THE TRIBrXE FRESH AIR Er\D
ITS WORK FOR TENEMENT HOUSE CHIL
DREN SOON* TO BEGIN.
Th- time Is .-spidly approaching for The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund to begin its beneficent work for
the tenement house children. The experience at
many years has shown that the readers of The
Tribune need no urging to do their part toward
giving' the children a fortnight In the country. It
Is only necessary to remind the friends of the
•xork that contributions to the fund are now In
orJer. There is little machinery in the work, so
that ever?.- $.' contributed will insure a fortnight in
the country to a poor child.
Advance ag/ents are already at work In the coun
try stirring :p the country people to offer hospital
ity. As soon as the public schools close the chil
dren will be ready to start. No lack of hospitality
wi" be showj by ■-. country, and it only remains
for the friends of the poor to send in their eontrl-
H-jTi.T.s. The Tribune employs no collectors for the
furid: neither does it get up any entertainments for
;:« twnefi:. Those wishing to aid in the work should
eer.d tneir money directly to The Tribune. It will
be acknowledged in its columns from day to day.

Presbyterian Hospital.
Professor White left the university at 10 o'clock
last night for the Powellton-ave. station of the
Pennsylvania Railroad to board a train for Or
mar.town. a suburb. Shortly before 11 o'clock he
was found in an unfrequented part of Thirty-sec

with an iron bar. He died early this morning at
the hospital without regaining consciousness. It

DISCOURAGEMENT OF THE BOER?.
GENERAL ROBERTS DEMANDS OF THEM
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
London. May 21 — The situation in the field
hae changed but little since Friday. Lord Rob
erta's troops are in fine form and abundantly
supplied. Indications seem to point to an early
movement. His cavalry, riding over several
hundred square mlies in a semi-circle beyond
Kroonstad, have received the submission of
hundreds of Free Staters.
It now appears that the Do Wet who offered
th surrender with one thousand men was not
the well known General De Wet. but Command
ant De Wet. He stipulated that his men should
be allowed to return to their farms. Lord Rob
erta replied that the surrender must be uncon
ditional.
The Botha who was captured the other day
waa Philip Botha. Those surrendering are
solemnly warned that, if they break the oath of
neutrality, their houses will be burned and their
farms confiscated. Such as do yield ask only for
protection.
Reports flow Lord Roberts's headquarters
of the discouragement of the Boers and of their
willingness, even in the case of the Transvaaiers.
to give up. President Steyn is described as
having lost his head several times recently. The
original of the telegram addressed to the
burghers at Ventersburg urging them to hold
out was really written at Petersburg, a place
which surrendered early in March.
President Steyn, who was last reported as
leaving Pretoria after a consultation with the
Transvaal Government, has again gone to the
front.
'The Dally Telegraph" is advised that a plot

LARGE AUDIENCE LISTENS TO SPEECHES
AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, May 20. — A large audience
greeted the Bo»r envoys at the reception to
night at the Grand Opera House under the
auspices of the Congress and Citizens' Commit
tee. Many were unable to gain admittance.
The interior was decorated with the colors of
both the United States and the Transvaal. While
official Washington was not represented In any
manner, there were probably thirty members of
the Senate and the House occupying seats In the
auditorium and on the stage. Speaker Hender
son was in one of the boxes, and others present
were Senators Daniel, of Virginia; Teller. Till

Beers, were made, the speakers including
Messrs. Fischer. Wolmarans and Wessels. the
Boer envoys. Senator "Wellington, Bourke <"ork
raii. of New-Tork. and Mr. Sulzer. The invoca
tion wa3 pronounced by Father Makin, of this
city.
Bourke Cockran, in the course of his remarks,
referred to Canada and its proximity to the
United States. He said he believed as an Eng
lish possession it waa a menace to the main
tenance of the Monroe Doctrine. As a possible
result of this war, he suggested that 'nstead of
the extension of monarchical governments in
South Africa, the consequence might Ue the ex
tension of republican authority over monarchical
governments.
Senator Wellington predicted in Cosing that
no matter what might be the result of the dip
lomatic mission of the envoys, the Onited
States Government couid net long stand in op

