Tlie dispute ) over the boundary of Vene zuela and British Guiana 1ms the advantage , at least , of calling attention to a region that Is llttlo known to the civilized world , ex cept through vague and Indefinite reports of travelers and adventurers , although the country Is one of the oldest , historically , on this hemisphere , says a special correspond ent In the Philadelphia Times. The Dutch settled It In the early days , In defiance of the pope and the Spaniards , but It came under English rule In 1814 , which changed the general scheme of government , adopted by the Dutch Trading company. The gov ernor la appointed by the crown , and he Is practically the ruler of the colony , as ho holds the controlling power In the court of policy. The court Is composed of six teen persons , one-half of whom ore appointed by the crown , through the governor , and the other half by the electorate. The elector al franchise Is so restricted by a property qualification that the rule Is lodged Into the hands of a few Englishmen , who are nat urally In sympathy with the governor. The elected members of the court practically have to be the owners of $10,000 worth of real estate , and the , large planters thus have the legislation placed , lnto their own hands and well beyond the roach of the native poorer colonists. Qulana hi practically a country of Immense landed estates. The sugar Interests are supreme premo hero , and these are owned by about a dozen wealthy planters , not moro than three of whom are actual colonists. Their resi dence Is abroad , but their money and Inter ests are In .Guiana. They control legis lation throiigh their agents and factors , nnd betides owning most of the valuable t > ugar lands , they have > a firm grasp upon the chief business Interests In .Georgetown. There are three things that are valuable In Guiana- one Is sugar , another Is gold , which Is Just be ginning to be Icoited and mlnoJ , and the third coolie : ) , The coolies arc practically slaves to their English masters , although It Is offensive to the English public sense to designate them as ouch. The planters , both resident and ab- sert , have done all In their .power to obtain absolute conttol ovef the lives of their slaves , and the English government has granted them liberties enough to make the system llttlo better than that which obtained In our southern states prior to the rebellion. The coolies are In many Instances worked and treated as If they were as many pack-hoises. They are bound to-their masters for five years , and receivefood and clothing and wages and never ' exceed a shilling a day. During thlsi b'ondags he Is worked un scrupulously and subjected to numerous and petty fines , which largely eat up his wages. His only appeal Isitd the English local courts , which ore moro npt > to take sides with the wealthy planters ( tlinn , with the coolies. At the end of five years the coolie can"choose another master ; 6 ? "renew his bondage with the first for d serfend term of five years. At the end of ttnlycars ho Is returned to his native place a/reo man. The coolie system thus borders toclcsgly upon the slave system that It would bo hard to exempt , one" from general condemnation and curse the other as a moral blight 'uporl civilization. The Interior .of ; British Guiana Is wholly unsettled , nnd j > andp of native South Amer ican Indians rqam river H ab freely as th'ey" did when' Columbus first discovered- ! the western hemisphere. While the 'topography of the country is. fairly wall known through the * work of English surveyors. Its wonder ful rerjources have never been measured nor approximately estimated. There Is a genI I eial belief that untold mineral wealth exists In this region. Gold mining camps have bsn located on the disputed territory for many years , but It Is a mistake to say that these are settlers. They are only shifting , tem porary mining camps , with no settled habita tion or acquired property worth anything. Some settlements have been made along the river banks , but not more than 150 miles from the coast , and these are reached by small steamboats which regularly ply up and down the stream. Along the. river the soil Is rich and alluvial , yielding wonderful trop ical products and making a scenery that Is grand and Imposing. The trees are magnifi cent In their size and beauty , and enormous forests of them extend many miles back Into the country. Including In their list of valuable growths mahogany , Iron-wood , log- wcod , llgnum-vltao and dyc-wooas. In time these forests w'll ' prove of Inestimable value to England nnd the whole civilized world. The gold mines are still practically unde- velop-d. The disputed region In which they ara located was not thought to be of much ] value for many years , but wandering bands of miners have In latj ye-jrs unearthed ome rich findj. The gold fever has .struck the English adventurers In Guiana and Vene zuela as heavily as It did the American ? In early California days , and considerable numbers ar ? flocking to the unsettled terri tory. The real value of these mines will never bs determined until scientific methods and modern machinery are employed to un earth the treasjras. At preMiit very little capital has sought this region no an Invest ment