ment has ben caused in ministerial quar

iileteness of Lord Roberts' victory in
Pretoria, and there is even a disposition
t bin mo the victorious field marshal.
l ew people doubted that the capture
ef Pretoria and Johannesburg would be
followed lty wholesale surrender of the
P iers, Instead it is complained that the
Poer armies have not ben captured. Two
'. three months ago the men who are
" ntmliiinir in this fashion would have
hen content with ssmall successes. The
truth i, the Boer strategy has npset
political calculations. July may come
ttit lithe' war still dragging along, and

VAN AVYCK AND TlIE ICE TBI! ST
The IVIayor Goes on the Stand, and Tells
About Ills Stock.
New York. June 9. Ma vor Van
Wyck was called to the witness chair
toady in the proceedings against the
mayor, the dock commissioners and
Charles; W. Morse, uresident of the
merican Ice Company, which were be-
un some time ago before Sunreme
Court Justice Gavnor. in Brooklyn. The
proceedings are designed to show what,
f any, connection exists between certain
city officials and the ice comnanv.
The , mayor testified that he owned
200 shares of the stock in the American
Ice Company, which he had obtained
from President ' Morse,' some of it in ex
change for stock in the Knickerbocker
Ice Company of Maine.
"Did you purchase all this stock sub
sequent to becoming mayor of the city V"
Mr. an Wyck was asked.
"I did." I - "
"WThy did you purchase stock in the
Knickerbocker company?"
"Because; it was paying four per cent.
on common and six 'per cent, on pre
ferred stock."
When he made the purchase he did
not know that the American Ice Com-
any intended to do business in New
York city. ; He had paid for his stock
with a check on the Garfield National
vank and borrowed 75 per cent, of the
purchase money.
"W hen you made the purchase it was
agreed that you should borrow from the
bank?"
"It was."
"Was there any guarantee to protect
you against loss on tnat scock:
"No."
"Have you paid back the bank?''
"I have."
"Are you accustomed to such large
financial transactions?"
"I am."
For the' money borrowed the mayor
said he gave four, five and six months
notes, lie has paid two notes for $7..-
000 each, and yesterday oaid one cash
note for $70,00. Continuing the mayor
aid:
"The interest on the notes was six
per cent. W lien 1 made jne renewal or
that note the block of stock' was worth
$81,000, but I sold it yesterday for
$08,000. The note called for i5,0OO,
so I lost $7,000. I took no active in

Company was to have any monopoly of

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE
Cien. Plo Bel Pilar Was One of the
JHost Active Insurgents.
Washington. June 9. General Mac-
Arthur has cabled the following report
of the capture of General Pilar:
"Manila. June 0. Native police cap-
tured insurgent Ueneral I'io
iJel 1'ilar
this morning
He was found lurking in
the neighborhood of San Pedro Maceti
General Schwan s estimate of tne im
portance of this news is contained m tnis
statement:
"The capture of General Pio Del Pilar,
cabled hv General MacArthur this
morning is a most important one. i nar
was regarded as one of the most active
and uncompromising of the rebel chief
tains. After the disruption of tne in
surgent government, and the dispersion
of nearly all the insurgent organizations
north of Manila, Pilar managed to con
centrate a considerable force at St.
Mieuel De Mayumo, in the province of
Buluean. and although he was unable
to hold the place for any great length
of time, he succeeded in withdrawing
his troops to the mountains and in
eluding the several columns that were
sent out to destroy him.- It was difficult
to keen track of his movements, and he
frennentlv. was reported as being at a
number of places at the same time
That his capture has been effected by
the native nolice of .Manila, a body num
bering some four hundred, evidences
afresh the lovaltv of these men to the
American cause, so often impugned both
by Americans and Filipinos

conduct the coming campaign. This was
learned today from the best authority.
The only thing which will change their

Senator
Hanna and
Representative
Dick had a1 long conference -with Presi
dent McKinley today about: political mat
ters in general.
The president was deluged with prom
inent visitors all day, but all he coul
dn with some, of them was to shake
bond and ask them to call again, as he
was engaged. 4 Many details of the Re
publican National Convention were
talkedVrer. Representative Dick, secre
tnpv of the National Committee, will go
!to Philadelphia Monday. He is a mem-
ber of sub-committee of the National

