REG1RD 1T AS CRITICAL.
Washington Officials Opinion of Situ-
aiion la the Irn nnsynnl.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The situation
in the Transvaal is regarded by officials
here as critical Thus far. however, the
state department has received no word
from any source concerning the strain
ed condition Of affairs, and there is no
disposition to take up the question of
neutrality and the care of our interests
in that locality unless the war issue is
actually framed. Charles Macorum is
the United States consul stationed at
Pretoria. He has sent a number of re-
ports, all of them dealing with CONNER
cial affairs, and has not touched on the
delicate political conditions existing.
The United States also has a consular
agent, j. H. Manion, at Johannesburg,
but he has not been heard from since
he was appointed. There have been re-
cent press reports from Johannesburg
that a colored blacksmith claiming to
to be an American had been roughly
handled by the field cornets and that
he had raised the question of his Amer
ican citizenship and had appealed to
the American representative. The state
department has been expecting to hear
from Mr. Manion on this case, but moth
ing has come thus far. Admiral Hodg-
sons return will probably shed much
light on the condition Of affairs in the
Boer country and the extent of Ameri-
can interests, for while the Chicago was
in South African waters the admiral
spent much time at Pretoria and Jo-
hannesburg. The admiral has at yet
made no report Of his movements.

SEIZED IN CUBA.
143 Carbines and Much Ammunition N
Intended for San Domingo.

Havana, Aug. 15.-Lieut Sthaum, COL
lector of customs at Baracoa. in the
province Of Santiago de Cuba, has seiz-
ed 143 carbines and $4,000 rounds of
ammunition that were evidently intend
ed for Santo Domingo, Twenty five
men, Cubans and Dominicans. arrived
there last Friday ON board the Mortern.
They had been kept under close watch,
as they are apparently planning to take
arms to Santo Domingo. The quantity
seized is not believed to be all that Is
secreted there. Major General Brooke
Is making every effort to check filibus-
tering. There is no truth In the report
recently circulated in the United States
that 400 men left the island not long
ago for Santo Domingo in one expedi-
ton. AS a mater of fact, almost every
man who has gone is known. The en-
tire number, excluding the twenty-five
now under surveillance at Baracoa is
thirty-seven. Not one carried more
than his personal outfit. All the collec-
tors have been duly notified from Ha-
vana to keep a close watch on the
twenty-five men who left this port on
the Mortura Consequently when the
landing was made at Baracoa it was no
surprise to headquarters here No at
tempt will be made to prevent them
leaving Baracoa if they do not try to
carry arms with them.

Il ANTI-IMPE ACTIVE.
Statement Issued Declaring League Has
Mndc Rapid Prugress

Boston, Aug. 15.-The anti-Imperialist
league at meeting to-day voted to is
sue a pronunciamento, which was given
out tonight through its president, Hon.
George S. Boutwell,. The document as
serts that the anti-imperialist movement
has made rapid progress in the past five
months and declares that:
This league is now carrying on the
contest, and it will continue to carry on
the contest upon the idea and in the
belief that the United States, the presi-
dent of the United States especially, is
responsible for the war, and that Presi-
dent Mckinley at any moment, or the
United States acting through him or
through a successor can bring the war
to an end. 1t is our purpose to aid in
bringing the war to an end and in ad
vance, we reject any and every scheme
of compromise.
"Our information and experience JUS
tify the opinion that the body of anti
imperialists the country over, will dis
regard the claims of domestic ques-
tions, subordinating them one and all to
a single purpose of comprehensive pub
lie policy--the purpose to bring the
army of the United States out of the
Philippine islands with the least possi
BILE delay and without delay to recog-
nize in the inhabitants of the Philip
pines, of Cuba and Porto. the right of
self government agreeable to the prin-
ciples of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and as a pledge of the permanent
policy of the United States"

Paris, Aug 15-As an anti-Semite
group was standing at the corner OF
Faubourg st. Denis and the Rue de-
Valenciennes, this evening, some pass
ers-by We're greeted with cries Of Down
with the Jesuits," whereupon they were
surrounded and threatened. A suppos-
ed anarchist then fired several revolver
shots, wounding three men. One of
them, a man named Camille was taken
to hospital seriously wounded. The
alleged anarchist was arrested.
M Wa1deck- Rousseau conferred sew
eral times during the day with M. Le-
pine, the prefect of police, and in con-
sideration of the fact that recourse
to force in the arrest of M. Guerin
might lead to a useless sacrifice Of life.
entailing still graver demonstration at
the obsequies of the victims, the premier
decided not to expose the life of sny
man, soldier, policeman or fireman, bS;
to leave M. Guerin a choice betweeas
while it looks as though this affair
would have rather tame ending. The
friends of M. Guerin are busying them
selves to rescue him from an impossible
and foolish position. Mr.. Stevens son
of the we'll known artist, obtained from
the government permit to enter M.
Gueru's house and advise him to sur
render at discretion, assuring him that
no one doubted his courage, but that
he ought not to compromise his friends
and the cause by placing human life at
stake.
There was considerable excitement.
accompanied by demonstrations and
scuff1es, in the Rue Chabrol In the
course of the evening and the police
made many arrests.
M. Guerin this evening displayed an
anti-Semite tri-color flag on the roof Of
the anti-Semite headquarters. On the
flag was a motto reading: "France for
Frenchmen."
At the annual banquet of Bonapart-
lists to-day NJ. Mignot presiding, tel
egram from Prince Victor Napoleon was
read saying he relied on the various
committees to act energetically under
the present grave circumstances. The
reading of the telegram was greeted
with shouts of "Vive l'Emperur," "Vive
Guerin." The Young Royalists also as
sembled at a banquet at St. Maur to-
day in honor of the name-day Of the
Duchess of Orleans. Violent attacks
were made on the recent measures Of
the government.
