Washington, May 28. In the course of a speech in favor of the adoption of a resolution expressing the Senate's sympathy for the Boers to-day, Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, referred to a secret understanding existing between ths United States and Great Britain. When Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, demanded proof that such an under standing existed, Mr, Wellington said that, in the circumstances, it was diffi cult to present tangible proof, but he believed the proof could be found in the secret archives of the State Depart ment. Mr. Lodge replied that under our form of government no such under standing could exist, and as the Sec retary of State had emphatically de nied the existence of any alliance or understanding, he believed the country would accept the statement as true. The reading of the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was completed, but not all of the committee amendments have been disposed of. A lively debate was precipitated over the proposition to continue the life of the Industrial Commission until October 31, 1901. Charges were made that the commis sion was being used as a Republi can campaign machine, and that im portant testimony had been suppressed. The committee amendment, however, was agreed to. Mr. Hale presented a partial report of the conference report on the Naval Appropriation bill, the armor plate question, the course of instruction of cadets at Annapolis and insular coast surveys yet being in dispute. Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, in quired what had been done about the proposition to authorize the Secretary of the Navy, if he deemed it advisable, to move the Port Royal naval station to Charleston. Mr. Hale replied that it had been agreed to by the conferrees. Mr. Butler objected to the report, In sisting that the question of location ought to be left open, with a view to securing the best harbor on the South ern coast for the station. He main tained that Wilmington was a better harbor than Charleston. Mr. Clay, of Georgia, urged, too, that the question be left open, in order that Savannah's claims might be consid ered. After some debate Mr. Hale's motion that the conference report be agreed to was carried 35 to 11. THE HOUSE. Washington, May 28. This was a dull day in the House, considering the near approach of the final adjourn ment. The Alaskan Civil Government bill was completed and passed, and some odds and ends of legislation were cleaned up. Mr. Dalzell gave notice that the anti-trust resolution and bill reported by the Judiciary Committee would be considered Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week un der a special order. The House held an evening session, devoted to consideration of the District of Columbia Code bill. THE NEWARK AT TAKU. Washington. May 28. A cablegram received at the Navy Department to day stated that the Newark has been assigned to act as flagship of the senior squadron commander, and that the ves nel sailed from Nagasaki last Saturday and arrived at the Taku forts yester day. Rear-Admiral Kempff is the senior pquadron officer described in the dis patch, and his visit to Taku, the near est point to Pekin attainable for large vessels, has attracted much attention. It is understood that there is already a formidable lleet of European warships igathered at Taku, and since the with drawal of the Wheeling, the American tfleet has been unrepresented at that port. While prepared to act concur rently with, though independently of, the European powers in the protection iof the life and property of foreigners in China, Admiral Kempff has not at present any intention of making a hos tile demonstration in the Pei-Ho river. A SUCCESSFUL CRUISE. Washington, May 28. Assistant Sec retary Hackett is informed that the cruiser Prairie arrived at Brunswick yesterday after a week's successful cruise with the Georgia naval militia. According to the original plan, the prairie was next to have gone to Wil mington. N. C, to take the naval mili tia of that State out on a week's prac tice at sea. but this purpose has been abandoned because of the notification from the North Carolina militia that they have not been able to get a suffi cient number of men together for the iflrill, and consequently do not care to make the cruise. The naval militia of Virginia, which was the next organiza tion to drill according to the original schedule, also has withdrawn its ac ceptance of the department's offer. The consequence of these withdrawals is that a month's time is lost in tht sea son's programme and there will be no practice cruises from now until Juno 22d next, when the Pennsylvania naval militia will embark on the Prairie at Philadelphia. HELD UP BY A LONE BANDIT. Falls City. Neb., May 28. The pas sengers on the sleeping car of train No. 1 of the Missouri Pacific, which left Kansas City last night at 8:25, were held up and robbed early to-day be tween here and Stella by a lone bandit. After the train left Verdon he entered the sleeper and compelled the porter at the point of a revolver to aid him. He had only fifteen minutes to work and Jumped off at Stella without hav ing secured much plunder.

