the effect that the fleet sailed for Manila
and returned few days later with the
vessels stripped of their guns and am

The purchasers agents and the native
crews of the vessels, on board the Ameri-

Zamboanga by the United States cruiser
Boston, and were instructed to await the
arrival there Of the United States gunboat

THE BOER WAR.

War in the Transvaal has come. In
spite of a strong belief widely enter
tanned both in England and America
that a way out would be found without
a resort to arms, hostilities have COM
menced. 1t looks as though there
would be no end to it until complete
and decisive and final victory at arms
has been secured In the nature of
modern warfare such a victory is only
possible in this struggle for the British
arms, unless there should be interfer-
ance from outside nations. The dura-
ton of the war therefore resolves it.
self simply into a question Of how long
it will take for Great Britain to get
enough men and munitions into South
Africa to crush the Beers. For though
the Beers are essentially q nation OF
soldiers, every man being a fighter, the

pirc leaves no question as TO the final
results.

A 16-year-old boy who is picking hops
in the ]. r. Broyles yard, near Fair
field, jokingly jumped into the bin of
the cooling house Wednesday last. He
managed to reach the side walls of the
bin, and by the aid of cleats on the wall
pulled himself out from among the
hops. Even then his body and his head
were under the hops, and he came very
near suffocating. When hops are
thrown loose into the cooling-house bins
they are worse to fall into than so

MOSS'SNAME POTENT
His Detective Arrested for
 "PerniCiOuS ACfiVity."
Sergt. WesferveIf, When He Lcarne d Who His Prisoner Realty Was Decided NOf 10 Lock Him Up. Hen Fined in Court.

New York, Aug 21.-Edward J. Reardon, a detective of the Mazet com mittee, attempted to arrest three burg lars early this morning and was near ly locked up by the police for per nic:ous activity.
 Reardon said this morning a, MT Moss office in the Bennett building:
 ''I was on my way home to No. 32i East Twenty fifth street, just after midnight this morning, when I saw three men fumbling at the doors of the saloon at No. 32O. They seemed to be acting suspiciously, and I watched them. They left Twenty fifth street, and were trying door at the corner of Twenty-eighth street and Second avenue, when I decided to have them arrested. I blew my police whistle and attacked them. Police man Schulka responded, and together we arrested them.
 At the East Twenty-second stree: station the sergeant in charge accused me of violating the law in using a po- lice whistle, and said he would lock me up for impersonating an officer
 T remarked that through using the whistle I had secured .he arrest of three men in the act of committing burglary, and suggested that I be aI- lowed to send for friend to prove my responsibility.
 you can't send from here said the sergeant. But I'm going to send you up 70 the East Thirty-fifth street station, and you can argue the matter out with the sergeant there
 T was bundled in the patrol wagon with the three burglars, and sent to the EaSrs Thirty-fifth street station. Sergeant WssterveIt, in command there, took no stock in my explana- tion, and decided to lock me up. I gave my pedigree and was searched.
 Then I asked permission to send for a friend. What friend?' asked Westervelt Frank Moss,' I answered.
 What do you know ofFra ak Moss 2 he asked. I'm working for him ad the Mazet committee. I'm one of their detectives
 'SWestervelt saw a light. He hesi- tated a moment, and then said: Well, you can go. Don't forget to be in YoTkville court in the morning.

ANSWER MEANS WAR
The South African Affair
 Getting White Hot.
President hrueGer in Effect Refuses Inc English Proposal of a Court of Inquiry to Look Info inc Causes for Dispute.

London, Aug. 21-There Is no longer any doubt that President Kru- ger has refused to submi.. to the de- mand of Mir. Chamberlain for the ap- pointmgnt of court elf inquiry. He may have done 50 automatically or hedglingly, but that answer is regarded by the British government as tanta- mount to positive refusal is now an established fact The colonial office is non-comm;:tal, but there are other evidences which amply justify the statement.
 The report that President Kruger has proposed new terms is somewhat verified by the guarded comment Of colonial office officials and the irri- tahility displayed there There is not the slightest doubt that they now be-
 ieve war is the only way to settle the controversy. Thsy would far rather have had a curt, defiant answer than the temporizing answer which the Boer president has sent them With the former Gres. Britain would have plain grounds for Q quick com mencement of hostilities. Under the which it is believed now exist aggressive action needs conaid- erable explanation to justify it in the eyes Of the world and the English mi norty, who still declare that war would be an outrage.
 However, if MT. Chamberlain has his way, it is believed President Kruger's counter proposals will meet with scant attention and unless the Boers com pletely back down, which is not likely, the crisis will quickly develop into war
