ticable route. The secretary is empow-
cred to cause plans to be prepared inn
mediately upon the passage Of the act
and to employ naval vessels il necessary
in the construction. The control Of the
cable when completed is to be trans
ferred to the postmaster general.

ments, materials and appurtenances

cable shall be Of American manufac-
ture, provided that it can be procured at
q cost not exceeding one-half per cent

State s t:::c Department efa; trying to De-
wise Means of Protecting
Missionaries
NOW at Work in the Shang Tung
Peninsula---Warships of
Little Use,
AS Missionaries Are Far Inland.
German Offer Generous but
Inadequate.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The secre-
tary Of the navy has received a cable
gram from Admiral Watson, stating
that the gunboat Wheeling had pro-
ceeded to Taku. She will be relieved
by the Concord about May 10, and will
go, as usual in the summer, to Un alaska,
on the Alaskan coast. The state de-
dartment is in quandary to devise
means to render effective protection to
the American missionaries at Shang
Tung. The difficulty lies in the fact
that the missionaries have in most cases
gone as far at 200 miles inland, and are
along the western border Of Shang
Tung, beyong the reach Of any aid that
can be extended from warship.
It is 200 miles from Kiaou Chou, the
German seaport, to Western Shang
Tung, but it is presumed Germany has
assumed military responsibility. At
any rate the Chinese government has
been deferred from attempting to exer-
else military authority in that section
by the attitude Of the German authori-
ass a4lzi taa6 ivshe rsssssss 1ors ski.. iin,ss
bility Of the Pekin government to meet
Mr.. Conger's demand for punitive
measures against the "boxers." The
German minister at Pekin has informed
Mr.. Conger that his government is will
ing to extend to the American mission
aries within the German sphere Of in
fluence the same measure Of protection
as is accorded to German missionaries,
This, however, is not very reassuring,
in view Of the fact that the German
military forces in Shan Tung have not,
so far as is known, been augmented to a
point where they are equal to policing
the whole province.

as possible, until they saw nothing but
complete surrender Of their indepen.
dence would satisfy England. Having
been forced into the war, the Beers will
conquer or die.
The Transvaal is willing to make
peace at any time, but we want no more
conventions only absolute indepen-
dence is possible. We do not want more
territory, but are content with our pres
ent frontier, if we are permitted to live
peacefully. This is all we ask.
II recently learned that some Of the
Cape Dutch had been captured by the
British and were being tried in Cape
Town charged with treason. This gov
ernment cabled Salisbury stating that
If such mep were not treated as prison
ers Of war, we would make reprisals on
the British soldiers held here. Sails
bury replied lodging the real point and
threatening, if we injured single
British prisoner, to hold me personally
responsible. I suppose he meant the
British would hang me. Such threats
are contemplate and cannot prevent me
from performing my duties to my coun-
try. The Transvaal replied today in
forming Lord Salisbury that they des-
pise his threats.
It is too early to prophesy the out
come Of the war or its duration. The
Beers are in Gods hands, and he will
not let us perish.
.Our total fighting strength is about
10000, but with Gods aid we can pre-
vail. I have about 25 blood relatives

perish than yield to England's unholy
aggression. This time It is liberty or

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
No Unusual Pressure the Porte to
Settle Our Claims.

WASHINGTON, Oct. enquiry at the
State Department discloses the fact that
there have been no recent developments in
the matter of the claim Of the United
States against Turkey for indemnificatiou
on account of missionary property des-
troyed at Harpoot and elsewhere, several
years ago. The claim has been presented
several times to the Turkish government,
the most recent presentation being made by
Mr.. Griscomb, charge d. affaires at
Constantinople. In each case the Turkish
government, instead of repudiating the
claim, has promised a settlement; and this
is the state of the case at present.
Several months ago, Rear Admiral
Ahmed, of the Turkish navy, came over
here to purchase a ship, with the unof-
fcially understood purpose of compromis-
ing with the claimants under cover of
the purchase. He carried home a lumber
of plans from American shipbuilders, but
he did not buy vessel so far as is
known here. Meanwhile, with a view to
impressing upon the Turkish government
its dissatisfaction with its dilatoriness, the
State Department has allowed Mr. Strauss
our minister to Turkey, to remain in the
United States. There the matter remains
for the present. There have been no de-
velopments. and none are expected in the
very near future

novel grounds.
First. that as the United States was at
war against the Filipinos, only the United
States law prevailed in the case. and the
county court had legal existence or
jurisdiction over soldiers: also, that the
southern boundary of westchester county
is Long Island sound. and this robbery took
place near David's island. and the county
had no jurisdiction. A deputy sherin took
Wood to Sing Sing this afternoon. Woods