BOBE HORRIBLE ATROCITIES COM KITTED BT THE "BOXEBS." Places of Basluess tilled Wltb Talasble Herebandlss Looted and Burned- American, British, Japan ese, German, Italian, Busslan and Freneb Troops to Land In Pekln. Pekin, May 29. From all parts of the surrounding country news is constantly arriving of fresh atrocities committed by the 'Boxers." Three Christian families were massacred at Shan Lai Ying, sixty miles from Pekin, Friday, May 25th. Only two escaped. A representative of the Associated Press visited Fang Tai this morning and found the place occupied by a battalion of troops. The whole railroad station, workshops and locomotive sheds were gutted and much rolling stock was destroyed, including the Im perial palace car. Large warehouses full of valuable merchandise, were burned after having been looted by the rioters. The damage done is estimsted at half a million taels. The neighboring villagers seem to have Joined :n the attack, showing that the movement is not confined to the "Boxers." Eight rioters who were captured will be decapitated. Riding through the south gate of Pekin the correspondent found the road inside the walls lined with troops, who greeted the traveler and his party with a fusilade of stones. The whole coun try is much excited. Shanghai, May 30. The British war ships Orlando and Algerlne are land ing 100 men at Taku, where the French, Russian and Japanese guards have al ready disembarked. The "Boxers" are apparently without arms, except those they have obtained from the soldiery, many of whom are openly joining the rebels. Tien Tsin, May 30. American Brit ish, Japanese, German, Italian, Russian and French troops to the number of 100 each have been ordered to guard their respec tive legations at Pekin, but the Viceroy here will not allow them to proceed henc e to Pekin on the rail road without the authority of the Tsung Li Yamen. One hundred and eight Americans, with a machine gun and a field gun, landed here last night amidst great enthusiasm on the part of the residents. Five Russian and one British warships have arrived at Taku and the British are now landing. Other warships are hourly expected. Three thousand Chinese troops from Lu Tai are expected here to-day en route to Fang Tai. There is a disposition here to be lieve that the "Boxers" will disperse before the foreign troops are ready to act. Tien Tsin is in no danger. The Chinese refuse to allow Russian troops to pass the Taku forts. The rescue party of Frenchmen and Germans returned from Chang Hsin Tien this afternoon. They confirm the report that besieged Belgians are now safe at Pekin. They found several thousand "Boxers" about the ruins of Lu-Kow-Chiao and Changh Sin Tien stations. The bridges have been dam aged and the rolling stock destroyed. At both places the damage done is con siderably greater than at Fang Tai. The members of the rescue party saw several bodies of Chinese tearing up the sleepers, and in one case a Man darin was looking on. They further report that the missionaries and others escaped from Pao Ting Fu in boats. The Imperial Railway Directory is endeavoring to fasten the blame for the damage at Fang Tai on the foreign employees, principally the British, whom, they say, should not have left their posts. The foreigners, however, did not leave until they saw Lu-Kow-Chiao station, five miles away, in flames, and an attack had actually baen made on ar engine from Fang Tai, which was running on the Lu-Han line, in an attempt to rescue the Belgians. The foreign men-of-war have arrived here to-day. Five Russian warships and two Russian gunboats, one French warship, two British warships and one Italian warship. They are all landing men. London, May 30. A special dispatch from Shanghai, dated to-day, says: "Yesterday the Chinese Government issued an edict prohibiting the 'Boxers' organization, under penalty of death. The edict, which was signed by the Emperor, was couched in equivocal terms and promulgated really more as an excuse than in condemnation of the movement." London, May 30. The