CAST OFF BY SPAIX.
TLIGHT OF THE TOLOXTAT. BORN REST
DENTS OF THE PHILIPPINE?.
Manila, April 11.— This Is the last day upon which
Spanish residents of the Philippines may register
their Intention of remaining Spaniards, and the
office In Manila where such declarations are re
oor'ied is crowded with those who have procrasti
nated. Article ix of the Paris Treaty of Peace pro
vided that Spanish residents of former Spanish col
onies should have one year's time in which to de
clare their adhesion to Spain, failing which they
will adopt the nationality of the country where they
reside. Some> twenty-five hundred Spaniards have
registered In Manila, and there are still several
hundred who would like to register, but cannot do
so hecause of a statement in the Peace Treaty.
The Spanish C ommlßslonern in Paris last year
Introduced a clause tn the treaty which practically
amounts to the repudiation of Spanish colonists.
This clause says that Spaniards born in Spain and
residing in her colonies shall have the right to re
main Spanish subjects Consequently, a man born
of Spanish parents in the colonies has no right to
Spanish nationality, and hundreds of Spaniards of
this latter category 'have been denied permission
to remain subjects of Spain, and are to-day Fili
pino*, and nothing more
SAVED M«XET TO THE fROTTN.
This ruling of the Spanish Commissioners that to
he a Spaniard a man must be born in Spain is in
direct contradiction to the Spanish Civil Code,
which says, in Article XVII, Clause 2: "The off
spring of a Spanish father and mother horn outside
of Spain is a Spaniard." Why Spain wanted to re
pudiate Spaniards born in her colonies is hard to
understand, unless It be that by so doing she has
cleared her skirts of a number of future pension
ers, and this interpretation of her action is gener
ally accepted by the Spaniards themselvea.
As an instance, ther» are men in Manila bern of
Spanish parents In Porto Rico, Cuba and out here
who have been long in the Spanish army and Civil
Service. Some of them are drawing pensions; oth
ers would soon do so: but now for these m«;n this
help and hope are gone because t.ley are no longer
Spaniards, but Filipinos. T'nder the Spanish law
a womrn is of the same nationality as her husband;
here a Spanish born woman who has married a
Philippine bom husband is a Filipino and not a
Spaniard. This results in the loss to a good many
Spanish women out here of certain small pensions
from Spain which up to the present time they
have enjoyed. It is asserted that the number of
Government pensioners which Spain gets rid of in
her former colonies by this action is considerable
and that the pearly sum saved to the Crown there
by Is large.
The United States Government has supplied the
printed blanks upon which those Bpaniarda regis
tered their allegiance, and the records have been
made under American supervision. Blanks have
been sent very generally throughout the Island,
but less than fifty hay» been used outside of
Manila.
ATTITUDE OF THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS.
In Manila all the priests have reg!;-tered. like
wise all the Dominican. Recolleto, Franciscan and
Augnstlnian friars: the Jesuits have not registered,
contending that they are without nationality. The
Spanish nuns and Sisters of Charity in and about
Manila have, officially declared their intention of
remaining- Spanish. A large number of coastwise
saiiormen and steamboat officers have made a
sira.iar declaration.
In order that this registration may become bind
ing and legal, it must be reported at the office of
•he Spanish Consul in Manila, These, axe the rec
ords that are to he returned to Spain, while those
taken under American supervision remain on file
here.
Among the colonial Dorn Spaniards who have
been denied Spanish citizenshtp are many promi
nent and some wealthy men. One. whose wife
ard children were all born tn Spain, is about to
take his family from her" to Paris, and he has
asked the United States military authorities if he
and his family, as Filipinos, would be accorded the
protection of the United States, should occasion
arise while they are upon foreign soil.
There are many Spaniards who have failed to
reg:?tpr. and the matter of extendtrig *he time to
do so has been taken up by the proper authorities,
who will soon render a decision.
PROBABLE PRICE OF GAS.
HEAVT CONSUMERS WOTTLD RATHER PAT
MORE AND GET A BEI'TER QUALITY.
Not a single official or important stockholder !n
f the. companies which now belong to the gas
combination could he found yesterday who would
admit that »he price of gas would soon he raised
from the present rate of 65 cents a 'housand eubte.
feet to Jl or n IS; nevertheless, the feeling is wide
spread that -here will he an almost immedia'e ad
vance in the price to consumers, and a substantial
one at that. It is understood 'hat some of the men
who have made the consolidation possible and have
brought the recent gas wir to an end advocate
increasing the price to The full legal limit—*! ns.
Others anrn» that since the legal rate after Jan
uary l. 1901. has been fixed at C. It would be better
to adopt that figure now. bo that no change may
be rieosparv ror me rpxt yi , ar and a na!f Rt leasr
There is a third party, however, which fears
hostile legislation, following the outcry which will
be raised nea:nf»t the combination if the rates are
raised at all. The public w!ll take the position fhnt
if the companies reduced gas to 85 c«, nts o f their
own volition, -hey ought to be cornp»>ii er j to keep
it :her«>. and pressure will be brought upon the
Legislature to carry out the public's wishes. Those
gas experts who take this view of the situation
arc advocating. !t Is said, the making of a conces
sion to public opinion which shall consist of for
bearing to raise the price of gaa to the full legal
limit and chanjjngr only 90 cents a thousand feet.
By this means It is hoped to disarm criticism to a
certain extent.
Another factor which will be relied upon to per
suade consumes that they are not being badly
treated by the combination, even though the price
be raised, is said to consist in a promise that the
quality of the gas will be restored to the standard
which prevailed before the gas war began. Since
the throat cutting process began complaints have
been loud and widespread of the great deterioration
which the gas underwent, both in Its heating and
lighting capacity. Complainants were told that
they were receiving as good gas as could possibly
be expected for G5 cents a thousand, and although
a slight Improvement was observable as the result
of vigorous protests the quality Is to-day far below
what consumers desire. The combination, is is said,
proposes to supply eas. at whatever increased rate
they decide upon, of a better quality than has ever
before been generally sold In this city.
AW ASIA'S PARTY 'FOR THE JSLAXDS.
NATIVES NOT EXPECTED TO AFFILIATE WITH
EITHER REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS.
Honolulu, May 12, via San Francisco, May 20— If
the leaders have any control over the political des
tinies of the natives of the Islands, they will not
for some time to come express affiliation with either
of the great parties. So much was decided by a
number of them at a meeting held secretly. At
this meeting were men Inclined to be Republicans
and »om»- favorable to the Democracy. A majority,
however, favored some sort of Hawaiian alliance,
taking In such whites as were acceptable to their
ideas. The Portuguese were mentioned.
The idpa of the natives is to form an Independent
party. It was remarked that out of '.4.000 votes, the
natives would poll ■■■" Some of these would be
lost to the Republican and Democratic parties, but
with Portuguese and other white allies they would
have a large majority.
With the final assurance of a stable, government
will. It Is predicted, come a financial boom in Hono
lulu, In addition to the Influx of capital that is
expected from the mainland comes word that
President McKlnley has approved a bill lately
pasHeil by the Council of State making available
52.0C0.000. Word has also been received that Secre
tary tJage has announced that within forty-Jive
days th« Washington Government will cmli in the
J4,t00.*0 of bonds assumed by the ITnited States and
pay for thwm. Probably J3.000,000 of those bonds
aro Ivld by the Hawaiian people, and It Is esti
mated that t2.000.0M of them are now in the islands.
AddfU ■.. this th«» plantations will pay their divi
dends in June and Ju!y.
Kamalo plantation and the American Sugar
plantation, both on the Island of Molokal. have
suspended operations. Work on Kamalo has been
■topped on account of lack of funds. The Amer
ican Sugar Company could not develop a pure
water supply, and therefore was compelled to sus
pend what promised to be one si the largest sugar
f.statt-s in the world.
For a time the steamer, freight and passenger
service between the Islands and the coast will be
less conv*ni.-nt than it has been heretofore. Th*
steamships Hying foreign flags will not carry
freight or passengers bet wee;: her* and the coast
after .June 14. in accordance with the Territorial
bill Thrt Canadian-Australian Line Is not affected
as its steamers go to Victoria and Vancouver, and
not to American OOTtS.

