lengthy conference OH Gun Hill that
morning. Gen. Botha was alone and
Gen. Kitchener was accompanied by

sor, says Gen. Kitchener met Gen
Botha and other Boer leaders at Mid
dleburg on February %, when the
question of the possibility of the ter
mination of hostilities was discussed.
According to the Sun the surrender
of Gen. Botha would have been ac-
complished before now had Gen. Kitch-

the terms of surrender. When the
surrender occurs, the Sun adds, it

DON'T LIKE SPooNER BILL.
American Business Men at Manila Objec
ito the Timber Provisions
Has 100000 Population.

Manila, March disappointment
among American business men here
with the limitations of the Spooner
amendment to the army bill is in
creasing as its provisions become bet
ter known. 1t is considered to be es-
pecially unfortunate in apparently
prohibiting the issuing of licenses for
the cutting of timbers upon public
lands. If this Interpretation proves
correct it will be bonanza for the
owners of private timber lands in
these islands and the beginning of
building activity in all towns will be
considerably retarded.
Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, commander of
the department of northern Luzon, re-
ports the troops of his department
to be in excellent health. Less than
eight per cent. of them are sick. The
Manila board of health has announced
that on an estimated population of
100000 for the city of Manila, the an
nua1 death rate is "a per 1000.
