WHY RoTHA DECLINED.
Kitchener Refused Complete Amnesty
to Leaders.

LONDON, March 25-The Daily
Chronicle, protesting to be able to
give an outline of the negotiations be
tween Lord Kitchener and General
Botha, says:
THE chief obstacle to a settlement
was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders OF
the rebels in Cape Colony. He offered
self-government on the lines of jana
lea Immediately upon the cessation OF
hostilities, with legislative bodies
partly elected by the burghers. The
government agreed to provide G1.
100000 to compensate Beers for prop
erty destroyed and articles comman-
deered by the Beers on commando
provided the signatures of the Of
ficers who commandeered the goods
were forthcoming, He also offered to
grant loans on easy terms for rebuild
ing and restocking farmsteads. More.
over, he agreed that children should
be instructed in English or Dutch, at
the discretion of their parents. The
government undertook to make no
claim on church property or funds, or
upon hospitals or hospital funds, or
upon private investments. No burgher
of either state was to be allowed to
possess a rife, except by special IL
cense.
General Botha was generally in
favor of these conditions, but he dis
sented strongly from a proposal to
give the full privilege of citizenship to
properly domciled and registered
blacks. He was also greatly con
cerned about the position Jewish cap
iIalists would occupy in the country
and was told that Jews and Chris
tians would enjoy equal rights, no dis.
tinction being maze in the matter OF
concessions"

A RIVER OF FIRE.
Flaming oil Destroyed New Jersey
VILLAGE.

Village.
! NEW YORK, March Pa river of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village OF Glengarden, ~ j., while its
Inhabitants were asleep this morning,
and reduced IL buildings, stores and
residences to ashes. The conhagra-
tion was extraordinary in character,
ana in it's origin. The village is in a
valley along the New Jersey Central
Railroad. An immense freight train
was coming east at $3.50 A. M. It was
composed Of a string OF coal cars, and
IS tank cars. High above the village
the tracks of the railroad run along
the side of a mountain. They descend
as they approach the village, but even
at the station are considerably above
the main street, which runs up to the
depot at a steep incline.
A few miles west of the village,
while coming down the incline around
the mountain the train parted The
engineer on the forward end pulled
open the throttle of the engine
and tried to race away from
the section, which was increasing
its speed every second. He man
aged to keep clear of the racing
cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first. The first sec
| tion, composed of the coal cars, was
going at a high rate of speed and
none Of its cars we're iolted off the
track The oil tanks on the runaway
section were hurled sideways across
/ bn NJ hA oil ha
hind were piled on top Of 1t in every
way. The first crash caused the oil
in one of the tanks to explode, and
ignite, and the terrific heat caused the
other cars to explode, one after the
other. The incline running from the
depot down to the main street acted
as sluice for the burning OIL and 1t
poured into the chief thoroughfare of
the village, setting fire to every thing
| it touched. Houses, fences, trees,
shrubbery and barns we're reduced to
ashes in an incredibly short time.
Villagers awakened oy the explo-
sions rushed from the on-coming food
of blazing OIL carrying children in
their arms. Some risked their lives to
free horses, cows and dogs in outbuild-
ings, but other unfortunate animals
could not be reached in time, and were
burned. Within five minutes after the
first explosion the flowing river of oil
had reached the Masonic Temple in
the heart of the village and ten min
utes later that structure was envel-
oped in flames. Then building after
building, all Of them frame, took fire
as the oil reached them, and within
half an hour an area of 400 feet square
was a mass of flame. From the
wrecked cars the oil flowed down the
incline of the railroad track, making a
long line of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted the tracks. The
loss is estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000.

The dismissal of Mr.. McLeavy

WANT CIVIL RULE.

Neeros Is Ready for Provincial Gov
ernment.
BACALOR, Island of Negros, March
25.-According to expressions of a
large majority OF the delegates from
Occidental Negros and of few who
were present from the Oriental side,
the sentiment of the people is over
whelmingly in favor of succeeding
the present governments by provin-
cial governments in both divisions.
The reasons given for TINS view are
that such change will effect reduc-
tion of taxes and the high salaries of
officials, the establishment of schools
and the improvement of roads. The
speakers alleged that owing to lack
of means of education, liberty was
becoming license. The military com
mander is credited with having or
ganized the only schools. They are
taught by soldiers. Commissioner
Taft assured the delegates that Ne.
gros would be supplied with Ameri
can teachers and he outlined the need
of organizing provinces uniformly
with other islands.
The announcement of yesterday S
surrenders in the island OIL Panay was
greeted with applause.

POSITION OF CHILE.
She Is Determined to Keep Tacna and
africa,


NEW YORK, March 27.-Chile's
purpose to retain the provinces of Tao.
ma and africa, Notwithstanding the pro.
tests of Peru and Bolivia, is formally
acknowledged in an official statement
of the Chilean case communicated to
the United States and other powers,
says the Washington correspondent of
the Herald. The announcement of this
purpose is coupled with charges Of
bad faith made by Chile against Peru
and Bolivia. These charges are coun.
ter to similar allegations made by the
two last named countries against
Chile.
Chile seeks to prevent any interven-
tion on the part of the United States
in the South American dispute. Peru
and Bolivia are utilizing every chan
mel to bring pressure to bear upon the
administration to induce it to take ac-
tion. The president has definitely de-
cided, however that he will not take
action unless all three powers request
it. In view of the latest declaration
made by Chile it is apparent that she
will suffer no outside check in her pur-
pose to acquire definite sovereignty
over the provinces she has conrolled
since the war 20 years ago.

the Experiment.

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 25.-The
territorial supreme court today hand
ed down an important decision in the
matter of the Pima county bonds. 1t is
held that the territory must refund
these bonds, amounting now, with in
terest, to $4,000. incidentally, the
opinion re-establishes the territorial
loan commission which the legisla-
ture sought two years ago to abol-
ish. The bonds, amounting to
100000 were issued by Pima coun-
ty under an act of the legisla-
ture of 1888 to encourage the con-
struction of narrow-gauge railroad
from Tucson to Globe The road
was begun but never finished, and
though these bonds had been turned
over to the promoters, the county re-
fused to pay the interest. All the
bonds are held in New York.

STORM IN COLORADO.
cattlemen Have Already Suffered Loss
Traffic Is Blocked.

SfsN - SfNSfNNNs
DENVER, Colo, March PA storm
has prevailed all over Colorado today,
in some places reaching the proper
tions of a blizzard. Snow has fallen
to depth from three to 10 inches.
The storm still continues with sever
ity In the mountains, blocking rail
roads and traffic generally. Already
cattlemen have suffered loss, and fears
are entertained that the loss will be
greatly increased before the storm is
ended. All trains from the East are
delayed by the storm in Kansas. Reg
ular trains on the Colorado & South
ern between here and Leadville have
been abandoned, as the cuts are filed
with snow. On the western slope the
fall Of snow has been heaviest. In
some places it is 10 inches on the level
and much deeper on the mountains.
Reports come from Lamar, Colo, that
the storm is driving the cattle along
with it, and undoubtedly many will
die from exposure. Reports from the
vicinity of Casper, Wyo., show similar
weather conditions there.