Government to erect a telegraph line from a point
on the Canadian Pacific to Dawson City, and just
now he is hore looking after this and other mat

CANADA. He received his military education
at the Royal Military Academy, at
Woolwich, and the Royal Military College, at Sand
hurst, and In 1860 entered the artillery. It does not
seem to be generally known, but General French
saw much service in Canada and British North
America. From 1562 to ISM he was adjutant of the
Royal Artillery, stationed at Kingston. In IS7O he
was appointed lieutenant-colonel and Inspector of
artillery for Canada, and he organized and was the
first commissioner of the Northwestern mounted
police. In the first Riel rebellion General French's
services were extremely valuable. This is the re
bellion that was put down by Sir Garnet Wolseley.
now Lord Wolseley, Commander-ln-Chlef of the
British Army. It was about this time that the
Province of Manitoba was created. Later General
French commanded the mounted police in an ex
pedition sent from the Red River to the Rocky
Mountains by the Canadian Government. It is
largely due to his experiences with the mounted
police In British North America that General
French has been able to give his Government such
splendid and efficient service In South Africa. The
mounted police was an organization similar in
character to the far famed Texas Rangers, and
their mission was to patrol the frontier, where
they afforded protection to the life and property of
the early settlers. They frequently came in fighting
contact with lawless bodies of men of their own
race, but the enemy with whom- they were always
at odds were the Indians, who swarmed through
that unsettled and primeval country-
No craftier, wilier or more deadly enemy has
ever existed. In the opinion of many, than the Ind
ian. More than one great soldier
HE LEARNED has said that the Indians were the
LESSONS finest cavalry the world has ever
FROM THE known. The red man carried on
RED MAN. unrelenting warfare against man
and beast, and in order that he
might successfully do so his forebears began his
training in his babyhood. It continued throughout
his life. In opposition to the cavalry of a wilder
race than his own. General French waged desper
ate combat for years with his mounted police. He
learned every trick of their trade, and many of
them he learned to his regret; but the lesson the
red man taught him In those faraway years on the
lonely Canadian frontier have served him bravely
and well in South Africa. The world has wondered
at the. dash, quickness of execution and uniform
success of General French's cavalry manoeuvres,
but it Is the strategy and knowledge yiat Indian
fighting gave him that he has called to his aid in his
movements against the Boers. It is a far cry from
Manitoba to the Orange Free State, but In this
case it seems to have been successfully made, and
to the sorrow of the Boers. For his services in
Canada General French received a "C. M. G."
'Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of
St. Michael and St. George). At the outbreak of
the Boer war General French was commanding the
New South Wales forces.
