ANOTHER BREATHING SPELL.
How the Action of the English Cab
met Is Regarded.

London, Sept. S0.-In a few words, the
position as left by yesterdays cabinet
council is that President Kruger has
been given another breathing spell, and
that another council next week will
probably be called, on Tuesday, TO give
final consent to the dispatch which
Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Chamberlain
are engaged in drafting. and which will
formulate the British demands.
The official statement that no infor-
nation will be given respecting mill
tary movements is interpreted to mean
important movements intended.
The government is actively charter
ing transport vessels in every direction.
The exigencies of the transport service
are likely to necessitate the continued
piecemeal embarkation of the troops.
a London friend Of President Kruger
has cabled advising him to accept the
British proposals, as there is no desire
on the part of England to take away
Boer independence and a failure to
comply will mean war.
To this, President Kruger replied: 1T
is impossible to act upon the lines de-
sired without losing our independence"

MEETING OF THE CABINET.
Imperative Demands to Be Made
Upon the Transvaal.

London, Sept. 29.-The meeting of
the British cabinet, on whose deliber-
s.tsons practically hangs war or peace
in South Africa, began at o'clock this
morning. President Kruger's reply to
the last note of the imperial govern
7nent has now been received and will
be the pivot Of today's discussion
The cabinet adjourned at S:15 p. m.
The ministers were heartily cheered by
the waiting crowds. 1t is said from
Boer sources that Mr.. Chamberlain s
proposals submitted to the cabinet in
clude an indemnity for the cost of
sending out troops, the disarmament
of the Transvaai forts, the suppression
of Or. Jeyd's legation, Indicative and
legislative independence for the judges,
the equality of the English and Dutch
languages and full and complete adj
mission of the supremacy of British
interests throughout South Africa.
A dispatch from Cape Town to the
Associated Press is given the leading
place in the afternoon papers. While 1t
is too brief TO give an adequate idea
of the Transvaafs attitude, the impress
SION it produced was rather favorable
Than otherwise.
The crowds began to gather in the vi
cinity of the foreign office as early as
II O'Clock. The home secretary, Mr..
arrive, at HIS. Mr.. A J. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury, came down from
Scotland, and Lord Salisbury came
from Hatfield. They reached Downing
street shortly after noon. Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, drove TO the colonial office
at 1915 p. NJ. AS he passed through
the crowd assembled in Whitehall he
was greeted with cheers. which were
renewed when he aiighted.
A large force of police was stationed
about Downing street, but perfect or
DER was maintained.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it UNDER
stands that MIR. Chamberlain submit
ted a dispatch TO the cabinet council to-
day, containing the following demands
on the Transvaal:
]. Five years franchise qualification
without hampering conditions.
.. Municipal government at Jo-
hannesburg on freely elected basis.
3. The separation Of. the judicature

delightful features OF the day was the
hearty way in which the members Of

of the tribute to their great kinsman.

has been a New Yorker for years, the

New York has never witnessed before
anything approaching this wonderful
remarkable demonstration. The Column
bian naval parade, the dedication OF
Grants tomb and the reception OF the
North Atlantic squadron last fall, all
pale before this gigantic ovation to the
sailor who, in single morning, de7

Was Bright Day.
When New York turned out to the
celebration this morning, a light haze
hung over the harbor, but this was
soon burned up by the bright sun which
bathed sea and city in it's brilliant
radiance. The wind was strong and
gusty, and kept the flags swapping.
People who went down the bay were
lost in admiration of the display OF
bunting along the water front. On the
East river, from the bridge to the bat-
terry, where the sailing craft lie lin
droves, the spars were covered with
such a mass of color as might be COM
pared to a maple grown hillside in the
deep autumn. The tall spars OF the
clippers were conspicuous for their en-
signs and signals. Every craft in the
harbor was decked out from stem to
stern with all the grace and attractive
ness known to shippers.
But the display in the East river was
not to be compared with that of the
North river, up which the procession
was to pass. From the peaks of ever
pier long ropes strung with flags of
every hue were stretched to the. snuh-
bling post at the corner and the fronts
were decorated with multitude of gay
devices. There were flags on the stats
and lines of flags above the ropes.
Ships In Gay Attire.
The ships at their sides were
dressed from stem to taffrail, and some
carried flags on their yards and had
their deck houses covered. The wind
shook the banners from millions of vim
dows, porticos and even steeples, and
never, perhaps, in this generation, did
hearts that love it bound SO quickly to
the sight of the flag. Up the river, far
off on the Jersey shore and high on the
misty palisades it cleaned.

with such blast as can only, be heard

ers. And that was simply the prelude
to what continued throughout the day
an almost continuous roar Of steam
whistles.
Meantime the vessels to take part in
the parade were massing over near the
Long Island shore. until that side of the
harbor became a tangle Of stacks and
flags and framework as far as the eye
could reach. The grassy slopes of Wads-
worth and Fort Hamilton and the
wharves and shores of Staten Island
were covered with sightseers, watching
the fleet below. The warships lay spick
and span, ready for the start, their bur-
nished metal flaming in the sun, theif
sides white as virgin snow. Between
them and the shore lay the low, long.

from the toe of the first marine to the
jaunty cap of the last sailor. All
seemed a little dazed at the prospect
before them, and no doubt many would
have preferred a. programme involving
a duplication Of the Manila fight to the
ordeal they were to go through.
How Sailors Were Dressed.

their! snowy uniforms, but were attired
in special undress "A, !" as it Isl tech

no gold epaulettes, goId-bounG beavers
