THB BOBRS WILL FIGHT.
Inf0rma tion From South Africa
Gut OFF.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The announced In.
tention Of the British cabinet to meet
tomorrow has apparently been recon-
sidered. 1t Is now said that the meet
ing depends largely on the develop
ments in the Transvaal. The date for
summoning Parliament has not been
definitely settled, though it is expected
to be about October 18th.
Queen Victoria will hold privy
council at Balmoral at an early date,
when the necessary proclamation will
be signed. The remarkable absence of
news from South Africa this morning
leads to the belief that there has been
widespread cutting of telegraph wires
or that extra censorship has been es-
tabllshed. There is no Transvaal news
yet today, neither is there anything to
indicate that the authorities at Pre-
toria have the slightest desire to come
to terms peacefully with Great Britain.
Had the Beers not determined to fight
it out, they would, 1t Is believed, have
sent some temporarizing reply to Great
Britain's dispatch.
An vertisement appeared this
morning announcing the formation OF q
corps OF gentlemen rough riders, pat
termed after Roosevelt's Rough Rid
ers, for service In South Africa.
Advices from Ladysmith, Natal, to-
day, say that 600 burghers have assem-
bled at Albertina, In the Orange Free
State, with the object of proceeding in
the direction OF the border and that II
feared raid on Ladysmith is medi-
tatsd,
Reports from Cape Town declare that
an immediate rupture OF the diplomatic
relations between Great Britain and the
Transvaal Is expected.
Great excitement prevails at Cape
Town, where IL is reported that the
Beers have occupied Laing's Neck.

tor comins and ]. B. Mathewson ap'

INSURGENTS SEEK PEACE.
Unc ondi tionai Surrender De.
manded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A dispatch
from General Otis was received at the
War Department this morning giving
an account of his meeting With the in
surgent envoys. General Otis said the
interview with AgnInaldo's representa-
tives indicates that tho leaders were
manoeuvering solely with view to SO
cure recognition OF the insurgent gov
ernment. All such overtures we're re.
jected and the cnvoys were informed
that the only thing the United States
would recognize was q white flag and
the grounding Of arms. He also In
formed the ENJOYS that such capitula-
tion on the part Of the insurgents should
come quickly in order TO avoid the con-
sequences Of active war, as the United
States did not intend to permit any de-
lay In the matter.
The course OF General Otis Ia approx
ed at the War Department.
Secretary Root took the dispatch
from General Otis over to the White
House for the Presidents considera-
ton.

FOURTEEN AMERICAN PRISON.
ERS RELEASED.
Bruce Not Among Them.

MANILA. Sept 30.-Fourteen Amer.
ican prisoners, all enlisted soldiers, have
been delivered up by the Filipinos.
They are Corp. Otto Scheu and Pri.
Yates Albert Reubbaclk, Otto Wagner
and Peter Rollins, all Of the Third In
fantry, captured near Balinag, July 2S.
Joseph Macidrath, James Boyle, Will
liam Miller, John Crinshaw, Thomas
Daily and Eli Drew, Of the Sixteenth
Infantry, captured at Caloocan in Au-
gust; Paul Spillano and Louis Ford, OF
Fourth Infantry; Charles Wilmider, a
discharged Third Artilleryman, cap
tured by bandits while boating near
Malabon, and George Graham, colored,
an orderly of the Sixteenth Infantry,
who was put off a train near Malolos
and Immediately captured by insur-
gents.
They looked the picture of health,
and were dressed In new Filipino uni
forms OF blue gingham, and we're carry
ing monkeys and other presents from
their Filipino friends.
The prisoners unanimously praised
their treatment. One man said I'VE
have been given the best the country
afforded, fine houses for quarters, SER
wants, good food, plenty OF wine and q
money allowance. Aguinaldo visited
us and shook hands. Three Of the boys
refused to shake hands with him.
Judging from the stories of the prison
ers, they have been lionized by the
Filipinos. They report that five sail.
ors of Naval Cadet Woods's party ar.
rived at Tarlac Wednesday.
Though small Importance is attach
ed to their Judgment, they agree in say
ing that the Filipinos all say that they
''are tired OF the war, but will fight for
independence TO the last. D." The re-
leased soldiers also say the idea of in
dependence has taken a firm hold on
the Filipinos, and they threaten, If con-
quered, to exterminate the Americans
by assassination. Aguinaldo seemed
popular among all the people the pris.
oners met. The country, they say, ID
full OF rich crops.

Jacob Shallenbarger presented Pc

ter petition.
E. A. Cripps was awarded contract
to furnish the county with 20 cords OF
pine wood at 50 a cord, and 10 cords oil
mahogany at s4.50 a cord.
The law concerning peddlers' license
was brought up for discussion before
the Board. An act OF the last Legisla.
ture gave the Commissioners authority
to fix the amount of the license and
also apparently exempts from the
licence such itinerant merchants a,
have settled place of business in the
State. There Is considerable doubt a:
to the validity OF the law, and resolu'
tion was carried adopting Sec. 123 ol
the revenue law of 1891 as the rule for
llcensing peddlers in this county.
