W a shington, O ctober 6—“I want Aguinaldo and the F ilipino insurgents to know th a t it was a t cny request th a t President McKinley has ordered the naval reinforcem e n ts to our A s iatic Squadron, now s tationed at M aoila.\ A d m iral Dewey made this significant re m ark to A ssistant Secretary of the Navy Allen, at the Navy D e p a rtm e n t th is m orning, and h e fldded: \It has been reported th a t I have been In favor of giving the Filipinos their Indepen dence. A g u inaldo has, I believe, circulated this r e p o r t a m o n g the insurgents and I, there fore, particularly desire th a t in sending out the o r d e rs to the Brooklyn and th e other ships th a t are to go to the Philippines, the instructions shall he accom p anied by the statem e n t th a t they were sent a t m y re quest.\ Secretary Allen said th a t the Adm iraPs req u e s t would be granted a t once. General Corbin, who was present, said th a t be would see to it th a t a sim ilar statem e n t would be made to the general in command of the United S tates forces in t h e Philippines. The significance of this rem a rk of the A d m iral Is of great im p o rtance and it ought to have a far reaching effect. It will fall as a bom b shell into the cam p of the antl-expan- sioalsts and the co h o r u of A tklnsoo. A n o ther rem a rk made by A d m iral Dewey to-day Is worthy of attention. He said: \T h is latest news from th e Philippines is m o st encouraging. It m eans th a t Aguinaldo’s food supplies are grow ing less. I t m e a n s the beginning of the en d .\' The correspondent of th e E a g le is in a po sition to state th a t A d m iral Dewey is of the opinion th a t this Insurrection in the Philip pines will be Drought to a speedy conclusion. In the interview between Adm iral Dewey and P resident McKinley on W ednesday last, the P resident had beside him a pad of blank paper and during the interview be made m em o randa of everything A d m iral Dewey said. The general public has no idea how much ground th e A d m iral covered during th a t In terview . He w e n t into g r e a t detail and even m ade suggestions as to w h a t he believed right to be done when Aguinaldo surrendered, what disposition should be m ade of the rem a ins of th e F ilipino arm y , etc. High A rm y and Navy officials here say that these recom m endations of Adm iral Dewey w e re practical and to the point, and the belief is grow ing th a t the President will follow them. sixteen m ules w ere lost.

T h is is th e action of the officers and crew of the aux iliary cruiser E a g le ag a inst t h e governm ent fo r bounty and salvage arising out of the cap ture and sink ing of the steam ship San Domingo off the coast of Cuba during the blockade. The San D o m ingo was about four tim es th e size of the Eagle and was run ashore and sunk by the latter to prevent the possibility of escape. The action is brought by D istrict .A.ttorney P e t t i t as libellant and he occupies the anom alous position of being th e prosecuting atto r n e y as well. The hearing was before George D. Beattys, th e special com m issioner appointed by Judge Thom a s to take the evidence. The claim of the officers and crew of the E a g le Is for the value of the San Domingo an d a bounty of $100 each for th e crew, of which, it Is claimed, there were ab o u t 150. The value of the San D o m ingo was about $200,000. T h e E a g le’s crew Is represented by H a rrlm a n and Fessen den.

