THERE is no certainty OF peace yet in
South Africa. The latest advices are
more warlike. Chamberlain, the Eng
lish Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, is for
war, but Salisbury, the Premier, wishes
to avoid war. The situation is about
this: Many thousand Englishmen and
others have focked to johannesburg
and other sections Of the Transvaal
Republic, in search OF gold and dia-
monds, until they far outnumber the
original settlers, In the parts where
they have located. The German Beers
do not welcome them, refuse to permit
them to become citizens, and have
passed many oppressive measures to
make their lives miserable. This is toe
much for the Anglo-Saxon to submit to,
and there are strong evidences Of revolt.
England has taken up the cause oi
her sons. If we were in the place oi
the Beers we would think we were
right in denying citizenship to the
English, as the United States did to the
Chinese, but we could not justify the
many oppressive measures the Beers
have resorted to. And as blood is
thicker than water, we would be very
apt to stand by our countrymen, if we
were in England's place.

CHOATE AND LORD
SALISBURY AGREE.
The Alaska Boundary Question Set
tied to the Last nooted
Point.

Special Cable TO Commercial Tribune.
London, June 9.-Ambassador Choate
and Lord Salisbury held conference
this afternoon. 1t is positively stated
that they came to settlement on the
last mooted point Of the Alaska bound
ary. The sother difficulties in the way
Of . modus vivendi were arranged on
Tuesday. The British Government
then conceded most Of the points
touched upon by the American Ambas-
sador.
This left only the location Of an Indian
village and the place Of the White and
Chilkoot Mountains in open question.
The understanding il that Lord Sails
bury has conceded these points also.
This leaves it the map makers to finally
determine the boundary line, and there
is no reason to doubt that their decision
will be accepted here.

WHIPPED AGAIN!
But They Fight and Runaway And
Live to Fight Another Day.

Gen. Lawton whipped the Filipinos
out of their trenches in the Province of
Cavite, south OF Manila, Saturday, with
an American loss Of thirty, while the
Filipinos lost 400.
On the American side, the Thirteenth
Infantry lost one man killed and six
wounded; the Ninth one man killed
and five wounded; the Fourteenth,
three wounded; and the First Colorado,
eleven wounded.
The work was the hardest our army
has seen.
The monitor Monadnock, and the
gunboats Napidan and Helena assisted
the army materially, shelling the
shores on the lake and bay, where the
Filipinos were fighting and retreating.
The Filipino forces numbered 5000
to 1000.
It was hoped to capture their entire
force, but only twenty were captured
beside the wounded. They have, Ger.
tainly, very good use of their legs.
The Colorado volunteers played ar
important part in the fight.
Three of Gen Lawton's staff had theil
horses shot, under them, while riding
with him, in the battle.
The Filipinos had q net work o
trenches, from which the American.
drove them, one after another.
Gen. Otis gives the following repor
of the movement:
Manila, June IL, 1899.
| Terrific heat not permitting troop
to reach positions at hours designated
enabled majority Of insurgents to es
cape in scattered organizations soutl
and westward, which they effected
during the evening and night. Move
ment great success, however; enem,
disorganized and routed, suffering
heavy loss; troops resting today a
Laspinas and Paranaque. Navy dit
excellent execution along the shore O
the bay, but many insurgent detach
ments retired in that direction, pro
tected by the presence of women an,
children, whom they drove along witt
them. Our loss, four killed and som
thirty wounded. Report of casualtie
later. Conservative estimate of tn
enemy's loss about four hundred.

pay him what he thought was right. He asked
the Reverend If 81 would do. He informed
him that he had said he had no price, At this
the groom thanked the minister and informed
him that If it ever came SO that he could do
him kind act he was not like the fellow who
would not do it. AS the couple departed
