London. Sept. 2.The Standard and

gram from its johannesburg office,
dated yesterday. saying German
corps, 800 strong. had been formed to
cooperate with the Beers in the event
OF q war with Great Britain. The dis
patch adds that the Beers could mobil-
ise 10000 men in three days, while the
Orange Free State could muster 10000
in the same period. It must not be for
gotten that these statements are from
an excessively pro-Boer course.
It is generally believed the critical
stage in the negotiations has been
reached and warlike rumors prevail.

Warrington to Watch Develop-
ments.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Actlon has been
taken by the state department for the
protection of Americans and their inter-
ests in the Transvaal in case of war be-
tween Great Britain and the Boer re-
public. Instructions were sent by
Secretary Hay to Consul Charles Z.
Macrunl. stationed at Pretoria, direct
ing him to vigilantiy watch develop
ments In the situation and their effect
upon American citizens and their inter-
ests and to provide them with all
necessary protection in case conflict
should place them in danger. These in
structions were sent partly upon the
representation made to Secretary Hay
yesterday by Mr.. Seymour. of New
York, who represents an aggregation of
American interests in South Africa
The officials understand that the thou
sand Americans in the Transyaal
would like this government to join with
Great Britain in securing Justice for the
uitlanders. The department has been
informed that number of Americans
In the Transvaal signed the recent PEE
tltion to Queen Victoria.
In view OF the fact that Americans
would be benefited equally with the
subjects OF Great Britain IL President
Kruger's government should grant the
demands made, there Is no question
that the United States sympathizes
with the attitude assumed by Great
Britain. though 1t is averse to interfer-
ing one way or the other, especially az
the London government seems deter
mined to either effect the reforms or an
mex the Transyaal. Secretary Hay has,
therefore. contented himself with in
structing the consul to watch the stu
alton and provide all possible protection
for Americans and their interests. It Ia
pointed out that the consul at Pretoria
has almost as extensive diplomatic
powers in that state as minister. so
that Mr.. Macrum has authority to
make direct representations to the Boer
government in case he is advised that
Americans or their interests are In
trouble.

by a unanimous vote, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, The Union Veterans Union
at Its encampment recently held in Des
Moines, as body took high grounds as
Wholesale critics against our national
and state administrations. and in an
|unwarranted manner passed a series of
resolutions boldly denouncing our Com
rade President William Mckinley for
his conduct of the war; Secretary Of
Agriculture Hon. James Wilson, be-
cause of some personal differences be-
tween him and the leaders of said or
der; and bitterly condemning our hon
orable governor, Leslie NJ. Shaw, for his
recommendation of ]. Rush Lincoln as
brigadier general in the Spanish Amer
lean war for humanity; therefore be it
Resolved. By Allison Post No "a, c..
A. r., department. of Iowa, that we pos
itively and soundly denounce all such
actions and public utterances' by any
body of men enjoying the protection Of
our flag as American citizens and
equally sharing in the rich blessings of
cially do we deeply deplore the fact that
such unwarranted sentiments should be
thus publicly expressed in this hour of
national trial by comrades who so re-
Gently were compelled, while maintain
ing the honor of our flag, themselves to

rebels in the rear. While we realize
that our brave boys now at the front

tarded in their tireless efforts, and the
enemy finds new encouragement each
day In the magnified reports of dissen-

their very names should prove the
staunchest supporters Of our flag at
home and abroad.
Resolved, That we as a post hereby
most heartily approve the wise course
of our president in his able, discreet
and humane conduct Of the war with
Spain and the Philippines and deem it
one of the most timely acts of discre-
ton and wisdom on the part of any ad-
ministration OF state or nation in
recommending and appointing such able
and patriotic men as Fitzhugh Lee,

