BOLD RAID OP BOERS.
Twenty Miles of Railroad Between Rood
fvitl and America Siding Cat.
LONDON, June 11.—3:30 a. m.—^he
Boers have torn up twenty-one miles
of I/ord Roberts’ vital line of rail
way between America Siding and
Roodeval. Is is a bold raid and vex
atious, but it does not disquiet the
military authorities as yet, for they
expect General Kelly-Kenny to drive
off the marauders and to reopen the
line.
The rapidity of the advance of Ixird
Roberts cannot have permitted him to
accumulate large reserves of stores.
Therefore an interruption of the rail
way for a week must embarrass the
army and may bring the forward
operations to a standstill.
Nothing has been heard from Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on
the railway, the strenuous opposition
to General Rundel and the escape of
General Botha's division have forced
the War office authorities to the con
clusion that the war is not yet over,
though even the occasional civilian
Boer sympathizer can not see how the
Boers will be able to do anything to
change the result.
General Buller is in Boer territory.
The dispatches of correspondents with
him at Sunset, near Koomatiport, de
scribe the corps on the frontier of the
Free State.
"The British marched eight miles
yesterday,” says the Reuter corre
spondent. "before encountering any op
position. The Boers, who had one
gun, withdrew under heavy ordnance
fire to a ridge just ahead of the camp.”
The long range running skirmish
will doubtless be renewed this morn
ing. General Buller is expected to
make rapid progress now and to throw
the weight of 20,000 men into Ixird
Roberts' Transvaal combination.

MANILA. May 11.—The great store
of insurgent documents discovered by
General Funston, together with some
interesting papers which Captain
Smith found in the possession of Gen
eral Pantaleon Garcia, throw interest
ing side lights upon the Filipino 'gov
ernment. Most important of the lot
is Aguinaldos plan for the uprising in
Manila, which was drawn by him at
Malolos. It is in his own handwriting
in the Tagalog language and bears the
date of Junuary 9. 1899. Finned to the
document was a translation into Span
ish done by the hand of Bueneamino.
Aguinaldos order was addressed to
his "valiant sandallhans," or boiomen.
When the word of the uprising was
given they were to slay all American
soldiers in Manila. The insurgents
were to repair to housetops, whence
they were to hurl down upon tne sol
diers heavy furniture and any iron im
plements they might have heated red
hot. They were also to have ready In
their houses hot water, which was to
he thrown upon passing soldiers or
squirted at them from bamboo
syringes. The women and children
were exhorted to help in preparing the
water and boiling oil, which they were
to pass out to the men for use. After
wards the boiomen were to run
through the streets slashing Ameri
cans wherever they met them.
Settlement In Sight.
CHICAGO, 111., June *1.—Arrange
ments have been completed for a joint
conference between a committee from
th<* building contractors’ council and
representatives of every hjuiluing and
material trades union in Chicago now
on strike, and a formal call for the
meeting was issued to be neid tomor
row. This will bring together for the
first time since the strike was called
several months ago the contractors and
their former employes, no business
agents being allowed to represent any
of the unions, and both sides are now
confident that a settlement of the
strike, which has involved f»0,OOJ men
and resulted in a practical suspension
of building operations in Chicago, is
at last in sight.

No Navy for

has brought before Governor General
Wood the plan which originated last
year for forming a Gubar* navy, to be
composed at tne outset of sixty vessels,
having in view for the present the pro
tection of Cuban fisheries and the pre
vention of smuggling. I*ast year the
entire plan was rejected as unneces
sary. it being felt that twehe small
revenue cutters would be adequate and
that these could be maintained much
cheaper in connection with th° cus
toms department. General Wood takes
the same view and the Cuban navy
will therefore probably remain In
abeyance until Cuba Is independent.

Conflicting Reports as to Engagements of
Troops and Boxers.
TIEN TSIN PREPARING EOR DEEENSE
General Nlerh Acting With Energy and
Giving Rebel! Hard Blows — Mission
aries Horribly Mutilated — Appeals
Made to President for Help by Ameri
can Conference.
LONDON, June 9.—Definite returns
regarding the severe fighting between
the Chinese troops and the Boxers
which was going on Thursday between
Tien Tsin and Pekin had not been re
ceived at Tien Tsin when the latest
telegrams to reach London were filed.
The Chinese troops, however, had
killed many Boxers, according to some
reports, while another account had
the government soldiery defeated in an
engagement near Pao Ting Fu.
Apparently the legation guards have
not yet taken a hand in the fighting,
but they are ready to do so at a mo
ment s notice. The Boxers movement
affects some hundreds of square miles.
Official dispatches to Vienna from Pe
kin aver that the sect is more powerful
than any political party in Chinu, em
bracing no less than 4,000,000, and
manipulated by zealous and adroit
leaders.
The powers are acting in entire con
cert, which at present gives the Chi
nese government plenty of chance to
put down the disturbances alone. The
Tien Tsin correspondent of the Daily
Mail, telegraphing June 7. says:
“For the last three nays the whole
community of '1 ien Tsin has been pre
paring to defend itself against an ex
pected attack by the Boxers. There is
a con tin ua* influx of refugees from the
surrounding country who are now
crowding the city. This increases the
excitement. Nearly all the villages
surrounding the Tien Tsin are Joining
the Bovrs' movement, which is tak
ing more and more a fanatical nature.
"Passengers when approaching the
village are driven back by armed
bands. Yesterday the Chinese troops
were ordered to Machaang, on the
Grand canal, within twenty miles of
which a large body of Boxers is re
ported to be collecting. Attempts to
re-establish the regular working of the
Pekin-Tien Tsin railway have uitherto
proved futile. Every night the Boxers
set fire to the sleepers and the wood
work of the bridges.
"General Niech seems bent on acting
with energy and dealing out heavy
blows to the rebels, recognizing the
necessity of destroying the piestige of
the Boxers, which has begun to de
moralize his army.”
Secret orders from Pekin state tne
protector of the rebels has paralyzed
military action and raised the status
of the Boxers in the eyes of ine ignor
ant masses. Although the Boxers de
clare their first object to be the anni
hilation of Catholic converts, the wire
pullers evidently wish to propagate
hatred among the country people
against foreigners and things foreign
in general. The movement on the sur
face has a patriotic character, but u
may turn ultimately against the dy
nasty. This seems to be the reason
why it has thus far been treated wfih
a gentle hand.
The legations at Pekin ha^e wired
for reinforcements.

