Peace 3Ioy Be Secured, but the British Cabinet Rejects Them. LONDON, April IS. The Associated Press has excellent authority for saying that up to a late hour tonight there have been no definite developments in the peace negotiations. It is learned that Lord Mll ner. the British High Commissioner in South Africa, has defined certain propo sitions on which 'peace may be almost Im mediately secured, but me Cabinet, at its meeting today, is said to have disagreed upon the merits of Lord Milner's terms. "Sparring for time" best describes the present status of the negotiations, neither side being willing to risk a decision, which would break off the present conference. An agreement may be reached at any mo ment, but this would more likely be the result of seml-lndependent action by Lord Mllner and Lord Kitchener at Pretoria than of the rather involved conditions of the Cabinet at London. The broad lines of Great Britain's terms are nuw known to the government repre sentatives at Pretoria, and on these re ports the Cabinet Is apparently shifting the responsibility of taking advantage of all opportunities, provided no cardinal principles be sacrificed. The government has ordered the cable and telegraph lines between London, and Pretoria to be kept clear to insure the prompt transmission of Lord Kitchener's messages. There is good reason to believe that the Boers are vigorously demanding1 a repre sentative government, and that this de mand is opposed with equal vigor by the British representatives. It is understood that the Boers strongly oppose the long delay proposed by Great Britain before a representative government be given to the former republics, and that they also insist on a number of Boer seats in the council being specified. It is expected that the Cabinet will reassemble tomorrow to discuss the matter further. After the Cabinet meeting today. Lord Salisbury, the Premier, had an audience with King Edward at Buckingham Palace, and stayed to luncheon with His Majesty. The latter afterward went to Sandring ham. The St. James's Gazette predicts an early public announcement of the progress of peace? negotiations. The paper says there le little doubt that if the British and Boers arrive at an understanding on. the main points of the proposals, peace will ensue, the banishment proclamation will be withdrawn, and minor points, like re stocking the farms, will be referred to a board composed of British and Boer rep resentatives. TEX TI3IDS OVERSUBSCRIBED. Rush for the Kew British "War Loan. LONDON, April 16. There was a tre mendous rusu to subscribe to the new loan of 32,000.000 today. At the Bank of Eng land it was estimated this evening that the loan had been 10 times oversubscribed. The lists -will probably close tomorrow. It was bald today that J. Pierpont Morgan, the Barings and the Rothschilds have se cured an aggregate of 16,000,000 of the new British loan. The remaining 16, 000,000 will be offered to the public. All the grain and flour markets of the United Kingdom further advanced prices today. The price of flour was raised an other shilling per sack. In the Yarmouth grain market, the price of red wheat ad vanced as much as 2 shillings per quarter. CHINESE REBELS VICTORIOUS. Trro Thousand Regrulars Ambushed In a Narrow Defile. HONG KONG, April 16. A courier who arrived at Canton yesterday reported that over 2000 imperialist soldiers, sent by Marshal Su against the rebels, were am bushed in a narrow defile and all were killed or captured. The situation in the rebellious districts of Southern China is in creasingly alarming. The Viceroy of Can ton has telegraphed to Pekin, urging the immediate forwarding of reinforcements. Lack of news from General Ma and Mar shal Su is taken to Indicate that the reb els have surrounded the Imperial troops and cut off communication with them. Russians and Chinese KiKht. ST. PETERSBURG. April 16. An official dispatch received here from Port Arthur, dated April 12, announces that serious fighting has occurred in the vicinity of- the boundary of the Provinces of Mukden and Kiram, Manchuria, between Russian frontier guards and Chinese robbers, who had been raiding railroad stations. The Russians surrounded S00 Chinese at Klang Tung Tai. and only 30 of them escaped. The Russian losses were very small. ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING. German Presfc Finds a Subject In the Philippine Barbarities. NEW YORK, April 16. Anti-American German papers are scrambling over one another to show that they have not de serted their standards, says a Herald dis patch from Berlin. The Kreuz Zeitung de votes columns to the alleged cruelties in flicted by United States soldiers in the Philippines, and represents imperialism as marching onward. The rumored invita-t tlon to the Prince of "Wales stirs up a fit of resentment here. It was expected, af ter the discussion of the attitude of Great Britain during the Spanish-American War that the United States would feel Itself drawn closer to Germany. Although it is denied that the Crown Prince will be sent to the United States in case the Prince of Wales is entertained there, it is true that another mark of high respect Is being planned to prevent an other estrangement between the two coun tries. NEWS FR03I THE SOUTH SEAS. Plague Continues in Australia Can nibalism, at Tanna. VICTORIA, B. C. April 16. The steamer Moana, of the Canadian Australian line, which arrived this morning from Sydney, N. Z., and Honolulu, brought upward of 200 passengers, many of them distin guished Australians on their way to Lon don to attend the coronation ceremonies. The othr two liners of the line -will be crowded with passengers, bound also to London, when they arrive next month. The steamers booked to San Francisco ore also carrying many passengers. The surgeon of the Moana reports- that in Sydney there were 18 deaths from bu bonic plague during the two weeks prior to March 25, and that m the same time there had been one death from the same disease in Brisbane. The authorities are doing all they can to stamp it out The disease has entirely disappeared at Suva and Honolulu. There recently reached Sydney three sailors from the San Francisco whaler Gajhead, who, since they left their home port in December, have undergone some privations. The names of the men are Miller, Morgan and Nicholls. They shipped on, the Gayhead at San Francisco December 13. The Gayhead got along to Japanese waters, when the three men left because the remainder of the crew were colored men. and they, being the only whites on board, did not seem to acree with their colored colleagues. It was at Panope where they parted company, and after that they were four days without food. At the end of this time they were picked up by a Japanese Governor, who handed them over to some of his officials. They were well treated, and subsequently placed on board a German man-ofwar, which conveyed them to New Britain. Here they joined the steamer Paknam and were taken to Sydney. The American Consul attended to their wants. i The crew of the barkentine Kate Tatham witnessed an unusual sight during an elec trical storm off New Zealand. The sky, which was a mass of Inky colored clouds, presented an almost appalling appearance at times, when the forked lightning, with terrific suddenness, made lurid rents in it, some of the cuts stretching from the hori zon to the zenith. The vessel appeared to be in the center of a magnificent elec trical panorama, the impresslveness of which was accentuated by on almost un broken roar of thunder. In the height of the meteorological display several enor mous waterspouts went whirling' across the ocean. Australian papers say that the story published in American papers under Paris date of February 16, respecting a massa cre of a French party of scientists in New Guinea, is news to the residents -of the southern colony, no report of such a mas sacre having been received there. The steamer Mamtare recently returned to Sydney from the South Sea Islands. Lpon arriving at Tanna, It was reported that the natives were holding a big feast, and were eating- several natives that had been captured or killed during a tribal en gagement. One of the natives, who had been underground for about 12 days, was taken up and cooked and eaten with the rest. Of these tribal wars, the purser mentioned that since his last visit to Tanna 50 natives had been killed and sev eral wounded. Rev. F. H. L. Paton, the missionary, went on the battle field to attend the wounded at great risk of his life. On Santo jOnd the other islands the natives seemedto be a little quieter. PAPAL ASPIRANTS. Weakness of the Pope Leads to Ac tivity Anions Cardinals. ROME. April 16. The recent signs of In creased feebleness of the pope which led, at the end of last week, to alarming re ports of his sudden death, have caused a marked recrudescence of activity among the cardinals aspiring to the pontificate. The campaign preparatory to the next conclave proceeds Incessantly, the sacred college being divided into two distinct forces, headed respectively by Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of state, and Cardinal Vannutelll. The latter and Cardinal Gottl now constitute the most probable successors to Leo XIII. Those who are not now considered to be dangerous candidates are fond, however, of pointing out that almost 150 cardinals have been burled during the pontificate of Leo XIII, and that the prolongation of the life of his holiness for a few years Is liable to cool, through death, many more ambitious calculations. The Jamaican Riots. KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 16. Nearly 50 arrests have been made in connection with the riots at Montego Bay, on the north coast of this island, which began April 5, and in whiah a number of police men and rioters were wounded.

