KRUGER'S STRINGENT MEASURES

Pretoria, September 1.-The diplomatic agent, Conyingham Green, has made a rep resentation to the Transvaal government regarding the recent arrest of MT. Pake- man, editor of the Transvaal Leader, and the government is sending a reply
 President Kruger has issued a notice warning Boers who intend to go shooting beyond the River Limpoo. which forms for many miles the northwest and north limit of the Transvaal, that they will be severe ly punished unless they first obtain permis- sion from the local authorities.
 The tension remains high pending the re- eeipt of MT. Chamberlains dispatch II is asserted on excellent authority that the Transvaal government, with a view of keeping the mining industry going has de- cided to protect it in every possible way.
 The Men Win Be Protected
 As a first step the government has noti- fled the Raand companies that their men will receive protection as long as they re- main peaceful, and should war unfortu- 'nately occur, the men Will be given a req sonable time to leave the country If they desire.
 It is officially announced that the article in the gold law about the confseation of claims and mines, belonging to people con- vlcted of treason, or conspiracy against the state, which was last year eliminated, will be re-enforced.. The article also gives the government power to order that the mines be worked, and provides that if this in- struction is disregarded the government may work them through its agents.

THE BUSH NEGROES
 OF DUTCH GUIANA Descendants of Fugitive Slave Re- lapse Into Savagery WAR WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS Inhabitants of the Goejaha Country Poisoned the Fish in Creek
 and an Uprising Was
 the Result
WAR WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS

Kingston, Jamaica, September 5-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press)-The ',bush negroes of Surinam, Dutch Guiana, have just been calling attention to them selves in a rather sensational exhibition of savagery, according to a newspaper pub lished at Nickerie, in that colony. This people are today what the Marons of Ja- maica were a century ago, with this diff ference-that they are the descendants of fugitive slaves, who have completely lapsed into savagery, making Goejaba and the other territories occupied by them counter parts of equatorial Africa. The Dutch gov erument long ago concluded to let them alone.
 The trouble that has just brought them into prominence grew out of fishing dis pute. Some neighbors of the Goejaba com munity poisoned the fish in creek that appears to have been common to both par ties The Goejabans thereupon went on the warpath, but apparently got the worst of 1t, for their village was burned and they lost six warriors killed and many wounded. It Is not improbable that other advices will bring further details of general scrim- mage in that district.
 The incident is important as furnishing the Dutch authorities pretext to inter- vene and bring the natives under subjec- ton to the laws of the colony, whose peace they occasionally menace. AS an ethno- logical study illustrating the possibilities of the negro when left entirely to himself. these 'sbush negroes" have perhaps not had the attention they deserve.

 SMOLDERING IN PARIS
The City Is Quiet, But the Latent Fires of Discomfort Will Burst
 Forth in a Short Time.

Paris, September n.-Except for slight street disturbances tonight, Paris has re- mained unexpectedly quiet, but this con dition of affairs is not likely to continue The long, heavy rain of yesterday, com bined with the fact that the leaders of the opposing parties were all at Rennes, pre- vented any organized demonstration. Then, too, the general public was delighted with the verdict as confirming the Chose Jugge Any way, they are beginning to see the want of logic in conceding "extenuating circumstances to a convicted traitor, a concession which excites doubt as to the strentgh of the case against Dreyfus.
 Moreover, public opinion is being sobered by reading comments of the world at large and by the prospect. however remote, that the exhibition will be boyeotted which would mean a loss of millions to the coun- try.

 There is little doubt that the trial of the Derouledists next Monday, at which it is dSStIlSu SeHSdtlOndl eNlQence Will De ueNel- oped, and the reopening of the chamber of deputies will be signals for fresh troubles. At present both parties are talk ing breath, but the latent animosities are undiminished.
 It is estimated that last years proceed ings have cost the Dreyfus party at least 15OO.OOO francs. They do not intend to let matters rest, and rumors are revived of the impending arrest of General Mercier He declares that he does not care what hap pens, being quite satisfied that he has done his duty.
 It Is understood that President Loubet opposes such an extreme course as prose- cutting Mercer or the other generals. He is rather inclined to a concliatory policy, extending to a pardon for Dreyfus.
 M. Demange has been blamed for con- ceding so many points in his speech, but it appears that he did so in the hope of win ming over a wavering judge, who, however, finally joined the majority on condition that the verdict would be accompanied