VAN WYGK WILL BE CLAD WHEN HIS TERM EIPIRES. Mayor Intim a te s to Board of Esti- , m a te T h a t He Is Dis satisfied WITH THE JOB HE HOLDS NOW. E s tim a tes ^or Several Im p o r ta n t C ity D e p a rtm e n ts C o n sidered by the B o ard T h is M o rning. M ayor Van W yck to-day broke out unex pectedly with an expression of his w eariness of t h e M ayoralty. It was near the finish of th is m o rning’s session of the Board of E s ti m a te when the budgets of several more de p a r tm e n ts are considered. President Hola- han of the Board of Public Im p rovem ents was urging an extra appropriation to pay draughtsm e n proper salaries. He said the city underpaid its em ployes in the topographi cal bureau and they could not be kept from leaving. \If we could cut off the salaries of some of the private secretaries we m ight have some money to pay proper wages to others,\ said the Mayor. Mr. H o lahan was surprised. He thought he w as struck at. \W e ll, tak e mine, if you ^ t h l n k — \ \I don’t m ean you,\ rejoined the Mayor, \b u t there a r e many others th a t m ight go. A com m issioner cam e in here the other day and asked us to raise the salary of h is book keeper from $3,000 to 3,500, and then adm it ted his hooks were rotten. I know one public official,\ snapped out the M ayor in conclu- elon, \who w ill be glad when his salary as M ayor ceases.\ The Mayor’s rem a rk closed t h e session. No one regarded it as m e a n ing th a t he has any intention of resigning, but only that he had been listening for several hours to d e p a r t m e n tal estim a tes in which big demands had been m ade and was a l i t t le tired out a n d cross over the work imposed In going through them . The board took up to-day th e estim a tes of th e D e p a rtm e n ts of H ighw ays, P a rks and Sewers and of the Board of Public Im p rove m ents. Highways Com m issioner K e a ting’s sched ules w ere taken up first. This y e a r Mr. K e a t ing got for all the boroughs $2,520,099.67. He asked for next year $6,579,902.24, an increase of $4,059,802.57. \An increase of 200 per cen t.\ said the Mayor. \Yes sir.” replied Mr. K e a ting. \T h a t Is for repaving in all th e boroughs. As you know, th is year I have had great trouble get ting any money for repaving. The M unicipal Assembly made so m u c h difficulty I decided to come to th is board for money for repaving next year. I ask for repaving in all th e bor oughs, $2,950,000, and I ask, for regulating and grading th e concourse, th e sum of $750,- 000. There are a num b er of cltlzenls of th e Bronx here to urge this appropriation, and they would like to be heard.\ \T h e board has no tim e to hear anybody now except heads of departm e n ts ,\ said the Ma 3 «>r. \W e , will tak e your estim a te by Sm all increases w e re asked for additional clerks in the different boroughs, Mr. K e a ting explaining th a t he needed m ore help because he expected to do m o re work. Another Item Mr. K e a ting p u t in was $35,000 for the exten sion of street park plots on upper Broadway, form e rly tho Boulevard. He said he wanted to extend the present lots in order tb make the street uniform. It would also im p rove values. An increase of $60,000 w'os asked for m a intaining asphalt pavem ents in M a n h attan, and $39,000 increase for resurfacing parts of Seventh and E leventh avenues and the Boule vard. The $750,000 item for regulating and grad ing the Concourse was taken up by the Mayor. \W ill th a t com p lete the Coucourse?\ he asked. \N o ,\ replied Mr. K e a ting. \ I t will take $14,000,000 to com plete It. This $750,000 will do for regulating and grading the five m ile stretch. This is necessary to prevent accidents. T h e re are g r e a t holes to be filled up. If anybody got h u r t he could collect dam- age*3 from the city.\ \W e ll,\ said the Mayor, \th a t im p rovem ent will have to be made o u t of bond issues.\ Passing on to Brooklyn the Mayor found Mr. K e a ting wanted aa Increase of $66,800 la the item for labor, m a intenance and supplies. This year he had $409,750 for this purpose. \T h a t is for extra labor and m a terial,\ said Mr. K eating. \You all know the condition of Brooklyn streets. If I got double this am o u n t still I couldn’t put the Brooklyn streets In the condition they ought to be In. They are m o stly cobble stone.