In mining machinery , largely beeauw tin territory was a disputed ono. If England should obtain the absolute right ever It Eng lish capltil would undoubtedly pour into the country and develop the mineral rojouices rapidly. Tlio climate of Guiana Is nt by any mcarn agieeable , Georgetown Is within six degrees of the equator , end the mecury generally lingers around 90 and 100 degrees. The land la also low and marehy In places , so that fevers are prevalent at all seasons of this year , and \iluto man cannot live there unless ho takes extreme precaution to ob serve certain essential rules. Negroes , on iho contrary , can live anywhere , and break thu health rules laid down for the whites. Yellow fever Is an animal plague In George town , but the negro population gives llttlo thought to It , and It Is uncommon to hear of one of their number taking It. The ccollcs , who compose about one-third of thu population , are more susceptible to the poor climate than the negroes , but are much hardier than the whites. The coolies are A lighter and more slender race than the negroes , but they are Industrious and nio.l- crately faithful worker * , while the negroes are lazy and Indolent. The real hard nnd difficult wotk In the fields that requires1 muscle Is performed by the negroes , but the steady , continuous light work Is allotted to the coolies. The two races are naturally hostile , more so than that existing between the Europeans nnd the natives. The coollo girls and women have features as finely chiseled as those of an Imaginative Diana. The features are straight and per fect , the eyes beautiful nnd gentle , their forms rather below the medium , their hair jet black nnd fine as silk , and , as they parade the streets , they are dressed In many yards of soft , filmy material that Is woum giacefully around their forms. Htrh colors and eastern figures make the cloth strangely oriental and fantastic. Arms , ankles an , figures arc heavily weighed with sliver am gold ornaments. A coolie's wife Is his bank and when ho receives gold and silver coin fn payment for his services , he beats It down Into personal trinkets , which his wife wears. These trinkets are Jealously guarded and constitute the cat > h wealth of the family. No man dare touch them on a we man , for It would be as much as his life- Is worth to do It. The result of this Is that every Hast Indian woman Is weighted down by gold nnd sliver ornaments , that glvo her a fantastic , appearance. IIHTIIIKMKM'S I\ THE A11.MY. Olllcern Who Will tic Split < o I'rUnte Iilfc Durlnp : ( lie Yenr. There will bo a number of Important re tirements for ago In the army during 1S06 , writes the Washington correspondent of the New York Times. ( Among thtso retirements ra those of eight staff officers of high rank , which means that there will bo that number of attractive commissions awaiting lint officers of lesser grades. The most Important retirement \ that of the quartermaster general of the army , Brigadier General R. N. Datchelder , who will be transferred from the active list on July 27. . Batchf Idtr Is a New England man and an ardent republican , who took some part In New York nnd New England politics. He was an appointee of President Harrison's , and was promoted over the heads of several senior officers of the quart'r- master's department from the rank of lieu tenant colonel to that of brigadier general. He has held this position slnco Juno , 1S90. There will be a number of candidates for his position , among those mentioned being Colonel C. G. Sawtello , who Is stationed at Governor's Island , and who la the senior assistant quartermaster general ; Colonel M. I. Ludtngton , who Is stationed In Chicago ; Colonel J. M. Moore , who Is In charge of the quartermaster's depot In New York City , and Colonel G. H. Weeks , who Is Batchelder's assistant In the War department. The only other retirement In the quarter master's department during the year will be that of Lieutenant William B. Hughes , who Is transferred from the active list October 13. Hughes Is at present en duty In Baltimore. Both of these retirements will result In the promotion of quartermasters of Junior grades and the creation of two vacan cies In the rank of captain , to which first lieutenants and captains of the line are eli gible. There will be three retirements In the pay corps those of Colonel C. H. Terrell , on February 24 ; Major John B. Kccfer , on April 10 , and Major George F. Robinson , on Au gust 13. Terrell Is the senior officer of the corps next to the 'paymaster general. He Is stationed at San Antonio , Tex. , and was at one time , when a vacancy existed , at the head of the corps , a prominent candidate for the position. Major Keefer Is on duty In the Army building , in Whitehall street , New York City. Major Robinson's station Is In Dsnver , Colo. Terrell's retirement will pro mote two officers of his corps , and with the retirement of the two majors will make three vacancies In the pay corps , which may be filled by President Cleveland by appointment from the line of the army or from civil life. There will be one retirement cf an officer of the adjutant general's department that of Colonel Thomas N. Vincent , on Novem ber 15. Colonel Vincent Is one of the best known