CHAFFEE ORDERED TO PEKII.
Will load The Americans Contin
gent To Chinese Capital.
Washington. I. C (Special )-Rriga-dier
Oefcriil Chaffee has been assigned
to the command of the American land
forces In China, and he in to be given
jail the soldiers he may need to protect
Americans in their life ana property,
j The formal orders to General ChaftVe,
direct him to take command of the
troops ordered to China, and to proceed
to Pekin by way of S&n Francisco and
Taku, accompanied by his aids. The
direction to proceed to the capital of
the Chinese empire Indicates a firm de
termination on the part of the gov
ernment authorities to have a strong
military force at the neat of the Chi
nese government. Arrangements are
being made for sending a brigade from
the Philippines an! the S:xth cavalry
irom the Unite! States, but a cable
gram was sent to General MaeAruthr,
commanding the forces ir. the Philip
pines, asking htm how many of his
troops he could spare for service in
China. The purpose cf this Inquiry is
to ascertain how many reinforcements
can be sent to General Chaffee if a
single brigade is net sufficient.
General Chaffee was at the war de
partment today and was given his In
structions, after which he called on
the president and also had consulta
tions with Secretary o," the Navy Lonj
and Assistant Secretary cf War Mei
klejohn. He is to sail from San Fran
cisco on July 1 on the transport car
rying the Sixth cavalry. The desire
to have General Chaffee and this cav
alry regiment reach China with little
delay is such that the transport will
not stop at Honolulu, but will continue
on her way direct to Nagasaki, Japan.
At that point General Chaffee will fo
In communication with the war de
partment and will receive further in
structions. If the trouble is all over the
troops will go from Nagasaki to Ma
ila. General Chaffee, under his 1 resent in
structions, will assume command of all
the American land forces and will act
in conjunction with the military forces
of other powers for the protect! n of lift
and property of foreigners in China.
He is to report to the American minis
ter at Pekin fts soon as he can place
himself in communication with that offi
cial. In military operations General
Chaffee will be supreme. In other mat
ters he will act under the direction of
Minister Conger, if the minister Is safe.
It was the first Intention of the war de
partment to place Brigadier General
R. H. Hall In command of the brigade
to be sent from the Philippines. Gen
eral Hal! will be in command of the
troops until General Chaffee's arrival,
and he may continue as chief n com
mand. UTILE T TIEI TSII.
Chines Routed By Gallant Charge
of British and Americans.
London. (Special.) Only today have
details come in of the fierce encounter
which was fought at the gates of Tier.
Tsin by the llrfle allied force and the
vast hordes of Chinese troops and Box
ers. The Chinese were heavily en
trenched across the main gate of the
town and in for some distance down
the street.
The fight opened at daybreak Satur
day. One hundred American marines
were vith the International force. As
soon as day dawned, the International
force began a heavy shelling, the Chi
nese replying with vigor. Gradually
the little force advanced, and one by
one the Chinese guns were dismounted.
The Chinese rallied around their dis
abled artillery and attempted to make
a stand, but the gallant charge of the
American and British marines was Irre
sistible, and the Chinese fled In dis
order. From this time on the battle was a
rout and the British and Americans
turned It Into a sprinting match to see
who would enter the town first. The
rivalry was keen, but the two forcel
entered the town neck and neck.

EKVOYS STATEMENT TO AMERICA.
Are Cra'eful For Symphathy and
Ask Only Its Continuance,
New York. (Special.) The Boer en
voys have Issued an address to the
people of t.se United States. They ex
press their thanks for "the deep sym
pathy the Americans have shown fr
the cause of the two struggling repub
lics," and say further:
"We now feel convinced that the
boastful allegation of the colonial sec
retary' and other British statesmen that
the citizens of this great country sym
pathized with the British empire In
Its attempt to crush the liberty of our
two small states Is absolutely devoid
of truth.
"Mr. Chamberlain. Sir Alfred Milner
and Mr. Cecil Rhodes are the terrible,
diabolical trinity which brooded ovet
and shaped the destiny of South Af
rica during the calamitous perlod.These
gentlemen combined forces so as to
achieve by subtlety and craft and zrAs
representations what Ir. Jameson an;!
the raiders failed to obtain by open vio
lence." The address takes up the various In
ternal questions which contributed to
ward the outbreak of the war, making
wholesale denials of the Engliiih rc pre
mutations. The address declares that
U the Bloemfonteln conference both
President Steyn and President Kruger
'ndeavored to avert the catastrophe by
conceding even more than the original
demands on the franchise queitlon, but
their efforts were fruitless. It Is assert
ed that the war was forced upon the
3oers and that they took up arms in
ielf -defense. The address contends that
the pollr-y of Great Britain was design
idly shaped so as to compel the Boer
.0 send on October 9 what is common
nonly known as their ultimatum to
Clreat Britain. It also says: "The Boers
may be In the end defeated by over
whelming numbers and may ultimately
te forced to surrender, but the conduct
of the present war Justifies us In say
Ing that they will never be conquered.'
The address concludes by saying that
the envoys do not ask the direct or for

