 cept Cheeks.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 26.-The State Treasurer today issued an order which sets the financial machinery of the State back some thirty years, in that he gave official notice that henceforth he would not accept checks in payment for money due the State; that any per son owing the State money for land or for any other reason. whether be lived at the remetest or nearest point in the State. or lived in New York. he would have to bring the money to the treasury before he would be receipted for the amount.

CALLS IT BLACK CRIME
BOerS Anxious to End the
 Pr0tracted Conflict.
Their Conditions are Independence and Pardon For the Colonial - Afrikanders-Steyn and Dewet
 Also Protest to Kitchener.

London, Aug. 27.-The Daily Tele- graph publishes today a long inter- view with MT. Kruger at Hilversum on Lord Kitchener's latest proclama- ton. The correspondent says:
 Mir. Kruger, who seemed greatly im- proved in health. spoke vehemently and with intense feelin grejecting the idea that anything had been changed except the attitude of the British Gov ernment. He insisted that the tactics of the Boers were still as regular as at the beginning of the war. Their forces, he said, were smaller and were split up into small columns. He de- clared that ever since the capture of Bloemfontein the British had trampled upon the code of international law. As for provision transports and the cattle the British are continually seizing MT. Kruger said these were intended not for the Boer commandoes. which live from hand to mouth, but for the women and children.
 "He contended that Lord Kitchener's proclamation itself recognized that the Beers had a regular administration and an army. The proclamation could have but one effect-to embitter and intensity resistance. He said the question WuctucT any PfOlCSt aBdlHSl 1t would be issued was still under con- sideration, but this matter was of little import to the burghers who did not look to Europe for approval. blame or instructions.
 Having characterized the proclama- tion as the blackest crime committed against the Boers.' MT. Kruger closed the interview by so1emnIy calling heaven to witness that story of a Dutch conspiracy against the British was an abeminable lie. the most mis- chievous and diabOlical lie ever coined since man first appeared in the world.
 He said, however, that peace was take and that the Boers were ready to make reasonable sacrifices and to give satisfactory guarantees on the basis of independence and free pardon to colo nial Afrikanders."