\ M ayor Van Wyck announced th a t the $750,- 000 for regulating and grading the concourse and $2,650,000 for repaving would have to go out of the budget and be raised by bond Is sues. Passing to Queens he found* a n increase of $192,570 asked for over this year’s allowance, o r m o re than double. M ost of this was to be spent for labor, m aintenance and supplies. Mr. K e a ting said he wanted to finish the connec tion between the Long Island ferry to the M errick road and to keep up the fine roads of Queens. \T h e m acadam roads of Queens are the fin est in the country,\ said the Mayor. Mr. K e a ting also wanted $33,000 for bicycle paths from Ninety-second street ferry and .along Jackson and Thompson avenues. These were first suggested by the Mayor. For Richm ond was a.sked aa increase of $104,000 over this y e a r ’s appropriation of $90,000. Mr. K e a ting said he had thirty miles m ore of macadam roads built this year to m aintain. The D e p a rtm e n t of P a r k s was taken up next. P resid e n t Clausen spoke for the Boroughs of M a n h attan and Richm ond. For the entire departm e n t was asked an Increase of $779,421.64 over this year’s appropriation of $1,731,735. Mr. Clausen explained an Increase of $101,000 for labor m a intenance and sup plies by saying he had additional responsi bilities. Of this sum $68,100 was needed for stock for the conservatory and for the Im provem ent of grounds. A new Item of $50,000 was p u t in for walks in the parks. For the aquarium $20,000 In crease was asked, for the Museum of N a tural H istory, $40,000, and $30,000 was asked for asphalting the east side of Central P a rk west. The net increase for the Boroughs of M a n h a ttan and Richmond was $357,000 over this year’s allowance of $848,780. Mr. Clausen asked for an appropriation for tree planting in W est End avenue. He said the W e s t Side Association had gotten a bill through for it \Y e s,\ said the Mayor. \T h a t association is always getting som ething. It dem ands clean streets, yet refuses to perm it a dum p on the river front.\ Commissioner Brower asked for an increase of $235,871.64 over this year’s appropriation of $528,275. He said he had included an Item of $175,000 for the Coney Island Concourse, bath house and colonnade. He asked for this last year, he said, and was \favorably re ceived and Jollied along, but never got any money for it.\ Mr. Brower said he understood th a t i t would have to come If it w’as given out of a bond issue. He told the Mayor he could get along w ith the same he got this year, with the addition of $19,000 to raise wages to the fixed scale. \T h a t will be allow’ed you,\ said the Mayor. Mr. Brower said he had examined and favored tho demand of th e Brooklyn In.stitute for an additional appropriation of $19,000. The Mayor n e x t passed on to the Bronx estim a te, saying there was no need of going Into the Brooklyn figures In detail. If Mr. Brower was satisfied w ith this year’s appro priation. Commissioner Moebus asked for an increase of $186,580, of which $15,000 was to raise wages to the scale. \T h a t’s allow ed,\ said th e Mayor. Mr. Moebus wanted $30,000 m ore for the Botanical an d Zoological Gardens each. Sewers Com m issioner K ane asked for $1,- 026,506.92, an Increase of $239,027. Ho wanted $30,000 m ore for cleaning ‘M a n h attan sewers, $10,000 m o re for the same th ing in th e Bronx, $42,560 ex tr a for Brooklyn, $20,000 in Queens and $5,000 in Richmond. Mr. K a n e said - conditions were especially bad in Brooklyn. In that borough there were more basins and more m iles o( sew ers than in all the rest of the city, yet the allow ance for cleaning was only 40 per cent, o f th a t for M anhattan. President H o lahan of the Board of Public Im p rovem ents asked for $472,870, an increase over this year’s appropriation of $224,370. This year he got for the Topographical Bureau $54,000. Now' he asks for $237,000. \W e will need th a t much or twice t h a t eveiT year for ten years,\ said Mr. H o lahan. \to complete th e map and plan of the city. There is w o rk to be done in every borough and the Tax and Sewer departm e n ts and As sessors can’t go ahead properly till we do the work. It Is im p erative. I ask for $21,000 to increase the salaries of topographical draughtsm e n properly. W e are paying thirty men $900 a year, or $2.87 a day for skilled service. W h y , we can't hold them a t these figures. T h e y can get $1,800 to $2,000 in pri vate em ploym ent. The U n ited States govern m ent Is try in g to take our men away. We m u s t pay decent salaries o r we ca n 't do the work. 'That is the fact.\ It was h e r e tho Mayor broka in and talked about doing away with useless private secre taries—and then the session ended. D E T R O IT AT PORT CABELLO. W ashington.

