Douglas. He left last night, but re-
turned again today and was holding a
meeting at the home of E. H. Leiby.
when the officers went there and took
him to the depot, followed by jeering
mob of several hundred. He was a
target for apples, tobacco guilds, mis-
siles and kicks, as he was escorted to
the depot, and when he arrived there
he was pitiable sight. The passenger
train was missed by about two min
utes, and while they were waiting for
the next train the mob went to the
home of E. H. Leiby and took him and
Frank. Calver, both Zion followers,
and marched them to the depot. When

SOLDIERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Americans Have Begun Construction OF
Permanent Telegraph Between
Tien Tsin and Pekin.

London, Sept. 1S.-In accordance
with the prediction of Sir Robert Hart
that there will be further hostilities
in China in November, the press un.
drestands that the British government
is already considering the transfer Of
troops from South Africa to India in
order to make it practicable to send
more British troops to China. The
military authorities consider the war
in South Africa SO far ended that
troops may now be safely moved.
1t is possible that the Russian lega-
tion has already been removed from
Pekin to Tien Tsin, but there is no
definite news as yet as to whether Lii
Hung Chang will after all go to Pekin.
General Dorward is going to the cap1-
tai, leaving the British troops at Tien
Tsin under command of Brigadier. G en-.
eral Campbell. Vice.Admiral Alex
Jeff has returned to Takg.

FIVE THOUSAND DEAD
The Galveston Victims Will
Reach That Number.
BODIES STILL sTREW THE BEACH
Hundreds Burned and Buried at Sea-
Thirty-five Hundred Refugee.
Arc at Houston.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE Post
today prints list of 2,701 names of
the Galveston dead, compiled from var.
ious sources, but believed to be authen-
tic. There were hundreds of bodies
burned and buried in the sea and in
the sand, where no identicfcation was
possible. Other hundreds were buried
on the beach of the mainland, few of
whom have been identified. Some
bodies are still in the ruins of Calves
ton and scattered along the beach of
the mainland and in the marshes,
where they were thrown by the water.
Some of these bodies have been sent 20
miles inland along small water courses
by the rush of high waters. TAX ing
all things into consideration there
seems no longer any doubt that the
numb Der of dead will reach beyond th Q
estimate of 5000 which has been made
by Mayor Jones and other reliable citi-
zens of Galveston.
About 1900 refugees arrived here
from Galveston last night and are being
cared for as well as possible. Four
buildings have been set apart for the
benefit of rufgees, but of the $500 who
have reached here SO far not more than
800 remain a public charge, the re-
mainder having gone to the homes of
relatives and friends.
Agents of several insurance compan-
les are passing through to Galveston.
They say that there is certain to be
much confusion. They do not know
what action will be taken by the COM
panies concerning the payment of
claims without proof of death, which,
in many cases, will be impossible.
Contributions of money continue to
come in, as do supplies of all sorts.
E. D. Dorchester, manager of the
Velasco Terminal railroad has reached
this city. He says three-fourths of the
Velasco people lost their homes and
four persons were drowned. Eight
bodies were washed ashore at Sulf
Side, supposed to be from Galveston.

AGAINST COLUMBIA.
Award of the French President on the
Boundary Question.


Award of the French President on the
Boundary Question.
Washington, Sept. 19.-The minis
ter of Costa Rica at Washington, Sem
or Calvo, has received cablegram
from the minister of Costa Rica at
Paris, which conveys the information
that the president of the French repub-
lie, M. Loubert, who was the arbitra-
tor appointed to decide the boundary
question between Costa Rica and CO.
lombia, by his award of yesterday,
fixed the boundary limit between the
two countries on the Atlantic side at
Mona Point and on the Pacific side at
Punta Barica. The republic of Colom-
bia claimed that the limit should be
fixed at Cape Gracias Adios. on the At
lantic, including the whole of Costa
Rica and the Nicaraguan Atlantic
coast, and that the limit on the Pacific
side should be placed at Boruca river,
to the northwest of Colo Dulce, which
would have given Colombia right to
half the territory of Costa Rica and
about two-thirds of that of Nicaragua.
Costa Rica claimed the old limits be-
tween Central America and Colon bia,
placed at the Island of Escudo de Ver-
aqua, on the Atlantic, and the river
Chiriqui Viejo. on the Pacific. The
award fixes the boundary line on the
Pacific side at Punta Barica, as claim
ed by Costa Rica, and on the Atlantic
denies the right of Colombia to any
pa1t of the territory of Nicaragua or
any portion of that of Costa Rica be-
yond Mona Point.

