Macarthur Reports the Departure of
the Ninth For China.

Washington, June 27.-General Chat
| fee, who has been ordered to command
the American troops in China, has left
| Washington for San Francisco, accom-
| panied by Lieutenant Harper his aid.
He is due at San Francisco at o'clock
Sunday morning and sails for Nagasaki
on the transport Grant with the Sixth
cavalry the same day.
General Macarthur has notified the
adjutant general of the departure of the
Ninth infantry for China.
Despite all reports to the effect that at
least three regiments will be placed at
General Chaffee's command, Acting Sec
retary Meiklejohn and Adjutant General
Corbin asserted in the most positive
terms that the Ninth infantry are the
only American troops ordered to service
in China and that while the Sixth cav
airy may go to China in the event that
they are needed their present orders only
carry them as far as Nagasaki. In the
possible event that peace shall reign iS
China by the time of their arrival at Ma
gasaki the Sixth cavalry will proceed to
their original destination in the Philip
pines.
1t is expected that the transport Grant,
with General Chalfee on board, will ar
rive at Nagasaki about July 2S, which
would insure his arrival at Taku by the
LIST of August.
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI, has
come to the relief of the news situation
with a dispatch coming in roundabout
way from Peking. The minister's news
appears to have been anticipated unoffi-
cially, so far as it relates to the depar-
ture of the foreign ministers from Peking
But the Importance of his message lies
in the fact that it is week later in date
than any official dispatch which has
reached Europe or America since the
break in the line of communication on
June IL.
The minister says the dispatch reached
him from Peking via Sinan Flu, the cap
ital city of Shangtung province. The
minister is firmly convinced of the ac-
curacy of the statements contained in
his message. Secretary Hay also was
inclined to credit the dispatch and was
pleased to find that it was corroborated
by the dispatch of the French consul
general in Shangtung to his government
There were no other official advices in
either the state or navy department.
The dispatch states that the foreign
ministers had asked permission for the
legation guards to enter the city, which
permission had been granted; that they
subsequently asked that these guards be
REINFORCED, which the Chinese govern
ment was not disposed to permit. The
dispatch then goes on to state that the
consul general at Tien-tsin-supposed to
be the French consul general-had tele-
graphed to the viceroy of Chill that the
foreign admiral had demanded the sur
render of the Taku forts and that the
foreign ministers were shortly to leave
Peking for Tien-tsin with their guards.
M. Cambon, the French ambassador,
called at the state department just in adj
vance of the Chinese minister, but he
had no advices from his own government
respecting the Chinese situation.

AGAINST THE ZOE TRUST.
Referee Nussbaum's Inquiry Is Per-
mitted to Proceed

Albany, June 2T.-Justice Alden Chess
| ter has handed down his decision in the
American Ice company case. The de-
clslon Is against the company on all
points, and yacatcs and sets aside the
wlits of prohibition issued by Justice ID.
Cady Herrick, which restrained the
referee, Mycr Nussbaum, from examin-
ing the officers of the company in the pro-
eecdinGs instituted against them before
Justice Chase. Under this decision
Referee Nusshaum may now go ahead
with his investigation of the company's
affairs.
Justice Chester had three matters be-
lore him for consideration. The first was
the disposal of the two alternative writs
OF prohibition issued by Justice Herriclx.
on the return of these writs the attorney
general asked to have them set aside, ON
the ground that the special term had no
power in the premises.
Justice Chester in his decision supports
this contention, holding that the special
term did not have power to grant either
an alternative or absolute writ. He
therefore grants the motion to dismiss
the prohibitory writs. The other ques-
ton of law under consideration was the
motion to vacate Justice Chase's original
order appointing AIyer Nussbaum of this
city referee TO hear the proceedings
Justice Chester expects that an appeal
from his decision to the third appellate
division will be made without delay,
Touching on the powers of the special
term TO grant prohibitory writs under GER 4
tain circumstances only, the court says,
The code Of civil procedure provides in
section 2,O92 that, except where special
provision therefor is otherwise made in
TINS article, an alternative writ of pro- /
hibltlon can he granted only at special .
term of court"

THE TRANsVAAL WAR.
30 British Troops to Leave Until
Conflict Is Over.

London, June 27.-It is officially an
nounced in Cape Town that no troops
will leave South Africa until the Boer
war is over.
kilograms from South Africa indicate
that the renewed Boer activity increases
in proportion with Lord Roberts qui-
escence. The completion of the COM
mander in chiefs enveloping movements,
supposed to be in progress, is anxiously
awaited.
= 1t appears that the failure of the Brit
ish properly to guard their line of COM
munications north of Kroonstadt involved
disaster to a body of Basutos working on
the railroad, of whom 20 were killed and
200 were made prisoners. This has had
decidedly bad effect on the native mind.
