TRE BOERS WAIT TOR RAIN
Looks Like England Must Back
Down or Fight. Boer Offl-
cUIs Arrest.
London, Sept. -'0. England's relation!
wild the Transvaal remain unchanged
aod ai far ab the former is concerned the
situation is not likely to take on a new
phase until after the meeting of the
cabinet on Friday. "Whether the boers
will be content to wait this long suspense
without actually begining hostilities,
depends upon circumstances. The
morning Post contaiued a dispatch from
Pietermaritx, Xatal, dated September 19,
saying:
"J never knew a situation to be graver.
The Bo6.s only await two dsye rain on
the Veldt,' before beginning hostilities.
They are -determined on war and con
sidering tbey .can ex pa nothing else
after tbe Urt dispatch and are prepared
to face the conveqaences."

THE DEWEY RECEPTION
THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
As Viewed by a Bright Educated Fili
pino Resident of this Country.
A naUrt of Loian, who has lived
'many years in Europe and America,
Ramon Reyes Lala, prefaces what he
has to say in the September Forum on
The People of tbe Philippines' with
tbe observation :
"Whatever the Filipino may be, be is
-bo coward ; death and woands have no
a ore terrors for him than for his foes.
But ia the end high civilization U sure
to tell when pitted against low civQiza
Han ; and Aguinaldo and bis half-trained
followers were never likely to bold their
"j2wa afiipst the discipline and rapid-fire
T13J of -Americans.
- As a Filipino, I think it as well tbe r
should not, for I be'ieye that the govern
ment of the United States has tbe bent
interests of tbe islanders in view, that it
will give them all the self-rule they are
at present capable of exercising, and
that ft will start them, on a career of
prosperity such as their ambitious lead
ers are by no means likely to open fcr
them."
' It is evident that Mr. Lala'a instinct
of sympathy with his fellow Filipinos is
strong, but that bis judgment is atil 1
troBger. lie has no word of censors
for them. The Spaniards always made
fair promises, which tbey never kept,
and it is hardly to be expected that the
Filipinos would at once put their trust in
-wolher strange people. From the view
" point of tbe Filipinos the Spaniard is of
the same race as ourselves. "Tbey
will" says Mr. Lila, "oe restive until
they have Warned t know the Ameri
can."
Tbe establishment' of our national an
tbority must come first. The winning of
confidence will necessarily be a growth
Oooe established this confidence and the
further civilization of the psople aod the
development of the resources of the
islands will follow as a matter of
course.
Hr. La's says there are two distinct
races in the Philippine, the aborigiiu
Kegritoi, a pygmy race hardly higher in
tLj seals than the mitt aps, and the My
leys. The latter hare very nearly exter-
2LiioateI tbe former. He estimates the
number of Negritos at barely 25,000,
On the ieland to which they have given
the name Segros, there are hardly any
of them left.
They are incapable of civilization, be
lag below the level of a Digger Indian.
But there are so few of them that it
does not matter moch what their grade
of civilization may be. They are no
more a factor in tbe fata re of the Philip
pines tban'are the Apaches in the future
of tbe Southwest. Once crush out the
rebellion under Againaldo, and convince
tbe people that we are really trustworthy
and, as Mr. Lala sees it, there will be
emobth sailing for tbe United States in
Fhilippins watere.
Admiral Schley to Join in Wel
coming AdiMral Dewey.
CAPTAINS TO PARTICIPATE
Who Assisted In the Destruction of
flontojo's Fleet. Schley's Mod
estyWishes to Detract No
Attention from Dewey.
Xsw York, Sept. 19. A special to tbe
Herald from Washington says :
Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen
has perfected arrangements for the par
ticipation in tbe Dewey celebration at
New Tork of nearly all the captains of
tbe squadron which destroyed Admiral
Montojo's warships in Manila bay.
Captain Charley V. Gridley, who com
manded the Olympia, died while on his
way home and Captain Lamberton, now
in command of tbe Olympia and who
was Dewey's chief-of-eU3 in tbe battle,
is returning with. Admiral Dewey. Cap
tain Cogblan, who rommanded the Ra
leigh, is in this country, ai Port Orchard,
Wash., .Commander Walker, who was
relieved from command if the Concord
last April, is now in Washington ; Cap
tain Dyer, who commanded tbe Balti
more, is on leave at bis home; Com
mander Wood, who commanded the gun
boat Petrel, is inspector of tbe fifth light
house district with headquarters in Balti
more, and Captain Frank Wilder, the
commander of the lioeton, ia captain of
the New York navy yard.
Bear-Admiral Schley will also take
part in the celebration, though without
any orders from the department. The
admiral has nut received an invitation
from the New Y'cri committee, but he
desires to Uke part in his personal ca
pacity and to join with others in welcom
ing tbe hero of Manila.
Hs feels that there should not be any
official participation by officers likely to
detract any attention from Admiral
Dewey.