but a continuance of public sympathy

In view of this Information a fear Is

MURDER FIFTY IN BARAT0N6A.
Native On A Pacific Island Rise
Against the Whites.
Seattle, Wash. (Special.) One of the
strongest rebel'.lans that have taken
place In the last 100 years is In full
swing In Baratonga, an Inland under
the British flag In the south seas. Ad
vices from the orient say the uprising
has spread over the whole Island. The
natives are advancing on the European
settlements along the coast and are
threatening the capital. It Is a strug
gle between the populace and the aris
tocracy the traders.
The Inhabitants of the island wer
originally brought in touch with civil
ization through the efforts of mission
aries, who set the usual London Sun
day for service. At the lOth degree of
longitude the day jumps back twenty
four hours. Since discovering the eariy
mistake the Christian leaders of the iri.
and have attempted to rectify It. The
move made the natives superstitious
and aroused a sullen resentment. Now
this has changed to active hostilities,
and, thinking that the while people
were deceiving them all along, the na
tives are butchering and murdering on
all tides.
The greatest carnage is being wit
nessed. Over fifty Europeans have been
killed. At the last report they were
fortifying various coast towns and pre
paring for a desperate resistance. All
the business houses snd government
headquarter on the Island have adopt
ed th new Sunday, and are tiding
with the white. An appeal will be
made for assistance from Great Britain,

COL. EU.
MAKES STATEMENT REGARDING
THE PLATFORM.
SILVER AT THE FRONT,
Nr. Eryan Says That the Chicago
PUtform Will Be Adopted By
Kansas City Convention.
Lincoln. X-!. ?;e-ial.) William J.
I ryan has iiken regarding the plat-
; for rn to tie adopted at the kansas City
cutiveMion ami the man R oe named
as his running mite. !! said that in
vie f the fact that nearly all tha
state deifgatlon to the national con
vention had been elected by conventions
hich ri Iterated the principle of the
Chic&iio platform, "It Is safe to assume
that the Kansas City platform will re
aflir mthe Chicago platform, and will
contain nothing which tan' be con
strued as a surrender or modification
of the platform on the old Issues."
He declared that strong and clear
planks awainst irni-1-ia:itiin and tho
trusts will be inserted, and that mili
tarism will be vehemently denounced
aiid sympathy expressed for the Boers.
Further, he would not Fi-ak regarding
the platform.
When questioned regarding the cor
rectness of the reports that a vice pres
idential camli-.late, whoxe views on the
ftnancli.1 questii n will be attractive to
th-. re derm t rats whJ opposed the ticket
;n ISM, Mr. Bryan said that the man
named for the vice presidency will be In
hrmny with the platform. Continu
ing, he said:
"It la hardly probable that delegates
to a national convention would write a
platform and then select for either
(late on a ticket a man who would re
pudiate that platform. No man worthy
to be considered for such an office
would accept a nomination upon a
platform repugnant to his views cm any
Important Issue. In every campaign
men support a ticket without approving
all of the platform, but no one can de
fend a platform unless he believe
In ft."
HEED ROAST McKINLEY FACTION.
Hi I Saying Siroato Thing
About Imperialism.
New Tork. (Special.) Much comment
has been caused among republican
leaders by the attitude assumed by
Former Speaker Thomas B. Heed, who
Is now a resident of this city, toward
the MrKlnley and Roosevelt ticket and
the platform adopted by the Philadel
phia convention.
Not only has Mr. Ret-d refrained from
expressing approval of the action of
the convention, but reports have gained
currency that his (austlc criticisms of
It in conversation with his friends have
had the effect of turning against the
ticket men who otherwise might have
been enthusiastic In its support.
In one Instance, at least, a man who
gave J10.000 to the republican campaign
fund four years ago, has told his
friends that he will give nothing this
year, attributing his change of heart
to Mr. Reed's Influence.
Mr. Reed's wit and biting sarcasm be
came famous while he occupied the
speaker's chair, and the McKinley re
publicans who are now finding fault
with him assert that he is turning these
powers In private with chilling effect
upon the administration enthusiasts.
When these reports were brought to
Mr. Reed's attention he declined to
make any comment upon them except
to say that no person had the right
to attribute to him any opinions upon
political matteia which had not re
ceived the definite sanction of bis au
thority. When he had any statement
to make public, he said, he would pre
pare It in his own way and In his own
language.
That Mr. Reed Is no more In sympa
thy now with the expansionist policy
of the administration than he was dur
ing his last term as speaker Is a mat
ter of common gossip in the financial
district, where he has an office, and
among politicians. It is the opinion of
the supporters of this policy, however,
that he should follow the example of
Senator Hoar, who holds similar views,
and declares his allegiance to the tick
et. They take the ground that the hon
ors bestowed upon Mr. Reed by his par
ty entitle It to such support at he can
give.
Mr. Reed, on the contrary, takes the
position that he has retired from poli
tics, and that he has the tame right
that any other private citizen has to ex
cject his opinions without giving rise
to adverse comment. He shrinks from
being drawn Into political controversy,
preferring to devote himself to the
practice of law.
It has never been his custom, how
ever, to conceal his opinions. He did
ifot do so during hit late term as
speaker, and there it less reason, hit
frlendt aay, for him to do so now that
be la out of office. It It possible that
Mr. Reed may decide to make some
formal statement of hit vlewt on the
Issues of the campaign, though he did
not Indicate that he had any present
Intention of doing so.

