Grave as these advices are they

the United States near PeIin, now
represented by one vessel, the New
ark, has not been strengthened, but
if occasion should arise Admiral
KemPff might be reinforced to al
most any extent likely to be needed
in the course Of three or four days,
from the numerous American feet
still at Manila and vicinity. Owing
to the peculiar character Of the Chi
nese coast, naval vessels of fOrmida-
bic type are unable to approach the

pecially are these ''bOxer" afflicted

vessels. The state department does
not contemplate the use Of United

expedient to employ the military arm

PRESIDENT KRUGER WEPT.
Caesar Greets Those About TO Die" said
He as He Received Young AmerI-
cas- Message.

Philadelphia, June 1.-The North
American has received the following
cable message:
Pretoria, May 29.-By stress Of dire
circumstances, the message from the
school boys Of Philadelphia to Presid-
ent Kruger, delivered this day, has the
tone Of sympathy and sOrrOw at the
final misfortune which is about to wipe
the South African republic from the
roll Of Independent nations, rather than
Of encouragement to a people fighting
for iberty-fOr the fight has been
fought and lost.
The message was delivered In the ex-
cutive chamber at the capitol, though
the windows Of which came the rumble
Of Oxcarts and general confusion at
tendant upon the evacuation Of the
city by the families Of the Beers. The
British are reported TO be approaching.
There was an impressive silence in
the chamber as the stern and venerable
president Of this doomed republic bent
forward to receive from Messenger
Jules Francis Smith the packet which
the boy had travelled 1900 miles to
deliver into his hands.
Caesar mOrituri te salutamus,' q
quoted Secretary Of State Reitz as the
president accepted the message. Then
Kruger added a bitter epigram: son
this occasion the message is reversed.
Caesar geets those about to die"
This reference to the United States
and the message Of sympathy from
America to the president of a dying
sister republic profoundly moved
everyone present. Tears glistened in
the presidents eyes as he took the
packet from the messengers hands.
In presenting the message Smith
made a manly little speech, informing
President Kruger of the nature Of his
mission as courier Of the school boys
of Philadelphia. Secretary Of State
Reitz translated Smiths simple SEN
fences as they we're spoken
President Kruger's reply was grave
and courteous. He rendered hearty
thanks to the American people, and
particularly to the liberty lads Of Phil
adelphia for their sympathy, and
charged Smith to return his greetings
to the good people Of America. Then,
with fatherly kindness he shook hands
with Smith congratUlating him upon
completing his long journey in safety
and expressing the hope that he would
have an equally safe return to his
distant home. The entire group was
then photographed.
