Speech by Sir Alfred Milner in Cnpo

sioner Admits a General Miscalcu
lation as to the Time When Peace

Afrikander Congress.
By K.xcliklvc Wire from llio Associated IN cat.
Cape Town, Nov. fio. In the course
of his address .to the refugees com
Jiiltte on Tuesday, .Sir Alfred Milner
nilmitted that there hud been a gon
eral miscalculation as to the time
when pence would bo restored. Cluer
x Ilia, operations, Intended to Inflict tho
maximum of Injuries on the victors,
lie said, wt'io riming delay, and he
finally pointed out that those fit and
willing to render military service could
bnsten their own loturn and that of
tho other refugees by joining the vol
unteers In the field.
Sir Alfred expressed sympathy with
Iho refugees over the continued re
fusal of the military uuthoiitlos to pcr
anit them to return to their homos,
but said that his recent visit to the
Transvaal had thoroughly convinced
lilm that It would be only a cruel kind
ness to permit any considerable num
ber to go back under existing con
ditions. "We believe In taking the people,"
bo said, "into our confidence. I would
lidvi.se the refugees to form an ad
visory committee and to consult with
tho authorities as to the best possi
ble measures."
Three hundred tioops will be des
patched to tho camp at Worcester,
where the Africander congress will

GERMANS OBJECT TO
THE AMERICAN LOAN
Fears That the United States Will
Become the Banker of Europe Are
Expressed in the Reichstag.
Uy Kelusie Wire from Tho Awotialod INes.
Ueiiln, Nov. 30. In the relchstug to
day during tho debate on the loan
bills. Dr. Von Thielmun, secretary of
the imperial treasury, wus asked why
tho loan for SO.000,000 marks was placed
in America. Ho replied that thi Her
man money market in September was
in mi unfavorable condition and tlie
government had been urged to avoid
doing anything to raise the rate.
Therefore, it was considered advisable
to draw money from America and
Great l'lifain, as they both hud a
great abundance, especially the Un ted
States, and the 'government had to be
careful not to deplete the German
money market towards tho end of thu
year.
Count Von Kanltz, the Agrarian
leader, said he regietted the loan was
not placed in Uennauy. America, lie
added, might easily become tho banker
of Kurope.
Herr Husiug, National bdbcrul, ob
served that patriotic heart-burnings
were unnecessary. Oreat Britain had
also plaeec a, loan in America. Hut, In
his opinion, a clause should have been
inserted prohibiting America from
placing a loan In Germany.
Dr. Von Thielmun, replying lo ills
critics, declared the apprehensions of
Herr Busing wore groundless. Should
ti scarcity of money occur in America,
a contingency which, after the ie-elec-tlon
of President MeKinley, be did not
fear, Americans would only be able
to return the loan to Germany at a
loss.
"I can assure Count Von Kanltz,"
concluded Dr. Thielmun. "that we did
not run after the Americans. They
came to us."
Dr. Arendt, secretary of the German
Bimetallic league, approved placing
the loan abroad. He said its issue In
America protected the market ftom
rises of discount.
Herr Koch, president of the Imperial
bank, also approved the way the loan
was placed. He said he did not entet
taln fear that the loan would be used
by Americans to draw gold from Ger
many. Dr. Von Siemens, president of the
National bank, said it was unnecessary
to go abroad for money. After fur
ther dlscubslon tlie subject was
dropped.

Ily Kxclu-tiio Wire from 'Ihe Asiutlated Picas.
Coustiiiitinople. Thursday, Nov. !!!i.
Tho oiilnlon Is expressed In diplomatic
circles here thai the American claims
arising from tlie Armenian massacres
"may lie regarded as practically set
tled by tin Irnde piovldlng for the
building of a cruiser in the United
States, which lias been ofllcially pro
mulgated." The question of the consulate at
Harpoot (Khaiput) remains to be din
posed of. The l'orte Insists In Its re
fusal to grant an exequatur to Dr.
Thomas 11. Norton. Tlie moral effect,
however, cienteil by the presence of
the United States battleship Kentucky
at Smyrna, in support of the represen
tations of the American legation,
tnkbii In conjunction with the settle
ment of the other claims, lends the
legation to hope for an early nrrane--ment
of all outstanding differences.
London, Nov. SO. Nothing in regard
to llio United States battleship Ken
tucky Is coming direct from Smvrnn.
The authorities there are evidently
censoring all desoatches.
In a IJeuter dispatch from Constant
inople, it is suggested that Russia Is
prompting tlie l'orte to refuse to grant
tin oxquatur to Dr. Norton. The dis
patch adds:
"It is an open secret thnt they dis
like the foreign consuls In Asia Minor,
especially tlie Americans, whom they
suspect of aiding the American mis
sion work in Armenia."
Washington. Nov. HO. No proposi
tion lias come to the United States
government lrotn 'I'm key looking to
the payment of the missionary claims
under the guise of an order for a War
ship to be built In the United States.
While it is hardly expected that any
formal proposition of this kind will
be forthcoming, It is, of course, beyond
tlie power of the state department to
Interfere with any arrangement that ,
llio Turkish government may enter,
into with American Milp-bullders and'
individual claimants. The point is.
after all. to have the claims paid, and
tho state department ollicials are not
very particular as to the form In
which tho payments tire made. Per
haps they are indifferent In mat re
spect because of knowledge of the fact
that the Turkish government might
be embarrassed by th-v pressure of
Kitropean ci editors weie the United
States to Insist upon certain form.i of
pioceduiv. I
Theie are no developments in tlie ne- j
gotiations lespectlng the exequatur of
Dr. Norton, who would be United
States consul at Harpoot. The matter
Is still one of correspondence, and the
authorities here are confident that the
Turkish government will, In tho end,
yield.
