HAVE NOT AGREED.
No Modus ViVendi as Yet in the
Alaskan Boundary
Question.

Washington, D. c., June 9.-Up to the
time the cabinet met today no word had
come from London to indicate that the
modus vivendi relative to the Alaskan
boundary had been signed. The technical
state of the case is that the British and
American sides had agreed upon the prin-
ciples, as it was supposed that should
govern in the arrangement.
This was based on proposition ema-
mating from the British side in its last
stage. This proposition was acceptable
to the United States, but in some points
1T was so vague as to warrant the APP
prehension that it might contain within
1t the germs of disagreement in the not
distant future. Therefore. in accepting
the British proposition in principle, the
United States specifically defined these
points IN manner to remove any posi-
blllty of double construction. If the
British government accepts this precise
statement, the modus will be an ac-
comphshed fact, and upon this accept
ance our government waits. 1t may
come at any moment and it is subject to
delay if there is a further reference to
Canada

NOT A FUGITIVE.
What the Leader of the Liberal
Party in Guatemala Has
to Saw.

San Francisco, Cal, June 1O.-AntoniC
Barrios, leader of the Liberal party Of
Guatemala, whose followers are striving
to place him on the presidential chair,
now occupied by Manuel Estrada Ca
brera, was a passenger on the Pacific
mail steamer San Jose from Panama.
He is d son of the late Gen. Rufino Bar
rios founder of the Liberal party of
Guatemala, whose term as president COW
cred a period of fourteen years.
Senior BarriOs, while admitting that his
residence in San Francisco was due TIC
political difference between his sympa-
thizers and the party in power, would not
acknowledge that he was forced to flee
from his country. Other passengers,
however, who arrived by the same steam
er, say that not only was he compelled
to take his departure, but President Ca
brera allowed him only two days to do
so. They say also that Guatemala is on
the verge of a revolution, which will
probably result in the downfall Of the
Cabrera government to the gain OF the
Liberals, who are almost unanimous IN
their choice of Antonio Barrios for presl-
dent.

BATTLE OPENED EARLY.
1t was a Hard Fight-SoIdiers Suffered
Severely.

Manila, June 1n-6 D. m.-Gen. Law
tons force con. ted of two battahons
each of the Iwentytrst and Ninth III
fantry, six companies Of the Colorado
volunteers, and detachment Of artillery.
The Nevada cavalry was under Gen.
Wheaton, and the Thirteenth and -Four
teenth infantry, the Fourth cavalry and
Il detachment Of light artillery were
under Gen. Ovenshine.
1t was scarcely dawn when the troops,
III a long, silent procession, wound VI
the hillside behind the American trenches
and formed skirmish line. Concealed
in the jungle, the advance rebel outposts
fired u few shots before being seen.
The opposing forces occupied two ranges
Of creScent-shaped hills.
The artillery, the Colorado infantry
and the Nevada cavalry swung around
the hilltop to the left and opened the
battle at o'clock. The rebels made nc
response from the hills and the Colorado
men cautiously advanced through the
thick grass until they were confronted by
a trench from which Il few weak yolIeys
were fired. a spirited response followed
and Il charge into the trench found it t.
be deserted.
In the meantime, part Of the Ihir
teenth and Fourteenth regiments formed
III SkirmiSh line, extending mile to the
right, and supported by the rest of the
regiments, swept down the valley and ZIP
the hillside, toward another trench. APP
preaching the morass seriously ham
pered the Fourteenth, and the rebels TAX
ing advantage of this, poured u CALLING
fire upon them for thirty minutes. The
Fourteenth was twice compelled to with
draw for the purpose of finding a safe
crossing in the swamp. Finally the
trench was entiladed on both TANKS. The
rebels fed to the woods and sustained Sc
we're loss.
Gen. Law ton then pushed his entire
command south, through the center of
the iSthmus until a few miles south of
Paranaque. when he swung around and
halted on account of the heat.
During the march Americans were
Frustrated on all sides owing to lack of
water and exposure to the sun, 1t is

HAS NOT ASKED Us.
Ambassador Choate Denies Re-
ceiVing Request that
We Mediate.

London, June lot is not improbable
that the crisis in the Transvaal will be
FASTENED today by some untoward Incl
dent at Johannesburg. j. B. Robinson,
the South African millionaire and mine
owner, received a telegram today from
his agent at johannesburg, saying the
situation there is most serious.
The agent added that mass meeting
of Uitlanders will be held today, in order
to confirm and support the proposals of
the British high commissioner, Sir AL
fred Miner. AS open-alr meetings are
not allowed without permission. it is not
improbable if the necessary permission is
not obtained, that the police will en-
deavor to stop the meeting.
The consensus of opinion among the
prominent Uitlanders and South African
capitalists in London is that the British
government is in a tight fix; that it can
not retreat from its position and that If
President Kruger does not recede. war IS
inevitable.
Regarding the suggestion that the Unit
ed States be asked to mediate between
the Transvaal and Great Britain, Joseph
H. Choate, the United States ambassa-
dor, says: while every good American
would welcome the possibility of helping
solution Of the present situation, we

proposed mediation by America"
An official of the foreign office, in con-
yersatlon with Il representative of the
Associated press, says sc have not
approached America, aer has America
approached US in this matter, and it is
very unlikely that America will be asked
to do anything of the kind, much as we
value the good feeling existing between
the two Countries

PEACE PLAN WILL FAIL
Such is the Opinion at Washington
Regarding Conference at
The Hague.

Washington, D. c., June 10.-Accord-
ing to private advices reaching here
from The Hague, there is grave danger
that one and all Of the arbitration
schemes before the conference will fail.
1t is said that Germany is markedly
hostile to the arbitration principle, and
is making an active canvass to secure
the support of some of the second-rate
powers in her opposition. If this move
ment is successful even III a limited de-
gree, it is feared that arbitration is
doomed SO far as this conference is con-
cerned, for to carry any weight and
show practical results, the delegates
must be nearly unanimous.
