PEACE IN AFRICA.
Terms Signed Alter Two Years and Eight
Months of War.
London, June 2. Peace hag been de
clared after nearly two years and eight
months of s war which tried the British
empire to its uttermost and wiped the
Boers from the list of nations.
The war has come to an end with
Lord Kitchener's announcement from
Pretoria that he, Lord Miiner and the
Boer delegates had signed "terms of
surrender." This announcement had
been anticipated for several days, but
its receipt Sunday afternoon took the
nation by surprise, as everybody had
confidently believed that the house of
commons would bear the first news to
day. The edge of the anticipation with
which Great Britain awaited the prom
ised statement in the house of com
mons was still further dolled by the
following message from King Edward
to his people, which was issued after
midnight:
"The king has received the welcome
news of the cessation of hostilities in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction,
and his majesty trusts that peace may
speedily be followed by the restoration
of prosperity in his new dominions,
and that the feelings necessarily en
gendered by war will give place to
earnest co-operation on the part of his
majesty's South African subjects in
'promoting the welfare of their common
country." N
The news which Gieat Britain was so
anxiously awaiting came characteristic
ally on an entirely pacific and uninter
esting Sunday afternoon, when London
presents a deserted appearance. Very
late Saturday night a dispatch was
received from Lord Kitchener, in
which he said the Boer delegates were
coming to Pretoria, that they had ac
cepted Great Britain's terms and they
were prepared to sign terms of surren
der. Mr. Broderick, the war secretary,
personally communicated this message
to King Edward, who was at Bucking
ham palace. But the government de
clined to take any chances and nothing
concerning the receipt of this message
was allowed to leak out. About 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon the war de
partment received the message from
Lord Kitchener, announcing the sign
ing of the terms of peace.
The clerk on duty at the war office
transmitted this message to Bucking
ham palace, where King Edward was
lunching. At about 5 o'clock word
was received permitting the publication
of this message, and the small notice
which was stuck up outside the war
office consisted of a copy of Lord Kitch
ener's cablegram. A similar notice
was put outside the colonial office.
Beyond these two skimpy bits of paper,
London knew nothing of the great
event. It) the clubs, the hotels and
the newspaper offices, which were al
most all deserted, the momentous news
was ticked out on the tape.
Then like wildfire, at about 6 o'clock,
London awakened to the fact that the
South African war was over. By 8
o'clock the news had become generally
known. A few belated extra editions
of newspapers were peddled about the
streets, but before their appearance the
enterprising hawkers, who for a long
time past had kept union jacks, feath
ers and horns stored up in anticipation
of the present event, were much in evi
dence. -
Cabling from Pretoria, the corre
spondent of the Daily Mail, after an
nouncing the signing of the terms of
surrender, says the British authorities
absolutely rejected the suggestion of
the Boer delegates that the terms of
surrender should be ratified by Mr.
Kruger, and declared that the Boers
in Europe had no hand in the settle
ment. "The terms will show," continues
the correspondent, "that the British
government carried -its contentions on
every vital point, while the minor
concessions, particularly those in re
gard to the generous financial treat
ment, will greatly appeal to the Boers
in general. The value of Lord Kitch
ener's personality as a factor in the
conclusion of peace can never be over
estimated. There is no doubt that
peace will be popular among the
Boers."
Invited by the Kaiser.
Berlin, May 31. Emperor William
has directed that Adjutant General
Corbin, General S. M. B. Young and
General Leonard Wood shall be his
guests at the German military man
euvers next fall. More than this, the
foreign office has informed the repre
sentative of the Associated Press here
that the emperor is very glad the Amer
ican generals are coming to Germany,
Tight With the Yaqul.
Nogales, Arii., June 3. An out
break of Yaqui Indians has occurred.
A fight took place 30 miles trom Her
mosillo, in which eight Yaquis were
killed and two Mexicans. The Yaquis

and another fight is expected. The
disaffected Indians number about 400,
of whom 100 are fighting men. These
Yaquis have hitherto been peaceful.
They ar not hostile to Americans.

Judge John F. Phillips, of the United
States circuit court, who issued a tem
porary order restraining them from

the employes of that concern. The
action grows out of the lockout of the
onion bakers by six leading firms,
members of the Masters' Association.

of the Yaqui Indian trouble in Sonora,
Mexico, ha been greatly exaggerated.

