WILL HOLD CONFERENCE

FItE.IDnvr KRUGEH AD SIR ALFRED 31ILER TO MEET SOON. AiTnlr In the Transvaal to De Dl-cnMPd-"Oom Paul's Proposed Reform a Letter from Andree. LONDON, May lS.The secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, announced In the House of Commons to-day that a meeting between Sir Alfred Milner, the governor of Cape Colony and high governor of South Africa, and President Kruger had been arranged to take place in Bluerafontein, capital of the Orange Free State, at the invitation of the President of the Orange Free State. He added: "Sir Alfred Milner, with my approval, accepted the Invitation with the earnest hope of arriving at a satisfactory bettlement of the situation which the British government could accept and recommend the uitlanders as a reasonable concession of their Just demands." President Kruger has also accepted, but he added that tho terms of Sir Alfred Milner's acceptance go further than his intention, and that he will gladly discuss every proposal conducing to a good understanding between the Transvaal and Great Britain, providing the independence of the Transvaal is not Impugned." Opposition cheers. . Reforms Muy De Secured NEW YORK, May IS. A dispatch to the Commercial Advertiser from London says: "A considerable part of the current agitation in both London and the Transvaal is concerted effort to force the imperial government to more extreme measures than it thinks wise. The government hopes that the recent dispatch of Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, which was a strong remonstrance, not an ultimatum, and the approaching conferences of President Kruger and Sir Alfred Milner, Governor of Cape Colony and high commissioner of South Africa, will bring about reforms in the extension of the franchise to outlandera and of the independence of the courts from Boer influence. These are virtually the demands of a fair-minded majority of the outlanders. Prance and Germany tacitly approve them. The extreme party in Johannesburg and London is urging the government to threaten force, perhaps by the dispatch of reinforcements to Africa, secure these and other reforms. Otherwise the extremists believe that the negotiations will be without result. The extremists have influential representatives here and in Africa vigorously and privately pressing the government and opinion through the newspapers. C?cil Rhodes has some share in these efforts. If the govern ment fail? to meet tho extremists desires, some prefer to see the conferences miscarry." Kr user's Proposed Reforms. PRETORIA, Transvaal Republic, May IS. President Kruger'a reform proposals have been presented to the Raad. They suggest that the franchise be conferred on aliens five years after eligibility to a second Raad, Instead of ten years of such eligibility, as is now the case, thus making a nine years' residence in the Transvaal necessary f r a full franchise.

General Corbin left for Hot Springs to-day to learn from the President whether or not he will Insist on his original order to General Brooke being carried out.

BIG STEAMSHIP AFIRE THE DARDAROSSA FORCED TO PUT BACK FOR SANDY IIOOIC Flurrr Anionic the 4S7 rassensjers La Dretaffne and Other Vessels Struck by the Imperiled Steamer. NEW YORK, May 18. The North German Lloyd steamship Barbarossa, which sailed for Southampton and Bremen at 11 o'clock tjils morning, was discovered on fire while she was passing Sandy Hook, two hours later, and put back to port. The fire was in the forward hold. The Barbarossa fought the fire with steam and water, and with the aid of wrecking tugs and fireboats drowned it out two hours later, while lying at quarantine. The vessel, while on her way up the river after the fire in her hold had been put out, hit the French liner La Bretagne, lying at her pier, in the North river, shoving the Bretagne's bow through two Ice barges, the Richard Foster and the Leroy, sinking them. No one was injured. The cargo in the Barbarossa's forehold will have to be discharged before the vessel resumes her voyage. There was some flurry among the 4S7 pasrengers when they discovered that fire was consuming the cargo between decks, but no hatches were removed and all on board were assured there was no danger. When the steamship started back she set signals reading that she was afire and wanted help. These she changed on her way up through the bay, asking aid to stand by ready to take off her passengers. Shipping men and the lookout at Sandy Hook noted the Barbarossa when she slacked her speed off the southwest spit, and as soon as she broke out her signals started to render whatever service was possible. Telegrams were sent to the fire department here, to the agents and to quarantine. The captain of the government steamer Ordnance summoned his crew and that of the life-saving station at Sandy Hook and started at once in pursuit of the big ship, which was then under full headway. A' number of smaller craft trailed along in her wake. It was seen from the shore that the fire had not got beyond the control of the crew. The decks had not been cleared of passengers, and there was no indication of smoke arising from the bat-tended-down hatches. She traveled along at a good rate In the center of the channel. At 2:10 o'clock the vessel came up abreast of the quarantine station and slowed down. The wrecking tug William Cooley was in the stream to meet her and was at once lashed alongside. Hose from the Cooley's big pumps was passed up to the deck of the Barbarossa and the tugboat at once commenced pouring water into the burning compartment. The hold where the fire started was No. 3, and with the water that was poured Into it and the adjoining sections the big liner soon commenced to gro down by the head. A big force of the vessel's crew was kept at work over the section of the deck under which the fire burned. The fireboats New Yorker and Robert A. Van Wyck had started down from the Battery as soon as word was received that the big steamship was coming back to the city. Soon fif ter they got under way the Zophaer Mills and a boat chartered by the agents of the North German Lloyd line started down. They reached the versel while she was lying off Stapleton and helped fight the fire. At twenty-nve minutes past 3 o'clock the blaze had been entirely drowned out. Immediately the Barbarossa started for her pier in Hoboken under escort of a fleet of tugs. Her passengers did not seem particularly concerned over the situation. It is honed that the steamship will be able to. sail to-morrow. Passengers were allowed to go ashore. Among the 336 cabin passengers on board were Dr. Charles A. Briggs and family, Mr. and Airs. W. D. Boyce, of Chicago. Another dispatch says that on rounding the Battery it was necessary to slacken speed and hug the New York shore because of the number of craft on the river. As soon a3 the Barbarossa neared the ferry slips a Christopher-street ferry boat slipped out. The Barbarossa had to dodge this and a!so a cattle ship. Then appeared the United States mall boat and an EtIo lighter. The Barbarossa struck the lighter and sustained a bent prow. This threw her into the slips. The side of the vessel struck the end of Pier 41, throwing the bow lno the French ilner L Bretange, which lay at the dock. She struck with such force that the Bietange was stove in. She was rammed so hard that all of-the gangways and freight skids were splintered. Her prow was run clear through the barse Foster, sinking the barge immediately. The barge Leroy was rammed so badly that she sunk within a short time. The Barbarossa was hauled off and. still burning fiercely below decks, taken across the river to her dock in Hoboken. Her prow was badly twisted, the paint off her sides and some of her p'ates sprung. Her cotton-laden compartment was flooded, and about 9 o'clock the fire was extinguished. All of her passengers had been put off. The damage to La Bretagne Is heavy. A wedge-shaped gap appears six or eight feet wide on the deck and tapers down below the water line. General Superintendent Jean De Bocando. of the French line, said: "I cannot say how great our Iof Is until La Bretagne is put in dry dock. Thl9 will be done immediately. I hope to get her off "cn her regular trip next Wednesday. Notwithstanding the temporary repairs and efforts made to stop the flow cf water, the Bretagne Is settled considerably, but fears rot entertained of the ship sinking. The two sunken barge, with their cargoes, were valued at about $6,000. Movements of Steamers. LIVERPOOL Mav 1. Arrived: Auranla, from New York; Numidian. from Montreal. QUEENSTOWN. May 18.

