Decisive IJlleralcts By Secretary
Chamberlain.
ENGLAND WILL NEVER co BACK
British Predom,oancs In TraEsva q,
Menaced BY Refusal Of Boers
to Redress Grievances.
ENGLAND WILL NEVER co BACK

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Replying TO vari-
Gus questions in the House OF Com
mons today. Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary OF State for the Colonies,
said no official confirmation had been
received Of the report that the Trans
vaal had declined to agree to a joint
| inquiry into the effect which the fran
| chise reforms will have on the Out
landers. Several regiments, he added,
were about to be dispatched to South
| Africa for the defense of Natal, in
response to the request Of the Natal
Government. and preparation was be-
ing made, for all contingencies.
| Later. replying to Mr.. 7. p. O'Con-
nor, Irish Nationalist member for the
Scotland division of Liverpool, Mr..
Chamberlain deprecated a resumption
OF the debate on the Transvaal situa-
tion. which, he pointed out. while
serious. still remains doubtful.
The Colonial Secretary added that he
sincerely hoped that the report saying
the inquiry proposal had been rejected
was untrue While he regretted the
necessity of answering Mr.. O'Connor,
II would be a fatal mistake to allow
the latter's views that war was en-
tirely needless, and that the Govern
ment ought to express willingness to
wait, maybe twenty-five years, for q
redressal OF the grievances of which
they complained, to be considered.
He added: "The representative opin-
ions of even the small minority In the
House of Commons, or anything but
the most insignificant minority in the
United Kingdom, on the Governments
policy, have been clearly expressed
We recognize the grievances Of thu
Outlanders, and have said that thes'
grievances are not merely themselves
serious cause for interpOsition, bu
are a source of danger to the whole o
South Africa. We say our predomin
ance Is menaced by the action Of tn
Transvaal in refusing to redress tn
grievances or give consideration to re
quests hitherto put in the most moder
ate language OF suzerain power. w
say that this state OF things cannot b
tolerated. We have put our hands t
the plow. and won't draw back. Wit
that statement propose to rest con
tent"
The additional troops ordered to b

New Movements in LuzOn.

The dispatches last week tod of the
occupation of Dagupan, on Lingayen
bay, at the north end of the railway
from Manila, and the landing of a
strong force at San Fabian, brisk ac-
ton with the insurgents, their expul-
sion from their entertainments and pur-
suit by the Americans. Two columns
are advancing from the south. Aguin-
aldo is hemmed in to the right and left

nue. of escape lies through the noun.
tains to the north. Dispatches printed
today explain what plans General Otis
is making to head off the fox if he sue
ceeds in making his way to the north
coast.
Every effort is being made to pre-
vent the slippery rebel from escaping
from the islands. The plans now be-
ing carried out, it is believed, will re-
suit in his capture, or he will be COM
PEELED to abandon his army and take to
the mountains for safety. His army
must inevitably be captured or be
broken up and dispersed, but if Aguin-
aldo himself is taken it is more likely
to be through The treachery of some of
his followers or through his voluntary
surrender. The Cagayan river men,
toned in the despa' ches is said to be
navigable many miles from its mouth
and the gunboats ascending it will be
able to shell Aguinal1o's line of march
SHOULD he descend its banks toward
Apart. The country through which
the insurgents escape to the north
would be made is thus described:
Cagayan river is about a third of mile
wide at the entrance. The coast to the east,
ward is fiat, and long range of mountains
runs in a northeasterly direction to Cape
Engsne, near Apart. This ridge is the
most important in the whole Philippine
archipelago, and in some places rises to a
height OF nearly 900 feet. This mountain
range, which extends distance of over
200 miles parallel to the coast and to the
river CagayaD, is expected to prevent the
escape of Aguinaldo to the coast on the
east Of Luzon. The range is about six miles
from the coast and it extends almost to the
river Cagayan. To the west of the river
are other mountain ranges which are al
most impossible for any large body of
troops, and this condition encourages war
department officials to believe that the
result of the plans as mapped out by Gen.
Otis will effect either Aguinaldo's capture
or the disintegration ( his forces
Information is received at the de-
partment which it says confirms pre-.
vious reports that the Filipino army
has been held together in a great meas
ure by assurances from Aguinaldo that
rebel sympathizers in the United States
would be able to prevent continuance
of the war. The result of the recent
elections, the officials surmise, has
changed his mind and be has deter
mined to get away from the islands, if
possible, and abandon his army as soon
as he gets the opportunity.