MORE SERIOUS STILL
Imperial Connivance in
the
Boxer Movement.
GENERAL NIEH . REBUKED
Boxers He Killed Are Described as
Good Citizens-He 1 Ordered. to Re
move His Forces Eighty Miles from
the Scene or Disturbance Five Hun
dred Russian Troops Ready to Land
atTienTsIn.
Tien-Tsin, Friday, June 8. In view
of the conclusive confirmation, of impe
rial connivance in the Boxer movement,
furnished by an edict published .today.
lenouueing General Neih-Si-Chong for
killing some of the rioters, the strongest
wssible action of the powers, it Is as
serted here, can alone remedy the situa
tion, which has assumed the gravest
spect. The edict is couched in such
terms that it leaves no doubt of the deep
sympathy of the throne with the Boxers,
who are described as "good citizens."
Besides denouncing General Nieh for
billing the Boxers, the edict orders him
to return with his troops to Ioopai. eighty
miles from the scene! of the disturl-
ance.
It is claimed here that the first step
of the powers for the preservation of
foreign life and property ought to be
the assumption of control of the railroad
to Pekiu.
Russian Troops About to Land.
Shanghai, June 9. A dispatch, from
Tien-Tsin, dated Friday. June S. says
that five hundred Russian troops are
about to land there. The dispatch adds
that Fun Chow has been burned, but
that the missionaries are safe.
: The Nashville Sent from Manila.
Washington. I). C. June 9. It is un
derstood at the Navy Department that
the gunboat Nashville has been dis
patched to Taku by Admiral Remey in
place of the Helena, which was originally
selected for that purpose, but was prob
ably unavailable or absent from Manila.
The Nashville is in some respects less
suitable than the Helena for the service
n view, for she draws nearly two feet
more of water than the latter. line
of. the same size, and with precisely
the same battery, she lacks the Helena's
carrying capacity. The Helena, being
built with flush decks, is in some re
spects like an excursion boat; and one
of the naval officers just detached from
her says that she took the entire per
sonnel of the Charleston alniard upon'
the occasion of the . wreck of that ves
sel, in addition to her own crew, with
out showing any sign of being over-
crowded, l lie .asnviue lias a point oi
advantage, however, in being a knot
faster than the IJclena. rating at IH.'M
knots. Having sailed from Cavite yes
terday, nhe should be at Taku about
the latter part of next week. Admiral
Remey's dispatch announcing the de
parture of the vessel reads as follows:
"Cavite, June . l'.M it). Secretary or
the Navy. Washington, D. (.:" The
Nashville leaves today for Taku with
thirty marines and two lieutenants, ac
cording to your telegram of June (5.
The Newark has twenty-five marines
from the Oregon, and is authorized to
draw upon the ships at Shanghai for
more."
Fighting With Fire.
London. June 9. A dispatch to
the
Central News from Tien-Tsin says:
"The Tumr-Chow station near Pokm
is reported to be burning as a result of
a Boxer raid. A rescue party :s going
there from Pekin. and UniteJ States
Minister Conger has ordered a detach
ment of American marine to! the scene.
It is feared that Tung-Chow Christians
will be massacreed.
"An imperial edict issued Jodoy des
cribes the Boxers as honest but lightly
misguided patriots. The Chinese troop
who were dispatched against the Boxers
are returning to Lu Tai. The Chinese
General Nieh's troops are on the vergi
of mutiny."
Plotting Against the Dowager Empress
Loudon, June 9. Disinterested Eng
lish and European opinion is rapidly
crystalizing in favor of forcibly depos
ing the Dowager Empress of Criua and
the restoration of the emperor by the
combined forces of the jwiwers. as the
only solution of the Chinese crisis. The
.most significant feature f this .policy
is; that it provides for a complete test of
Russia's sincerity. The grave suspicions
which have been directed against Rus
sia's secret motives and her relation with
the internal troubles in China-would be
swept away if she should join unreserv
edly with other nations in the radical
measures which will alone avail. It is
solely owing to the fact that no-government
ecept, perhaps, the United States,
approaches the Chinese problem distinct
from the broadr international situation,
that action has been paralyzed until only
an extensive demonstration of "force will
now be adequate.
China Protests to the Ambassadors
London, June 9. A dispatch to Dal
ziel's News Agency from Shanghai, of
today's date, says the Chinese foreign
office has protested 'to the "foreign diplo
mats against the presence of large for
eign forces. It says that these forces
cannot be -only for the protection of the
legations: they are really the establish'
ment of a garrison in the capital. of an
independent friendly state. ' '
The . , American mission at Pei-Tang-Chou
was destroyed June 8th. The mis
sionaries escaped. .

