And That if President Kruger
Does Not Back Down There
Will Be War.
News From the Transyaal Says
Matters Are Approaching
q Crisis.
Ambassador Cloate Knows Moth
ING Of a Move For American
Mediation,

LONDON, June 12.-It is not improb-
able that the crisis in the Transvaal
will be fastened by some untoward in
cident at Johannesburg j. B. Robin
son, the South African millionaire and
mine owner, received q telegram from
his agent at Johannesburg saying the
situation there is most serious.
The agent added that a mass meeting
of Uitlanders will be held in order to
confirm and support tho proposals of
the British high commissioner, Sir AL
fred Miner. AS open air meetings are
not allowed without permission it is not
improbable, if the necessary permission
is not obtained, that the police will en-
deavor to stop the meeting.
The concensus Of opinion among
prominent Uitlanders and South Afri-
can capitalists in London is that the
British government is in a tight fix,
that it cannot retreat from its position,
and that if President Kruger does not
recede wal is inevitable.
Regarding the suggestion that the
United States be asked to mediate be-
tween the T%ransvaal and Great Britain,
Joseph H. Choate, the United States
ambassador, says:
while every good American would
welcome the possibility of helping a
solution of the present situation, we
have not been approached in the matter
and l, personally, know nothing of this
proposed mediation by America"
An official of the foreign Office, in con-
versation with a representative of the
Associated Press, says:
1--WE have not approached America,
MOI has America approached us in this
matter, and 1t Is very unlikely that
America will be asked to do anything
Of the kind, much as we value the good
feeling existing between the two coun-
tries"
81 Approved Kruger's Suggestion.
PRETORIA, Transvaal Republic, June
12.-After deliberation in secret all
morning, the Volksraad approved Pres.
ident Kruger's franchise propositions
and instructed the government to draw
them up in the form of a law, which
will be submitted to the Volksraad.
The Volksraad also adopted a resolu-
ton Of regret that the British high
commissioner had not accepted Presi-
dent, Kruger's proposals, which the
Volksraad considers reasonable in the
highest degree"

June 13.-It is asserted in official circles

CLEVELAND STRIKE.
Attempts to Run Cars Results in Consid.
cradle Excitement.

CLEVELAND, o., June 13.-After q
quiet Sunday, during which no attempt
was made to ran cars, the struggle be-
tween the Cleveland Electric Railway
company (Big Co%nsolidated) and its
striking employees was renewed in lively
fashion. The company started the first
car for down town from the Lakeview
barns at 10 o'clock, guarded by deputies
and manned by imported mem. The
crowds jeered and some missiles We're
thrown. The next two cars dashed
from the barns across the railroad cross
ing without a stop. The city ordinance
makes it compulsory for the conductor
CT the street car to leave the car and go
to the railroad crossing and there sig
nal the motorman to proceed. Two of
the strikers were delegated to secure
warrants for the crews of these cars
and later both of the new motormen
We're arrested.
The first car to leave Lakeview was
allowed to depart without any demon
station beyond boots and jeers. The
report that a car had passed spread like
wildfre and when the second car,
which arrived at $40, came along it
was stopped. Several thousand people
Immediately packed around the car
and a delegation of the strikers induced
the motorman to leave it. He was given
an ovation. While the strikers We're
talking with the motorman and con-
ductor, stones and vegetables were
thrown. Several men who were in
sympathy with the strikers %endeavored
to draw the non-union men from the
car. Police finally charged the crowd
on Euclid avenue. The third car out of
the barns was attempting to make the
return trip on the venue Thousands
of people and innumerable wagons
blocked the thoroughfare and impeded
the progress of the Cal.
The trolley rope was cut several times
and every few minutes some one would
release the lever that controlled the
fender and it would drop to the ground.
The crowd would be beaten back for
the time being, but before the car had
proceeded Is feet its progress would be
again impeded by the surging crowd.
A number of rioters were arrested
and many in the mob were dubbed by
the police. At the Nickel Plate cross
ing, several women hurled stones at the
cars.
At noon the cars were running at ir-
regular intervals.
The state arbitration commissioners
met at II o'clock, and a committee from
the strikers was present and waited an
hour in vain for the company's repre-
sentatives to appear. The company
later announced that it will reject arbi-
tration.
