The Rebekah Banquet.

Invitations were ont TO a few
friends of Evergreen Lodge
Daughters of Rebekah to attend
banquet last night given in
honor OF Mrs. Stella Johnston,
past president Of the assembly,
and at which a jewel was present
ed to the lady. The banquet, as

neat little speech announced that
the gathering was in honor Of
BIfs. Stella Johnson, the beloved
sister of the lodge who had done
SO much for the society. The
company were then seated and
proceeded TO regale the inner man.
After time order was called and
Mrs. Haight, past noble grand
and district deputy, in neat lit
tie address presented Mrs.
Johnson with a pretty little jewel,
embIematic Of the order, and Of
the occasion. Mrs. Haight recit-
ed the fact that the whole affair
was a secret Of which Mrs. John

to come with him. She appreciat-
ed the jewel aud said Ishe would

Manila, June 16.-Upon informa-
ton furnished by Maj. Wheeler to the
effect that Gen. Lacuna intended to
attack papaya, province of Neuva
Eciia, Gen. Funston, with staff Of
fcers, Capt. Koehler and troop G, Of
the Fourth cavalry, and half a COM
pany of the Thirty-fourth infantry,
repaired to Papaya. Gen. Lacuna
was found with 200 men occupying
position on a ridge two miles south of
the town. Gen. Funston attacked
him vigorously, 60 Americans charg-
ing the enemy under hot fire. The
insurgents fed. On their attempting
to make stand later, Capt. Koehler,
with detachment Of troops, charged
and scattered them. The pursuit
over the rough country lasted until
nightfall. Twenty-Five of the insur-
gents were killed. One American was

THE WAR IN AFRICA.
News Of Fresh Fighting Expected
at the British War Office.
WHAT The Beers INTEND TO Do


London, June 16.-Lord Roberts
dispatches leave affairs east of Pre-
toria with the Beers withdrawn to
new positions Tuesday. News of fresh
fighting is expected at the war office,
but none came last night. Gen. Run
dies patrol had a skirmish with Boer
videttes again Wednesday. Some won
der is expressed here as to what he is
doing with three divisions. 1t is as
sumed by some that Gen. Butler will
move into Orange River colony and
cooperate with Lord Methuen and
Gen. Rumble in bagging President
Steyn and his 1000 or 5000 followers.
Part Of Christian Botha's force has
halted at Paardekop, Is miles north
west of Volksrust. Boer parties are
still near Volksrust and fire OCCASION
ally upon the British pickets.
The British government is consid-
ering whether substantial force
should not be sent to China from
South Africa. 1t is thought unotfi-
cially that Lord Roberts could spare
brigade or two and the necessary
transports are now in South African
waters. The commander of the ex-
petition, it is said, would probably
be Gen. Sir William Nicholson.
A dispatch from Lourenzo Marques,
dated yesterday, says: persons have
arrived here who have seen the prepa-
rations OF the Beers and learned that
they will retire when forced, through
the Gutenberg district into the Zout-
pansberg region, adjoining Rhodesia
and Gazaland."
The Daily Mail has a dispatch from
Bloemfontein, dated Wednesday, say
ing: "Gen. DeWet's attack on the
railway was made after he had sue
ceeded in Turing Gen. Methuen from
where he had destroyed the line.
Then he cleverly seized 1t north of
Kroonstad, blew up the bridge and
destroyed long section of the line
with dynamite"
The Lourenzo Marques correspond
ent of the Times says: ut appears
that Steyn and not Kruger is now the
stumbling block in the way of the
surrender of the burghers. Shortly
after the British entry into Pretoria
Mr.. Kruger proposed to reopen the
peace negotiations. Mr.. Steyn, bear
ing in mind that his former advice
was secuted, 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. Moth
ing further is known regarding the
rumored peace negotiations; but it is
a matter of notoriety that Mr.. Kruger
favors peace on almost any terms, but
dislikes personally to take an initia-
tive that would involve unconditional
surrender.

Chicago, June l5.--By the action

In California, Missouri, Kentucky,

liam J, Bryan is assured of the NOM

cratic ticket. The instructions given
delegates by those five states carry
Mr.. Bryan's vote, 1t is believed, con-
siderably over the two-thirds neces'
sary to nominate him.

