Kitchener Refused Complete amnesty
to Leaders.

LONDON, March 25.-The Daily
Chronicle. processing to be able to
give an outline OF the negotiations be-
tween Lord Kitchener and General
Botha, says:
The chief obstacle to settlement
was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders of
the rebels In Cape Colony. He offered
selfgovernment 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 oomman-
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 rifle, except by special II.
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 ia
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

GIBRALTAR, March 25.-The ar

today. The New York will convey Mr..
Gummere, United States consul gen.
eral, from Tangier to the seaport OF
Mazagan, whence he will u avel over
land to Morocco City, tile political
capital of Morocco, there to demand
from the sultan an apology for an APP
parent discourtesy to the United
States, committed by the sultan's
grand viZier and his minister to for
eign affairs. At the same time, Mr..
Gummere will request the sultan TO
settle certain claims of the United
States long pending against the gov
ernment of Morocco. these claims
arose largely from alleged undue In
reference by officials of the sultan
with American citizens doing busi-
ness In Morocco. When Mr.. Gum
mere said he would see the sultan
personally on the matter OF these
claims, he was told by the grand
vizier and his minister of foreign af-
fairs that any such effort would be
useless, as the sultan would remove
himself and his ministers from their
capital, Morocco City IL the Ameri-
can consul attempted to visit them
there. This aiscourteous statement
constitutes the offense for which the
Moroccan government has been asked
for apology and to secure which apol-
ogy Mr.. Gummere. backed up by the
New York at Mazagan. will travel
overland to the sultan's capital

some difficulty and delay last year in

Morocco for the latter's failure to

After considerable correspondence on
the matter and after the United
States had threatened to send a war

ANXIOUS TO ASSIST CHINA.

Feet.

PEKIN, March Is. - The British
headquarters here report the with
drawal of both the Russian and Brit
ish troops from the disputed terri.
tory in Tien Tsin. NJ. De Giers, the
Russian minister to China, believes
that everything win be amicably ad-
justed at London and st. Peters
burg, and doubts the probability Of
further trouble in the matter. Gen
eral Voyron. commander of the
French troops, has ordered q new
regiment to Tien Tsin to replace the
one now here. French officers here
think 1t was mistake to leave a
regiment recruited in a city at Tien
Tsin. This regiment was composed
of tough Paris element.
At the meeting of the ministers
held this morning. the only question
considered was that OF policing the
legation quarters. A committee Of
commissioners has been appointed to
discover China's resources and re-
port on her ability to pay the indem-
nifty to be demanded by the powers.
Many ministers are strongly OPP
posed to China's having to pay to
keep an army of from 10000 to H.
600 men here for the next two years,
thinking this entirely unnecessary
Even those ministers who were here
during the siege were tired of see
ing Pekin a military camp. They
hope China will be put on her feet
as soon as possible.

Prepared.
WASHINGTON March 20, - Now
that the war department has funds
available. II ls the purpose to push
work as rapidly as possible on the
telegraph cable from Skagway TO Ju.
neau. Alaska. This cable, approx.
mately 1876 mise long. is TO be laid
by contract with funds made avail
able at the last session of congress.
In his last annual report TO the Sec
retary, the chief signal officer. Brig
adier-General A. w. Greeiy, strongly
recommended the laying OF such
cable, saying there was pressing
need for n cable between these two
cities. This. he said. would not only
connect the MILITARY posts at Skag.
way with Juneau, the capital OF
Alaska, but would enable the terri.
torial authorities to reach. via Skagway
and Dawson. the points In the YUKON
valley now so remote that as rule
not more than two or three letters
upon any subject can be exchanged
In the course OF a year.
OF course. this cable, while not laid
primarily to connect with line rum
ming down the coast to the states,
will be valuable adjunct In case such
a project is later adopted by con
gress. Il Is estimated that caDle
could be laid from Skagway to Val.
des, $50 miles, for 100000, and that
a cable from Skagway to Seattle,
passing outside OF Vancouver and
Queen Charlotte islands, so as
to avoid international complications,
which would be at least 100 miles
long, could be laid for about $780,
900.
"These cable connections" says
General Greedy, ''seem absolutely es.
sential II the United States intends to
encourage commercial and other en-.
terprlses In Alaska with a view to
development and Its becoming as Is
possible, territory OF the greatest
financial value to the American Re-
public"
In speaking of the work soon to
be begun, General Greely said that
there were now available sufficient
funds for purchasing and laying the
Skagusy.Juneau cable. The cable
is to be laid by contract, the firm
manufacturing 1t being required to
lay II. Advertisements for proposals
are now being prepared, containing
all The specifications. The cable Ia

perience has shown that no other In
su;atlon can successfully be used In