Some Individual Opinions.

The comments of representative men
in different parts of the country on the
result of the election on Tuesday last
are interesting as further indication
of the judgment of the country on the
leading issue of national politics.
Senator Kyle of South Dakota said of
the campaign in his State: "rhe issue
was the support of the administration
and expansion, and the result was an
emphatic endorsement of the admins
tration and its policy in the Philip
pines"
representative Grosvenor, of Ohio,
declares that sit is his honest opinion
that even before Congress meets, the
instruction in the Philippines will be
ended, and the situation be such as to
allow the President to turn the matter
over to Congress for legislation. With
the downfall of Aguinaldo will end all
this talk of the so.called imperialistic
movement. The elections have already
shown the weakness of the auti-expan-
sion policy, and l do not think the
Democrats will dare to go to their ma
tional convention and declare against
expansion in the face of this years
elections. BY that time anti-expan-
sion will be so dead that even the Dem
ocrats will not try to revive it,
Senator McCumber, of North Dako-
ia says: Expansion in North Dakota
doesn't mean Imperialism and big
standing army, 1t means development
of trade. We want, of course, an
army of sufficient strength for an i'm
portant nation" Representative Bar
ham of California is of the opinion that
"the President and his policy have the
approval of the majority of the people,
aud the result of the elections makes
this certain, if it was not so before,
that Mckinley and Bryan will run
against each other again and Mckinley
will defeat him easily."'
OF the result in Ohio, which he
played 80 important a part in bring
ing about, and of the general result
Senator Foraker says: at was a vic
tory for the administration, and will
greatly strengthen President McKin-
ley, and in that way have decided eff
feet upon Congress, and the whole
country. Prosperity will continue and
nobody will think of any other Repub-

lican than Mckinley as our candidate
for the presidency in 1900. Changes
in the political situation will come, no
doubt, within the next twelve months,
but the probabilities are that they will
strengthen the Republican party. The
most likely changes will be the sup
preston of the instruction in the
Philippines, the enactment of the nee
essary legislation to reform and improve
our monetary system, to restore our
merchant marine, build an oceanic ca
nal across the Isthmus, etc. These are
all great measures, to which the Amer
lean people are already committed, and
the Democratic party cannot well afford
to oppose them. Yet, except in the
opposition to such measures, the Dem
ocrats will be without any important
issue. The Democratic party seems to
be bottled up, as General Butler was at
Bermuda Hundred"
The admission by two prominent
Democratic Senators, Gallery OF Louis
lana and Morgan of Alabama, that
anti expansion was killed and the re-
election of President Mckinley prac-
tcally assured by the State elections, is
significant. 1t shows their ability to
properly gage the sentiment of the
country, even when 1t is directly
against the party to which they belong.

The Situation in the Philippines.

The recent dispatches from Manila
tell of the establishing of a new base of
operations on Lingayen bay and the
vigorous beginning by General Whea-
ton of the new campaign from that po-
sition. Lingayen bay is about midway
between Manila bay and the north end
OF Luzon. There is the northern ter.
minus of the railway from Manila.
From that point ranges of high noun.
tains cross he island from shore to
shore. These are north of the position
of Aguinaldo's army. High mountains
on the east and west coasts hem him IN
and south of him are the American
troops and the line of defences running
across the island from Manila. Agui-
naldo's only chance of escape from the
situation in which the recent move
ments have placed him is by eluding
General Wheaton's army, climbing the
mountains to the north and escaping
into the tobacco regions of the north
part of the island. Persons familiar
with the topography of the island ex-
press the belief that the insurgent chief
cannot pass this mountain barrier, and
that in the course of the next few
weeks his army will be run down and
