CABINET TO MEET.
TRANSvAAL AFFAIRS ARE STILL AT
HIGH TENSION.

England's Ministers Hastily Summoned to
burg Continues-Kruger Perfecting His
Plans In Case of Rupture.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The premier, the
Marquis of Salisbury, will come to Lon
don today from Walmer to confer with
Mr.. Chamberlain, and cabinet council
is selected for Friday and urgent mes
sages have been sent to all the ministers
requesting their presence. There is
great activity at the admiralty and CO.
lonial offices. Lord Wellesley is in
daily communication with the war Of
fee. as are General Sir Evelyn Wood
and Colonel Hector Archibald McDon-
aid, aides-de-camp to the queen. The
press association asserts that the officers
of the Highland Light infantry, at
Devonport, notified their men last even
ing to prepare for departure, probably
on Thursday.
The Times, which comments editori-
ally upon the gravity of the situation
that necessitates cabinet council at
such an unusual period, says: "It would
be objectionable folly to shut our eyes
to the suspiciously dilatory character Of
President Kruger's diplomacy and to
the energy with which he is simultane-
ously preparing for war"
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The Johannesburg
correspondent of The Standard says: 81
learn from an official who has been
earnestly striving for peace that the
matter is now hopeless. The Beers will
probably declare war at As hours no.
tice and will probably try to raid Natal
before the British troops arrive. 1 be-
lieve the Orange Free State will join the
Transvaal, but that the Beers in Natal
and Cape Colony will remain quiet at
the outset, unless irritated by the dis
missal of the Cape cabinet. The Beers
have the fullest confidence in their
magazine rifle and their skill in marks
manship. Thirty thousand men in the
Transvaal and 10000 in the Orange
Free State will take the field" /"

| Asks Them to Allow Schwartzkoppen and
! Panizzardi to Testify-His Request Is
Likely to Be Granted-Testimony Will
Be Most Sensational.
RENNEs, Sept. en-. Labor yester-
day telegraphed personal appeals to
Emperor William and King Humbert
to grant permission to Colonel Schwartz
koppen and Colonel Panizzardi, German
and Italian military attaches in Paris in
1894, to come to Rennes to testify in the
trial of Captain Dreyfus. This is the
chief topic OF conversation in the cafes
and among the journalists. The ap-
peals were couched in eloquent terms,
invoking the assistance of their majes-
ties in the name of justice and human
ity. They are quite supplementary to
the formal application that will be made
by the government commissary. Major
Carriere.
The demand of NJ Labori that the
court-martial should issue processes,
subject to the approval of the two SOW
ereigns, came like thunderbolt. The
step is fraught with momentous conse-
| quences, as it affords Emperor William
an opportunity to assume his favorite
role of arbiter of the destinies of the
world. No one will be surprised if Col
onel Schwartzkoppen, in the name Of
the kaiser, makes declaration that will
practically decide the result of the trial.
Both Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi
must consult their respective sovereigns
before starting, but the counsel for
Dreyfus fully expect them to come, if
they come at all, in time to give their
testimony on Thursday, in which case
the trial would probably conclude this
week.
The appearance of Colonels Schwartz
koppen, and Panizzardi would be the
most sensational as well as the most
important incident of the entire trial
Their depositions would be a formal
and emphatic declaration that they
never had any relations with the ac-
cuseds and they would make such a
statement that the court must order an
acquittal Those who are in the conf
dence of the counsel entrusted with the
defense, express a firm conviction that
Il DIeyluS Will uOW US acquitted.
i Todays session opened with closed
doors to hear from Cernuschi, the Aus
trian political refugee, the name of the
foreign attache he has already men
toned as admitting that he had re-
ceived reasonable documents from
Dreyfus. The remainder of his evi-
dence will be given in public. Cernu-
schi will be subjected to searching cross
examination. The prosecution relies
upon him as a last straw.
RENNES, Sept. 5.-As the end of the
Dreyfus court-martial comes within
sight, the French government is begin
ming to exhibit fear that the verdict
may lead to trouble, and orders have
been given that two regiments Of infan-
try and one cavalry regiment, already
within hail of Rennes, to hold themselves
ready to march on the town at the first
sign Of disorder and to occupy ali
strategical points. The local anti
Dreyfusard organs, by their anti-for-
eign articles, have already singled out
foreigners as enemies of the country,
and there is little doubt that foreign
journalists will be the first victims of a
mob, not so much Anglo-Saxons as the
Austro- German and Russian Jews, who
form majority of the press representa-
ton of their respective countries.

