LONDON, May 10. Tho secretary of Btato
for India, Lord (leorgo Hamilton, lias
grnntod tho Asfoclated Prewt permlt-nlon to
Inspect the unpublished otllclal corresix)nd
ence received up to dato in his department
fleallng with the Indian famine. Tho mahs of
reports that came in by tho lam mall show
that the efforts to nlay tho onward march of
tho devnhtiillng evils that threaten to sap
thii life of India almost bailies condensation.
Vet now anil again (hero Is revealed by
reason of tho very strength of tcrno verbiage
nnd ofnclal reticence a wealth of pathos and
vorld Hiirferlng which columns of vivid de
scription could scarcely convey. What, for
Instance, could better tell tho tale of sor
row than tho following report of tho com
missioner of Kherwera, In Itajnpootana?
With carerul regard for tho regulations gov
erning communications, he abruptly com
mences: "Kherwera--Crop-l,rnctlcally nil. Water
Hardly any. Cattle All dead. Fodder
Nil. People- -Thriftless claw dead. People
with small means iit'end of their rehourcos
rihI either on relief works or dying. Crime
Abnormal."
With a pathetic frnuUnet-H found In few of
these gruesome documentH he continues:
i hnvn irlpd to keen tho Kherwera
bazaar open to all. but as I havo only K.000
rupees. lent me by tho merwar nt lunar
-.villi wliinli to nurchaso gralu I liavo iiiIb-
orably failed and hundreds corao to mo
dally for permission to buy and navo to ue
refused."
From all tho commliioners of the native
statej thenamo cry goes up. There the dis
tress and KUlTcrlng aro more tsovcro than In
nny other iwirt of India, yet the native
tatcH, by virtue of the constitution, urc
dependant on tho British relief syntem and
ore not entitled to n nharo of government
charity, hh they pay no taxes for Imperial
Biipport. However. Sir Charles Barnard,
head of the India olllce bureau of revenue,
tells the proru that the Britih are advanc
ing to the static loaim wherever feasible
nnd fiayt they will come In for their full
hharo of tho relief sent from the United
St.lUH.

From those coinmlfsloners of native utatos
who aro only able to mlvlxe lustend of

of 1SC.00O, tells him that only 1 IS persona

The American community at Capetown dis
played great satisfaction at the nown of the
relief and tho prospects of a speedy termi
nation of tho war.
MnUo-l of llcllcf Column,
The latest news rectlved at Capetown from
the relief column, which left Kltnberley se
cretly, shows It paused tho TaunKsesburgh
district without encountering the enemy. It
was l.fino strong and composed of ('ape po
lice, Diamond Fields horse. Imperial yeo
manry and the Kltnberley mounted regiment,
with three Maxims. The force reached the
.Marltan liver, twenty miles nouth of Mafe
klng. May 11. The baggage was conveyed
on lixl horses and light mule wagons. Quan
tities of live stock were captured. Tho most
Intense excitement prevails at Capetown,
where the ImllilliipH are abliue with (lags.
Colonel T. H. Mahnn, who, It Is understood,
commanded the relief column, served In the
Dongola and Nile expeditions with (leneral
Kitchener.
One of the mo3t curlotiH processions of the
day was formed by some hundreds of South
Kensington art students of both sexes,
headed by a mounted khakl-ctad comrade.
Tho girls wore their studio smocks and
reaped a golden hnrrtnt along the route of
the parade for l,4dy Oeorglanna Curzon's
Mnfeklng fund. In the midst of the preces
sion was a great model of Colonel Baden
Powell mounted on a car and guarded by tho
model of a lion. The students indulged In
a mild demonstration In front of tho resi
dence occupied by Colonel Badun-l'owell's
mother.

"Th" queen received on Friday nlghl with

the news of the relief of Mafeking after a

Press dispatch from Pretoria that It Is tho

more, which were taken by Lady Roberts.
Regarding Oeneral Buller and his supplies

to some wine merchants to send out fifty
casiw of champagne marked "castor oil."
About tho tlmo tho wlno was duo Buller

The Highland people aro wondering hugely

Is using In tho erection of his addition to
Sklbo castle. Theso Sleepy Hollowers havo
never before seen a building so done. All
comei from Pittsburg. Sklbo Is now locally
dubbed "Iron Castle." It Is said a mason
mistook tho millionaire for some poor vis
itor and patronized him. On learning his
Identity he excused himself, saying ho ought
to wear better clothes so that "people may
bo ahle to tell who you are." The Tailor, a
newspaper, evidently agrees with tho mason,
for In a sartorial crltlcldm of tho clothes
represented nt this year's academy, It de
clares the lapels of Air. Carnegie's coat were
clumsy, tho edges very wobbly and had been
forced through a machine of tho worst char

him asking him If he had anything to say
In reply to tho Kxpress, whereupon Mr.

that nothing moro serious could come up
