seriou. rrouble wlth no,err.

Pekin, May 27.-The diplomatic corps
have decided TO ask the Chinese for
eign Office to define explicitly the meas
ures which the government intends TO
take in dealing with the 'Boxers."
The government Is making some Mt
tempts to check the movements Of the
Boxers" here. The country Is in n
state of terror so far as the native
Christians are concerned. Many Pros.
testant and Catholic refugees are flee
ing here for protection.
Shanghai, May 27.-Reports received
to-day indicate that affairs around Pc
kin are extremely critical. owing to the
defeat of the government troops by the
Boxers"
1t is now regarded here as certain
that foreign troops must be sent to Pc
kin to protect the legations, while the
withdrawal of all missionaries from the
Interior is considered imperative.
Large portions Of the provinces Of Pc.
Chilli and Shan-Tung are in n state
little better than absolute anarchy, and
disorder is spreading in the province
of Shan-Si in consequence of the en-
couragement received from the empress
dowager.

Rumors From Pretoria.

Lourenzo Marques, May 25.-The
nly news that has emerged from the
Cransvaal during the last ten days has
bome by word of mouth.
According to these oral reports, yes
terday, the Beers were uuarreling
among themselves. Transvaal paper
money was circulating at eighty per
cent. discount. Becket's firm was Civ
ing one pound in gold for five pounds
In paper.
Krouz and Klinke. the engineers
who opposed blowing up the mines,
have been dismissed. Commandant
Schultz has been appointed to defend
johannesburg and all the British SUBJ
tects had been turned out
The Transvaalers fear that the Brit
lsh will blow up the bridge Mt Kooma-
hpoort, thus cutting off their supplies
from Delagoa, and a commando Of 500
Is guarding the bridge against any
such attempt by the British raiders.
1t is reasserted that President Krrl.
ger will retire to Lydenburg when
fighting is imminent at Johannesburg
and Pretoria. Concern is expressed at
Pretoria with reference to the posi-
bility that General Darlington may
come down from Rhodesia with 5000
men TO cooperate with as many more
entering the Transvaal by way of
Mafeking. Horse sickness is said to
have broken out among General Car
rington's animals.

New York, May 27.-James Fitzhnr-

Mullett, the Irish invincibles who were
recently released from prison In Ire
land, where they were sentenced for
completely in the Phoenix Park mur.
ders In 1880, were to-day ordered ex-
cluded by the board Of special inquiry
at the immigration station and ordered
deported.
The exclusion was made under the in
depreciation of the law which forbids
any one being admitted to this country
who has been adjudged guilty Of "fel-
ony, crime, infamous crime, or misde-
meanor involving moral turpitude."
The two men were recently pardoned
by Earl Cadogan. lord lieutenant of Ire
land, from sentence Of life imprison-
ment, and reached this city among the
steerage passengers on the Lucania

Invader. of Chicago Arrested.

Chicago, May 2s.-Chicago was in
vaded at o'clock this morning by the
army of hostile state numbering
thirteen men-the District of Lake
Michigan" The invasion ended In n
farce comedy, but came near to being
finished in deadly earnest. The casual
ties include one boy shot in the leg and
one horse killed. Five of the invaders
We're arrested and the rest allowed to
escape. gilT--sf
The trouble was precipitated by Cay.
tain George w. Streeter, a squatter.
who has from time to time created
much trouble and litigation by his ef-
forts to seize land along the shore OF
Lake Michigan. The land which he
has for some time claimed to be tile
"District Of Lake Michigan" consists
Of made land on the shore of Lincoln
park, part of 1t including one of the
main park boulevards. The courts
have decided against the sQuatter again
and again, but he has been persistent
In his efforts to grab the property. He
claims that made land along the ILL
nois shore does not belong to the state
Of Illinois, but instead is public do
main, free to whoever settles upon 1t.
Streeter organized the force which
made the descent upon Lincoln park
to-day, but was not with them In per-

M.t-,,.l support for ar,.n.

New York, May 26.-The Journal and
Advertiser has an interview with Rich
ard Croker, obtained In London by VIII
liam T. Stead, in which Croker de-
clares emphatically that he is for VIII
liam J. Bryan for president, and be-
lieves that Bryan will beat Mckinley.
He says he also thinks Bryan Is right
In sticking to the 10 to silver issue,
but declares that trusts and imperial
ism will be the principal issues of the
campaign.
He says that Admiral Dewey is not
in the running for the presidency,
though he might do for a running
mate.
James J. Coogan, president of the
borough of Manhattan, and leader Of
Tammany hall, has contributed $780,
600 to the Democratic national commit
tee, with the stipulation that it Is to
be returned If William ]. Bryan Is not
nominated.
This contribution gave rise to the
story in political circles to-day that
Mr.. Coogan woul be Bryan's running
mate on the natiosal ticket.

ROBERTS IN THE rRANsvAAL.
Has Swung q Big Force Across the River
In Three Places.

