PACIFICATIoN OF ISLANDS.
Admiral Dewey Says FilIpinos are Capable
of Self-GOVernment.

Admiral Dewey Says FilIpinos are Capable
of Self-GOVernment.
New York, Aug. 23.-The London
correspondent of the World, in an in
terview with Admiral Dewey asked
him if the Philippines were likely to
be pacifed soon. The admiral replied:
Il have the question of the Philippines
more at heart than has any other
American, because l know the Fill
pinos intimately and they know 1 am
their friend. The recent instruction
is the fruit of the anarchy which has
long reigned in the islands, but the in
surgents will have to submit them
selves to the law after being accus-
toned to no law at all.
II believe and affirm, nevertheless,
that the Philippine question will be
very shortly solved. The Filipinos are
capable of governing themselves; they
have all qualifications for it. 1t is a
question of time, but the only way to
settle the instruction and assure pros
perity to the archipelago is to concede
self-govcrnment to the inhabitants.
That would be a solution of many
questions and would satisfy all, espe-
cially the Filipinos, who believe them
selves worthy of it and are so.
81 have never been in favor of vio-
lence toward the Filipinos. The islands
are at this moment blockaded by feet
and war reigns in the interior. This
abnormal state of things should cease.
l should like to see autonomy first con-
coded and then annexation might be
talked about. This is my opinion. l
should like to see violence at once put
a stop to. According to my view, the
concession of self-governm ent ought to
be the most just and most logical So

KRUEoER REFUSES TO SUBMIT.
Il IL Now Believed That Nothing Gas
Prevent War In the TransVaaI.

London, Aug. 23.-There is no longer
any doubt that President Kruger hal
refused to submit to the demand OF
Mr.. Cham berlsin for the appointment
of court of inquiry. He may
have done so diplomat ically or hedg-
ingly, but that his answer is regarded
by the British government as tanta-
mount to positive refusal is now an
established fact. The colonial Office
is non-eommittal, but there are other
evidences which amply justify this
statement. All the officials will say in
regard to the matter is: THE reply
is not a complete acceptance of the
proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary
of the colonies"
The report that President Kruger
has proposed new terms is somewhat
verified by the guarded comment of
the colonial Office officials and the irri-
liability displayed there. There is not
the slightest doubt that they now be-
ieve war is the only way to settle the
controversy. They would far rather
have had curt, defiant answer than
the temporizing answer which the Boer
president has sent With the former
Great Britain would have had plain
grounds for quick commencement
of hostilities. Under the terms which
now exist, aggressive action needs con-
siderable explanation to justify it in
the eyes of the world, and the English
minority who still declare war would
be an outrage.
However, if Mr.. Chamberlain has
his way, it is believed President Kru-
gers counter proposals will meet with
scant attention and, unless the Beers
completely back down, which is not
likely, the crisis will quickly develop
into war.
