OUR CONSUL WITH KRUGER.
The Boer President in Consul
tatiOn with Mr.. Hollis.
Dispatch. Says United States Govern
ment Urged Kruger TO Treat for
Peace, But Secretary Hay De-
nies Ii.

Lourenzo Marques. June 5 S-Unit-
ed States Consul Hollis. who returned
here Yesterday from the Transvaal
by special train, had two hours i'll
terview III close conference with Pres
ident Kruger at MachadOdorp. 1t is
stated that Mr. Hollis was the bear
er OF friendly dispatches from the
United States government urging
Mr.. Kruger to treat for peace.
Washington. June S.-Secretary
Hay says i'll reference to the LOuren-
20 Marques dispatch stating that il
is believed that United States Consul
Hollis had been negotiating with
President Kruger to bring about
peace, by direction of the Washing
ton government, that Mr.. Hollis had
no authority whateverfrom the state
department to make a trip into the
Transvaal, and furthermore the state
department did not know of any such
intention on his part.
The consul had no right to 20 into
foreign territory without permission
from the state department, but as il
is assumed that his visit was of a
purely personal character, it is not
probable that notice will be taken OF
his reported actions.
London, June S.-The Lorenzo
Marques dispatch to the effect that
United States Consul Hollis has been
comforting with President Kruger is
creating some comment, but in view
of the Washington dispatch which as
Serts that Mr. Hollis has no official
errand to the Transvaal there is lit
tie disposition to regard his move
ments as significant
\ special dispatch from Pretoria
says that the only shell that took ef-
feet in the town the day prior to tht

of Sir Alfred Miners staff has gone
to Pretoria to start the machinery
SO the proclamation of the anneXa
ton of the Transvaal may be speedily
expected.
The driblets of news filtering from
the Transvaal fail to throw much
light upon the situation in and
around Pretoria Public interest
centers largely in the fate OF the
British prisoners, but it seems prob
able that about $500 have been re
covered, including 129 officers. The
Beers, therefore, have removed about
900 as hostages.

RUSSIA WARNS AMERICA.
As Result the United States Will not
Help Preserve Britain Interests.

Washington. June S.-Russia has
informed the United States that she
must not permit herself to be used by
Great Britain in China.
The cabinet decided to dav that
Minister Conger and Rear Admiral
kempff shall not participate in any
Joint demonstrations that might
have the effect of interfering with
China or Russia
The British authorities expected
United States to take the initiative
and by a show of strength and activ-
ity in compelling peace to dominate
the situation and prevent Russia
from being the great factor.
Russia. however. has checkmated
Great Britain in her designs and
checked the United States in any ef-
forts Secretary Hay may have con-
templated TO give assistance Great
Britain.
The call of NJ de WoIlant, the Rus
sian Charge d Affaires, at the State
department Yesterday, was of unu-
sual significance and was employed
to convey the intimation TO the state
department. that Russia would ex-
pect this country TO maintain a neu-
trail attitude in China and confine its
military attention to the protection
of American lives and property.
The warning must have been un-
usually solemn, for to-day the cabi-
net, after reading the dispatchesf from

Vancouver, British Columbia, June
S--A copy of the Manila Times re-
celved here tells OF an important dis
covery OF insurgent documents and
other articles which had been hidden
by the Filipinos. 1t says:
ION May ,, General Funston was
making a personal reconnaissance
with eighteen troopers in the direc
tlon OF BongagOn and Pontabagan,
UP the Rio Grande de Pampanga.
when he discovered a perpendicular
ladder leading up a cliff crowned with
dense forrest. Beside the ladder hung
a rope. which, when pulled, rang an
alarm bell in the woods back of the
precipice. The general and his men
ascended the ladder and found thirty
Or forty large wooden cases crammed
full of state documents, comprising
most OF the archives of the ins surgent
government. There were other arti-
cles saved from the wreck of Malolas
about 900 Hotchkiss shells,
quantity of dynamite, a stock of
bombs and much other ammunition.
900 pounds of black gunpowder, Of
encia, carpets, chairs, tables, and

DOCUMENTARY PRIZES.
The documents were the principle

saving the state papers. These com
prise all the correspondence fAguin-
| aldo and his chief official from the time
| of their earliest dealings with Dewey
down to the time of their hurried
migration from Malalos. (Archives
subsequent to that date were, it will
be remembered, taken at Tarlac in
the middle of last year,

Wildman and Dewey, besides several

own letter book, giving press copies
of everything he wrote is also there.
1t is rumored that the correspondence
shows some firms in Manila to have
had relations with the rebels hitherto
unsuspected.
The whole cache was ingeniously
hidden among the trees in the ravine
and rooted over heavily with nipa
