son for believing that tae United states
VIII not recognize any d'p9ouaauc ohaN1i
from the Tranavaal republic ~no may pre-
sen, biuself az the state department as
such When the Boer government desis
mated Gen. o Beirne as is& representative
here a graceful and convenient avenue Oh
escape was found In the fact that rs IL
citizen Of the United state, and as sach
could not act ~ a diplomatic capacity
for a foreign power, Inc long estao'shs"
policy OF this government being contrary
10 such recognition. II IL NOT believed mat
even If the Tranzvaal republic sends one ~
its ogn citizens here az diplomatic repre-
sentative, official recognition would De
given to him by the state department
Great Britains claim 10 suzefain power
over the Trafsvaai would make sucn recog-
milton Of doubtful propr.ety. soT IL might
be construed as indicating that tas United
States did no. accept ths fact Of EnglanGs
suzerainty. Gen o Beirne gracefully accept
ed the refusal Of the state department 70
receive him as the diplomatic agent Of the
Boer republic, ana he has returned TO New
York II is not known here II the Trans
wal republic has YET designated any other
person to act a. It's agent here, or IL IL In
tends TO do so.
Censorship Over Press.
II has developed here tina. Gen Otis sus-
pended the press censorship az Manila over
a month ago--on September O. T. be- exact
II had not been the intention OF the Of
ficials 10 make this fact public from wash
fngton but when the press dispatches tell
ing Of the engagement at No.eleta were
received there was considerable feeling ia
the navy department because It was
thought Gen. Otis had stricken out some
favorable notices OF the part taken 81 me
naval contingent This led 10 the dis
closure that not since the date mentioned
has there been censorship over the press
matter sent from Manila II also Is ex-
planned that the correspondents In the
Philippines were not informed Of the re-
movai Of the censorship but were left to
find IL out themselves, possibly In the ex-
pectat!on that some Of ;hem would con-
tinBe 10 complain IN which case the au-
thori,ies In Manila would have good
defense. while officials 81 the war de-
pafiment say thar Gen Otis acted OF his
own voiition in suspendlng the censorship.
there Is every reason 70 believe that AZ .
matter of fact. the restrictions ware re-
moved at ths suggestion OF the adm.nistra-
ton. and a direct result of the famous
round robin OF the Philippine correspond
efits.
