UNCLE KRUGER’S REPLY IS NOT AN ACCEPTAnS
Britons Who Are Posted on Affairs See No Way to
Avoid War With the Transvaal Government.
A London cable dispatch says: The
colonial office in confirming the dis
patch from Cape Town, saying the
Trausvaal government had hauded its
reply to the British agent at Pretoria,
says that Mr. Alfred Milner has tele
graphed a message to that effect. All
that the officials of the colonial office
would say in regard to the matter
was:
“The reply is not a complete accept
ance of the proposal of Mr. Chamber
lain.”
There is no longer any doubt that
President Kruger has refused to sub
mit to tbe demand of Mr. Chamber
fain for the appointment of a court of
inquiry. He may have doue so diplo
matically or hedgingly, but that his
answer is regarded by the British gov
ernment as tantamount to positive re
fusal is now an established fact. The
colonial office is normally non-com
mittal, but there are other evidences
which amply justify the statement.
The repiort that President Kruger has
proposed new terms is somewhat veri
fied by the guarded comment of the
colonial officials and the irritability
displayed there.
There is not the slightest doubt that
they now believe that war is the only
way to settle tbe controversy.
The colonial officials would far rather
have a curt, defiant answer than the
temporizing answer which the Boer
president has sent. With the former
Great Britain would have plain
grounds for a quick commencement of
hostilities.
Under the circumstances which it is
believed now exists, aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to jus
tify it in the eyes of the world and the
English majority who still declare that
the war would be an outrage; however,
if Mr. Chamberlain has his way, it is
ELBERTOX’S CARNIVAL OPENER.
Festivities Began With a Speech From
Senator Ben Tillman.
The Elberton, Ga., carnival was
opened Monday morning with a con
cert by Bearden’s band, of Augusta.
At noon the welcome address was
made by Mayor Adams. Hon. J. P.
Shannon tlieu introduced Senator B.
R. Tillman, who made the opening
address. His theme was the elimina
tion of the negro from politics.
After referring to his boyhood days
spent in Elbert county, he launched
into his discussion with his old-time
vigor. The race question was a seri
ous problem and politics should be
freed from it. The disintegration of
the republic was apparent when people
had to buy votes and it cost $5,000 to
go to the legislature. It was time to
call a halt.
He explained the .South Carolina
workings and held up a constitutional
convention as the one thing which
would save the state, white primaries
would do for awhile, but wortld soon
be worse than now.
FOUR WERE BOUND OVER.
WhLtecappers In South Carolina Will Be
Arraigned In Court.
The four men charged with whip
ping negroes in Greenwood, S. C.,
were arraigned before Magistrate Aus
tin for a preliminary hearing Monday
afternoon. They waived a prelimi
nary trial and gave bond in the
sum of SI,OOO each for appearance at
the circuit court. There have been no
further arrests and no more whippings.
Wage Agreement signed.
The Western Anthracite Coal com
pany, of Spadra, Ark., has signed the
district wage agreement with the
United Mine Workers’ and their old
men have resumed work. Other small
operators have also signified their in
tention to sign.
FISHERMEN LOSE LIVES.
Fourteen Drowned Durine Storm Off the
North Carolina Coast.
Sixteen fishermen were camping on
Swan Island, N. C., near the mouth of
the Neuse river, during the recent
storm. The island was overflowed,
compelling them to seek the mainland.
In tJie attempt, all'-of their boats were
capsized except one, drowning four
teen men, consisting of four Smith
and four Salter brothers and six others.
All were married and men of large
families.
The two survivors saved themselves
by cutting away their boat’s mast,
throwing their cargo overboard and
drifting ashore.
SALE NOT CONFIRMED.
Star Thread Mill Transfer Is Postponed
By Judge Bussell. .
A news special from Athens, Ga.,
says: Judge Russell has postponed
action on the'Star Thiead mills sale.
The confirmation of the sale for $56,-
200 seems to be very doubtful, and it
is thought that the sale will not be con
firmed. At the last session of the
court attorneys’ fees were decided up
on, and further action in the matter
was Dostponed.
believed that President Kruger’s coun
ter proposals will meet with scant at
tention and unless the Boers complete
ly back down, which is not likely, the
crisis will quickly develop into war.
It has developed that the war office
has been aware of the nature of the
Transvaal government’s move for sev
eral days, and that it was communi
cated to the war office, hence it is
probable that Great Britain will delay
the denoument as little as possible.
A high colonial official expressed td
a representative of the Associated
Press his disgust at what he termed
“Kruger’s cupidity aud hypocrisy.”
He said:
“The kind of game which Kruger is
playing must be clear to Americans.
The protestations of the Boers that
they wish to live quiet, agricultural
lives may be the tune of some on the
veldt, but the gang in Pretoria is
simply after money. Though Presi
dent Kruger says many harsh things
of the Uitlanders, he never hesitated
to make money out of them, either by
fair or foul means.
“This TrausvaaL question cannot be
judged by recent occurrences. You
must go back fifty years. It has been
hanging fire all that time, aud the
sooner it is settled now, the better.”
Though the official did not actually
say so, it was clear that he believed
war was the only mode of settlement.
It is learned that the government is
somewhat annoyed at the public’s
slight interest in the Transvaal.
The official above quoted said to the
Associated Press representative:
“Dreyfus seems the only thing that
our people think about, though Eng
land is in the most serious crisis. This
indifference is perhaps typical.”
A special dispatch from Cape Town
says there is great dauger of an out
break of violence on the frontier, and
that the scum of South Africa are en
listing throughout the colony and are
being sent to Pitzani and Jameson, on
the border.
COLORADO TOWN DESTROYED.
Being Built of Pine Timber, Buildings
Burned Bike Paper.
Fire has utterly destroyed the busi
ness portion of the city of Victor, Colo
rado, causing a loss estimated at $2,-
000,000.
Beginning shortly after noon Mon
day, the fire raged until evening, con
suming everything in its way. It had
its origin, it is thought, in the Mer
chants’ cafe, adjoining the Bank of
Victor, on the corner of Third street
and Victor avenue.
A strong wind from the south fanned
the flames and in a few minutes all the
surrounding houses were afire. Help
was summoned from Cripple Creek,
but the towu had been built in the
early days of tjje camp and was of pine
timber for the most part and burned
like paper.
Efforts were made to stop the prog
ress of the flames by blowing up
buildings in their path by mer.ns of
dynamite and all tbe afternoon the
hills roared with explosions, but the
effort was in vain.
“INTIMIDATION” CHARGED.
Federation of Railway Employe* Holds
Interesting Meeting at Atlanta, Ga.
The Atlanta Federation of Railway
Employes held an interesting and en
thusiastic meeting in Atlanta, Ga.,
Monday afternoon at which the new
president of the federation, Mr.
Charles Daniel, arraigned the federal
courts for “their notorious unfair
ness” to labor unions, and he de
clared many of them are dominated by
corporate influences.
He also declared that some of the
road officials in Georgia are discrimi
nating against members of the railroad
orders and are trying to intimidate
and prevent their employes from be
longing to the organization represent
ing their class.
OLYMPIA SAILORS ATTACKED.
Men on Dewey’s Flagship Set Upon By a

