TREATED With DEFIANCE
The Beers Acceptance Will Not
Be Unqualified.
MUST MODERATEDEMANDS
A Band of Radicals Controls the Stu
alton in the Transvaal-Boers Are
Strengthening the Defences
Around Pretoria.

London, Sept. 15-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Times says: 1t Is
very doubtful whether an unqualified
acceptance of Great Britains demands
will be given"
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that Delcasse, the French foreign
minister, has directed the French con-
sui in the Transvaal to endeavor to
persuade President Kruger to accept
Mr.. Chamberlains proposal.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says:
THE members of the volksraad re-
ceived Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch de-
family to-day Thursday. Individual
members declare that Great Britain
must moderate her demands.
ION the other hand, rumor is cur
rent that President Kruger favors COM
pliance, and has even suggested that he
desires the irreconcilables to leave Pre-
toria and consult constituents, thereby
avoiding their opposition. The belief
is held in Johannesburg, and accounts
for the hopeful condition of the mar
ket, but the general public is pessi-
mistic."
The Times publishes the following
from johannesburg:
Mystery surrounds the attitude of
the Orange Free State. President
Steyns' silence in interpreted as show
ing an intention to support the Trans
yaa through, although his inclination
at present is on the side of peace. Pub
lie feeling is running high, and unless
President Kruger make an emphatic
announcement towards reconciliation
the majority of the Beers will newt
ably vote against any concessions be-
yond seven years franchise"
The Capetown correspondent of the
Daily News says:
"A thousand men are engaged in
strengthening the defenses of Pre-
toria. The bitches are being excavated
and earthworks constructed. 1t is re-
ported that both raads will s,djourn at
the end of the week to enable mem
bers to consult their constituents on
the question"

ENGLAND WAITING
For n Reply From the Last Dispatch to
Kruger.

London, Sept. Awhile the staff of
the foreign office will maintain contin-
uouS communication tonight with Mr..
Chamberlain at Birmingham, it is not
believed now that the result of the de-
bate in the volksraad will be received
before Friday.
Dispatches from Cape Town dated
midnight attach great Importance to
an article in the organ of the Afrikan-
der bund, which urges the Transvaal
government to renew it's offer regarding
a conference, declaring that there is no
reason why the Transvaal should not
accept a conference and calling atten-
ton to the fact that the word SUI
rainty' is not mentioned by Mr.. Cham
berlan and that therefore there is
nothing to indicate an obligation on
the part of either government to aban-
don it's views on the subject.
This article is understood to be the
outcome of an important Afrikander
caucus held to discuss the Chamberlain
note, and it is understood that the ar
gument has been fortified by strong
messages to Pretoria urging the volks-
raad to forego the suzerainty objection
and to concede the British propositions.
There Is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Hoffmeyer, the Afrikander leader,
has wired President Kruger to the same
effect and similar representations have
been telegraphed from the Orange Free
State,

Denver, Sept. 1.-THE Colorado vol
unteers We're welcomed home on their
return to the state capital to-day with
demonstration that atoned for the
lack of enthusiasm manifested when
the regiment departed from this city on
May IL, 1898, on it's journey to the Phil
ippines Bells, whistles, guns, cannon
and horns began sounding noisy well
come when the soldiers reached the de-
pot at 10 o'clock.
After receiving the greetings of rela-
tives, the volunteers fell in line and
were escorted by a procession to the
capitol through the streets lined with
masses of people waving flags and
shouting cheers. Public and private
buildings were handsomely decorated.
On the capitol grounds were assembled
thousands of school children, who sang
America" in chorus. An address OF
welcome was delivered by Governor
Thomas, who presented a new flag to
the regiment. Colonel Mccoy made an
appropriate response. Addresses of
welcome on the part Of the nation were
delivered by United States Senators
Wolcott and Teller, to which response
was made by Brigadier General Irving
Hale.
A banquet was served for the volun-
teers and during the remainder of the
day they enjoyed the freedom or the
town.

