ERMASY DISPLEA SED.
Austrian Fmperor's Reference to an
 Entente With Russia.

Berlin, May 14,-Political circles in Germany are much dispensed at the re- ply of Emperor Francis Joseph to the address of Herr Jaworski and Herr Szilagyi, presidents of the Austrian and Hungarian delegations respectively. The passage in which the Austro Hun garian ruler declared steady entente with Russia on the subject of Oriental questions necessary and that in which he referred to such an entente as a good complement to the Austro- Hunga- rian alliance with Germany are partic- .ularly criticised.
 Emperor William and the German for eign office had not expected such an emphatic bid for Russian favor so soon after the return of Emperor Francis Joseph from Berlin. Political circles here say this must be the consequence of Germany's refusal to enter with Austria upon binding engagements bearing upon future Oriental complica- tions. It Is also asserted that Prince Won Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, and Count Von Buelow the foreign min ister, acting at the explicit wish of Elm peror William, have left no doubts in the mind of Count Goluchoswki. the ustro-Hungarian foreign minister, that Germany wishes her hands free in the case of prospective troubles in Macedonia and elsewhere, partly owing to Germany's friendly entente with Turkey.

London, May 19, 345 a. m.-Nothing definite has been heard about the ex- pected relief of Mafeking. The Cape Town correspondents continue to wire that relief is imminent, fixing Tuesday or Wednesday as probable dates. h. quirers at the war office are told that the news of the relief will be made public immediately upon it's receipt No word had come to hand at mid night. The latest supposition concern ing General Hunter is that possibly he is marching up the north bank of the Vaal with force sufficient for co-op- eration with Lord Roberts to render Boer defense of the Vaal frontier inn practicable.

Compromise Measure Passed by the
 NInssachusetts House.


 Boston, May 14.-The lower branch of the Massachusetts legislature to-day passed a compromise resolution on the Boer war, congratulating President Me Kinley upon the attitude which he has maintained, with an amendment ex- pressing a hope that peace might soon be declared with honor for Great Brit ain and independence for the republics.
 The resolution had its inception some three months ago, when Representative Watson, dem., of Boston, introduced one congratula ting President Kruger upon his attitude towards Great Britain. Af- ter hearing the committee on federal relations reported it, but substituted President McKinley's name for that of President Kruger. Representative Wat son then offered an amendment ex- pressing the hope that peace might soon be declared, and it was on this amend ment that the house debated. After nearly two hours of warm discussion the amendment was finally adopted and the resolution passed by vote of 9S to

MORE ARRESTS IN HAVANA
POSTAL FRAUDS FAR GREATER
 THAN FIRST INFECTED.
Postmaster Thompsom, of the Havana Oflcr, Removed and Two Stamp sellers Taken Into Custody-Othcr Men Under Close Surveiliance-PoIu
 Assistant Postmaster General Going
10 Cuba.

Havana, May 14-The extent of the postal frauds is far greater than what was originally expected. Besides talk ing in the postal department the frauds seem to include the local office at Ha- vana and various other offices through out the island, and also to have extend- ed to outside points which have been used for the sale of some of the old issue of stamps that were ordered destroyed
 The result of the investigation at the local postofIice is the suspension Of Postmaster Thompson, who was install- ed in April of last year. He will re- main at his own house for the present. MCya and Mascara, stamp sellers in the main office, have also been arrested and further arrests are expected tomorrow. As many as six others have been placed under the closest supervision, and they will be arrested as soon as their services can be spared. As a matter of fact, # they were all to be suddenly relieved of duty it would not be possible to carry on the postal department from Havana.
 Messrs Reeves and Reynolds, the auditors of the postal department, are still under arrest at their own rooms in charge of detectives. Special quar- ters will, however, be prepared in some fortress, where all the prisoners con- nected with the frauds will be taken as soon as arrested

 tiono Destroycd-Roberts' Horsemen
 Eighteen Miles North of Kroonstad.
 London, May 19--3:45 a. m.-General Buffers turning of the Biggarsberg po- stion was effected by bold movement. The Boers had evacuated Helpmaakar, but were making a stand on Monday evening at Bleskoplaagte, seven miles from Dundee. The correspondents on the spot regarded this as rear guard action intended to cover the retreat of the army. At the same time General Hildyard took Indoba; and it is report ed that the Boers withdrew in disorder
 General Butler, who seems to be em- ploying his full strength is expected to push on. His first marches were forty five miles in three days. He is thus breaking into British territory which had been administered for six months by the Transvaalers as though it were part of the republic they holding courts and levying taxes His success, there fore, has political as well as military consequences.
 While Lord Roberts infantry are con- centratng at Kroonstad, where they will rest for day or two, his h0rsemen have penetrated eighteen miles north ward. In the squadron whuch cut the railway fifteen miles beyond Kroonstad was the American scout Frederick Burnham. Two hundred Boers who had hidden in the river jungles near Kroonstad to escape service, have sur rendered to the British and taken the oath of allegiance
 According to dispatch from Bennett. Burleigh to the Daily Telegraph, dated Thursday, May 10, Paul Botha and Mac Donald members of the Free State Volksraad, demanded that the chairman should call meeting to sue for peace. as further resistance was suicidal and proposed to make President Steyn a | prisoner.
 East of Bloemfontein General Bundle ! is advancing toward Ladybrand. His | troops and those of General Brabant | are stretched over a distance of thirty | miles. The Boers are described as quite disorganized and as retreating north ward" President Steyn's lieutenants are trying to rally them.
 The same stories of disintegration come from nearly every point where thS English correspondents are. MT. Hell 1awell, formerly a correspondent at Ma feking, who was put over the Transvaal border telegraphing from Lourenzo MaroueZ Sunday saws:
 Judging from talks I have had with the Boers, the end of the war will come in a month or six weeks. Mr. Steincamp chairman of the second raad who travelled with me, said that if the burghers were pressed from Pretoria they would retire to the district of the Lydenberg mountains, which had all ready been provisioned. He remarked that he hoped the burghers would stand firm but he feared they were too broken in spirit.
 T gathered from him that the whole available force of the Transvaal was now in the field, the final commandeer- ing having taken place last Thursday, and that it is only the powerful mag netism of President Kruger that keeps the burghers together"

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Proceedings of the State Convention
Held mt Columbus.

