Washington, June 15.-It seems prob
able that after all, the United States
troops in the Philippines will be called
on to furnish contingent to assist in
the rescue of the forengn missionaries
in China and in the protection of the
foreign embassies and legations. A
great change has come over the admin
istration in this regard, for as late as
yesterday there was a firm determina-
tion not to go beyond the employment Of
marines and sailors. There was still
such a purpose when the cabinet met
this morning, and there is even now a
disposition to limit the United States
forces employed to the navy if sufficient
force can be secured from that branch
of the service.

from its presentation to the Transit
company for ratification 1t provides
that no discrimination will be made
against any employe because he is or
may become a member of any union.
All employees must be entirely free to
join any organizations; that any attempt
on the part of any employe to induce
any other employe by intimidation or
threats, to join or not to join any union
will be cause for the instant dismissing
of the person guilty of such attempt;

ploye by any official Of the company to
join or not join any union shall be cause
for discharge of such official

through the influence of Samuel Com

alton of Labor, who was present at the
mass meeting held today. Mr. Gompers
made speech advocating the proposed
plan of settlement. This evening the
new proposition was presented to Judge
Priest, attorney for the transit COM

London, June 16.-The Lorenzo Mar

at appears that Steyn and not Kruger
Is now the stumbling block in the war of
the surrender of the burghers. Shortly
after the British entry into Pretoria,
Mr.. Kruger poposed to reopen the peace
negotiations. Mr.. Steyn, bearing in
mind that his former advice was scout
ed, demurred to this and pointed out
that according to the treaty between
the republics, neither could conclude
peace without the other Mr.. Kruger,
equally unwilling to incur the charge Of
breach Of faith had to continue the
war. Nothing further is known regard
ing the rumored peace negotiations,
but 1t is a matter of notoriety that Mr.
Kruger favors peace on almost any
terms, but dislikes personally to take
an initiative that would involve uncon-
ditional surrender. Ninety seven burgh-
ers out of two hundred in one comman-
do have returned to their homes"

London, June 15-6:16 p. m.-The war
office has received the following dis
patch from Lord Roberts:
Pretoria, June 15.-As l telegraphed
yesterday from one of our outposts fif-
teen miles east of Pretoria, the Beers
evacuated their position during the
night of June 12 They had paid so
much attention to strengthening their
fianks that their center was weakly

hundred, a very small number consid-
ering the natural strength of the posi-
tion which had to be carried
"Our seizure of Diamond Hill caused
the Beers to feel that they were prac
tically surrounded, and this resulted in
their hasty retirement. They were be-
ing followed yesterday by some of our
mounted corps. Hamilton received
confusion from a shrapnel bullet in the
shoulder, but is not, am happy to say.

The rest of Lord Roberts dispatch
deals with the casualties and General
Baden-P Powelrs movement in the west
ern part of the Transvaal, where Ba-
den-Powell, with eight hundred men. is
systematically re-establishing order
and collecting arms and supplies.
About six hundred Beers have surren-
dered, and Baden-Powel captured 230
prisoners. According to Baden-Pow
ellis report, the Beers will readily dis
cuss terms of surrender and they all
appreciate the work of paciheation per-
formed by his troops.

ERMlNY GETS NO NEWS.
Intcrprets This to Mean Existence of
Alarming Conditions.

Berlin, June Is. The German for
eign office has not yet received expected
dispatches from China, and their non
appearance is interpreted to mean the
existence of alarming conditions Doubts
are expressed. however, as to the accu-
racy of the latest alleged news from
Pekin, because of the fact that tele-
graphic communication with the Chi
nese capital had not been re-established.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press obtained fro ma leading foreign
office official the reliable statement as
to the German forces in China. The Of
fetal said:
"Our forces include three large crui-
sers, the Hanse Hertha and Kaiserine
Augusta, the small cruisers Befjon and
Irene, and the gunboats Ilts and ia
guar, with their crews, aggregating
2,272 men. Then there are our forces at
Kiao-Chou, 5000. There are 5,472 men
ali trained of whom 5000 may be spared
If required for action ashore"
The papers view the situation gloom
lily, pointing out particularly the want
of harmony among the International
troops. The Vossische Zeitung says:
"The hope of harmonious procedure is
fast vanishing as the separate ambi-
tions appear on the surface. Probably
it will need a few severe reverses before
the powers are cemented for the pur-
pose of joint action"
The Deutsche Tageszeitung and other
papers advocate Germany's going with
Russia and France in China. The LolIal
Anzeiger prints a special dispatch from
st. Petersburg saying that an import
ant Russian dignitary will soon leave
for Berlin to effect an understanding
with Germany for joint solution with
