other order issued by President Powell
yesterday and at o'clock this morning
the men except the operator at Boydton
walked out. This OccaSiOned some little
delay on the road and trains were run
in several instances by telephone, while
others had red flags on the pilots of their
other delays due to washouts and the
like so that freight trains had hard
time of it during the day None of the
operators at this end of the line went
out, there being four of these, and neither

1t was impossible to see Superintendent
Hutchins OF this division, as he was down
the road, but when General Agent Lamb.

the operators had not paid any attention
TO the order of President Powell and
that the delay to traffic on his road was
due to accidents entirely. He did not
say that no operators had left their

HAY NOTIFIES STATE DEPARTMENT
Of the Ambulance Corps Action. How They
Tricked Uncle Sam.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

Washington, April 19.-United States
Consul Hay at Pretoria has notified the
State Department by cable of the report
ed action of the members of the Chicago
Ambulance corps in taking up arms in
the Boer army, instead of continuing
with the hospital corps to which they had
pledged themselves upon leaving the
United States.
Apparently the Portuguese authorities
at Lourenzo Marques had doubts as to
the actual neutrality of these men for
the party was detained many days at the
port before they were allowed to pro-
ceed over the railroad to Pretoria. The
dispatches stated that a letter from Miss
Barton turned the tide in their favor.
Miss Barton was said to have declared
that certain members of the party were
known to her and believed TO be going
under true colors. The officials here say
that nothing can be done by the Govern
ment to prevent such violations of faith
as are reported from South Africa. The
men did not go out with arms and so did
not fulfill the legal description of a
filibustering party which would have
enabled the United States authorities to
prevent their departure. Similarly, the
Portuguese authorities probably found
themselves obliged to let the unknown
men pass through Lourenzo Marques. and
it would appear that unless the British
Government can induce the Portuguese
to take a different view of their obliga-
tions, Portuguese, South Africa, will re-
main an open doorway for recruits enter
