GETTING READY TO MOVE
The Post Office Department to Go Into the
New Avenue Building.

The Post Office Department is all ready to
move into the building, and prepara-
tions were commenced today to make the
transfer of the records and paraphernalia
Of the department.
At its last session Congress appropriated
10000 for moving, and the appropria ton
lapses with the end of the present fiscal
year, June 30. 1t is to save this that active
measures have been taken to carry on the
work. A committee composed of Messrs.
George F. Stone, A. w. Bingham, C. b.
keene and G. n. Dalzell was named today
by the Postmaster General to act In con-
cert with a similar COMMITTEES from the
Treasury Department to make all neces-
sary arrangements for the removal of the
effects OF the Post Office Department. as
well as those of the sixth auditors office
Both these departments are ready almost
any day to make the transfer, but the
building is not quite ready for them. 1t is
expected that the 18th of August will be
moving day. The object in making ar
rangements at this time is to have all con-
tracts made before the appropriation
lapses.
Assistant Secretary Taylor of the Treas
ury Department said today that the new
pest office building is practically COM
pleted, and is ready for the Post Office De-
partment at any time the officials of that
department are ready to move Il pre-
sUmed that they had already begun 10
move said Mr.. Taylor "as everything has
been ready for them some time A few
minor pieces of work remain to be done
but these will not interfere with the moving
ard can be done any time"
Mr.. Taylor says that he has changed his
mind about assigning the eighth floor to
the bureaus of ethnology and statistics. He
said that the ninth floor had originally been
set aside for the files and documents of the
Post Office Department and the auditor for
the Post Office Deparement. The super
vising architect has declined to allow more
than $50 tons of matter on the ninth floor.
and this will necesstate the use of the
eighth floor for files and documents The
attention of Congress will be called to the
matter

JAPAN BACKS UP CHINA,

Offers to RehabIlitate the Navy of
Conquered Nation.
SAN FRANCISCO, June IA Seattle
special says:
"A we'll authenticated story comes from
Japan to the effect that all of the men-of-
war captured from the Chinese in the late
war between the two countries are to be
returned to the Chinese government. This
is part of the policy decided on by Japan
to protect her neeighbor from the inroads
of the powers. 1t is said that the only re-
qurements to be made is that China invest
so many millions in new war vessels to be
built under Japanese directions.
The Japanese government sends out noti-
fication that the government naval yards
will no longer do repair work on foreign Or
native merchant men, except in cases of
emergency. 1t is pointed out that private
docks have been constructed sufficient to
do the work.
The Hong Kong papers see trouble ahead
II the Dowager Empress and GeneraHssimo
Junglu insist upon holding the proposed re-
view of 200,O00 Chinese braves at Peking.

bullets from their rapid-fire guns at the
enemy.
The Filipino force engaged appears to
have been the largest and best organized
body of men which has met our troops.
The Americans are compelled to advance
along narrow roads and over small bridges
commanded by earthworks ten feet thick.
Fight Continued All Day.
The fighting at Las Pinas continued hotly
all day long. Gen. Lawton called out the
whole force of 5000 men, and at o'clock
he was only able to push the insurgents
back 500 yards to the Seapote river, where
they are entrenched. The insurgents re-
sisted desperately and aggressively. They
attempted to turn the left flank Of the
American troops. The American loss is
conservatively estimated at sixty. The bat
tie continues.
Gunboats Shell the Rebels.
At daylight today the rebels at Cavite
Viejo dropped two shells from big.

church into the navy yard. The only dam

Callao. Manila and Mosquito then proceed
ed to dismount the gun.
After breakfast the rebels opened fire
along the beach to Bakoor.
After silencing the big gun at Cavite
Viejo the gunboats ran close along the
shore, bombarding the rebel position. The
rebels replied with rifle fire and with the
fire of some small pieces Of artillery So
vigorous was the enemy's fire that at 9:2O
am. the gunboat Helena joined the small
gunboats already named and the Prince
ton, Monterey and Monadnock, from their
anchorages. dropped occasional big shells
among the rebels.
Only Incited the Insurgents.
This, apparently. only served to incite the
rebels, they kept up an incessant fire of
the Zapote river, two miles north of
Bakoor. The fire of all seven warships was
concentrated on this point shortly after
noon, when the upper bay presented the
appearance of being the scene of a great
naval battle. The rebels were eventually
forced to abandon their guns after holding
out for about four hours. only to be con-
fronted by Gen. Lawton's force on land
and in their rear, where there was heavy
fighting.
Beyond the destruction of several build
ings along the water front, the effect of
the bombardment is not known.