army officers , and has been for ma.ny years on duty In the War department. He served on the staff of ScTiofleld until the re tirement 'of "that 'officer , and slnco then has been the principal assistant of Adjutant General Rugglcs. His retirement will pro mote Colonel H. C. Corbln , at preasnt on duty at Govenor's Island , New York , and Major Arthur MacArthur , on duty at San Antonio. Major MacArthur Is a brother of Rev. Dr. MacArthur of New York City , and a son of Judge MacArthur of Washing ton. ton.The The retirement will cause a vacancy In the rank of major , which Is likely to bs filled by the appointment of a captain from the lint. lint.There There will bs two retirements among sub- sIstencD officers during 189G thos ; of Lieu tenant Colonel Thomas Wilson , on June 10 , and Colonel John W. Barrlger err July 0. Colonel Barriger is on duty In the Army bu'Idlng in New York , and Is the chief com missary of subsistence In the Department of the East. His retirement will promote Lieu tenant Colonel W. H. Bell , whose station Is at San Francisco. Colonel Wilson Is Bell's senior , and would bo promoted did he not retire one month before Barrlger. The two retirements will make two vacancies In the tank of captain , to which any captain of the line would be glad to .bs appointed. ' Among the officers there are six colonels of regiments to go upon the retired list during ! 1890. They are : Colonel William H. Penrose , Sixteenth , Infantry , March 10 ; Colonel David S. Gordon , Sixth cavalry , May 23 ; Colonel Dalngerlleld Parker , Eighteenth Infantry , May 23 ; Colonel Henry W. Closson , Fourth artillery , June 6 ; Colonel Richard Lodorj Second artillery , Oc tober 29 , and Colonel James Bid- die , Ninth cavalry , December 11. Ono lloutjnant colonel of the line , R. F. Bernard , Ninth cavalry ( retires October 14. Other re tirements among the line officers are as fol lows : Captain George A. Drew. Third cav alry , March 15 ; Captain James Ullo. Second Infantry , May 29 ; Captain Richard G. Shaw , First artillery , June 29 ; Captain C. P. Ds Rudlo , Second cavalry , August 20 ; Captain J. Fi Munson , Sixth Infantry , November 19 ; Major J. F. Randlott , Ninth cavalry , Decem ber 8. Thesa retirements of line officers makes vacancies In the grade of second lieu tenant , to which graduates of the military academy are eligible. The Interest of army officers and of such civilians as aspire to army appointments IB centered In tha eight staff positions which will be available during the year. Line offi cers are attracted to these places by reason of the more congenial duty which attaches to tlis staff positions. , the better salaries which go with a higher grade , and the greater chances of promotion.

The resignation of IU. Hon. Cecil Hhoilos prime minister of Cnpe Colony , temporarily at least checks the ambition of on ? \\tio sought to bccomo the uncrowned king o South Africa ana rank In history \\lth Lori Cllvo and Warren Hastings as a Ilrltlsh col onlzcr. The career of this man has bojn ono of the most remarkable In history. Ho Is the wonder of the whole diplomatic world a verItable Itablo Napoleon. Unlike other men with national reputation ? Cecil Rhodes Is a master of finance , nu astute diplomat , n great general , hiving wonderfu executive ability , a smart politician and a thorough statesman , The height of Mr niiodcs' ambition Is to have a united Soutl Africa. This move on the part of Ur. C. S Jameson In taking the Urlttah chartered troops Into the Transvaal la but another strategic move cf Rhodes' to accomplish his life's ambition. With the Transvaal annexei to Capo Colony , the rest would bo an easy matter. It would mean the annexation o the Mozambique territory and Ilnally the acquisition of the Orange Free State. Dr. Jameson Is but a tool In the hands o Cecil Rhodes ho never makes a move with out first consulting the .cape's premier , his master. All the power now posi > c3sed by Jameson has been the Vcsult of Mr. Rhodes friendship for him. One word or one dash of the pen from the uncrowned king ant the power and prestige of Jameson would , be a thing of the past. The history of Cecil Rhodes reads llko a fairy story , and Is far more romantic than the tale of "Dick Whlttlngton and Ills Cat , " the thrice lord mayor of London , Mr. Rhodes Is the youngest of four brothers. He was born at Suttlngton , England , July B , 1853. Hla father was a clergyman of the Church of England , having a parish which gave him > nn annual Income of $1,500. During his boyhood days Cecil , as ho was familiarly named , did not show any Indication of the genius that ho Is. It was rather the reverse. At school ho was not ever considered bright. A change came In > hls life when ho was about 15 years old. The boy that was even tually to become the leading power on thf African continent had fallen a prey to that dreaded disease , consumption. His father Rive him the best of care , but ho went from bad to worse. The physicians announced that ho could not live nt the most over six weeks , but advised that ho take a trip to Madeira. This might lengthen Ills life to six months , and posulbly a year. AVhen the doctors made th'ls report ono of ths boy'o lungs was gone and the other In a state of decay. Mr. Rhodes' father