H ealth IVotIcef Uiie PlaiUa Chlorides for houaohold disinfection. Sold by druggl8is.--Adv. W ill it blow to-m o rrow or not? This is what everyone interested in the Columbia and Sham rock would like to know. W eather sharps are confident in the prediction that a hum m ing gale Is due for New York, and tak ing to-day’s stonm from the southeast as a forerunner, they prophecy quite the reverse of an enforced drift for th e morrow. The unofficial sharps and ancient m ariners ar^ backed up In their conviction by Forecaster Em e ry, who has sent down from his tower a prom ise for some highly satisfactory yachting w eather. It will rain to-night, say the local probabilities, and clear in the m orning, when the winds will shift to the northeast and later to the northw est. Yachtsm en and seafaring folk know full well what this means, if re sults during the next tw e lve hours coincide with the official oracle. A snapping off shore breeze will take possession of old ocean just where to-day's Incoming storm leaves off and the outcom e will be a conflict between wind and wave. Of course, the prophecies may go astray, but it is certain th a t from the change In the w eather, now prevailing, there will be no repetition of yesterday’s tantalizing drift. It is a lucky thing for th e owners of ex cursion steam ers th a t their tickets for the yacht races W’ere not issued on the principal of so much for the entire contest. In that event, the two racing days of this week, Tues day and Thursday, would count for naught, ae the present condition of affairs, so far as u lti m a te decision is concerned, is the same as though uo races a t all had been held. A full trip ticket, the price of which was based on five races, would, therefore, entitle the holder to accommodations on at least seven days, after the date of is.suance, two days of which would be loss for the steam b o at people, pure and simple. Most of the tickets, however, have been Issued for each race independently and in the case of com m u tation, the tickets are sold at a reduced r a te for three trips. The Grand Republic and General Slocum m anage m ent announced th a t coupons good for five races could be obtained, but the m anagem ent's definition of a race and th a t accepted by •yachtsmen necessarily differ. \W h en the yachts sta r t regularly,\ said the secretary of the company this morning, \a race is on. Both of the undecided contests this week count on our coupons and the hold er of one, therefore, has three valid tickets rem a ining.\ The Republic and Slocum and all other boats, except those privately chartered for one or t'W’o races, will continue to follow the com peting crafts until one or t h e other has ■<v'on the cup. T h e S tarin Company, the New Haven and F a ll R iver lines are am ong those which send stearaera outside. W h atever gave credence y e s t e r ^ y to the rum o r th a t a big excursion steam e r had foundered will always, rem a in a m ystery. The first Inkling the pas sengers on board the steam e r received that anything was am iss w as w'hen they arrived at the B a ttery on the return. There, not very long before, newsboys had been proclaim ing the Joss of a steam e r outside the Hook. Yachtsmen, steam b o at ow n ers and captains and pilots have only words of praise for the work of Captain Bob Evans and his patrol fleet. It is true that the line of excursion steam e rs m igbt creep a good deal closer and still not disturb the racing yachts with their wash, but the fact th a t it is a fair field with no favors, gives ev’ery boat a chance, and every man on board an opportunity to see \vhal he paid for. Captain Evans is a ruthless dlsre- garder of persons. If a steam yacht owned by the w e a lthiest potentate in Christendom should persist in keeping Its bow sprit a mite over the patrol lines, the revenue cutters would force it back with as little compunction as they would an Impudent tug. Yesterday Sir Thomas LIpton’s E rin got in a place where she had no business to be, according to the regulations, and Captain Evans, on the bridge ot the Manning, leveled his m egaphone at the naval reserve boat Aileen. \T a k e my com p lim ents to the skipper of the E rin ,\ ho yelled, \and tell him to get out of th a t .