CALLED Him BACK
Best Information Is That Kruger
Resigned the Transvaal
Presidency,
/ But That Upon a Strong Assur..
ance Of Confidence by the
Volksraad,
Notwithstanding Differences Q,
Opinion, He Withdrew the
Resignation.

CAPETowN, July 26.-Adyices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that President Kruger of the South
African Republic has resigned.
LONDON, July 2e.-Reports regarding
the resignation Of President Paul Kru-
ger Of the South African Republic are
conflicting, but according to the best
information he actually resigned his Of.
fee conditionally. The Volksraad while
maintaining it's opposition to President
Kruger's views on the dynamite con-
cession, has given its assurance that it
still has the utmost confidence in Pres
ident Kruger, and it is believed that he
has withdrawn his resignation.
AS to the difference of opinion on the
question Of the dynamite concession,
General P. j. Joubert, vice president Of
the republic, and the majority Of the
volksraad favor cancellation, OF the
monopoly, while President Kruger sup
ports it. The minority of the volks-
raad desires to buy out the company.

did about it. They are pretty anxious

ment has offered so Mexican money

Private Letter From & War Cor
respondent Of . London
Newspaper
Tells fthe Strictness Of the Cen
sorship Of Dispatches from
Manila.
Impossible to Write the Truth
About Existing Conditions
There.

LONDON, July 28.-A private letter
received here from war correspondent
at Manila, and dated June II, says:
There seems to be no end of the war
In sight. The censorship is constantly
becoming more troublesome. General
Otis recently established ruls that any
matter relating to the navy must be
taken to the commander of the feet for
his approval and afterwards submitted
to the military censor, thus adding to
our difficulties. For some reason which
the censor would not explain, General
Otis refused to allow us to send the
death Of the Nonadnock's captain
{Nichols) for two days after its occur
renee. The general also refused to let
us send news Of the disappearance Of
Captain Rockefeller (April s5) on thu
ground that it would worry his
family, or the killing Of Captain
Tilley Of the signal corps unit,
next day. The correspondents are "a
ready tired of this arrangement, which
simply means that they must 20 out
and run large chances Of getting shot.
several times week, with no chance Of
making reputations because their stor-
les must always reflect Otis views.
"It is impossible to write the truth
about the situation. The resources and
fighting qualities Of the natives are
quite misunderstood by the American
papers and we cannot write the facts
without being accused of treason; nor
can we tell Of the practically unanim.
GUS opposition to aud dislike of the war
among the American troops. The vol
unteers, or at least portion Of them.
were at one time on the verge Of mu.
tiny, and unless General Otis had begun
sending them homewards there would
have been sensational developments.
I'VE have been absolutely refused all
hospital figures"

WILL KEEP OTIS.

President said 20 Have No Iatentioa oi
RsplAeing Him.
New YORK, July c6.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
The president has no intention Of re-
ieving General Otis from the military
command in the Philippines. He had
seriously thought at one time of assign.
ing an officer Of high rank to command
the forces in the field, leaving General
Otis to perform the administrative du-
ties of governor general Thepresident
had two propositions before him, one to
make Lawton the commanding officer
Of the fighting forces and the other to
send Merritt back to his old place. The
latter assignment would mean the sub.
ordination to General Otis as governor
general to General Merritt, who out.
ranks him by regular as we'll as volun-
teer title. Both these ideas have now
been abandoned.
Speaking for the president, a cabinet
officer said:
.To remove General Otis now would
8 be an admission that he had failed.
we cannot admit this, for certainly the
official dispatches from the Philippines
show material extension Of our line,
far beyond the points controlled by
Spain. To place new commander in
control Of the troops and, make him in
dependent OF General Otis would cause
no end Of friction. There can be but
one entrusted with plenary powers and
can repeat that the president is well
satisfied to entrust General Otis with
those powers"
Notwithstanding this administrative
view favorable to General Otis, it can
be stated that some officials here have
private information which tends to con-
firm the press reports Of the unpopular
ity Of General Otis with many officers
hf his command. Is

MILITARY OPERATIONS END

Unprecedented Rains Causes Floods
Around Manila.
MANILA, July 24.-The unprecedented
rains Of the last week have convinced
observers here that military operations
on large scale or advances covering
many miles will be impossible for q
long time. Many miles Of the country
are flooded to depth Of three or four
feet. The Paranaque bridge, which was
considered impregnable, has been swept
away, cutting off temporarily the gar
risons Of linus and Bacoor from COM
munication with Manila. In the cir
cumstances it will be impossible to
rnove wagon trains as the trails have
become doubtful. Pack mules will be
utilized Il it should become possible for
soldiers to make marches. The officials
will have their hands full for some time
in arranging for the departure of vol
unteers and in settling the regulars
who are replacing them.
