NO WORD FROM OUR BATTLESHIP Therefore the Situation n tlm Tort of Smyrna C'lin Only l u ( ttirBSL-il Al The Torte Still Kufiuon to Isiiuo livciitinlur to IJulegutu of United States , LONDON , Dec. 1. Nothing in re gard to the United Statsa battleship Kentucky is coming direct from Smyr na. The authorities there are evident ly censoring all dispatches. CONSTANTINOPLE , Thursday , Nov. 29. The opinion Is expressed In diplo matic circles that the American claims arising from the Armenian massacres "may now be regarded ns practically Bottled , as an trade providing for the building of a cruiser in the United States Is ofllclally promulgated. " The question of the consulate at Ilar- poet remains open , the porto persist ing in its refusal to grant an exe quatur to Dr. Thomas II. Norton. The moral effect , However , created by the presence of the United States battle- Hhip Kentucky at Smyrna in support of the representations of the American legation , taken in conjunction with the settlement of the other claims , leads the legation to nope for an early ar rangement of all outstanding differ ences. LONDON , Dec. 1. A Router dis patch from Constantinople says U Is suggested that Russia is prompting the porte to refuse to grant an exequatur to Dr. Norton. The dispatch adds : "It is an open secret that they dislike the foreign consuls In Asia Minor , espe cially the Americans , whom they sus pect of aiding the American mission work in Armenia. " WASHINGTON , Dec. 1. No propo < * sition has come to the United States government from Turkey 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 the power of the otato department to prevent or interfere with any arrange ment v/lth American shipbuilders and individual claimants. The point is , after all , to have the claims paid and the state department ofliclaln are not particular as to the form in which the payments are paid. Perhaps they are indifferent in this respect because of knowledge of the fact that the Turk ish government might be terribly em barrassed by the pressure of Euro- jiean creditors were the United States government to insist upon certain forms of procedure in this case. There are no developments in the ne gotiations respecting 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 the end , yield on this point. BOLOMEN TO BE HANGED.

A TRUCE FOR THE BOERS. London Statist 1'ropoHo.s Negotiations With Generals Hotlni and Duwut. LONDON , Dec. 1. Tomorrow the Statist will propose that the govern ment should begin negotiations with Commandant General Botha and Gen eral Dewet to bring the war to a close. As the Boer leaders might misunder stand the motive of an overture from the military , it will suggest thnt the highest civil authority in Capetown should begin the negotiations , if not Sir Alfred Milner , then the chief jus tice of Cape Colony , or even Mr. J. F. Hoffmaycr. This great financial journal will lead up to its proposal by an analysis of the-situation In South Africa and will say : "We are losing In every way ; los ing In prestige and losing in life. Wo are seeing our South African posses sions plunged Into greater distress and the opinion is gaining ground abroad .that we arc Incapable of bring the struggle to a satisfactory termination.

SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 30. By the collapse of the roof of the San Fran cisco and Pacific glass works at Fif teenth and Bryant streets about sixty icrsons were more or less injured , some of them fatally. At 3:15 : o'clock ho number of dead was reported as ten. . The victims were watching the foot > all game between the Stanford and University of California teams when the roof beneath them gave way , pre cipitating them to tho'floor of the fac- ory. Some of them fell upon the fur- laces and one man of unknown idcn- Ity was burned almoht to n crisp. The crash of the falling roof was heard a sreat dibtance away and thousands of people hurried to the scene. Mes sages were sent to the city receiving lospltal and the morgue and all the available ambulances were hurried to ho spot. At the Central receiving hospital at 1 o'clock five of the Injured had been ecolved. At the time of the accident hero was but ono doctor on duty at ho hospital and ho was totally unable to attend the cases at they came In. A summons was sent out immediately calling upon doctors in the nclghbor- lood to come and render assistance. Owing to the confusion existing at hat time the name of but ono of the njured has been learned. Thnt one was Al Kssmnnn , who was frightfully cut about the head and face. The crowd was gathered upon the oof of a. building directly over the 'urnaces of the glass works. When he roof collapsed evry occupant was precipitated upon the heated top and ailed off. Fully forty wore injured , icarly all of them seriously. Seven of the dead are boys ranging in age 'rom ten to fifteen years. They were 'ound lying in a row and most of them -were badly mangled. There were at least 200 people on , ho roof when It collapscd.and of these it least sixty went down. Thoao who were fortunate enough to bo on a solid section of the building scurried down and helped remove the injured. The icat around the furnaces was so great , however , that to many no assistance could bo rendered and they olowly roasted to death. Not 200 yards away .vero . 20,000 people watching the foot ball game and when the news became mown there was Intense excitement among them. The ushers went through : ho crowd calling for doctors and many surgeons hurriedly left the ; amo. The living victims from the disaster were taken to various hospi tals. The Southern Pacific hospital , within two blocks of the glass works , wan soon overcrowded and many wounded had to be turned away. They were hurried to St. Luke's , the city receiving hospital and nearby drugstores. So scattered are they [ imong the various institutions that It Is impossible to toll exactly how many were hurt or how seriously they were Injured. The coroner did not have enough wagons to remove the dead and they were taken away In express wagons. Many elegant private carriages were waiting outside the foot ball grounds and they were pressed Into service to take away the wounded. A high fence surrounds the glass works grounds nnd thousands of people attempted to get inside. They were restrained with difficulty by a largo force of police. United Stairs Kurthi > r Crltlrl/txl.

The business was mostly of H preliminary character , the discussion being quite general on army affairs. The republican members ot the committee apparently are In favor of giving the president such an army as ho may require. The commlttoo will consult with Secretary of War Root this afternoon , If ho roaches Washington. The draf * . of a bill al ready prepared by Chairman Hull will bo the basis of the measure which the committee will consider. This bill provides for an army of the maximum strength of 100,000 men , with a mini mum of 50,000 and general officers at the rate of ono brigadier general for each , 4,000 mon , with major generals In proprotlon. Chairman Hull states that there will bo but ono bill prepared and If any atalt changes nro contemplated they will bo Incorporated In that meas ure. ure.Tho The members of the committee probably will confer with Secretary Root in a day or two.

There Is no provision for a lieuten ant general In the war department bill , but under the present law tlio se nior major general commanding would have the rank of nontenant general. Tho-war department bill does not give the same Increase of major general ! ) nnd brigadier generals as the Hull bill. The detailed staff provision Is an Im portant feature of the mcnnnrc. It pro vides that hornnftmvnnnnnlna In thrs staff , excepting the medical corpa , pay corps nnd engineers , shall bo filled by details from the line , such detailed ofllcors being subject to line duty at any time. This Is the same as the Hull bill of the last congress and Is earnestly favored by Secretary Root.

The ofllcers of the present volunteer army can become officers In the regular army , but In the grades of first nnd second lieutenant only , tha vacancies in the captains' rank being filled from the first lieutenants of the present regular establishment.
