LOSE HOPE. OFFICIALS FEAR SAFETY OF THE FOREIGNERS IN PEKIN. PREPARING FOR WAR. Number of Allied Forces Now On Chinese boll Is Estimated At 28.000 Men. Washington, D. C. July 30. War be tween China and the powers is re garded here now as a posMble outcome of the present situation. This govern ment, while continuing to maintain the theory that the Imperial government is In no way Implicated in the anil foreign uprisings In China, in reared at any moment to abandon thin position and regard the Chinese empire as an enemy. The state department contin ues to receive Minister Wu as the ac credited representative of a friendly power and to receive his communica tions as genuine and entitled to rerpect. At the same time the army and navy arc prepared to act with the forces of the other powers against all opposi tion in China, whether from HoxeTs and Insurgents or from the army of the Chinese emperor. 1 CABINET MEETING IS HELD. Secretary Hay, who returned from his conference with the president in Canton yesterday, called a conference of the cabinet at the Male department this morning. In this conference the whole situation was gone over In the light of dispatches received from Con sul General Goodnow and Rear Admiral Hemey, Air. Goodnow's dispatches gave the result of the conference ht had with LI Hung Chang at the direc tion of the state department. Thcw dispatches were not made public, but It Is understood they are decidedly pes simistic In tone and gave little ground for hope that the foreigners in I'ekln could be rescued or that the Chines government could be depended uim to aid In the protection of foreigners and In the restoration of order. ALLIED TROOPS NUM BE It 28,000. The two cablegrams received from Admiral Itemey bearing upon the pro posed advance on I'ekln were discussed In the conference. In a dispatch re ceived yesterday Admiral Itemey said that on Monday there were only 2X.0O0 troops at i'ekln. He said the com nianders had agreed that on the ar rival of General Chaffee there should be a meeting of all the senior com manders and that a vote should be taken on the selection of the supreme commander of the international forces this vote to be final. The other dispatch from Admiral Itemey received today presented th situation In an entirely dirR-rcnl aw pect. He said news hud been received at Taku that the Chinese were hurry ing heavy reinforcements to I'ekln and that the comanders at Tien Tsin were Agreed thsl an Imcdlate advance otild now mean defeat and delay, for rein forcements would lie necessary. The conclusion of the conference was that the question of when the advance snould be left to the Judgment of the comanders In the field. WILL AWAIT CHAFFEE'S RKPoHT. Secretary of War Hoot, after Hit conference, said; "This government does not favor urging an advance Irrespective of the opinion of the commander. The time for aggressive action should be left to these officers, who are In a position to have superior knowledge as to the situation with which they are con fronted. To adipt a different course might be equivalent to sending our men to certain and hopeless death. We will wait for a report from General Chaf fee." , The position of this government on the question of the selection of a com mander In chief was clearly stated this evening by a member of the cabinet. It Is expected troops of the United Hint'' wilt act under the command of any officer selected by the senior officers of the International forces a best quali fied to comand. The American forces must art ax a unit, however, and nil communications from the commander In chief and the American commander must pass through the American rank ing officer. This government Is not entitled by the size of Its force noi ly the rank of Its commander to In Mlst upon the selection of Major Gen et ul Chaffee for the supreme command as matter of right. . - KTHIKE MAY INVOLVE in.Ono.

