Apprehension tJ Nmeer's Death.
 In one respect Great Britain has req son to be thankful to the boxers. The destruction of large portions of the Nanchurian railway and the general rreoccupation of Russia with affairs in northern Asia delayed s.aVanic diplomacy for time from pursuing it's offensive policy on the Afghan frontier When the bulk of Eng'and's = troops We're locked up in south Africa and Russia had nothing tn divert its attention some very dangerous move m uts were made in the direction of H5rat. The danger passed for the mo ment when the Boxers gave the Cars iegiuus other work Uo do. Now il is reported on-e more that military uctiV- itv is visible in Afghanistan. and tha, CossJcIs regiments in Turkestdn are moving toward the boundary. The Russians are much nearer the gates of Herat than they were when Charles Marvin mace his famous appeal to the British people. and General Kour"pat- , kin. the war minister of peace em- reror. proudly claims to be the inheri- tor of the ambitions of Skobeleff, Sob oleff and Kaufman.

AMERICAN INTERESTS SAFE.
Dehied That Any Grave Trouble Is
impending in China

Washington, March 1S.-In official and
diplomatic circles here a denial is author
lzed OF published reports that there have
been conferences with view to the dis
patch of additional warships and United
states soldiers to China, and that news
OF the gravest character had been re-
ceived from the United States minister to
emma There is said to be no fear en-
tertalned that any serious danger to
American interests is impending.
IL Is suggested that the published re-
pofts have as their basis the recent ac-
tloh OF the navy department made public
at the time through the Associated Press.
IN directing Admiral Watson, who is in
command of the naval forces in the Phil
lppines, to send warship to the port of
Iaku at the mouth of the Pieho river.
rms was done as a result of the repre-
sentatlons made to the state department
by Minister Conger who reported that
serious attacks had been made upon the
American missions in Shan Tung by the
Boxers" a powerful and numerous anti
foreign league of the Chinese
Secretary Long said tonight that this
was all that had been done by the navy
department, and he was not yet aware
which of his vessels the Admiral had de-
cided to send to the Chinese port The
Secretary further denied empha ticelly, and
in toto, the correctness of the story so
far as the navy department was con-
cerned, and added that there had been
no conferences such as We're reported to
nave taken place on the subject.
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn of the war
department, was equally emphatic in his
denial
Ambassador Won Holleben of Germany.
whose name is also identified with the
publication acknowledged that he had
seen the Secretary of State recently but
said that Chinese affairs were not the
subject of their conversation.

ed i'm raising funds for a home for Rear

The New York Executive COMMITTEES for

END OF THE WAR EXPECTED.
ROBERTS Is PREPARING FOR HIS
MARCH ON PRETORIA.

1t Is Believed That VIII Be the Last
of the Struggle and That He VIII
Get There Without Difiiculty-Bets
Made That War viii End by Mid
die of May-It Is Expected That the
Next Important Operations Will BE
in Natal.
London, March 10, 4SO a. m.-The news
from South Africa to-day is entirely sat
isfactory to the British public.
The relief of Mafeking is not yet an
nounced, but it is extremely probable that
this is already accomplished by Col. Plu-
mers advance
Lady Charles Bentnck, at Cape Town,
has received a telegram from her hus-
band in Mafeking, dated March l2, say
ing that he expected to join her shortly.
The actual relief movements have not
been publicly developed in detail but it
seems that Lord Methuen only started
very recently and is rather engaged in dis
persing The Beers of the district than aim
ing at actual relief
Col. Peakman has dispersed 500 Beers at
Fourteen Streams. Lord Roberts proba bly,
ascertained from Mr.. Fraser, the new
Mayor of Bloemfontein, before Dispatch
ing Gen. Pole-Carew southwark, that in
all likelihood the railway was clear.
The next move will be to collect at
Bloemfontein by railway sufficient stores
for the army Lord Roberts will have when
the Orange river forces have Joined him
This will probably occupy from two to
three weeks. Therefore the next import
ant operations may be expected In Natal
The cavalry brigade which Lord Rob-
erts had sent to Thabachu, ,thirty-five miles
east of Bloemfontein, is destined 10 cut off
some 1900 Beers who are escaping from
the southwark. The Beers are reported to
have destroyed the railway in the neigh
borhood of Kroonstad.
Lord Kitchener is still quietly organiz-
ing in the northeast of Cape Colony. Pre-
dictions and betting are beginning here
that the war will be ended by the middle
of May.
Dispatches from Durham, Pietermaritz-
burg and other South African towns de-
scribe most enthusiastic celebrations on
st. Patrick day.
A London newspaper credits to Lord
Roberts the suggestion to the Queen that
the wearing of the shamrock be permit
ted. Whether this be so or not it has
been most advantageous political move
