Interview with K ,p 2 sr .

MANCHESTER, ENG Sept. The Guardians special correspondent at Pretoria, Q well known writer on social economics and of anti-impe- rialistle teBdeneies, cables to his paper an interview has had with President Kruger Of the Transvaal Republic. He quotes him as saying he has always sought to induce foreigners 10 the Transyaal to un- dertake citizenship, out that they had tried to get it's privileges with out accepting It's burdens.
 Continuing, President Kruger said Tn 1881, when numbers could have taken burghership, they chose to register as British subjects. Pro- testing in 1895 against being con- mandered for the Karfr war, Sir Henry Loch (now Baron Henry Loch), who was governor of Cape Colony and high commissioner of South Africa, 1899 90, represent ted that they did not wish to become burghsrs and so the raad exempted them.
 The correspondent adds that he also interviewed Gen. Joubert, commander in.chief of the Transyaal forces, who took a gloomy view of the situation, expressing his con viction that Mir. Chamberlain the British colonial secretary, had chosen the franchise, believing that the Boers might concede other matters they would stand out on this and thus furnish the casus belli, which Mir. Chamberlain wanted.

BISBEE, AriZ., September 15.-Another
chapter has been added to the cowboy

causing the killing of a Mexican officer by
guards for assisting in the liberation Of an
American cowboy named Franco, who was

tested, but was made to do guard duty at

TO ADVISE THE PRESIDENT.


1t is said at the War Department that the
two civilian members of the Philippine COM
mission remaining in Manila, Messrs. Den
by and Worcester, are to return to the
United States to advise the President re-
spectinS the very attest aspect of affairs
IN the islands. in order that he may use
the Information in his annual message to
Congress. 1t is regarded as essential that
Congress shall have before it as full and
accurate information as it is possible to
obtain, in view of the necessity it will be
under of leglSlatlng the subject of the
government and the future of the archi-
pelago. There is an intimation conveyed
that the adyiceS brought by President
Schurman and Senator Beveridge and other
persons recently returned from Manila are
rot at all points in strict accord though
the items of divergence are not known be-
yond the White House.
However, it is so said that as Admiral
Dewey is nearing the United States the
opportunity to have a meeting of the Phil
lpplne commission, of which he is a mem
Der, is one that should not be lost and the
report that may be expected to sum up
their work will be Indispensable to Congress
IN It's e1ortS at legislation for the islands.
No statement can be had officially as to
the future OF the commission, but it is not
regarded as probable that it will return
to the is ands, at least not without a con-
Siderable change in personnel. 1t is certain
that Admiral Dewey will not care to go

President Schurman cannot do SO because
of his university duties. The recall of
Messrs. DENLY and Worcester will leave
Gen. Otis the sole representative of the
commission in the Philippines, and it Is
suggested that the absence of the full! COM
mission may conduce to a speedy termina-
ton of the insurrection, because the rebels

tunity to halt our military operations at
critical points in the campaign by specious

DAVITT ON DREYFUs CASE.
Irish Leader Criticises English SYM
unthX for the Hrisouer.


LONDON, September 15.-The papers are
still flooded with Dreyfus letters the most
remarkable today being from Mr.. Michael
Davitt. the Irish nationalist member of par
lament, and the Rev. Hugh Price Hughes,
editor of the Methodist Times.
Mr. Davitt says English sympathy for
the prisoner Is entirely due to the fact that
Dreyfus is rich Jew instead Of a poor
one. and to the desire to injure a civil ma
ton.
NO absolutely innocent man." continues
Mr.. Davitt. was ever convicted twice in any
civilized country by jury of his peers.
No civilized country could produce a con-
spiracy Of men educated. cultured and re-
sponsibe. like the French military chiefs,
to stoop to the baseness and infamy of
p citing to rum an Insignificant petty Off
Ger. The supposition is too monStrous to
be entertained by any mind unwarped by
anu-French feeling.
Maybrck? Your lord chief justice is said
to believe her innocent. So 90 many eIni-
nent EngliShmen and tens of thousands of
Americans. Why has she not had a sec
ond trial If innocent? She has suffered
ten times more than Dreytus could suffer
She is aAAmerican citizen abandoned more
or less by the press and public opinion of
her, which can repeat the London-phrased
insults to France for the alleged miscar-
riage of justice but which do not have a
word of protest or of reproach against
England which refuses to listen even to
the petitions of mercy addressed by their
unfortunate countryWoman British jail-
ers"

Gen. Otis Cables That They Will he
Needed when the Campaign Opens.

General Otis has cabled Adjutant General
Corbin asking for additional staff officers
for service in the Philippines. He says
that there not enough there at present
and when the additional troops arrive the
others which he requests will be needed.
He asks for one additional judge advocate
general two assistant adjutants general,
two inspectors general, eight Quartermas-
ters nine commissaries of subsistence and
two engineer officers. The adjutant general
has called upon the heads of these different
bureaus to designate officers to fill the re-
QUESTION which General Otis has made. In
some of the bureaus it is very hard to Sc
cure more officers for active duty. Several
are on detached duty. and some are not in
good health. The officers called for will
be sent, however, as the Importance of
having a full complement of staff officers
on hand before the next active campaign
begins is recognized by the War Depart
