MAY LOSE ANGELES.
Otis Unable to Garrison the Town

Otis Unable to Garrison the Town
In Sufficiently Large Numbers.
Manila, Sept Z, (yia Hong Kong, Sept.
S.)--Gen. Otis cannot spare enough men
to held securely the village of Angeles.
There are five miles of railway between
calumpit and Angeles which is un-
guarded by the Americans. The rebels
hs@ve been able TO come down to the
railroad from the foothills and DESTROY
thls railroad. Three of the five miles
nave been torn up by the Filipinos. The
road was very poorly built in the first
place and for over three weeks the
Americans have been at work repairing
the damage done by the insurgents in
the one nights raid
1t is the general opinion here that the
advance from San Fernando to Angeles
was more OF political than a military
move. The pressure IN the United
States was heavy and it was demanded
OF Gen. Otis that he should do some
thing TO epunteraet the sensation
caused by the publication of the corre-
spondenrs round robin, 1t is thought
that Gen. Otis knew that he could not
mold the new territory after he had cap
tured it.
Inc incompetent manner in which the
transports are being handled at Manila
IS costing the government more than
sI.eUe a day. There are no steam light
ers and 50 the big transports lie in Ma
mia bay for a long time before beng
unloaded. Merchant vessels use large
cascoss and with these facilities dis
charge their cargoes rapidly. The
government boats. however. do not
make use of the native boats.

A Warning 70 KRUGER

the Transvaal.

lily More Pacific.

London, Sept. 8, a. m.-The list OF
troops for service in the Transvaal, in
4 case Of war. is published this morning
Eight brigades are to go from England
All regiments will be brought up to
their full establishment by summonins
reservists.
When Sir Redivers Butler was first
offered the command the war office sug.
gested a force of 10000 men would be
ample. Gen. Butler refused to star,
with less than $4,000.
The list published today shows an ef-
fective fighting force of $4,000, and in
cluding the Indian contingent the force
Will doubtless reach $4,000 before war
begins.
These figures show the great change
in the attitude of the government
which evidently intends to make a GER
tainty this time.
The publication Of the list of troops
adds strength to the warlike rumors, al
though some members of the yolksraad
yesterday still thought Chamberlain
was only bluffing.
1t is impossible to deny the extreme
danger of the situation, owing to the
evaporation on both sides.
War with the Transvaal few weeks
ago would have been regarded by ma
jority OF the English people as crimi-
nal. Today a declaration of war would
hardly produce single protest, save
from the extreme little Englanders. y
The only chance of saving the situation
seems to be strong measures on the part
OF the British government. Any tenn
porarizing now must be fatal.
Yesterday, as cabled, the last Boer
dispatch leaves abundant room for
peaceful settlement If reason still pre-
walls. The results of the cabinet coun-
Gil today will probably confirm this
view, but 1t Is fair to say that the con-
servative papers this morning persist
In reading utter insubordination into the
last Boer dispatch, while the Daily Mail
in an editorial says:
Some people affect to see in the last
Boer dispatch symptoms of concilia-
tory and pacific disposition on the part
of the Transvaal government.
We do not share that view The dis
patch, in the first place, is an absolute
negation of British suzerainty, the
point on which this country must and
will at all hazards insist, while as re-
CARDS general grievances it's character
is SO vague, its wording 50 Indefinite,
that 1t affords opportunities for .unlim-
tied delay, and a further prolongation
of dangerous crisis"
AS pointed out yesterday, the Boer
dispatch does not deny British suze-
rainty. 1t only adheres strictly to the
London convention. Consequently, Ian
guage of this kind is inaccurate, but it
serves to show that the matter has al
ready gone beyond calm logic and
reached a state where avoidance Of war
will be almost miracle.

Dancing Rules Revised.

New York. Sept. s.-Dancing masters
have decided upon an important change
in the position of men toward women ir
round dances. Up to now a man has
taken womans right hand with his
left. 1t is decided to allow the man tc
have the hand hang loose at the side, sc
that his partner may hold her train
The official endorsement of this style OF
dancing was agreed upon at the annual
meeting of the American Society OF
Professors of Dancing in Lyric Hall.
The rest of the day was devoted to
trying new dances.
Among the new dances tried We're the
gavotte pompadour. by Adolph New
berger, of this city; the imperial three
step, by Oscar Duenweg. Of Terre
Hauts, Ind. and the Verona minuette,
by NJ. B. Gilbert, of Boston.
On Friday final decisions on new
dances will he made

To Divide the Mork

Washington, Sept. S.-Presdent Me-
kinney has been literally supplied with
Philippine information from civilian
sources Within the last two days. and
as result it is believed the stock of
Cen OTIS has taken distinct fall. This
may not mean his recall, but there is
good ground for the statement that

concern himself with administrative
duties exclusively.
1t is known that Chairman Schurman
of the commission presented to the
president vast amount of information
which bore rather heavily on Gen. Otis.
In fact, it is said the evidence presented

ed commands, would conduct the final

THE CABINET COUNCIL.
Tremendous Excitement in London
Great Interest in the Council
Seaaton