The emperor's speech at Brernerhaven, on the occasion of the sailing; of German tioops today for China, as was expected was sensational. The Loka! Anzelger says the emperor told the troops they were to avenge an outrage committed against the sanctity of ambassadors and an unprecedented breach of the right of hospitality. "If you close with the enemy," said the emperor, "you know no quar ter will be given and no prisoners taken. L'se your weapons so that for 1,000 years no Chinaman will dare beard a German. Pave the way for civilization now and evermore. "My wishes for yourselves and for the success of your arms will ever fol low you. Give proofs of your courage, no matter where. May the blessing of God rest on your banners and may He vouchsafe to you to find a path for Christianity in that far-off country. For this you have pledged yourself to me with your outh to the colors. CHINESE TO UK TAUGHT A LES SON. "Every German has been filled with pride to learn that the highest praise bestowed upon German warriors has come from the mouths of foreign lead ers. The task before you Is a great one. That a people like the Chinese should cast to the winds International rlghta 1,000 years old and treat with scorn the sanctity of an ambassador and the rights of hospitality In a man ner so horrible Is unprecedented In the history of the world. Every civiliza tion not founded on Christianity Is sure to be brought to naught. So I send you out. May you all prove your Ger man cfllclcncy, demotion and bravery, bear Joyfully all discomfort and up hold the honor and glory of our arms. You must set an example of discipline, self-domination and self-control." SIR CLAUD MACDONALO'S LETTER. Message of July 6 Says the Chinese Fight. But Are Cowards. London, July 30. The Dally Mall has a dispatch dated Shanghai, July 27, which says a letter has Just been re ceived there from Sir Claude MacDon ald, dated I'ekln, July 6. The letter follows: "We are receiving no assistance from the authorities. Three legations are still standing, Including the British. We also hold part of the city walls. The Chinese are shelling us from the city with a three-Inch gun and some smaller ones, and are sniping us. We may be annihilated any day. Our ammunition and food are short. MAY HOLD OCT TWO WEEKS. "We would have perished by this lime only the Chinese are cowards and have no organized plan of attack. If we are not pressed we may hold out a fortnight longer; otherwise four days at the utmost.

"The louses of the foreigners In I'ekln up to July 6 were forty killed und eighty wounded." KKPOllTS TV AN KILLED BY HOX F.Kri.

PHILIPPINES OFFICER IN THE ISLAMDS PIC TURES SITUATION. TRUTH OF SITUATION. At Present Rate Our Boys All Be Slain Before the Filipinos Can Be Conquered, ' Omaha, Neb., July 31. Interesting In formation as to actual conditions In the Philippines Is contained in a letter Just received by a well known citizen of Omaha, from a major and quarter master In the United States army, now stationed In Manila. For obvious rea sons the names of this army officer and of the person with whom he Is corre sponding are withheld. It Is sufficient to say that the officer Is well known here, having formerly resided here. The letter bears date of June 20, 1900. The portion relating to" the general situation there is as follows: "I have been In the city of Manila ever since my arrival In the Philip pines, and have been kept pretty busy supplying the troops who are spread out all over the Islands. "Reports show that fighting Is going on Just the same, but the engagements tire not heavy. Still, we lose a few men every day and the rebels are not whipped yet. They will likely hold out for a long time yet, and as the volun teers are to begin going home In the fall, I would not be surprised if we have this thing to do all over again, a many towns' will have to be aban doned, and as soon aft they are, the rebels will take possession and make it net for the loyal Filiplnoc. . "We now occupy over 4n0 stations, which are constantly menaced by the enemy, except the ports of Mindanao, and to put down the insurrection they will have to be occupied for years. "It is a big Job for the United States, and unless the commission can make lorne peaceful arrangement with the leaders the trouble will continue Indefi nitely. "At present our men are being slowly murdered, a few being killed every day at one point or another, with two or three officers each week, and with 60,000 against 10,000.000, though we kill ten to one, It would only be a question of time when our boys would all be killed off, not to speak of the many dying of dis ease and exposure. RECORD OF ONE WEEK'S WORK. The Americans Kill or Capture Two Hundred Filipinos, Manila. July 30. Reports of military operations for the past week show that 200 Filipinos have been killed and sixty, two captured. Among the prisoners were eight offi cers. Fifty-six rifles were confiscated. In the same time the Americans had ten killed and fourteen wounded. The campaign during the last seven days has developed several stubborn fights, chiefly In the mountains. Early in the week Colonel Edward Goodwin of company I, Fortieth Vol unteer Infantry, convoyed by the gun boat Callao, occupied Oroqulta In Min danao without resistance. All the in habitants deserted the town, but on the second day of the American occupation SOO rebels, mostly from Bolomen, made a savage attack on the small garrison. They were finally repulsed after losing eighty-nine killed Inside the town. The American loss was two killed and three wounded. Wednesday, Major Wheeler, following the trail of the rebel gen eral, Tecson, overtook 300 Insurgents. BRIN6IK6 HOME THE BODIES. Number of Those Wns Have Died In the Philippines.

