LORENZO MARQUES, March s.-General
Kitchener has granted General Botha a
seven days armistice TO enable him to
confer with the other generals.
LONDON, March S.-A dispatch from
Pretoria. dated Tuesday. March 5, evident
ly held up by the censor, has just reached
here. 1t says General Kitchener met Gen.
eral Botha and other BOer leaders at Mid
dleburg on February %, when the question
of the possibility of the termination of hos
tilities was discussed.
Another dispatch from Pretoria, dated
Wednesday. March 6, says the meeting be-
tween General Kitchener and General
Botha has awakened deep interest and that
there are favorable expectations as to the
probable outcome.
According to the Sun the surrender of
General Botha would have been an accom-
plished fact before now had General
Kitchener been in a position to conclude
the terms of surrender. When the Surren-
der occurs, the Sun adds, 1t will include the
surrender or entire suppression of General
De Wet and will involve the termination
of the war

DENIED WITH EMPHASIS
NO HARSH NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN
SENT To DENMARK.
Exact Condition of Negotiations Re-
garding Purchase of West
Indian Islands.

An emphatic denial is given at the State
Department to the statement published In n
London newspaper to the effect that the
United States government has addressed
note almost threatening in tone' to the
Danish government, declaring that 1t will
not permit a transfer of the Danish West
Indies to any foreign power. The United
States government has not at any stage in
the present negotiations relative to the
transfer of the islands, nor at any time in
the past when similar negotiations were
afoot, threatened Denmark, or attempted in
any way to bring pressure to bear upon
her, and the negotiations have always been
conducted in the most amicable spirit on
both sides. OF course the Danish govern
ment is aware that the Monroe doctrine is
cherished by the Department of State, but
the application of that doctrine to the trans
fer Of sovereignty by one European nation
of its holdings in America to another Eu-
ropean nation has always been allowed to
remain a matter of inference. Although
the State Department holds decided views
on that subject, fortunately the occasion
has never arisen for any such announce
ment of them as is supposed to have re-
ported to have been made in the London
publication.
The Danish government is perfectly aware
of the disposition of the State Department
to acquire the Danish West Indies for the
United States. and it knows precisely the
amount of money which the executive
branch of the United States government is
willing to pay tor the islands, provided the
assent of Congress can be obtained, for the
consummation of the same would require
not only the action of the Senate upon
treaty, but the action of the House as well
In the matter of making the necessary ap-
preparation of funds. The obstacles which
still exist, therefore, are located entirely
within Denmark, and when the Danish cab
met can succeed in obtaining the approval
of the Danish people to the alienation OF
this territory, and is willing to accept the
terms offered, treaty will be speedily ar
ranged for submission to Congress at its
next session.

unteers, on duty in the Philippines, who
was tried before general court-martial on
charges of drunkenness on duty and "con-
duct prejudicial to good order and military

found drunk while on duty as officer of
the day, and that at Tuguegarao, Luzon, he
entered private residence and insulted the
owner, Mr.. Otto Weber, by demanding
something to drink, throwing a peso on the
table for payment. This incident was al
legged to have occurred on the 9th Of Octo-
Der last. Lieutenant Williams pleaded mot
guilty to both charges and specifications,
and the court finding him mot guilty. of
each, he was released from arrest and re-
stored to duty.

THE BACQUEREL RAYS.
Secret Experiments Expected to Have
Important Results.

Experiments with a new process some
what similar to the celebrated Roentgen or
X-rays are being conducted in great Sc
crecy at Berlin institute, according to
communication received at the State De-
partment from Consul General Guenther at
Frankfort, Germany. The new species OF
ray are called Bacquerel rays, after their
discoverer, a French chemist, who first put
his discovery before the public in 1895. In
the furore which the Roentgen rays created
in the medical world these Bacquerel rays
were lost sight of. The experiments are
said to have disclosed the fact that an
entirely new element is responsible for the
Bacquerel rays, and that they render al
most every transparent substance luminous
in the darkness.
Consul General Guenther states that the
new rays make it possible to tell genuine
diamonds from artificial ones in the dark
which fact would prove of great practical
Importance in testing. The experiments, it
is stated, have also demonstrated that rays
emanating from a larger quantity of the
new element make the air such a con-
ductor Of electricity as to promise that the
property can be utilized in wireless telegra-
ply. The results of the experiments, it is
stated, will be laid before Emperor Will
liam, (which" says the consul general,
seems to indicate that the discovery is
regarded as one Of great Importance"

REP BLICANS CONFER
NO REORGANIZATION OF SENATE
COMMITTEES AT PRESENT.
The Question to BE Deferred Unth
Next Winter - CIOture Advocates
Have Not Abandoned Hope.

The republican senatorial conference de-
cided not to reorganize the committees at
this session. This means an early adjourn
ment of the Senate. probably tomorrow.
The conference was without exciting in
cident, although many speeches We're made.
Two resolutions were considered and both
were voted down. The first was offered by
Senator Mason, and provided for the i'm
mediate reorganization of the committees.
Senator Foraker presented the second.
and it provided for the appointment of a
committee to consider the basis of a reor-
ganiZation and report at the beginning of
the session of Congress commencing next
December. The roll was not called on either
vote, but the majority against both propo-
sitions was large. The effect of these two
negative votes is to leave the question of
organization where 1t was before the con-
ference was held and to defer all action un-
til the December session.
The speeches against the reorganiZat ton at
this time were all based upon the plea that
to enter upon a reorganization at this time
meant the indefinite prolongation of the
present special session To this argument
the reply was made that it was better to
take the time for this necessary work now
when only one house is in session and no
legislation is pending. than to defer it to
a time when both houses will be in session
and both will have business to transact.
orally taking the position that they were
willing to be guided by the experienced
Senate leaders
As to CIOture.
The advocates of a change in the Senate
rules so as to provide for cloture in some
form have by no means abandoned the
project.
While nothing can be done at this ses-
sion, there is a determined purpose to eff
feet change in the rules at the beginning
of the regular session next winter
The decision that the reorganization of
the Senate committees should be left over
until the regular session, 1t is probable that
the matter of rules and committee assign
ments will then be considered. There is a
question of a small amount of patronage
for the minority involved in the organiza-
tion of the committees.
A few of the democrats are favorably
disposed toward a more modified form of
cloture than that proposed by the repub-
Hcans, and there Is talk of compromise,
but the disposition of the advocates of
cloture is to force through a rule which
will go to the full extent of what they
want. They expect to be able to do this
Notwithstanding the difficulties of filibuster

PRESIDENT s"1u Probably stand by
Secretary Root.
There is a strong impression among sena-
tors that the President will not decline to
appoint Col. Sanger as assistant secretary
of war II Secretary Root insists upon 1t.
1t Is suggested that, while the President
will be loath to displease Senator Platt of
New York. he will, If compelled to choose
between them adhere to Root rather than
to the senator. Senator PIatt has declared
his purpose to fight Col. SangeFs confirma-
ton if his name is sent to the Senate, and
in this attitude he has the agreement of
his colleague. If the appointment in oues-
ton were to a federal office located within
the state of New York senatorial courtesy
might accord to Mr.. Platt and Mr. Depew
the right to demand the rejection of the
nominee by the Senate. but 1t is doubtful
whether the republicans in the Senate
would feel compelled to respect the wishes
of the two New York senator's with respect
to the appointment of Col. Sanger, which
would have no relation to the state of New
York. except that Col. Sanger happens to
be New Yorker
1t Is believed that Mr. Platt would fail
utterly If he should attempt to secure the
support Of the Senate in a fight against the
administration over this appointment.
