England's mule mystery in Boer war supply quandary
The Roosevelt inquiry into a British mule camp near New Orleans uncovers massive wartime shipments to South Africa. Some 200,000 horses and mules were sent last year, with Britain spending about 85 million dollars on equines since the war began. Despite this, Kitchener seeks more and decries quality. The piece questions horse immortality and Boer tactics, noting mobility of Basuto ponies and recurring shortages. In Manila, General Jacob H. Smith faces a court martial for conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, with trial set to begin Thursday.
