bring the news that a report is current
there that six Americans-David Cusick,
John Eldridge, George Lunt, Charles
Burns, Lon Webster and Henry Williams
were shot during the last week near the
foot of the Bacete mountains, east Of
Guayamas, by order Of Gen. Torres, who

declined to act.

Americans in friendly intercourse with
the Yaquis whom the troops have sur

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.-The Angora
Manufacturing company's plant was de-
stroyed by fire today, and one of the en-
ployes, Lizzie Blackburn, aged seventeen
years, is missing. Her body is believed
to be in the ruins.
The fire is believed to have originated
from an overheated bearing. The flames
spread rapidly, and soon the entire mill
a four-story brick structure, was 1eveled
to the ground. The male employees, most
of whom worked on the first floor, es-
capped without difficulty, but there was a
panic among the women and girls Many
of them were injured by jumping from
the windows, and others severely burned

spectators Hint to British Govern
ment on Nicaragua Canal.

LONDON, Jan. 26-The Spectator, in
the course of an important item urging
that it is entirely in the interest of Great
Britain that the Nicaraguan canal should
be cut, urges the government ito antici-
pate the probability of the Washington
government raising the question of abro-
cation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in
an offensive form by voluntarily offering
to abrogate the treaty.
I'VE should, in that event." says the
Spectator, "be put in ridiculous posi-
tion by seeming to yield to pressure,
when pressure was being eXerted in re-
gard to something which it was to our
interest to do. We do not want, in
fact, to quarrel with America over not
doing something which would be greatly
to the advantage of the British empire.
If the canal is to be made and cannot be
under our control, it is immensely impor-
tant that it should be in the hands of a
strong, friendly, neutral power, and, God
be thanked, there is less fear of our be-
ing at war with America than with any
other power in the world. We do not
believe Canada would block the way In

News of Abdication of Chinese EN-
perOr the Cause.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says the news of the alb
dication Of the Chinese emperor has caus-
ed tremendous sensation in Japan,
where a strong desire is expressed to
adopt stringent measures. as it is be-
lieved Russia is the leading hand in the
coup d'etat.
The dowager empress dismissed Jung
Lu, generalissimo of the Chinese forces,
on account of his supposed disapproval
of the coup d'etat. Other high officials
have been superseded. Extraordinary
precautions have been taken at the vice
regal capitals to prevent rsings. The
guards have been served with ball car
tridges. The interior of China is greatly
excited, and intelligent classes are beg
ging the British, American and Japanese
representatives to intervene and restore
the emperor. An official .communica ton
received here from Peking says:
'Pu Chung, who has been appointed
heir apparent to the throne. has been
given the status of son of the last en-
press. The statement that a neW emperor
has ascended the throne is srcmature, al

announcing the retirement from Spion' S
Kop of the forces of Gen. Warren, which
read as follows:
'Gen. Warrens garrison, I am sorry to
say, I find this morning, had in the night
abandoned Spion Kop."
No explanation of the cause of Gen.
Warren's action has yet been vouch-
safed, and all sorts of surmises are IN
circulation. The generally accepted be-
lief Is that Gen. Warren, finding the po-
sition taken after a desperate battle, too
exposed to hold without sacrificing many
men, retired to more desirable ground to
await the arrival of a sufficient force to
enable him to press forward from the
Kop into the open country beyond. A
dispatch from the front announcing that
the Beers must prevent the Britons from
passing into that open country or aban-
don all hope of keeping Gen. Butler out
of Ladysmith,' has revived the spirits of
the British.
BRIToNs ARE PHILOSOPHICAL.
LONDON Jan. 21.-SeVen days or ngnt-
ing have left the main Boer positions
intact. and Gen. Buffers army 706 weak
er according to the official casualty lists,
which seemingly do. not include the
Spion Kop losses, as those last forward
ed do not mention Gen. Woodgate's
wounding
England is possessed by depressing
sense of failure. although not word in
criticism of her generals and soldiers Is
uttered. Not much effort is made to
place a happy construction upon Gen.
Buffers bare eighteen words telling Of
the retirement from Spion Kop and there
Is en- uneasy impression that worse news
is yet to come.
At the military clubs tonight the state
ment passed from one member to another
that the war office had received an un-
pleasant supplementary dispatch from
Gen. Butler, which was being held up for
twelve hours.
Spencer Wilkinson, in today's Morning
Post, writes as follows of the Spion Kop
loss:
'This is serious matter, and an at
tempt will not here be made to minimize
it, for no greater wrong can be done to
our people at home than to mislead them
about the significance of the events Of
the war. The right way is to tell tho
truth as far as we know it. But facts