Tremendous Excitement in London
Great Interest in the Council
Session.
London. Sept. s.-The cabinet council
attracted greater public interest than
any meeting of the ministers for years
past. The war spirit was evident on all
sides and the generals were enthusias-
tically cheered as they appeared, the
crowd evidently understanding they
had been summoned to be in readiness
in event OF the ministers wishing their
advice. Several thousand persons as
semhled near the foreign and colonial
offices to witness the arrival of the
members of the council Chamberlain,
secretary of colonies. and Earl Setborne,
under secretary. were the first arrivals,
followed by Field Marshal Lord Wolse-
ley. commanderin-chief of the army:
Gen. Sir Redvers, slated for field COM
mand in the event of war with the
Transvaal. and Gen. Evelyn Wood, ad-
jutant general. The arrival of Sails
bury was the signal for tremendous
cheering. Next came Duke Devon
shire. lord president of the council; Rt.
Hon. Henry Chaplin, president of the
local government board. and Earl Halls
bury. lord high chancellor, We're noticed.
All nau arrived Dy p. m.
The first indication of a possible de-
cision Of the cabinet came from the
stock exchange. where the tone revived
on the report that the ministers had de-
cided not to send an ultimatum to the
Transvaal, but to insist that the Trans
vaal must agree to a conference at Cape
Town.
The cabinet council concluded at 3
this afternoon. The Associated Press
asked Hon. Walter Long president OF
the board of agriculture, If any conclu-
sion was reached. He said: "All can
say is we must have patience
The ministers came out laughing and
chatting, greatly contrasting with the
manner in which they went In.
Although the foreign Office has not
given out a statement, the general i'm
preston Is that no ultimatum will be
sent at present; that time limit will
be placed for conference at Cape
Town.
The short duration OF the council and
the early departure Of the military men
were taken to indicate that the situa-
ion was more pacific.

London, Sept S.-The Pail Mall Gaz-
cite says 1t can state with substantial
accuracy the result of the cabinet meet
ing, as follows: Chamberlain's dis
patch was found to contain q telling
exposition of the British case, with a
point blank refusal to entertain the
Boer proposition for England to relin-
quish suzerainty over the Transvaal
and a pertinent reminder that the offer
of joint inquiry into the franchise
proposals can not remain open indefi-
ditely. Though not an ultimatum in
form, the dispatch will be one in effect,
since it may be expected to contain a
strong hint that an answer will not be
accepted which is evasive or unfavor-
able in any essential condition.

which, according to rumors at Sioux
City, is liable to be closed-all because
there is too much prosperity and starch
production in the country. And the old
| National Distillery in Des Moines might
be investigated. There are plenty of
people here who believe the distiilery
vas closed because the trust agreed
that it was not needed in operation.
They say the trust and not prohibition
was responsible for the closing. There
fare plenty of other cases of the kind in
Iowa.
! And there is the plumbers association
of the state. # the Republican will call
on the attorney general of Iowa it will
likely find that he has complaints
against this organization, whose chief
officers live in Cedar Rapids. 1t is al
legged to be an iron-clad agreement for
the maintenance of prices and the prac-
teal elimination of competition.

Kruger Will Not Yield.

Pretoria, South Africa, Sept. ST
have given them my clothes,' said
President Kruger, in concluding an inn
pressive address to the volksraad yes
terday afternoon: "given them when
they have asked for them; / have given
my shirt when they have asked it; but
now they have asked for my life-the
independence of my country! That
cannot be. The issue must be left to
God"
All the speeches this afternoon We're
more moderate than in the morning,
and President Kruger himself advised
calmness. In his address he declared
that for many years the franchise had
been offered to British subjects resident
in the Transvaal. and the fact that they
have never accepted it was proof that
they did not want the privileges de-
manded: that these demands, in fact,
We're but subterfuge yelling designs
on the republics independence.
The atmosphere of Pretoria is electric.
The Beers will welcome peace if peace
may be had. They are calmly waiting
war If war is inevitable. but the burden
of insuring peace or the onus of pro-
voking war they have shifted to the
shoulders of the British colonial secre-
tary. The situation hangs now on Mr..
Chamberlain's reply to the latest Boer
communication, which amounts to a
reiteration of the demand for an abro-
cation of the suzerainty claim, rein
forced by withdrawal of the proposals
which have emanated from the Pretoria
government.
The legislative chamber was packed
yesterday, the debate in the volksraad
turning on the massing of British troops
on the borders of the Transvaal. Sharp
speaking was expected, and the debate.
full OF dramatic scenes and exclama-
tions of defiance, justified these expec-
tations.
