battle is imminent.
This, "however, may refer Ulo the op-

Orders have been reeeivd at Cape

The Boer forces in the neighborhood

NEW YORK, BARCII 31.-Tlve Finan-
cier says:
New York banks made an exceptionally
good showing for the w-ek ending March
31,, surplus reserves having risen $4,078,-
4U0, or to 19,836,15. The gain was entirely
in the form, oi cash, as Loth loans ujui de-
posits expended tor the first tim« In u
numiber of years. The increase in loans
amounted to $;i.280,JKX>—a very moderate
advance when, the activity in the stock
market is taken Into conslderatioa This
Increase, coupled with the addition of $5,-
9..43.JJU0 to the banks receipts of cask,
account for the rise of $7,7U).ai>i in deposi.s
and as the latter ln> turn called for an
additional reserve of almost two millions,
the exoess reserve does not show as
heavy an advance as would have 'been the
case otherwise. The .statement is much
more favorable than had been anticipated
but it is rather d.fficult to trace the or-
igin of the heavy receipts of cash. It
is known that the banks received some-
thing like one and onie half millions from
the treasury, but the interior receipt*
were not so heavy. One million In gold
came from Cuba during 'the. week, but
this does not figure to the full extent In
the statement. One teature of the state-
ment that 1b worthy of attention is the
gain of 1*76,800 in national bank net bank
circulation, the total issues of notes
standing at present at $20,l.>j.600. This does drummor boy,"
not represent the total of applications
made, and it is antlc.pated that Increa

LONDON MARCH 24.—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)—An officer pres-
ent at Spion Kop writes in toady such a
scathing description of the tactics em-
ployed in this light that tho editorial
columns of the Post says:
Napoleon's bitter coimentary comes tc
mli.d: "Lions led by asses; and it is not
the asses who pay tho toll."
The officer writing tne account says In
part:
"I repeat that it Is impossible to hopo
for tho first glimmer of success until a
man of ability is placed in command and
until tho minor leaders are men of at
least ordinary intelligence and vigor.
"I do not pofess to know for what spec-
ial qualities tho leaders have hitherto
been chosen, but nearly all are men. well
known throughout the army ifor inca-
pacity, whose very names excite derision
among ail who have served under them.
"i refer not to regimental officers, (of
whom 1 wish to speak with much re-
spect) who have little opportunity of In-
fluencing tho minor actions of a tattle,
but to tho« eelected officers who are
either advisors or commanders.
"Some of these have proved themselves
to 'be equal to their reputations, some
of thero have astonished even those who I
knew them best for their utter lack of
common sense, for weakness In difficul-
ties, and even for inability to put in prac-
tice the elementary rules of war that all
soldiers have learned in the lower grades
of the service. This last failure strikes
one moro when wo consider that they
have all, or nearly all, received a high
military education at the staff college,
many of them have been lecturers and
professors.
"I am far from condemning military
science. I believe it to bo almost im
possible to find a general or a staff officer
capable of performing his duties who h.ts
not given years of study uaJd thought to
his profession. Talkers andi writers,
however, are rarely men of action, and
men who are admirable in office, or as
teachers, fall utterly whom confronted
with the harsh realities of the battlefield.
The 'dead shot' who can put out a can-
dle at twenty yards takes a wild nim
when confronted with an antagonist at
fifteen paces.
"There Is only one re-medy for this state
of affairs. All generals who have proved
their Inefficiency, and they are as plenti-
ful as tho ant-heaps which cover th«
South African plains, should be at once
re-called; the necessities of the country
demand it. There is no difficulty in dis-
covering thorn, they are known to every
one, from the goneral-ln-chief to the
Llf« and Health of Gemi.
When we see a diamond sparkling on
tho finger or an opal apparently smol-
dering In its setting, wo think of the
beautiful objects as being lifeless
atones. As a matter of fact, scientists
now assuro us that jewels have a sort
of life. Opals and pearls, rubies and
turquoise lose color and grow dull
when worn by the sick,and pearls must
receive careful handling or they lose
color and brilliancy and finally die.
Gems, like books, aro aald to breathe-
that is, the air penetrates them, carry-
ing with It emanations from the body.
If the hand on which the Jewel i« worn
gives off an unhealthy vapor, then the
Jewel will receive its proportion and be
injured thereby. For this reason it is
wise to occasionally put your Jeweled
ring or pin away for a rest, and in or-
der that It may have a chance to pur-
ify. It has often been demonstrated
that a gem gains in brlllianoy by be-
ing put away in a case for awhile.