Latter Refuse To Make Low Rate For the Notification. Indianapolis, Ind., July 31. Chairman Martin of the democratic state commit tee, has announced that unless the rail roads make better rates rates that will enable the people to come to the city at a small expense he may declare off the demonstration which is set for August 8, when Bryan and Stevenson are to be officially notified of their nomination for the presidency and vice presidency by the national democratic convention. In fact Chairman Martin says Mr. Bryan may not come to Indianapolis at all, and the entire notlflction cere monies may be altered. When he made the statement Chair man Martin was pretty mad. He said: "It doesn't look, right now, as if Mr. Bryan would be here. It doesn't look as If the notification would be held here at all." "Do you mean that Mr. Bryan can not come?"- "I mean that unless the railroads give us terms that are Just I will call this notification meeting off and not let It be held In the state of Indiana. The railroads hove held the democratic com mittees up for years, and they are at the game old game. But I promise that unless better terms are made than those offered this notification will be declared off." The statement of Chairman Martin that the notification might be declared off came because of the terms offered by the Central Traffic association. The rate offered, Mr. Martin says, was one fare for the round trip, within a radius of seventy-five miles of Indianapolis, the tickets to be placed on sale the morning of August 8, and good return ing on that day only. CANNOT ACHIEVE DEFINITE RESULTS. Boers Continue To Wage Fierce Warfare. London, July 30. (Copyrighted.) The situation in South Africa was some what, cleared up by Roberts' dispatch of yesterday. He Ih moving east with his customary rapidity and has scat tered the Bolesa forces before him, but has been unable to come Into actl in, while the mention of the mens' suffer ings from exposure and the great mor tality of the transport animals, which Is likely to Increase In geometrical pro gression in proportion to the length and speed of the march, gives rise to fears that Roberts on that account will be unable to push the pursuit to a definite result. Meanwhile the Boers have destroyed the railway between Bronkhorst Spruit and Balmoral, and it is reported that the commandoes have b?en ordered to attack only the small parties in the Orange River state. De Wet, with a larger force than was originally supposed, though strongly posted near Rltzvllle, Is said to be leady to surrender. One press agency says that he has already offered to surrender on certain terms, but that Roberts Insisted that the surrender should be unconditional. De Wet, how ever, though often "routed" by Methuen and surrounded by numerous generals "forces, has shown such skill In evading every one that until he la actually trapped or surrenders little faith is put In prophesies. Everything points to the continua tion of considerable guerilla warfare. BLACK TERROR IN BURHUDA. Negro Soldiers of England Cause a Reign of Terror. Hamilton, Bermuda, July 30. Much uneasiness is prevailing throughout the Bermuda islands owing" to the hostility toward the Inhabitants displayed by the black soldiers of the First West India regiment. During the last week three unprovoked assaults on peaceful citi zens have been made. On Wednesday evening I-awyer Jackson and his wife were quietly traveling along the road from Prospect Camp to town, when they were attacked by two soldiers, who struck and stunned Jackson's wife. Their cries attracted the attention of the military police and the soldiers ran away. Half an hour later, at almost the same spot, another couple were at tacked nnd rescued by the policemen, who were returning aftr having ac companied Mrs. Jackson to her home. The third case was that of a woman who was assaulter by four soldiers. The behavior ,of the regiment has be'-n discreditable ever since Its arrival here. The men have entered shops and or dered nnd obtained goods and have re filled to pay for them, have walked Into private. residences and Intruded on social gatherings, using abusive lan guage when ren.o.istrated Willi.