AS SEEN BY A SPANIARD.-The
following came from Madrid, on Mon
day, by way of New York:
A general who has lived for some
years in the Philippine islands, said in
an interview
"The Americans are making two
mistakes in connection with the Phil
ippine question. First they are CIV
ing Aguinaldo and his followers time
to organize their forces and propagate
the idea of independence among the
Malays. Second, in the attribution of
all the importance of the archipelago
to the island of Luzon alone.
"If the Americans occupied the 9TH
er islands in an effective manner, max
ing it clear to the Tagalos that their
occupation is definite and permanent,
the moral effect on the Malays would
be very important, especially in the
case of the half-castes and rich plan
ters, who dread war.
"The Americans are mistaken if they
think that, without giving the natives
severe lesson, they can get firm foot
ing in Luzon. The Malay is barbar-
ian, obedient only to the impulses OF
fanaticism and fear of punishment"

had reached his period of life to travel
hundreds of miles to visit a generation

1t was during the same chat in which
this occurred that the story told by the
Memphis man developed.
1t seems that they knew each other
during the war, and that then the SEN
ator did a great deal of smoking, and
it is said of him that he nearly always
had good cigar about him. The
story as told a Commercial Appeal re-
porter is as follows:
"How is it, SENATOR" asked one OF
the party-and there was number OF
grizzled veterans in the room-that
now I never see you smoker"
"Well, it has been number of years
since 1 have enjoyed cigar" replied
General Bate, "and, in fact, have done
no smoking since the battle of Shiloh u
"Was there any particular reason
for giving up this luxury? I thought
the use of tobacco did not disturb
you. If my memory serves me ght,
during the COS you were almost an in
veterate smoker"
"There is little story in connection
with the fact that I do not smoke
You remember that it was at the bat
tie of Shiloh my brother was killed
Only short time before that unhappy
event-on the same day, really-I sa"
him and we had brief conversation
and just before we parted he handed
me cigar. He was smoking himself
and l lighted mine from the fire or
his. He turned and left me and tha
was the last time / ever saw him alive
He was shot within few hours after
ward, and out of respect to his memory
l decided to make the cigar he gave
me the last one I would ever smoke
and it was.

AGUINALDo's LEADERSHIP.
As war became an assured fact Agui-
naldo and Consul Wildman, of Hong
Kong, became more and more intimate.
1t would not be fair to sit in judg-
ment at the present time upon either
of the two men; nevertheless, 1T IS
certain that either one or both made
serious mistakes, if not positive blum
ders. Aguinaldo, Agoncillo, and the
other Philippine leaders declare that
Wildman promised independence to
the islanders and claimed to have au-
thority from Washington to make this
promise. Wildman, on the other hand,
denies the promise, and states that he
merely endeavored to gain the assist
ance of the revolutionists against the
Spaniards in the campaign that was
then to come. In Hong Kong itself the
understanding, according to the for
eigu consuls and the local press, was
that an agreement had been made be-
tween the two with full knowledge or
authority from the American govern
ment. At any rate, Immediately after
the victory of Admiral Dewey at Ma
Mia Aguinaldo, followed in a short
time by his colleagues, crossed over
to Luzon and organized the insured
tion upon the biggest scale ever set up
in the archipelago.
In this labor he displayed extraordi.
nary ability marked by personal
magnetism of a very high character.
In nearly every one of the 26 provinces
of Luzon he soon had the fires of re-
bellion under fierce headway. In each
district be picked out leader, and for
the capture of each Spanish force and
garrison he outlined rough plan OF
campaign. During this work he sug-
gested the character of Napoleon Bo.
naparte more than any other general
of modern times. Like Bonaparte, he
seemed to exert a strange fascination
upon his people. Wherever he went
be was followed by troops of admirers,
and while other generals suffered at
times he and his camp were always
supplied with the choicest supplies and
comforts. Nor was the feeling of more
than admiration confined to the Tagals,
stordid Igorrotes, and halfnaked Ne
gritos. Cunning skeptical half-breeds,
and even Spaniards themselves, seem
ed to share in this odd hero-woIs 8 Zip.
1t was this strong personal following
that enabled him to perform many ex-
lraordinary feals, such as sending mes
sages by runners who covered hun
dred miles in two days, transporting
experienced native soldiers 40 and SO
miles within SO hours so as to assail
Spanish garrisons and obtain their
rifles, and finding out the treasures
concealed by officials and frias. None
of these things could have been done
by an ordinary commander. To ac'
complish them demanded that intense
emotion which accompanies either pa
triotism or strong personal loyalty
