THE DISORDERLY BODRS
How They Broke Up a Meeting Of
the Uitlanders.
PRESIDENT KRUGER ANNOYED.

The Head of the Transvaal Republic
Had Authorized the Meeting, and
VIII Probably Now Be Galled Upon
to Explain to Great Britain.
], London, Jan. ia Capetown dis
patch confirms the report that the
johannesburg meeting on Saturday
was broken up by bands Of armed and
org. pized Beers. and gives the fol-
lowing account of the AFFAIR:
The Beers occupied the building quite
an hour before the commencement Of
the meeting, and from the galleries
threw down boxes chairs and tables
upon tn e Uitlanders in the arena.
Within is minutes terrible fighting was
in progress. The whole interior was
wrecked, the police remaining passive
spectators, and the wreckage made a
huge pile on the main floor of the hall.
AT one stage in the fighting the police
caught young Boer trying to set fire
to the debris, but they liberated him
after mild rebuke.
At this point a fresh contingent of
Beers invaded the hall, f1ourishing
sticks and iron bars and attacking
every Ultlander they came across un-
armed. The Uitlanders made for the
door. escaping after terrific scuffie, In
which many were injured. Outside the
hall they formed up, waiting for fur
ther attack.
The Beers then held meeting inside,
wrecked the hall. emerged and marched
to the police barracks. cheering the
government, and hooting the Uitlanders.
Huge crowds thronged the streets
throughout the night. The censorship
at Johannesburg is very strict. but the
latest kilograms say that many scenes
OF violence occurred In the streets after
the meeting. Matters had begun to look
ugly, when the police. commandant
persuaded the Beers to depart, the
English remaining behind and singing
the national anthem. Two Englishmen
who were arrested after the meeting
for disturbing the peace were ultimate
Iy released.
President Kruger and the Boer au-
thorities are said to be greatly annoyed,
because the president had promised to
permit the meeting if conducted in
orderly fashion.

Tile Americans Completely Beset. :,

Madrid. Jan. 1.-THE absence of news
from Manila Is attributed by the Span
aards here to the alleged orders of
President Mckinley to the local au-
thorities at the Philippine capital not
to permit cipher messages to be trans
mitted. The newspapers assert that
these orders are due to the fact that
the authorities at Washington fear
the bad effects which revelation of
the true situation at Manila would
create, the Americans being completely
beset on the land side by insurgents"
