10NDON, Aug. 31. Some lntor(.Bt
Ing sidelights are thrown oh the
South Afrkau. war by sdvlfVs pub
lished today. A dispatch tom Cape
town to the Daily Mall indicate, that
Scheeper's command baanow moved
to the southwest and Ihvoded a part
of Cape Colony previously undisturbed
by the Boers, while more severe re
strictions have bee( imposed with the
object of preventing communication
between Capetown and the newly dis
turbed areas.
The Cologne Gazette's correspondent
In Capetown declares that the "entire
Cape Colony jg a seething mass of dis
order and alarm." He r sserta ' that
the Borers are receiving support from

KVigar Wallace, writing to the Dally
Express, expresses a decided opinion
at Lord Kitchener's banishment
proclamation win noi resun in tne sur-
.redder of a single Important com
mandant and that much severer pen
alties are needed, the only useful pol
icy being vigorous military measures.
In the early part of August a corre
spondent of the Morning Express had
a long talk with Lord Kitchener, from
which he gathered that " it it not Lord
Kitchener but the government thH is
to blame for - many of the present
t vils." . .
Lord Kitchener, it seems, com
plained that the home government
continually worried him about trivial
details, "merely to reply to parliament
ary heckling," and that this compelled
him to enforce a strict censorship over
telegrams, although personally he ob
jected to the present system. He. said
he thought correspondents ought to be
given greater liberty and should be
held responsible for their statements.
He avoided expressing any , opinion
about the "approaching end of the
; war" and dissuaded the correspondent
from speaking about it.
"Both the Morning Post and Stand
ard give the information as to the
concentration camps and confirm the
reports of heavy mortality there,' es
pecially among the children in July.
This is said to be "largely due to
the ignorance and unsanitary babits
of the Boers," but conditions are rap
idly improving. At the beginning of
August there were 100,000 persons in
the concentration camps. A corre
spondent of the Morning Post asserts
that the Boer refugees got eighteen
pounds in rations per head, as against
twelve pounds per head given to Brit
ish loyalists, and he recommends as
politically and economically advisable
that the Boers be removed to the coast.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 31. Repre
sentatives of the Twin Cities-Chicago
lines met here to take action on the
request of the Minneapolis millers for
relief from the present rate discrim
ination against flour In behalf of
wheat
The railroads agreed to increase the
grain rate, Minneapolis to Chicago,
from 6 cents to 7Vs cents. They claim
that the increase of 1 cents will re
lieve the discrimination and put flour
for export on a more equitable basis.
While this is true, to some extent,
it probably will not satisfy the mill
era. They claim that by a recent ruling of

