon to
fate, and the curious forms of reasoning
tnken respecting evcry-dny life nnd tho i
phllnsoph) of living that grow In tho
Oriental mind. It represents for tho first
tlmo things and places utterly unknown I
to tho usual traveler and to peoplo who ,
rend tho uaual travelers' booka. It is
unique of Its kind, In that It gets moro I
dicily Into tho Oriental mode of thought I
and llfo than any other so far as that
thought nnd life are represented by pres
ent llfo In .Morocco. And this book gets
Into tho portions of Morocco which aro
less known and which more closely con
form to tho ancient Aiodo of life than do
those portions so commonly written about
as tn be hackneyed. The romantic fea
tures of tho story are well told and In
good vein, with a Moorish love-story of
tho old fashion In It, Tho true spirit of
tho love of adventuro and of the open
country are carried and a I irge numb,r
of tjpes aro represented In the stor Tho
writer has done hla work well and given
tho public an monblc book to read.

of his first notlllcatlon to go out to tho

Ho tells of his advancement gradually
untll he got supremo command of a de
tachment, nnd of hla succeaslve nnd rnpid
promotions, llo glvca llvily accounts of
tho battles nnd maneuvers, theso being
especially full at the beginning, telling of
Nicholson's Nek, the siege of Lnd) smith, .
the overwhelming forces which Iird Rob
erts brought to benr on the west line of i
tho field of operations, tho disastrous
Poardcberg campaign, whelo den. Cronjo l
was captured with his command, and In
which Oen Dewet claims that he opened
a way for (len Cronjo to escapo with his
men and horses, but he would not consent
to abnndon his wngons nnd supplies. On
this point undoubtedly considerable con
troversy will nrlao between him nnd Oen.
Cronjo later on
After the first aucceas of tho Boors nnd
their slego of I,ndj smith, large numbers
of them returned to their homes on lenve, I
but they wero qulcklv recalled on account
of the ltobcrta Invasion Oen. Dewet tells
with much gusto of tho large capturen of
Kngllsh prisoners, nnd generally of tho i
succeaaful operations and the lllng col
umna of tho lloers. Hut tho nngllsh were
too many, and swarmed over the country,
driving the Hoera Into hiding. Gradually
the Kngllsh extended their optrattona,
ovirrunnlng tho Orange Tree Stnto com-
pletcly, cnpturlng Pretoria nnd driving

Much detail la given of Gen, Dowet'-i

his achievements nnd exhibits rnther
alighting views of Oen, tlotha and others
of the Hoer commanders. Tho different
