London, July 13.-The Vlakfontein in- cident has come near to spelling Water- loo for the government.
 An apparently unimportant incident, the censorship of one of the newspapers dispatches. has had the effect of crystal izing all the widely differing sorts of pulp lie dissatisfaction concerning the conduct of the war in South Africa. The dissat- isfaction has long been pent up and now finds free vent not strangely enough through the columns of the opposition newspapers but in the government jour nals.
 For months past the public belief in the admiration for Lord Kitchener have been waning and now he Is openly and severely criticized. A rumor which can be substantiated Is current that he will shortly be succeeded in the command of the British forces in South Africa by General Sir Bindon-Blood, who has been operating in East TransvaaL Shuold this change occur 1t would probably be due to the difference of opinion existing be- tween Lord Milner of Capetown and Lord Kitchener, and 1t would be announced in tlle 1OTHl Ol pTOInOIlOn dCCOHlpdn1eu Dy the statement that the operations in South Africa no longer justified the presence there of an officer of seniority of Lord Kitchener
 There is little doubt but that Lord Milner and Lord Kitchener have had several disagreements and the high com- missioner does not want to return to South Africa as long as the hard, high handed General Kitchener remains in control there.
 Amid the storm of disapproval result ing from the Vlakfontein affair and <<<<<<<<-><<~<<- time in order that the question may be fairly settled on its merits.
 The entire correspondence bearing on this subject Is on file in the office of the railroad commission and open to be read by any one desiring ito do so and to any individual or newspaper who desires to publish the same"
 The correspondence would flu several columns of newspaper, and Is rather salty in some instances.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Team Runs Into Oxford Lake With
 Party of Young People.

Anniston, July 13.-(Special. )-Last night about S:3o o'clock, at Oxford Lake, about three miles south of this city what came near being a terrible disaster was narrow ly averted.
 A party of Oxford young people, MT. Manning Christian, Misses Annie Haroll, Irma Christian, Vista Bagley, Mary Snow. Aileen and Mattie Wilson, Mollie Manning and Trixie Humphries were re- turning In a wagonette from Boiling Springs and stopped at the lake The party drove around the lake and all went well until the bath house was passed Here a child ran in front of the horses The animals plunged forward and just then a part of the harness broke. Madly the animals ran forward and into the lake. The vehicle was turned completely over and all of the young people were overturned and went under the water of the lake. Miss Trixie Humphries was caught underneath the wagonette and held under the water for several seconds. When relieved from her terrible situation she was nearly exhausted from strangu- latfon.

 Indignation in All Parties-New Cabinet Suggested

which the governments supporters are pouring upon the war office on account of the suppression of news and the fla grant vagaries of the censorship, the liberal party, through it's hopeless differ ences of opinion, Is obliged to sit stupidly still and see the best opportunity proba- bly, ever offered pass out of their hands.
 The extraordinary spectacle has been presented of an advanced radical news paper. the Daily News, batting the war office and Lord Kitchener on the back for suppressing the story of alleged Boer outrages on British wounded while the Times and other government papers, though less radical organs like them. say the feeling aroused in the general public who have up to this time blindly and enthusiastically supported the gov ernment's war policy, can scarcely be estimated.
 Officials of the war office are more wor- ried now than at any previous time dur ing the war. and they are working strenu- ously to explain the mistake. The incl dent has awakened in the public mind an eagerness most unfortunate for the gov- ernment to know the details of operations and an ever-increasing dissatisfaction with the progress of British arms sn South Africa.
  tive party believe that if their party had to go to the country now 1t would be de- feated provided a semblance could be mustered. In this connection there is some talk of the possibility of a new Liberal organization consisting of a. combination of the old Liberal Unionists and the Lib eral Imperialists, many of whom would like to see a cabinet including Lord Rose bery. the Duke of Devonshire (president 41,o Ch T11h harlain (pO- lonial secretary and H.

ference adjourned for lunch the general executive board of the Amalgamated As- sociation submitted the following:
 We hereby repeat our request that our scale be signed for all mills owned and controller by the American Sheet Steel, the American Steel Hoop and the Ameri- can Tin Plate Companies and believe that this should be conceded because 1t Is In our opinion reasonable and just. we agree that If our scales are signed as above to classify the Monessen plant or the American Tin Plate as a special mill and arrange a scale In accordance there- with. Also that there shall be recon struction of the scale for the mills work ing hoop and cotton ties exclusively, ana we also agree that If our work or or ganizng mills outside of the possessions of the above companies should cause the shutting down of plants, or the calling out of men there shall be no interference with the operation of the mills belonging to or operated by the American Sheet Steel Company, American Steel Hoop Company or the American Tin Plate Company during the scale year
 This agreement is to abrogate all contracts signed by the men of these com panies in which they agree not to join or be connected with the Amalgamated As sociation or any other labor organization.

 We agree ito sign the scale for the fol- lowing sheet mills The Old Meadow roll ing mill, Scottdale; the Saltsburg mills, the Woods mills in McKeesport and the Wellsville mills.
 ''Of course this proposition was rejected as it was considered no proposition at all, inasmuch as the Welsville plant Is organ ized to man and so is the Woods mill in McKeespout The conference adjourned soon after this with regret expressed on both sides for the failure to reach an agreement"

 Notify your men that the mill is on strike and will not work on Monlay, July 15."
 For the present President Shaffer says that only the three companies named above are affected, but later all the union men in the Federal Steel Company, National Steel Company and National Tube Company may be called out if it is found necessary to resort to extreme measures to win the fight. At the start it is claimed that 45,OOO skilled workmen, 30 0,0O0 unskilled men and indirectly many thousands more will be affected.
 Late this afternoon President Shaffer made public the following:
 "On Friday afternoon the manufactur- CTS made their first proposition for a set clement of this strike, in which they said:
 "'We agreed to unionize the Old Meadow mill in Scottdale, and in Salts burg by leaving it to the opinion of the men employed there, if such opinion is properly obtained
