MANILA, Jan. 2S.-General Chaffee cur
tailed his trip and returned here TINS
morning. He says he found the condi-
tions satisfactory everywhere except at
Samar, where continuous rain during the
past two months has retarded the cam
paign, especially against such an elusive
enemy.
The condition Of Captain David D. Por-

pedtion into the interior Of Samar, IS
much worse than previously described
They suffered fearful ,hardships and were
without food for several Gays. Inc ma
tivcs who accompanied the marines

the edible roots, which the marines dld
not believe The anger Of the marines

DISAVOW ATTEMPT
AT INTERYENT
Dutch Offer to Bring About
Peace With the
Beers.
(By Associated rress.)

( LONDON, Jan. 2S.--The Government
1et-c;er, a. J. Balfour, announced in the
House of Commons to-day that no over
lures fo.. peace had been received front
anyone authorized to speak in behalf of
the Beers. a communication was, how
ever, received late on Saturday last from
the Dutch Government, which was now
under consideration.
Mr.. Balfour hoped shortly to lay the
communication and the reply to It before
the House.
The Government of Holland had offered
i'll the most friendly terms to help in
bringing about peace in South Africa In
communication to the British Govern
ment, the Dutch Government suggests
that it be allowed to act as a sort of
diplomatic agent for the Boer delegates
The Dutch Government, however. ex-
pressly disavows any attempt at inter
Eention and does not mention any terms.
It was learned by. a. representative of
the Associated Press that the British
+. Government infers that it would not
have been approached unless the Dutch
authorities We're convinced that the Boer
delegates, now in Europe, were willing
to accept the cardinal points of the
British peace terms, SO frequently an
.nounced in Parliament.
/. Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary,
replied in friendly terms to the Neither
lands proposal. but instituted inquiries
in order to ascertain the extent of the
spowers delegated to the Mr.. Kruger and
the other Boer representatives in Europe
to act in behalf of the burghers in the
field.
Great doubt is expressed at the For
eign Office here as to whether any nego-
tiations carried on by the Boer delegates
through the Dutch Government or
other channels will prove effectual. II
sufficient guarantees in this respect can
be secured negotiations will be begun i'm
mediately. This doubt in regard to the
authority OF Mr.. Kruger and others to
speak for the fighting burghers is per-
ceptible in the statement Mr.. Ba1four
made in the House of Commons to-day.

MANILA, Jan. 2S.-The criticism of the
Senate minority report on the Philippine
tariff bill has been general, both in pub
lie and private, here, though many peo-
pie admit the statements made in the
report are correct.
General Wheaton's vigorous criticisms
referred entirely to Professor Schurman's
speecb at Roston though he holds the Pro
lessor in high personal esteem. The state
ment that person who made such re-
marks here as those credited to the Pro
fessor during his Boston speech would be
sent to Jail, referred merely to the recent