Brutal Murder of Portland Saloon
Keeper-Motive Was Robbery
Portland, Or, Sept. 18.-A brutal
murder, followed by robbery. was COM
mitted at an early hour yesterday
morning in a saloon on the southwest
corner of Fourteenth and Marshall
streets, H R. Dickel. the proprietor Of
the place, being the victim.
Although the tragedy occurred about
2 O'Clock, nothing was known of it un-
til nearly 4, when Partolman Wheeler,
on his regular rounds, was passing the
premises. He noticed that the saloon
was lighted up, which was something
unusual, and he proceeded to investi-
gate. On entering little cardoom at
the rear, he found the body of the
murdered man in a corner, leaning
against the wall. where the murderers
had placed it after rifng the pockets
and helping themselves to the contents
of the safe, which it is thought
amounted to over $3.50.

INTENTIONS OF KRUGER.
It IL Said He will Set Up His Govern
ment in Mozambique.

mcht III uAoLAuDi4ucs
Ne York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The Mails correspondent in Louren-
CO Marques learns that Mr.. Kruger has
resigned the presidency of the Trans
vaal, but remains member of the ex-
ecutive. General Botha is said to have
been SO incensed at the cowardly con-
the supreme command, and Viljoen is
now commandant-general. According
to Lisbon message to the Express,
Mr.. Kruger proposes to set up the seat
of his government at Mozam bique.
News from the seat of war in South
Africa is indecisive, but it is clear that
Lord Roberts is making concentrated
movement upon Komatipoort. and has
left Pretoria in order to direct it per.
sonally. Ian Hamilton is returning to
the railway from Lydenburg; Pole
Carew is pushing east towards Mel,
spruit; French is making for Barberton,
and Butler has divided both his forces
and cut off a portion of them from
communication with the commandos
between Nelspruit and Komatipoort.
Lydenburg APPARENTLY was abandoned as
soon as it was captured, and the Brit
ish forces are in hot pursuit of the rem
nant of the Boer army. and driving it
eastward to the Portuguese frontier.
These tactics are bold, but in accord
ance with Lord Roberts strategy since
February. Komatipoort is the new
objective point, and when it is captured
Lord Roberts will be credited with
having taken possession of the last
Dutch railway line and closed the door
into neutral territory. The work of
pacification will not have been
thoroughly worked out, but the main
object will have been secured, as was
done when Blomefontein and Pretoria
were occupied.

Revrad. For american Head.. .

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 17.-Among
the advices brought by the Breconshlre
from China were stories of the arrest of
Chinese with the heads of foreign SOL
diers in sacks. 1t seems that head
money of so taels is paid for each head.
This fact was brought to light by the
discovery of tie private papers of Vice.
roy Yu Lu, of Tien Tsin. In his day
book there is an entry which reads:
"Taels, 100, paid for the heads of two
American marines killed in the ad-

suance of the circular thousands of
women who held trading stamps issued
by the various stores doing business
with Buntty have besieged him and
made his life unbearable. He has
been compelled to barricade himself
and seek aid to prevent summary
action on the part of the infuriated
women.

NATIVE TROOPS.
Question OF Replacing Volunteer Troops
With Filipino Soldiers.


