London, Aug. 38. There ii no long
er any doubt that President Kruger
has icf used to inbrnit to the demand
of Mr. Chamberlain (or the appoint
ment of a court of inquiry. He may
have done so diplomatically or hedg
ingly. But that hi answer ii regard
ed by tba British government ai tanta
mount to positive refusal, ii now an
established (set. The colonial office ii
noncommittal, but there are other evi
dence! which amply justify the ilate-
merit. The repolt that Prendent
Kruger has proposed new terma ii
somewhst verified by the guarded com
ment of the colonial office officials and
the irritability displayed there. Theie
i not tha sl.ghtest doubt that they
now believe wai is the only way to set
tle the controversy.
Tiiey would (ar rather have had a
enrt, defiant aniwer, than the tempor
ising answer which the Boer president
hai lent. With tba former Great
Biitain would bare plain ground for
a quick commencement of hostilities.
Under the oicrumitancea, which it ia
believed now exitti, aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to justi
fy it in the eye of the world and the
English minority who still declare war
would b an outrage. However, if Mr.
Chamberlain haa is way. It is believed
President Kruger'i counter-proposal
will meet with leant attentit a and an
less the Boers completely back down.
which ii not likely, the crisii will
quickly develop into war.
It has developed that the war office
haa been aware of the nature of the
Transvaal government's answer (or sev
eral dayi and that It was communi
cated to the war office, hence it ii prob
able that Great Britain will delay de
nouncement ai little as possible.
A high official expressed to a repre
sentative of tbe press his disicust at
hat he termed "Kruger'i enpiditv
and hvpooriay." He said:
"Tbe kind of game whioh Krnger is
playing must be o!ear to Americans.
The protestations of tie Boers that
they wish to live a quiet agricultural
life, may ba tba tune of some of the
Veldet, but the gang ir, Pretoria is
simply aftei money. Though Presi
dent Kruger says many harsh things of
the Uitlanders, he never hesitated to
make money out of them, either by
fair or foul means.
"Thii Transvaal question cannot be
judged by recent occurrences. You
must go back SO year. It hna been
hanging fire all that time, and the
sooner it is settled now tbe better."
Though the official did not actually
lay so, it waa clear that na believed
war was the only method of settle
ment.
It i learned that the government
ii somewhat annoved at the pubilo'i
alight interest in the Transvaal.
A ipeical dispatch from Cape Town
lays theie is great danger of in out
break of violence on the frontier, and
that the scum of booth Africa is en
listing throughout the colony, and is
being lent to Pitennia and Jameson,
on the border.
GREAT FIRE AT VICTOR.
Buslnaaa TorUim of tha Cwloratlo Town
Swept A way.
Cripple Creek, Colo., Ang. 33. Fire
has utterly destroyed tbe business por
tion of the city of Victor, causing a
loss estimated at $3,000,000.
Begnuing shortly alter. noon, the
fire raged until evening, consuming
everything in ita way. It bad its origin,
it is thought, in the Merchants' Cafe,
adjoining the Bnuk of Victor, on the
ooi tier o( Third, street and Victor
avenue. A strong wind from the south
funned the flames, and in a few min
utes all the surrounding houses were
afire.
Help was summoned Irom Cripple
Creek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp, and was ot
pine timber tor' the most part, and
burned like paper. Efforts were made
to stop the progiess ot the flames by
blowing up buildings by mean! of dyn
amite, and all afternoon the stieets
have roared with the explosions, but
the effort was in' vain!"
The residence portion of the ohy ha
tuffered Comparatively little, but the
business portion is paralysed, and suf
fering is bound to follow. ..The burned
area may be roughly designated as the
pace between the head of Fourth itreet
and Victor avenue, extending irom the
Gold Coin mine buildings, on the west,
to a point near Second street, and tlowa
Third itreet almost to Diamond avenu.

damaging results have attended a

velocity. That not more live! were
lost in the vicinity ot Hatteras is con
idred by tbe lurvivon nothing less
than a miraole.

Manila, Aug. 31, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 34. Filipino rebels appear to re
tain much more of tbe fighting spirit
than might be expected after their re
cent San Fernando experience and
General Lawton'i drubbings in the
sooth. After giving up San Fernando
with a feeble itruggte, they entrenched
themselves at Angeles, working for
several days and impressing non-com
batant! into work, thus laving armed
men for the fighting. They engajed
Lieutenant-Colonel Smith's regiment
and artillery warmly for (our boors,
masting one ol tbe most stubborn resist
ance! of the campaign, and th Ameri
cana arc indebted to tha usual poor
marksmanship of tha Filipinos as wail
si their own strategy foi their small
losses.
In Cavite province, where it was
supposed that the rebels bad been scat
tered and demoralised beyond recnpeia
tion, tbey bava assembled an army of
several thousand. Alter the San Fer
nando engagement, the rebels attempt
ed to deter th American from further
advance northward, menacing railroad
communications. Several hundred of
General Pillar's men crossed the Rio
Grande between the American outpost
towns and threatened Balinag, Quam-
gut and ohter places with small Ameri
can garrisons, while, during Sunday
and Monday nights smaller bands tried
to tear np tbe railroad tracks at several
points between Bigaa and Maloloa.
Reinforcements of American troops.
however, were sent along the railroad
from Manila to San Fernando, while
forces at Balinag and Quaingut sailed
out againit General Pillar'i men an t
the rebela wera easily driven away. In
the brush between the Filipino ami
the Americans during tines days, the
Americans lost several men while tbe
Filipinos' loss waa heavy. Of these
operationa a prese correspondent was
permitted to send only inadequate dis
patches, dictated verbatim by Major-
General Otis. The censor writes ster
eotyped official phrases and adjectives
into dispatchea intended to magnify
American operations and minimize
opposition. Otis says the newspapers
aie not public institutions, but private
snterpiisei, and correspondents aie
here only on sufferance.
All report! irom the rebel territory
agree that scarcity ot foot) is increasing
and rebel commanders at Aparty and
other points refused to obey Agninal
do's orders in regard to closing the
poits held by rebels against American
ships and say any ship bringing stores
will bo welcomed. Several ships from
Manila are now at these ports. Hun
dreds ol people come into Manila daily
and return to the rebel line with food
aud other commodities. The guards
stationed aiong the road reported that
6,000 persons passed through the lines
in three davys, and that 45 tons of rice
were carried out in small parcels on
the same road in 10 days. Much of
-this undoubtedly goes to aid the rebels,
but the authorities permit this trafflo
from motives of charity towards women
and children, who are undoubtedly
suffering. General MacArthur is es
tablishing municipal governments ia
the villages north of Manila.
