Philippines.
ITHACA, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Cemmis-
sioner Jacob G. Schurnan has reached
Ithaca. Since leaving Manila he has,
he says, steadily refused to discuss
Philippine affairs although he has been
besieged by reporters everywhere. How
ever, he now makes the following state
ment for the Associated Press:
"The United States, having assumed
sovereignty over the Philippine islands
by virtue of treaty of peace with
Spain, the chief executive of the repub-
lie is engaged in establishing that SOW
ereignty. The issue today is not COM
mercial one, although the natural re-
sources of the Philippine islands are of
great value and want only American
capital for their development. Nor is
the question one of political expedience
or party principles. although in its col
lateral branch there may be aspects
upon which political parties may prop
erly divide, but the question today is
neither one of commercial advantage
nor of partisan politics. 1t is purely
moral question. The vital issue is the
honor Of the nation, the protection of
loyal Filipinos and the fulfillment of
our Obligations to the nations of the
world involved in our acceptance of
sOVereignty,"

Civil War In Cape Colony Predicted II
Host,lities Begin.
CAPE Town, Aug. 22.-Sunday was
observed throughout the Orange Free
State and Cape Colony with humilia-
ton, prayer and sermons advocating a
peaceful solution of the crisis. Mr..
Smyttler, leading Dutch Reform
preacher here, held forth on the close
ties uniting the Cape Dutch to those of
the Transvaal, which, he added, were
members of the great Afrikander FAM
lily. If war was declared, he said, Great
Britain would commit a heinous crime
before God and man, resulting in civil
war in Cape Colony.
There was evidence of growing un-
easiness at Johannesburg. Great crowds
gather at the railway stations, express
ing disapproval at the departures tor
Cape Colony and Durham, Natal.
According to Afrikander reports the
Transvaal's reply is counter proposal
of a five years retrospective franchise
in the election of president and on
increased representation. It is said that
the suggestion is made to submit all
other differences to arbitration.

"With an efficient force of, say $4,000

opposition to the administrations policy
in the far east did more to encourage
Aguinaldo and his followers than any
thing else. However, this is an event of
the past and must be considered as
such.
"There remains but one thing to do;

Fighting Spirit Of tho Filiptnos Said to

MANILA, Aug. 10, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 23.-The Filipino rebels appear to
retain much more of fighting spirit
than might be expected after their re-
cent San Fernando experiences and
General Lawton's drubbings in the
South.
After giving up San Fernando with
feeble struggle, they entrenched them
selves at Angeles, working for several
days and impressing noncombattants
into the work, thus saving the armed
men for the fighting. They engaged
Lieutenant Colonel Smiths regiment
warmly for four hours, making one of
the most stubborn resistances of the
campaign. But the Americans are in
debted to the usual poor craftsmanship
of the Filipinos as we'll as their strategy
for their small losses.
In the province of Cavite, where it
was supposed the rebels had been scat
tered and demoralized beyond recupera-
tion, they have assembled an army of
several thousand men, distributed
among the important towns from the
lake to the bay.
Dispatches Wore Censored.
Of their operations, the Associated
Press correspondent was permitted to
send only an inadequate dispatch, die
tated verbatim by Major General Otis.
The censor writes stereotyped official
phrases and adjectives into the dis
patches, tending to magnify the Ameri-
can operations and to minimize the op-
position.
General Otis says newspapers are not
public institutions, but private enter
prises, and the correspondents are only
here on suffrance.
All reports from the rebel territory
agree that the scarcity of food is in
creasing add that the rebel command
ers at Aparri and other points refuse to
obey Aguinaldo's order in regard to
closing the ports held by the rebels
against American ships and say that
any ship bringing stores will be well
coined. Several ships from Manila are
now at such ports.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-There is no longer
any doubt that President Kruger has
refused to submit to the demand of Mr..
Chamberlain for the appointment of a
court of inquiry. He may have done so
automatically Or hedgingly. But that
his answer is regarded by the British
government as tantamount to positive
refusal is now an established fact The
colonial Office is normally non.commit-
tai, but there are other evidences which
amply justify the statement. The re-
port that President Kruger has proposed
new terms is somewhat verified by the
guarded commont of the colonial Office
officials and the irritability displayed
there. There is not the slightest doubt
that they now
Believe War Is the Only Way
to settle the controversy. They would
far rather have had curt, defiant an
swer than the temporizing reply which
the Boer president has sent. With the
former Great Britain would have plain
grounds for quick commencement of
hostilities. Under the circumstances,
which it is believed now exist, a grave
action needs considerable explanation
to justify it in the eyes of the world
and the English minority, who still de-
clare war would be all outrage. How
ever, if Mr.. Chamberlain has his way,
it is believed President Kruger's coun-
ter-proposals will meet with scant at
tention, and unless the Beers back
down, which is not likely, the corre-
spondence will quickly develop into war.
1t has developed that the war office has
been aware of the nature of the Trans

PRETORIA, Aug. 23.-It is ascertained
on the highest authority that no def
mite reply has been sent to tina proposal
of the British secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, to
submit to a joint commission of inquiry
the effect upon the Uitlanders of the
recent franchise reforms. The precise
situation is that, as a result of the pour
parleurs, a communication was dis
patched to Sir Alfred Miner, British
high commissioner in South Africa
and governor of Cape Colony, which EN-.
bodies several alternative proposals.
For various reasons these are kept
strictly confidential, but it is believed
that they will admit of the conclusion
of a modus vivendi.
CAPE Town, Aug. 23.-In the Cape
assembly Cecil Rhodes, referring to the
Transvaal question, said:
''No, there will be no bloodshed.
President Kruger, like a sensible man,
will climb down. The less the Cape
Colony is concerned in the quarrel the
better"
Later Mr.. Rhodes said it was certain
the Transvaal would become an Eng.
lish speaking community and the uit-
landers, being vast majority, would
form a government in keeping with
their own ideas.
It is rumored here also that the Beers
intend to attempt a coup to obtain
forcible possession of the ammunition
detained by the Portuguese.