Plucky Deed of a Little Native African In the Jungle. Wide World Magazine. While staying in one of the FubMrbs of the capital of Toro I was one morning called up by the chief to come at or.ee and shoot a Hon that was doing great damage in the district, and had just then killed a poor woman while cultivating her garden. She was stooping down pulling up soma weeds, when In front of her .she heard the horrid roar of a Hon. Looking up in speechless horror she saw In the grass a few yards away a huge male Hon apparently about to spring upon her: but just at that moment the lioness, which had crept up behind her, sprang out, and with an awful stroke of the forepaw killed her where she stood, and then carried her off lnt the thicket. As soon as I heard this story I started oil with a couple of my boys to hunt the lions, but. although I ispent the whole day searching, not a lion did I see. The mangled remains of the poor woman we discovered, but the lions kept out of our way. However, a few days after this a party of native hunters, returning from their day's hunt after small antf lope, were attacked by the same lions. Walking In single file through the long grass on the narrow path, the man at the end of the line was suddenly seized from behind by the lioness and Instantly killed and carried off. The rest of the prty made off with all haste excepting one little boy, the son of the man killed, and he. amazingly plucky little fellow that he Is. actually turned back and, armed with nothing but a small spear, followed the blood-stained track through the thicket. After a little while be came upon the Honest in the act of devouring bis father. Without a moment's hesitation this brave little chap rushed at the huge beast, and the llones?, becoming awar of his approach, left the prey and sprang upon the boy. By a merciful Providence the Fpear which the boy carried entered the breast of the lioness, and, by the brute's own weight, was forced risrht Into Its body, piercing the heart, and the great creature rolled ovr stone dead. Tho boy waa utterly unharmed. Rapidly withdrawing his little weapon, he rushed to the mangled remains of hl3 father, and while bending over them the male l.'on came roaring through the thicket. The grief-stricken lad sprang up. and with almost superhuman courage rushed towanl the second lion, waving aloft his bloodstained sper. and shouting: "Come on, come on: I'll kill you also!" But the male Hon was s?o discomfited by th unexpected approach of the lad that he turned tall and fled, leaving his spouse dead by the side of her mangled prey. The boy then went home to his village and called his friends t come and bring the dead lioness to the King, and this was done. The brave little fellow was suitably rewarded by Kasagama for his wonderful pluck, and he made him his own page. I Ehotographed him. with his llttl rpar all lood-stalned, just after his noteworthy act of braveryGOING 1IOMB IN A LL.NC1I CAR, Belnar the Experience of n Party of Delated Young: Society Folk.
