London, Aug. 1.-THE Boer organ

News today published Johannesburg
dispatch threatening Great Britain in
event of war, saying the Beers are de-
termined to wreck the mines and ire
trievably ruin the general body Of
shareholders by blowing up millions Of
dollars worth of machinery. adding
that war will mean absolute ruin Of
johannesburg, both as town and min
ing center, and saying:
"While /. will doubtless end in VIC
tory for England, the price Of victory
will be the ruin Of thousands who
ought to consider the price they must
pay before authorizing the government
to declare war;"
Another Johannesburg dispatch pre-
diets further concessions, and says:
"The reply OF Transvaal 10 the pro-
posal for joint inquiry is being delayed
until the government has prepared q
scheme granting Uitlandres immediate
and substantial representation, as the
Transvaal will make every effort to
avert Intervention in the internal af-

is to equip the refrigerator cars of the
company SO that liquid air can take
the place of ice. Since the company
sends East yearly over 2,000 car
loads Of citrus fruit, vegetables. dried
fruits and nuts, and the great bulk Of

Chinese Demand Extra Pay From the
Governments.
Seattle, Aug. lathe trouble that
has been brewing on the United States
transport Victoria for several days cul-
minated in mutiny today. Nearly
so of the Chinese crew were in open re-
bellion against the captain and his Off
GERS. A terrible battle appeared at one
time imminent. and was only avoided
by the cool nerve OF the ships first and
second officers, who stood in the face
OF the enraged Celestials with drawn
pistols. There was fighting for a
time, and the mutinous Chinese fought
their way from between decks forward
up the companion ladder to the upper
deck and thence back to nearly amid
ships before their onrush was finally
stayed. Had it not been for the pres
ence on board the ship of carpenters
and shipwrights, who were armed with
hatchets, hammers and saws. the Chi
nese might have won out.
The reason for the mutiny is more
money and shore leave on the part OF
the crew. The Chinese have found out
that they are to work for the United
States government, and they demand
extra pay of 81 more month.
