OUTLINES BOER POSITION. President Kroner Presents His CmaO to Americans— Republic Will Be Defended. New York, Sept. World publishes the following dispatch from Paul Kruger, president of the South African republic, in response to a message sent by that paper: "I gladly accede to your request to put the Boer side before the American public. The present agitation against this republic emanates partly from a certain section of British residents to whom the existence of the republic, which embraces the most flourishing parts of South Africa, is a standing eyesore, and who suffer from the prevailing Jingo mania, partly also from mining capitalists, who, not content with having here the best mining laws In the world, wish also to have complete control of all legislation and admlnistration. . . , "The franchise voting question was taken up by England because it was thought the republic would not yield on that point. Now that the altered franchise does not materially differ from the American It Is in many respects easier—the agitation has become worse. The object clearly is the destruction of our republic ahd the complete control of the richest mines in the world. . "The press, entirely controlled by capitalists, spreads unprecedented misrepresentation and prejudice throughout the world against the Boer republic. "We are determined to defend to the uttermost that freedom and self-government for which our people have shed blood in every part of South Africa. Though we have no such powerful friend as you proved to Venezuela and to other republics, we have strong faith that the cause of freedom and republicanism will triumph in the end." ' „ Pretoria, Sept. 7.—The latest reply of the Transvaal republic to the British demands has been published. In this reply regret is expressed that the proposals of Great Britain are unacceptable. The Transvaal government admits Great Britain’s rights under the convention and international law to protect her subjects, but denies a claim of suzerainty. The reply agrees to a further conference regarding the fran; chise and representation. London, Sept. 9. The cabinet council here Friday attracted greater public interest than any meeting of the ministers for years past. It is understood that the result of the meeting established thesp facts: Parliament will not be summoned. The reserves will not be called out. Ten thousand troops will be sent to South Africa. The council was marked by absolute unanimity, and in spite of a lack of official information and the presence of much corroborative evidence that the situation is scarcely less strained there is no sign Qf any intention to convene parliament and ijo immediate necessity exists to call Out tlie reserves. It is probable, however, that the appeals from the government of Natal will result* in the dispatch of a large body of troops from England and India to Natal and Cape Colony. Although the foreign office has not given out a statement, the general im-, pression was that no ultimatum would be sent to the Transvaal at present and that a time-limit will be placed for a conference at Cape Town. Pretoria, Sept. 9. The government has issued a formal announcement that i its last dispatch was intended as an ac- | ceptance of the joint inquiry. The ; mistaken interpretation arose through a confusion of ideas. Both President Kruger and Vice President Joubert declare that they are determined to work for a peaceful settlement. * I i Slieridan In Port.

"What we want,” said the publisher, “isa good, realistic story of army life. Something that will show just how events move among the soldiers.” . “I see," said the author; "I was m the army myself. 1 know exactly how things are conducted.” "Something that will thnll the reader tothe marrow and make his hair stand on nd " , ~ . , "I thought you said you wanted something out of the ordinary.” “That’s what I am after. “Well, in that case, we won’t have any thrill in it. Os course, it’s there, but it comes so suddenly and is so soon over that you hardly have time to know what thrilled you. If you want to get right down to-hard-pan realism and sound the keynote of the soldier’s general experience, you want to leave out most of this description of a hero rushing headlong through struggling men and over fallen horses, waving a gun with one hand and the star spangled banner with the other, while singing 'My Country, ’Tis of Thee/ ’at the tOp of hi voice. We’ll get out of the beaten track of fiction and relate how many hours a day he spend currying his horse and polishing his weapons, and how many mile 9 a day he traveled, and how often he wanted to talk back and didn’t dare, and how he would have been willing to give four dollars a square inch for a beefsteak, and all merest of the little details which play so important a part and which writers of fiction have hitherto so strangely neglected.
