(Copyright, 190, by LONDON, Dec. 1 Press Publishing ¢ (New York World Ca blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—Despite th apparent British determination to puriue relentlessly the present policy of crushing the Boers the belief is spreading that the government must offer terms in order (o end the war. The Hocrs might now accept Dritish supremacy, as manifested by the stationing of British gairizons in designated towns of the two republics, if their govern ment was Autonomous the Canadian model.

Thelr policy, while awalt- Ing opportunity, Is to boycott British manu- facturers.

In this respect Lord Wolseley is in agree- ment with Lord Roberts. Both regard General Lyttleton the best man for that command. Lord Roberts is returning in anything but a satisfied frame of mind, as the government and the criticisms of the ministerial press betray anxiety to get him bhome chiefly to make way for Lord Kitch- ener. Predictious of Trouble. Lord Kitchener's unpopularity with the army—all ranks—Iis phenomenal. Already the volunteers, both British and colonlal, are in & statp of seething discontent al- most amounting to mutiny at being com- pelled to endure the terrible trials of guer- rilla warfare, while tavored volunteer corps Itke the London C. I. V.'s and even regu- lars Ifke the Household cavalry aod the Tenth hussars, are sent home. The effect of Lord Kitchener's uncon- trolled severity In view of this condition of things Is awaited with profound anxlety in military circles, where his professional ability 18 regarded with something ap- proaching contempt BOERS MAY COME TO AMERICA Consul Hol Seve Report lundred Tmmigrat!

KRUGER AND HIS SOLDIERS Pretty Scene in Paris Retween the 014 President and a Vol teer Colonel, (Copyright, 1900, by Press Publishing €o.) PARIS, Dec. 1= w York World Cablegram-—Special Telegram.)—John Mc- Bride, who organized and commanded the Irish brigade in the Transvaal, salled to- day for New York, where he will begin a locture tour through the United States. M- Bride went to South Africa immediately after the Jameson raid. Feeling that trouble was inevitable he enlisted every Irishman in Johannesburg and drilled them. The day war was declared his brigade was ready | first to take the field. When President Kruger espied McBride among the Irish delegates on the day of his arrival in Paris he went stralght to him and placed his hands on his shoulders, saying: ‘“Ah, here you are, my boy. I'm glad to see you got through safely. 1 have been wondering all the time about you. When told about McBride's American trip Kruger sald: “That's good. Just Irundldly tell America what you have seen.'"” LEAGUE INVITES MR. KRUGER Chicngo Members of Transvaal Anx- fllary Prepares Urgent Request that He Come On Over.

It resembles in many ways America’s trouble with the Filipinos. We cannot expect to crush out opposition | for some time to come. We are not with- drawing troops Indiscriminately, nor are wa ndifferent to the gravity of the problem. The Household cavalry has como becauss heavy cavalry s practically useless.

Second, through the | establishment of a force of police. Until! the latter gets Into working order the cav- alry will not be abla to accompiish much The police force should be similar to the Irish constabulary, only the men will be | mounted. When that body is organized I belleve a change will soon come over the situation.” [/ ns Not Surprised. The Canadian officers who returned here trom South Africa this week expressed no surprise at the renewal of Boer successes. They ouly wondered that they had not been greater. The Canadians, however, are unani- mous In expressing the bellef that Gen- eral Kitchener s the right man to deal with the form of oppoeition now faced by the British in South Africa. Hardly any of the returning officers expressed criticlsm of | Lord Roberts, even in the face of the recent reverses. The general feellng toward the fleld marshal is well put by the Sun of this “Lord Roberts is a brilliant, dashing sol- dler and has displayed consummate ablility. But, after all, we fear he s too much of & humanitarian for the work now to be done. Once Kitchener gets to work on the Boers, nothing will stop him.” There is a noticeable {ncursion of Fili- pinos into London and Paris. The report, subsequently denled, that Agoncillo, Agul- naldo's agent in Europe, was contemplating golng to Hong Kong to reorganize there the Filipino transport and resupply the Fil pinos with munitions of war, has given rise to the belief that the Filipinos in Europe are contemplating & new campaign. A re- porter of the Assoclated Press has inter- viewed one of the most prominent members of the European junta, who has just re- turned from Parls and Madrid. He sald: “We are planning no new campaign. Thero 1s no reason why Agoncillo should go to Hong Kong to give the Filipinos a further supply of munitions of war. The fact that Agoncillo has just leased & home in Paris shows he intends to remaln there and watch events. The reports of our committees at Kobe, Yokohama, Macao, Batavia, Hong Kong and Bangkok show they are all work- | ing well. This is also evidenced by the fact that 10,000 rifles were smuggled into Manila | last month. The war 18 no nearer an end | than ever. The Filipno resources are still great, as can be judged by the fact that Agulnaldo 1s continuing t> keep and feed 3,000 Spanish prisoners, Election a Disappointment. “We aro deeply disappointed at the re- election of Mr. McKinley. Although our agents {n the United States never led us to | bolteve Mr. Bryan would actively help us, yot we relied on the strength of the anti- imperialists in the United States. Wo arc still anious to come to au understanding and there are indications that Mr. McKinley favors a compromise. It is clear that Judge Taft goes beyond his instructions and that Mr. McKioley is prepared to give greater | concessions than Judge Taft. It Is true that & large number of Filipinos are flocking to European countries. At least sixty are now in London, but not with the idea of a re- newed propaganda. The junta s content to awalt until the Americans are tired ot losing officers and men by deaths from sick- ness. We hope and belleve better times are in store.” Sir Thomas Lipton recently has been con- | sidering the proposal to send Shamrock 11 | into American waters for a series of trial | races.

Lebargy sald: “The prince of Wales lacks the subtle imagination to innovate any- thing and whatever he may have been years go has long gone. Wales now lacks the physique, knowl- edge and tact to wear properly even the creations of others. 1 have known him per- sonally for ten or twelve years and never once have seen him dressed like a gentle- man.'"