\ The patrol fleet had an easier time yester day. though, than it did on Tuesday. The num b er of unruly sm a ll boats was noticeably decreased. M ost of the men In charge of tho big boats received the course rules in the spirit in w’hich they were m ade and co-operat ed w ith. Instead of antagonizing, the author ities. 'The lessened num b e r of sm all craft, tugs, steam lighters and s\ich, was due in part to the fact th a t the great m ajority are working boats, chartered tem p o rarily and not destined to follow the Colum b ia and Sham rock w h enever they race. T h e re were fewer spectators, also, yesterday th a n on Tuesday, a fact which Is less easy to account for. Some of the big excursion steam e rs were not filled to more than a third of their legalized carry ing capacity. Others w ere nearly empty. A whole crop of reasons were advanced as to the probable cause. \M aybe it’s because,\ said one man, \th a t In New York there are lots of people who have $5 to spend on a yacht race who haven’t got t e n .” \H u m p h ,\ repoined another, \ ’taint that. It's Dewey. Folks have spent all their money seeing adm irals and naval parades.\ At all events the yacht racing up to date from a spectacular standpoint has not been a success. Those of the Dewey visitors who delayed returning to out of town places In order to see the yacht race have thus far seen very little. Still when it does breeze up and the ocean gets in fighting trim a great m any of the Inland folk w ill be sea sick. So perhaps it is b e tter for them to let well enough alone. This m o rning tho w e a ther dowm the bay was foggy, w’lth the heavy rain that prevailed cvcryw’here else. The wind blew stiffly from the oast at tho rate of tw e n ty-three miles an hour. The skipper of the Columbia de cided to take no chances w ith tho weather, so a t 9:15 tho tug Luckenbach took the cup defender in tow, together w ith her tender, and proceeded toward the city. The Columbia anchored in th e N arrow s off Bay Ridge at 11 : 20 . There is a pos.^Ibility th a t instead of hav ing insufficient wind to-m o rrow the two yachts will find them selves over.stockod. A northw e st w ind on top of a southeast storm not infrequently kicks up a commotion off tho Jersey coast and perhaps it may come in too great violence for the safety of the racing rigs. The gale which will restrain the skippers from startin g , however, has yet to blow. Sir T h o m a s T h o roughly Satisfied. New Sandy Hook, N. J., October 6—Sir Thom a s Lipton when seen th is m orning on board the yacht E rin, announced his opinion regarding yesterday's race a.s follows: \The leading yacht, as you know, -was tho Sham rock, and It m ight be called anybody’s race. No; I will not designate it as a race. I win sim p ly call it a drifting m a tc h , and there was absolutely nothing about It to in- dicaio the capabilities of eith e r craft. We are thoroughly satlsflod with tho perform ance the Sham rock yei-tterday. She has proven she can drift as well as the Columbia. Wc hope to have plenty of wind to-rnorrow, and I should say th a t the present indications arc that we will have. We are looking for a good breeze as wo are naturally anxious to see what the resu lt will be. for with a heavy breeze we can possibly form a fair cstlm a to of tho series o f race*. \By the w a y ,\ Sir Thom as continued \we have on board Thom a s Edison and Mrs. Edi son. I consider Mr. Edison one of the g r e a t est m en living. I have nothing fu rth e r to say.\ R IO T IN G BY M INERS. P e rth, October 6—There has been serious rioting at Kalgoollie.

