His majesty's government are In
formed by the Cape government that
their views regarding the terms to be
granted to British subjects in Cape
Colony now in the field, or who have
surrendered or been captured since
April -, 1901, are as follows: With
regard to the rank and file, they should
all, after surrender and giving up their
arms, sign document before the resi-
dent magistrate of the district in
which they surrender, acknowledging
themselves guilty Of high treason, and
the punishment to be accorded them,
provided they are not guilty of murder
or acts contrary to the usages Of civil
ICED warfare, shall be that they are not
entitled for life to be registered voters
or vote in any parliamentary Or pro-
vincial council or municipal election.
"With reference to justices Of the
peace, field comets and all others who
hold official positions under the govern
ment of Cape Colony. or who have
been occupying a position of authority,
or who have held commands in the
rebel or burgher forces, they shall be
tried for high treason before the Or
dinary courts Of the country, or such
special courts as may hereafter be con-
stituted, their punishment to be lett
to the discretion Of such court, with
the proviso that in no case shall the
penalty of death be inflicted.
"Ihe Natal government are of the
opinion that rebels should be dealt
with according to the law Of that
colony"
ssThese arrangements, - concluded
Mr.. Balfour, "the government have
approved. -

ANOTHER BRAVE SCIENTIST.
American Explorer Ascends La
soufriere During Eruption.

Kingstown, Island of St. Vincent,
B. ". L, Friday, May 3o.-La Sou
friere volcano is still active. Another
eruption occurred at 3 O'Clock this
morning. It was accompanied by a
thunderous noise and shock Of earth
Quake, while volumes of dense vapor
ascended to such a height that they
were visible from hingstown. The
vapor formed a thick cloud over the
cater of the volcano and this cloud
was Illuminated as if by fire. In the
crater itself the lightning was more
vivid than upon any previous occasion.
No damage was done and the erup-
tion ceased at the end Of an hour.
With the exception of these occurrences
the night was quiet and the weather
fair. Throughout Friday the crater
was capped with dense gray and silver
clouds and sand fell heavily this morn
ing on the leeward side of the noun
tain. within a radius of eight miles.
The American scientist who started
to ascend La Soufriere is still striving
to reach the summit. During the inter-
vals when the volcano was quiet yester-
day he reached point almost half way
up the mountains. He reports, to the
awe of the inhabitants, that the island
of St. Vincent may subside. There are
clear indications, he says, that a con-
siderable portion of the leeward dis
trict will subside.
Owing to the continuous rain there
have been heavy floods in the wind
ward district of the island and many
houses have been washed way or filed
with mud. At Rabacca, the store
house, large brick building, was
washed away into the sea by a stream
of mud.

pROVIDING FOR LAuRlH.
Little Doubt He will Be Court Of
Claims Judge.

. Senator McLaurin is inst now en-
gagged IN the annoying occupation Of
trying to convince President Roosevelt
that he can be confirmed as Judge OF
the Court of Claims should such
nomination go to the Senate, says
Washington special to the Charleston
News and Courier.
Tt has been freely stated at the
Capitol that Senator Tillman and
other Democratic Senators would op-
pose the nomination of Mr.. McLaurln
should the President conclude to ap-
point him to life position in the
Sadiieial branch sofsthe Government.
ITS understood that the President
FORMALLY rendered an appointment
to the Court of Claims to Senator
McIaurin, but with the understand
ing that there must be no protraeted
contest over the nomination. To that
end certain Senators, who are person
aIly friendly to the junior Senator
from South Carolina, .haYesrecelzed an
:intima tion that letter to the Presl-
dent from them in behalf of Senator
MeLaurin's appointment would be
considered as a partial guarantee that
his selection would be acceptable TO
his Senatorial associates. It is taken
for granted, of course, thatthe Repnb-
slicans are unanimous in their endorse,
ment of his appoint ntnaent. It is SAID
that friendly letters, setting forth
Senator McIaurin's legal and personal
qualifications for place On the Court
of Claims bench, have been written to
the President by Senators Morgan and
Pettus, Of Alabama: Bailey, of Texas !;
sMcEnery, Of Louisiana; McLaurin. of
Mississippi; Taliaferro, of Florida,
and that one or two others have indl-
Gated an intention to do likewise.
It has been the custom Of the Senate
for many years for Senators on both
sides of the chamber to make unan-
imous request to the President to take
care of popular Senators who are
about &c. retire from that BODY
through no fault Of their own.
It is doubtful whether Senator Till
man would go to the extent OF joining
in a unanimous request to the Presl-
dent in behalf Of his young colleague,
but those who have talked with him
on The subject of the McLaurin ap-
pointment have been impressed with
the. idea that he would raise no seri-
ous objection TO such a choice by the
President. 1t is contended that the
appointment Of Senator MeLaurin to.
such an important position would be
IN the nature of a substantial verifca-
tioa of the charges which Senator
Tillman has made against his col
league, in and out of the Senate, to
the effect that Senator McLaurin' s de-.
sertion from the Democratic party was
induced or Influenced to some degree
by the promise OF future reward at the
3aands of the Republican administra-

Five tars of the United States

duty on the Charleston County chain
gang, as a result OF little disturb
ance they INDUCED in on the streets
OF this city one day last week. Crack

A Woman's Grave Decorated.

