TO MAKE ROOM FOR GERMANS.
American Troops Invited to Leave Ger-
 man Concession at Tien Tsin.

Copyright, 1900, Associated Press0
 Tien Tsin, Aug, 29. via Taku, Aug. 9O. The Germans have formally demand ed for themselves all the buildings and grounds of the camp of the United States troops, explaining that these will be needed by the large German force soon to arrive. As the American camp lies in the German concession the de- mand will probably be compiled with, and new camp for the United States troops will be established outside of the city. Orders received from Washington direct that the five thousand American troops be divided between Pekin, Tien Tsin and Taku for the winter. Abun- dant supplies are now arriving, and all that is necessary is being rapidly for warded to Pekin. It is understood here that United States Minister Conger in sists that Ii Hung Chang shall be all lowed to proceed to Pekin for confer ence

Howe & stetson.

Conditions in the Visayas continua virtually unchanged.
 The lack of troops in Samar prevents aggression. Negros, Romblon, Masbato, Sibuyan, Tablas, and Bohol are tran- gull, all desiring civil governments. Mindanao is also tranquil excepting the districts of Teagayan and Surigam, where occasional encounters with the F1lipinos occur. The enemy's fighting force there is limited, but it has g.. number of rifles The surrenders, al- though they have noticeably decreased since May, continue.
 The experience of northern Luzon shows that the American occupation of any locality tends to its pacification and well being. An unsettled American poll icy retards the investment of capital. Nevertheless the imports for the last quarter and a half were greater than during an equal period of the Spanish regime. No doubt the needs of the army of occupation are responsible for very considerable fraction of the present commerce. The internal revenue col lected is a third greater than that made by Spain. This Is due to an honest sys- tenn of accounts, to 8 lack of favoritism and to impartial enforcement of the law. The military authorities will turn over s6 000,0 900 Mexican to the commission and this will probably be expended in public improvements, notably in harbor deveJ- opments, the need of which Is to-day greatly hampering the shipping indus try.
 The commission will first organize municipalities in the provinces. notab- ly in Pampanga province. Subsequent- ly it will turn it's attention to needed reforms in the civil and criminal code, passing in due time to other features of the instructions, with the idea of establishing central civil government during the next eighteen months
 Twelve Americans, including two captains and two lieutenants, have been killed during the past wo weeks. The official reports of the encounter in which these casualties occurred are neagre.

RUPTURE OF THE POWERS
IS NOW CONSIDERED AN ACCOM-
 PLISHED FACT IN ENGLAND.
Latter's Suspicion of Russia Intensified Rather Than Diminished by Publica- tion of the Text of the Russian Pro- posals-Opintons Differ as to How the Powers WiIf Now Group Themselves.

1 London, Sept. 3-4 a. m.--The publi- cation of the text of the Russian pro- i posals has intensified rather than di- unfinished the suspicious entertained by | England of Russia's proceedings. The rupture of the European concert is con- sidered an accomplished fact Opinions differ, however, as to the way in which the powers will now group themselves. Some papers think that Great Britain, Japan and the Triple Alliance will stand together in refusing to leave Pekin. The Daily Telegraph, which expresses regret that President Mckinley has committed the United States to follow the Russian lead,'' considers, however, that Japan, whose consistent policy
 since the war of 1894 has been to con-
 ciliate and effect a rapprochment with
 China" will throw in her lot with Rus sia and will be reluctantly followed by
 France, who does not dare to risk di-
 vergence with Russia. Events have
 therefore conspired," says the Daily Telegraph, "to throw the balance of dip
 lomatic power into Lord Salisbury's
 hands, for Austria -Hungaria and Italy must side with Germany, who will pIODdUly pIOpUSe SOllt COlIlpl oiilisG eNiiI be supported by England"
 The Times feels perfectly clear, it says, that neither honor nor the inter- ests of England will permit her to fol- low Russia's example. It trusts that Germany also will refuse to leave Pekin and expresses the hope that the report that the state department in Washing ton disapproves the Russian suggestion may prove correct.
 Most of the ether morning papers ex- press similar views and decline to be- lieve in the sincerity of Russia's prom ise to evacuate Manchuria.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Times wiring yesterday says: "Li Hung Chang has received a telegram from the Chinese minister in Berlin as- serting that Germany is prepared to act in concert with Russia with view to a settlement, and that therefore 1t is prob able Germany will follow Russia and withdraw her troops from Pekin"
 It is again asserted that Prince Yuan is with the empress dowager on the borders of the province of Shan Si, and that he was responsible for sending Chao shu Chiao now president of the board of punishment, to investigate the pro-foreign tendencies of Liu Kun Vi. the vfceroy of Nankin.
 There is no confirmation of the report that the Chinese attacked the allies at Rang Chung, which Is six miles south or Pekin. Various dispatches from Shanghai confirm the reports of the failure of the rice crop In the Nankin district and assert that foreigners are being molested in Nankin, the British consul having been insulted.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
PRETORIA BELIETES THE END IS
 NOW VERY NEAR.
Kruger and Steyn Have Gone to Barber ton A BeIiefThat They Are Preparing for FIight-BuIler Crosses the CrOco- diIe--Boers Burn Supply Train and Later Are Driven Into the Hills.