KINO EDWARD'S blKlhUAY.
Officially Ceftbrated in London Military and
Naval Parades.
London, May 31. The birthday of
King I Edward, ! who 'was born Novem
ber 9, 1841, was officially celebrated
yesterday, it having been decided, as
announced in the official gazette, April
16, that his majesty's natal day was
to be celebrated in London and on the
home stations May 30, as being the
most suitable to make a military die
play. On the other hand, foreign sta
Hons will celebrate it November 9, the
actual anniversary of his birth.
Great interest in the celebration was
apparently not diminished by the ex
pectations of greater series of events
surrounding the coronation. Thekwiis
throughout the kingdom were gaily
decorated and the shipping at the vari
ous ports made the gayest display of
bunting. The day was observed at all
of the home military and naval head
quarters with parades and salutes.
The chief celebration was the ceremony
of "trooping the colors," on the Horse
Guards parade here, and the presenta
tion of colors to the new Irish guards.
CURED OF LEPROSY.
A Case Is Successfully Treated at St Louis
by the Quarantine Officer.
St. Louis, May 31. Dong Gong, the
Chinese leper, who has for four months
past occupied an isolated house near
Quarantine, has apparently recovered
from his malady and will be released
within two months unless the disease
returns. A remarkable oil, the product
of an East Indian tree, has been the
sole treatment administered by Martin
C. Woodruff, superintendent of Quar
antine. Discoloration has disappeared
from the patient's face and limbs, and
feeling has returned . to the spots of
flesh which were insensible to the
pi icking of pins or the touch of hot
irons. Only on one of the patient's
legs and one wrist is the faintest red
ness visible.
LABOR TROUBLE IN MANILA.
General Strike of All Trades is Threatened-
Want Fifty Per Cent Increase.
Manila, May 31. The labor troubles
which have been brewing for a month
are now on the eve of coming to a head.
Three of the largest American employ
ers of Filipino labor have been notified
that they must advance salaries 60 per
cent all around or face a strike. One
firm three years ago paid employes $3
per week, and is now paying them $30
weekly. The firm says a further ad
vance is impossible. It is the intention
of Isabelo de Los Keys, the organizer
of labor associations here, to secure an
increase of wages in all trades or force
a general strike. The merchants are
alarmed at the outlook. Thev suv
Filipino labor costs more now, in pro
portion to the Results, than American
labor. The wages are now from this
to 10 times higher than under the
Spanish regime.
Cecil Rhodes' Fortune.
New York, June 3. Cecil . Rhodes'

respondent of the Tribune, and this will
be 'done after the return of Dr. Jame

CHICAGO TEAMSTERS' STRIKE.
May Result In Stoppage of 40,000 Men at
Stockyards. , .
Chicago, May 30. If the four great
packing concerns at the union stock
yards shall not yield to the demands of
the striking teamsters within a short
time it may result in a general stoppage
of 40,000 employes at the yards. Al
ready several hundred persons have
quit. The situation is becoming so
involved that it apparently will be im
possible for the union men to remain at
work much longer without violating
the rules of the Chicago Federation of
Labor, under which they bold charters.
Conference between several of the
firms and representatives of tho union
were held this afternoon in an Jeffort to
adjust the trouble, but the packers re
fused to concede any of the demands of
the strikers, and the probability of an
early settlement seems as remote as on
the first day of the tie-up. Tonight 225
boxmakers employed at the National
Box Company's plant struck becausa
they had been asked to furnish boxes
to the packers against whom the team
sters are struggling. The American
Express Company refused today to
handle meat, because of the fear that
its drivers would strike.
Striking teamsters attempted today
to curtail the meat supply of down town
hotels and restaurants by surrounding
drivers for Swift & Co., and threaten
ing them. Policemen sent in response
to a riot call dispersed the crowd, how
ever, and soon were in full possession.
Further steps to extend the strike
were taken when orders were issued
from the teamsters' headquarters that
no coal should be delivered to concerns
that refrigerate meat for "unfair"
butcher shops or packing houses. This
development promises the most com
plete tie-up of teaming deliveries ever
experienced in Chicago. Butchers
that use meat delivered by non-union
drivers will lose their ice, and con
cerns that mtke their own ice will lose
their coal.
SITUATION IN MINDANAO.
Colonel Baldwin Suggests Wiping Out the
Defiant Element.
Manila, May 81. Colonel Frank D.
Baldwin, of the Fouith United States
infantry, has telegraphed to Brigadier
eneral George W. Davis, in command
of the United States ' troops in tho
island of Mindanao, that he does not
expect to establish satisfactory peace
conditions in the Lake I.ano district
until the defiant element is wiped out.
The natives pretending to be friendly
are urging that this be done, as their
own lives are in jeopardy, "which," the
colonel adds, "we are in the highest
sense under obligations to protect.
"The defiant element," continues Col
onel Baldwin, "respect nothing but
powder and the sword. They will de
stroy human lives until destroyed them
selves." General .Davis replied that,
to meet the emergency in the way sug
gested, would necessitate the capture of
every fort which now admit American
troops as friends, which waa forbidden
under existing orders.
NO FAVORS TO TERRITORIES.
Senate Committee Wants Each To Stand on
Its Own Bottom.
Washington, May 30. The decision
of the Republican members of the sen
ate territory committee, not to take up
the omnibus territorial bill was based
upon the fact that no time could be
given to the consideration of the bill at
this session, and the further fact that
the members of the committee think
that each territory jhould stand
on its own bottom, and not be carried
along by a meritorious territory like
Oklahoma. Probably a separate bill
may be passed for Oklahoma, but there
is still vigorous opposition to both
Arizona and New Mexico, on the
ground that they have not shown a
sufficient increase of population. F.ven
if the Oklahoma bill be reported it is
doubtful if it could get consideration in
the senate under the present conditions.
WILL PUT ON FAST TRAINS.
To Shorten Tim Between New York and th
Pacific Coast.
Chicago, May 31. The Chronicle
this morning says:
The first of June will witness the
first great step toward faster time be
tween New York and the Pacific coast.
There is a well founded report that
there has been an agreement between
the Pennsylvania and New York Central
officials for faft trains to go on at once,
and that the fast time to be made be
tween New York and Chicago is to be
20 hours. This is a shortening of the
time between these two places by four
hour below the fastest trains now run
ning, and almost six hours below the
ordinary trains. Following the de
termination of the Chicago &. North-'
western to put on a fast train from
Chicago to Denver June 1, the action of
the Eastern lines is regarded as having
a direct bearing in the plans for quicker
time to the Pacific coast.
Solicited Campaign Funds.
Washington, May 30. The civil

with his approval and cooperation,
but holds that the evidence due not
justify the institution of criminal pro
ceedings against him or any of hi
subordinate.