Hold Up Burlington Treln In Je
Jams Style,
Omaha, Ueb. (Ppecial.) After sever
il weeks' vachtton. the lone train reib
Uer has resumed business. He held up
Pullman car on the Burlington's 1111
ngs train, hlch leaves Omaha at 910
p. m.. shortly after midnight between
Vork and liradshaw, and was the win
der by two wat hes and 170 in cosh.
It Is Mppoed that the mysterious
mfiske-d gentleman took the train at
Vork. At all events, he made himself
onicuuou immediately thereafter
by prese tiling the business end of a
large, he-althy looking revolver to tha
Pullman conductor. This tip was suffi
cient to nuike the conductor trot ahead
ike a I'ttle man and wake up the pas-
engrrs one by one, and lid them to
cheerfflly contribute to the festive
stranger.
The l.jiie robber, reinforced by the pis
tol, was proceeding swimmingly In his
work of raiting revenue when the train
I ulled Into HrailKhaw, where he evl
lently became frightened. Ruhlng out
side, he puiied the air and the train
.uine to a sudlcn slop. Although the
train does not stop regularly at Brad
ihaw, this was an exceptional case,
jnd it stopK-d. The'4lnne robber did
not stop, however, but kept going o
rapid'y that he was oul of sight before
an Investigation could be started by
the trainmen. In fact, he hopped from
the train Into the darknecs before tht
train Itself had i-eased motion.
The description of the lone robber If
that he Is "thickset, and wears a light
jult of clothing." As an extra induce
nenf to detectives to find a man with
:he-e dlMingult'hlng marks, the Bur
iington r!iers a reward of J00.
At Burlington headquarters here, tht
fetalis of the hold-up had not been re
reiv.d. but the more cheering in forma
'.Ion had arrived that It was believed
by detectives In pursuit that they were
jn the right trail of the much wanted
nan, and would soon have him cap
ured. BLOODHOUNDS ON THE TRAIL.
Lincoln, Neb. (f-'peclal.) At Burling
ton division he-adquarters it was said
that no tangible clue had yet been ob
tained of the Identity of the men who
held up the 8t. Louis-Portland through
?xpreM near Bradshaw. A reward oi
!50 for arrest and conviction has been
vffered by the Burlington.
Many sieutlis are working on the case,
among them being Jim Malone, the
Burlington detective, with his blood
ounds. Officials bcileve, from Information re
ceived from P.radshaw, that there were
two men Implicated In the hold-up. Or.
went through the train, white the other
waited with a team. After the robbery
.he men are believed to have driven
south.
