PEACE PROPOSALS.
What the British Are Willing To Do
With the Beers.

London, Feb. 4.-Lord Lansdowne.
British foreign secretary, says in reply
to the communication of DR.. Kuyper,
premier of the Netherlands, proposing
that. with the object of bringing the
war to an end, mis- majesty's govern
ment might grant safe conduct to Boer
delegates now in Holland for the pur-
pose of enabling them to confer with
Boer leaders in South Africa
Should the Boer delegates them
selves desire to lay the request for
safe conduct before his majesty's gov.
ernment there is no reason why they
should not do so. But his majesty's
government, obviously, is not in posi-
tion to express opinion on any such ap-
plication until they have received it
and is aware of the precise nature and
grounds whereon the request is made.
Il may, therefore, point out that it
is not at present clear in his majesty's
government that the delegates retain
any influence over the representatives
of the Beers in South Africa, or have
any voice in their councils. They are
stated 10y the Netherlands government
to have no such letters of credence
or instruction of later date than
March, 1900. His majestys govern
ment. on the other hand. understood
that all powers of government, includ-
ing those of negotiation, We're now
completely vested in Mr.. Steyn for the
Beers. of the Orange River colony, and
Mr.. Schalk- Burger, for those of the
Transvaal. If this is so, it is evident
that the quickest and most satisfac-
tory means of arranging settlement
would be by direct communication be-
tween the leaders of the Beers in
South Africa and the commander-in-
chief of his majesty's forces, who has
already been instructed TO forward i'm
mediately any offers that he may re-
ceive, for consideration of his ma
jesty's government.

GEN. FUNSTON ReCOV RING.

Washington. d. c., Feb. 4.-Governor
Taft today continued his narrative be-
fore the senate committee on the Phil
ippines concerning the conditions of
the Philippine archipelago.
Speaking of the military policy. Taft
said:
THE war has been all over in these
islands, and that which remains is a
crime against civilization. 1t is also
a crime against the Filipino people to
keep up this state of war under these
circumstances. They have worn out
the right to any treatment. but that
which is severe and within the laws of
war;
Taft also said that majority of the
people in the islands desire peace and
the insurrectionists were by their acts
preventing the mass of the people from
settling down and earning a quiet liv-
ing. Instead of being allowed to do
this, they were kept under a system
of terrorism, which should be stopped.

London, Feb. Am the house of

later British military attache at

had been offered the services of the

American horses for the British army.
A revelation was made during the
heated debate on the remount ques-
ton. The whole debate causes wide
spread indignation among the strong
est supporters of the government, as
well as the opposition. The ministerial
press vigorously charges the war office
with absolute incompetency, if nothing
worse, ana demands of searching in.

more important departments of the

showing than the remount department.

"CHEROKEE DORA"
A Woman and Her Cowboy Friend
Do Up Sarta Rosa.
THEY SHOOT UP TOWN.

Cherokee Dora, of Santa Rosa, has
again come into prominence, this time
by impersonating the typical bad man
of the west, says the Ell Paso Herald.
In company with cowboy she started
in to do the town of Santa Rosa, but
the better class of citizens are tired
Of that kind of work and promptly ar
rested and fined the pair. They paid
their fines and were turned loose.
They were not satisfied and immedi-
ately got their guns and started in to
clean out the town. Dora mounted
her horse and began to ride up and
down the streets looking for the Off
GERS who arrested her. In her search
she ran across one of the men who
testified against her and she promptly
took several shots at him, but her aim
was poor. Dora and the cowboy pro-
ceeded to shoot up the town but were
promptly arrested again, handcuffed
and brought before the justice, who
bound them over to the grand jury.
They were then locked up in a room
and a guard put over them, as Santa
Rosa has no Jail.
The officers expected to take them
to Puerto de Luna, the county seat, and
lodge them in the county Jail. but dur
ing the night they both managed to
escape and left town in short order.
Their absence was not discovered until
the next morning when a posse was
formed and started out to capture
them.
They will undoubtedly be recaptured
and punished to the full extent of the
law The better class of citizens of
Santa Rosa are tired of this kind of
work and have formed themselves into
a sort of vigilance committee with the
avowed purpose of putting down all
lawlessness. They are going at it with
a viii and say they will have peace
able town as there is in the territory
in a very short time. They believe
Santa Rosa will be one of the leading
towns of the territory in the near fu
tuTe. and that the lawless element
must be either driven out or suppress
ed.
They are fining everyone carrying a
gun or otherwise violating the law and
insist that the quicker the bad man is
made thing of the past the quicker
the country will build up with a good
class of citizens.

the government of Venezuela that
France will not sign the protocol pre-
sented by Venezeula for renewal of
diplomatic relations unless NJ. Sc
crestat, Jr., is Immediately authorized
to land at La Guirra, and protect the
interests of his father, who leased the
estates of General Matos, revolution
airy leader, whose property was sub
sequently seized by the Venezuelan
government. In case of VeneZuela's S
refusal France will impose duties on
Venezuelan cocoa, which would be dis
astrous for the Venezuelans.
1t is reported that Venezuelan troops
have been defeated near Baul.
Numerous arrests were made Janu-
airy 27 at Caracas. This is looked upon
as proof that the government is in fear
of more serious complications.

is. The case hinged on the question
whether one who after death of intes-
tate advanced money to defray burial
expenses was a creditor within the
meaning of the statute. The matter is
further complicated by the production
of an Geographic will Argument not
being concluded the case went over till
