be asked for.

three Gays ago say the Boer invest
ment lines then were thinning and
that the besiegers wero moving in
force toward the Tugela,s indicating
that collision was expected there.

prospect of renewal of the assaults

lily reinforced, and there is nothing
to indicate that this is the case.

BLUE JACKETS IN PEKIN.
tiOn of the Foreign Legation and
to Check the Boxers.

Shanghai, June 2.--The detachment
of over 300 international blue Jackets
has arrived at Pekin.
Washington, June 2.-The marines
that have arrived at Pckin are for the
purpose of protecting the foreign
legations in that city and to check
the designs of the Boxers so far as
they are able and compatible. 1t is
doubtless the party that left Taku
three days ago and includes the men
from the cruiser Newark that were
landed at that port. 1t is also pre-
sumed that the party includes the Rus
slams, Germans, French and British
marines that were reported 70 have
left Taku at the same time the men
from the Newark began their march.
The arrival of the marines is taken
as evidence that they were not OPP
posed by the hostile element that has
arisen. 1t is good three days march
from Talu to Peltin and had the blue
jackets been opposed their arrival
would have been delayed.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
to the Grnnddnurhter of n FOr-
mer Sweetheart, Aged IS.

Bowling Green, o., June 2.-One OF
the most romantic marriages that has
occurred in this city for some time
took place when Harrison cheney,
who is about 70 years of age, was
married to Miss Agnes May, aged Is
years. The marriage was in the way
of the fultilment of promise made
many years ago.
Cheney, when young man, lived in
q Pennsylvania town and was lover
of one who married another. She
took sick afterwards, and upon her
deathbed she asked Cheney to look
after little daughter. This he did
and she in time grew up and was
married. She was taken sick with
consumption, and, too, passed away
but not before she had pledged
Cheney to look after her little girl
then years old. His devotion to the
little child eliminated in the event
of Thursday night. Mr.. Cheney re-
Gently came here from Union City

REEVES ARRESTED.
The Confession Made by the Sup
posed Neely AccOmpIice Suspect
ed to BE Only Half the Truth.

Havana, June 3.-A warrant was
issued for the arrest of former Dep
uty Auditor w. H. Reeves, who was
lodged in Jail, his bail being fixed at
$500. IL is now believed that Reeves
in his so-called confession" only
gave half the truth. Indeed, the de-
lay in placing him behind the bars
was largely due to the desire of the
officials to obtain the remainder OF
his information regarding Neely's ev-
olutions.
A very important feature relates to
an allegation that Neely gave another
man $4,000. This. if true, can only
be established in the United States
and an inspector will leave Havana
shortly to investigate. Reeves asserts
that heavy mortgages were lifted
from the property of the accused
man by funds that could not have
been obtained in any other way thar
through Neely.