IDAHO MINING PRISONERS.
They Have Not Been III-Treated Inv
MiIitary Authorf1ies,

Some days ago charges were made that
the prisoners of the Idaho mining strikes
had been ill-treated by the military au-
thorities. The matter being brought to tine
attention of the President he directed that
an investigation be made. General Mer-
riam has just telegraphed the department
the result of his inquiry. He says that
when he left Wardner on May 25 he re-
ported the sanitary condition of the prison
as beyond complaint. The main building
was provided with comfortable hunks off
the ground, with abundance of hay for the
prisoners to sleep on, besides their blankets
and overcoats. The building was heated
by stoves and there was a large court
yard for exercise. The prisoners General
Merriam said, were comfortably housed
and better fed than the troops One man
was seriously Ill, and he was sent to a
hospital in the town. The general gave
personal attention to the condition of the
men, although this was not a part of his
duty, the prisoners being really those of
the state and not of the United States
military authorities. The attending sur
geon, who has long experience in the
mines, said the percentage of sick at that
miners, being only four out of three hum
dred and thirty. The latest sanitary re-
port received by General Merriam from
Captain Leavell dated June 10, reports
ten sick, one seriously, out of 335. One
death has occurred. AS to the prisoners
being denied counsel, General Merriam
says he has no information, but suggests
that inquiry in that direction be made of
state authorities

Me1kle1Ohn Regarding Debt Decrees
A delegation, representing the infiuent' al
creditor class of Cuba, held an extended
conference at the War Department today
with Acting Secretary Meiklejohn, concern

Der of the delegation stated that 1t repre-
sented some $50 900 600 of invested capital

about Havana, including very extensive
holdings in the bishopric of Havana,
amounting to about s60O0,OO0. The party
included Messrs. Ffedel G. Pierra, chair

Mr.. Galbis is a son of the president of the

Inc conference lasted something over an

Rumor That Mr.. Chamberlain Will
Leave British Ministry.
DISAGREEMENT oVER TRANSVAAL
Hitch in Canadian Boundary Case
May Be Due to This
STATEMENT EXPECTED SOON

LONDON. June 13.-Special Importance is
attached to the cabinet council which took
place this morning. 1t lasted q couple of
hours, and it is believed the ministers final
ly determined upon the policy to be adopted
toward the Transvaal The secretary of
| state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain,
is expected to make definite statement on
the subject in the house of commons this
afternoon unless the rumors of his resig-
nation turn out to be true.
AS curious coincidence, Mr.. Chamber
lain was absent from the house yesterday
and today it was announced that he and
his wife will start for Paris and Lausanne
during the course of the week It is quite
unprecedented for Mr.. Chamberlain to leave
the country during the session, and this, in
conjunction with the talk of a disagree
ment in the cabinet over the Transvaal
was taken to mean that Mr.. Chamberlain
had decided to leave office. Later, how
ever, an authoritative denial was made of
the report that Mr.. Chamberlain was going
to the continent.
Effect on the Canadian Question.
The situation remains the same as to the
pending modus vivendi. fixing the Alaskan
boundary. Nothing has been heard defin-
ftely from London to indicate that the Brit
ish government has accepted the American
tender The intimation contained in this
mornings London dispatches of a possible
change in the British cabinet, involving the
retirement Of Mr.. Chamberlain as minister
of the colonies, affords to the minds Of the
officials here possible explanation Of the
delay in the matter of a modus vivend
Mr.. Chamberlain only recently connected
himself directly with the negotiations, and
it was supposed to be in a large measure
due to the confidence reposed III him by
Canadians that the negotiators We're able to
approach an agreement Now, if Mr. Cham
berland is to retire, it is quite conceivable
that there may be difficulty experienced by
Lord Salisbury in finding at once suit
able person to carry forward the negotia-
tions on this rather abstruse subject.