The Knowing Ones Take This Foresha
dow Democratic Success
New York, June 9. James R. Keene,
the great New York stock gambler, who
is now in England, acknowledges that
ju-r before he departed for Europe he
made' a bet of $7.r00 to $10,000
on Bryan. Mr. Keeue is one of
tne snrewdest stock gamesters
the country, and like all of
class, dot's not risk" his money
sentiment. Though he is generally
counted a Democrat. Mr. Keene. it
in
his
on
said, never bets on Democrats unless he
is convinced, after careful investigations
from the Wall street viewioint. that
they are going to win. It is stated that
Keene has won hundreds of thousands of
dollars oir elections, and that he usually
sets the pace in this form of irambiin'ir
in New York. In consequence of his
Bryan bet it is asserted that scores of
Wall street gamblers are preparing to
place their money on the Democratic
leader. In 1890 no Wall street money
was posted on Bryan.

for the Giants and the Pirates Were a
Dead Easy ITIark for Ilanlon's Pets
Philadelphia. June 9 It Is stated
here today on good authority that the
Brooklyn National. League baseball club
s to be transferred to Washington. The
reason assigned is lack of patronage.
After a continuance of poor attendance.
it is said the Brooklyn officials com
municated with President Young of the
National League, expressing their de
sire to transfer the Brooklyn team intact
to the capital. When the league cut
down its circuit, at the last March
meeting in New York it secured the
leases on the Washington and Balti
more grounds. Therefore it will be com
paratively easy for the transfer to he
made. Washington has never been
represented hy any but a tail end team,
yet the Wagner Brothers held on there
for many years and made money each
season.
John I. Rogers, of the Philadelphia
club, when questioned regarding the re
ported transfer, said he had no knowl
edge that this action had been taken.
II would not be surprised, however, if
there was some truth in the report.
Washington, June 9. President Young
of the National League says he has
heard absolutely nothing in an official
way conecrning the reported transfer
of the Brooklyn baseball club to ash-
ngton. "The financial statements will
show," said he, speaking of the re
ported lack of patronage or the Brook
lyn team, "that the Brooklyn have
taken in more money up to this date
than a Washington team ever did
in tne same period in tue nistory oi iue
league. "Still." he added. "I have no
doubt that with a team like Brooklyn s
this city patronage of the game would
be trebled."

INDIANS IN WAR PAINT,
Tlexlcan Troops In Yucatan .TIeet With.
L'ncxpecttd Resistance.!
i
Oaxaca. Mex., June 9. The Maya Irr
lians are offering a most determine!
resistance to the government troons- and
the relellious spirit of the red j men hi
increasing.
General Bravo and a large force of
government troops have met with a most
unexpected resistance and repulse in
their march upon Santa Cruz, the prin
cipal city of the Mayas, in the Stativ
of Yucatan. When General Bravo'a
forces were within a few miles of tli
Indian stronghold a force of i several
thousand rebels pounced upon the Mexi
cans, in a flank attack. The govern
ment forces were driven back a numlcr
of miles before they recovered I
Although no statement of the lose
has been made, it is understood; that the
Mexicans and the Mayas suffered quire
heavily in killed and wounded. It is
expected that General Bravo will soou
renew the attack and make a' desperate
effort to crush the relellious red skins.
The Maya warriors are now in formid
able shape,, well drilled and ready for .i
desperate encounter. They are armed
with Mauser rities. and the main lolyl
is supplied with several rapid! fire field
pieces, which will make it a very diffi
cult matter to overwhelm and rout them.
The Indians use their rifles land field
pieces in an effective manner, and Gen
eral Bravo will meet with more opposi
tiou than he exacted in putting down
the rebellion. Much of the fighting will
have to le done in the dene forts o
Yucatan, and the operations of the gov
ernment forces will therefore be con
ducted with unusual difUcuty. j
Already the troops -have been tire-I
their tedious marches in the woods .md
ambushes have been of frequent occur-'
rencc. It is thought here "that General
Bravo will hava to call for ( reinforce
ments before he makes any oe:i'Jid im
pression upon the insurgent army.
