BOERS HELPED BY AN AMERICAN.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-A former
American army officer may be respon-
sible for the splendid military strategy
by the Beers in their recent
engagement near Ladysmith. The ca
BILE dispatches some days ago men
toned an American by the name OF
Blake as leading . Boer command. 1
was told by an army officer today that
this man was undoubtedly John y. Fill
more Blake, formerly lieutenant in the
Sixth United States Cavalry and a
graduate of West Point. The officer
with whom | talked was classmate of
Blake. He recalled that he had gone
to the Transvaal several years ago,
and knowing the character of the man
and that he was closely allled with the
Beers, he expressed the opinion that
his former classmate was probably a
leading spirit in the recent movement
which resulted so disastrously to the
British troops. Speaking further, he
said that it was evident the Beers were
getting good military advice from some
source.
The impression has prevailed here
among army men for some time past
that the Beers had with them a num-
Der of ex-army officers from European
countries but it was not supposed that
any former American officer was en-
gagged with them until the name of
Blake was mentioned in the dispatches
some days ago. Blake is a daring fell
low of the cowboy type. He was ap-
pointed to the Military Academy from
Arkansas, and one of his classmates re-
called today that when he first ap-
peared at the Military Academy he af-
forGed a great deal of amusement to
the other cadets by reason Of his wild
Western makeup and mannerisms He
graduated in 1876, standing high in his
class and was assigned to the Sixth
Cavalry, then serving IN Texas. When
his regiment was ordered North he
found army life too tame for his ad-
venturous spirit, and after about eight
years service resigned and went West.
He subsequently entered into business
in Detroit, where he married He lett
there four or five wears ago for the
Transvaal and at last accounts was
making considerable money out of MN
ing interests.

REBEL TAXES IN MANILA.
Agents Captured by Otis
Police.


WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-Mail ad-
vices to the War Department state that
a native with a commission as lleuten-
ant colonel in the insurgent army has
been captured iH Manila. The prisoner
has credentials from Aguinaldo To col
lect taxes from the inhabitants OF Ma
Mia and had been doing 80 and remit
ting the money to the rebel command
er. 1t is also stated that Major Ihomp-
son of the Signal Corps has been re-
lieyed from his position of press CEN
sor and that he has been succeeded by
a member of General Otis staff
Some additional advices have been
received from Manila by the military
authorities. The officials attached to
General Otis staff discovered recently
in house in Malate certain suspicious
documents, the authenticity OF which
no one has yet questioned, despite the
weird and nefarious nature of their
contents. Among other papers was one
which proved to be an agreement bind
ing its signatories TO systematic p,rn-
der and murder
The agreement was to rob everybody
and everything, the proceeds of such
an occupation being placed In a com
mon store and the profits OF sale or dis
tribution of unstable stuff to be equal
ly divided. The house, according 20 the
theory advanced Dy the military au-
thorities, was occupied by discharged
Filipino soldiers. The managers of the
dive suddenly disappeared wnen they
learned of the investigation being
made by Otis agents.

TWO MORE ARMY CORPS.

LONDON, Nov. S.-A Daily Mail rep
resentative is informed that the Second
and Third Army Corps are to be imme-
diately modified and that a division
consisting of 10000 men of the Second
Army Corps will be dispatched to South
Africa as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be completed. The
Second Army Corps will consist in
round numbers of some 10000 men. 1t
will be made up as follows: Thirty in
fantry battalions, three batteries of
Royal Horse Artillery, eighteen batter
les of field artillery, and ten regiments
of cavalry. The cavalry force will thus
be far in excess of the usual proportion
of that arm to the infantry, but it is
concluded that the War Office proposes
TO equip a special cavalry division, a
course which the nature of the warfare
and the character OF the country in
South Africa render necessary.
The Third Army Corps, but purely
nominal affair, will number at the out
side some $4,000 men. It could not be
brought UP to its full strength without
the aid of the militia. 1t will be re-
quired for garrison purposes, as near
ly every military station in the king
dom will be denuded of troops by the
concentration of the Second Army
Corps at AldershOt. The mobilization
of the Second and Third Army Corps
is absolutely without precedent. 1t
will. of course, involve the calling out
of the reserves of those regiments
which are on the list

THE DOOR OF CHINA.
Count Cassini Says Russia Will Keep
it Open.

