bOQ5 TO CONTINUE TIL WAR
TranSVaaIers Re-Enforced And The
Free Staters Aggressive-FOrt
flying Johannesburg and
other Places.

New York, May 2.-The Suns
military expert this morning
says:
"The confusion caused by the
grOundless rumors that have
been coming in during the last
few days is dissipated by the
latest dispatches from Kroon-
stadt and Pretoria. The war will
pursue its normal course to the
end, the Beers knowing that
they can not get worse terms by
prolonging their resistance than
they would obtain by uncondi-
tional surrender tomorrow. The
British government has but one
object in view. and has had but
one since the jameson raid; that
is, the reduction of the two Boer
republics to the condition of
crown colonies, and every step
of its policy is leading to that
end. 1t is not, therefore, sur
prising that the Beers have de
cided to continue the struggle.
Large numbers of the TranSvaal
burghers are joining Gen. Botha,
and the cOmmandos raised in the
north of Cape Colony are joining
the Transvaal forces. Notwith-
standing the rumOrs of dissatis-
faction and surrender of the Free
Staters, they are still in the field
in force, and are resuming the
aggressive, a British convoy on
its way to Lindley being stopped
by them.
The army at kroorstadt un-
der Lord Roberts can not move
for some days yet, the men and
horses requiring rest. and de.
pot of supplies having to be
formed before the advance is re-
sumed. Gen. Butler has beer
brought to a halt until the dam
age done to the railroad has beer
repaired, and Mafeking, which
is to be made a third base of Op
eratiOnS, will require some time
before the necessary supple:
and stores have been brough
up.
"The Beers, meantime, ar,
utilizing the respite in fortifyin:
and preparing johannesburg anC
other points for resistance, anr
! Lydenburg will, when event
may render it expedient, becOm
the seat of government, Pretori
being subject to having its com
municatiOns, by rail with Dela
goa Bay cut off, once the Britis
cross the Vaal or enter the cour
try from Natal. There seem
some uncertainty as 10 whethe
Pretoria will be defended or no.

does not, however, appear thu

cHArFEE WOULD QUIT CHINA.
Favors Withdrawal of America
Troops Now There,

New York. Aug. 97.--A special TO
the Herald from Washington saws:
Maj Gen. Chaffee has recommended
that the United States troops now in
China be withdrawn so soon ms ALI
the Americans in Peking have reached
places of safety.
His cable dispatch advising this and
accommodating evidences of lack of
harmony among the powers were the
main subjects of discussion at Fri
days cabinet meeting. The president
and all the members of the admins
trati"n are anxious to get the troops
out OF China at the earliest possible
date, but II can be said on authority
That there will be no immediate with
drawal of American forces unless
there is an immediate change in con-
ditions.
There is disposition in admins
tration circles to believe that Gen.
Chaffee's recommendation was based
on military considerations alone, and
that he did not take political condi-
tons into account when making it,
though there is reason to think that
his dispatch was sent after consulta-
with Minister Conger.
Withdrawal of American troops will
be considered permissible when the

those guarantees for the protection

by the leading Italians of Louisville,

Rev. DR.. Bouchet, vicar general of that
diocese, in refusing to conduct a SOL
emn mortuary service in honor of King

simple low mass for this purpose,
but declined to hold any more elab-

that the present bishop of Louisville,

connected with the American college in