CALEB POWER'S TRIAL Prosecution Shows His Connection With the Murder of Covernor Coebei of Kentucky, Georgetown, Ky., July 30. The prose, tution In the case of Caleb Powers charged with being an accessory to the murder of Goebel, dosed Its case today. The defendant will take the stand Mon- lay and testify In his own beha'f. Three weeks have been consumed in the oreliminaries attending the selection of the Jury and hearing the evidence that has been presented by the prosecution. The prosecution, through T. C. Camp bell, gave out the following statement tonight, after resting its case : "It is proven that the shot came from the office of the defendant, Caleb Powers. " u at, by direct testimony of two witnesses, who saw the rifle when fired, and by eight others, who located the place of firing by the sound. "Again, by the following facts: The window sill from which the bullet was fired is thirteen feet nine inches higher than the point where It struck into the tree, distance 197 feet. The descent of the bullet was such that it would cross the spot where Goebel fell, thirty-three ind a quarter inches above the pave ment. The autopsy found the point of entrance in Goebel's breast fifty-two and one-fourth Inches from the soles it his feet. Add the elevation gained by the position in the tree, you get fifty-six Inches. "Third, the cartridge was a rnetal Jacketed, loose, steel, smokeless cart ridge, a kind not used by the militia of Kentucky. This fact Is established: (a) The defendant Powers asked Robert Noakes to get him steel cartridges in December; (b) Youtsey, who had the keys to Powers' office, did procure from a gun store such cartridges (so-called 38-ii6) on the 23d of January, 1900; (c) the bullet Bred from the office of the secretary of state, and found imbedded In the tree, is a metal-Jacketed bullet, 48-55; (d) the side of the opening of the wounds of entrance and exit were the same, namely, three-eighths of an inch (38-eallber). Had a leaden bullet been used the wound of exit would have been larger; (e) that the cartridge used was smokeless Is evidenced by the fact that the many witnesses looking at the point from which the rifle was fired saw no smoke. Youtsey, a clerk and sten- jgrapher, pointed out to W. H. Culton, ho was Taylor's confidential man, that the slickest plan for killing Geo Del that he could think of was to raise ;he window In the secretary of state's jflice, lower the blind, point the rifle ind fire.' This was the exact plan followed In killing Goebel. "Youtsey had the key to Powers' jffice, given to him by Powers' brother m the day before Goebel was shot. "Powers' letters to his lady friends ind others,. In which he declared that the disorganized condition of the dem jcratic party after the shooting, but before the death of Goebel was due nore to him than to anyone else shows that for a time he believed he had earned the plaudits which had been riven to a hero, and that the killing of 3oebel was really as meritorious .s the abal had taught themselves and oth rs to believe it would be. "The testimony of W. H. Culton, as ilstant auditor of state, that Powers, i few days before the shooting of Goe jel, quarreled with Taylor and was iolng to send home the mountain men s pregnant. His description of the tuarrel, the efCprts he made to bring the two men together, the fact that Powers damned Taylor as a fellow without any backbone, and the damn ing of Powers by Taylor as a hot .leaded fool, Is a circumstance taken In .onnectlon with other matters testified '.o by Culton, which establishes a con spiracy beyond doubt. To overcome It Julion's testimony must be destroyed. "The testimony of Noakes, who for welve years was the friend and com panion of Flnlcy and Powers, his de claration that Powers desired desperate ,nen from his compiny to be retained for the purpose of murder, his further (tatemetitu that Powers declared the ont jst would end us quickly as Goebel vas killed, means the conviction of . 