CHINESE PROTEST
Against Being Inoculated to Prevent
 Spread of Bubonic Plague

San Francisco, May 19-When it became known in Chinatown that the board of health had determined to inoculate the residents of the Chinese section, groups of Chinese gathered on every corner and de- nounced the action of the board as out rageous. Some of the more wealthy of the indignant Chinese hurried their families into hacks and other vehicles in the att tempt to send them out of the district. Some succeeded in getting as far as the city, limits, where they were stopped by the police Others attempted 10 leave the city on trains. Several merchants en- deayored to obtain passage on the steamer American Maru, which sailed for the Ori- ent today. but there was no room for them.
 The Chinese consul general Is co-opera- tinp with the board of health as much as possible, but several demonstrations among the Chinese have caused him to keep quiet in the matter Yesterday a small mob sur- rounded the consulate and stoned the build ings. This action resulted in a detachment of police being detailed to protect the con- sulate.
 pr. " P. Buckley, a member of the board of health stated to an Associated Press reporter today that there have been no deaths as a result of incolutaions, bulle- tins posted in Chinatown by the Chinese to the contrary notwithstanding. Dr. Buck lev stated that unless the Chinese submit to the operations a corps of police or sold iers will surround Chinatown and no one but those supplied with proper certificate will be allowed to pass through the lines.

SPENCER WILKINSON
Says Lord Roberts Is Now Relieved of
 Embarrassmen

London, May 20.-Spencer Wilkinson, re- viewing the situation in South Africa for the American Press, at midnight, says:
 '"The relief of Mafeking relieves Lord Roberts of an embarrassment. It was prob- ably necessary for him to move north from Bloemfontein little before he was quite ready in order that his pressure on the Boers should prevent their reinforcing the beseigers or detailing large forces to ar rest the relief column He has now noth- ing to consider but the means of ending the war
 Tt, is mere matter of time Whether the Boers stand south of the Vaal, on the Vaal at Pretoria or at Lyndenburg, they must be crushed, for they have only be- tween 10000 and 30, 900 men, and Lord Rob erts has, counting his own column and those of Generals Butler, Rundle Hunter and Methuen, not less than 9O,0OO men, all of whom shortly will be ready to invade the Transvaal position.
 At the date of the last telegrams re- ceived Lord Roberts was at Kroonstad with dismounted troops spreading out some forty or fifty miles on either flank. General Bundle was at Clocan, ready to move on Ficksburg and drive back the Free Staters, who in diminishing numbers still hold the field. Hunter at Fourteen Streams, with his advance guard at Christiana, and Buffers advance guard at Laing's Nek, with his leading infantry di- vision at Ingogo, march in the rear.
 General Butler will get through the mountains into the Transvaal without serious opposition, in which case no re- sistance can be made to him before he reaches Hedelburg or Middlesburg
 '.Of the destination of General Hunters force, I cannot at present judge. Some force will be needed to open the railway to Rhodesia as in a fortnight forces may af fnrin therefore the advance to Christana was mere demonstration to district the enemy. It is said that the Boers intend to retreat to Lydenburg with a view to gain time, always the one purpose of the defense. Lord Roberts therefore must wish to pre- vent that.
 General Butler cannot come up to the Jxroonstad and Pretoria railroad in time to stop a Boer retreat, though if the Boers stand at or near the Vaal his advance must in time compel his surrender or re- treat If, therefore, Lord Roberts thinks the time opportune to try and end the war he may deliver prompt blow against the Boers south of the Vaal on the Rhen- oster or at Blaauwboschpoort This he would do by wheeling the cavalry wing so as to encircle the Boers. while at the same time pushing his infantry divisions rapidly to the front, sncn move i, wouia have to be Q surprise. Its object would be to capture his whole Boer force, and if successful 1t would probably bring about the submission of the TransvaaL
 eff this is the plan, which possibly may be the case, it would be executed without delay, and a great coup would be struck before May A, the queens birthday. '.rhere is<no telegram from Lord Rob- erts today, which looks as though he were on the move.
 s.Failing n suddden stroke of this klnd the possibility is that Lord Roberts ,sauld wait . few days until General Bull

 Intense Suffering. HER CLOTHING CAUGHT FIRE Before Assistance Could Reach the Un- fortunate Woman She Was

 Leaves Four Children
HER CLOTHING CAUGHT FIRE

Selma, May 19-(Special)-A horrible &C., cident happened this morning to Mrs. Sar- ah T. Street, at her home on Selma street, resulting in her death about three hours afterward
 Mrs. Street, who was about 60 years of age, went out into the yard and was en- gagged in burning up some old hen nests,
 composed of straw and hay, when her dress became ignited, and in instant she was a mass of flames. Madly she fought the burning element away from her face, but her clothing was all of infamable material, and before her screams brought assistance had been literary burned from her body leaving the skin from her knees up one big blister and charred flesh.
 Rev. J. O.. Andrews was sitting on the front porch of the Methodist parsonage when he heard Mrs. Streets screams. Has, tening to the fence that divides the yards, he saw the horrifying sight of the aged lady burning to death before his very eyes. In less time that it takes to tell it, he had got to her side and was endeavoring to eXtinguish the flames In domg so his right hand was severely burned, n1cessitating
 medical attention. Professor R. D. Harde-
 way and F. w. Gaines were at .5e Dallas Acadamy corner, and on hearing the screams, both hastened across the street, but arrived too late.
 Suffering untold agony, the unfortunate woman was led into the house, a counter pane having been thrown around her, and
 physicians were hurriediy sent for. The
 medical men could give no hope for her recovery and all was done that could pos sibly be done to relieve her suffering. She knew that death had marked her for his own, and her attorney, Major J. c. Compton, was sent for and in calm man.
 ner she dictated some few changes in her | will the memorandumS of which Major l Crompton already had.
 | It was about o'clock when the horrible accident happened, and death came to re- lieve her sufferings a little after the noon hour.
 The deceased was the relict of Thomas Street, a well known citizens of Selma. She leaves four children, Rev. w. s. Street of Mt. Meigs Methodist church, near
 Montgomery, Henry Street of Texas, Mrs Lucy Ligon and Miss Annie Street.

Towne's Position

Chicago, May 20.-Former Senator Du- bois of Idaho who was in Chicago today said:
 q think there is no tendency among the democratic leaders to refuse to nominate MT Towne for vice-president, with MT. Bryan MT. Towne represents not alone the silver republicans, but he voices the sentiments of those who are against colonial system. He stands for such men as Senator Hoar, former Senator Edmunds and the like. We do not insist upon his nomination, but upon the nomination of man who represents what he does. or course if the democrats nominate man with Bryan who Is not for silver and not against expansion they will lose the sup port of the west and cannot hope to elect senators in Utah, Idaho and such states.
