WARNED BY BUTLER.
Details of the Generals Controversy
With Sir Alfred Milner.


MANCHESTER, Feb 6.-The Guardian"
this morning prints in large type a state
ment Of what actuelly took place between
Major General Butler, who formally -um-
manded the British troops in South Africa.
and Sir Alfred Miner. Governor OF Cape
Colony.
In June last Sir Alfred Milner sent Tor
General Butler. and asked him to re-en-
force the garriscns On rhe TransvaaI from
tier. General Butler expressed surprise
at such a request lie said such step
would be so serious that he did not feel
justified in carrying e out unless he re-
ceived written Orders. Governor Miner.
who al that time was also British High
Commissioner for south Africa. ana was
conducting negotiations with the Trans
vaal Government. objected TO this. He
said he thought the strengthening OF the
garrisons should be undertaken Hy Cen
eral Butler on his own responsibility.
General Butler poined out that every
thing depended upon he policy that vas
about to be pursued ly Great Britain. He
said that If the GoyerHment was bent on
pre- serving peace Dr. was not right TO
strengthen the garrisous. as such a step
would only provoke the Beers into cross
ing The frontier II o policy OF war had
been decided upon the measures proposed
10 be taken were IIdiculous from mili-
tary point OF view General Butler
argued that IL war broke out the FIRST
thing necessary would be 70 withdraw the
garri-Ons ln "a hurry or see them locked
up by the Beers. From q strategic stand
point the positions Co which Sir Alfred
wished him 90 send troops would DO inn
possible 90 hold, and the garris0ns would
inevitably be cut on and Isolated
Sir Alfred Miner expressed strong C9in-
ions iu opposition 60 this view. whereupon
General Butler informed him that war
with the Hoers would be a much more
serious matter than be appeared 20 realize.
The General said that s. Jhe war were con-
fined TO the South A .-ican Republic it
would be necessary -- have irom lortv

To this Sir Alfred AUlner replied sco-n-
fully, 1T is veE .atIral for YOU t0 take

The convCrsat closed and General
Butler placed his resignation in the hands

BOSTON, Feb. G.-There was enthuiasn
and 10 spare at the pro- -Boer meeting in
Faneuil Hall which was held under the au-
spices Of the Ancient Order OF Hibernisn
societies Of Suffolk county. The commit
tee hired the municipal band for the occa-
sion and the musicians alternated in play
ing The Wearing OF the Green" and THE
Transaval National Anthem for half
hour preceding the arrival OF the speakers.
II was intended. TO hold an overflow meet
ing outside Of the building but the cold
weather put a stop to that plan and ev-
eryone was able 10 crowd into the hall
The leading speakers were George W.
Van SickIen, Of New York, representative
Of the Orange Free State in this country.
and =. A Collins. Collins claimed that
legally and morally the war was as unjust
a one as was ever Waged between man
and man. and quoted a member Of the
Nolksraad as telling him in London after
the Jameson raid that il the British ever
attempted to seize The Transyaal the
Beers would be ready for them, and Great
Britain would leave the bones Of 80 600 Of
her men ia South Africa before her flag
would wave over Pretoria. And" added
the speaker, 1--WE have a 20 per cent in
staIlment already"
Resolutions Of cOngratulatiOn and sym
pathy for the Beers and advising young
Irishmen to die for the liberty Of their
native land rather than for iniquity in
South Africa were adopted.

FRANKFORT. KY. Feb. 6.-At 12;30
O'Clock today Postmaster Baker Of Louis
vile. one of the Republican Peace Com
missioners. came from the conference with
Taylor. and announced that Taylor had
refused to sign the peace treaty. Baker
hopes that after Taylor confers with those
elected on the ticket with him he will
change bis mind. The peace claimants
among the Republicans are very much dis
appointed and discouraged by Taylor's
stubbOrness.
When the failure was reported to John
x. Hendrick. leading Coebelite attorney,
who heretofore has talked very cautiously.
he said, That means that we shall have 10
10 over and whip Taylor out"
Unless the man yields TO reason within
the next few days bloodshed is inevitable.
Upon the usurper Taylor wholly depended
the immediate restoration of peace in
Kentucky. The peace conference AT Louis
willie last night completely cut the ground
from under him. The Louisville aud
Nashville Railroad has deserted him. and
he now is supported only by his murder
Gus minions from the mountains. who still
are barricaded with him in the Executive
Building.
Former Governor McCreary returned to
Frankfort this morning from the peace

ference worked nearly aH night and that

spirit Of moderation and fairness. lie be
Heved from their private assurances to
him that Taylor would sign the terms of

Republican conferees came up on the train
with Former Governor McCreary. and went
90 once TO Taylor's fort where they went
into conference with him. Taylor has
completely cut himself of from con mani

TO SUCCEED sCHURMAN.
William II. THft Appointed a Phil
ippine Commissioner

ippine C0mmiSSioner.
The Cabinet meeting tolay was Of brief
duration the President and his advisers
seemingly having little OF pressing impor-
tance to discuss. Judge William r. Day,
formerly Secretary Of state. was D eseat
by invitation, and listened attsntiveIy TO
the discussions OF his former colleagues.
The principal subject before the Cabinet
was the Philippines. II has now been de-
cided definitely TO send q Philippine Com
mission 10 the islands again 20 investigate e
the conditions existing there, and report
to the President. Prof. Schurman, ind
ing that his duties will not admit Of his
absence from the United States Tor 50
long 4 time. has resigned from the Com
mission, and Judge William II. Taft OF
Cincinnati. has been named as his sue
cessor.
Judge Taft was at the White House this
morning in company with Judge Day. The
Commission will probably depart for the
Philippines before the end of the month.
The Philippine report, and the probable
action Of Congress in framing laws for the
archipelago were discussed at the meeting.
II is understood that the members Of the
Cabinet ere a unit i'm support Of the
scheme ol government proposed in the re-
port OF the Cor Nnissioners. II is supposed
also that the scnding of The Commission
again 70 the Philippines is with a view to
strengthen the support OF the Admins
tration along that line
The Kentucky situation presented no
new phases. and it was scarcely touched
upon.

treaty were briefly considered In the light

FRANKFORT. Feb. 6.-Had Taylor ac-
cepted the Louisville agreement and an
ironclad clause framed for securing the
repeal Of the Goebel law and the enact

say there is no question about getting the