Daily Mail has received the following from Tien Tsin, dated May 30th: "Heavy fighting has taken place between the Imperial troops and the Boxers at Lai, Shin-Hi-Sien, but the result Is not known here. Railway traffic at Pekin has been re sumed. The foreign settlement here is sufficiently protected by the American and Japanese troops which have been landed. Consequently the excitement has abated." TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC OF CHOLERA London, May 31. The Daily Express ha? the following from Bombay, dated yester day: "An unprecedented severe epidemic of cholera has broken out in the northern districts of Bombay presidency, especially in the famine camps. The deaths have In creaBed 40 per cent, within three days. In Karirl district there have been 1330 deaths In seven days. The government has made a special grant of 1000 to cremate the dead immediately. "In Palampur State on the first day there was one death, on the second there were eighty-four, and on the third there were upward of 400. The swiftness of the Infection was due to the fact that the first death was near the only available watrr supply. The germs were thus carried all over the camp. "In the city of Bombay theTe have boon sixty-seven deaths in the last seven days." Ban Francisco. May 30. The cit: Board of Health to-day held an autopsy on the body of a Chinaman found last Iiight in a Chinese undertaking estab lishment. Dr. Kellogg, bacteriologist o the Board of Health, said after th autopsy that all indications point to tl conclusion that it is another case plague. According to Dr. Williams, president of the Board of Health, t cordon around the outskirts of Chin; town may continue for six weeks. Th Chinese merchants are preparing to In tltute legal proceedings against th Board of Health to compel that bod: to lift the embargo. THK WAI IX THE PBiLIPPl.MX The American Troops Engage t be In surgents and Hill Many of Tbem. Manila. May 29. Major Henry T. Allen, of the Forty-third Infantry, while scouting from Catbalogam, island of Samar, May 9th, drove a party of in surgents from the valleys. Four Amer icans were killed, including Lieutenant W. H. Evans, who was slain while gallantly leading a charge against the entrenchments. Eleven ef the enemy were killed and four were wounded. The town of Caterman, island of Sa mar, was attacked at midnight April 30th by a thousand rebels, who en trenched t; mselve ntar the town over night. Captain John Cooke, of the Forty-third Regiment, fought the Fili pinos for six hours, and afterwards buried 150 of the enemy. One Ameri can was killed and one was wounded. The hamlet of Pawin, in the province of Leguna, island of Luzon, the head quarters of General Cailles, was sur rounded May 26th by three detachments of the Forty-second Regiment. Thirty seventh Regiment and Eleventh Cav alry. Only a few of the enemy were encountered. Cailles having departed the day before. Pawin, which was manifestly a rebel stronghold, was burned to the ground. Captain Nordon's scouts and two companies of the Eighteenth Regiment, while scouting May 12th in Western Panay, surprised a number of the en emy near Vaiderama and killed thirty five of them. There were no casualties among the Americans, but some of them suffered from sunstroke. The official reports announce scouting and small engagements in Panay and Cebu islands and Tayabas, Laguna, Zambales, Bengust and Pangasin pro vinces, resulting in fourteen of the en pmy being killed and many wounded. The Americans also captured sixty rifles, a Nordenfeldt gun and supplies &f ammunition and destroyed a powder factory. A rebel major surrendered at Liscum last week and has been per suading others to follow his example. To-day he effected the surrender of ioriy-six men, witn ntty-nve rines, at Tarlac, and hopes to influence more of his countrymen to do the same. THE IKAXSVAAL. WAR. Premier K.iIiKbiiry I Itei an Impor tant Statement ttegartf In? Great Britain' . Kontb African Policy. London, May 29. Lord Salisbury, who was entertained at dinner this evening by the city of London Con servative Association, made an im portant announcement regarding the Government's South African policy. "The 'stop the war' party have used my name," said the Premier, "in sup port .of their ideas, by stating tnat I promised there should be no annexa tion of territory, annexation of gold fields. I never gave a pledge. I never meant to give a pledge. (Loud cheers). "I stated a simple historical fact. We were accused of going to war for lust of gold and territory. We went to war to abate oppression of the Queen's subjects in the