lief that the note of the powers to the

and Ii Hung Chang will be completed
soon is strengthened by the results Of
the recent informal conferences Of the
ministers OF the powers.
Mr.. Conger, the United States minis
ter said to q correspondent OF the Asso-
ciated press:
THE situation looks very favorable to
the early beginning Of negotiations for a
preliminary settlement. l believe that
the next meeting of the foreign ENJOYS
will virtually settle all points Of differ
ence between the representatives OF the
powers who will lsse no time in present
ing the demands.
What the result will be it 10 impossi-
BILE to foretsll. Events have placed
China in a critical position. Whether
she will be able to preserve her integrity
and save her trade relations with the
rest of tho world will depend upon what
the powers demand in the nnal settle
ment and upon her willingness to accept
promptly the conditions proposed"

over ninety-four years ago and lived there
until about the age of twenty, moving
from there to Wales, where she resided
until about ten years ago, when she came
to Mashapaug and took up her abode with
her nephew, Geo. Crawford, where, with
two other aged sisters, she has spent her
declining years. Her husband was Moses
Davis of Wales, who died In that place
about fourteen years ago. She was a
member of the Methodist church at

about seventy-four years ago, and having
never removed her standing from that

the house for about two years, and for a
year had not been out of her room. She
had been deaf for some time back, but
about two weeks before her death her
hearing seemed to return to her. Her
death was due simply to old age. Sur
wing her are the following near rela-

brother, VIM. o. Underwood of Wales /;
two sisters, Mrs. Mary A. Pierce and Mrs.
Martha Crawford, both living at Masha-

CUBAN CUSTOMS NEXT.
Service Is Said to BE Honeycombed
with Fraud.

Service Is Said to BE HoneycOmbed
with Fraud.
A special from Washington says that
an explosion in the Cuban customs SER
vice is threatened, which promises rev.
Citations as scandalous as the disclosures
in connection with the postal service. An
official Of the customs service, who has
just returned to New York from Havana,
brings information that the customs SER
vice there is honeycombed with fraud and
corruption, wand the employees interested
are trembling in fear of investigation. 1t
is declared that investigation will show
that through lax business methods and
incompetent and INSCRIPTIONS employees,
thousands of dollars have been diverted
from legitimate channels into the pockets
Of dishonest officials and their accom-
plices. Disbursements of sums ranging
from 500 to $4,000 have been made to
persons who have not performed any
service whatever, it is said, and in many
instances without the formality of pre-
senting vouchers.
The Assistant Secretary Of War esti-
mates that it will take about a month to
complete the investigation started in
Cuba. The fact that the customs service
is to be included in the inquiry will in
crease the task and lengthen the time.
The official announcement that this de-
pertinent is under suspicion confirms the
rumors which have been current in
Washington for some time

Made a prisoner on his own premises
by irate pro-Boer villagers, Robert X.
Sneden of Monsey, n. Y, saw his British
flag torn off the roof of his house and
burned. Sneden comes of an old English
family and is stanch Briton. Since the
South African war began whenever he
read about Boer defeat up went his
colors. Monsey Boer sympathizers have
worried Sneden several times. A few
weeks ago his flagstaff was chopped
down at night. The veteran then decided
to fly his flag the next time from his
housetop. He let the villagers know he
would do SO despite their objections. He
also said that he would stand guard over
his flag with a double barreled shotgun.
He says he will prosecute the offenders
and appeal to the British consul.
