KRUGER Is COMING.
Arrangements Made for a Visit in
the Fall.


Washington. May 5. - Paul Kruger
expects to visit this country before the
snow flies again, and he will be re-
ceived in Washington by President
Mckinley without official recognition
as the head of the Boer republic but
with the most cordial show of sympa-
thy for him and his people. This is
the program which Montagu White,
the former diplomatic agent of the
Transvaal in London says he has ar
ranged with the president and state
department. Mr.. White has been in
Washington a number of times since
the South African war began. Secre-
tary Hay has the highest regard for
him, and while he has no official diplo-
matte standing in Washington he has
always called upon the secretary Of
state and conversed freely regarding
the plans of the Beers. Mr.. White has
been here for about week, coming be-
fore the departure Of the president,
and he says that President Kruger will
make his visit to America in the au-
tumn.
