mand. 1t may be stated as certain that
this contingency has been fully fore
seen for months past. Fresh troops and
large quantities of munitions of war
have gone to South Africa by every
steamer The troops have been de-
scribed as reliefs, but those they were
supposed to relieve have remained in
South Africa. A steamer which sailed
in May took 500 of these reliefs, and
passengers who had previously secured
accommodations had to yield their
places to the officers and men.
In Natal, notably at Lady Smith. a
large force has been assembled, fully
equipped and ready to march at mo-
ment's notice. Hundreds of mules from
South Africa and Cyprus are on the
spot, the storehouses are full of for
age and the magazines are packed with
ammunition.
1t is estimated that the Transvaal
could muster a fighting force of from
16, 900 to $4,000 men, while the British
troops there already number II 900 men,

eral Sir William Francis Butler, who

PROPHET SMITHS
PREDICTIONS FAIL
Negroes of Houston Confidently
Awaited the End of the World
and Destruction of the
Wicked.

HOUSTON, Tex, June 1O.-Negroes of
this city are greatly excited over the pre-
diction Of prophet named Smith that
the end of the world is at hand. Three
hundred of his followers, dressed in their
best. assembled in an old warehouse in
Franklin street on Thursday night to
await the coming of Christ and the de-
struction of the wicked. They kept up an
unearthly shouting, singing and praying
all night, and as dawn appeared and the
prophet was suddenly called to other
fields, while some showed signs of waver-
ing the enthusiasm of the others infused
them with renewed faith, and all day long
they tasted and prayed.
The, excitement was nearly as great
there last night as around the place where
the prize fight bulletins were being posted,
and at midnight, when one of the female
members gave birth to a child as pre-
dicted by Smith, they became relgiously
insane.
Sanitary police fumigated the building
this morning and built smoking fires out
side, but the negroes could not be driven
out.
In four other cities crowds are also
awaiting the terrible events predicted by
Smith, who is sending them messages of
all kinds, telling his reasons of Gods fail
ure to destroy the world Families are
divided and the more intelligent colored
people are very angry with Smith Should
he appear here again soon he will be