NEW YORK, Aug. 31 The Associa

dispatch dated Bogota. August 24.
from a Colombian official of high
rank:
General Pedro D. Osplno, acting
minister of war, who has prepared an
excellent and extensive plan of cam
paign, confirms the reports that with
in tbe last fifteen days he has destroy
ed nearly all of the Colombian guer
rillas. The government of Colombia has
maintained strict neutrality regarding
Ecuador and Venezuela, notwith
standing the fact that the governments
of the said countries have upheld and
effectively aided the rebels of Colom
bia, thus prolonging tbe revolution In
this country.
Recently the revolutionary chiefs of
Colombia have met on the frontier of
Venezuela to organize new invasions
of Colombia, using the munitions of
war accumulated by the government
of Venezuela on her frontiers.
A party of Venezuelans, surrounded
near Cucuta. are about to return to
their country. They are commanded
by Range! Garibas. The position tak
en by the government of Colombia
!s one of peace and neutrality. These
are fundamental canons in her foreign
policy. The frontiers of Colombia are
sufficiently defended. Colombia feels
certain that she can maintain her
rights and repci whatever foreign in
vasions may offer.
COLON, Colombia, Aug. 31.-Dr.
Juis Carlos Rico, Colombian minister
to Venezuela, before his departure for
Bogota, officially assured Senor Velez,
governor of Cartagena, that he was
going to inform his government with
reference to the situation between Ven
ezuela and Colombia. He expressed
the opinion that peace would be pre
served by both nations and that the
existing difficulties would be overcome.
The Colombian official newspaper in
Cartagena declared that the entire
province of Pachira, Venezuela, touch
ing Colombia south of Maracaibo, Is In
the power of the Venezuelan insur-,
gent leader. General Range! Garbiras.
It also asserts that the , Colombian
genera!, Gonzales Garcia, until recent
ly Colombian minister of war, is now
on the frontier with no less-than 10,
000 Colombian troops disposed in the
province of Santander, and maintain
ing the sovereignty of Colombia there.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30. Con
gressman Hull of Iowa, chairman of
me house committee on iu!iSioi jr af
fairs, who has arrived here from a
five months' tour of China, Japan and
tbe Philippines, Is deeply impressed
with the possibilities of the new
American possessions in the Orient
He says:
"If I was a young man I don't know
where I would rather go than
to the Philippines. For a man of
brains and industry tbe islands open
a vast prospect in most every line of
business for one w ho lias the grit to
go there and stick to it.
"The mineral, agricultural and tim
ber resourcesof these islands consti
tute a field of commercial enterprise
that is practically unlimited. Of course
the present conditions of brigandage
make it exceedingly unsafe for people
to settle in the islanns away from the
protection of the military posts. But
the people, or the great majority, de
sire peace and safety and are doing
all they can to help the troops attain
this end.
"Of course, it is impossioie to make
an Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental,
therefore the Filipino will probably
never be an American citizen in tbe
broad sense that is understood by all
that term conveys to the man born in
tbe United States of white parents.
But as soon as he gets a sufficient
education and becomes a little more
impregnated with our ideas and loses
some of the Ideas acquired by a 300
years' association with the Spaniards,
the Filipino will be a citizen in spirit,
patriotism, industry and education and
will be worthy of participating to the
fullest extent in all the benefits of
this government, i ;
'"Of course, we will have to govern
them with ' firmness as well as with
kindness. 1 think that 40,000 troops
is about the right number to keep
there for some years to come."

PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 30 Officials
of the mills of tbe United Slates
8tecl corporation that were closed by
the strike of tho Amalgamated asso
ciation stated today that they are re
ceiving many applications from former
employes for work. The announce
ment that the company would start the
mills nonunion has, the officials be
lieve, caused a weakness in the ranks
of tbe strikers. The strikers claim
that their ranks are unbroken and
strong as ever.
One of the steel officials said today
that there was a general mistake be
ing made regarding tbe time it would
take to train inexperienced men and
making them capable of operating
mill machines. This has been be
lieved to be the case so long that few
have taken the trouble to prove It
otherwise. It is now determined, he
said, to have new men placed in posi
tions that will give them a chance to
learn the skilled work and many of
the men wbo held menial positions
In tbe Union mills are to be taught
skilled work with which they are in
a measure familiar through long as
sociation with the workings of the
mills. It is confidently asserted that
before many months pass it will be
possible to produce many new men
and plenty to man all the plants that
are idle and which union men have
refused to take hold of. The strikers
say It will take years to accomplish
this' '
Reports from all the mills show that
steady gains are being made in the
force of nonunion men. The strikers
claim to have Induced six nonunion
men to desert the Star mills today
and to have shipped tbem back to
Chicago, whence tbey came. On the
other hand, Superintendent Piper of
the Star plant announced that he is
nearly ready to start up the other
mills in the plant and the men are
now waiting for tbe improvements to
be completed in the mills. In the
Painter mills the work is progress
ing smoothly and no desertions arc
reported. New men are being secured,
though the company officials say that
on Sundays the strikers make an ac
tive canvass of the homes of khe
men at work and seek to Induce tbem
to remain from the plant. The last
two mills in the Painter plant were
to have been started today, but It
was found impossible to have them
ready and the starting was postponed
for a few days. Pickets about the
Liudsay-McCuUbeon plant in Alle
gheny claimed to have turned back a
new man today who was bound for
tbe mills. Other than this there was
no change in tbe Allegheny plant.
The only significant action in Law
rencevillc today was the successful
starting of tbe Guide mill in the low
er union mills of the Carnegie com
pany. The start was made according
to the officials.