Columbus, o., June 13.-The Demo-
cratic state convention was called TO or
der at the Auditorium by the Hon. w. s.
Thomas of Springfield, chairman of the
state central committee.
After prayer by Rev. John Hewitt,
Chairman Thomas addressed the conven-
tion on the work of the last year and
the prospects for the present political
year. The following temporary organiza-
tion was announced Chairman, Webster
T.. Huntington of Columhus; secretary,
Louis Rccmelin of Cincinnati, and SER
geant-at-arms, John McGarty Of Def
ance. Chairman Huntington was recciv-
rd with great applause and made the
keynote speech OF the convention.
The platform dcnounccs trusts and
monopolies, fayors the removal Of all du-
ties from imports monopolized by trusts
and also demands the enactment and en-
forcemcnt Of such legislation rs will pre-
vent every species of discrimination. 1t
denounces the currency law passed by
the present congress, which transfers to
the banks the entire control of the paper
currency, thus laying the foundation for
money trust which will have power to
control the prices of all property and to
stimulate or strangle business" Contin-
uing, it says:
I'VE reaffirm our adherence to the
Democratic national platform adopted at
Chicago in 1896. But new and grave is
sues have arisen, threatening the safety
of free government itself, which should
command at this time the most serious
attention Of all patriotic citizens.
I'VE enter our protest against the doc
trine that the president or congress can
govern acquired territory outside and in
dependently of the constitution of the
United States as doctrine utterly sub
yersive of every foundation principle of
our government. y =
I'VE denounce the Porto Rican tariff
bill as palpable violation of the doc
trines of the fathers and of the funda-
mental principles of our government,
which is based upon equal rights to all.
I'VE affirm anew our undiminished
faith in the acknowledged leader of our
party, William ]. Bryan, and demand his
nomination at Kansas City for president
of the United States, and the delegates
elected by this convention are instructed
to so cast their votes"

STREET CAR MEN FIRM
All Negotiations to Settlement Of st.
Louis Strike Off.
G0MPERS is GOING THERE.
In Labor Circles This Is Looked
ON as n Sure Sign That the
Fight Will BE Pressed
to Limit. lAki

st. Louis, June 13.-All negotiations
looking to a settlement of the street rail
way strike are off, and the officers of the
Transit company Go not expect any fur
ther attempt to reopen negotiations to
end the trouble. The street car men are
as firm in their attitude as ever. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, is expected here this
week, and his coming is looked upon in
labor circles as a sure sign that the fight
against the Transit company will be
pushed to the limit.
Sheriff Pohlman and Chief of Police
Campbell express the opinion that there
will be no more rioting. They are CON
tidant that their combined forces will be
able to prevent any further lawlessness.
Chief Campbell says: Il am now of the
opinion that the worst is over and that
there Is no need of calling out the state
militia. The shooting of those men on
Sunday has given those inclined to riot
ing to understand what they are to eX-
pect and, | believe, will result in greatly
relieving the situation.
I'VE have withdrawn the police from
several of the lines and so will continue
as fast as we consider it safe. There
may be some trouble ut night in the eX-
tremc southern and northern portions of
the city, but the police and posse men
will be able to cope with it,"
The service has been extended to a
number of lines at night.
Sheriff pohlman's posse has almost
reached the number, $500, asked for by
the police board.
Deputies In Disfavor.
The strict enforcement of law that has
marked the service of the different COM
panies of deputies has brought them into
disfavor with strike sympathizers in vari-
Gus parts OF the city. The deputies are
made to suffer the inconvenience of a
systematic boycott in many localities.
They are unable to buy anything to eat
or drink. The sheriff has made prepara-
tons to feed his men at their respective
stations.
Henry G. Brown, stationary engineer
who was sworn in a member of the
posse, says the neighbors have looked
upon him as an enemy of the laboring
man and have not given his family a mo-
ment's rest He has been given leave
of absence to return home with his gun
and protect his family.
An inquest over the bodies of Edward
Thomas and George Rine, victims of
Sundays riot at Washington avenue and
Sixth street, has begun.

The Cuban Postal Frauds.

Havana, June 13.-The Post publishes
sensational story connected with the
postal frauds. 1t says it has an attested
communication from Fred Spencer, the
hospital nurse who attended Inspector
Maynard during his last illness, alleging
that the patient was called upon by two
postal officials who persuaded Mr.. May.
nard, when he was in a semiconscious
state, to sign important postal docu.
ments. The next day the patient died.
Spencer expresses the belief that the Sc
curing of the signature must have been
a very important matter, as two men
holding such positions as those held by
the callers would not have risked con.
tracing yellow fever for any light rea.
son. Spencer, the paper announces, gives
the names of the men in question, but
The Post does not publish them, simply
saying that both are prominently connect.