Dreyfus Will go Abroad to Avoid
Demonstrations Mysterious Death
of Kestner, a Warm Friend of
Dreyfus.
Paris, September, 19. The council of
ministers decided today to pardon Cap
tain Alfred Drey I as, in principle. The
pardon will take effect in a few days.
Dreyfus Las relicquished bis appeal
for a reversal of the judgment of th-court-martial.
"In principle" is an idiom sometimes
need in semi-official announcements '
forthcoming actions. It seems ta have
but slight bearing on the matter, except
perhaps, but that it employs tbe fulfill
ment ofvaiious formalities before the
pardon ia actually isstfed, thereby quali
fying the announcement of the prJon
with slight tentaUvenasr. It U tot
known yet whether t'je pardon it.clu W

There is much remark here on tb
elrange coincidence of the death of
Scheursr Ks!ner. the first champion of
Dreyfus, sn1 to whom Drcyfos will vir
tually owe hs freedom, on the v-ry day
tbe cabin st decides to pardon the pris
oner. Scbeunr Kestner's death w
sudden. He Lad been ill during the lift
few days, but it was not thonght bis ill
ness would prove fatal.
Tbe announcement that Pre? f us wis
to be pardoned has already been dis
counted by predictions and there
absolutely no excitement along tbe boule-
vards wbtn newsboys ran along at
about 3:15 p. m with tbe first eiiti n
containing the statement tbat tbe cabin
et bad decide J to parJon Dreyfus.
Everyone expected it and the d- ci-ion
m t with no opposition.
The Droits Del Homme, socialist orgn
says; "Our tak remains me same aiier
ss before tbe liberation of Dreyfus, to
con tine tbe campaign against all those
who are responsible for tbe lamentable
affair, and unmask tbe forgers, traitors
and false witnesses, even though tbey
may be covered with glittering decora
tiona."
It is said tU4 Dreyfas will be sent
abroad bsfore tbe promulgation of bis
pardon in order to avoid deroonetrar

took a train bound for Naotee. His de

M. Virguie. chief of tbe secret eervi.-e,
and M. Doreault arrived at tbe prison
after midnight, bringing tbe order of the
minister of war for the release of Drey-ins.
Dreyfus walked from the prisoo to tbe
boulevard L Enne, where he entered a
waiting carriage and was driven to tbe
Verna station outside of the town. Mat-
tbieu Dreyfus met him at tbe train, and
accompanied bim to Nantes, Italy.

New Yobk. Sept. 19. Until the will of
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt is filed tor
Drobate it will not be known bow much
federal war tax and how much inheri
tance tax tbe estate will pay.
Tbe war revenue tax on the legacies,
It is expected, will be per cent, as it
ia expected that Mr. Vanderbilt left his
fortune to bis wife and children. If, as
baa been rumored, be left to members of
his family as much as $150,000,000, the
war tax alone would be .3,700X00. Tbe
inheritance tax due to the state of New
York at 1 per cent would be nearly
500,000, and tbe estate would pay in war
revenue tax and Inheritance tax consid
erably oyer f-3,000,000.
It baa been suggested tbat Mr. Van
derbilt may bave made deeds of gift to
members of bis family eo as to avoid tbe
payment ol bo large a earn in taxes on
bis estate. No information regarding
such deeds bas been obtained by tbe officials.
