We also condemn tbe war against the Filipinos, believing It to have been inspired by Great Britain for the purpose of producing conditions tliat will force an Anglo-American alliance, and we not only protest against the war and demand Its termination by extension to the Filipinos of the same assurance given to the Cubans, but we record our deep-seated antagon ism to an alliance with Great Britain or any other European power, and expresses our defla tion of the attempts made In British interests to disrupt the friendly relations which have uni formly obtained between the United States and Germany. We oppose the conquest of .the Philippines, because imperialism means mili tarism, because militarism means government by force, and because government by force means the death-ef government by consent, the destruction of political and Industrial freedom and the obliteration of equality of rights and the assassination of democratic institutions. 0^iik« ne Stm Burghers Croaard Hi^iBiMle||fto Oupe Colo lyjtind Ocuu*. pled Plilllpntown Impel-In wfeserves lu.

No Reliable Information Bas Been Re* ceiveid of Any Actual Fighting Outatde of the Affair at Kraal pun—The 3*000 Troops' at Klmberly Reported In Good Health—Report* of liattle* Keep Up the Excitement In Gape Town. London, Oct. 16.—The gradual cut*, ting off of outlying points at the scenfe of hostilities in South Africa from tele* graphic communication reduced the ac* curate news obtainable to a minimum. Thus far, however, no reliable infor* mation has been received of any actual fighting outside of the affair at Krkal ^NOERTON MAP or TBiNSYAlL. pan and* occasional exchanges of shots at various outposts. There is 'no lao)c of circumstantial stories regarding fighting at various points, but these are scarcely published before they ar? denied. The only salient facts In the morn ing telegrams are that the Boers have advanced beyond Newcastle and formed a laager near Dannhauser, about twelve miles north of Dundee, and that Kimberley Is Isolated and probably infested. Kimberley the.Center of Int«i*«t» Kimberley haa thus become the im mediate center of Interest. The last message from Kimberley, prior Jq,.the cutting of the telegraph and the rail way by the Boers, said: "All the troops'at Kimberley are "well.** As there are 8,000 troops there, there la little anxiety for the safety of the town, especially, as the Boer forces is said "to be only of about "the same' strength. Many stories of brisk fight ing at that point are -in* circulation* but^ although the forces arc likely to have come into contact, all alleged de tails must be regarded as premature and speculative, especially if the re port, be true that the Orange Free State troops are now in complete pos session of the railway from Kimber ley to Orange river. Long- Siege Probable. The alleged virulence of the Boer at tacks upon Mafeking and Kimberley can readily be understood, when It Is realized that Bechuanaland is to the Boers what Alsace-Lorain Is to France. It is therefore probable that" both towns will be forced to undergo a long and dreary Investment before the British are in a position to send a re lieving column. On the othor Bide of the country the Boers are closing around the Brltisb outposts and hnve already come Into touch with them and exchanged shots. Therefore more stirring news Is ex pected. Advices from Cape Town re late that excitement Is kept up there by ceaseless reports of battles, but that little uneasiness Is visible In offi cial circles, where the opinion prevails that Mafeking and Klmbterley are safe. Mm/ Nut Attack Vrybnrjj. It Is thought, too, that the Boers are not likely to attack Vryburg, In Bech auanaland, owing to the fact that the population of that district is largely Dutch. It is assumed that the refusal of the Boers to accept battle In Natal last week when General Sir George Stewart White advanced and endeav ored to draw them through Van Ree nen's pass, Indicates their unwilling ness to commence hostilities. On tbe other hand the Boers are probably too aBtute to play the BriMsh game at the risk of an engagement on ground where artillery could be brought Into play and cavalry moved rapidly.
