'The situation In France Is critical,

There Is some feeling on the part of

the way we have encroached on Ger

commercial one. Englishmen think
that Oom Inu1 need a thrashing.
There Is little doubt In England that
there will be a fight, and of course that
England will win. "It la our duty

General Otis to devote more attention

The plans Involved no marked de
parture from that already pursued by
which General Otis ha rematned for
the last year ln the city of Manila and
Intrusted the Immediate charge of all
expeditions to the subordinate gen

rely more upon Lawton, MacArthur,
Wheoton, Young, Schwan and perhaps
Wheeler, and devote his energies to
sending forward the men and supplies
at such a rate as speedily to occupy
the entire country, at the same time
providing for the prompt establish
ment of competent civil government
and garrisons ln captured districts.
Under this scheme, It Is not proposed
that any town shall b. abandoned

OUTLOOK MORE PACIFIC.
Today Cabinet Meeting Will Decide
Strength of Kruger'a Army.
NEW YORK. Sept 8.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London, saya:
Reports that 10,000 troops will be
mo-ed Immediately from India to Natal
and that Sir Redvers Buller will be ap
pointed commander of the British forc
es in South African are premature, but
the situation Is critical without doubt
Today's cabinet meeting will be de
cisive and the result can be Inferred
from the text of th. Boer reply an
the probable effect H - will have on
Ixrd Salisbury and Mr. Balfour, who
will together hold Mr. Chamberlain
under restraint That reply Is des
cribed by many Journals a Insolent,
but It withdraw -.he suzerainty ques
tion and leaves the way open to a con
ference.
The concensus of opinion In London
Is that a close approach will be made'
to war and such a catastrophe will be
prevented In the end by the Interven
tion of the Cape ministers and the re
treat of Kruger who Is cautious enough
to keep a bridge open on his rear.
Mining operators, even millionaires
don't know which way affairs are going
and there is no business in the South
Africa market. Sir Alfred Buller will
command the British forces In the
event of war. '
Kruger's forces are ordinarily set
down as 20.000. A good many of his
warriors are dead men who are brought
to life when there Is an election but
those who are living shoot straight.
The queen's Influence will be great
at the cabinet meeting. Mr. Chamber
lain Is her favorite minister, who la
at court oftner than any of his assoc
iates but the queen Is above all a
champion of peace.
