INFORMAL ULTIMATUM.
London View of the Speech of MT.
ChamberIain at Birmingham.


LONDON, Aug. 28.-There is little fresh
news from South Africa, but it is an
nounced that the governor of Natal has
refused to allow the transit of empty
cartridge cases intended for the Trans
wall
The Pretoria correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle declares that President Kru-
gers concessions are so far reaching that
IT is doubtful whether the burghers will
re tify them. He thinks it more likely
that they will demand Mr.. kruger's
resignation and the appointment of q
younger man, probably Schalk, a burgher
a non-ofticial member of the executive
council of the Transvaal. All the papers
comment on the serious nature of the
predictions in the speech of Joseph Cham
berlain at Birmingham on Saturday.
The Daily Telegraph calls the speech
IAN informal ultimatum.''
The Standard says it marks the most
critical stage yet reached.
The Daily News observes: 1--WE cannot
but suppose that such grave words were
well weighed beforehand"
The Times says: "Such a delicate SIT
uation cannot be protracted. We believe
that within the last few days the final
arrangements for the general direction
of the expedition which will be necessary
in the event of a rupture have been COM
pieted at the war office. 1t is scarcely
necessary to point out the extreme danger
of allowing entrance into South Africa Of

the hands Of the black population, exceed

PRINCE AT NEWPORT.
Claimant to Servian Throne Arrives
With His Servants.

with His servants.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Prince Alexis
Karageorgevitch, claimant to the throne
of Servia, reached New York on the
Etruria, but did not stay. HIS trunks,
of which there were two truck loads, were
taken directly from the pier to the Grand
Central depot, and the prince is sup
posed to have gone to Newport with his
numerous retinue. Inquiry fails to dis
cover to which of the fashionable houses
there he was consigned. Prince Alexis is
a tall, longfaced person, with a COM
plexion of the proper shade for a de-
scendant of Black George, and a fine long
black muStache. Besides his usual serv-
ants he brings with him an Italian peas
ant in comic opera costume. The prince
has come travelling for information, he
says, and his stay in the country depends
on how much he can learn from us. He
also says the movement for the restora-
ton of the Karageorgevitch dynasty is
progressing and that his brother, when
he made his secret visit to Servia, found
the people of the country all in favor Of
a change.
1t was particularly good day for
princes in New York Prince Casimir
LUbomirski, Russian, having learned all
he wanted about the United States, pass
ed through and sailed for home on La
Normandie, and Prince Henri de Croy,
son of a Belgian duke, arrived on the
st. Louis.

CELL FOR MERCIER
A RUMOR AT RENNES THAT THE
GENERAL is TO BE AR

'GOvernment Desires to Know the
Means by Which Documents of

PubIic-Merc1er Refuses to See
Callers or to Express Any View
as to the Turn of Events.

RENNEs, Aug. 27.-This evening 1t is
rumored that the government has de-
cided to arrest Gen. Mercier, but the ru-
NOR is not confirmed.
Last evening a report was In circula-
ton that Gen. MERCER had fed to the
island of Jersey, but the story proved
to be without foundation. Early this
morning the gendarmes were still posted
outside the residence Of Gen. ST. Ger
main, military commander of this dis
triet, with whom Gen. MERCER has been
staying during the trial Their presence
indicated that he was still there though
in reply to questions they said they had
not seen him leave the grounds. This
afternoon he was undoubtedly at home,
although he declined to receive callers
No one who has studied his character
and motives believes that Gen. MERCER
would flee at the prospect Of arrest. He
has altogether too much doggedness in
his composition.
Gen. St. Germans house IS in one Of
the suburbs of Rennes
The government has decided to prose-
cute the Eclair for the publication of
the "Canaille de D. document, one
of the four documents secretly communi-
Gated to the Dreyfus court-martiaI of
1894, and which has been shown not to
refer to Capt. Dreyfus at all. The OBJ
ject of the government is to discover
who communicated 1t to the I2clair. The
assumption is that the communication
was made by Col du Patty de Clam, or,
possibly, by Gen. Gonse. The publica-
ton occurred three years ago, but IN
der the law prosecution can be MAIN
tanned at any time during the following
five years.

MANILA, Aug. 20 (via Hong Kong,
Aug. 2O.-Recent events have proved
somewhat discopraging to the officials
who are trying to accompany war with
a policy of Cancellation. Two new munic-
ipal governments have collapsed through
the treachery of the mayors. Today the
mayor of San Pedro Macati, who was
elected by the people under the direction
Of Prof. Dean Worcester of the United
States advisory commission for the Phil
ippines, was brought to Manila and
lodged in jail. The United States officers
at San Pedro Macati found that he was
using his Office in securing information
for the Filipino army Disguised insur-
gents were helping him.
ANOTHER ARREST.
The mayor Of Baliuag was also arrested
and confined in the same prison. The
Americans caught him passing between
the lines Of the two armies with an in
eliminating document, which the authori-
ties secured. Another prominent native
mayor is under surveillance.
When the election at linus, which Cen
was announced the Americans INQUIRED as
to the whereabouts of the peoples choice.
and were Informed that he was in prison
at Bilibid, where the authorities had
placed him on suspicion of being a rev.
oluuonist He was released and Installed
as mayor.

of the natives sympathize with the in

know to be revolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been policed
at night with unusual vigilance. Ap-
parently the authorities are expecting
trouble.
The trend of affairs tends to make
the policy of leniency unpopular among
the Americans. When they abandoned
Morong they burned the whole town.

regarding Filipino friendliness Instead
of allowing the natives to return to the
towns as heretofore he has ordered his
men to shoot all men trying to pass
the lines, and to turn back all women
and children. He recently gave the
amigos ii the town an opportunity to
prove their professed friendship, putting
them to work at digging trenches and
cleaning streets, but this only displeased
them. The foremost citizen of Angeles,
a lawyer, who had welcomed the Ameri-

gents. The Americans promptly march

KITCHENER's KIND WORDS.
The Sirdar Takes Occasion to Com
graduate the United States.

CAIRO, Aug. 27.-In the course of his
speech at the opening of the Atbara
bridge, which was constructed by Phil
adelphia firm, after competition with
British firms for the contract, the sirdar,
Lord Kitchener of Khartoum said:
1.-THE construction of this magnificent
bridge, I think, may fairly be considered
a record of achievements. So far as the
failure of the efforts to place the con-
struction order in England is concerned,
I am delighted that our cousins across
the Atlantic stepped in. This bridge is
due to their energy, ability and power
to turn out works of magnitude in less
time than anybody else. I congratulate
the Americans on their success in the
erection of a bridge in the heart of At
RIGA. They have shown real grit far from
home, in the hottest month Of the year,
and depending upon the labor of foreign
ers"

QUIET AT DARIEN.
No HOstiIities, Though the Soldiers
Are Still on Guard.

DARIEN, Ga, Aug. 27.-There were no
hostilities between the blacks and the
military today though the negroes re-
main armed. That the situation is i'm
proved is evidenced by the fact that Col.
Lawton, commanding the First regiment,
has sent back to Savannah Sc men and
three officers whose services are no
longer needed. There remain something
more than zoo soldiers on duty. These will
remain until after the sitting of the spe-
cial term of the superior court, which has
been called to meet on Wednesday to
try John Delegal for the murder of Dep
uty Sheriff Townsend.
The special term will also try Henry
Delegal, the negro about whom all the
trouble has arisen, and the thirty-flve
black rioters who are now confined in the
Savannah Jail. It is probable that a spe-
cial train and a military escort will bring
rioters from Savannah for trial. There
are still several hundred armed negroes
in the swamp.
