ROTHA MAY RESIGN.

says. General Christian De Wet is
completely surrounded near Reitzhurg
and it is impossible for his forces to
escape through the strong British cor

THE Beers say they will make
stand at Machadorp. They are short
of ammunition and food. General Ha-

LOURENZO MARQUES, August O.
Dalmanutha is strongly fortified and
fighting is expected any day. Lord
Roberts is advancing slowly and in
trcnching his positions. If Command
ant General Botha finds The burghers
shrinking from Dalmanutha he will re-
sign his command. The Boer army Will
then probably melt away, leaving Pre-

.RON OVER TIE SALORDISAGREENENT Of JURY
NOTED MILK CASE TO BE HEARD
AGAIN.
Lomba, Man Accused of Using Irish
Moss, win Have Another Chance i'm
the Circuit Court.

In Judge Humphreys court yester-
day afternoon the trial jury returned
a disagreement in the case of G. Lom-
ba charged with adulterating milk
George r. Carter was foreman of the
jury. At 5:15 p. m, after numerous
votes, the case was given up as hope
less. The vote had stood Z to from
the first and could not be changed.
Judge Humphreys discharged the jury
and ordered the case ON the calendar in
its proper place for another hearing.
This case had excited widespread in
terest. Lomba was a driver for the
Star dairy of Kalhi. In the milk de-
|livered by him the food inspector found
what he claimed to be Irish moss. Irish
moss gives both body and color to
diluted milk, and is considered a most
contemplate cheat. In the police court
Lomba was found guilty and heavily
I fined. An appeal was promptly taken.
The Star dairy people believed that
/ their man was innocent. They stated
/ that he had been employed there a
long time and that no complaint re-
I gardng him had ever bene made be
fore. Mr.. MagoOn, a heavy stockhOld-
er in the company, undertook the de-
Tense.
During the investigation and ramifi-
cations of the case the government
seemed to locate Gonsalves q Com
pany, of Queen street, as the sellers of
the Irish moss, but this theory was
combatted by defensive testimony. ANY
number of witnesses had never heard
of any Irish moss being here. At the
same time the government made out
strong case as is shown by the vote
on verdict
| 1t is understood that at the new hear
| ing the same evidence will be used,
/ the only change being in the personnel
of the jury.

advices to the Filipino junta assert that
General Macarthur and General Ale
jandrino, a leading rebel commander,
are negotiating for the surrender, under
the amnesty proclamation, of the in
surgent forces in Central Luzon. These
rebel forces include those under Col
onels I.ucana and TeCson, who last
Wednesday captured Lieutenant AL
staetter of the engineer corps and
eleven caValrymen.
Diligent inquiries at Army headquar-
ters in Manila failed to confirm the re-
port of any such negotiations being ON
foot 1t is known, however, that Mac
Arthur has been in constant conference
with rebel politicians and military
leaders with the object of bringing
about peace otherwise than by fighting.
on Saturday last General Macarthur
with an escort of officers, went to san
Fernando and met Alejandrino at a
conference, which had previously been
arranged. According to the Filtpinos,

Number.
NEW ORLEANS, G-a), August 6.-J.
b. Collins and John Hind, Hawaiian su-
gar planters, reached New Orleans two
days ago on a mission to secure negro
labor for the Hawaiian sugar fields
The gentlemen have already begun
work and several negro families Of
Monroe, La, have decided to risk the
trip. The planters will visit several
Southern States. They are careful in
selecting their darkies, picking only
young negroes with small families.
They have refused to sign any city
negroes on the ground that the blacks
i'm the cities are of a lower moral stan
dard and impregnated with the anar-
chist ideas which inspired the murderer
Robert Charles in his recent horrible
crimes in New Orleans, The negroes
under contract to Messrs. Hind and Col
Inns are promised $50 per month in Ha-
wall and they will have to reimburse by
slow payments half their transportation
or $50. They will be given houses and
gardens to work.
Mr.. Collins before going TO Honolulu
nine months ago, was Louisiana's State
Chemist and -one of the experts at the
Audubon Sugar Experiment station
The gentlemen will also secure negroes
in Porto Rico.