Transvaal and because our remonstrances were met by an in sulting ultimatum, to which, if the Queen's government had submitted, her power, not only in South Africa, but over her colonies and dependencies would have been at an end. We were forced into war by the action of our opponents. "To say that because we repudiate the greed of territory we therefore bound ourselves never to annex any territory is a most ridiculous miscon struction. I dwell on this point because this matter of annexation is about to become a burning question. "We have made a tremendous sacri fice of blood and treasure in this con flict, and the only certainty of prevent ing a recurrence of this fearful war is to insure that never again shall such vast accumulations of armaments oc cur and that not a shred of the former independence of the republic shall re main. (Cheering). "We are not yet at the end of the war, but I shall venture to lay it down as a primary condition of any future settlement that precautions will be taken of such a char-ter that such a war will never occur aain. It will also be our duty to protect those native races who have been so sorely afflicted, and at the same time so to conduct their policy that, so far as possible there shall be a reconciliation and that every one shall be a happy member of the British empire." After the master of the rolls, Lord Alverstone, had proposed "The Imperial Forces," Lord Salisbury again rose, holding a paper in his hand, and said: "I find that Lord Roberts has occupied Johannesburg." This announcement was followed by a wild display of enthusiasm, the com pany cheering for "Bobs" and singing "God Save the Queen." Lord Salisbury, later in the evening, when proposing "The City of London Conservative Association," referred to "the glorious news received," and said: "One thing we have learned from this yar is that everything depends upon the General." CTHE CONFEDERATE VETERANS. Louisville. Ky., May 29 The tenth annual reunion of the United Confed erate Veterans will begin to-morrow at 12 noon in the splendid new hall erected for this occasion by the peo ple of Louisville. The ex-Confederates and the other Visitors have found Louisville swathed with bunting, the stars and bars of the Confederacy pi edominating. To morrow's proceedings will be merely opening exercises. "A SiDgle Fact Is worth a shipload of argu ment." What shall be said, then, of thousands of facts? Every cure by Hood's Sarsaparilla is a fact, presenting the strongest possible evidence of the merit of this medicine.

Lord Roberts Within a Day's Rarsb of Johannesburg: Ths People In Fnll Fear or tbs Coming- of ths British-President Hrnger ITrged by General Both to Arrange Peaee Terms. London. May 29. -Lord Roberts is now within a day's march of Johannesburg and General French and General Ian Hamilton fought the Boers from noon Until evening on Monday, with what result is now known here. H. H. J. Whigham, in a dispatch to the Dally Mail, dated May 28th, says: "The demoralization of the Transvaal Is remarkable. Panic and confusion prevails everywhere. Every one is weary of the war and full of fear as to the coming of the British. Opera tions were being carried on for encir cling Pretoria with telegraphic com munications. Four points in the 11ns of defences were connected with htad Quarters and with the Staats artillery, but this apparently was the only de fensive measure adopted. There were no visible preparations. "Not much guld is likely to be found in the treasury. The salaries of the officials and judges have not been paid, or have been paid only in national bank notes, which will be worthless when Lord liooerts arrives. The seat Of government will be removed to Waterval Bovan, a small station on the Delagoa Bay railway li ie, and then, If necessary, to Lydenburg. "Both President Steyn and President Kruger complain bitterly of Lord Rob erts' unfair tactics, in refusing to meet the Boers in positions chosen by them and in eternally turning them by flank movements. "Around Johannesburg a few trench es have been dug, but no other steps have been taken for defence. The rail way line is blocked with refugees from the west and southwest, who are pack ed like sardines in trucks. "One form of internal machine which meets with much approval is to be laid under the rails of various lines. A pressure of some tons weight of the engine will cause this to explode with most terrible effect. Many of these ma chines are being made at the arsenal and great caution will have to be em ployed in neutralizing them. There has been a decided change in public opinion which has become quite