In the Decoration Day ceremonies at
the Florence national cemetery last
saturday, Mrs. Theodore Kuker espe-
c;ally decorated the woman's grave
with a waiter of the choicest flowers.
It is not generally known that wom-
an is buried here It is bit Of ro-
nance that one seldom encounters. It
appears that she enlisted to follow her
sweetheart. Donning mems clothes.
she entered company, frail looking
youth, was in several battles and
finally captured, was sent to Ander.
sonville, Ca, where she suffered the
bardships of prison life and endured
them rather than have her identity
disclosed, which would have caused
her immediate release. From Ander-
sonville she was transferred to Flor
ence. where she died, and only at her
death was it known that she was a
woman.

They Object to Judge speer.

sT = .
Messrs. Greene and Gaynor, the
American fueitives now in prison in
Quebec, Of their own choice, to avoid
extradition to answer the charge of
embezzlement in connection with the
case of Capt. 0. NJ. Carter and the
frauds in the Savannah harbor con-
tracts, have notified the Attorney
General that they are willing to re-
turu to the United States and stand
trial before any Judge of United
States court excepting Judge Emory
Speer, of Georgia.
This astonishing statement was
made, says Washington dispatch, by
Andrew j. Rose, one of the leading
counsel in the case of Capt. Carter,
and afterwards prominent as one OF
the defenders of Messrs. Greene and
Gaynor.

President Kruger Will Sign.

It is said in Brussels that the Boer
delegates in Europe now admit that
peace in South Africa has been Sc
cured and that the settlement between
the Beers and Great Britain will be
signed in the names of the former citi-
zens of the South African Republics
who are now in Europe, including Mr..
Kruger, thus preventing the irrecon-
cilables from continuing a guerrilla
warfare on the pretext that they are
obeying the orders of the Boer dele
gates in Europe.

Embarrassed the Bride.

The stories that are afoat in Wash
ington regarding the personality and
characteristics of Minister WI, who
was in Charleston last week, are in
Vulnerable. You can hear them every
where in the capital city. Some are
trne and, as is generally the case with
man prominent in the public eye,
many are far from being so. One
amusing tale regarding the Chinese
minister's attendance at a society
wedding recently will bear repetition.
The best man at the wedding, while
the congratulations were in order,
spied Minister WI, and, being de-
sirous Of doing something really nice
for the bride, approached the repre-
sentative of the "son Of heaven" and
asked him to congratulate the bride af-
ter the manner obtaining in the celes-
tial kingdom.
The ever obliging WI stepped for
ward and with his courtly and digni-
fed bow began:
"May this union bring to you,
fair one, every happiness known under
the sun, and may you bear many.

bear many, many Children 81

Lord Kitchener Cables That Terms
of Surrender Have Been Signed.

London, June Peace has been
declared after nearly tive years and
eight months Of war which tried the
British empire to its uttermost and
wiped the Beers from the list of ma
tions.
The war has come to an end with
Lord Kitchener's announcement from
Pretoria, that he, Lord Miner and
the Boer delegates had signed st terms
of surrender This announcement has
been anticipated for several days, and
it was definitely forecasted, but its re-
ceipt Sunday afternoon took the ma
tion by surprise, as everybody had
confidently believed that the house of
commons would hear the first news
today. The edge of the anticipation
with which Great Britain awaited
the promised statement in the house
Of commons from Mr.. Balfour, the
government leader, was still further
duIled by the following message
from King Edward to his people,
which was issued after midnight:
The king has received the well
come news Of the cessation of hostih-
ties in South Africa with infinite
satisfaction, and his majesty trusts
that peace may speedily be followed
by the restoration of prosperity in his
new dominions, and that the feelings
necessarily engendered by war will
give place to earnest cooperation on
the part of his majesty's South Afri-
can subjects in promoting the welfare
of their common country. =
How greatly King Edwards insist
ence that peace in South Africa be
secured prior to his coronation inhu-
enced the present agreement will prob
ably not be known until the private
memoirs Of the present reigme are
given to the public.
.. NY GOD. IT IS IMPossIBLE." ="
According to a dispatch to The
Daily Express from Utrecht, Holland,
Mr.. Kruger was informed shortly
after g O'Clock last night that peace
had been declared. He had been
asleep. my God,'' he said, sit is
impossible ~
Mr.. Kruger and his entourge, the
dispatch continues, hope to be permit
ted to return to the Transvaal This,
however, is cutie unlikely.
The news which Great Britain was
SO anxiously awaiting came character
istica1y on an entirely pacific and un-
interesting Sunday afternoon, when
London presents a deserted appear
ance. Very late Saturday night dis
patch was received from Lord Kitch-
ener, in which he said the Boer dele
gates were coming to Pretoria, that
they had accepted Great Britain's
terms and that they were prepared to
sign terms of surrender. Mr.. Brod-
erick, the war secretary, personally
communicated this message to King
Edward, who was at Buckingham
palace. But the government declined
to take any chances, and nothing con-
cerning the receipt of this message
was allowed to leak out At about /
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the war
Office received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Preoria,
