train that went to examine the line

Seymour and his staff, $50 British,
Captain McCalla's 100 Americans, 40
Italians and 20 Austrians. left this
morning at $50. A Hotchkiss and
other guns were mounted in the center
of the train. A second train left at IL
O'Clock, with 600 British, japanese.
Russian and French troops. Repairing
matter and new rails were taken along.

DOM PAUL TALKS.
Correspondent Found Him in a Car ut
MachRdOdorp.

London, June 1.-THE executive
offices of the Trsnsvaal government are
in q railway car, which is shuuted on
switch at Machadodorp. President
Kruger caused the interior of the coach
to be reconstructed some time ago,
with view to contingencies that have
now arrived. A correspondent of the
Daily Express. who went from Lou
renco Marques to see President Kruger,
was received yesterday. The presi-
dent sat smoking long pipe. He
looked worried, but his bearing itself
was quiet and determined. He did
not make the least objection to being
interviewed. The correspondent was
equipped for the interview by cables
from London.
"Yes," said President Kruger, 'it
is quite true chat the British have oc-
cupied Pretoria. This, however, does
not end the war. The burghers are
fully determined to fight to the last.
They will never surrender so long as
500 armed men remain in the country.
l feel encouraged by the fine work
Steyn and Dewet are doing in the Free
State"
The correspondent suggested that the
war was over, inasmuch as the capital
had been taken.
"The capital" exclaimed President
Kruger, with energy, "what is capi'
tai? 1t does not consist OF any particu-
lar collection of bricks and mortar.
The capital of the republic, the seat Of
the government, is here in this car.
There is no magic about any special
site. Our country is invaded, it is
true, but it is not conquered. The
government is still effective"
Referring to the reason why he left
Pretoria, President Kruger said:
"I was not foolish enough to be
taken prisoner. l provided this means
of locomotion precisely for the same
reason as our burghers supply them
selves with horses when they take the
field. 1t is necessary that should be
able to move quickly from place tC
place. That is all. Bye and bye this
car will take me back to Pretoria. Fol
the present, it enables me to keer
away from Pretoria, where could be
of no sevrice and where l should only
play into the hands of the enemy"

Manila, June 13.--The great store of
Insurgent documents discovered by
General Funston, together with the in
teresting papers which Captain Smith
found i'll the possession of General Pam
falcon Garcia, throw interesting side
lights upon the Filipino government.
Most important of the lot is Agpinaldo's
plan for the uprising of Manila, which
was drawn by him at Malolos, is in his
own handwriting in Tagalog language,
and hears the date January 8, 1929.
Pinned to the document was transla-
tion into Spanish done in the hand OF
Buencamino. Aguinaldo's order WAS
addressed to his ''valiant sandatihans"
or bolo men. When the word for the
uprising was given they were to slay
all American soldiers in Manila. The
inhabitants were to repair to the house,
tops, whence they were to hurl down
upon the insurgents heavy furniture
and any iron implements they might
have. heated red hot They were also

which was to be thrown upon passing
soldiers, or squirted at them from bam-
boo syringes. The women and children
were exhorted to help in preparing the
water and boiling oil. which they were
to pass out to the men for use. After
ward the bolo men were to run through
the streets slashing Americans wher-
ever they met them. They were in-
structed not to stop to pick up the guns
of the soldiers they killed, those could
be collected afterward. The bolo men
were warned to restrain themselves
from the temptation to looting, be-
cause, as Aguinaldo explained, he was
particular desirous to make good in the
eyes of foreign nations his assertions
that the Filipinos we're disciplined and
civilized people. Particular injunc-
tions were given for protecting the
banks, even the Spanish bank.

RUSSIA WANTS MORE MONEY

In Need Of More Cash to Complete the
Trans Caucasian Line.
New York, June 1.-THE advices
from London that M. Rothstein, we'll.
known fnancier of st. Petersburg,
would soon arrive IN this country. with
a view to looking over the situation
here as an agent of his government and
determining whether or not large
Russian loan could be foated in the
United States. are said by leading for
eign bankers in this city to be accurate.
Whether or not M. Rothstein shall
ultimately be successful in his mission,
however, it is not believed by promi-
nent local financiers that he will be
able to place loan of any magnitude
in the United States for the next few
months, until the presidential campaign
shall be ended.
1t may be remembered that in Feb
ruary of this year, the Russian imper-
ial government negotiated loan OF
$15, 100000 with syndicate of New
York banks. trust companies an insur-
ance companies. In exchange for
their money the syndicate receive four
per cent bonds, guaranteed principal
and interest by the Russian govern
ment and secured by first mortgage
ON the Wladikawkos railway system.
The loan now sought is also for rail-
way construction, according to Wall
street man interested in the February
operation, who said:
"M. Rothstein, president of the Rus
sian Imperial Bank of st. Petersburg,
and one OF the governments trusted
agents is, / have been informed, COM
ing here to get money for the Russian
TRANSIT Caucasian railway. This is one Of
the longest roads in the world and is
not completed by any means. Money
is needed. M. Rothstein is coming
from London here, and is going to
Washington to see the Russian minis
ter, through whom all negotiations are
to be made"
The London report also said that a
large Russo American bank might be
established here as an outcome of M.
Rothstein's visit, but this is regarded
by high authorities here as exceedingly
unlikely.

returning home. The trouble was pre-.
cipated when 150 strikers in uniform
and headed by drum corps, came west

words: Union or nothing; liberty or

Just as they were passing the bar
racks, car Of the Park avenue division
was going west. A number of the
men broke from the line and rushed foi
the car which was without the usual
police guard. A brick was thrown
through the car window and shot was
fired by somebody not known.
At the first intimation of trouble the
sheriff's posse swarmed from the build

ers, calling on them to disperse. Other
shots were fired. Then several depu-
ties turned loose theil repeating shot
guns, loaded with buckshot. AS far az
can be learned only four men in the
strikers ranks were hit. Not deputy

Under the command of Colonel Cav.

MAY GET A NEW TRIAL.
Man and Woman Now Serving Life Sem

tences for Murder.
Topeka, Kan. June l3.--The supreme
court has reopened the celebrated muir
der cases of George Dobbs and Mrs.
Amelia New, now serving life sentence
in the Lansing penitentiary for the
murder, near Eureka, in 1897, OF
Joseph New, the woman's husband.
The court has granted writ of coram
nobis, which is, in effect, an order to
the district court to hear the applica-
ton for new trial, which the lower
court had refused.
Dobbs and Mrs. New were convicted
two years ago. The theory was that
they were in love, and conspired TO get
rid of New, SO they might marry.
After they had been in the penitentiary
for some time, Alvin Ballard, sent up
for horse stealing, asserted that he
could prove that Dobbs and Mrs. New
were innocent. Ballard said Frank
Allgood, now in the penitentiary for
forgery. William Turner and he were
the real murderers. Ballard told the
story in detail, saying he belonged to u
robber band organized by Allgood, and
told the officers where they could find
many stolen horses and vehicles. Ball
lard was taken from the penitentiary
to verify his assertions. and aided the
officers in recovering much stolen prop
erty. On the strength OF this evidence,
application for hearing in the cases
OF Dobbs and Mrs. New was made be-
fore the district court of Greenwood
county, where they were convicted, but
the motion was refused. Now that the
supleme court has overruled the lower
courts decision, the motion for new
trial will be heard at once.