English. All are sick of warfare. The party eager for surrender is now very influential and includes the principal leaders at the front. "The government has arranged to continue the agkation against ths British occupation of the two republics on the Continent of Europe, in Great Britain and in the United States. No expense will be spared. I have excellent reasons for believing that the Bewaar plaatzen rights have been sold to a French syndicate, without the sanction Of the Volksraad, in order to bring about French intervention for the pro tection of French rights in the Wiwatersrand and thus to cause Eng land grave difficulties." Another dispatch from Lourenzo Marques says: General Louis Botha is at Pretoria, urging President Kruger to arrange peace terms. President Steyn occupies the house of the British resident at Pretoria. General Rundle was shelling the suburbs of Senekaal Saturday. In a skirmish Major Dalbiac and four men were killed, and Lieutenant Ken nard and three troopers were wounded. Several of the British were captured. The Boers disappeared to the northeast of Senekaal and the Grenadiers enter ed the town at dusk. Three thousand Boers are reported to be at Jumming Kranz. One corre spondent avers that a British patrol on entering Senakaal, was set upon by Boers concealed in a house. General Bundle's prisoners tell the same story. All are tired of the war and desire peace. The morning papers generally regard the Boer organized resistance as near an end. Predictions are made that the Brit ish flag will fly at Johannesburg to day and at Pretoria Satr day London, May 28. Midnight Firing has been heard since no n. H. G. Whigham has just returned to Lou renzo Marques from Pretoria, where he went disguised. He wires that Kruger has all the arrangements made for flight, presumably to Holland. A special train, provisioned, is always ready with steam up. The train waits some distance from Pretoria." THE M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE. Chicago. May 28. With three business sessions to-day. the quadrennial confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church practically came to a close. Much im portant business was transacted to-day, including the settlement of two of the most interesting questions brought before the Conference the report of the Com mittee on Temperance, and the Commit tee on the State of Church in regard to the ban on card playing, theatre-going, dancing and other amusements. A strong political color was given the discus-ion on the temperance question by the bitter ar raignment of President McKinley because of his attitude on the anti-canteen law, but after some decidedly warm debate, the conference refused to criticise the at titude of the Chief Magistrate, by strik ing out, by an overwhelming vote, all reference to any action on his part or that of Attorney-General ( .'srgs. The mi nority report on amusemeu s. accepted Saturday, was to the surprise of many, laid on the table, which action leaves the paragraph in the book of discipline ex actly as it was before the question was considered. THE PRICE. M CORMICK & CO. FAILURE. New York, May 28. The members of the firm of Price. McCormick & Com pany, stock brokers, who failed Thurs day last, except Mr. Crocker, who is In Kurope, were in conference to-day with tgiilgnee Curtis. Mr. Curtis said it Ottld require at least forty-eight hours lore to get any idea of the condition bjf matters. The firm's transactions on tne Cotton Exchange have been closed. It is understood that ten or eleven millions of dollars in loans contracted y the firm will be liquidated in such way as not to disturb the money or ItOck market. SD1NG FOR PEACE. BRITISH OFFICERS AT JORASKE BI BO DICTA Tl SO TERMS. Ibe City Anld to IImvo Been Snr renderrd to Lord Booerls-Tbe British Troops Within Two Uonr's Hareh of Pretoria and the Boer Forces Abandon the City London Pnpers Trent the War as I ml - I The Itoer Troops Dissolving-. Pretoria, May "0. British officers are now at Johannesburg, dictat.ns terms of surrender. The British advance guard Is half way between Johannes burg and Pretoria. It is reported that there is a force also at Hatherly. All the forces have been dismissed from the forts around Pretoria. President Kruger is now at Waterfall boven. London, May 313 a. m. Yesterday at noon the British were only about two hours' march from Pretoria, and the Boer military forces had abandoned the city. This intelligence comes from the Reuter agents at the Transaal capital and fj-om the Earl of Hosslyn In a press dispatch. The two messages left about the same time. Most of the London morning