WAsHINGToN, June a7.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted only an hour and
developed nothing of special interest. 1t
was stated that no troops, in addition to
the Ninth infantry, had been ordered to
China, and while this is literally true
there seems to be no doubt that the gov
ernment is quietly taking steps looking
to the early reinforcement of our small
company of marines on Chinese soil,
Secretary Hay took with him to the
meeting message from Consul Fowler
at Cheefoo, but it was asserted that it

Secretary Long also had one or more dis
patches, bur they were not made public.
Postmaster General Smith stated at the
meeting that Mr.. Rathbone was no

A Spanish Swlndle.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Dwight Reed,
United States vice consul at Madrid,
Spain, has brought to the attention of the
state department an ingenious swindle
which has been attempted upon various
persons in this country by certain Span
ish schemers. The consul transmits
sample letter which was used in the at
tempt to defraud. II was sent to HI. Stenl
of Buffalo, N Y and was signed Louis
Samper Stenl, and in it the writer claims
and explains close relationship with the
recipient Of the letter.
"Louis Samper Stenl," recites a long
series Of untoward happenings and COM
plications which only financial aid can
mend. He has come into possession Of
some $3.50 900, confessedly an embeyzle-
ment from the Spanish government, but
to insure his money against seizure BY
the officials. has deposited it in Mexi-
can bank, payable by check accompanied
by certain countersign, arranged by
himself and the bank. Certain legal steps
have been taken against him, and in lieu
Of money to defray his part of the pro-
ceedings, he has been put in prison, and
his personal effects, including a valise
| in which reposes the ''countersigned" "
check for his fortune, are about to be
sold at auction. In return for timely
financial aid for his blood relation be

Word was received today at the land
Office from the commissioner of the general
land Office to the effect that in case of COM
muted homestead the price would still
be $3.75 an acre, the price i'll the bill which
opened the reservation fors ettlement.
Since the free homes bill passed, this
question has been one of interest to
many. The department when first ap-
pealed to, hesitated to settle the matter.
There are pending combinations where
it is desired to confer perfect title for
homestead and speculation purposes.
The contested parties have awaited the
information here published with interest.
This retention of the old price does
not affect the homesteader who desires
to make home for himself and family,
as there is nothing gained by commuta-
ton for the homesteaders who wants
only home.

Slow to Act.

BERLIN, June 27.-It is evident Ger
many has been interchanging opinions
with Russia and other powers during the
last a hours and that the foreign offices
have been receiving new instructions
from Count Won Buelow, minister of for
eign affairs, who is still having hourly
conferences with Emperor William at
Kiel
AS result Germany takes the position
outlined by foreign official as follows:
"The German government does not yet
see any cause to impute bad faith by the
Chinese government to saddle the re-
sponsibility upon Peking for the partici-
patton of Chinese troops in the Boxer
excesses. At least all reliable news re-
ceived here thus far leaves the question
of responsibility still open. This view is
shared by other powers. For the same
reason the question of dethroning the
empress has not yet been discussed be-
tween the powers
The correspondent of the Associated
Press asked the official whether in case
the completely of the Chinese government
were proved and Russia should still per-
sist in maintaining that state of war
did not exist and that the empress should
be retained Germany would continue to
side with Russia.
Germany" the official replied,
wishes to act in harmony with all the
powers rather than to further the indi-
vidual aim of anyone"
The official added that no policy has
yet been agreed upon by the powers as
to what course to pursue should it be
found that the ministers at Peking had
been murdered and when the correspond
ent suggested that the pacific assurance
of the Chinese ministers at European
capitals were of doubtful yeracity he re-
piled: Germany has no means of deter
mining the truth or falsity of such as
surances."
The Berlin papers take dispassionate
view Of the situation, but they agree re-
garding its gravity. The semi-official
Neueste Nachrichten insists that provis-
ion be made for large trans-marine troops
in the future. To this the Friessinige
Zeitung replies: "The question whether
the Kaiser can order any troops. forming
part of the regular army to go beyond
the seas involves a modification of the
constitution Of the empire"

IMMEDIATE

LONDON, June 27.-3:45 a. in.-A fresh
phase of the trouble in China is the
probability of immediate outbreaks in the
great southern provincial counties The
populace there is daily assuming more
hostile attitude toward foreigners, and
the latter perceive symptoms of a general
rising, especially at Marking, where, ac-
cording to dispatch to the Daily Ex-
press, dated yesterday, Kang WI, one of
the most truculent enemies of foreigners,
has arrived by way of the Grand canal,
armed with full power from the empress
to deal with the southern provinces The
friendly attitude ofViceroy Liu Kun Yih
toward foreigners has brought him into
disgrace with Prince Tuau, president of
the tsung Ii yamen.
The unrest at Canton is described in a
dispatch from that city to the Telegraph,
dated Monday: 1T is feared that we are
on the eve of a scene of bloodshed and
anarchy only paralleled during the Ia
Ping rebellion. The signs of a Murderous
uprising are so manifest that wealthy
Chinese are hurrying from Canton and
vicinity, taking their wives, families and
valuables. Ii Hung Chang has again
been peremptorily ordered to Peking.
His enemies declare they will murder
him before he can reach there. His
presence alone restrains the revolution
airy elements here. His departure will
let loose the black flags and red gir-
dies Knowing this Lis trusted officials
are sending their families to Hong Kong
"The viceroy himself trusts the Ameri-
cans iii this crisis. He says that they
alone want no territory, and he places
himself flargely-almost unreservedly--in
their hands. AtAn important conference
today he reiterated this statement. AL
the missionaries have been notified ol
their immediate peril through confidential
runners. They are leaving Canton hur

lister of foreign affairs, this evening a
telegram which he received today from
the viceroy OF Yum Nan, saying that M.
Francois, the French consul, and those
with him at Yun Nan Sen started June

added, had number Of well-officered
soldiers accompanying the party for pro-
lection over the entire route and It was
believed that they would be able to leave
the provinces without difficulty. The
admiralty also said he had received q
dispatch saying the Europeans at Peking
on that date were we'll and safe, but its
importance was lost, as it was not dated.