the high position of trust in the conduct
of the war and thus doing more than

THE TEXT ISSUED.
Chamberlain Gives Out Kruger's Re-
plY for Publication

London, Sept. 2.-Last evening the
secretary Of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, issued the text
OF the Transvaal dispatches of Aug. 1s
and Aug. 81, and OF the reply of the inn
perial government on Aug. 49, The pub
lication is accompanied by note en-
phasizing the advisability Of making
the correct version known, owing to
the fact that an incorrect version has
been published in Pretoria.
The Transvaal dispatch Of Aug 19.
contains the proposals regarding the
franchise. which go upon the assump-
tion that Great Britain will agree that
the present intervention does not con-
stitute a precedent, and will allow the
suzerainty question to drop.
The dispatch OF Aug. q makes the
proposed concessions expressly condi-
tional upon Great Britain's undertake
ing not to interfere in the future affairs
OF the Transvaal, not to insist upon
further assertion OF the existence of
suzerainty, and to agree to arbitration.
The reply of the imperial government,
dated Aug. %. declares that Great Brit
ain considers the proposals put forward
az alternative to those Of July 81, as
sumes the adoption In principle OF a
1TducHlSe Wulcu VIII not De nampereo
by conditions impairing its usefulness
and which will secure Immediate repre-
sentation.
With respect to intervention, the i'm
perial note says that the government
cannot debar themselves from their
rights under the conventions, nor divest
themselves of the obligations of civil
ICED power to protect its subjects
abroad from justice.
The note concludes by reminding the
Transvaal there are matters which the
grant Of political franchise will not set
tie and which are not the proper sub
jects OF arbitration. These, the note
declares, it Will be necessary to settle
concurrently with the questions already
under discussion, and they will form.
with the question OF arbitration, proper
subjects for the proposed Cape Town
conference.
The pretoria version of the imperial
reply was that Mr.. Chamberlain was
unable to consider the Transvaal's pro-
posals as an alternative to joint COM
mission OF inquiry.

PLANNING TO PUNISH BRIG ANDS.
General Otis in Contemplation of
severe Measures.
Manila, Sept. 2.--Preparations are be-
ing made to infict severe punishment
upon the brigands who for some time
have been causing much trouble in the
island of Cebu. These robbers, under
the guise of insurgents, have taken ad-
vantage of the situation to commit all
sorts of depredations, and it has finally
been decided that the time has arrived
to put an end to their operations
Heretofore Gen. Otis has been inclined
to leave the islands in the lower part of
the archipelago practically alone until
the insurgents in the island of Luzon
We're conquered. His idea was to sim
ply hold those islands, without carrying
on any military operations until Agui-
naldo's insurrection was quelled, ard
then to devote his attention to Cebu
and the other islands in the south.
The pseudo-rebels took advantage Of
this plan and made themselves danger
Gus nuisances. They have intimidated
many of the peacefully inclined inhabi-
tants by threatening to assassinate
them, and, in addition to much spoil,
they have thus gained considerable ac-
lcessions to their bands. So extensive
have their operations become that they
have now succeeded in paralyzing the
/ business of the entire island. Nom
interference with their lawless proceed
ings added to their boldness. and, think
ling that the Americans We're too weak
to resent their acts, they recently have
had the hardihood to assume the of
fensive toward them. They have att
tackled small accommodating parties and
| in the fighting that followed two Amer
| leans We're wounded.

Washington. Dec 4.-The opening
week of the session In the house
promises 90 be crowded with stirring
events Al the very threshold Of the
session will come the contest over the
admission OF Representative-elect
Roberts. OF Utah. and later In the
week the house will plunge into an i'm.

the time which will be consumed iu
the disposition OF the Roberts case the

quires several hours. probably will be

dent Hobart's death will be made
probably after the Roberts case is
referred 20 committee. and the house
will adjourn out of respect TO his mem
0ry. The drawing of seats and the
reading of the presidents message will
occupy tomorrow.
While the session promises TO be
upon the whole a busy one iu the sem

marked by considerable lethargy. In.
deed, il would be exceptional il any
actual work should be done. Today
the new senator's will be sworn In, but
beyond this nothing will be done
Ordinarily the presidents message Is
received on the first day Of the ses.
sion. but its receipt will be postponed
for a day out Of respect TO the memory
