Ministers are Applauded by Crowds at End of Cab inet Meeting. Can Kruger xpect to Get HelpFrom Ger many? Cost of Trausnortingr the Indian Troops to- South Africa Esti mated at $2,000,000. London, Sept. 22. No official an nouncement has been made as to the decision of the cabinet ait its meeting today but the news agencies sent out a paragraph evidently obtained from an official source saying a despatch would be sent to the Transvaal strongly pro testing against, the-charge of bad faith made against the British diplomatic agent, Mr. Greene; expressing regret ait the Transvaal's refusal of England's offer and saying that England wild now proceed to formulate her own proposals for settlement. The cabinet council was begun at 12:30. A large crowd assembled about Downing street early in the day. The cabinet ministers were loudly cheered, Mr. Chamberlain receiving the lion's share of the applause. The meeting ended at 2:40. The ministers were cheered they came out of the foreign office. Nothing transpired regarding the action taken, (though the general impression spread that a vigorous line had been adopted. The secretary of state for war, the Marquis of Lans downe, and First Lord of the Admir alty George J. G-oschen immediately proceeded to the, war office. Immediately after the cabinet coun cil the German ambassador visited the premier and had a conference. The fact that a similar visit immediately followed the previous cabinet council attaches significance.and the Lu'erenre ijs tlat Emperor William is taking an active part in Transvaal affairs. The official German piress, however, Ts so outspoken in telling Kruger he n.xd not expect German aid it is scarcely possible to attach credence to the in ference. It is possible the question of Tolagoa Bay was discussed. Rumors are cur rent regarding the result of l''j cabinet council, a''Jl professing to be based on rood sources. They are va-j ie anl contradictory. Later in the 'ay varuvs rrmors are still current regarding tne cabinet meeting, but the following which the Fall Mall Gazere puolii;hr-s is believed to be correct: "The com paratively short duration of the coun cil warrants the conclusion that noth ing of supreme importance wai decid- od, and such we believe to be me fact. According to the Pall Mall Gazette th' British answer opens with an ex- pression or regret at tne unuivuiujie character of Reitz's reply, an t prooc-ds -.vith an insistence upon the repudiation oi the claim of the Traisvaaft- tothe status of a sovereign state, '.-"jointing out British readiness to settlo the 11a tvre of the proposed arbitration tribun al piovided the othir British cona tions are promptly and unreservedly accepted, concluding with an intima tion that the imperial government is now engaged in drawing up its own terms and the Transvaal m'ay expect t.i hear very shortly. Tne .fan man ga zette says another meeting cf .e cid inet will take place Thursday or Fri day when the issues will be presented in a more serious shape. The Pall Mall Gazette today publish es a despatch from Oapatowi w"o?ch says it is stated the Boers are gttii.g a to sympathizers in the rvrarte-e Free State and Cape Colorfy that the Transvaal will be first to irake war.

It is RIGHTS OF AMERICANS TO BE PROTECTED Transvaal Not to be Allowed to Force Them to Military Service. Waeftiington, Sept. 22. The govern ment is not concerned over the possi bility in the event of war between England and the Ttransvatail that the latter country will impress Americana into the military service. Such a pro ceeding on the part of the "Roers, it is asesrted, would meet with a prompt re sponse from the United, States, ' which would go beyond a mere protest. No government has ever acknowledged t'hiat another government has the right to comped' its citizens to serve in re pelling foreign invasion. The state department has taken steps to eee that the rights of Americans in the Transvaal shall be protected in the event of war. The United States con sul at Pretoria recently telegraphed Secretary Hay the text of the articles of the Boer legislation relating to mili tary service by foreigners and notified ! the secretary that Americans had ask- ' ed that their lives and interests be pro tected. The consul was instructed to make emphatic protest against any at tempt to impress Americans and to watch the matter carefully. THE WRECK DISCOVERED OF UNKNOWN SCHOONER Supposed That Her Grew of a Dozen Men Were Drowned. St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 22. The wreck of an unknown fishing schooner believ ed to be one of the many wrec caus ed by the recent gale, was discovered near Cape Pine today. From " "near ances it is believed the vessel had a crew of twelve or fourteen. It is be lieved that all perished. The loss of two fishing skiffs, with crews of four each, is reported from Cabot island. POLITICAL EXILES RETURN TO SAN DOMINGO. Jiminez Will be Elected -President of the Republic. Santo Domingo, Sept. 22. A warship from Forto Rico with forty TXlitlciaLl exiles arrived today. The return of the exiles aroused much enthusiasm among the populace. The decree of the government fixing October 6 to Octo ber 8 for primary elections and provid ing for a meeting of the electoral col lege, although a revolutionary action and against the constitution has been well received. The government s ac tion was ratified by a popular demon stration, the crowds crying "Down with the constitution." The officers will be elected for a full term1 of four years. Jiminez is the only candidate for the presidency of the republic. ILL TREATMENT OF COOLIE LABOR IN HAWAII; Washington, Sept. 22. George D. Gear, an attorney of Honolulu, caJKed at the state department today to pre sent a statement relative to the ill- treatment of coolie labor in the Ha waiian Mands. He asserts that the su preme count of Hawaii by its rulings is sustaining a system of slavery of the worst kind in the islands in viola tion of the constitution of the United States, and asks that the attorney gen eral be requested to declare whether the constittion covers the islands. M'KINLEY'S TRIP WEST. Washington, Sept. 22. The arrange ments for the president s western trip ; ot-q Volnor norf orteir? T,ho nreci rl pn wi 11 go west even if the present difficulties in connection with the Chicago cele bration are riot adjusted. He will be in Salisbury, 111., October 7, and at St. Paul to receive the Minnesota volun teers returning from the Philippines on the 12th. From the 8th to the 11th he wiil be in Ob '"ago unless the celebra tion there, which is set for the 10th, is abandoned- There are a number of other engage ments in contemplation. The invita tion to attend the reunion or the Blue and Gray at Evansyille, Ind., between the 10th and the 13th cannot be ac cepted because it will conflict with the Minneapolis and St. Paul engagement. A committee consisting of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Representative Perkins, of Iowa; Interstate Commerce Commissioner Youmans, and J. V. Ma honey, of Sioux City, Iowa, were at the White house yesterday and urged the president to go to Sioux City after his visit o St. Paul. It is probable that the president's arrangements can be adjusted to accept this invitation. A high arm machine for $20.00 at Mrs. L. A. Johneom'6, 27 North. Main street.