Manila, Sept. 17.-As the time ap-
proaches for the volunteers to leave
these islands and return to the United
States, in order that all may be mus
tered out there by June 80 next year,
the question of how to replace the de-
parting troops has brought the matter
of an armed native militia to general
notice.
For more than a year there has been
in the service of the United States a
detachment of native Macabebe scouts,
and their work has in the main been
satisfactory. 1t is argued that other
native fighting organizations can be
used with as good result as the Maca-
bebes, especially if the authorities take
advantage of existing tribal hatreds
and jealousies IN selecting native SOL
diery to operate against the Tagals.
In many of the village garrisons
throughout the islands, native inhabit-
ants are being employed as local po-
lice force to protect their own villages
against depreciation and attack from
robbers and other malefactors. These
local police are in some cases given
uI6dIIl6 anu uAliOTLASs anu thOy AA .
at times done effective work il the
limited field of action allowed them,
namely the protection of their homes.
They have also been used in operations
against the insurgents, both in Luzon
and in the Southern islands. In Leyte
they did good work two months ago
when they helped eight American SOL
diers repel persistent insurgent attack
upon their town, and two weeks ago,
near Lipa, 20 native policemen went
out alone against 40 insurgents. scat
turned proudly to their town with two
of their number wounded.
These are the beginnings of what
must eventually come to pass in the
Philippines, namely the organization
and use OF native soldiers to preserve
order in the Country. just how these
men will be organized and officered is
not yet decided; but Major Allen, OF
the Forty third regiment, on Samar
island, has lately been given permis-
sion by General Macarthur to organize
two companies of Visayans for use
against the insurgents, and Colonel
Kennon, of the Thirty-fifth regiment,
now stationed in Cabanatuan in the
Nueva Ecja, province of Luzon, has
been experimenting along the same
lines with Ilocanos from the northern
portion of Luzon island.
In Decem Der of last year, about 600
Ilocanos came to Colonel kennon, at
Cabanatuan, and asked to enlist under
the American flag. Colonel Kennon
at once opened negotiations with the
corps headquarters in Manila in tine
matter, and June l he was granted per-
mission to enlist SO Ilocanos as scouts.
During this intrim of six months the
600 men were employed as far as pos.
sible as road builders, ration carriers
and guides. The success of this first
detachment in the service will proba-
bly, soon lead to the enlistment of
other Ilocanos tribesmen.

ties.
The Germans report an engagement
with heavy force of Boxers west of
Pekin yesterday. The German loss is
said to have been 20.
Indications now point strongly to
the withdrawal of all the powers from
Pekin to Tien Tsin. The British have
issued an order prohibiting the selling
or renting of any building within the
limits of the British concession. Cen
eral Fukushima is here arranging VIM
ter quarters for the Japanese troops.

Tsin, and all nationalities are scram-
bling for buildings. One British bat
terry and 200 Australians have arrived.
Russians Push Into Manchuria.
Tien Tsin, Sept. IS, via Shanghai,
Sept. 19.-The Russians, it is rumored
here, are rapidly pushing through into
Manchuria, where all indications point
to extensive operations before the arri-
val of winter. They have suspended
work on the railroad to Pekin, which
adds to the complications. 1t is be-
lieved that their object in this is to
compel the other powers to consent to
the destruction of Pekin.
The Tu Liu expedition has returned
to Tien Tsin. The march back was
unoppos sed, and it is reported that the
Boxers have retired in force to a VII
lsge 80 miles up the Grand canal.
The Americans did not participate
in the burning and looting of Tu Liu,
and this caused considerable comment
among the other commanders.
The Sixth United States cavalry, it
is rumored here, has been ordered to
camp at Yang Tsum. up the Pei Ho,
with a view Of strengthening the line
of communication. The regiment will
take two heavy guns.
Twelve thousand Germans arrived

THE WRECKED CITY.


Galveston Slowly Recovering From the
Terrible Blow.
Galveston, Sept. 17.-More than
1000 dead bodies have been identified
and the estimate of Mayor Jones that
5000 souls perished in Saturdays hur-
ricane does not appear to be magni.
fed. The city is being patrolled by
troops and a semblance of order is ap-
pearing.
Though the city appears pitilessly
desolate. the authorities of the com.
mercial and industrial interests are
setting their forces to work, and a start
has at least been made toward the re-
sumption of business on moderate
scale.
The presence of troops has had a
beneficial effect upon the criminal
classes, and the fear of brief, but
desperate, reign of anarchy now no
longer exists. The saloons have at
least temporarily gone out of business,
and every strong. .limbed man who has
not his ow,, abode to look after is be-
ing pressed into service, SO that first
OF all the water service may be re-
sumed, the cutters flushed and the
streets lighted.
The further the ruins are dug into
the greater becomes the increase i'll the
list of those who perished as their
houses tumbled about their heads. On
the lower beach yesterday searching
party found score of corpses within q
small area, going to show that the bull
wark of debris that lies straight across
the island conceals many more bodies
than have been accounted for.