from Olympia.
Sheriff Sells Cotton Mill.
The Selma, Ala., cotton mill, which
was erected about three years ago by
public subscription, was sold by Sheriff
Lumpkin at auction Monday. It was

mill originally cost $125,000.
MAY HASTEN DECISION.
It Is Said That Report On Carter Cese
Will Soon Be Forthcoming.
A report was current in Washington
Monday which, in the absence of the
attorney general, cannot be confirmed,
that a decision in the Carter court
martial case will be handed down
shortly after Mr. Griggs’ return to the
city, and that he will not await the
return of Wayne McVeagh, Captain
Carter’s counsel, who, it is stated,
would ask for anew trial.

m^^^^^^Kissioued
and
fiit. strong
was
ous and excited anfjSflHnjd to and
| fro as he His
hearers were profoirnM[pimpressed.
The incident eousidtwßy fatigued
him and he sat down flushed and fold
ing his side. He afterward once or
twice nervously twitched his fingers
aud an expression flitted over his face
as though he were suffering.
The first witness called was M.
Grenier, the former prefect of Belfort.
His testimony was favorable to Drey
fus and distinctly hostile to Ester
hazy.
Major- Rollin, of the intelligence
department, was asked by M. Labori
during the course of the former’s
testimony how a certain document of
j a later date than Mercier’s ministry
came into General Mercier’s posses
sion. Mercier said it was not his bus
iness to explain, but counsel insisted,
asking whose business it was. Finally
i M. Labori asked Colonel Jouaust to
i request General Mercier to explain.
: The general arose and said he declined
jto answer. M. Labori insisted, but
Mercier still refused to answer, and
Major Carriere, the governmec'. com
missiary, supported him,ou thf.ground
that the examination was entirely up
on a matter which ought not, in the
interest of the country, to be discuss
ed publicly.
M. Labori then declared in a loud
voice that he would reserve to himself
the right to take the necessary meas
ures to obtain tbe desired information.
The next point was made by Drey
: fus in liis reply to Major Rollin. The
| latter had remarked that all theprison
| er’s papers were seized when his rooms
' were searched in 1894, and Colonel
j Jouaust said that certain papers from
| his text book, the school of war, were
found missing. To this the prisoner
retorted: “Not in 1894, my colonel.”
A former secretary of the war office
named Ferret testified to seeing Drey
fus prying into their officers’ work
during their absence, and the prisoner
replied excitedly that Ferret’s state
ments were concoctions by a former
minister of war, which caused a sen
sation.
Then in a cooler manner the pris
oner made a statement explaining the
difficulties in the way of a civilian,
such as Ferret, entering the offices of
the general staff.
General Gonse thereupon presented
two letters to the effect that the writ
ers, both of whom were civilians, ob
tained easy admittance to the offices.
Dreyfus retorted that the regula
tions were very strict in this respect,
and that, therefore, some persons
were guilty of gross breach of discip
line.
M. Demagne here scored a hit by
adding if the entry in these offices was
easy, anybody could procure the in
formation Dreyfus is alleged to have
obtained so surreptitiously.
The next witness, Lieutenant Col
onel Bertin, who was the head of
Dreyfus’ office in 1894, showed him
self to be a most virulent enemy of
the prisoner. He had evidently learn
ed his testimony by heart.
FILIBUSTERS ARE ACTIVE.
American Vessel* Are Vigilantly Guarding
the Cuban Coast.
News from Santiago de Cuba is to
the effect that the Dominican agents
are rapidly recruiting expeditions in
that part of the island, particularly on
the north coast.
All trading schooners are closely
watched. The tug Adonis was armed
and sent to Guantanamo to patrol the
coast.
It is certain that several expeditions
have been able able to get away with
out any interference, but General
Leonard Wood, tbe military governor,
