ARE WE AT PEACE Or WAR
Administration Called Upon to Make q
Decision on the Subject.

Administration Called Upon to Make
Decision on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. THE secretary
OF war has confronting him difficult
problem requiring a decision whether
or not the United States is in state Of
war. In time Of peace, but not in time
OF war, any United States soldier may
purchase his discharge from the army
upon certain prescribed conditions.
More than two score applicants Of this
kind are now before the department. If
it Is held that this is a time Of peace,
that decision might carry with it the re-
duction Of pay of all the soldiers now in
the Philippines by one half, contin.
geney that cannot be contemplated
without pprehension. There are equally
dangerous complications lurking in the
other proposition, namely that the
country is in a state of war. War de-
partment officials regret that decision
should be required at this time.

The Quay Case Taken Up For
Consid deration by a Vote
Of 81 to 28.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The debate
on the Porto Rico tariff bill was re-
5snmed at q o'clock. Mr.. Payne IN. z. y,
the floor leader Of the majority, gave
notice that on Monday he would move
to close general debate Mr.. Richard
son (Tenn.), the minority leader, and
Mr.. Powers (Vt.) appealed for more
time. Mr.. Richardson said Il was inn
possible for those on his sids of the
house to express their views si1is week,
and Mr.. Powers said that there should
be ample time to discuss this important
measure. AS for himself, he said he
desired more light upon the subject be-
fore he voted. Mr.. Payne replied that
there had been a general understanding
that the debate should run a week. Mr..
Jones (Pa.) a member of the insular
committee was the first speaker. He
discussed the conditions which existed
upon the island of Porto Rico which
led to the. presidents recommendatio
of free trade for her goods and quoted
from the testimony before his commit
tee to prove that the condi iitions were far

the distress that prevailed upon the isl
and and declared that only immediate
relief could prevent the actual starva-

he charged that it was disclosed by Mr..
Moody Mass. when he declared that he
was unwilling that 10000, 900 Asiatics
should enjoy the immunities Of citizen
ship in the United States which had
been his birthright as an American citi-
zen. 5ss
Mr.. Maddox Ga followed in opposi-
tion to the bill. In the course of his re-
marks, he had read a long letter from

Evening World says:
United States Consul Wildman has
information that three members Of the
Filipino junta Luban, Ponce an1
Agoncillo, brother Of the enyoy--left
recently for Japan to meet Aguinaldo.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a The inyesti-

ID Alene mining riots was continued by
the house committee on military affairs.
illiam Randolph Stinson testified at
length as to life in the bull pen, :,
where the accused miners were incar-

consisting Of a number Of rude shanties
surrounded by a wire fence. The wit

removed for allied sympathy with the
miners and subsequently arrested He
said the bull pen was very filthy
The msn ate off the ground and the
food was bad. There were practically no
sanitary arrangements. The witness
said his mail was opened. On one oc-
caslon, when his wife was badly injured
and was in a delicate condition. he was
refused permission to go to her.
Mr. Stinson also. told Of the guard
house, house, q part Of the bull PEN where
| he :ll and others were held most Of the
time. The rain beat through it and the
| inmates We're often soaking wet. The
straw had been trampled into the
ground, and the officers IN charge of
United States forces refused to allow
hay to be brought in.
Many drunken soldiers were put in
the guard house with the accused.
An army officer, he said, ordered q
corporal to take a cigar from the wit
ness and when the latter threw the
cigar down, the officer reduced the cor
poral to the ranks for not snatching it.
The officer ordered that the men be
treated with severity.

members Of the committee over this ef-
fort OF Mr.. Lentz and Mr.. Sulzer to in

AWAITING NEWS
Announcement Of Cronje's Sur
render Hourly Expected
in London.
Critics Do Not See How He Can
Possibly Escape From
Roberts.
Kitchener's Demand for Uncondi-
tional surrend Ter Met With
RI efusal.

LONDON, Feb. "A. The official report
gives LAG men killed at Paardeberg drift
Sunday, including 63 Highlanders and
18 Canadians. ss
7 LONDON, Feb. "a. 2:10 D. n. Every
hour is expected to bring news Of Cen
eral Cronje's surrender On all sides
wonder is expressed that the gallant yet
CHASTITY battle Of Paardeberg drift has
not yet ended in what is considered to
be the inevitable, with SO guns bearing
upon the devoted band wi thin the terri
bly, short range Of 1900 yards, surrender
or utter annihilation can be the only
result, unless all reports Of the strength
of the Boer Inducements are wrong.
The critics canvass every untoward con-
idngency that can affect Field Marshal
Roberts and see nothing that liz 1 can save
General Cronje from the terrible wise
in which he has been caught.
Ss Even an Unexpectedly strong attack
on Lord Roberts lines of communica-
ton could scarcely, according to these
experts, materially alter the result.
Rnmors were current during the morn
ing that the end OF the struggle had ac-
tually come, but these emanated from
information received by the Rothschilds,
which they subsequ quently discovered to
be utterly without found alton. n
The severe losses incurred by General
Kelly Kenny Sunday, have produced
some adverse criticism, but it is pointed
out that had he fought less furiously, he
would have given the Beers the oppor-
tunity to entrench themselves, and per-
haps effect further fight to d more adj
vantage eous position.
General Buffers progress towards
aaysmith is so slow that it scarcely ap-
peals to public interest. General White
appears to be still full Of fight and to be
endeayoring to assist General Butler by
Q avigorous bombardment.
Adyices received at Cape Town on
Thursday said it was reported the Brit
ish We're gradually driving the. Beers
ont OF Northern Cape Colony, and that
manyof the burghers had recrossed the

DECIDED b TO FIGHT.

