Aouth African Reports Throw Little Light
on Affairs in Pretoria.
LONDON, June 9.-The driblets of
news filtering from the Transvaal fail
to throw much light on the situation in
and around Pretoria
Public interest centers largely in the
fate of the British prisoners. but it
seems probable that about $500 have
been recovered, including 129 officer.
The federals, therefore, have removed
1000 as hostages.
The Lorenzo Marques dispatch to the
effect that United States Consul Hollis
has been comforting with President
Kruger is creating some comment, but
in view Of the Washington dispatch
which asserts that Mr.. Hollis has nc
official errand to the Transvaal there is
little disposition to regard his move.
Ments as at all significant.
a special dispatch from Pretoria says
that the only shell which took effect in
the town the day prior to the occupa
ton Of Pretoria, hit the United States
consulate. 4 dispatch from Cape Town
announces that the work Of organizing
the government of the Transvaal is
proceeding.
A portion Of Sir Alfred Miners staff
has gone to Pretoria to start the ma
chinery. SO the proclamation of the an
nexation Of the Transvaal may be speed

CROPS IN GREAT DANGER.

General Conditions In the Northwest
Very UnfavOrable.
ST. PAUL. June 9.-The general con-
dition of crops in the Northwest Is serl-
eusly threatened. Much damage has
already resulted from dry weather.
Speaking Of the Northwest as whole
wheat has suffered more than any OF
the small grains. Hay is sure to be a
light crop. and corn does not promise
well. Barley is fair. Root crops are
looking we'll, but cannot stand much
more dry weather. ;.
Secretary Rogers of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce says the present
prospects for the wheat crop al, are Tor .ea,a a
crop 10 per cent worse than last year
and 20 per cent worse than in ls9s.
However. with abundant rains there
may he n large yield.

that Mr.. Hollis had no authority what

more, the state department did not
know OF any such intention on his part.
The consul had no right to 90 into

from the state department, but as it is