In Three Places.
London. May 2S.-When Lord Rob
erts wrote his first dispatch on Trans
vaal territory yesterday, shortly before
o'clock in the afternoon, his immense
ly superior forces had passed the Vaal
river, their last great natural obstacle
at three points.
The Beers retreated almost without
show of defense. General French
and General Hamilton apparently did
not fire a shot. OF Lord Roberts i'm.
mediate force, eleven men, belonging to
the Eighth Mounted infantry, were the
first to ford the river. They came up
on a Boer patrol looting at Viljoen's
drift, and a skirmish lasting ten min
utes followed. Two hundred Beers
tried feebly to hold the vereeniging col.
liery, but they were dislodged.
Major Hunter Weston and Lieuten,
ant Earle rode in advance Of Lord Rob.
erts forty miles into hostile country
to try to cut the railway behind the
Beers before the Vaal was crossed, but
they were too late.
With the exception Of few shots eX.
changed with the retiring Beers at We.
reeniging, the only fighting during the
last two days with all the great armies
In the field appears to have been two
small engagements in the eastern part
Of the Free State. At Ficksburg Sat
urday the Beers attacked the British
occupying the town, but they were
forced to retire toward Slabbert's mex
A Waseru correspondent gives the
fact, adding that nothing Is known re-
garding casualties.
The same day General Brabants
scouts located 200 Beers entrenched
near Clocolan. The scouts advanced to
within 200 yards, when the Beers fired
heavily. The scouts retired and four
are missing.
General Rumble is slowly sweeping
the eastern section Of the Free State.
Occasionally the squadrons come
across parties Of Beers, two or three in
number, and usually on foot, who are
wearily going to their farms. Some of
them carry saddles on their backs.
Wholesale surrenders are expected,
but thus far they have not occurred In
that region. Small commands are re-
ported as hurrying to and fro and find
Ing every road barred.
The Boer rear-guard is at Meyer
town, ten miles south OF Vereeniging.
Their main body Is moving toward the
Kip river hills that cover the south
side Of Johannesburg.

CUSTOM FRAUDS IN CUBA.
Explosion Threatened which May Reveal
Another Crooked Gang.

AhotheE SroOkeu uanR.
New York, May pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
An explosion in the Cuban custom
service is threatened, which promises
revelations rs sensational as the dis
closures in connection with the postal
service. An official, just returned from
Havana, says the customs service
there are honeycombed with fraud and
corruption, and the employees interest
I'd are trembling with fear of invest
cation.
Vhat Congress must make thorough
investigation of every department of
the government in Cuba is the conclu-
efca being gradually forced upon the
administration leaders in both houses.
Nothing short of searching inquiry by
. committee containing representatives
Of the minority party will be accepted
1t Is declared that the investigation
will show that through lax business
methods and incompetent and unscrup.
ulous employees thousands of dollars
have been diverted from legitimate
channels into the pockets of dishonest
officials and their accomplices.

SEVERAL ExPoslTIoNs
OF an International Character To Follow
Paris.

Paris.
According to reports from different
countries number of international
exhibitions will follow soon after the
close of the great exposition OF Paris.
In Belgium an exposition is projected
for 1905. and 1t is expected that the
preliminary works will be shortly un-
dertaken. Upon the close of the Uni-
versal Exposition of 1900 American ex-
hibitors contemplate proposing the
opening of a technical fair in Russia,
either at st. Petersburg or Moscow, at
which their metallurgical products
may be displayed. The English have
also favored the holding of an expo
sition at Moscow and announce their
intention Of sending there exhibits of
their skill in the manufacture OF ma
chinery. Unwilling to remain idle at
a moment Of such industrial activity,
the Germans have started a movement
among all the chambers of commerce
throughout the empire for the purpose
of organizing an international exposi-
tion in Germany. More than so cham
bers of commerce in that country have
slgnified their intention to cooperate
in the project.-Cincinnati Enquirer

A WARNING TO CHINA.
United States Government Urges eu2pres-
sion of .sBOxers.w

United States Government Urges eu2pres-
sion of "Boxers.~
Washington, May 25.-The United
States government has taken hand In
the suppression Of the Boxers" in
China. Minister Conger has been in
structed by the State Department to
inform the Chinese government that
the government of the United States
expects 1t to stamp out promptly and
thoroughly this society and to provide
proper guarantees for the maintenance
or peace and order and the protection
OF the life and property Of Americans
In China, all now threatened by the op-
Grafton Of the Boxers"
There Is NO indications In the instruc-
tons as to the course that will be pur-
sued BY the United States in case the
Chinese government fails to observe
the warning conveyed In this commun-
ication.
Mr.. Conger is acting on parallel lines
with the representatives Of every
European power at the Chinese court,
but has not Joined in any concert Of ac-
ton.
1t is realized here that the Chinese
government in dealing with the Boxers
will encounter much difficulty, as the
So~ASS " pe III puI-
pose. Its contention Is that the teach
ings Of the Christians are in their re-
suits absolutely destructive of the Chi
nese system of government.
The Boxers now are not attacking
foreign missionaries, but are killing
the Chinese who allow themselves to
be converted to Christianity. This
phase of the matter is difficult to deal
with, as it heretofore has been a well
recognized right of nation to deal
with Its own subjects at its pleasure.
MIR. Conger's latest advice to the
State Department indicates that this
troublesome society is waxing strong
In the very heart of Pekln, the Chinese
capital, and it was evident from the
tone of his dispatch that crisis was
approaching which would either cause
drastic action by the Chinese govern
ment, or hostile demonstration by the
powers in the near future.
