in Cape Colony is Rampant.
INV the Associated Press.)

London, May 29.-The British Cabinet
which was specially summoned last
night, was in session this morning for
little over an hour. 1t is generally
accepted, however, that the session
though brief. sufficed to put the final
touches on the agreement which will
terminate the war.
There is no doubt whatever in the
House of Commons or elsewhere that a
full, peace settlement will be announced
Monday next.
According to the latest uncensored cor
respondenee from Cape Town, the Beers
are still in constant occupation of at
least twenty-five different localities in
Cape Colony. having more than score
of bands OF raiders. mounted and arm
ed, and of sufficient mobility to defy
successful pursuit, although the British
have often swept and cleared every mile
of the colony's territory. The correspon-
dent reports that the invasion is more
actively aggressive than ever, and re-
bellion is more rampant"

LEO AND HIS ALMONER.

The death Of Cardinal Ciasca. who
died recently, recalls a very pleasing
anecdote Of Pope Leo. Cardinal CT
asca was a singularly brusque. angu-
lar. and austere prelate. This was due,
perhaps. to the fact that he was or
fgfnaIly a monk of the strictest branch
Of the Augustinian Order, and it vas
as general Of the latter that he first
attracted the attention Of the present
Pontfn by his economy and integ-
rity. One day when the Pope was re-
ceiving Father Ciasca he said he was
particularly glad to see him, as he
wished to make arrangements with him
far the settlement of a debt which he
| felt that he owed TO the Augustinian
Order.
The general was totally at loss to
understand what was meant until Leo
XIII explained that when. at the be-
ginning Of the nineteenth century, the
first Napoleon, after his conquest OF
italy. had ordered the sale Of all mo-
nastic property, the Pecci family had
taken advantage OF che fact to pur-
chase the Augustinian monastery at
Carpenito- The Pope added. My
| father often spoke about restoring
/ this property to the order from which
1t had beer taken by Napoleon, but the
| circumstances were not then favorable
for any such step. But think that
the moment has now come to fulfill
his wishes and to pay the debt Of the
family" And, thereupon, he not mere
| " handed to the general OF the Au-
/ gustinians the title deeds Of the prop
erty in question, but likewise a sum Of
! 1o0, 900 francs. to be employed in re
! storing the monastery for the purpose
for which it was originally intended.
Some time later Father Ciasca re-
| auested an audience Of the Pope, and
returned to him a sum Of SO, 900 francs,
! informing him that the repairs and
/ the necessary alterations had been ex-
ecuted lar more cheaply than antici-
pated. This delighted Leo XIII, for he
had been accustomed throughout his
long reign to find more often than not
| that the original estimates had been
| inadequate, and that he was generally
called upon to pay more than he in
i tended. After that he saw Father CT
! asca often, appointed him secretary
general OF the Propaganda and arch
bishop in partIbus infdeIium- As such
| the Pope intrusted him with the dis
tribution of his own particular aims
and charities. He became a kind of
lord high aImoneF at the Vatican In
course OF time the archbishop was
raised to the rank OF cardinal, and his
death has been a severe blow TO the
aged Pontif.
