Washington, Oct. 12.-In direct oppo-
:sition to the implied wishes OF the
United States. Count Won walde
the German commanders in-chief in Pc
kin, has sent an expedition to Pao Ting
Flu and his action may cause conse-
quences in the southern province which
the authorities fear to contemplate.
There is no Intention on the part Of
this government to participate In any
further military expeditions, and it will
deprecate action Of this character on
the part OF the foreign powers.
WI Ting Fang. the Chinese minister,
asserts there is no danger Of an upris-
ing in southern China, and has so as
sured Secretary Hay. The authorities
fear, however, that unless something is
quickly done to support the position OF
the southern viceroys, who have so
snpbly held their people in check, an
outbreak may occur. It Is proposed by
this government to insist that the vice
sroys receive appropriate reward for
their conduct. 58

South African republics to the United
States, has received a letter from Secre-
tary De Bruyn, OF the Boer envoys. now
In Holland. containing the fret reliable
and definite Information Of the plans OF
President Kruger which has been made
public. The letter states that President
Kruger will leave 7Delagoa Bay on the
Netherlands warship Gelderland early in
October and thus he has probably all
ready embarked. He will be taken to
Holland, where the envoys are awaiting
him. AT what port he would land Mr..
Vessels did not state. In regard to the
intimation in British newspapers that
English warships may be sent in pur-
suit, Mr.. Vessels Rid the envoys were
In position to state officially that any
such action by England would be ac-
cepted by the Netherlands as q direct
declaration OF war, and the Dutch ma
tion would act accordingly. President
Kruger bears a commission from the
Boer republics. but exactly what 1t is
not even the envoys know They sup
pose. however, that he will endeavor to
secure Intervention by one or all the
European powers to the end that the
Individual republics shall not be ami
hilated.
Mr.. Vessels also stated that the re-
ports of large numbers of Beers emf
grating to America We're unfounded.
The Beers will never leave South Az

will keep fighting till they win. Gen De

Cape Colonists did not join us at the out
set was because they had no arms, and

did a big business in vehicles OF all

for the purpose OF considering the 10 per
cent advance offered by the mine own
ers. began this morning. The hall. with
q capacity OF 100. was fillsd to the doors.
Ast each ofiicial Of the Unietd Nine
Workers entered he was applauded. but
the most enthusiastic denomination
was reserved for President Mitchell. Ten
minutes after his arrival he called the
delegates to order and addressed them
He began by congratulating the miners
upon their good behavior during the
strike. saying the few violations Of the
law had been brought about by circum-
stance In which the miners were not
wholly at fault. I'm fact" said he. 1T
has been shown that more overt acts
have been committed by those whose
duty 1t is to enforce the law than by the
mine workers. He counseled the min
| ers to not only obey the law. but assist
in enforcing 1t.
/ Continuing: Mitchell said: when this
strike was put into effect. We declared
III would not end unless majority Of the
delegates representing the anthracite
miners agreed to its termination. On
learning that the operators had posted
notices offering an advance Of 10 per
cent on the wages formerly paid, we
tdeemed 1t our duty to call q convention
Ito permit the miners to paee Judgment
on the question Of its acceptance CT re-
lection.
IN considering the proposition OF the
operators I want the delegates of the
convention to be calm and dispassion-
ate, consider the question in all its
phases, measure carefully the chances
of success and the possibility of de.
feat should the strike be continued. You
must not reach conclusions hastily. MOI
