Washington, May 31.-The following
cablegia am has been received at the Navy
Department from the senior squadron
commander, Admiral Kempff:
"Tong Ku tTaku). May SO.-Secretary
Navy, Washington: One hundred men
landed and sent TO Tien Tsin yesterday.
Fifty of these go to Pekin this day.
Other nations landed men 'fKempff."
The very smallness of the force which
the Admiral is sending at Minister Con-
gers request would, 1t is felt. facilitate
it's admission to the Chinese capital. for
it ttould not be regarded by the Chinese
government as a menace to Chinese in
tegrity.
The Admirars dispatch indicates that
he has not been able to take the flagship
Newark up the Pei-fIo river beyond the
Taku forts, just above the entrance.
From that point to Tien Tsin, which
stands at the head of light draft navi-
cation and is the terminus nearest the
sea of the railroad to Pekin, is distance
of about thirty-nve or forty miles. n is
said at the Navy Department that the
American marines were probably towed
in small boats. by the Newark's steam
launches up the river to this railroad con-
nection.
From Tien Tsin to Pekin by rail is q
distance of seventy miles. a three hours
journey, according TO Chinese scheduled.
The marines could cover it afoot in about
three days If unopposed.
The Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang,
called at the state department at an early
hour to-day to talk with Secretary Hay.
He was anxious for news.
what Foreign Diplomats Say.
Resident representatives OF nearly oil OF
the other nations interested in the Chinese
situation were among Secretary Hays
callers to-day. But, as in the case of the
Chinese minister, none of them had re-
celyed eny information from his own gov
ernment bearing upon the situation.

Cape Town, May 80, Wednesday. Upon
the occupation of johannesburg, Lord
Roberts, 1t is said, will Issue a proclama-
ton, denouncing the "maliciops fables,
regarding the intentions of the British,

Private property, 1t is added, will be
respected providing British property is not

destroyed, not only win the actual per-

rupted Mr.. Ray, Republican, of New
York, declares against trusts. But he is
a member OF Tammany Hall which is
running the New York Ice Trust"
Mr. Sulzer, with some heat, said it was
humiliating to hear Mr.. Ray plead as a
justification for the fraud and humbug
the Republican party were trying to foist
on the country, the fulminatons of a
newspaper clipping against the ice trust.
Seven-tenths of the stockholders of that
trust, he declared, were machine Repub
licans.
Mr.. Sulzer also characterized the PLAT
machine" as the most corrupt political
organization the country had ever known.
Still another exchange over the ice trust
took place between the two New Workers,
amid the greatest confusion.
Finally, Mr. Mahon. Republican, OF
Pennsylvania, dipped into the discussion
with The statement that a New York DEM
ocratic newspaper charged Mayor Van
Wyck and his brother, who ran for Gov
ernor, with being large stockholders in
the ice trust.
Every scoundrel in the trust" said he,
"seems to be a prominent Democratic
official of New York"
This statement drew the fire of Mr.
briggs. Democrat of New York, who
countered on Mr.. Nahon by charging that
Philadelphia was the "rottenest and most
corrupt city in the united states. IL Is
so bad,' he added that no Democrat
goes to the polls because he knows his
vote will lnot be counted"
Mr.. briggs recalled the McKane cleo
ton frauds, which he said were unearthed
by the Democratic officials. The Tweed
ring was brought to justice by Demo-
cratic Governor, said he. Democrats had
always fought corruption. and it was the
Democrats who were prosecuting the ice
trust now.
Among other speakers tonight were
Mr.. Kitchen, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, and Mr.. Lassiter, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia.
At 1890 the House adjourned until II

and after paying their respects to him
were escorted to the House. The guests
addressed the House briefly.
The envoys did not seem greatly de-
pressed by the news from Johannesburg
and Pretoria. Chairman Fischer pointed
out that the English forces have not cap
tured a single piece of artillery or any
considerable munitions OF war from us
since our men have been executing their
mastery retreat. Our guns. supplies.
etc." he added, "have been taken along
with our troops, and they will yet be used
effectually, If l am not greatly mistaken.
"The fact that President Kruger has
retreated to Watervalboven and that this
is declared the capital of our government
shows that our people are still determin-
ed to win their Independence. Our capi-
tai is where the President chooses to
make it.
THE fact that Lord Roberts annexed
the Orange Free NState the other day
means nothing The United States could
annex by proclamation, but something
more effective would have 10 follow to
make II a fact
Mr.. Fischer added the statement that
President Kruger would not surrender
while there was bullock cart and six
teen oxen in the Transvaal to transport
him from place to place.
Mr.. Vessels said that If President Kru-
ger had been going TO surrender he would
have remained in the city while the
Beers would not have carried away their
guns and ammunition if they had intend
ed to capituiate. Roberts, he said, may
yet run into a nice trap.
Amid a storm of applause long set of
resolutions expressing sympathy with the
South African republics and calling upon
the United States government TO repre-
sent TO Great Britain that this country A
opposed 10 the actions Of England in the
war in South Africa were unanimously

pie, short distance east of this city, at
o'clock this evening, by premature

would shoot the well, but it seems that the

! crowd rushed to see the shooting Of the
gusher. When they arrived at the der

went off with terrific force, wrecking
everything ana blowing the men in every

had to be picked up in pieces, and those

| All OF the victims are residents of this

so far as nurses and physicians and sup

One story as TO Why the Mines Were
Not Blown Up.
London, June 1.-The Daily Express
says:
'Mr. Kruger's London agent has invest
ed f140,OOO of the Presidents money In
land and mines. This took place before
the war broke out, and 60 this fact may
be ascribed the failure of the Transvaal
authorities to blow up the mines"
The Times says:
ANY further resistance the Beers may
offer will be futile. The collapse of the
Transvaal as a militant state may be re-
garded as complete. Threats of obstinate
guerilla warfare need not be taken more
seriously than the exp oded menace of re-
sistance at johannesburg and Pretoria.
"The formal annexation of the Trans
vaal will speedily follow. The war is
rapidly approaching its Close
