Tho nky wan bluo, tho water rippled
under tho fresh wind that held llngi

Ah tho toml. of Gcnoral drant on

Toward tho end, thu parado becumi

Darkness at la3t brought relief to tho
tired admiral, who had r.tood on tho

LONDON, Sept. 30. (Now York
World Cablegram.) I obtained last
night from a high ministerial notirco
thn following authentic fncts concern
ing yesterday's fnterul meeting of tho
Hrltlsh cablnot. When tho ministers
nsscmblcd thoy wero already In pos
sosnlon of u draft of Chamberlain's
proposed ultimatum to tho Iloer repub
lic. Tho torma of tno settlement laid
down woro:
1. Tho substitution of tho articles ot
tho Pretoria convention of 1881. for
those of tho London convention of 1884.
loapcctlng tho Iloer republic's relations
with foreign powers. This substitu
tion means tho abolition of all rights
on tho part of tho public to deal with
foreign powerii and would amnly recall
Dr. i.eydn na Iloer commissioner in
Europe.
2. Tho abolition of nil legislation re
specting aliens adopted by tho republic
sluco 1881. This would remove nil dis
abilities placed by successive Door
ordinances on tho outlnndcrs.
3. Tlio granting of municipal auto
nomy to tho Hand. This would glvo
control of all local alTalrs nueh ua
police, sanitation, nnd ho forth, to tho
district mainly Inhabited by tho out
landcr population. It la tho rovlvnl
of n scheme of homo rulo for tho Hand,
suggested by Clinmbcrlnln to lCrugcr
after tho Jamiesou raid and contempt
uously refused by Krugcr.
4. The removal of all religious disa
bilities. At present Catholics nnd .Iowa
are disabled from holding many olllces,
even tho most Important kind.
r, Thn disarmament of the two great
foils which command .Johannesburg.
The repot t that nr. aln demands a
population Indemnity for military out
lays already Incurred is not accurate,
thougn It Is tho intention of the gov
ernment to ralso that question in duo
course. Finally, 1 may add, tho repub
lic Is called upon to donoiinco Its treaty
or 1872 with Portugal under which it
is empowered to Import arms and am
munition from Dolngoa bay through
Portuguese torrltcry.
Thesa may bo accepted as entirely
accurate, precise Hrltlsh proposals.
They woro adopted by tho cabinet, but
no dispatch was forwarded to Pretoria
laHt night and a further cablnot meet
ing has been eallcit for Tuesday. Tho
ministers woro much surprised that
Kruger had not sent any reply to their
dispatch of last Friday, but ho Booms
to havo delayed It deliberately to em
barrass his enemies, as It is expected
today.

The Filipino envoys had an hour's
conference with General Otis this
morning. Thoy brought from Augul
naldo a messago that Ho desired peaco
and wished to send u civilian gov
ernmental commission to discuss tho
situation. General Otis replied that it
was impossible for him to recognize
Agulnaldo'a govornment In that way.
Thoy presented n letter from Agui
unldo as "president of tho republic,"
which wuu largely a repetition of his
recent appeals tor recognition. General

Tho Filipinos will remain two or

of tho American attitude.
"How long enn tho Filipino army

"Fighting lu our way wo can main

"It Is an Interesting question what

On tho other hand a Filipino exists
with a handful ot rice and a pair of

our soldiers and can practically hold
up their wages as long as wo de3lre.
Even without our present supply of

"With an expense that grows dally
how long will your peoplo Btnnd it?
Tho Filipino peoplo do not wish to
