Washington, Especial. THE dispatch OF
the British Channel Squadron to Gibraltar
and the presence in the Philippines OF an
American fleet, which will be the largest as
semblage OF United States warships since
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet of Santiago, are
connected here as indicating design on the
part OF Great Britain aud America to be
ready for any exigency growing out OF the
TransvHal or Samoan situation.
The purpose of either Government is not
clearly defined, but 1t can be gathered from
the attitude OF the nations to each other that
they would make common cause in case Ger
many. taking advantage OF EnglRnd's trou-
bic with the South African Republic or
Americas need for her feet in the Philip
pines, should attempt TO play higL-hauded
game Ia Samon.
There are Indications here already that It
is to the interest OF the Uuited States to
Keep watchful eye on the movements OF
Germany with respect to the Samoan Is
lands. England is known to have had prop
ositions nude to her In Berlin which are not
acceptable, and 1t IS within tho range OF
probabilities that Germany may Rttompt to
enforce her demands.
In that event the United States could not
be expected to desert England, and espc-
cially as Gsrmany's idea OF partition Of
the Islands is known TO be the possession OF
the whole group.
The officials here will not comment on the
situation in any alarmist way, but 1t can be
stated that there is nn official opinion, based
on the movement OF the British Channel
Squadron, that this movement by England
Is the most effective to check any hostile
movement OF Germany, and may be taken
rs notice to her that her game, whatever It
is, is being watched.
For publication, the officials in the Navy
and the State Departments do not express
the belief that there is immediate danger TO
come out OF II. The State Department OIL
tials content themselves with saying that
the Partition OF Samoa Is not a new idea. 1t
Is denied emphatically by the Department,
as printed in Germany, that the United
States has taken the initiative. On the con-
trary, the American Ambassador in Berlin
Is expected to advise this Government oil
Gsrmany's real Intentions at the earliest
moment practicable.
The naval officials say that the American
fleet In the Philippines Is In excellent shape
and In position to safeguard American in
terests wherever threatened.
Rear-Admirnl Richardson Clover, chief oi
the bureau OF naval intelligence, speaking
automatically and guardedly, said: Eng.
lands feet Is her great strength, and there
Is no telling when she might need 1t to meet
IN enemy other than In tho Transvaal. II,
for instance. Germany, or any other naval
power, should become involved in war with
England by reason OF complications in the
TraDsvanl, or elsewhere, England would
need her feet at home"

DOWN THE BoERs.
Maxim Guns Deadly Fire From an
Armored Train.

Armored Train.
London, (By Gable. )-There has been con-
siderable fighting the last three days at
MafekIng, Spytiontein and several other
points, but the censorship permits only mea.
ger information to come through the news
channels. Several startling dispatches were
published here. One from Cape Town stated
that three hundred Beers and eighteen
British had been killed in a battle at MAZE
King. Communication was temporarily
opened with Kimberley. A despatch from
that place stated that an atmored train, con-
tanning British troops, came upon force OF
Beers near Spytfontein. A sharp fight re-
suited, In which FIVE Beers were killed and
seven wounded The British, according to
the censored despatch, sustained no losses.
despatch from Cape Town gives the fol-
lowing version OF the fight:
"The nrmored train, with detachment Of
the Lancashires, approached unmolested
until within range, when the Beers opened
fire.
1.-THE Maxims wero instantly set 10 work,
and did great execution among the burgh-
ers. The latter also used artillery. but in
effectively. The armored train returned to
Kimberly unharmed.
THE crew OF the armored train say the
Beers fired thirteen shells, but their aim was
wretched, and not a single shot struck the
train, which then made bold to approach
nearer and opened fire with the Mnxlms.
1.-The burghers replied with heavy rifles,
again shooting wildly. Only three or four
bullets struck the train.
subsequently the crew learned that FIVE
Boer and two Boer horses were killed, while
several Beers and horses were wounded.
Not member OF the British force was so
much rs touched"
Delayed dispatches from Pretoria, proba-
bly, carried by couriers to points where the
censorship is not 50 rigid, state that In
fight at Mafeking nine British were wounded,
burgher killed and two wounded. A Brit
ish train londed with dynamite was blown
up by the Beers nine miles north Of Mafe-
king.

Twenty-Five Men, Imprisoned in n Burn
Ing CoIIisry, Rescued from Death.
Pottsville, Pa, Especial. IAN explosion
OF gas occurred at the Shenandoah City
Colliery, at Shenandoah, and flre imme-
diately broke out in the mine, hemming In
twenty-five men who were at work at the
time. Those attracted TO the surface OF the
mine i'y the explosion at once began vigor-
GUS efforts to rescue the imprisoned men,
and In this they were successful, all the men
being taken out alive In com pnratively short
time. Three OF the number, Adam Sobolin-
SKI, William Skavinski, and Joseph Caspav-
age, were seriously burned, and their in
juries may prove fatal. Several others sus-
tanned severe injuries.
The Shenandoah fire department was un-
successful In the efforts to subdue the fire
with water, and the mine officials then de-
cided on II more heroic plan. Several pounds
OF dynamite was taken into the gangway by
men skilled in the use OF the explosive.
The dynamite was exploded in the mine, and
the concussion extinguished the flre in
stantly. The colliery was thus saved.