BoTHA'S RETREAT,
Boer General Gets Away from Rob
erts Without Losing Anything.
KRUGER HANGING ON TO HIS GOLD.


London, June 15.-That Command
int General Louis Botha should have
been able TO stand for two days
against Lord Roberts and then to re.
treat without losing any guns or
having any Of his men captured is
taken to mean that he has force
which the British must still reckon
as formidable when acting defen-
sively.
The pacifcation of the whole of
the Transvaal, especially the wide
spaces, far from the railways, is
looked upon as a business requiring
months rather than weeks. Mean
while everything goes well for the
British arms.
A Boer bulletin issued June 10, at
Machadodorp, said: Both wings of
the federal forces touched the adj
vancing army at one a. m. yesterday
east of Pretoria. Fighting contin-
ued until dark. The enemy, though
in overwhelming numbers, were
checked along a line Of So miles and
the burghers succeeded in driving
back their right wing five miles,
Two burghers were killed and ten
wounded"
Another Machadodorp announce
ment is that the first regiment of
Gen. Buffers force attacked Almonds
Mex and was "annihilated," but as
the British were in overwhelming
force the burghers were compelled
to abandon the mex.
A dispatch from Lourenzo Marques,
dated yesterday, says: president
Kruger is holding on to his
gold and issuing paper notes
from press in his executive
car. The Boer governments coin
ing stock is exhausted and the officials
are now paying out plain gold disks
unstamped. Some who have de-
clincd to accept notes have taken out
their salaries in gold bars.
Gen. Butler will be unable to nd
vance further until he gets supplies
He will probably wait until the tun-
mel has been cleared. Nearly every
farm house his troops passed flew
q white flag. The British took moth
ing without paying for it and a brisk
business was done in milk, eggs,
bread and chickens by the thrifty
housewives, who were pleased to get
so much English money.
Gen. Rumble had sharp skirmish
at Ficksburg on June 12. The Beers
had been aggressive along the whole
Ficksburg-Sonekal line and menaced
Ficksburg in force. The British
outposts retired to the village. Gen,
Rumble held the attention of the Beers
in front with two guns, while yeo-
many was sent round to their rear
and drove them off, with loss to the
British of three wounded. Two pa
trolls were also wounded.
President Steyn is at Uitkop. His
presence there is supposed to account
for the Boer activity.
The Iourenzo Marques correspond
ent of the Times, telegraphing yes
terday, says: among the Boer
agents here there is talk of negotia-
tons being opened with view of Sc
curing peace. The nature of these
negotiations is not made public"

Concerning Officers wives in Philippines.

CHINA IN A FERMENT.


London. June 15.-0bservers at
Shanghai and 1'ien Tsin think there
is great deal more trouble ahead
for the concert of powers than merely
reaching Pekin with 2,O44 men. Sc
rious disturbances are taking place at
Yung-Nan-Fu and Meng-Tze, as well
as at other points at considerable
distance from the capital. The whole
Chinese empire seems to be in fer
ment.
The intentions of the empress dow
ager are still equivocal, with balance
of testimony on the side of determi-
nation to expel the appropriaters OF
a part of her country or to lose her
dynasty in the attempt.
While Admiral Seymour, with the
international relief column, is fore
ing his way to Peltin, several of the
powers are arranging largely to REIN
force their details at Tien Tsn. Ger.
many purposes sending 1900 men.
Great Britain sent 600 from Hong
Kong yesterday and 400 will go Sum
day. Italy has ordered 1000 to hold
themselves in readiness. Russia, ac-
ccrding to a st. Petersburg dispatch
on Wednesday, has decided to bring
her force at Tien Tsin up to 5000.
Thus the combined forces at Tien
Tsin will probably soon be about TO-
900 men.
The Coming Elections In Cuba.

he is convinced that the first elected
mayor of Havana will also be the first
president Of the republic. The re-
publicans will all vote for Senior Es-
trada Mora. His supporters are 60
ing from house to house, distribut-
ing campaign literature and doing
all they can to promote his return
at the polls. Keen contests are ex-
pected in many Of the large towns,
like Matanzas, Cienfuegos and Pinar
del Rio, as well as in many Of the
smaller towns of Santa Clara prov
ince.
