London. Sept 26-Lord Miner has not ae-
cepted the Colonial SecretaTyship. as was stated
In a report current here this morning 1t Is
learned however that he contemplates leaving
Carlsbad for England for the purpose of con-
ferring with Mr. Balfour. and that he Is likely
to arrive here at the beginning OF next week
So determined was Lord Miner to refuse a
Cabinet Office. that he told friends only few
days ago that he would remain on the Con-
tinent for a long rest. His arrival in London
and his change Of plans will doubtless give rise
10 many reports OF his acceptance OF the Colo
NAL Seeretaryship: but it will probably be sew
eraI days before Lord Miner himself can def
initely decide whether or not he can see his
way clear to overcome the difficulties which
prompted him to refuse the offer made to him
to become Mr. Chamberlain's successor.
Other reports circulated here. announcing
serious hitch in the reconstruction OF the Caoi-
net. are based solely upon a general lack OF
knowledge OF Lord Miners intentions
Mt BaIfour regards Lord Miner as necessary
to the success Of the Cabinet. and is willing 10
postpone the reconstruction Of the Ministry IN
definitely so long as there is a chance OF get
ting the High Commissioner Of South Africa to
accept the vacant post.

WARsHIPS MAY REMAIN AT BEIRUT.
Minister Leigkman Thinks 1t Unsafe to
Withdraw the Squadron at Present.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Withdrawal OF the
American warships from Beirut seems unlikely
for the present in view Of cable dispatch re-
ceived at the State Department to-day from
Minister Leishman. at Constantinople, saying
that. although his advices from Beirut indicate
that the situation is quiet just now. nothing
like permanent order has been established. Mr.
Leishman says that the state of affairs may yet
be regarded as uncertain 1t is indicated I'm Mr.
Leshman's dispatch that the departure OF the
warships might be the occasion for renewal Of
the riots. This confirms the opinion held by
State Department officials that the quiet at
Beirut is due directly to the presence Of Ameri-
can warships of that port. Minister Leishman
adds that the new Governor Of Beirut is &C
lively inaugurating reforms there. but that it is
not yet certain he will be able to handle the
situation. How far he has the backing Of the
Porte in his activity in behalf of foreigners and
their interests is not stated.
Rear Admiral Cotton, commanding the Euro
pean Squadron, informs the Navy Department,
under date Of Beirut. September %, that Beirut
is quiet. and that the case Of the American vice
consul is still pending.
