TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.
believed a Critical Stage in the
Proceedings Has Been Reached.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The STANDARD
and Digger News" to-day received a
cablegram from it's Johannesburg Of
fee, dated yesterday, saying that a
German corps, 900 strong, had been
formed there to cooperate with the
Beers in the event of war with Great
Britain. The dispatch adds that the
Boers could mobilize 10000 men in
three days, while the Orange Free
state could muster 10000 men in the
same period.
Continuing, the dispatch says: "Mr.
Chamberlain's reply upholdng the
suzerainty of Great Britain was re-
ce1ved by the Raad, with a demonstra-
ton which Enthusiastically indicated the
intention of the TransvaaI to repudi-
ate Great Britains pretensions. The
Raad on hearing the five-year fran
chise proposal, gave every Indication
Oh dissent and of a determination not
to go beyond a seven-year limit. It
must not be forgotten that these state
ments came from an excessively pro-
Boer source"
A special dispatch received here to-
day from Johannesburg says that
Editor Pakeman of the ''Transvaal
Leader" has been arrested, charged
with high treason.
1t is generally believed a critical
stage in the negotiations has been
reached, and Warlike rumors prevail.

REBELS DEFEATED.
Attack the Americans in the Phil
ippines and Are Routed.

MANILA, Sept. 3, 100 a. m.-The in
surgents made an unsuccessful attempt
early yesterday morning to drive Col
onel Smiths command out of Angeles
with artillery, the first time they have
attempted to use this arm for months.
They brought two Krupp guns from
Porac and fired eight shrapnels at the
town at dawn. Onl a few of the shells
exploded and the aim of the gunners
being bad, no damage was done. Lieu
tenant Kenley's guns of the First Ar
tillery were brought into action imme-
diately, and soon drove the enemy from
their position.
At 4:30 o'clock this morning a small
party of rebels fired into Guada which
is held by two companies of the Ninth
Regiment of Infantry, supported by the
gunboat Laguna de Bay. One native
resident was wounded. The enemy was
driven off by infantry fire and the guns
of the gunboat.

COLUMBIA AND DEFENDER.
The Former Shows Her Superiority
Over the Latter.

NEWPORT Or. II, Sept. 2.-The first
of the formal trial races between the
Columbia and Defender to-day for the
purpose of selecting a yacht to sail
against the Shamrock in defense of the
Americas cup resulted in so decisive
a victory for the new boat that were
it not for the fact that it is desirable
to have her race as much as possible,
other contests would seem almost use
less.
The yachts sailed one of the regula-
ton f1fteen-mile windward and lee
ward courses in an eight-knot breeze
that increased on the beat out and fat
tened out at the finish, and it took the
Columbia just six minutes and forty
nine seconds less time to cover the dis
tance than it did the Defender
Nearly every one seemed fully satis-
fed with the result of the race, espe-
cially the owners of the new boat, for
the steel mast, which was carried
through a race for the first time, Ger,
tainly improved her wonderfully, en-
abling her to stand straighter than the
Defender, and therefore, to Outpoint
her. In fact, the Columbia sailed all
around the old boat, and but for the
softening OF the wind as she neared the
line and the subsequent freshening as
her rival came up to the finish, the diff
ference between the two boats would
have been at least two, if not three
minutes greater. 1t was a stiff brush
while it lasted, and the result was GER
tainly no discredit to those on the De-
fender. Those who watched her saw
the Columbia stand up to the breeze
as never before, besides footing faster
and pointing higher. For a few mo-
ments the baby jib topsail was taken
off to see how she would hold the old
boat, but while it made little differ
ence, it was replaced, only to be re-
moved again when the wind increased
to nearly twelve knots.
Undoubtedly there will be a few
changes in some of the new sails, for,
as compared with the Defenders. which
are now well nigh perfect, they seem
drawn and puckered in many places.
Nearly all eyes were turned at least
part of the time on the steel mast that
proved so treacherous when first it was
tried. To-day it stood up straighter
than any pine mast could have done,
with not the slightest sign of a buckle,
leaving little doubt that this mast or
a similar affair will go through the cup
races successfully, and aid her ma
terially in defeating the Shamrock.

PENNSYLVANIA TRAGEDY.
One Man Killed and Several Others
Wounded at West Pittston.

WILKESBARRE, Sept. John Pol
lock was shot and killed, VIM. Thayer
was seriously wounded, and about eight
men were hurt in fight between the
strikers at the colliery in West Pittston
and a repair gang.
The strikers have been in an ugly
mood for several days and yesterday
stoned several men. Warrants were is
sued for their arrest, but none was
served. Last night a lot of top rock
fell into the mine, and to-day Night
Watchman William Thayer got five
men together to make repairs. AS they
reached the mine strikers blocked their
way and threw stones. The workmen
ran to the head house for shelter,
whereupon the strikers opened fire on
them Thayer fell badly wounded The
others returned the fire, killing John
Pollock, one of the strikers The
strikers then scattered in the woods.
and are hiding from arrest.
About 800 men are involved in the
strike, which has been in operation for
nearly six weeks. They are striking
against what they claim to be excessive
dockage.
A large number of Deputy Constables
are guarding the mine The strikers
are worked up to a high pitch of ex-
cItement, and threaten vengeance All
of them are armed and it would not
take much provocation to start a gem

SHIP RELIEF.
Vessel Will No Longer be Used

Has Been Condemned By the Government
Inspectors as Unfit for Use.
The Ship, Which Has Cost the
United States a Large Sum of
Money, Will Be Sent to Manila
as an Auxiliary to the Fleet in
the Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2. - The
United States hospital ship Relief,
which recently arrived here from Ma
Mia with a large number of sick and
convalescent soldiers from Manila, will
not again carry troops across the Pa
cific.
The vessel has been condemned by
the Government Inspectors at this port
as unfit for an ocean transport. She is
stated to stand SO high above the water
as to be unseaworthy in a storm, and it
is asserted that she could never pass
through typhoon in safety.
The vessel, which cost the Govern
ment over 100000, and was fitted up
at an additional expense of $50, 600,
will be sent to Manila, to be used here
after as an auxiliary to the United
States fleet in Philippine waters for
the conveyance of troops from one ISL
and to another where their services
may be required.
The Relief was to have carried hos
pital nurses and doctors and was to
have sailed on the 10Th inst. She will
now probably have her hurricane deck
removed and may then pass muster.

SAN ROGUE DIGGINGs.
w. N. Smith and Wife Have a
Rough Experience

LOS ANGELES, Sept 2-Among the
returning victims from the San Rogue
placer diggings in Lower California are
Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Smith of Denver,
who reached the city to-day on their
return trip, after having walked 800
miles in their struggles to get back
to civilization, and are now at the Lin
wood Hotel.
When the couple left Denver they
had several hundred dollars, but the
expenses of the trip We're so great that
when they discovered the trap into
which they had been led by false re-
ports which came from the peninsula
they were not prepared to get out in
proper shape, and the long, hard tramp
was forced upon them. For mile after
mile, day after day they struggled
against all manner of hardships, in a
country almost inconceivably hot and
desolate, until their feet were swollen
and blistered, and every step caused
them agony.
Mr.. Smith is an old miner, but he de-
clares that he has never encountered
such hardships as those of Lower Cal
ifornia which he thinks is more for
bidding than the Klondike, and lacks
