WHAT is 1T ABoUT7
Prominent Boer Officials Make Per-
tinent Statements.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle"
telegraphing at noon Sunday, says:
Il have seen the leading members
of the Executive of the Transvaal, who
desire through the Daily Chronicle
at the last moment, to ask what the
two kinds of nations are going to fight
about. They point to the fact that a
large number of Uitlanders of all ma
tionalities are arming in defense of
the republic They point to the unani-
nifty Of feeling in the Orange Free
State, which. they say, should make
England pause.
They aim at a union with England
like that of Scotland not Ireland, and
they urge that it will be war like
the war which lost England her Amer
lean colonies and that it will benefit
neither the English nor the capitalists.
The greatest excitement prevails
here. Thirty-six trains with armed
Burghers were dispatched yesterday
Saturday. amid terribly pathetic
scenes. Thousands of refugees, white,
Malays and Kaffirs, have gone to the
cape in open trucks. Strict orders
have been issued to the Boer COM
manders on the frontier to restrain
their men from firing The rains have
begun to fall and plenty of forage will
soon be obtainable."

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The special cor

The train occupied nearly twice its
usual time, owing to stoppages to al
low precedence to trains going with
Burghers to the front. The ma ssen
gers suffered great inconvenience, par
ticularly the women and children. be-
ing unable to get food. The men were
drenched with the rain in the open
trucks.
British and Dutch were being COM
mandeered when left and their goods
We're being seized. So far as I can

%o,OOO armed Beers, well horsed. at

Natal on Wednesday next and Of

certainly looks as though Natal V-o,,1d
be invaded in force.

WAR NOT OVER.

Soldiers VIII Not Be Discharged Till the
Peace Treaty Ratifications Have Been
Exchanged
Washington, February Sit was
said at the War Department to-day that
the decision respecting the status quo
in the Philippines and the restrictions
imposed on American operations there
also cCveres the question of the dis
banding of the army. There is quite
a large proportion of the increase of
the regular army that was mustered in
for the war" with the specific pledge
that on the return of peace these men,
although regulars and mustered in
nOminally for three years, would be
given their discharge at any time on
their own request. If advantage were
generally taken of the pledge by the
department it would seriously deplete
the American forces in the field. but
