LITFLE COMFORT
GIVEN THE BOERS
Conference of the Generals
With Chamberlain.
THE RESULTS ARE GIVEN
Chamberlain Refers Them to the
Treaty at Vereeniging.
SAYS HE WILL NOT REOPEN THE MATTER
\
Points Out That England Shows a More Liberal
Spirit Than the North Showed at the
Close of the American
Civil War,
(By the Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 10.—A Parliamentary
paper issued today gives a full report of
the recent conference between the Co
lonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain,
and the Boer Generals Botha, De Wet
and Delarey. Prior to agreeing to the
interview which the Boers asked for Au
gust 20th, the Colonial Secretary re
quested a list of the sublects which it
was desired to discuss and the generals
forwarded a list including the following:
Complete amnesty to the rebels.
A yearly grant to all Boer widows and
orphans and maimed Burghers.
Equal rights for the English and Dutch
languages in the schools and courts.
That equal rights with the British be
conceded to Burghers complying with the
terms of surrender, including the right to
return to South Africa.
The immediate release of all prisoners
of war.
The reinstatement of the officials of
the late South African Republic, or com
pensation for their loss of office.
Compensation for all loss occasioned
by the British troops by the use, removal
burning or destruction by other means of
all private property.
The reinstatement of the Burghers in
the ownership of their farms confiscated
'or sold under the proclamation of August
7th, 1901. .
Compensation for the use of the prop
erties of the Burghers taken by the
British authorities. 1
Payment of the lawful obligations of
the late South African Republics, in
cluding those incurred during the war.
The rescission of the decision to add
a portion of the Transvaal to Natal.
Granting an extension of time for the
payment of all debts due by the Burghers
to the late governments of the South
African republics.
Mr. Chamberlain, in replying, express
ed great surprise at the number and
character of the proposals, pointing out
that the conditions agreed on at
Vereeniging were duly accepted by the
Burghers and the British Government,
and that they could not be re-opened, nor
could proposals rejected at that time be
again discussed.
At the opening of the conference the
Boer generals disclaimed any desire to
alter the terms of surrender in any way.
On the subject of amnesty to rebels,
General Botha expressed disappointment
that as the promise given by Lord
Kitchener amnesty had not been granted
at the time of King Edward's coronation,
in reply to which Mr. Chamberlain
promised that the imperial government
would not hinder any generous intentions
of the governments of Natal and Cape
Colony in regard to rebels.
As to the returns of Burghers to South
Africa, the Colonial Secretary decided
it was the government's intention to re
tain the right to prevent the return of
disloyal persons who had not frankly
accepted the terms of peace.
Mr. Chamberlain informed the generals
that there was no truth in the report
that the government intended to sell
farms belonging to Burghers.
Relative to the transfer to Natal of
part of the Transvaal General Botha
said the Burghers proposed to trek
therefrom. He lived there, but he saw
no chance of remaining, the feeling of
the British in Natal being strongly an
ti-Boer.
On the subject of martial law, Mr.
Chamberlain said it would not be con
tinued much longer.
General Botha concluded with an ap
peal for the widows and orphans and
said he considered that the appropria
tion of $15,000,000 was inadequate.
Replying to this, Mr. Chamberlain
compared Great Britain's treatment of
the Boers with the treatment of the
South by the North after the Civil War
in America. "I would remind the gen
eral.” said Mr. Chamberlain, “that we
have undertaken already more obliga
tions than have ever before been under
taken under similar circumstan
ces. To take one case in my time,
I recollect very well the great
Civil War iu America, and I
appeal to that because that stands out
as a case in which more than ever be
fore. >r indeed ever since, the victor,
the conqueror showed a magnaminous
and generous feeling to th'> conquered.
There was good reason for this, because
they were brothers of the same race,
the same religion, the same everything.
It was a civil war, but even in that case
the Northern side, that is to say. the
victorious side, made no provision what
ever either by way of grant, pension or
allowance to the people who had h o en
wounded, to the side that had been con
quered. They gave them their lives and
their liberties, and after a period of ten
years gave them votes but did not give
them any money compensation. But we
step beyond that, because we have con
tributed in addition to all our own enor
mous expenses, a very large sum to re
lieve those who are really destitute in
our new colonies. We have done more
than I think was expected, and wc have
done all that we can afford to do, and
I thißk it would be undesirable for the
generals to press us any further in this
matter, either now or in writing.”
Proceeding Mr. recipro
cated the desire expressed by General
Botha that they should all live in peace
in the future In South, Africa.
How soon complete self-government
will be extended to South Africa depends
entirely on the rapidity with which the
old animosities die out.
Mr. Chamberlain concluded with say
ing that the government would bo giad
of the co-operation of men like the gen
erals who had loyally accepted the new
situation.

