Nine Hundred of the Kaisefss
Subjects Volunteer to Fight
for Kruger.
Chamberlain's Reply Received
With Hostile Demonstrations
in the Raad.
President Kruger Says He Be-
lieves War Is Practically
Certain.

LONDON, Sept. 4.--The Standard and
Diggers News has received a cablegram
from its Johannesburg Office, saying
that German corps, 900 strong, had
been formed there to cooperate with
the Beers in the event of war with
Great Britain. The dispatch adds that
the Beers could mobilize 10000 in three
days, while the Orange Free State could
muster $1,000 men in the same period
Continuing, the dispatch says:
"Mr. Chamberlain's reply upholding
the suzerainty of Great Britain. was re-
ceived by the raad with demonstrations
which Enthusiastically indicated the in
tention of the Transvaal to repudiate
Great Britain's pretensions. The raad,
on hearing the fve-year franchise pro-
posal. gave every sign of strong dissent
and of determination not to go be-
yond the seven-year limit"
It must not be forgotten that these
statements come from an excessively
pro- Boer source.
A special dispatch received here from
johannesburg says that Editor Pake-
man Of the Transvaal Leader has been
arrested, charged with high treason.
It is generally believed critical
stage in the negotiations has been
reached and warlike rumors prevail.

including Scrupulous Care Of the
Cellar, Refrigerator, Etc.
The cellar, well drained and aired,
must be kept free from rubbish, and
especially from decaying vegetables and
other foods Frequent cleaning out the
corners and sweeping the walls are es-
sent1al All kinds Of food, including
vegetables. should be kept from the
light Jellies and canned fruits ought
to be stored in dark cupboards- Win
dows enough to air the cellar and
screens for all Of them are essential. IF
the sashes are opened at sunset and re-
main so until the next days heat, then
closed to keep in the fresh air, it will
be much cooler than IL open all day.
But to remain closed continually is to
breed foulness and disease. Lime scat
tered in the corners will conduce to
keep the cellar free from mold. A damp
basement, is disorder breeding spot.
The refrigerator is too often pest
and menace. Few domestics or their
mlstresses realize the importance of its
utter cleanliness. From observation the
writer is certain that fonr ont of five
refrigerators are extremely unwhole-
some. Ice unrinsed is covered with half
fetid wooden cloths, the zinc Enclosure
is specifically cleansed. and in it are
set rank smelling foods while yet warm,
to contaminate milk. butter and other
comestibles Every second morning at
least all food should be taken out and
the entire refrigerator, with its slides
and drain pipe, scahed with strong hot
soda water. When this is quickly fol-
lowed by rinsing Of cold water. the
packing will not be sufficiently warmed
to melt the ice. Milk and butter should
be set upon the bottom of the refnger
ator. and nothing in the way of eata-
hles should be placed in the receptacle
devoted to the ice. If the latter be in
closed in paper outside of the wooden
fabric (which needs a semiweekly scald-
ing) it will melt more slowly than 9th

may be kept in the ice chamber, to be

Future Course as to Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines ~
Said to Have Been Outlined,
Though Details May Be
Changed. /
Commission for the Philippines
Annexation Plebiscite for
Cuba. /

NEW YORK, Sept. ga special to The
Herald from Washington says: There
is good authority for the statement that
the president has returned to Washing
ton with these general ideas uppermost
in his mind as to his future course in
relation to the new dependencies:
The Philippines-Civil government
by three commissioners to supplant mil
itary rule Immediately after the rebel
lion Is crushed.
Cuba-C Continued military control
until it is determined by means of q
general election whether the inhabi-
tants want Independence OF annexation.
If independence, the new government
elected viii be recognized by the United
States and be given encouragement and
every opportunity to establish its stabil-
ity. If annexation, the president will
be governed by the sentiment of Amer
lean citizens as it may then exist.
Porto Rico-Civil government of the
territorial form, similar to that which
prevails in Arizona.
Hawaii form of govern
ment, as recommended by the Hawaiian
commission and as provided for in a
measure new pending in congress.
Commission Idea Predominatss.
/ Some weeks will elapse before the
president settles down to the actual
preparation of his message, but will
Immediately commence discussions OF
the details of important questions with
the members Of his cabinet.
! Future discussions with his cabinet
may change somewhat the presidents
views as to the form of civil govern.
ment best suited to, meet the Philippine
situation, but at present the commission
] idea predominates.
Professor Schurman, president of the
peace commission, is understood to
favor this kind Of control.
It is appreciated that it will be some
years before the islands are ripe ever
for the territorial form Of government,
such as proposed for Porto Rico, SO that
control by commissioners. much the
same as in the District of Columbia, il
deemed 9 happy substitute for . mill
