WHY soTHA DECLINED.
Kitchener Refused Complete Amnesty
TO Leaders.

LONDON, March 25.-The Daily
Chronicle, processing to be able to
give an outline Of the negotiations be-
tween Lord Kitchener and General
Botha, says:
THE chief obstacle to settlement
was Lord Kitchener's refusal TO grant
complete amnesty to the leaders OF
the rebels In Cape Colony. He offered
self-government on the lines of jana
lea Immediately upon the cessation OF
hostilities, with legislative bodies
partly elected by the burghers. The
government agreed to provide E1,.
100000 to compensate Beers for prop
erty destroyed and articles comman-
deered by the Beers on commando.
provided the signatures of the Of
ncers who Communicated the goods
were forthcoming. He also offered to
grant loans on easy terms for rebuild
tng and restocking farmsteads. More
over, he agreed that children should
be instructed In English or Dutch, at
the discretion Of their parents. The
government undertook to make no
claim on church property or funds. or
upon hospitals or hospital funds. or
upon private investments. No burgher
OF either state was to be allowed to
possess a rife. except by special IL
cense.
General Botha was generally in
favor OF these conditions, but he dis
sented strongly from a proposal to
give the full privilege of citizenship to
properly domciled and registered
blacks. He was also greatly con-
cerned about the position Jewish cap-
italists would occupy in the country,
and was told that Jews and Chris
tians would enjoy equal rights, no dis
tinction being mace in the matter of
concessions"

BACALOR, Island Of Negros. March
25.--According to expressions Of q
large majority Of the delegates from
Occidental Negros and Of few who
were present from the Oriental side.
the sentiment of the people is over
whelmingly in favor Of succeeding
the present governments by provin-
cial governments in both divisions.
The reasons given for this view are
that such change win effect reduc-
tion of taxes and the high salaries of
officials, the establishment of schools
and the improvement of roads. The
speakers alleged that owing to lack
of means Of education, liberty was
becoming license. The military COM
mander is credited with having or
ganized the only schools. They are
taught by soldiers. Commissioner
Taft assured the delegates that Ne
gros would be supplied with Ameri-
can teachers and he outlined the need
of organizing provinces uniformly
with other islands.
The announcement Of yesterdays

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 25.-The
territorial supreme court today hand
ed down an important decision In the
matter Of the Pima county bonds. It is
held that the territory must refund
these bonds, amounting now, with in
terest, to $352.000. Incidentally, the
opinion re-establishes the territorial
loan commission which the legisla-
ture sought two years ago to abol-
ish. The bonds, amounting to
100000 were issued by Pima coun-
ty under an act of the legisla-
ture of 1888 to encourage the con.
struction of narrow-gauge railroad
from Tucson to Globe. The road
was begun but never finished, and
though these bonds had been turned
over to the promoters, the county re-
fused to pay the interest. All the
bonds are held in New York.

A. & S. E. Banquet.

Those who attended the base ball game at Don Luis missed the best part of the game. Seven innings were played at Don Luis on Friday. The remaining two innings were played at the Waldorf Saturday evening. Um- pire Hammer called time promptly at 1920, and for two hours the game was fast and furious. A. X s. k. boys who the day previous had fumbled the ball all over the lot found no difficulty in stopping hot bird. The banquet was spread at the Waldorf, and was pre- pared under the direct supervision of Otto Geisenhofer. He received the order from the general office of the A.. & s. E., and he had a clearance card to run past anything of the kind ever at tempted by the base ball fans in the past. His orders were signed by Wal ter Douglas, manager, and R. c, Nor gan, superintendent, and in this neat manner the company attested their ap- preciation of the young men in their employ, not as ball players, but for ser vices rendered by faithful and consci. entious discharge of their every day duties.
 After the cigars were passed around MT. Hammer was called for and spoke of his appreciation of the courtesy ex- tended to him on the grounds the day previous, and of his appreciation of that fairness and gentlemanly feature of the game so characteristic of all western sports Toasts were responded to freely on both sides of the table. Dugan and Tenancy furnished the mu- sic. It was just social, informal affair where the boys talked base ball to the exclusion of everything else. It was agreed unanimously that Bisbee must have a crack-a-jack ball team. V. R Stiles was voted president and c. F. Nichols corresponding secretary, with Lee F. Hammer manager and P. J. Te. nancy captain.
 Promptly at F o'clock the boys stood in their places and toasted the young ladies of the Copper Queen store, who so valiantly championed their side al the diamond on Friday. Then came three cheers and tiger for the A. & s. E., and it was finished.
 The fans have woke up. Whats more, they are going to stay awake al summer. Come along, Naco. Get your bran, bran new gown, for there's goin' to be ball club in this good good ole town.
 Those present Saturday evening were Messrs. Lillis, Bledsoe, Stillman, Te nancy, Jackson, Williams, Rogers Stiles, Hughes, Smith, Rice, Marks Rupert, Dugan, Wilson, Martinez Shanks, Rydel, Haisht, Callahan Nichols, Moore, Hammer, Stiles, Oar nall, and others.