Pretoria, Sept 2-Mr. Kruger and MT. Steyn have gone to Barberton. It is be- lieved that they are preparing for flight. The general opinion is that the war Is now very near the end, but should the Beers construct strongholds in the bush on the veldt or elsewhere and begin a system or raids the British would re- quire further large supplies of horses.
 General Butler has moved fourteen miles northwestward along the Lyden- burg road and crossed Crocodile river to Badfontein. He found the Boers con- centrating in the Crocodile mountains.
 A force of Boers under Commandant Theron broke through the British lines and captured and burned supply train at Kip river station, taking thirty-fve prisoners. Brabants Horse proceeded thither, recaptured all the prisoners and drove the Boers into the hills.
 Colonel Hummer dispersed a small commando under Commandant Preto- rius east of Pinaars river, capturing twenty-six Boers, a number of wagons and quantity of cattle and rifles.

ST. HELENA,S PRISONERS.
The Four Thousand Bcers Are Well
 Treated and omfortabIe

New York, Sept. 2.-The British steamer Masconomo, one of the Hogan line of steamers, arrived to-day from South Africa, stopping on the way at St. Helena and St. Lucia. The Masco- homo took out to South Africa a cargo of supplies for the British army from St. Johns, N. B., and has been engaged about three months in that service. Re turning home the Masconomo stopped at St. Helena to make some repairs to her engine. While there Captain Mann visited the camps of the Boer prisoners He saw General Cronje and Colonel Schiel and other notable prisoners. Captain Mann says there are four thou sand Boer prisoners at St. Helena, They are well cared for and are made very comfortable. He visited the vari- ous camps and said that the prisoners are not in any way restricted beyond confining them to certain limits. A number are daily visitors to the club and are very sociable.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS
ANOUTLINE OF THE PLATFORM TO
 BE ADOPTED.
The State and National Administrations Will be Strongly Endorsed-If Hold ing the Philippines is Expansion Then the State Party is for It-The Makeup of the Ticket.

Saratoga New York, Sept. 2.-So far the republicans of the state to be adopt ed at the coming convention will first indorse strongly the administration of President Mckinley, vigorously uphold ing the establishment and continuance of the gold standard.
 Second-A strong endorsement of the governments policy in Cuba and Por- to Rico and statement that the Phil ippines are ours by every right and that if it can be called expansion then the party in New York state Is for expan- sion.
 Third-An endorsement of the admin istration of Theodore Roosevelt as gov ernor of New York.
 Fourth-An endorsement of the legis- lature of 1900 specifically calling atten- 1 tion to the tax rate of 1.96 mills, the so- lution of rapid tdanst for New York, the protection of New York citys water supply, shortening or hours of labor. reform in tenement houses and sweat shops, the erection of consumptive hospital. protection of the forests, inn provements to the agricultural land. Fifth-Non- -comn1ital plank regarding the canals, saying that there is now be- ing made a preliminary survey author ized by the last legislature for the pur- pose of accurately determining the cost of their enlargement and that the re- publican party will not favor any large expenditure unless it Is certain that as a result of the enlargement of their capacity the condition of all classes of the people and all sections of the state will be materially improved
 Sixth-An endorsement of the natfon- al republican ticket.
 The consensus of opinion here to- night makes up the republican state ticket as follows:
 For governor-Benjamin Odell, jr., of Orange.

 Although nearly every politician of prominence in republican state politics is here. the day has been strangely de- void of conferences, the only gathering Of leaders being one held to discuss a. l rough draft of the proposed platform 1 So far as can be learned the full ticket l has been decided upon, and it is inti- l mated tonight that there will be an l unanimous endorsement of MT. Wood l ruff for a third term as lieutenant gov ! ernor, even if he fails to acuuiesce. 1 prior to Wednesday.

break the concert of nations and to bring about a disagreement on the part | of any government in any way to secure l relaxa tion of the joint demands all the 1 foreigners in China ms5 as well pack up and leave.
 This is the very best opportunity to settle for all times the status of for I eigners in China. If that matter Is not settled now the Chinese will be encour- aged to persist in their present policy,
 and the powers will have the whole | trouble to thresh over again every two or three years. I believe that all the l. governments are impressed with the truth of this, and believe most of them realize that d definite and permanent settlement of the status of foreigners and the establishment of freedom of trade are more important to them now than the acquisition of territory.
 This has been a deliberately planned movement on the part of the Chinese
 government to expel all foreigners The
 decrees printed in the imperial gazette prove this The movement has been
 practically successful, since every for eigner in the interior has been obliged to seek refuge in the treaty ports. The imperial government merely utilized the Boxers as accessories to it's scheme.
 "The relief of Pekin is merely an in- cident of the crisis. The really impor- tant work remains to be done. Mar ouis Ito, probably the best informed man alive on eastern politics, said to me that the present was the greatest crisis in the history of China and that all preceding eastern questions sank into insignilcance beside it. Are civil- ized nations to yield to the Chinese con- ceit of their own superiority"
 MT. Rockhill and other officials in Shanghai, like the public, are utterly ignorant of the course of diplomatic and military events in Pekin. The con- sus of the various governments have sent frequent telegrams to their respec- tive ministers, but have been unable to get replies. It is suspected that official messages are tempered with between Shanghai and Che Foo.