KILLICK FIRED THE MAGAZINE-

Done With the Matter,
(By the Associated Press.)
Gonaives, Hayti, Sept. 10.—An investi
gation made by a correspondent of the
Associated Press into the sinking of the
Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot at the
entrance of this harbor Saturday, shows
that Admiral KtHick, her commander,
personally fired the after-magazine of
that vessel, when the German gunboat
Panther attempted to capture her, and
that he apparently went down with his
ship. The Panther, .which had previously
attempted to board the Crete-a-Pierrot,
the latter being moored to the shore, re
versed her engines when the magazine
exploded and one hour afterwards fired
thirty shots from her guns at the Crete
a-Pierrot in, order to finish the work of
sinking her. The Panther then left
Gonaives. •"
It is claimed here that the rifles and
machine guns of the Crete-a-Pierrot have
( been saved.
The body of Admiral Killick was re
covered Saturday afternoon and was
buried the same evening. The surgeon
of the Crete-a-Pierrot, who was asleep

THE COMBAT OF THE RED AND THE BLUE
The German Emperor Looks Tirelessly On
While the Great Game Go?s Forward,
the Blue Army Finally Gain
ing Superior Position.
(By the Associated Press.)
Franltfort-on-the-Oder, Germany, Sep
tember 10.—Emperor William’s guests
were a weary and rather haggard lot
this morning. Prince Albrecht, as the
Emperor's representative, entertained
all of them at dinner last evening and
it was toward twelve when the party
broke up. At 3 a. m., or a quarter past,
they had themselves called, the Emperor
having directed that the battle begin at
seven.
The field of the manoeuvres is
situated quite a distance by rail from
Frankfort-on-the-Oder and the princes
and generals had to assemble at the rail
road station at 4:30 a. m. to catch the
special train. Even then the Emperor
was afield before them.
Tons of gunpowder were burned today.
Sixty thousand infantry and two hun
dred pieces of artillery were in action.
The reports near and distant of the
many thousand of rifles were broken at
intervals by the tearing, ripsawing ef
fect of the firing of the machine guns.
Emperor William, Major General Cor
bin. Major General Young, Brigadier-
General Wood, Lord Roberts, General
French and the other visitors and the
numerous staff, in all one hundred horsc-
men, looked on from a hill top midway
between a portion of the hostile lines.
On a rim of the horizon to the west
flashed eleven batteries of artillery, un
der whose imaginary shells the infantry
of the Red army advanced. The scenic
effect of the whole, especially of the
seemingly limitless number of troops,
satisfied the observers.
The Red army pushed through the
Blues’ centre after three hours' brisk
work, and the aeronauts sent up a great
yellow ball, which was visible for ten
miles around, as a signal that the um
pires had ordered a suspension of the
i engagement.
The opposing forces were freshly re
arranged after the guests and unofficial
I visitors accompanying them had return
ed from Frankfort-on-the-Oder. the Em
peror remaining tirelessly on his horse;
the engagement was resumed and at the
I end of the day, the Blue army was ad
judged to have won superior positions,
i The start tomorrow will be half an
hour earlier than today, requiring the
1 guests to be up at 3 a. m. There is
some jocular complaining of this “too
strenuous life.”

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington. Sept. 10.—It was announced
at the War Department today that the
I President has disapproved the procced
ings and findings in the case of Captain
James A. Ryan, Fifteenth cavalry, who
was tried by a general court martial at

Ryan administered the water cure to
Uvaldo Abing, presidente of the pueblo

treated one Luis Girneno, Vice-President,
of the Pueblo of Jiminiz, by holding his
