many acres of the park bare. The ex-

POSSIBILITIES STILL DISTANT
England and Trarsvaal Far from Hav-
 ing Scrap

London, October 7.-So far as the facts go the commencement of actual hostilities between Great Britain and the Transvaal seems no nearer, although it must be ad- mitted that a new element of danger has arisen in the repatriation continued throughout the British colonies in South Africa by the stories of brutal treatment of refugees by the Boers. Whether these reports are correct or not the reports of outrages upon women and children are having their effect and are being accepted in many quarters hitherto incredulous, as confirming the antfcipations of the sav- agery that will mark the progress of the war.
 The dispatches from the front are mostly concerned with the movements of troops. There are several reports that the Boers are increasing their restlessness under re- straint and because of imperfect provision made for their welfare. It is said that they have threatened to either raid or to return to their homes. President Kruger, how ever, appears to have reiterated his orders commanding the exercise of restraint. The Boers and British are so close together along the western frontier of the Transvaal that their patrols meet nightly.

AMATEUR PIRATES.
Rufians Capture a Steamboat in New
 York Harbor.

New York, October With the national colors "union down. and the Union Jack at half mast, the iron steamboat Georgi- ana, hailng from Philadelphia, this after noon sailed slowly up the battery from the narrows with a story of piratical robbery, riot and violence. The boat was practical ly in the hands of gang of ruffians and card sharks when it sailed away from the battery ostensibly for the yacht races, at 11:3O o'clock. The sharpers used violence and intimidation and ran against impro- vised vigilance committee, which nearly lynched the captain of the craft, threw the gamblers and roulette tables overheard and chased the gamblers into the barroom. Then it was that the vigilance committee put up the signal of distress and put hard aport back to the battery.
 Twelve men were arrested on her arrival as causing the riot Every device known to the gambler was in operation and out of operation after the row ceased
 Captain c. A. Norton, a one-armed vet eran of Hartford, Conn.,, went to the cap tain of the ship and demanded that he take the people to the races "l cannot do it," the captain is reported to have said.
 "The coal has given out and the pipes have bursted. The boat is in charge of gamblers who chartered her, and I can do nothing unless they say so."
 Captain Stercks left the deck then and went down into the hold, hiding himself un- til the boat reached the battery. Captain Norton then called for assistantce from the passengers and guard of fifty passen- gers was organized and took stand fore and aft on the boat and hoisted a Union Jack half mast and flew the United States flag with Union down. A fight between the vigflantes and the gamblers then ensued. The gamblers demanded that the signals of distress and assistance be hauled down and tried to fight their way to the flag poles. All the passengers on board took hand in the fight and forced the gamblers back, handling some of them very roughly. Women tainted on all sides of the ship. Men shouted themselves hoarse in the ef- fort to attract passing craft.
 Captarn Norton, with a brigade then threw all the paraphernalia overheard after a hard scuffle with the owners of the games. Then the pilot was ordered to head for the battery. The police had been ad- vised of the stirring times aboard the Georgiana, and a large force met the steamer. Thousands of persons gathered about the pier. The police arrested twelve men, including the captain and pilot, and they were lodged in jail, charged with dis orderly conduct.

 AguinaIdo's Proclamation
 Aguinaldo, In a proclamation announcing the release of American prisoners and au- thorizng Filipino soldiers in the northern province to return to their homes, says: "In America there Is great party that in slsts upon the government recognizing Filipino independence. That party will compel the United States to fulfill the pro- mise made to us in all solemnity and good faith, though not put into writing.
 Democrats His Friends
 '"Therefore we must show our gratitude and maintain our position more resolutely than ever We should pray to God that the great democratic party may win the next presidential election and imperialism fail in it's mad attempt to subjugate us by force of arms. There are some Americans in the islands who have joined us, because they disapprove a war of what MT. Atkin- son calls criminal aggression. When offer ed a chance to return to their own camp they declined''
 Throughout the proclama ton Agunaldo denounced 'the imperialism policy" in- stead of Americans" in former docu- ments He calls the world to witness that the Filipinos have not broken 'the alliance made with the Americans through Admiral Dewey and the United States consuls at Hong Kong and Singapore" The people on seeing the American prisoners cried out 'We don't want war against the United States. We only defend our independence against the imperialists The sons of that mighty nation are our friends"

 MAY BACK DOWN Dispatches from TranSVaal Indicate Such
 To Be the Case. BOERS ARE GOING HOME
They Have Abandoned All Idea of InYad-
 ing Natal.
EXCITEMENT AT DURHAM ABATES
The Retirement of the South Africans Is What the British Expected as Their Commissariat Was
 Very Defective.

London, October 7.-Most important news comes from the Transvaal tonight which, if true, probably indicates that the South African republic is about to yield, or in any case that the Boers have abandoned all idea of invading Natal. The news is comprised in a eablegram from New Cas- tie, Natal, which says that farmers who arrived there today from Buffalo river state that the Boers are returning to their homes leaving patrols along the river. The commander still remains on the state bor- der. The dispatch also, adds that the feel ing at New Castle is that the Boers do not intend to attack that place, and that the evacuation of the town was premature.
 A dispatch from Durban also states that the excitement there has abated, owing to the Boers holding back from the frontier. This retirement of the Boers is what the British authorities haxe expected, as their defective commissariat would prevent them border Telegrams received here largely have made frequent reference to the scar city of forage and supplies in the Boer Laagers and have stated that many of those in camp were inclined to strike out for their homes unless active operations were undertaken immediately. The dis patch from New Castle looks as though they had done as they threatened and had abandoned the idea of fighting. Meanwhile further troops from India, with two feid pieces, have arrived at, Durban and the men and material were forwarded to Lady Smith instantly. George Stewart White, V. C., who will command the British forces in Natal, has arrived and landed. He was greeted by large crowd. Gen. Sir William SNmOns. second command.
