Another correspondent says: -Four
thousand rifles and a quantity Of am
munition have just arrived at Johan-
nesburg and are being distributed by
the field comets. The burghers of Pre-
toria, 1000 in number, are equipped and
awaiting the order to advance"
The Cape Town correspondent Of the
Daily News says: ''The pass of Laings
Mex will be occupied tomorrow with
sufficient strength for present needs,
under the belief that the Beers will at
tack Natal Immediately, hoping to fore
stall the landing of the Indian con-
tingent."
The Daily Telegraph publishes the
following from it's correspondent in
Cape Town II regret TO note a uni
versaI opinion that war is very near.
Everywhere the Beers are active and
bellicose. They are arming, equipping
and storing supplies for a protracted
struggle.
1.-The Transvaal Government has
failed in an attempt to purchase 10000
sacks of wheat here, but Boer agents
are securing South Africa to buy cam
paign provisions. Proof accumulates
of the existence of a great Dutch con-
spiracy against British supremacy in
South Africa. The Free State is be-
doubt that the Orange Government is
intent upon war. Many Beers in the
northern districts of Cape Colony are
joining our probable enemy. The Dutch
republics will together be able to mus
ter 35 900 men, nearly all mounted. l
learn that the Orange Free state has
decided to put 10, 900 men into the field. :"
An American, J. C. Howell, has been
appointed editor of the Johannesburg
Star. in the absence of Mr.. Money
penny, who crossed the border in order
to evade warrant issued for his ar
rest by the Transvaal authorities. I'M
mediately upon war being declared
both the Star and the Transvaal Leader
will be suppressed. Several other
Johannesburg papers have already sus-
pended publication.
The Cape Town correspondent OF the
Daily Mail says "The Beers, I believe,
will construe the occupation of Laings
Mex as an act of hostility. British mem
bers of the Cape Town House of AS
senbly freely criticize Englands un-
preparedness and predict a serious re-
verse followed by grave risings of
colonists in the adjoining republics,
namely at Alberta, Aliwal North,
Burghersdorp. Colesberg, Hanover and
other places to the northward, which
have been well armed by the republic
This is no fairy tale, but an honest
opinion of members of Parliament here
There has been an enormous run on re-
volvers. The price of Mausers has ad-
vanced from CT to G22 Supplies of all
kinds are quickly bought up. President
Steyn. it is reported is about to send
his family to the Cape.
RIOEMFONTEIN, Sept. 27.-The
Volksraad of the Orange Free State has
unanimously resolved to instruct the
Government to use every means to in
sure peace without violating the honor
or independence of the Free State or
the Transvaal In a further resolution
the Volksraad declared its opinion that
war would be criminal, but asserted
that come what might, the Free state
Iyould faithfully fulfill its obligations to
the Transvaal in virtue of the existing
pOliticaI alliance.

are trying to incite the natives Of
Matabon, a city of $4,000 inhabitants.
five miles from Manila, to rise against
the American garrison. Captain Allen
has been holding the place with two
companies of the Sixteenth Infantry
but on account Of the need of all avail
able men at the front, his force has
been reduced to seventy men. Ihey
now remain near the big church where
they are quartered, being too few in
number to attempt to patrol the town.
The armed uniformed parties of insur-
gents recently disembarked during the

to gain their favor. A Filipino paper
saws that on the occasion Of a recent
fete at Vittoria in celebration of a
mythical Filipino victory the American
prisoners there were given the freedom
Of the town and five pesos each with
which to celebrate the victory.
The EngIishmen also say the Fill
pinas have offered all the Americans
commissions in the army and that
three of them accepted. This is not
believed.
American n officers north Of Manila say
that Aguinaldo is attempting to en-
force good government after the Amer
lean fashion, ordering his soldiers t.
suppress a band of robbers, three OF

former insurrection, when he went over
TO the Spanlards, and they may expel
him.
Aguinaldo has issued decree invit-
Ing Filipino deserters to return within

The American authorities have de-
clined the request of General Jara-
milo, the Spanish officer who is set
ting Spatn's military affairs in the
Philippine Islands, to send vessel I'M
der the Spanish flag to collect the
Spanish prisoners at insurgent ports,
as stipulated by the Filipinos. on the
ground that the ports are closed; that
such a step, therefore, would be unlaw-
full, and because they declined to ac-
cept the F'ilipinos' dictation. The au-
thorities are ready to send an Ameri-
can vessel. The Spanish commission
therefore viii return to the insurgent
lines and endeaVOr to effect an ar
rangement for the delivery of the
prisoners on board an American vessel.
Aguinaldo has issued a statement say
ing the warlille activity of the Amerl-

of the prisoners as intended, but that
they will be delivered up on October 10.

cept American sovereignty in exchange
for protection against the harassiug
Moros.
A native officer has offered Major
General Otis 1000 Maccabbee tribesmen
