tho lioors tho belief Ih sprcadlnj; that tho

end tho war. Tho Hocrs might now accept

model. Hut even Midi a settlement, my
Informants say, would not now be llnal, bo
causo tho race hntrel Is Ineradicable. The
Dutch never would bo content under British
rule.
Such la the opinion of KngHshmcn who
have studied the conditions on tho spot.
Two of tho loadlnj; war correspondents who
havo Just returned wero talkiiiR ubout tho
outlook last night at tho Literary club,
Hcth agreed that tho lirltlsli position Is
hopolesn as far w regards pacification of
tho colonics through u policy of uncondi

that the Doers might bis reduced to' subjec

db regards tho perils of tho military situa

of tho Dutch majority In Capo Colony and
Natal. Martial law for these colonies Is
now demanded as tho only safeguard
against rebellion. Hut tho Dutch don't
contemplate rebellion until there Is some
reasonable prospect of success. With 200,

Drltlsh government unhampered by Euro

drawing of his offer to remain commander-in-chief
of her majesty's forceB until Lord
Roberts should return was tho decision of
tho cabinet to appoint Lord Kitchener
commander-ln-chlcf In South Africa. In
this respect Lord Wolscley Is In agree
ment with Lord Roberts. Doth regard
Oencral Lyttleton thu best man for that
command. Lord Roberts Is returning In
anything but a satisfied frame of mind, as
tho government and tho criticisms of the
ministerial press betray anxiety to get him
homo chlelly to mako way for Lord Kitch

Lord Kltcbenor's unpopularity with the

The enthusiasm In tho Delglan towns
through which Mr. Kruger passed rivaled
that shown In the towns of France. At

address expressing sympathy with the Doer
cause and promising Mr. Krugor as mag
nificent a reception In Belgium, If he should
stay there, as had becu given him In

tumultously demonstrative. Its members
sang tho Doer hymn while awaiting tho
arrival of tho train and when tho latter
was signaled the people broko down the
barriers nnd rushed upon the platforms.
Tho gendarmes, with fixed bayonets, tried
to force them back, but tho crowd swept
them asldo and massed around Mr.
Krugcr's saloon car, raising deafening
shouts of "Vivo Krugor!" "Vive les Hocrs'"
and "Vivo Arbitration!" Mr. Krugor spake
a few words of thanks.
As tho train was starting cries wero heard
of "Down with tho English!" wheroupon
tho curtains of tho saloon car were quickly
drawn, though before the train left the
station Mr. Kruger reappeared at tho win
dow and waved his hand. A croup of stu

crowd, shouting "Down with the English!"
"Down with Chamberlain!" Thcso cries
were redoubled when the consul, with his

Parliament not being In session, tho pub
lic Is not favored with any Insight Into tho
War ofllco opinions nnd plans. Hut It Is
credited with varying Ideas from philosophic
IndlfTereuco to acute panic. A representa
tive of the Associated Press Interviewed ono
of tho responsible heads of departments
and elicited tho following v.owb:
"Undoubtedly tbo situation In South
Africa Is serious. It resembles In many
ways America's trouble with tho Filipinos.
Wo cannot expect to crush out opposition
for somo tlmo to como. Wo aro not with
drawing troops Indiscriminately, nor are
wo Indifferent to tho gravity of the problem.
Tho IloiiBohold cavalry has como becauso
heavy cavalry Is practically useless. Tho
Infantry, too, Is of comparatively small
sorvlco. Wo rely upon two things to bring
about peaco. First, tho transportation, so
far as possible, of all tho Hrltlsh troops In
the disturbed districts Into mobllo cavalry
and mounted Infantry. Second, through tho
establishment of n force of police. Until
tho latter gets Into working order tho cav
alry will not be able to accomplish much.
Tho pollco forco tbould bo similar to tho
Irish constabulary, only tho mon will be
mounted. When that body Is organized I
bellove a chango will soon como over the
situation."
Canndlavn Not Surprised.
Tho Canadian officers who returned hero
from South Africa this week expressed no
surprise at tho ronewul of Doer successes.
Thoy only wondered that they had not bcon
greater. The Canadians, however, aro unani
mous in expressing tho belief that Gen
eral Kitchener Is tho right man to deal with
tho form of opposition now faced by the
Hrltlsh In South Africa. Hardly any of tho
returning officers exprcssod criticism of
Lord Roberts, even In tho faco of tho recent
roverses. Tho general feeling toward the
field marshal Is well put by the Sun of this
city. It says:
"Lord Roberts Is a brilliant, dashing sol
dier and has dlsplayod consummate ability.
Hut, after all, we fear he Is too much of a
humanitarian for tho work now to bo done.
Onco Kltchoner gets to work on the Boers,
nothing will stop him."
There Is a notlccablo Incursion of Fili
pinos into London and Paris. Tho report,
subsequently denied, that Agonclllo, Agul
naldo'H agent In Europe, was contemplating
going to Hong Kong to reorganize there the
Filipino transport and resupply the Fili
pinos with munitions of war, has given rlso
to tho belief that the Filipinos In Europe
aro contemplating a new campaign. A re
porter of tho Associated Press has Inter
viewed one of the most prominent members
of tho European Junto, who has Just re
turned from Paris and Madrid. He said:
"We are planning no new campaign. Thero
Is no reason why Agonclllo should go to
Hong Kong to glvo the Filipinos a further
supply of munitions of war. Tho fact that
Agonclllo has Just leased a homo In Paris
shows he Intends to remain there nnd watch
evonts. The reports of our committees at
Kobe, Yokohama, Macao, Batavla, Hon
Kong and Bangkok show thoy are all work
ing well. This Is bIbo evidenced by tho fact
that 10,000 rifles were smuggled Into Manila
lost month. The war Is no nearer an end
than over. Tho Flllpno resources are still
great, as can bo Judged by the fact that
Agulnaldo Is continuing to keep and feed
3,000 Spanish prisoners.
Election a Disappointment.
"We aro deeply disappointed at the re
elestlon of Mr. McKlnley. Although our
agents In the United States never lod us to
balleve Mr. Dryan would actively help ub,
yet we rolled on tho strength of tho nntl
lmporlallsts In tho United States. Wo ara
still anlous to come to an understanding
and thero nre Indications that Mr. McKlnley
favors a compromise. It Is clear that Judge
Taft goos beyond his Instructions nnd that
Mr. McKlnloy Is prepared to glvo greater
concessions than Judjte Taft. It Is true that
a largo number of Filipinos are flocking to
European countries. At least sixty aro now
In London, but not with the Idea of a re
newed propaganda. The Junta Is content
to await until the Americans aro tired of
losing officers and men by deaths from sick
ness. We hopo and believe better times
aro In store."
Sir TbomnB Upton recently has been con
sidering tho proposal to send Shamrock II

