THE TRANSVAAL Can Only Be Settled at Present Stage By a . Resort to Arms. UNCLE KRUGER’S REPLY IS NOT AN ACCEPTANCE Britons Who Are Posted on Affairs See No Way to Avoid War With the Transvaal Government. A London cable dispatch savs: The colonial office iu confirming Hie patch from Capo Towu, saying the Transvaal government had handed 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 iu regard to the matter was: . U' Eiie 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 the demand of Mr. Chamber- fain for the appointmeut of a court of inquiry. He may have done so diplo¬ matically or hedginglv, 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 report that President Kruger has proposed new terms is somewhat veri- fied by the guarded comment of the (olonial officials and tbe irritability displayed there. There is not the slightest doubt that they now believe that, war is the only way to settle the 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 ELBERTON’S CARNIVAL OPENED. 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 welcofhe address was made by Mayor Adams. Hon. J. P. Shannon then introduced Senator B. Tillman, who made the .opening Sfidr’es rr His theme w r as 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 wotfld soon be worse than now. FOUR WERE BOUND OVER. Wliitecapperg 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 $1,000 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 Daring 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, l compelling them to seek the mainland. Iu the attempt, all of their boats were K capsized except one, drowning four- teen men, consisting of four Smith ei and four Salter brothers and six others. ' AU were married and men of large | j families. The two survivors saved themselves j by cutting away their boat’s naast, ! throwing their cargo overboard and I drifting ashore. sale not confirmed.

It has developed that the war office has been aware of the nature of the Transvaal government’s move for sev¬ eral days, aud 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 to a representative of the Associated Press his disgust at what he termed ■“Kruger’s cupidity aud hypocrisy,” He said: “The kind of game w-hich 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 TJitlanders, he never hesitated to make money out of them, either by fair or foul means. “This Transvaal question cannot be judged by recent occurrences. You must go back fifty years. It has been hanging fire all that time, and 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 js somewhat aunoyed 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 iu the most serious crisis. This indifference is perhaps typical.” A special dispatch from Cape Town says there is gr.eat danger 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 Like 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- sumiug everything in its way. It had itsorigin.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 town had been built in the early days of the camp aud 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.iis of dynamite and all the afternoon the hills roared with explosions, but the effort was in vain. “INTIMIDATION” CHARGED. Federation of Hallway Employes Holds Interestiiic 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 Mob at Leghorn, Italy. A special dispatch received at Lon- don Monday from Leghorn, Italy,says that five men have been arrested there on the charge of attacking and wound¬ ing some sailors who had gone ashore 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 purchased by the Cawthon Cotton Mill Company, of Selma, for 362,100. The mill originally cost $125,000. MAY HASTEN DECISION. It I* Said That Report On Carter Cese Will Soon Be Forthcoming:.

TESTIMONY which TURNS I ill tide Labori Drawn Out Admissions Favorable to His Unhappy Client. A cable , dispatch from Rennes, France, says: Maifcre Labori, leading counsel for Dreyfus who was murder¬ ously assaulted August 14th, xvas pres¬ ent in court Tuesday morning. His appearance was the signal for scenes of extraordinary euthusiasin. , Dreyfus entered the court room soon afterward and having saluted the judges, turned to M. Labori with out¬ stretched hand, a smile of keen pleas¬ ure lighting up his pale and usually impassive features. The lawyer took the prisoner’s hand aud shook it warmly, whereupon Dreyfus gave him another look of gratitude and took his seat in front of counsel’s table with his back toward them. Colonel Jonaust next read from a paper an address to M. Labori, the tone of the president being quite sym- pathetic. Ihe lawyer made an impassioned reply. He was deeply affected and his voice was clear, though not so strong as before he was shot. He was nerv- ous aud excited and swayed to and fro as he delivered his reply. His hearers were profoundly impressed, The incident considerably fatigued him and he sat down flushed and hold- ing his side. He afterward once or twice nervously twitched his fingers and au expression flitted over his face as though he were suffering. The first witness called was M. Grenier _ the former prefec of Belfort, Hlfi tes imony was favorable to Drey- , J ' 18 aud GrstmcUy hostile to Ester- * '"telligeuce Ma { or K „ ° llln ... - of , t le . , department, was asked , , by M Labori during the course of the former s testimouv how a certain document of 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 M. Labori asked Colonel Jouaust to request General Mercier to explain, The general arose and said he declined to answer. M. Labori insisted, but Mercier still refused to answer, and Major Carnere, the government com- missiary, supported him,on the ground that the examination was entirely up- on a matter " Inch ought not, in toe 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 the desired information, The next point was made by Drey- T ,ls m his reply to Major all Rolan. the The latter had remarked that prison- er’s papers were seized when his rooms were searched in 1894, and Colonel Jouaust said that certain papers from b‘ a text book, the school ... of war, were found missing. To this the prisoner retorted: “Not in 1894, my colonel.” I 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 cooler . the a manner pris- oriel ' 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 reguia- tions were very strict in this respect, an d that, therefore, some persons were guilty of gross breach of discip- Hne. M. Demagne here scored a hit by adding 'Ithe entry in wa, easy, anybody could procure tbe in- formation Dreyfus is alleged to have obtained so surreptitiously. The next witness, Lieutenant Col- one! 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 Vessels Are Vigilantly Guarding the Cuban Coast. News from Santiago de Cuba is to the effect that the Dominican agents arc- rapidly recruiting expeditions in that part of tbe 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, the military governor, is determined to do all in his power to enforce neutrality.

In tbe province of Cavite, where it waH si ] pp0s( > d the rebels had been scat¬ tered and demoralized beyond recuper¬ ation, they have assembled an army of several thousand men, distributed among tbe important towns from the lake to the bay. After the 8nn 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 Balinag, Quingua and other places, with small American garrisons, while, during Sunday aud Monday nights, smaller bands tried to tear up the railroad at several points between Bigaa and Ma- lolos. , In the brushes betweeu 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- a ted Press correspondent was permit- sen( j only an adequate dispatch, dictated verbatim by Major General otis.

As soor as the verdict was remf the attorneys for the defense gave notice of a motion for a new trial. The crime of which Lucas is ae- ensed is one of midnight assassina¬ tion, and the viotim 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 hand. 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 several dying condition. After lingering for hours he died the next morning. Suspicion rested on Will Lucas, a hand formerly employed by Davis on his farm and was arrested. Athens Talks Railroad.