papers treat the war as ended. Rome of the more cautious critics think that guer illa warfare is likely to be carried on for some time in various parts of the conquered territory. Althouph the Boer forces are dissolv ing, Lord Roberts, apparently, has not yet taken any considerable quantity of artillery, arms or stores. Large bodies of Boers must still be somewhere in the field. Watervalboven, or Waterfallboven, is a small niountuin place one hundred and thirty miles due east of Pretoria, on the Delagoa hay railway. The seat of the Boer government what Is left of It will probably be Lydenburg, to the north. A dispatch from Lorenzo Marquee, dated Wednesday, says: Commandant Kraus has surrendered Johannesburg to Lord Roberts. By to-night's train from Pretoria arrived a few Greeks, who say they were told to leae Pretoria Tues day. They affirm that the train in which they left was shelled by the Brit ish and that half of the train was cut off, the remainder steaming away. This incident probably occurred at Elands fontein Junction. Passengers from Pretoria assert that the town is utterly demoralized. There is s. mad rush for the coast. Five train loads of fugitives are expected here to-night. The Lorenzo Marques correspondents think that the border troubles between the Transvaal and Portugal may come to a head at any moment. Komati bridge is strongly defended. Yesterday the Portuguese authorities were hop ing to resist a possible engagement. A mule battery was sent to the frontier. The Lorenzo Marques correspondent of the Times says: It would not be surprising if a large proportion of the rebel Dutch sought temporary refuge on Portuguese territory. It is reported that a special train from Pretoria, with fugitives, was derailed on the Trans vaal side of Komatlpoort, a number of passengers being killed or injured. The British authorities at Buluwayo think the Boers will retire into South ern Rhodesia. By the release of the British pris oners at Waterval a full brigade will be added to the army of Lord Roberts, as there were one hundred and seventy seven officers and 4812 privates among them. General Hunter re-entered the Tians vaal at Maribogopan Tuesday. The ad vance was made off the railway. Yes terday General Hunter reached Greis dorp with ten days' supplies. Maribo gopan is half way between Vryburg and Mafeklng. Greisdorp is from twelve to fifteen miles east. General Hunter meets w ith no resistance. General Baden-Powell Is invading further north, without opposition. Com mandant Snyman having gone toward Pretoria. In Northern Natal Utrecht has sur rendered to Genera! Hlldyard, and Gen eral Lyttleton is moving to Vryheid. Three different correspondents estimate the number of Boers at Laing's Nek at about 10,000. Bloemfontein, Monday, May 28. Amid salutes and cheers and the sineing of "God Save the Queen," the military governor, Major -General Georgo Prety man, at noon formally proclaimed the annexation of the Free State under the designation of the Orange River Col ony. The ceremony was somewhat im posing and the scene in the market square inspiring. An immense con course had gathered and the town was gay with bunting. The balconies and windows surrounding the square were crowded with lad!'-s. The troops were drawn up under command of General Knox and enter tained the Bpe tators. The Governor, accompanied by General Kelly-Kenny and their staffs, escorted by the Welsh Yeomanry, was greeted with a general salute, after which, amid an Impres sive silence and in a clear voice, heard in every part of the square, General Pretyman read Lord Roberts' procla mation annexing the Orange Free State as conquered by Her Majesty's forces to the Queen's dominions and proclaim ing that the Stat" shall henceforth be known as the Orange Riv-?r Colony. Lusty cheers greeted the concluding words of the proclamation and these were renewed with ever increasing vol ume as Lord Acheson unfurled the royal standard and the bands struck up "God Save the Queen," all present Join ing In singing the national hymn. The ceremony concluded with cheers for the Queen, Lord Roberts and the army and a salute of twenty-one guns. THE GRAVES END RACES. New York, May 30 A holiday crowd Of 15,000 people cheered with the wildest enthusiasm as the great mare Imp gal loped home In front in ths Parkway handicap at Gravesend to-day. Imp was the favorite at it to 5, while Kinley Mack, the Brooklyn handicap winner; Charentus and Survivor all got steady play at 3 to L Imp, with O'Connor up, set the pace from the start, though Charentus ran larped with her around the first turn andup the back stretch.