PARIS, Dec. 1. (Now York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Oscar Wlldo
died yesterday from tho after effects of a
gravo surgical operation two months ngo,
though his friends prefer to say from cere
bral meningitis. His end occurred at the
Hotel Alsace, a shabby but respectable re
sort In tho heart of tho Latin quarter.
Five days ngo Wlldo becamo Intermit
tently delirious, llo realized the uud was
coming and called a priest. Ho solemnly
embraced tho Roman Catholic faith and
received tho last sacraments, after which
ho was less fretful, nnd expressed satis
faction that his "sinful life had been for
given and ho was going to find eternal rest
In heaven."
Two days ago Wlldo lost consciousness,
only speaking again flvo minutes before
his last gasp. Ho was then delirious mid
weeping, llo rolled: "Constnnco, don't
got Don't abandon mo. You nro ull I havo
left In tho world."
Constance was his wlfo and died of a
broken heart In April, 18U8, at Nervl, Italy,
having novcr recovered from tho disgrace
of her husband's trial. Later tho poet
ruvlugly Implored forgiveness of his two
children, whom ho was never allowed to
see slnco ho was nut of prison.
Death camo at 2;30 o'clock and was pa'n
lcss Only two friends wero present, one
being Robert Robs, a lifelong friend of
Mrs, Wilde, to whom sho entrusted the
caro of her husband on her deathbed, It
was Ross to whom Oscar Wlldo had dedi
cated his last play of Importance, "Being
In Earnest," which public opinion compelled
Gccrgo Alexander to withdraw at tho time
of tho author's sensational arrest, as n
result of evidence given by tho marquis
of Qucensbury In tho courso of tbo libel
suit. Ross remained faithful through tho
foulest weather till tho dying day. Ho
paid tho bills nnd malutnlncd some de
cency In Oscar's growing slovenliness.
Slnco his release Wlldo has mado Paris
his headquarters. Hn also went to Italy
twlco to try for n reconciliation with his
wife, who, though sho pitied him, was nl
ways horrified at tho moro mention of him
nnd steadfastly declined further acquain
tance Through her, however, tho poet
enjoyed a llttlo Income of 150, which
kept him from starvation. In Paris Wlldo
retained somo standing along litterateurs,
who always received him with pleasure
for tho sako of his past work and still
fascinating conversation. Wilde know
French as well ns English nnd often re
ceived offors to contribute to French pub
lications. Figaro wanted a weekly article.
Tho Rovuo Blanche and Mcrcuro do France,
both consldorablo monthlies, begged him
to accept tho department of criticism, but
Wlldo used to say: "My career Is ended.
My brnln Is absolutely withorcd In tho
furnaco I wont through."
Ho never wroto anything since his re
lease savo a ballad on Reading Jail. He
had becomo n crank on the subject of pr's 'n
roform and was constantly buying the moat
recent publications upon the subject. Ho
spent a great doal of tlmo In appealing to
tbo French authorities to correct n buses
visited prisoners, buying them food and
books. As a result his court In tho llttlo
cafo whoro ho spent all bis evenings d"s
coursing on his whim of social phllojophy
contained as many discharged Jail birds,
grateful for past favors, as poets and art
ists. Somo time ago Wlldo honorably re
jected an offer of marriage from beautiful
Eugeno Asmlcr, a wealthy young widow,
who boldly proclaimed her tntenso admira
tion everywhere. This affair created a
still unforgotten sensation.
Wlldo will bo burled from tho historical
church of St. Germain des Pres on Monday.
Over twonty friends In England havo tela
graphed to Ross that they aro coming to
attend the funeral.

ECZEMA'S
ITCH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coining hi contact with the
skin and producing irreat redness and in-
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which (
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is ,
hard, dry aud fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, '
and the itching and burning at times are
ainiosi unoearaDie; tue acid burning 1
humor seem to ooze out and set the skin ,
on fire. Salves, washes nor other ester- !
nal applications do any real good, for as
jon as tue poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated,