LONDON, June 9—The war office
has received the following dispatch
from General Buller:
“Yellow Boom Farm, June 8.—On
June 6 General Talbot Coke, with the
Tenth brigade and the South African
Light Horse, seized Van Wyae hill.
The enemy made some resistance, and
a good deal of sniping occurred. Our
casualties were about four killed and
thirteen wounded.
“During that day and the following
we got two 6.7 and two twelve-pound
ers naval guns onto Van Wyke hill
and two five-inch guns on the South
eastern corner of Inkewelo. Under
1 cover of their fire General Haldeyard’s
army routed all the Boers of the berg
between Botha’s Pass and Inkewelo.
"The attack was well planned by
Hildeyard and carried out with im
mense dash by the troops, for whom
no mountains were too steep, outflank
ing the enemy, who were forced to re
tire from their very strong position.
"I think we did not have any cas
ualties, and hope I have obtained a
position from which I can render
Laing’s Nek untenable."

ST. LOUIS, Mo.. June 9.—A mob of
furious women and boys beat and de

who makes her living by peddling
lunches among employes of the Cali
fornia avenue street car line. When
the mob had stripped her to the waist
one woman daubed her with green
paint, while two others held her, the
jeering boys and women of the mob
applauding the outrage and throwing
mud.
Two shop girls were attacked by the
same mob an hour later and they also
were partly denuded before they es
caped.
An organized “committee’ of women
began to visit the public schools this
afternoon, entering the school rooms,
accusing the teachers of riding on the
tabooed cars and threatening them
with bodily harm If they did so again.
At the Mount Pleasant school the lead
er of this committee seized the prin
cipal, Mrs. Rose Fanning, shook her
violently and said that she would be
tarred and feathered if either she or
any of her teachers rode on the cars
again.

WASHINGTON. D. C., June 9 —
Newspaper reports just received at the

master Sergeant Albert Votrie. com
pany K. Thirty-ninth volunteer infan
try. a~T the Barrio of Bagzag. near Ta
nuan, in the province of Batanga. Feb
ruary 2. and were sentenced to death
by hanging.
In passing upon the case. General
Otis, as the final reviewing authority,
said that the findings from the com
mission were fully sustained by the ev
idence and that the death sentence im
posed by it had the express sanction
of the laws of war. He was. however,
unwilling to direct the execution of
the sentence, as he believed that the
accused were influenced to commit the
crime of which they were convicted by
local guerrilla chiefs, who, he said,
were the principal criminals in the af
fair. Moreover, he said the prisoners
were ignorant of the legal consequences
of their act. The sentence was com
mutted in each case to ten years' im
prisonment at hard labor in the Pre
sidio de Manila.
Interest In the Prisoner*.
LONDON, June 9.—The driblets of
news filtering from the Transvaal fail
to throw- much light on the situation
in and around Pretoria.
Public interest centers largely in the
fate of the British prisoners, but it
seems probable that about 3.500 have
been recovered, including 129 officers.
The federals therefore have removed
about 1.005 as hostages.
The Ixirenzo Marquez dispatch to the
effect that United States Consul Hollis
Iihs been conferring with President
Kruger is creating some comment, but
in view of the Washington ttispatch
which asserts that Mr. Hollis has no
official errand to the Transvaal there
Is little disposition to regard h;s move
ments as at all significant.

GOLDEN HARVEST HAS BEGIN.
500.000 rmom \ i»Ited Paris Exposition
Darius Ih* Last Week.
PARIS. June 11.—The golden harvest
cf the exposition has at last begun.
Twice this week the number of visitors
exceeded half a million, which sur
passes the figures of the I8S9 exposi
tion at a similar period, it is esti
mated that over 8.000.000 persons have
new passed the turnstiles. The great
est difficulty is now experiencec. in get
ting from the grounds at night, the
street cars and omnibus facilities being
utterly inadequate to cope with the im
mense crowds, and the cabmen are
having high times, demanding and get
ting fancy prices for short trips home.
It is nothing unusual for them to ask
$2 for a trip for which the legai fare
is 30 cents. •
The electrical arrangements at the
Chateau D'Eau have been repaired and
the illuminations during the evening
are now very brilliant and effective.
The American pavilion was closed for
four days this week for the improve
ment of its internal decoration. A
large piece of statuary representing
three wild bronchos forms a very
striking centerpiece, and about it are
palms and flowers and a circular sofa.
The walls have been repainted a softer
color, relieving the former glare of
white, and a number of paintings have
been hung. Further improvements are
contemplatea.