it Open
WASHINGTON. Nov THE Rus
sian ambassador, Count Cassini, who
is just back from a long visit to Eu-
rope, was seen at the Russian Embassy
today and talked III a most entertain
ing manner on international questions
which have engaged public attention.
Count Cassini has been prominently
identified of late with the Chinese sit
uatiOn, as it has been stated that on
his return here he would make known
to the President and Secretary Hay the
desire of the Continental powers OF Eu-
rope that the United States should in
dicate what port or sphere of influence
in China it desires to occupy.
Il saw many prominent public men
while in Europe, including Count Mu-
ravieff," said Count Cassini, land / as
sure you that this il the first time that
have heard that such proposition
was to be submitted to the United
States. In my talks at st. Petersburg,
Paris and elsewhere many phases of
the Chinese subject were discussed but
nothing to warrant any report that
individually, or with others, have any
special inquiries TO make concerning
China To be sure, this and all other
current topics are informally dis
cussed, but it can be stated positively
that / return without any special mis-
sion to perform and without instruc-
tions relating to China"
Count Cassini said it was difficult to
understand the recent agitation over
an "open door" in China.
so far as Russia is concerned"
said he, her door stands open. The
great commercial port Of Talien-Wan
has been made free to the commerce OF
the world by formal proclamation.
mo determinations are made
against the commerce of foreign coun-
tries, and Russia enjoys no special
privileges at this port"
Concerning the identity of Russian
and American interests in China, Count
Cassini said Russia was now buying
rails and railroad supplies from the
United States to build the TransSibe-
rian Railway through Manchuria;
moreover, the ambassador pointed out
that there as elsewhere the traditional
friendship between the Russians and
the Americans existed.
AS TO European sentiment concern
ing the South African war, Count
Cassini said: "Of course all Europe is
watching this conflict with profound
interest and concern. But it is the in
terest of observers, and there is no
suggestion or thought of any interven-
ton or move Of any kind from outside
quarters. The loss Of life which is oc-
curing is particularly regrettable, and
it is TO the interest of all that peace
should be speedily restored"

Once more our banner waves
Though runs the land with hero blood

4 STATEMENT BY GOMEZ.
Importance of the American Offer (
 S3,OOO,OOO for the Army.

Havana, April 1S.-To-day General Gomez issued statement briefly re- viewing the circumstances of his re- moval by the recently dissolved mili- tary assembly from the post of com- mander-in-ch together with the con- ditions of his reinstatement and his rea- sons for accepting the delicate charge of assisting in the distribution of the $3,000,000 offered by the United States government" The statement continues in part on these lines: With the as- sistance and good will of all we can count upon this, the American offer, to work for peace and to initiate a true re- construction that will reclaim our be- loved country and all that conscience imposes upon the nation can be accom- plished, thus realizing our exalted as- pirations to be republic of fraternity and good order. The combined efforts of all are needed to place us upon the highway to this achievement and to pro- mote the taking of measures indispensa- ble for crowning a grand work in Cu- ba." Discussing brigandage to-day, General Gomez said: "All men are not angels, and hungry men will feed.''

BUBONIC PLIGUE'S RECORD. 25O, ,OOO Deaths from It in India Since
 Its Beginning,

Bombay, April 1S.-According to sta- tistics gathered regarding the bubonic plague, it is established that there have been 250,0O0 deaths recorded in India since it's beginning. These figures, however, are undoubtedly far below the actual total, as the natives are known to have concealed quite a number of deaths. Bombay presidency suffered the most, being responsible for 134 900 deaths, without counting those which occurred in the city of Bombay which, with Kurracke, was the chief hotbed of the disease. With the return of hot weather, the plague, which is now in it's third epidemic, is again rapidly disap- bearing. The mortality. which was, 250 daily in the city of Bombay five weeks ago, has now sunk to 100 per day, and the government has dropped the rigor- ous oppressive measures which, 1t has been found, 1t is impossible to maintain definitely in the face of the resignation of the natives. Bengal has suffered to some extent, including Calcutta, but the situation has not been grave and the spread of the plague is now decreas- ing. The Haffkine fluid has been very successful.

THE SAMOAN CoMMIsS1oNERs.
Instructions to Them COmpIeted-Are
 Alike in All Essential Respects.

Washington, April 1S-The instruc- tions to the Samoan commissioners have been completed. They are alike in all essential respects. They were summed up to-day by one of the high commits sioners substantially as follows: The commission is given complete authority to carry on a provisional government for Samoa. In doing this the instruc- tions carefully prescribe the preserva- tiOn of order and the security of life and property as a first requisite. It is provided that the duties of all officials heretofore exercising authority in Sa- moa either under the treaty of Berlin or in the service of either of the gov- ernments shall be suspended in order that the high commission shall have complete authority over the affairs of the island. The commission is required to make report upon variety of things including the recent collisions and the causes leading up to them also to the administration of the islands, the rights of the several claimants to the king ship, also to what changes are desirable
 
 of Berlin. The instructions call for unanimity of all actions by the commits sion. The action taken by the commits sion when unanimous is to become con- elusive without referendum except when it suspends a provision of the Berlin treaty. In that case also a provision of the treaty may be suspended by unani- nous agreement of the members, but the suspension is adopted referendum, and is not finally binding until the three governments approve or disapprove it. The exact extent to which the treaty can be temporarily suspended is not quite clear, and one of the commission CTS said to-day that it would require consultation among the commissioners to make this point certain. The in- structions are broad enough to include the recent troubles, the bombardment fighting, arrest of German citizen, etc., so that these acute phases, as well as the general government of Samoa will be adjusted without further conflict be- tween the three governments. In con- nection with the statement made in the British house of commons yesterday, that there was sworn evidence that a German had melted the natives to am bush the anglo-American party, it is stated in official German quarters that if any German has been guilty of such action the German government will punish him.
 instructions have been sent to the commander of the German warship Fake to see that the accused is held un- til the facts can be established