Louis Behrens, a liquor dealer, at tho north east corner of W ythe avenue and South Sixth street, was robbed a t the point of a pistol In true Chicago style yesterday. The story has just become known. Behrens was Just about to close his etore. a t 12:17 yesterday m o rning, when three well dressed young men entered. One of them, the taller of the three, laid down a q u a r ter on the counter, rem a rking \L e t’s have three beers, boss, and have a drink your self,\ walked away to the washroom. Beh rens said he would have nothing, and drew tho drinks for the three. The two men a t the bar drank th e ir glasses and one. without w a it ing until the third h a J received bis change of 10 cents, threw down a fifty cent piece, saying \L e t’s have some m o re.\ Behrens was in the act of replenishing the glasses when the tall man who had been to the washroom returned, and coolly w alking behind the counter, .seized the saloonkeeper by the throat and said: \Hold up your hands. We want your m o n ey.\ .\t that moment another jum ped behind the counter and th r u s t a revolver under Behren’s nose. The saloonkeeper became terrified and speech less. The men went through his pockets, ab stracting $50 in bills. They also removed a diamond pin from his necktie \worth $100 and his gold watch and chain. Behrens made no rem o n strance. When they had secured w h at they thought to be all his valuables, the men carried him into the rear room and dropped him on the floor. Behrens lay there until he felt sure the robbers would not return and m a ltreat him. He then shouted at th e top of his voice. This was without avail, for there was no one in the building except him self. He is unm a rried and lives a lone in apartm e n ts above the store. He rose and going o u t ran along W y the av e nue and down Broadway to the ferries. Offi cer John Fallon there stopped him. Behrens was too excited to speak clearly at first. At the station Behrens was closely questioned. He described the men aa well as he could. He said th a t one w'as about five feet six Inches tall, smooth shaven, wore a derby hat, black clothes and a light overcoat. A sec ond was about the sam e height, and wore a sim ilar attire with the exception that his overcoat was dark. The third man who went to the washroom, and subsequently seized the saloonkeeper by the throat, was very much taller. Behrens was unable to give ac accurate description of this m an. Captain Short said to-day th a t arrests were expected any moment. ALL HOPE FBR PEACE iT YET ABAiONED.

A n te-M o rtem S tatem e n t of H a r r y Cos tello ’s V ictim T a k e n by Coroner B u rger, There is every indication th a t George M or row, who was shot in the back during a q u a r rel with H a rry Costello c-arly yesterday m o rn ing, will die from his injuries. He is paralyzed from the low er part of the spine down and it is evident th a t the inju ry Is of a m o rtal char acter. T h a t -was clear to Coroner B u rger when he w ent to the Long Island College H o spital late yesterday afternoon with a jury of nine men, and Andrew Colvin, the official sten ographer, to take the ante mortem sta te m ent of the Injured man. The two young men quarreled over a woman at whose fiat they had been vi-siting and the dlnpute wa:s for a tim e suspended while Costello went away. The man, it is claimed, returned to the corner of Court and Baltic street, only a few feet away from the Butler street s t a tion where he found Morrow. There was a brief struggle and th e n It Is claim ed Cos tello drew a revolver and shot Morrow In tho back. When the ante m ortem statem e n t wa« taken Morrow seemed to be perfectly cool and col lected. He understood tho questions and gave his answ ers In a low’ although clear tone of voice. It said In part: \C o stello came Into K e lly’s saloon, corner Court and W arren streets at about 1:10 or 1:15 In tho m orning. I asked him where Sam P o r ter was; he said he had gone home. I walked out and saw Sam P o r ter and a woman talk ing and over tbi.s woman Costello and I got Into an argum e n t and a fist, fight. I had the better of the fist fight. He went up in the fiat, I should judge. I saw him come out of it. at 196 Court street, where this woman lived and he came running over tho street toward me and struck a t me and he fell down. I saw a knife In hJs hand and I thought It was a good thing to keep away, \I .started to go away and he went away for a few m inutes and w e n t to the veterinary surgeon’s where he w o rks; I guess he w ent down to get the revolver, because be did not have it before; I didn’t see it be fore; he wanted to fight and I said, ‘I don’t care about fighting any m o re.’ and Tom Mochelrey went down and tried to square it not to fight any more. I wa.s s t a r t ing hom e; the bartender. Sam Porter and I. s>nd all of a sudden h e came running up tho •street nml he draws th e revolver and .shoots, and as he .shoots the first shot I ran. I don’t know w h e ther he sh o t two or three itines. but it wap either the second or third that hit me. and I fell. Q. At the tim e that he came up to you with this revolver did you attem p t to strike him ? .\. No. sir. I sta r t e r lo run away. I didn’t know he had a revolver ai that lime, j Q.