is determined to do all in his power to
enforce neutrality.

Are Not Public In.
gSHms” Says (icner
al Otis.
|ggH9R>le dispatch from Manila,
■BHg Kong, states that the I’ili
HHI appear to retain much more of a
pHEting spirit than might be expected
Biter their recent San Fernando expe
diences and General Lawton’s drub
'biugs in the south.
After giving up San Fernando with
a feeble struggle they entrenched
themselves at Angeles, working for
several days and pressing non-combat
ants into the work, thus saving the
armed men for the fighting. They
engaged Lieutenant Colonel Skith’s
regiment aud the’ artillery
four hours, maintaining one ofMke
most stubborn resistances of the cam
paign. But the Americans are indebt
ed to the usual poor markmanship of
the Filipinos as well as their own
strategy for their small losses.
In the province of Cavite, where it
was supposed the rebels liad been scat
tered and demoralized beyond recuper
ation, they have assembled an army of
several thousand men, distributed
among the important, towns from the
lake to the bay.
After the San Fernando engagement
the rebels attempted to deter the
Americans from a' further advance
northward by menacing the railroad
communication. Several hundred of
General Pio del Pilar’s men crossed
the Rio Grande between the American
outpost towns and threatened Baliuag,
Quingua and other places, with small
American garrisons, while, during
Sunday and Monday nights, smaller
bands tried to tear up the railroad at
several points between Bigaa and Ma
lolos.
In the brushes between the Fili
pinos and the Americans during three
days the Americans lost several men,
while the Filipinos’ loss was heavy.
Of these engagements the Associ
ated Press correspondent was permit
ted to send only an adequate dispatch,
dictated verbatim by Major General
Otis. The censor writes stereotyped
official phrases aud adjectives into tlje
dispatches, tending to magnify the
American operations and to minimize
the opposition.
General Otis says newspapers are
not public institutions, but private en
terprises, and the ■ correspondents are
only there on sufi'rance.
All reports from the rebel territory
agree that the scarcity of food is in
creasing and that the rebel command
ers at Aparri and other points refuse
to obey Aguinaldo’s orders in regard
to closing the ports held by the rebels
against American ships and say that
any ship bringing stores will be wel
come. Several ships from Manila are
now at such ports.
Hundreds of people come into Ma
nila daily and return to the rebel lines
with food and other commodities. The
guards stationed along one road re
ported that five thousand persons
passed through the lines in three days
and that forty-five tons of rice were
carried out in small parcels, on the
same road, in ten days. Much of
this undoubtedly goes to aid the rebels,
but the authorities permit this traffic
from motives of charity towards the
women and children, who are un
doubtedly suffering.
General MacArtbur is establishing
municipal governments in villages
north of Manila. The mayor of Ba
liaug, the first town where General
Lawton established the same rule, who
was supposed to be one of most friend
ly and trustworthy of the natives, has
been placed in jail, charged with ar
ranging with the rebels for an attack
on the town.
The American troops have been
withdrawn from all that part of the
country which was half cleared of
rebels in the operation of the Ameri
cans in June last.
REED RESIGNS AT LAST.
Ex-Bpeaker Notifies Governor of Maine
That He Will Retire.
The resignation of Thomas B. Reed,
representative in congress from tbt
first Maine district, was received by
Governor Powers at Augusta, Maine,
Tuesday.
Mr. Reed will move to New York to
engage in the practice of law. Since
his return from Europe it has been
said that the ex-speaker would not re
sign from congress, but would remain
on the floor as the republican leader
against the McKinley expansion
policy.
The resignation, therefore, sets at
rest various rumors.

