rfEW YORK, Jan. 28. Tho special cor
espondent of tho Trlbtino nt 8t. Thomas,
D. W. I., aends tho following In connection
With tho reported transfer tof tho Islands
to tho United States:
What puzzles the avcrago Danish West
Indian moro than anything olso Is the 1m
Brcsslon which seems to havo gained ground
In America and elsowhcro, that ho objects
to tho transfer of theso Islnncis, and that
A pleblsclto is necessary. Apart from tho
fact that thero'ro bo many different nn
"tlonalltlca In the Danish West Indies that
It would bo n matter of great dlftlculty to
rrlvo at a Just conclusion In cants of a
ploblsclte, It may bo confidently asserted
that no such wish has been expressed, nnd
M it wcro posslblo to take a vote, under
uch circumstances, it would bo in favdr
of tho transfer.
That thero might linvo bron a feeling
gainst It some tlmo ago among tho nntlvca
:U possible, but this was partly owing to
ontltnent nnd pnrtly to the statements
'tnado by tho' anti-sale party nbout tho
miserable condition of Porto Itlco under
.American rule. Now that tho truth has
icomn to light about that Island, and every
mall brings further roports of Its progro
onco again, as In 1807, our pcoplo nro look
'ing forward to tho change,, believing that
there can bo nothing, save prosperity for
these Islands should It take place.
, It Is a pity that this state of feeling of
.the Inhabitants has not been moro widely
circulated 'throughout tho United States, so
that Americans might kuowtbnt they are
not taking under their protection an un
willing population a fact which can bo
'substantiated by any American who has
."Visited these. Islands,
l'lnntr for Annr-xntlun,
I. i
There has been a little "excitement hero
. ;tho last few days owing to n rumor tha
the nalo waa "off." At St. Croix, aa an off
veet to tho telegram sent to tho Ilhauco
minister and tho Rlgsdag by 14G Icadlne In
'hlbltants, among whom wire forty planter?
' representing 40,000 out of 50,000 acres of
cultivated land of the Island, praying for
" tho sate, nn opposition list wns started.
Tho few property holders that wero over
; looked refused to sign It, -but the official's
and. a few policemen did so. nut the opin
ion poems to bo gaining ground that nil tho
' opposition has been fostered by Danish
speculators, In (ho hopo that should ne
gotiations bo doclared off and values bo
como further depreciated they may be nblu
to purchato lands nnd houses for a song.
Tho Sat. Croix Avis, In n letter from the
rector of tho Angellcali church, exposes the
' .manner In which nntl-salo 'slgnatursa wero
obtained to n list In Basscn and other
towns. Tho list wns sent by cablo to tho
prims mlnlstnr at Copenhagen on the 9th
InBt. It protests against tho "telegram
Kent by the forty planters and 106 pro
prletoru, already alluded to, characterizing
them aa American capitalists and asks "his
excellency to uso. his influence to keep St'.
Croix under tho -Danish flag, on condition
that tho mother .country will know how to
find means to mako tho cultivation of
, eugnr, which present finds itself In a
most critical position, remunerative to this
Island;" ' '
ThlB 1a signed by three Danish planters,
two merchants and by 215 other pcrso'ns,
, all' eminently respectable, but not employ
ers of nearly two-thirds of tho Island's la
borers, who will shortly bo without employ
ment unless some change, tnkea place, for
even tho protestants against tho sale admit
' (tho critical position of tho sugar Industry.
Tho.genernl feeling Is that of despair for
tho future ofHlicso Islands It (ho sale la not

NOTHING DIRECT FROM .THE BOERS
Balfour Announce 11 r Hope Soon to
Lay Communication and.llenljr
npfor. the Ilnuan of
Common.
iONDON, Jan. 28. The government
leader, A. J. Ilalfour, announced In tho
Houso of Commons today that no overtures,
for peace had been received from any ono
authorized to speak In behalf of tho Doers
A communication was, however, received
lato Saturday last from tho Dutch govern
ment which was now under consideration.
Mr. Balfour hoped shortly to lay tho com
munication nnd tbo reply to It before tho
house.
Tho government of Holland has 'offered
In tho most friendly terms tc help In brlng
lng about pence In South Africa. In n com
munication to tho British government, tiio
Dutch government suggests that It might
bo permitted to act bb a sort of diplomatic
agent for the Boer delegates.
The government expressly disavows any
attempt at Intervention and does not men
tion any terms. It was learned by a rep
resentative of tho Associated Press that
the British government lnfors that It would
not havo beon approached unless tho Dutch
authorities wero convinced that tho Boer
delegates now In Europo wore willing to
accopt the cardinal points ofxtho British
peace terms, bo frequently announced in
Parliament. '
Lord Lansdowne, tho foreign secrotnry,
replied In friendly terms to tho Nether
lands' proposal, but Instituted inquiries in
order to ascertain tho extent ot tho powers
delegated to Mr. Krugor and the other Boer
representatives In Europe to act In behalf
of tho burghers In the field.
Great doubt Is expressed at tho Foreign
office hero as to whether any -negotiations
carried on'by tho Boer delegates through
tho Dutch government or other channels
will provo effectual. x
It satisfactory guarantees In this respect
can bo secured negotiations will be begun
Immediately, This doubt In regard to tho
authority of Mr. Kruger and others to speak
for tho fighting burghers Is perceptible In
the Btalemept Mr, Balfour made In tho
House ot Commons today, aa dotalled above.
A supplementary army estimate of 45,-
000,000 wbb Issued this- afternoon, making
tho total expenditure for tbo army during
the year JC 92,915,000.

soon completely cured me."