Otto Huber Brewery, B ’klyn. 1 —Adv. London, October 6—All th e reliable in telli gence from South Africa points to a continu ance of the existing situation for some tim e, as both sides are apparently diffident about com m encing an attack, although, from die- patches received here, it seems as if every m o v em ent of a patrol and every cloud of duflt raised by a herd of cattle were turned into a general advance by both arm ies. The delay is all to the good, inasmuch a s it gives tim e for fu r th e r negotiations, and to day’s indications apparently show a willing ness on th e p a r t of the B ritish governm e n t to continue to utilize diplomacy. A %vcll defined conviction is prevalent th a t the Foreign Office Is trying to discover a way out of the im p asse which has been created by adm itted m istakes and m iscalculations, and it Is evident th a t peace advocates and peace counsels are gaining ground, although Mr. C h a m b e rlain’s refusal to seize the chance given to him by the petition of fifty-eight m em b ers of th e Cape House of .Assembly to point out, in his reply, th a t the Boers still have an opportunity of accepting G reat B r it ain’s previous offer, so long as her new pro posals rem ain unform u lated, seem s to show a personal determ ination on th e p a r t of th e Secretary of State for the Colonies not to yield an iota In the interest of peace- W h ile tho dbitaete for w a r evidently iu- creascs In G reat B ritain, dispatches from tho scene of hostilities grow m o re and m o re lurid.

It Is also said, according to advices from the same point, that the Boer forces at Volk- ru s t will advance to-day to the N a tal border and according to General Symons, although Commander General Joubert is personally avertse to hostilities h is patient tactics will not last, as the Beers wdll soon either dem and to be disbanded or to receive orders to in vade N a ta l. Dispatches from Cape Town of doubtful au thenticity allege th a t the Boer organization In the field is already breaking down and th a t friction Is developing between tho artillery , who are regulars and the Burgher com m an does. The re f u g e e in Cape Town are having a bad tim e, the women and children heiug in a pitiable plight. The governm ent’s offer to send a transport for some of the distressed has been accepted. London, October 6—In connoetion w ith the rum o rs th a t Queen Victoria is liable to in tervene to prevent war. a curious story is published this m o rning by t.be Vienna E s tr a - blatt, which alleges th a t her m ajesty intends to abdicate in the event of an outbreak of hostilities, declaring that it has th is infor m ation from an excellent source. T h e sta t e m ent unfavorably affected the Vienna Boerse. The B ritish Foreign Ofiico. when shown the V’ienna .sior>’ a s to the inientioii of the Queea lo abdicate should war break out, declared it \suprem e ly ridiculous\ and \u tterly base less.\ Officials L iberal View R e g a rd in g th e Crisis. Sir Henry Cam p b ell-Bannerm an, speaking at M aidstone to d a y at a luncheon specially arranged to give the leader of the oppositloa in the Hou.se of Cuinmons an opportunity of expressing the view’ of official Liberalism re garding the T ransvaal crisi.^, paid th a t neither side had shut the door upon fu rth e r negotia tions. 1 \G r e a t B r itain.” ho continued, \ha.s not made her dem ands as a suzerain power, b u t in virtue of Im e rnalkm a l 'aw and a« the power responsible for the well being of South .Africa. If the Boer governm ent ha.s refused the reasonable reqiie.sts of the dispatch of the Secretary of S tate for the Colonies on .September 8 through fear and suspicion re garding a possible attack upon their indepeu- d*!nce, the speeches of the Duke of Devon shire (lord president of the Council of Min isters) and S ir M atthew W h ite Ridley (secre tary of state for the home departm e n t), con stitute assurances which ought u> extinguish suspicion and fear Their speeches are quit© as au th o r itativ e as any dlspatcho.s and bind the honor ot the governm ent and the coun try. They ought to open the '.vay to an agree m ent.\ \P a r ty interests m u st su n d aside at this juncture, as well as the reputations of niinls- terti. I do not believe ihm diplomacy has had ir.s last word, although the country is on the brink of war. It is a rem a rkable thing that when the question is a.sked. w ant are we going to war about, no answer can be* given. Thi-> country has never yet gone into a great war in such a statt? of uncertainty.