A YELLOW IRRUPTION.
The Really Sick Man is the Mongol
Lord.

Lord.
1t is not the Mongol subject that is
the sick man; 1t is the Mongol lord. The
yellow man, be he Turkoman, Tartar
Manchu or Chinaman, has shown that
he can live in all climates, that he can
march through all climates, that he can
keep on marching after the white man
has dropped from exhaustion and that
he can thrive where the white man will
starve. What he can do, even when
asleep, is indicated by the respectful
forbearance of the western nations
when confronted by the battalions Of
the sick man of Europe" What he can
do when awakened is on exhibition In
Japan
With Slav rulers and leaders, with
Slav generals and captains among the
yellow men the world may yet live to
see its dream of reViving the languid
East suddenly and disastrously realiZ-
ed. 1t will be remembered in Europe
that while the yellow man has not writ
ten all the history of the world he has
been behind nearly all of it, the un-
seen hand that impelled it's vast mlgfa-
tions. Once under Attila again under
Genghis Khan, again under Timour and
again under the Gilman Turks, he has
swept like the wind from the steppes
across the face of the continent. His
vigorous but transient dominion has
been wider for the moment, than any
of the empires of antiquity. The Rus
slams like to remind themselves that
their country was united under the Mo-
gul Tartars, not so many centuries since
in one sway with China and India, and
in that precedent some Of them profess
TO see a prophecy.
Viewing the Russian progress in Asia,
Europe sometimes fears that 1t may
rest more in the forbearance than in
the weakness of some future car, If ii
shall not behold uncounted millions of
Asiatic warriors drawing rein again on
the banks of the Danube. That is its
nightmare however fanciful It may
prove TO be. That is 1.-THE yellow Per-

preferred by w. a. Kinney, as a result
of the papers statements regarding the
proceedings at the recent banquet of the

made the charge yesterday and it was
duly served on Gill
The alleged libel was contained in the
Republicans allegations about the
methods that were in vogue in hawaiian
courts i'm the past. The summons states
that the libel was in the assertion that
some cases in which Mr.. Kinney was
interested had been stricken from the
Circuit Court calendar because mo
valid reason was presented to the court
why the attorney should not be ready

After the alleged libellous publication
Kinney wrote to editor Gill demanding
retraction with the same publicity

GALVESTON MEN
DON'T LIKE WORK

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 25.-Gover-
nor Sayers arrived here to-day in re-
sponse to a request from the Galveston
central committee for conference.
The governor met with the committee
ut noon. He expressed himself as un-
willing to have anything to do what
ever with the distribution of the relief
funds. He will apportion the funds
among the various committees, but
must entrust the distribution to the To-
cal committees.
The railroads are finding it exceed
ingly difficult to procure sufficient Ia
bor. This morning the Santa Fe track
gang had but three men, whereas over
100 were needed. The railroad people
say that since martial law was raised
the men they have had rushed back to
town and are remaining idle while
their women folks get supplies from
the relief stations, while others have
gone to the public work, which they
find easier than the railroad work.
Manager Hill of the Galveston.
Houston & Henderson railroad, ap-
peared before the relief committee to-
day in behalf of all the railroads and
stated the conditions, requesting the
committee to cut of all rations to able
bodied men, as there Is plenty Of work
for them to do at good wages. The re-
lief committee replied that they were
doing their utmost and that the output
was daily growing less.
Arrangements were made this after
noon for the amalgamation of all the
relief work. The united association is
to be known as the Red Cross society
of Galveston.
Fourteen hundred men were Mt work
on the streets to-day. The transport
MCPHERSON arrived to-day with relief
supplies from New York to the value
Of S163.375.
