In view of the near approach of British
reinforceinents. Boer invasion of Cape Col
Sny could hardly be regarded very serious
ly.- There may, therefore, be another rea-
sen for the withdrawal and the stores des-
tined by repute for Queenstown may be in

be General Buffers intention to send on
Colonel Lord Paul Methuen's division COM

be intended of some of the stores of the
Third division, which in the handiest

PLAN AGREED UPON BETWEEN Eng
LAND AND GERMANY.
UNITED STATES SATISFIED
IS TO HAVE TUTLA, WITH THE HAR.
BOR OF PAGO-PAGO.
Terms Of the settlement Between
England and Germany Not Yet
Made PubIic-Not Known
Which One liz To
Retire.

LONDON, Nov G.-Although the exact
terms Of the agreement are still carefully
guarded, the Associated Press is able Ia
say that the Samoan question is practical
~ settled, and that the finaiities will take
place within few days, unless some un-
expected hitch occurs.
American control of Tutila island is con-
hrmed and agreed TO. while the United
States mas, 1t Is understood, signitied It's
approval OF the projected arrangements
between Germany and Great Britain. Re
Garding the details of the latter. the Brit
ish foreign office remains mute except
10 authorize the statement that none of
the recent surmiseS of the German press
nave correctly outlined the plan which
now seems sure of acceptance. 1t is also
emphatically denied that the United States
mas been in any way neglected in the ne
sotiations. II is pointed out that the Unit
ed States. having secured Tutila island.
with the harbor of Pago-Pago. obtained all
she expected or desired. but. though thor
oughly satisfied. she was kept conversan;
with and consulted about the negotiations
which proceeded between Germany and
Great Britain. Last week il was believed
that an impasse had been reached, and the
diplomats We're inclined to fear that no
settlement was attainable in the near fu-
ture- The sudden turn in the negotiations
and the overcoming of the apparently un-
surmountab!e obstacles created almost as
much surprise as qualification. OF course.
ii is still within the limits of possibility
that another and entirely unexpected con-
tingency may arise during the interim Of
the drawing up of the papers and sign
ing of them. But there is every reason TO
believe that an official statement will be
given out this week announcing the terms
of the settlement Of this long-standing in
ternational difficulty.
1t has been practically settled for some
time that either England or Germany was
TO surrender lis Samoan claims in eX-
change for compensation In some other
part of the world, but il is not known
which nation is to retire under the agree
ment just reached. A Berlin telegram yes
terday stated that Germany willing
to give up her Samoan rights in return
for the session by England OF the Gilbert
and Solomon islands and the British claims
in New Guinea.
