Many other friends of the Americans at

embassy and made inquiries regarding their
safety. But the United States ambassador
Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard, had no additional
news to give them.

protection of Americans in the Transyaal
arrived in London Monday an attache of
the United States embassy was Immediately
sent to the foreign office. There he was
escorted to the colonial Office and introduced
to the secretary of state for the colonies
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain.
When Mr.. Olney's request had been made
known Mr.. Chamberlain Immediately said
I'VE shall be very glad to use our good
offices in behalf of the United States"
Shortly afterward brief formal note was
received by Mr.. Bayard, in which Mr.
Chamberlain, in the kindest terms, repea ted
the assurance that Great Britain would do
whatever was possible to protect the Ameri-

Pillsbury defended Tschigorin's Ruy Lo-

opportunity to show what he could do with
this rather unpraeticed variation. The re-
suit showed 1t to be pretty sound way of
playing the black forces, and Pillsbury had
no difficulty in building up a strong, unas-
sailable position.
Realizing the great necessity for him to
win at all costs, the Brooklyn boy strained
a point in his endeavor to get at his ad-
