MUST STAY In HAVANA
RATHBoNE CANNOT VISIT THE
UNITED STATES AT PRESENT.
His Presence in Cuba Required Dur.
ing Investigation Of the Postal
Frauds-Reeves Out Of Jail.

XAvANA, June 2.-The rumors having
reached the authorities that Mr.. Rathbone
intended leaving the Island Of Cuba, he
was notified that his presence was abso-
iutely required in Havana until the inves-
tigation into the postal affairs had been
completed The postal officials now in
charge state there are most cogent reasons
why Mr. Rathbone should remain in Cuba,
even if they were compelled to resort to
force to keep him there. 1t Is understood
that additional important facts connecting
the officials with postal frauds have been
brought to the ears of the authorities who.
however, wish to avoid even the appear
ance of harshness in dealing with those
cases.
Mr.. Rathbone explicitly denies any inten-
ton of departing from Havana, but, not
withstanding this, a summons was issued
by one of the judges for him. which was
made returnable at the time the steamer
Havana sailed. The principal reason for the
issuance of the summons was TO obtain,
under oath. Mr.. Rathbone's statement re-
sarding Neely. The proceedings were held
in secret, only the judge, clerks, attorneys
and Mr.. Rathbone being present. What oc-
CURED at the hearing is not yet known.

of $3.50. which was deposited. The sum of

States this morning.

from the Preside, were close behind, en-
route to the Yosemite National Park. The
hold-up occurred at point two miles this
side of Grub gulch. where the country is
thicl<ly settled with chapparal. Sergeant
Buchanan and another trooper had gone
ahead of the cavalry to make arrangements
for selecting a camping place. The high
waymen suddenly appeared masked, and
getting the drop on the troopers, took away
their guns and held the troopers till the
stages arrived.
The robbers then took hat belonging to
T.. H Grifiths. of the South Pacific Com
pany, passenger on the stage, and collect
ed $3.50 from the passengers, after which he
ordered the driver to go on. Each stage
was successfully held up, the robbers get
ting about $3.50. The mail and express mat
ter was not molested.
Among the passengers robbed was Prof.

THE occupation of Johannesburg passed

'.Dr. Kraus met me on my entrance to
johannesburg and rode by my side TO the

me to the heads of the several depart

vhat they would continue TO carry on their
respective duties until they could be re-

wards the Suppression of the Box
ers i'm Country Districts.

LONDON, June 2.-Dispatches from Tien-
Tsin China, report that the Boxers have
grown very bold and are now not far from
that city. A cablegram. dated yesterday,
says: "The French consulate has received
information from priests at Pao-Ting-Fu
that thirty foreigners. including six wom-
en- and child. who were attempting to
escape from Pao-Ting-Fu to Tien-Tsin in
toats. were attacked by over seven hun
dred Boxers. armed with rifles and spears.
Many of the foreigners were wounded;
four were killed outright, but the fate
Of the remainder OF the party is unknown.
Having little ammunition. however. it is
considered impossible that they could hold
out against their assailants." Another dis
patch. dated to-day, says: 1.-The foreigners
who escaped from Pao-Ting-Fu are ten
miles from here. Four Of the party have
been killed and four are wounded. An ex-
petition is proceeding to their relief"
A cablegram from Picking, dated yester-
day, says: American and other foreign
guards. numbering $40, arrived here in the
midst OF the dragon festival. The streets
were crowded and though the people were
greatly interested In the annual spectacle
no manifestation of hostility was made
The presence Of the guards has already
had marked effect on the bearing of the
Chinese toward foreigners. The excitement
III the adjacent country has been much
allayed, but many Christian refugees are
still fiocking into the city. The Boxers are
evidently moving afield. Unfortunately no
leaders OF the Boxers have been arrested,
though their capture would have been
easy. All the government has done has
been to occupy the scenes of the disturb
ances and no real repressive measures have
been taken.'
Shanghai reports that the Empress dow
ager has ordered the governor of Shan-Si
to arrest Lin, the Chinese manager of the
Peking syndicate; Kia, chief of the Shan-Si
commercial bureau. and Fan, a leading
banker. on the ground that they are dan.
serous characters. but really because they
are connected with British enterprises.
