MAY TURN DlSLOYAL.
The Position Of Cape Colony Is Hanging ~
the Balance.

London, Dec. 27.-The position Of
Cape Colony is hanging in the balance.
According to the Morning Posts Cape
Town correspondent everything depends
upon the quaint ty of ammunition in
the possession of the disloyal Dutch
residents. 100 of whom have joined the
Beers in the Phillipstown district
alone. Energetic measures have been
taken to stem the invasion. but there
is unquestionably danger that parties
Of Beers will get through into parts of
the Colony and gradually raise the
whole Cape in rebellion. Reinforce.
ments can arrive none too soon.
Most of the dispatches from Cape
Town state that the raiders are doing
little harm, and are being rapidly en-.
closed by Lord kitchener's combina.
ton. Lord Kitchener is in the heart
of the disaffected districts. He has
the advantage Of being personally &C.
quainted with local conditions. Last
March he supervised the suppression
of the rising which occurred then. He
is bringing down thousands of troops
from the North.
The Standards Cape Town CORE.
spondent says the loyalists demand
that maj tial law shall be proclaimed
throughout Cape Colony, but adds:
"Such a step is now impossible. owing
to the lack Of sufficient troops to en-.
force it,"

CHINA WILL ACCEPT
ENJOYS Believe She Will Con.
cede Powers Demands.
RtNoLeADERs HAVE BEEN ARRESTED
Princes Tuan and Chung Taken Into Custody
In the lnterior-Yu nsisn Ordered to
Return to Sinan Flu to Be Executed.

London, Dec. 27.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Standard tele.
graphing Dec. 20, says:
''The government has arrested Prince
Tuan and Prince Chung on the borders
Of the Shan 81 and Shen 81 provinces.
Yu Hsien has been ordered to return
to Sinan Flu forthwith, to be executed,
it is supposed.
ut Is inferred from these reports
that the imperial authorities are pre-.
pairing to concede the demand OF the
joint note for the punishment OF the
instigators of the trouble in China"
According to a news agency's dis.
patch from Pekin dated Dec. 26, the
foreign ministers there are unanimous.
ly Of the opinion that China will &C.
cept the conditions imposed by the
month. The note was started on its
way to the dowager empress and the
emperor Immediately after its presen.
tation, but communication is slow, and
it probably will not reach them until
Dec. ~.
"Vice.Admiral Aliexoff." says the
St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times, "has issued orders to the men
under his command in China to make
detailed lists OF the Chinese property
money. cattle, provisions. etc.,-taken
by them, and where such property now
is" The correspondent also says that
attachments of Russians in Southern
and Southeastern Manchu,ia continue
the work OF exterminating disorganized
Chinese troops and brieands.
A dispatch from Pekin to news
agency here dated Dec. 20, says mis-
sionaries state that Boxers IS miles east
of Pekin killed II Catholics and burned
eight in the TEMPLES.

FiLlPlNOS AND AUTONOMY
Recently Organized Party Has Been Formal.
" Launched

~ LauUCNeu
Manila, Dec. 26.-The recently or.
ganized autonomy party was launched
today at . meeting attence by virtu.
ally all the loyal Filipino leaders in
Manila. The de .laration of principles
was read and after some discussion
adopted by . vote of 1913, less than
half dozen declining to vote All
signed an endorsement Of the platform,
including Senior Palermo, one OF the
most influential of the former insur
gent leaders, whose real attitude
toward American authority has been
much questioned.
The principal discussion was with
reference to the organixa ton of the
government OF the party. A council OF
20 members was elected together with
an executive committee, including
Senior Arellano, chief justice of the
Supreme court; Frank II. Bourne,
Senior Amriosos F1ores. u former insur.
gent; General Senior Florentino Torres.

But Kitchener Cannot Drive
Them From Cape Colony.
EFFECT OF KlrcHENERs PROCLAMATION
Westward Movement Of the Dutch From the
vryburs District-Dewet in South.
eastern Orange River Colony.

London, Dec. 29.-The latest die.
patches from South Africa show that
Lord Kitchener has succeeded in hold.
ing the Beers in check. He has not
yet been successful in expelliug them
from Cape Colony, while different
commanders continue to display aston.
ishing activity over an immensely wide
field.
1t is questionable whether his proc.
lamation will have much effect until
General Dewet is captured. The Beers
are likely to regard it as sign of
weakness and to have wholesome
dread of vengeance if they surrender.
The proclamation is approved by the
party at home that favors conciliatory
terms to the Beers as q step in the
right direction.
Queen Victoria, it is said, has ap
proved the proposal to institute new
order of knighthood to reward officers
who have served in South Africa.
The order will probably be called the
Star of Africa.
A dispatch from Vryburg, dated De.
cember 20, says that Beers in consider.
able numbers were making move.
ment westward. They had 100 wagons.
The dispatch suggests that they were
trekking to Damara Land, although
the Beers themselves denied any such
intention.

CLAIMS AGAINST HAWAII.
Chinese and japanese Want Pay for Property
Destroyed During Bubonic Plague.

Washington, Dec. 29.-It is expect.
I'd that Governor Cole, OF Hawaii, will
make recommendation to the Hawaii.
n Legislature. which meets in Febru.
ary, for the settlement OF the claims of
Chinese and Japanese growing out of
the destruction of their properly at
Honolulu at the time of the bubonic
plague outbreak. 1t appears that the
Chinese claims are less than was at
first estimated, and that the total of
the Chinese and Japanese claims are,
approximately, 81, 100000. The Chi.
nese government has not been in q
condition, of late, to exert pressure In
behalf of the claims of its citizens, but
the Japanese authorities have been &C.
lively looking out for the losses sus.
taine.l by their countrymen, and now
seem to be in fair way of securing
partial remuneration. Governor Dole
suggested short time ago that the
matter be referred to the Hawaiian
legislature, and this was approved by
the officials here as the best means of
adjusting the matter. There appears
to be little doubt that the legislature
will authorize a settlement.
