WAR NOT OVER.

(By Associated Press

LONDON, NOV. 2S-While the reports
Of the condition of Cape Colony are re-
garded as somewhat unnecessarily alarm
ing, there is little disposition TO take a
too roseate view Of thsi general situation.
The constant dispatch to South Africa of
reinforcing drafts, and the daily fights
at points wide apart, show that the war
is not over, and, while the statement that
Lord Roberts has demanded 10000 fresh
troops is incorrect, it is a fact that he has
asked for s,0G0 men to replace the battal-
ions whose Hastage incaplcitates them
for duty at the pront. These reliefs will
be dispatched; but they will seriously at
tentuate the garrisons of the United
Kingdom, as Lord Roberts insists the
troops shall be picked men and have sea-
SOned officers.

(By Associated p-ess)
NEW YORK, Nov. 2s-Cabe: advices
say that the Vienna Tageblatt publishes
a dispatch from Constantinople to the ef-
feet that the Turkish council OF ministers
have held az5sonfsrence to determine
whether or not tire sending Of the United
States battleship Kentucky to Smyrna
should be regarded as an act Of hostility.
According to the Tageblatt's dispatch
the home minister urged the severance OF
diplomatic relations with the United States
and even went SO far as to threaten war
unless the Kentucky should be withdrawn
from Turkish waters. The ministers eX-
press the belief that the European Powers
would not permit the United States to at
tack Turkey and that country, therefore,
would be safe in taking defiant attitude.

FULL TEXT ASKED FOR.
Congcr VIII Withhold His Signature
From the Agreement.

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-The State De-
partment has cabled Minister Conger to
forward the text Of the agreement reached
by the Foreign Minister at Pekin. Mean
while he will withhold his signature until
the President has had an opportunity to
satisfy himself as to this important docu-
ment and to make such changes as will
bring it in accord with our policy.
It is safe to predict that this particular
agreement will not becomes effective in its
present shape. 1t appears that upon in
quiry directed to the Powers themselves
their ministers at Pekin haWs not cor
rectly reflected their present views as to
the basis of the peace negotiations This
statement certainly is true as to ma
jority of the Powers interested, and the
fact is regarded as warranting the predlc-
ton that the agreement must be modified
or abandoned.
PRACTICAL RESULTS.
It is =learnedA at the State Department
that while seAQegotations are dragging
along at Pekin, some of the American
Consuls in China ana achieving practical
andu valuable results by individual efforts.
These are addressing themselves in cases
directly to the Yiceroys OF the great
provinces w1lens American property IN

1t is s,lrnissl1 from the latest Chlnese
advices that the English Consuls are doing
likewise, and are collecting many claims
and the moneys are being turned over to

this movement continues, it is entirely
possible thatsthe United States and Great
Britain will not be obliged to concern
+hensa,ves with the prosecution of indi-
vidual claims for Indemnity through the

..The Virginia team is in fair shape.
Haskell is in the worst condition Of any of

knees. made so by injuries received In the

fact that Sewanee is exceptionally strong
this year and that it has not been scored

it a toss up as. to which team will win.
Virginia has a strong team, however. ana
will put forth the best efforts in this game.

right.