'Otters. unless Poweis can break N'oakes' down. "The testimony of Wharton Golden, the companion of Powers, his able adju tant In all of the'mancuvers to bring th nnuntain army, his confidant In his onely walks tf the cemetery, the mnn he took with him to Louisville, the man lo whom he confessed that he would. go to Franklin and Polrgrove. the stnte and county officials, 'nil proves the guilt of Powers. To escape, Powrs must de stroy Gulden's testimony. "The testimony of Keprescntatlve Hampton of Knox county shows the murderous tropenslty of Taylor, Pow ers" chief, when Taylor asked him (Hampton) to go to the legislature, bring on a fight and kill enough of his opponents to give him security, Is of so startling a nature that one might not believe It were possible If not for the fact that no man In eastern Ken tucky has better established a reputa tion for strict honesty and truth than has Luke Hampton. All tha Powers, Flnleys and Taylors who can be found In Kentucky, found together, canaet brtaa down Lukt Hamptoe." ratkisse a::ejto a tn Director Must Answer Per cwvaut Postal Frauds. Havana, July 30. Mr. Estes C. Ketkw bone, recently director general of poets In Cuba was arrested at 11 o'clock oa four charges. They allege the unlaw ful drawing of two orders for $590 each, paying his private coachman and gar dener from the postal funds, and draw ing per diem allowance when not en titled to do so. Mr. Uathbone was held in bonds of $25,000. Estes G. Rathbone remained In the court room all day awaiting the decision of the Judge in the matter of the ac ceptance of Francisco Gamba. am of the richest Spanish merchants of Ha vana, as bondsman for 125,000. Rath bone was obliged to go to the guard hou.se tonight because the Judge ruled, that Gamba could not go on the bond without the consent of his business partner. Rathbone's lawyer brought Senor Gamba to the court room at noon and after two hours' argument, the Judge said that he was willing to ac cept Gamba as bondsman if the mili tary authorities were satisfied. When Captain Scott was appealed to he sent three aides to report on Gam ba's financial standing. All reported favorably and sent word to the judge that the military authorities were sat isfied as to the financial qualifications of the bondsman, and advised accept ing, providing- no other impediment should be found. After consulting the law firm that is representing- the gov ernment In the case, the judge ruled adversely and Rathbone was taken to the guard house. Four charges were.., filed. One of the claims was that Ratlg bone paid his coachman, footman audi gardener from the postal funds. Another charge was that of taking $5 per day without authority. Other charges, Involving $2,500, each allege that ho drew warrants for his own personal use, and that no vouchers were furnished. Mr. Rathbone's lavw yera say the bond is unreasonable, as the total amount ot the fraud alleged is not over $4,000. They Insist that he will be released and proved innocent of all charges. It is also claimed that the two warrants which figured were not cashed by Rathbone and that they were part of the defalcations charged, to Neely. They also assert that the per diem allowance arrangement baa never been officially discontinued, and that nothing criminal can be attributed to Rathbone on any cf the charges. PLANS TO BUY TWO ISLAI3S. Uncle Sam To Buy More Territory of the Spaniards. Madrid, July 30. The cabinet is con sidering the proposition of the United States for the cession of the islands of Cibitu and Cagayen In consideration of $100,000. The ministry regards the proposition favorably and negotiation for a treaty of accord between the two governments are proceeding rapidly. Washington, D. C, July 30. Arrange ments have practically been completed, for the purchase from Spain of the is lands of Cibitu and Cagayen, which were left in Spanish possession by the treaty of Paris Although they are a part of the Philippine archipelago, they were not Included In the treaty through the adoption of specific boundary lines. ' rather than describing the Islands in a lump as the archipelago. The over sight was not discovered until a year later. The two Islands are Insignificant in area and thinly populated, probably containing from 6.000 to 8,000 people in all. Both the Islands are said to be mainly valuable for their pearl and shell fisheries. ATTITUDE OF ROME ON CUBA. Vatican Refuser To Support On slaught of the Powers. London, July 30. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The attitude of the Vatican organ. Voce Delia Verlta, on the Chinese question excites violent indignation here.
