The military genius who has been dl- rcitlng thn Doer forces In South Africa , and uho has inlllcted blow after blow upon lirlt- lsi | arms , Is an American army olllccr , a praduate of W .t 1'olnt , schooled In many n campaign agalnbt the Apaches and In diana of the touthwest. Military experts in this country who have v , a tolled closely the operations in Natal bor ders ielates the Philadelphia Times , have recognized In the tactics dlsplajcd by the lluors a duplication of the Indian style ot warfare und huve surmised that BOIIIO one familiar with campaigns In the west has been artvlBlng or directing the ttturdy Hoera. Lieutenant John V. Klllmoro lllnlvc , U. S. A icccutly reulBiied , a long-limbed , bturdv roil of ArkunHua , is the American olllccr who hab beou winning battles for the Doers.

Ono day you will lead that the British foKiii attacked n htiongly en trenched IJoer position from which the Dutchmen wcio compelled to retire. Somo- llincb you will nee the phrase used , "tho enemy had vanlshod completely. " And then the next day you will read about how the 1'ngllflh troops had pressed on , had unex pectedly stumbled upon the Doers In even greater force , ojcupvlnR almost Impregnable positions , and the Hngltsh had gallantly made assault and had been repulsed with great loca. Aimohr Trlfl.N. It's thu old Apache trick over again. The vUly Indians of the southwest jears ago , when thcra wat > trouble with the United Stales army , had a favorite custom of send ing out u small detachment of braves. These v , on hi await thu coming of thu ravalrvmen. Tl'crti would lita llttlo fight , the Indians would turn , apparently panlc-btrlcKcn , and head dliectly for fcomo spot where ten tlmta their numbers would bo secreted. The cav- ah > men , until they had been taught man ) a Icfum , wouH jmrsuii until a sudden volley and a few scoru empty saddles told them that they had been , not ambushed , exactly , hut led Into a horrible , trap. That la ex actly what the Iloeia have done.

Bavv that ho had'gilt no less than ability to plan and ho accepted him prompt ) ) . Several tlmea he was cent for by General Joubcrt , who acted ou the American's advice. That foreign military experts have guos e < l tl'o truth from the African cam paign la shown by the following , written by tha military expert of the London Mall The expert IB not on the scene , but In Lon don Ho snvg "Tho man who has made the most com- plcto Btudy of the American civil war , trav eling all over tbo battlefields , studying all the ground of the campaigns , converging vail nil the burvhora on both ftllw of the grtat contemn , tmidjlng all the Innumerable iiu'trolrtJ written by tlios.o who took part In It , comparing the different maps and plans the man , In fact , who knows all the de- ttilli , as well as all the principles of th.it vvni an fond , Is Lieutenant Colonel Homler-son , up to the moment of his appointment pro- fetbor of military history at the Staff col lege. Ho Is also the author of the volume from which I quoted the other day , these principled of Stonewall Jackson's , which beemed to mo to have been In practice BO admirably applied on the Doer Bide , to strongly lacking on ours. "That fact has acquired a frrsh dlgnlfl- canco from an Incident In the life of Jou bcrt , which has since been iccordcd , of which I was unaware at the time that 1 wrote. It haa been stated nnd la , I bulleve , true , though I cannot myself vouch for the fact , that In his jounger dajs Joubeit Btrved under Stonewall Jackson OH a volun teer throughout his great campaigns. If so , that would account foi the fact that 1 thought I detected a hand that had been trained in porno such school In the manage ment of the Boer forces , Not knowing of Joubert's antecedents I was Inclined to put this down to some Krench or German hand. If Joubert , In fact , served In the Slienandoah \allej and other campaigns under Jackson It is quite certain that ho would from that time on have been a clcso student of the methods of that great commander. No man of to much Intolllgenco who hail had that oMicileilca could bo other. "I should bay that under those circum stances ho would be. knowing his own pco- Iplo and his own country us he docs , a much I n'oro effective commander-in-chlcf for this | war than any Trench or German olucei , tlough ns to many points he would no doubt hivu been glad unough to have thulr as- tlbtnnce I have- not at this moment the ami ) list at hand , and 1 may bo mlBUl.cn , but I am nearly sum that Lieutenant Col onel Henderson has never served under Loid Roberts before , though ho has under Lord WMsuley , who much appreciates hla knowl edge and capacity. When , then. 1 llnd Lord Roberts appointing to ono of the most im portant positions on his headquarters staff 'an ' officer personally little known to him , wlioso special quullllcatton lies in his gen eral knowledge of the experience of the past of war nnd his special knowledge of the American civil war , wlili an oven more inti mate knowlcdso of the particular carter of Stonewall Jackson. I cannot help regarding It as a very falgnlllcaut ilriumMam e I pven think It a decisive pionunclaraonto on the thi U I put forward some time ago that what is wanted In this campaign oven morn than.
