London, May 21-The Associated
Press is able to say that no message
from President Kruger direct or in
direct, has recently been received by
Lord Salisbury or by any department
of the British government nor, ii may
be added, is any communication from
him dealing with the question of the
cessation of hostilities. expected by
them in the immediate future. The
proximity of peace, according to the
government point of view, will remain
a matter Of military progress. How
soon the latter may bring about the
former is still too suppositional a ques-
ton for serious forecast on the part OF
any high government official. The
consensus of opinion at the government
offices is that the Boer delegates will
exhaust every effort in the United
States before President Kruger sues al
rcctly though Lord Salisbury himself
does not believe the delegates viii ac-

The details Of the regulations as ex-
pressed in General Orders No. 49, are
conceded to be excellent; they are
complication of the best of two or
three codes of municipal laws. wisely
made applicable to local conditions.
Under it the people are granted more
latitude and freedom than they have
ever before enjoyed In Chapter 1 of
the enactment it is stated that the for
mer town boundaries shall be main
tanned. that only Incorporated towns
may sue and be sued Manila is exempt
from this p1pvision); that municipal
officers are elected fer a term of two
years ana that the towns of the islands
shall be divided into four classes.
those of 5000; $4,000; 10000 and more
than 1000 inhabitants.
In Chapter >, the matter of suffrage
is determined as follows:
Those who, prior to August 49,
1898, held the Office of municipal cap
tain. gobcrnadorilo. lieutenant or
daheZa de barangay.
2.-ThOse who annually pay 80 pesos
(S15 in gold or more of the established
taxes.
3.-Those who speak. read and write
English or Spanish.
| The tax clause shuts out many of the
poorer classes and the language re-
striction prevents from voting hun
dreds of thousands of natives who only
talk dialects. Both classes are consid-
cred fair and just and it is estimated
that their enforcement will accord the
! suffrage to about 10 per cent. Of any
given community. Each elector must
take the oath Of allegiance to the
United States. Inasmuch as every
Filipino living outside of Manila is in
danger as assassination If he takes the
oath. this clause will prevent many
men from qualifying to vote unless be-
tween now and the time of the first
election a most radical change comes
over the feelings of the natives.

Al the Prospect OF Civil Government in Place
Of Military Rule.

Correspondence of The Associated Press
Manila, April 10.-The interest as
well as the hope Of Manila is centcrcd
in the civil commission. The general
public knows little Of the details Of the
commissions program, but there pre-
walls the impression that it will estab-
lsh a good civil government in the is
lands and that we shall enjoy the priv
ilcgc Of living under laws instead OF
individuals: that We shall have courts
If equity ana that native ana foreign
rights shall have due consid. ration
and protection. The native clemcn is
overjoyed at the prospect of civil au-
thority and control; already prepara-
tions are making ID welcome the com
mission with music, speeches and gen
eral jnllity.
In the midst Of these feelings, re-
necting. as they undoubtedly do, a Ger
tain satisfaction at the passing of the
military as civil governors. the mill
tary autholiti-s launched q 22-page
booklet entitled entitled General Or
drrs No. g." in which they set forth
the details Of their plan fer the inn
mediate establishment Of Il civil mu-
niciual government in the Philippines.
This now idea being popular with the
natives ana foreign residents. the ac-
tinn of the authorities in now giving it
publicly is timely ana cxpedicnt.
Some F'ilipiros are keen ana reason

give us all the civil government we
want.

In critical times friendly relations

Should not Kentucky, now and here,

when that ambition is disappointed
