nouncement that the main American force Will

patches from Berlin stating that heavy Ger

This strange medley of Chinese news is filed
out with contradictory accounts Of diplomatic
proposals by Italy and Russia and the persist
ent determination Of the German Emperor to
send out more battalons on the errand Of

Lord Salisbury's own policy is almost the
only element OF complex situation about
which there is complete silence in the English
press. He is expected back in London at the

THE QUESTION OF WITHDRAWAL.
GERMANY NOT AWARE OF A NEW PRO

Berlin Sept. 10-A high official of the German
Foreign ONCE to-day said
Nothing is known here about the new Ameri-
can plan for the withdrawal Of the allied forces
from Picking, as sent by cable here this morning
from a New-York newspaper. The only Ameri-
can proposition received by the Foreign Ofiee
Is the one answering Russla'S and saying sub
stantially that Washington would wait until
Russia had actually and formally withdrawn
situation thus created
Not all the Powers have thus far answered
Russia's proposition, but the maintenance of the
understanding seems in any case assured.
Regarding the present location Of Emperor
Kwang Su and the Empress Dowager Germany
has received various reports one saying that
they are at Pao-Ting-Fu but all such rumors
are considered untrustworthy.
The "Lokal Anzeiger' publishes a dispatch
from its China correspondent at Taku dated
September Z. saying that four Boxers who we're
arrested in the German district of Picking and
convicted of participating in the murder of
Christians were shot. The correspondent adds:
In the Imperial palace were discovered MANY
reports to the Empress Dowager giving the
number Of Christians murdered daily A procla-
nation by the Minister of Police was found in
which rewards were offered for the killing of
Christians-hfty taels for a man, forty for a
woman, and thirty for a child. This official
Tsung Ii, has been arrested on suspicion of
participating in the murder of Baron Won Ket-
teller.
A section Of the German press having pointed
out that Great Britain and Germany are Dur
suing the same policy concerning the question
of withdrawal. the semi-offlcial "Beriner Post
responds with inspired article saying in
part:
1t is absurd to speak OF cooperation between
Great Britain and Germany, inasmuch as Rus
sia's proposition is not unconditional and fresh

California Man to Urge a Big Claim
Through Washington

MONTERREY, Cal, April S--A paper of
considerable International Importance has
Just been received from London by Jacob
X. Leese, of this city, son of the Califor-
MIA pioneer, jacob P. Leese. The paper is
the original grant from the Mexican gov
eminent, made in 1863 to Jacob L. I.eese
and others of 100000 acres of land in
lower California for colonization pur-
poses.
AT the time the grant was made Mexico
was in state of war, which continued
practically until after the accession Of
Diaz to the presidency, and Leese and as
sociates found 1t difficult to induce colon
lists to go there. A further contract was
made with the Mexican government by
which Leese paid the state $100, 900 for the
land upon the condition that If he failed
to colonize because Of the war before the
expiration of an allotted time, the gov
eminent was to return him $40, 600 Of the
amount
This amount was never paid, and it is
stated that the Mexican government alb
solutely refuses to recognize Teese's
claim. ]. r. Leese, eldest son of Jacob p.
Leese, received a deed from his father
shortly before the latter's death, assign
Ing him one-eighth of the entire $4,000, 0C0
acres, and It is this as we'll as the $50, 900
for which he is fighting. He intends to
move at once through the state depart
ment at Washington for recognition for
his claim and a restoration of his prop
erty and that of the other heirs.

Admiral Dewey and Mrs Dewey will

The following day there will bs a

PLAN WELL UNDER WAY
RAILROADS ASKED TO HELP POP
ULIST CONVENTION AT
SIOUX FALLS
SEATS FOR 1000 IN TENTS
Secretary Edgerton Believes the
Gathering VIII Remain I'm Session
-Four Days, Including Even
ing Sessions.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April S.-(Spe-
cial Arrangements for the proper en-
tertainment of the delegates and Wis
itors who will be in the city during
the Popuhst national convention next
month are in progress, and matters are
rapidly taking shape.
The executive committee Is not alto.
gether satisfied with the success which
has attended its efforts to secure contri-
buttons from the various railroad COM
panies which have lines entering the
city. Beyond the Burlington road, none
of the others have definitely stated
whether or not they would contribute to
the expense of taking care of the con-
Vention.
At meeting of the committee and citi-
zens resolutions were passed asking
every shipper in the city to send strong
letters to the various railroads over
which they have shipped, demanding that
the railroads render some assistance.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow
evening, at which time it is expected
there may be some report to make to the
citizens in this connection. OF course,
even if the efforts fail, and the railroads
decide not TO assist the citizens, it will
in no wise interfere with the convention.
Sioux Falls has guaranteed to take care
of the convention and the crowds which
will be here during the convention, and
every citizen is determined that none of
the visitors shall have just cause for
complaint
The tent which has been secured in
Chicago as the place for holding the con-
vention is 306x162 feet in size, with a
seating capacity of 10000 The Audito-
rum would have been large enough for
the convention proper, but the tent was
decided upon so that all sight seers may
have an opportunity of attending the
sessions
The entertainment committee has been
instructed to open an information bureau,
where clerks will register and classify
all rooms in the city which may be
rented during convention week. Secre-
tary Edgerton, of the Populist national
committee, when in the city, a few
days ago, expressed the opinion that the
convention would be in session at least
three days, with evening sessions, and
that it might run over into the fourth
day.

LONDON, April 9.-The BloemfonteIn
correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele-

death at Boshof of Gen. de Villebois
Mareuil, commander of the French le-
gion of the Boer army, says:
He was fine type of the French beau
sabreur. brave, dashing, highly intelligent
loving war, yet polished gentleman at
nome and scholarly and almost bril-
liant writer. He was of far too high
type to be liked by the Beers, who
showed open contempt for his advice and
disobedience for his orders. He it was
who warned Gen. Cronje that he was
being fianked by Lord Roberts. Cronje
replied angrily: The British will never
leave the railway The French officer
persisted, saying it was obvious that the
British meant to outfiank the Beers.
Then Cronje shouted: Boy, keep still.
