is quoted as saying that the captives

such fare much longer.

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT rs WILL
TT WILL NOT BE PRoBATED UN-
TIL ALFREDs RETURN.
No Information Will Be. Given to
Public-Cornelius, Jr., Has Not
Been Disinherited.

New York, Sept 16.-The will of Cor
nelius Vanderbilt will not be probated nor
its contents made public until young
Alfred Vanderbilt, the second son. can
reach home. He is now in the noun
tains of Japan. 1t will be four or five
weeks before he can arrive in New York
at the quickest.
This decision was reached today by the
members of the family and their lawyers
at a conference in Senator Depew's office.
These gentlemen agreed that as Alfred
Vanderbilt was one of the chief heirs to
his fathers estate. it would be far wiser
and more considerate of his interests to
defer probating the will until he could
be in New York.
So a cable message was sent to him tell
ing the young man to return to New York
with ali possible speed. This Cancelled a
previous cable message advising. that he
complete his tour around the world as his
presence six weeks after the funeral
would do no good.
What else was decided upon at the con-
ference was not divulged. Each of those
present left the Grand Central station
separately. All refused to say a word
save Mr.. Depew, who simply announced
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-17

that all action would be deferred till AL
fred Vanderbilt returned
The will is not to be filed for probate
until Alfred's return he said. None of
the provisions will be made public till the
will is 9robated."
The entire will and codicils are in Mr..
Vanderbilt'S own handwriting. He wrote
the original document several years ago.
submitting the rough draft to his lawyers
Several codicils were were added from
time to time. All in turn were revised by
the lawyer, that each might be in proper
legal form. Then they were returned to
Mr.. Vanderbilt, who is said to have copied
the entire will and codicils out again in
his own handwriting
1t is not. a long will. Mr. Vanderbilt had
very clear ideas about the division of his
vast estate and framed these ideas in
very. terse English which left no doubt as
to his intentions. He often told his law
yers that he did not wish his will crowd
ed with mass of legal verbiage.
Cornelius Vanderbilt jr.. has not been
disinherited because of his marriage to
Miss Grace Wilson against his fathers
wishes.

OFF FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
The Thirty-second Volunteers Leave
Fort LeavenWorth, Kansas.

Kansas City, Sept. 1.-the Thirty
second regiment recruited at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, passed through
Kansas City today, bound for the Phil
ippines The regiment has a strength
of 1853 enlisted men and forty-eight Of
ficers. and is booked to sail from San
Francisco on Sept. 20.
The soldiers arrived here about noon
in five sections over the Santa F'e, and
disambarked long enough to parade
the principal down town streets, which
were lined with cheering people. AT
a grandstand erected for the occasion
a set of colors was presented to the
regiment, and a band of ninety pieces

lowed and each soldier was given a

porters among the ultra conseTavtively
inclined.
President Kruger's rumored refusal
of the latest demands has lost him
many friends in England, and the pro-
Boer party has shrunk to small dimen-
sions.
The reported formal alliance between
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State has also done much to ALLEVIATE
the feeling of those Epglishmen inclined
to sympathize with the Transvaal, al
though it is scarcely believed the Or
ange Free State will take an active
part-more likely combining itself to
passive unrecognized assistance, as in
the war of 1880.
The selection of General Sir George
Stewart White to command the troops
in Natal meets with universal approval,
as also does the announcement that in
the event of war General Sir Redvers
Butler will take supreme command in

London, Sept. 16.-Sunday will be an
anxious day for Great Britain. The re-
ply of the Transvaal government, it is
known tonight, has been formulated
and is in the hands Of the British agent
at Pretoria. Furthermore, the wires at
the foreign office are busy with a long
dispatch from the British high commits
sioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred Mil
ner TO the secretary of state for the
colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, which is
being rapidly repeated to the latter's
Birmingham home. so the contents of
the Boer reply Will probably rest to-
night with Great Britain's colonial sec
rotary.
Unless South Africa is peopled with
false prophets, the Beers have either
evaded or detied what practically
amounted to an ultimatum from the
British cabinet From the tenor of
their recent communications to Mr..
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-17

Chamberlain, they could scarcely be
expected TO do otherwise. However, as
frequently pointed out in these dis
patches, this presumed action upon the
part of the Beers does not make war a
certainty though it does place the
British cabinet in a position where it
must take steps so aggressive that war
or utter iSnominious submission viii
be the only alternatives remaining to
the Transvaal.
This new phase of the crisis also
Eravely increases the probability that
the Beers will take time and diplomacy
by the forelock and laid Natal, con-
fiscate the mines, arrest the Uitlanders
for high treason, and otherwise resent,
while the British transports are in
midocean. what they believe is an at
tempt TO rob them of their indepan-
dence.
More Demands Coming.
If the course of diplomacy is not fore
shortened the British cabinet will meet
again ana formulate specific demands
far more sweeping than the last ones.
These viii be transmitted to Presi-
dent Kruger in the shape of an ulti-
matum. As the members of the cab
met are scattered throughout the coun-
try. it is improbable that a council
could be gathered till Monday night at
the earliest, and there is every reason
to believe the British government will
exhibit no undue haste in forcing Pres
ident Kruger's hand, for it is palpably
mere important to have $4,000 reinforce
ments on the scene Of action than gain
the gratitude of the importunate Out
landers, who for weeks have been cry
ing for immediate aggressive action.
The logic of such policy must be
equally patent to President Kruger. It
is hardly conceivable that he viii await
the arrival Of the British reinforce
ments before taking the initiative. If
he displays such hesitation he viii

moment that he intends to back down,