While the Legislative Council was engaged In a discussion of taxation meas ures today the elected members of the council warned the government to exer cise caution in view of the serious state of unrest prevailing throughout the isl and. There will be no further increase in taxation this year. Health, of the Pope. NEW YORK, April 16. Bourko Cock ran, of New York, who has just been re ceived In audience by the pope, says he found the pontiff amazingly stronger than at his last audience, five years ago, cables the Rome correspondent of the Tribune. The pope showed a wonderful memory, recollecting all the circum stances about his visitor and New York affairs, speaking with a firm, voice. From- other sources it is learned that the pope expressed satisfaction over the new bonds of union between America and the Holy See from the mission of Gov ernor Taft and the settlement of the Phlipplnes question.

Great Britain has accepted Germany's proposition for an in ternational conference to regulate the use of wireless telegraphy. The other powers to which the proposition was made, viz., the United States, France and Russia, have not yet responded, but the officials here confidently expect favorable answers, especially from the United States, which has taken much interest In the matter. Germany's suggestion embraces merely calling a conference, but without definite ly formulated plans. Enforcing Irish Crimes Act. DUBLIN, April 16.

The diplomatic, private and public galleries In the Cham ber of Representatives were filled to their capacity today when the debate on the proposed revision of the constitution be gan. Mr. Beernaert, ex-preslden of the Chamber and Secretary of State, opened the discussion. He was frequently Inter rupted by M. Vanderveiae, the Socialist leader, with shouts of "Universal suf frage Is supreme." M. Beernaert expressed the belief that the present Belgian elec toral system was satisfactory. He referred to the numerous social laws passed dur ing the last 15 years at the behest of So cialists, and said the latter's sole recog nition of the passage of these laws was the declaration of a general strike, accom panied by threats of violence. After the speech of M. Beernaert and a speech delivered by M.

W&Bl RECENTLY LAUNCHED AT HARLEM. Frank Gould's beautiful new yacht, the Helnlta, was recently launched at the Morris Dock, oa the Harlem River. Several Innovations In the christening of the ship marked the occasion. It was purely a social affair, all the Invitations being Issued by the owner. The yacht was christened by Mrs. Gould from tho dock, instead of the usual launching platform. The beautiful sponsor for whom the yacht was named broke the bottle of wine over the starboard rail as the croft rushed down the ways. The Helenlta Is a steamer of 185 feet In length, 23 feet beam and 10 feet draught. Bhe will bs enrolled in the New York, Larch xnont and American Yacht Clubs. constitution ended In what was almost a fiasco. The members were evidently wait ing for the delivery of the speeches of the Socialist and Liberal leaders and the re sponse of the Premier, M. de Smet de Mayer, tomorrow and Friday, when, it is expected, a vote will be takenr which will instill life Into the parliamentary proceed ings. The promised great demonstration in the streets on the adjournment of the Cham ber dwindled to the appearance of 200 per sons, who accompanied the Socialist Dep uties to the office of their organ, Le Peu ple, where M. Vandervelde, from a win dow, addressed the crowd. He said the day's proceedings In the Chamber had not modified the situation, and that the gov ernment was still recalcitrant, and had shifted the responsibility for a dissolution of Parliament, which the Revisionists would demand If the Chamber rejected the proposal to revise the constitution, on the King. The collapse of the proposed demonstration was traceable to the drenching rain and the overwhelming pre cautions taken by the police, which seem to place further disturbance In Brussels out of the question. A feeling Is gaining ground that the government will entirely reject the proposed revision of the consti tution. It is estimated tonight that nearly 300, 000 men have gone on strike. The move ment Is well organized, but ae the men are short of funds It has been arranged that In all trades In which the cessation of operations would Incommode the public such as bakers, etc. the men shall con tinue working and contribute