London, Sept. l8.-In accordance
with the prediction of Sir Robert Hart
that there will be further hostilities
in China in November, the press un.
drestands that the British government
is already considering the transfer OF
troops from South Africa to India in
order to make it practicable to send
more British troops to China. The
military authorities consider the war
in South Africa SO far ended that
troops may now be safely moved.
1t is possi BILE that the Russian lega.
tion has already been removed from
Pekin to lien Tsin. but there is no
definite news as yet as to whether Lii
Hung Chang will after all go to Pekin.

Award of the French President on this
boundary Question.

Award of the French President ON the
boundary Question.
Washington, Sept. 10,--The minis
ter OF Costa Rica at Washington, SEN
or Calvo, has received cablegram
from the minister of Costa Rica at
Paris, which conveys the information
that the president OF the French repub-
lie, M. Loubert, who was the arbitra-
tor appointed to decide the boundary
question between Costa Rica and CO.
lombia, by his award of yesterday,
fixed the boundary limit between the
two countries on the Atlantic side at
Mona Point and on the Pacific side at
Punta Barica. The republic of Colon
bia claimed that the limit should be
fixed at Cape Gracias Adios, on the At
lantic, including the whole OF Costa
Rica and the Nicaraguan Atlantic
coast, and that the limit on this Pacific
side should be placed at Boruca river,
to the northwest Of Colo Dulce, which
would have given Colombia right to
half the territory Of Costa Rica and
about two-thirds Of that Of Nicaragua.
Costa Rica claimed the old limits be-
tween Central America and Colombia,
placed at the Island OF Escudo de Ver-
aqua, on the Atlantic, and the river
Chiriqui Viejo. on the Pacific. The
award fixes the boundary line on the
Pacific side at Punta Barioa, as claim
ed by Costa Rica, and ON the Atlantic
denies the right Of Colombia to any
part OF the territory of Nicaragua or
any portion Of that Of Costa Rica be-
vond Mona Point.

Mansfield, o., Sept. 1s,-A mob to.
day drove Zion Elher Ephriam Bas-
singer, of Bluffton. lind; and two Of
Dowie's converts here out of the city,
and thus broke the monotony of the
usual routine followed for the past tour
Sundays.
Elder Bassinger was in the city yes

molestation. and had number of con-
situations with his attorney, A. A..
Douglas. He left last night, but re-
turned again today and was holding a
meeting at the home of E. II. Leiby,
when the officers went there and took
him to the depot, followed by jeering
mob of several hundred. He was a
target for apples, tobacco guilds, mis-
siles and kicks, as he was escorted to
the depot, and when he arrived there
he was a pitiable sight. The passenger
train was missed by about two min
utes, and while they were waiting for
the next train the mob went to the
home of E. II. Leiby and took mand
Frank Calver, both Zion followers,

Galveston Slowly recovering From the
Terrible Blow.
Galveston, Sept. 17.-More than
2.0O0 dead bodies have been identified
and the estimate of Mayor Jones that
5000 souls perished in Saturdays hur.
ricane does not appear to be magni-
fed. The city is being patrolled by
troops and semblance OF order is APP
pealing.
Though the city appears pitilessly
desolate. the authorities OF the COM
mercial and industrial interests are
setting their forces to work, and start
has at least been made toward the re-
sumption of business on a moderate
scale.
The presence OF troops has had q
beneficial effect upon the criminal
classes, and the fear OF brief, but
desperate, reign OF anarchy now no
longer exists. The saloons have at
least temporarily gone out OF business,
and every strong. .limbed man who has
not his own abode to look after is be-
ing pressed into service, SO that first
OF all the water service may be re-
sumed, the cutters flushed and the
streets lighted.
The further the ruins are dug into
the greater becomes the increase in the
list of those who perished as theii
houses tumbled about their heads. On
the lower beach yesterday a searching
party found score of corpses within q
small area, going to show that the bull
wark of debris that lies straight across
the island conceals many more bodies
than have been accounted for.

NATIVE TROOPS.
Question of Replacing Volunteer Troops
With Filipino Soldiers.

Win tItipiho SOluierss
Manila, Sept. l7.--As the time ap-
proaches for the volunteers to leave
these islands and return to the United
States, in order that all may be mus.
tered out there by June 80 next year,
the question of how 10 replace the de-
parting troops has brought the matter
Of an armed native militia to general
notice.
For more than a year there has been
In the service of the United States
detachment of native Macabebe scouts,
and their work has in the main been
satisfactory. 1t is argued that other
native fighting organizations can be
used with as good result as the Maca'
bebes, especially if the authorities take
advantage OF existing tribal hatreds
and jealousies IN selecting native SOL
diery to operate against the Tagals.
In many of the village garrisons
throughout the islands, native inhabit-
ants are being employed as a local po-
lice force to protect their own villages
against depreciation and attack from
robbers and other malefactors. These
local police are in SOME cases given
firearms and uniforms, and they have
at times done effective work Ia the
limited field of action allowed them,
namely the protection OF their homes.
They have also been used in operations
against the insurgents, both in Luzon
and in the Southern islands. In Leyte
they did good work two months ago
when they helped eight American SOL
diers repel a persistent insurgent attack
upon their town, and two weeks ago,
near Lipa, 20 native policemen went
out alone against 40 insurgents, scat
tered the enemy, killing one. and re-
turned proudly to their town with two
of their number wounded.
These are the beginnings OF what
must eventually come to pass i'll the
Philippines, namely the organization
and use OF native soldiers to preserve
order in the country. Just how these
men will be organized and officered is
not yet decided; but Major Allen, oil
the Forty third regiment, ON samar
island, has lately been given permis-
sion by General Macarthur to organize
two companies of Visayans for use
against the insurgents, and Colonel
Kennon, of the Thirty-tifth regiment,
now stationed in Cabanatuan i'll the
Nueva Ecja, province of Luzon, has
been experimenting along the same
lines with Ilocanos from the northern
portion OF Luzon island.
In December of last year, about GOO
llocanos came to Colonel kennon, al
Cabanatuan, and asked to enlist under
the American flag. Colonel Kennor
at once opened negotiations with the
corps headquarters in Manila in the
matter, and Juue he was granted per
mission to enlist 30 Ilocanos as scouts
During this intrim of six months the
600 men were employed as far as pos
sible as road builders, ration carrier
and guides. The success of this firs
detachment in the service will pIoba
bly, soon lead to the enlistment 0
other Ilocanos tribesnen.
