he held on till General Sung sent word
that the Christians would be spared, but
that they must disarm and Father De.
Hets must leave for the coast.
He was escorted to General Maa at

At o'clock on the afternoon of Aug. Il

only slight resistance. The japanese

If the relieving column had not arrived

Conflict Between Count Won BueIow

Conflict Between Count Won BueIow
and Emperor william.
BERLIN, Aug. 21.-For the last day
or two rumors have been current in the
press of a conflict between Count Won
Buelow and the kaiser and the military
party regarding China.
DR.. Theodore Barth, a well known
member of the reischstag, who is known
to be in the confidence of the foreign
secretary, publishes an article in Die
Nation. in which he declares that Count
Won Buelow could not regard the ap-
pointment of Count Won Waldersee as a
purely military question. He had prob
ably given his consent to it, but it's pre-
mature announcement to the press be-
fore he had finished negotiations with
the foreign cabinets was sprung upon
him by the military party anxious to
bring about fat accompli.
DIR. Barth declares the treatment of
the Waldersee question causes anxiety,
as it looks as if military influences were
at work on the foreign office.

BURCHERS MUST TAKE
OATH Of ALLEGIANCE
All Refusing Will Be Treated
as Prisoners of War.
CALL FOR MORE TROOPS

Reinforcements to BE Prepared For
South Africa-It Is Believed That
Roberts Proclamation VIII Make
Accessions to the Boer Ranks.
LONDON, Aug. 81. - Lord Roberts
proclamation in regard to the Transvaal
burghers who take the oath of neutral
ity in the future has been received with
general approval here. 1t is an I'M
doubted fact that Lord Roberts policy
of socalled leniency has been unpopular
in Great Britain for some time past and
public opinion has been urging that
more severe measures should be taken.
The effect of the command der in chiefs
proclamation will be that all those
burghers who have not taken the oath
of allegiance to Queen Victoria may be
treated as prisoners of war and removed
from the country. 1t is undoubtedly
unprecedented to regard civilian pop
ulation of an invaded territory, when
unarmed, as if they were the enemy's
troops, bnt 1t is maintained that, in fact,
the Transvaal burghers are all actual or
potential combatants, and it is impossi-
BILE to make distinctions between those
in the field and those on their farms.
The farmers, therefore, must choose.
They must either Loyalty become British
subjects or else they must be deemed to
have thrown in their lot with the
queens enemies.
If they take the oath and violate it
Lord Roberts threatens them with inn
prisonment or death, and the farms and
buildings of all persons aiding and abet-
ting the Boer forces will be confscated
or destroyed.
1t is admitted that the adoption of
this policy must intensity the savage
and bitter character which the struggle
has now assumed, and that the immedi-
ate effect is liable to make consider
able accession to the armies of Dewet
and other commanders in the field.
Orders have been sent to Aldershot
for fresh drafts of reinforoements to be
prepared for South Africa, so that it
does not look as if the hope Of the min
istry that large proportion of General
Roberts army may be brought back in
September, is at all likely to be fulfilled.

THE MINING INDUSTRY.
New Mexican Lead Company Making a
Great Record.

Within the next thirty days the new
concentrating plant of the New Mexl-
can Lead company will be operating full
blast, and further stimulus will be
given the mining industry of this
country.
An sx10 foot tunnel is in process of
construction and as soon as it has at
tanned distance of IS feet the ore body
will be struck and double tracks will be
laid to facilitate the work of getting out
the mineral. The tunnel will make con-
nection with shaft, which is now being
sunk to a depth of 120 feet.
The vein is exposed on the surface of
the hill 32S feet in width, indicating
that there is a whole mountain of rich
lead ore, and that the strike is one of
the most important that has ever been
made in the western country. The OPP
orators are confident that the leade will
continue the entire length of the noun
tain without dimmunition in width or
value. A smelter proposition is now
being considered by the company and
the probabilities are that the plant will
be erected.
The new concentrating mill which is
being built is located 20 feet below the
new tunnel opening, at the foot of the
mountain.
There are now II me n at work on the
property of the company and nine ten
mule teams are engaged in hauling the
ore from the mine to Las Cruces fol
shipment to the smelter. A car load il
taken each trip. 1t is figured that from
100 to $50 men will be placed on the pa.
roll of the company within the mex

afternoon. Concerning his trip and his
impressions Mr.. Jackson said to a News

Every county was representative at

was shown. 1t is apparent that the
Democrats are very confident of victory
ann a hard compaign will result. l
heard Mr.. Larrizoa, Democratic nomi-
nee for delegate to congress, make
one of his characteristic speeches and
was decidedly impressed with him.
''Messrs. Larrizola and FERGUSON will
speak Thursday at the Roswell fair and
their further itinerary includes Lincoln,
Carrizoza and White Oaks, the speakers
arriving Monday afternoon at Tularosa,
where they will be met by Captain Fall,
and the whole party will arrive in Ala
mogordo Monday night, and a rousiug
meeting will be held here.
"While away visited the properties
of the New Mexican Lead company and
found that the operations there can
easily be made a source of great benefit
to Alamogordo. A very large body OF
low grade ore has been opened by the
operators and when the new concentra-
tor is completed the output will exceed
car of concentrates per day. At pres
ent Las Cruces is the shipping point of
the company but the trade can be easily
diverted to Alamogordo if the proper
effort is made. There is only about six
months supply of wood in the Organs,
and the time will soon come when it will
be necessary to get wood for fuel and
mining timbers from Alamogordo.
With little work splendid wagon
road from here to the camp of the Lead
company can be made, and it will pay
the concern to haul concentrates here
and carry back wood and lumber"