to the sup port of the others. At 'Vervlers, near Liege, the socialists have persuaded the taverns to close their doors In order to keep the idle men from the temptations of liquor. The glass works at Courcelles were practically destroyed by fire last night. It Is estimated that the damage will amount to COO.000 francs. It Is believed the Are was started by an Incendiary. Disturbances were reported from vari ous parts of the country today. Small bombs were exploded at Liege and else where. A bottle filled with gunpowder was exploded at the door of a residence and at the glas works at Marlemont, near Lalouvlcre. Only trifling damage was done by the explosion. At Renalx an earthenware jar, with a fuse attached to It, was discovered on the threshold of a Catholic club. The fuse was extinguished by a passer-by. The only other Incident at Renalx was. the throwing of a piece of lighted tow Into a school. A detachment of civil guards on duty In the. suburb of Etterbeek became dis gruntled yesterday evening on account of being kept on duty In the heavy rain, and protested against remaining under arms any longer. Several of the guards threw their cartridges into the gutter and shook their fists in the officers' faces. This, however, was an isolated attack. The civil guards, generally, are thorough ly reliable. On their behavior depends the tranquillity of this city. Prince Albert, son of "the Count of Flanders, and heir presumptive to the throne of Belgium, Is a Major in the Grenadier Guards, at present held In readiness for emergency. The Prince de clined a proposition to be replaced tem porarily as Major of the Grenadiers. He said: "If my men are called to a post of danger. It will be my duty to lead them." King Leopold congratulated the Prince on his decision. The Cabinet Ministers, at a meeting held here at noon today, discussed the situa tion growing out of the popular demand for a revision of the constitution, and measures of increased stringency in both city and suburbs were taken In anticipa tion of today's debate In the Chamber of Deputies on propositions looking to re vision. Dispatches from Liege announce that 2000 striking miners and steelworkers at Seralng had a conflict with the troops there. The soldiers charged, and the strikers retaliated with a fusillade of stones. Some of the rioters finally sought refuge in three taverns, which were wrecked. " A dynamite cartridge was exploded on the railroad track near Arlen. The explo sion badly damaged the railroad bridge, but traffic was not interrupted. Serious disorders have occurred atJ uocKeereua, in xue cum ueius ui ocmini,. A detachment of lancers was compelled repeatedly to charge a mob numbering about 2000 persons, engaged in throwing stones at the troops. Many people were injured. The -cafes in which the rioters took refuge were sacked. This evening it was announced the 150, 000 men were out on strike In the districts of Mons. Charlerol and Liege alone. Many men have stopped work In other sections of the country, but it Is difficult accurate ly to estimate their number. It is known, however, that 5000 men have struck at Antwerp.

Sensational Developments 1b Den ver Case. DENVER. April 16. Startling develop ments have come to light regarding the death of Representative Albert Gabrln, who died at his home In this city early on the evening of January 8, from what was then supposed to be acute gastritis, superinduced by fermented wine used In making a mixed drink, which he and other members of nla family consumed at a fam ily reunion on New Year's day. Shortly after his death Dr. Wilder per formed an autopsy, removing the stomach and portions of other Internal organs. These, with samples of the wine used In the punch, were turned over to Dr. Hlllkowltz, who made a chemical analy sis. He has filed .with Dr. Kleiner, the physician who attended Mr. Gabrln when he died, his report on what he found. Dr. Hlllkowltz says he found large quan tities of arsenic In the wine and traces of the poison In the Internal organs, es pecially In the stomach. The chemical analysis showed there were 3& grains of arsenic to a tumblerful of wine. Such an amount could never be ascribed to any accidental Impurity In the wine, says the report. The death of Mr. Gabrln Is to be Investigated by the Woodmen, of which society he was a member. He carried a large life-insurance policy. The payment of the policy has been stopped pending the result of the Investigation.