Luca* Found Guilty of Murder
The jury impaneled in the case of
the state against Will Lucas, the ne
gro farm hand indicted for the murder
of Robert Davis, a respected citizeq
of DeKarb county, rrendered a verdict,
in the trial at Decatur, of guilty, but
with a recommendation for life im
prisonment.
As soor as the verdict was read the
attorneys for the defense gave notice
of a motion for anew trial.
The crime of which Lucas is ac
cused is one of midnight assassina
tion, aud the victim was one of the
most prominent citizens of the county.
On the night of May 12th, last, Rob
ert F. Davis, hearing a noise in a room
across the hall from his sleeping apart
ment, arose and walked into the room,
holding a lighted match in his baud.
Some on the outside fired through
the window, and the bullet lodged in
Davis’ side. Neighbors, hearing the
shot and the screams of the women in
the house, hurried to the scene of the
shooting and found Davis in a dying
condition. After lingering for several
hours he died the next morning.
Suspicion rested on Will Lucas, a
hnnd formerly employed by Davis on
his farm and was arrested.

Athens Talks Railroad.
The people of Athens are very much
interested in the talk that is now going
the rounds concerning the new rail
road that is to be built by the Seaboard
Air-Lino.
The mere building of a railroad
from Athens to Augusta will work no
material benefit to Athens, but the con
struction of a line either to Chatta
nooga or Birmingham w ill be of great
benefit to the commercial and manu
facturing interests of the Classic City.

Improvements at Cartersville.
Cartersville now seems to be on the
eve of an extraordinary active season
in building and industrial lines, from
the number of enterprises and im
provements on foot and in contempla
tion.
Anew courthouse is within the list
of possibilities, the grand jury having
reoommended the building of one. It
is now certain the people of the county
will have a chance to vote on bonds to
the amount of $30,000.
Cartersville industries are. again
looking np. While iron and manga
nese matters are temporarily rather
dormant, the ochre business, which
has been a thrifty one, is now being
pushed more extensively thau ever be
fore. With those running and pro
jected, there will be five mills in oper
ation within a radiuß of five miles.

Carrying Concealed Weapons.
Judge Candler in his charge to the

The court said that vigorous means
would be adopted to break up the car
rying of concealed weapons of nil kinds
and that heavy fines would be the rule
in the event of suoh eases.

M. L. Marindin, of the United

begin at once to make arrangements
to survey the new Goodyear dynamite
work on the Brnnswick ocean bar.
Tbe survey is for the purpose of de
ciding whether, through recent work,
Colonel Goodyear has secured the re
rinisite depths and widths to entitle
him to the balance of the $90,000 that
the United States government is to al
low him on the contract he now has
with it for deepening this bar. The
survey must show a tweuty-five-foot
depth, two hundred wide and a twen
tv-five-foot depth one hundred wide.
There is every reason to believe the
depths have been secured and that
Colonel Goodyear will get his money.

KRUGER SENDS ANSWER.
Hand. Reply to British A|{<ml at Pretoria
But Contents Are Unknown
A cable dispatch from Chpe Town,
South Africa, states that the Transvaal
government, it is reported, has hand
ed its reply to the British agent at
Pretoria to be forwarded to Sir Alfred
Milner, British high commissioner for
South Africa and governor of Capo
Colony.
Conflicting accounts aro given as to
its contents and it is possible that the
report is premature and that the reply
will be delayed owing to the trouble
with Portugal about the transport oi
ammunition consigned to the Trans
vaal.
