He says that Col. Murray is a worker
himself, and appreciates the work done
bv the men under him.
To illustrate Col. Murray's ability,
Lieut.. Morris arrived at the barracks at
430 o. clock in the afternoon, and imme-
diately notified the commander. In is
minutes his men were supplied with
hot coffee and lunch, and before the
day was done they were fully equipped
with uniforms and blankets. Lieut.
Morris describes the barracks at Fort
Ethan Allen as a model army post with
everything in first-class shape. There
are at present no sentries, as there are
but 200 recruits at the post.
OF all the 3S men that Lieut.. Morris
brought with him, but three We're re-

"All that / want is men that can eat,
march and shoot, and men of that cali
bre is what l am looking for" He per-
sonally complimented Lieut.. Morris for
the work he has done in the recruiting
service in this city, and said that his
men were fine looking lot.

INFORMATION VAGUE.
London Does Not Know What to Think
of Beers Reply.

London, Sept. 14.-Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies,
has received information regarding the
nature of the reply of the Transvaal
government to the last British note At
the colonial Office reporter of the AS
ISOLATED Press was informed that moth
ing would be given out for the present.
It was regarded as significant, how
ever that the nature of the Boer re-
ply was communicated to the COM
chief, Field Marshal Lord
Wolseley, who Immediately summoned
Gen. Sir George Stewart White, V. c.,
former quartermaster general, the pros
pective commander of the British
forces in Natal
Montagu White said to reporter of
the Associated Press today: Il haze
good authority for believing that the
Transvaal reply will be unsatisfactory
to the British government"
At this hour the South African adj
vices continue most conflicting regard
ing the tenor of President Kruger's an
swer to Mr.. Chamberlain. The Post,
In a second edition, prints special dis
patch from Pietermaritzburg, capital
OF Natal saying the reply is "truculent,
loquacious and blasphemous. The
Manchester Guardians correspondent
al cape Town telegraphs that the out
look is of the glocmiest character.
Dispatches from Cape Town, dated
midnight, attach great Importance to
an article in the Ons Land, the organ
Of the Northumberland, which urges the
Transvaal to renew its offer regarding
q conference, declaring that there is no
reason why the Transvaal should not
accept a conference, calling attention
to the fact that word "suzerainty" is
not mentioned by Mr.. Chamberlain,
and that, therefore, there is nothing to
indicate an obligation on the part of
either government to abandon its views
on the subject.
This article is understood to be the
outcome of an important Afrikander
& caucus held to discuss the Chamberlain
note, and it is understood that the ar
gument has been fortified by the strong
messages to Pretoria, urging the volks-
raad to forego the suzerainty objection
and to concede the British proposals.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Hofmeier, the Afrikander leader,
has wired President Kruger to the
same effect, and similar representations
have been telegraphed from the Orange
Free State.

British Foreign Office Cables Hong
Kong Governor to Let Transport Go.
Washington, Sept. 14-Clearance pa
pers have been allowed the Tartar at
Hong Kong. 1t is expected that she
will proceed to the United States at
once. The information that clearance
papers had been allowed came in dis
patch to Adjt.-Gen. Corbin this morn
ing from Col. Metcalfe, commanding
the Twentieth Kansas and the troops
aboard the transport. 1t is supposed
that clearance papers were allowed on
the suggestion of the British foreign
office to the British governor at Hong
Kong, that it would be unwise to inter
fere with American transports.
Another dispatch from Col. Metcalfe,
in reply to one sent yesterday, states
that the Tartar was no more over
crowded than other transports, and
that the food was as good as on other
transports leaving Manila. He said
that the trouble arose among the dis
charged regular soldiers who were re-
turning home on board the ship.