A SOLITARY DESPERATE
Held Up and Robbed the Lake.
-.a port Stage.
DIDN'T TOUCH THE MAIL
Made Off With the Express Box and
Made the Frightened Passen-
gers Dig Up Their
Loose Change.

Napa, Cal, Cept. 1.-THE Lakeport
stage was held up to-day by a solitary
highwayman, who made off with the
express box.
Inc scene of the robbery known as
desperate Bend" was an admirable
spot Tor the success of carrying out of
the highwayman's plans. The road
there runs through heavy underground,
ana coming suddenly around a curve,
the stage driver was confronted by a
masked robber. who covered him with
shotgun and ordered him to stop.
me passengers were then commanded
to dismount from the stage and were
drawn up in a row while the highway
man distracted the express box or
Wells, Fargo & Co., but left the United
States mail bag unmolested.
The highwayman then turned his at
tention to the row of eight frightened
passengers, whom he commanded to
depot on the ground their money and
valuables. Rev. C. F. Coy pastor of
the Methodist church at Mddletown.
one of the passengers, was returning
home from the annual conference Of
his denomination at Pacific Grove. He
handed the bandit IS, remarking:
Il am only a poor preacher, and that
is all I have"
Upon this statement true to the ira
ditions of his profession, the highway
man handed the minister back 81 in
change.
"All right. pard,' he said to the cler-
gyman. Here's one for luck"
Newton Stiff, an old resident of Mid
dletown, was another passenger. He
had considerable sum in his pocket,
but slipped the wallet inside his long
boot, giving the robber only the loose
silver in his pocket. -.
William Abbey, an invalid on his way
to Adams Springs for his health was
given back so cents of his enforced con-
tribution. In all, only about SIS in
cash was secured from the passengers.
in addition to watches, chains and
trnkets.
The robber then plunged into the
thicket which adjoins the road, and the
last heard of him was a report. which
probably indicated the blowing off of
the lock on the express box.
The hold-up was accomplished one
mile from the Mount st. Helena toll
house and Sheriff Dunlap of Napa coun-
ty was promptly notified. He started
at once with a posse in search of the
highwayman, of whom he has a good
description. Wells, Fargo & Co. state
that the contents of the treasure box
was inconsiderable.

1t to General Ludlow. The report Of
General Ludlow, Endorsed by General

Is THERE TO STAY.
The Situation of the Chinese In the
Philippines.

Philippines.
Washington, Sept. 14-The Manila
American, copy of which has been re-
ceived at the war department. discusses
the Chinese situation in the Philippines
and what it has to say becomes inter-
esting, in view of the order of General
Otis to enforce the Chinese immigra-
ton laws and Chinese exclusion act
against the Chinese in the Philippines
The paper says:
In the native inhabitants OF these
islands the Chinese long ago discovered
a kindred race, the climate suited him
and he found the country naturally
richer and less crowded than China.
Since then he has been here and as the
country cannot very we'll do without
him, it is safe to say he l. here to stay.
His sojourn in the land and his asso-
citation with the natives. modified his
ideas little. Most of the Chinese born
in the island have forsworn their allie
glance to the emperor of China. They
wear no queues and after living their
life here they have no desire that after
death their bodies should rest in the
soil of the "FlOwery Kingdom" Chi
nese have intermarried lately with the
Tagals and mestizos. and as a class
the Chinese meStiZOs have seemingly
more than held their own. Under the
Spanish regime many of them had &C
CURED wealth and received appoint
ments to important positions. To-day
there are lots of Chinese mestiZos in
the insurgent army and they are said TO
be the bitterest insurrectionists of all.
Most of the mestizos are of Catholic
faith and numerous Chinese have been
converted Granting that the Chinese
of the Philippines have already made
some progress, it is possible education
and changed conditions will do much
for their children. But the problem is
not one of posterity alone. The Chinese
of the present must be first considered.
