Washington, Aug. S1.-"Maj. Gen.
Miles sustains the same friendly rela-
tons with Secretary Root that Gen.

This statement was made by an Of

which he cited in it's support Indicate
that the presidents wish for harmony
in the war department has been real
lied as result of the appointment of
Mr.. Root as secretary. Gen. Miles ad-
vice, neglected and never asked by Sec
retary Alger is now sought by Secre-
tary Root. His recommendations are
acted upon promptly, and when in
Washington Gen. Miles is frequently
seen entering the secretary's office to
some pending matter.
When Secretary Root returned to
Washington from Lake Champlain,
where he had conferred with the presi-
dent. he came with authority to make
arrangements for calling out five addi-
tional volunteer regiments. He con-
suited with Gen. Miles and found him
opposed to making two bites of the VOL
nnteer cherry, he suggesting that ten
Regiments be enlisted. The general adj
Vanceu reasons which the secretary
found cogent and the call last week
was the result.
Nor is this all. Several of the colo
nels of these regiments, notably Lieut..
Col f. j. McClernand, adjutant gem
eral of volunteers on the staff of Gen.
Wilson at Matanzas, Cuba, and Maj.
Joseph H. Dorst, also on Gen. Wilson'S
staff, We're appointed on the recon-
mendation of Gen. Miles.

KRUGER MAKES REPLY
Transvaal Government Submits
Answer to the Latest Pro.
posals of the British.
1t Is Acknowledged a Partial
Acceptance Of Her Maj.
esty's Terms.
Further Diplomatic Representations
and Postponement of the Crisis
Likely to Follow.

capetown, Aug. 21.-The report that
the Transvaal has handed reply to the
British proposition to the British agent
at Pretoria is confirmed. 1t is believed
the proposition is not acceded to, but
that fresh proposals are advanced.
London, Aug. 21.-The colonial office
confirms the dispatch from Cape Town
that the Transvaal has handed a reply
to the British agent at Pretoria. 1t adds
only this: "The reply is not complete
acceptance of the British proposals.
1t is not known what the reply Of the
British government will be, but it is
probable further diplomatic representa-
tions will be made and the crisis be thus
postponed for the present.

PROPOSE TO USE TWO ARMIES
Officers Think Separate Forces Can
Be Operated in Luzon.


Washington. Aug. 21.-It is believed
that more chan one army can operate to
advantage in the Philippines and the
suggestion has been made by some
army officers that two armies should
start from different points and operate
IN such manner as to distract and de-
etroy the Filipino forces. At present the
United States forces do not occupy a
line OF railway more than half way to
Lingayen, on the gulf OF the same
name. 1t has been suggested that if
one force We're to start from Lingayen
and move south at the same time that
another were moving north there would
be very great probability of soon Sc
curing the entire railway for the use Of
the army. and the insurgents would be
separated into divisions east and west
by the railroad, as they are now divided
into northern and southern bands.

to weaken his forces in Luzon by send
ing regiments or parts of regiments to
put down this incipient rebellion in 9TH

According to war department officials,
however. Otis will not be diverted from
his main purpose by any such attempts
to mislead him. Practically all the
troops under his command at the begin
ming of the dry season will see active

two of lively work to crush the rebel

tstration to send Gen. Otis more men
than he has asked for and more than he
Will need for actual fighting.
The report that Gen. Miles or Gen.
.1ierritt will be sent to take supreme
command in the Philippines is not cred-
tied in army circles here. Gen. Otis will
remain at Manila as governor general,
and Generals Lawton, Macarthur.
Wheaton and Bates will retain
the command of the four divisions Of
the American army and have practical
~ free rein in the conduct of the mill
tary operations of their respective diyi-
oions.

Confident of His Acquittal.


Confident of His Acquittnl.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 21.-M. Lauren
Bureau, of Paris formerly private sec

said that the present trial of Dreyfus
will result in his acquittal. If verdict
of guilty is returned the court of cas-
sation. the higher French authority,
will set 1t aside and order another court
martial and SO on until he is acquitted.
The court of cessation knows that
French law is being juggled by this
military court and there are two
grounds on which it could set aside
such sentence: First, a violation of the
law. and second. abuse of power.
When the court of cessation sent Drey-
fus back for a second trial he was re-
manded on the charge of having been
the author of the bordereau. Now that
| Is the only thing he could be. tried for.
Instead of sticking to this the court has
allowed witnesses to talk of his rela-
tions with women and other outside
matters, which is directly violation of
French law. If some matter not con
nected with the bordereau should come
up in the trial proving Dreyfus guilt
this court martial could not try him:
the court of cessation would have 10

cier for forgery before the Paris court
of assizes. This will be the severest
blow the army has yet received. 1t will
also smash the veracity of the anti