4 IKitchener's Demand for Surrender Re-
4 fused by CroDJe.
l8S ItoNDoN, Feb. "a. . General Cronie is
seemingly making his last stand. He is
/ dying hare, hemmed in by British in
fantry and shells from 80 guns falling
into his camp. In the third day Of the
flight the Boer chief asked for an armis-
tice to bury his dead. Y
ght to q finish or surrender uncon-
ditionally Z, & was Lord Kitchener's re-
ply.
General Cronje Immediately sent
back word that his request for an arnlis-
tice had been misunderstood and his de.
terminate ion then as before was to fight
to the death The battle went on. This
was the situation of General Cronie
/ Thursday evening, as sketched in the
scanty kilograms that have emerged
from the semi-s Hence Of South Africa.
Officially Lord Roberts wires that he
has scattered the advanced commanders
Iof reinforcements that were striving to
reach General Cronie. It is regarded
as singular that Lord Roberts wiring
"Wednesday should not mention the ap-
peal for an armistice on the previous
day and also that the war Office should
withhold good news, if 1T has any.
Without trying to reconcile even the
scanty materials at hand, it seems plain
that General Cronje is IN q bad, ana
even a despe situation, and that the
British are pressing their advantage

ton Of lively debate on the question
of the right Of Matthew S. Quay to a
seat in the senate as senator from Penn
Esylyania, spectators crowded the gal

presented the document to the senate.

The New Administration.

Ellsworth's new hoard of aldermen
met Monday and set the municipal
machinery in motion for the year. As
was expected when the political com
plexion of the board changed, there
were the usual changes in the officers
of the city. All the impo, tant officers
elected by the new board are demo-
Gratis.
The business of the first meeting
was transacted expeditiously and in
business like manner. There is no
reason why it should not have been.
Three of the aldermen have had ex
perience on the board, and the other
two have knowledge of business
affairs. Mayor Greely's one year in
Office has given him opportunity to
grasp the municipal situation, and
that he has done so is sufficiently
shown in his address, which is printed
in the news report OF the meeting.
The AMERICAN does not agree with
those who argue that everything is
s'going to the dogs" this year because
the democrats are to have things their
own way. True, We cannot give our
endorsement to some of the officers
chosen by the new board, and believe
that better could have been selected
even from the democratic ranks;
but we recognize the fact that
this democratic administration is
placed upon its honor, so to speak,
and will be held accountable for it's
acts. Realizing this, it is to be ex-
pected that the democratic aldermen
will strive to do what is right, and if
they do the city will be the gamer.
There was sufficient evidence at the
first meeting of the board that this
is so. In making its appropriations
the board showed none of the par
simony which some had expected; on

Women at Town Meeting.

women of stonington are going to prove
truth or faisehood Of the idea that II
will demoralize woman TO attend a town
meeting, so accordingly they were pres
ent In force last Monday. II Is re-
corded to the credit OF the gentlemen that
they were well treated. Smoking was
very nearly prohibited in Difference to
their presence.
The chief obiec. of the meeting In point
of public interest WAS to get temperance
man for chairman OF selectmep. Though
there was quite u contest, this was done,
J. e. Small being elected to that office.
-Four constabies were appointed, so that
now II one IL absent some Of the others

The passage by the German Reichs-
tag of the bill aimed at American
meat products has not produced a
pleasant feeling in Washington, but
neither in Congress nor in admins
tration circles is there any disposition
publicly to criticise the matter in its
present stage. 1t is easy to infer,
however, from what is said by those
who are in position to make good
their words, that if Germany deliber-
ately invites commercial conflict
with us, she will be made deeply TO
regret having done so.

One OF THE AMERICANS good cor
respondents commiserates Ellsworth
on having taken an unusually large
dose of "sprirg bitters", but ex-
presses the comforting belief that the
Philippine war will end as quickly,
the Boer war last just as long, the
spring birds sing just as sweetly and
the June roses be just as fragrant as If
the result of the municipal election
had been different. Our correspon-
dent has chosen happy smile.
Spring bitters are taken as a stimu
liant after the facilitating effects of
of early spring weather, and are sup
posed TO put a new zest into life-to
prepare the body corporeal for the
stress of summer heat. The republi-
cans of Ellsworth have taken a big
dose of spring bitters; they will be in
condition for the heated campaign of
the summer and early fall.
