City Of Mexico, Aug. 21.-The Chi
cago invitation committee feel
President Diaz's statement that he
will ask congress for permission to &C.
cept their invitation is equal to accept
ance. The mere formality of congress
sional permission is Indispensable.
Gen. DiaZ is greatly pleased with the
magnificent form Of invitation extend
ed to him, as is also Mrs. Diaz. On all
hands it is agreed that the Chicago
representatives have maintained the
honor Of that great city. The Chi
cagoans dine by special invitation with
the president this afternoon, and to-
morrow they will formally present the
Invitations to members Of the cabi-
net. There is a general feeling among
the Mexicans that President Diaz
should accept Chicago's Invitation, as
his visit to the United States at this
time. when Mexican bonds r largely
held by American investors, would
tend to bring about even closer rela-
lions with the United States and tend
to break down the influence Of the
opposition party here who make capt.
tai out Of the taking Of Spanish terri
tory by the Americans.

been taken toward sending reinforce
ments to Manila. Orders were issued
directing the Twenty-seventh infantry,
at Camp Meade, the Thirty first, at
Camp Thomas, ana the T~hirty-fourth,

ready to embark for Manila. The
other new regiments will soon start
for San Francisco The dates on which
some Of the regiments will break

of the Thirtieth infantry, at Fort Sher-
idan, nor for the departure of the

WAR is IMMINENT
ONLY WAY TO SETTLE THE BOER
CONTROVERSY.
Refuses to Submit to the
Demand of Mr.. Chamberlain for
Unauiry-UnIess the Beers Com.
I: pletely Back Down the COrre-
! sp0ndence Will Quickly Develop
I Into War-England in a Most Sc
rious Crisis.

London. Aug. 23.-There is no longer
any doubt that President Kruger has
refused to submit to the demand Of
Mr.. Chamberlain for the appointment
of q court Of inquiry. He may have
done so automatically or hedgingly.
But. that his answer is regarded by
the British government as tantamount
to positive refusal is now an estaD-
lished fact. The colonial office is nor
mally non-committal, but there are
other evidences which amply justify
the statement. The report that Presl-
dent Kruger has proposed new terms
is somewhat verified by the guarded
comment Of the colonial Office officials
and the irritability displayed there.
There is not the slightest doubt that
they now believe war is the only way
to settle the controversy. They would
far rather have had a curt, defiant
answer than the temporizing answer
which the Boer president has sent.
With the former Great Britain would
have plain grounds for a quick COM
mencement of hostilities. Under the
circumstances which it is believed
now exist a grave action needs con-
siderable explanation to justify it n
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 Kruger's counter proposals
will be met with scant attention, and
unless the Beers completely back
down. which is not likely, the CORE
spondence will quickly develop into
war. 1t has developed that the war
office has been aware of the nature OF
the Transvaal governments answer
for several days, and that it was trans
mitted to the war Office, hence Great
Britain will delay the denouement as
little as possible. An official said to
the Associated Press:
"Dreyfus seems the only thing u
people think about, though England Is
in a most serios crisis. This indifer-
ence is, perhaps, typical"
A special dispatch from Cape Town
says there is great danger of an out
break Of violence on the frontier and
that the scum Of South Africa are en-
listing throughout the colony and are
being sent to Pittsiana and Jameson,
on the border.

Havana, Aug. DIT is asserted! that
the arrest of Gen. Juan Isidro Jimi-
nez, the aspirant to the presidency Of
Santo Domingo, who was captured on
board a steamer at Cienfuegos just as
the steamer was about leaving that
port, was not caused by orders from
Havana, but was effected through the
orders Of Gen. James H. Wilson, gov
ernor of the department Of Matanzas
and Santa Clara. Immediately upon
learning of the arrest Maj. Gen.
Brooke, governor general Of Cuba,
gave orders for the release Of the pris.
oner. The action of Gen. Wilson in
ordering the arrest of Jiminez causes
much comment. The present plans Of
Jiminez are net known. The. friends
Of Gen. Jiminez claim that h~issarrest
was due to Gen. Maxine Gomez, who
is supposed to have Informed the au-
thorities about his departure.

THEM OVER
SPEEDY TRANSPORTATION OF
TROOPS TO THE PHILIPPINES.
More Transports May BE chartered

ments Will BE Landed In the

cember Secretary Root Giving
His Personal Attention to II Sc
lection Of Omcers for the New
Regiments-Names Will BE SEM
to the President.

Washington, Aug. 20. Secretary
Root was busily engaged the greater
part of the day yesterday in selecting
officers to fill the new regiments, gong
over the lists Of names that have Deeh
submitted with recommendation 1or
appointment, and considering their ef-
iiciency records during the Spanish
a The secretary is giving the mat
ter of these selections his personal at
tention and the list is being prepared
in his private office. After the selec-
lions are made by the secretary they
will be sent to the president for his ap-
prevail.
Preparations continue actively IN the
matter Of arranging for the speedy
transportation of the troops to the
Philippines. The quarterlnaster's de-
partment has been considering the adj
visibility of chartering more trans
ports on the Pacific coast. Already
the ships chartered make it possible to
send nearly all the organizations now
formed by Sept. 25 instead of two
weeks later, which was the schedule
first shown to Secretary Root. The
transports Logan and Thomas are now
being fitted up on the Atlantic coast
and it is expected they will be ready
% sail by the middle of October and
will take three regiments via the Suez
canal.
At. the latest calculation it is now
believed to be possible to land all the
new regiments in the Philippines by
the LIST of December, or very soon after
that date.
Seven of the lieutenant colonies
named Thursday are now serving in
the Philippines. They will remain
there and await the arrival of their
regiments. r,.5
While it may not be necessary to use
all the troops in the Philippines, it is
understood to be the plan of Secre-
tary Root to have Il sufficient force to
net only defeat the insurgents at ev-
cry point. but to garrison and hold the
places that may be taken, and thus in
sure Il safe line of communication.