communicated to him the statement of the doctors. The boy re plied In a firm tone without a quiver on his face , that If such was the case he would go out to hla elder brother , Herbert Rhodes , at Natal , South Africa. ' "If you can pay my passage , father , " was his remark , "without Impoverishing your self , I think this will be the best. I know that I have been a great expense to you , and for mo to remain at Madeira would be more than your shnder purse could afford. " Second-class passage was secured for young Cecil on cne of the cattle line of steamers bound for Natal. Thla was In the fall of 1869. By the tlmo the steamer had arrived at Natal young Rhodes felt much better. His cough was cone and his one lung was In an Improved condition. The life at the farm with his brother , Her bert , was'ono of Idleness , for It Is the unwrit ten liw In the'Natal colony even to this day Unit It la not fashlcnablo for a white man to work. There ore too many Zulus to do a white man's bidding. In a year after the consumptive boy had arrived on the African Ehore he was as well aa ho had ever been In his life. His brother Herbert oimo to a sad end In 1871. when ho was killed In an elephant hunt. Rhodes felt so well by this time that he decided to go home olid ntcr college. After the funeral of his brother and the closing up of tha eotats. he sailed for hlme. Ho attended Oriel college at Oxford , and matriculated from there. While he was attending college his father died , leaving but little personal property be- : ilnd him. Hngllsh atmosphere did not agree with Rhodes , the old consumptive cownlalnt re- : uined again , and once more 110 started for South Africa. His objective point was Cape Town. The sum total of his wealth , after paying his passage , was $50 In gold. For a ; lmo he passed a hand-to-mouth existence , 'overly started him In tha face. He did not care to become dependent on any person , and so struck out for the Interior. In those days oven a Journey of 300 miles north of Cape Town was considered a dangerous undertak- ng. ng.In 1879 Mr. Rhodes was In Klmberley. His only means of support at that time was the smill fees he received from the diamond llggers for do'ng odd jobs for them. No ona at that time dreamed that that poor fel- ow , Rhodes , would omo day control the wholeof that rich diamond country. But 10 had grit In him. In the words of an Af ricander , who knew Rhodes In those days , 'he never flunked. " This expression of South Africa Is a volume In Itself. As the mines of Klmberley became deeper : hey began to gt In a llobded condition. Several of the mlnera were doing poorly , and when the water came It was still worss fcr hem. Cecil Rhodes then showed Ills remark able Insight. He offered for a certain sum to mmp the mines dry. A contract was given ilm to keep the whole of the diggings clear from water. This was his first great ptart. Yom that moment ho has never known whit t Is to nefd ready money. The wheel of for- unu had come his way and has remained with htm ever since. Some of the mlnera could not pay him. Rhodes took their claims or payment. From one claim to another ho on ml that over ons-Uilnl 'of the diamond mlnoD had come Into his possession , but ho did not have tfie necessary capital to run hem. "I want to go to Parliament , boys , " was IB | remark ono evening In 1883 to sveral of ho miners. His manners at the Klmberley fields had so Impresjsd thenr that they de cided to do what they cculu for his election. Ho was nominated from Iiarkley Won and elected by th ? miners' -vote , having a ma- orlty of only twenty-six votes , Mr. Rhodes Mill remains at the Capo Parliament as the member from Berkley West. His next great oclienu was the consolidation of tbo diamond mines. This wa finally accomplished In 1SS9. On morning Rhodes awoke to1 find hlmt lf amous and the matter of millions. A year afterward he signed a check for $21,000,000 , which was cashed by the Bank of England. Krom the moment that Rhodes mad ? his advent In the Oipo Parliament he became a power , PJcp by stop ho rose In that legls- atlvo body until he bicamo the premier of ha cape. Sir Cecil Is emphatically a strong man. In South Africa they look upon him as their Bismarck. He 1s full of ambitious schemes , of which he makes no secret. He > Is English o the core , and Is a thorough Imperialist , le dreams of a consolidated British empire , embracing the choicest portions of the globe , n this empire ho wants South Africa to ako a leading part. One of his recent pro- ects Is a telegraph line from Cairo to Cape Town , by the way of Zanzibar and the Great Liakes , and already , by means of the war In latabeleland , he Is pushing his plan that ho English shall possess every Inch of soil n ( he southern fcalf of the continent fit for the habitation of white men. Ten years ago at Klmberley , he stood before a map of Africa. Ha placed his hand across the In- erlor up to the mouth of the Congo and the Croat lakes and said : "All that fchall bo English , That Is my dream. " The realization of Ills dream U rendered decidedly remote by the collapse of the Jameson raid on the Transvaal. The belief s quite general that the defeat will ac celerate the founding of a republic In the preseut British possession ! ) .
