APERPLExING MESSAGE
From Pakin statcs that Russia Has Broken oil
With China. ~

Washington, April THE admins
tration is perpleXed over cable us
Patch received. yesterday. from MI.
Suuires, now in charge of the American
legation in Pekin. This dispatch. ac-
cording to a publication. today. SAID
that the Russian minister refuses TO
receive official communications from
Chinese commissioners. which carried
the inference that the diplomatic reia-
tons between the two countries inter
ested would be broken off. The officials
are very reticent about the matter ana
decline to affirm or deny whether IL Is
correctly stated. They will go only so
far as to admit the receipt OF CHS
patch whose purport was not clearly
understood. for which reason II was
not given to the press for publication.
Another cablegram which reached
here. today. from Mr.. Rockhill, the
special commissioner OF the uhiteu
States engaged in conducting the peace
negotiations. made no reference 10 tie
alleged refusal of the Russians TO re-
ceive official communications from the
Chinese commissioners. AS MI. ROCK
hill is in a position to'know promptly
what develops between the ministers
and the peace commissioners, 1T is be
lieved he would be prompt to report
step of such far reaching importance
as the published dispatch from MI.
Squires would indicate.
At the Russian embassy no informa-
ton on the subject was ava'labie, 10
night. 1t was said that no communlca-
tons had come from the foreign ONCE
at St Petersburg since the Russian
note of several days since when de-
clared that governments intentions re-
garding Manchuria, n copy OF when
was handed to Secretary Hay.
The impression of the officials at the
embassy was that no special signifi-
canoe attached to the Squires dispatch.
According to them, it simply meant
that the Russians had discontinued
further negotiations at this time on the
Manchurian question alone, which 10Y
the time is held in allegiance.
This was in accord with the spirit oil
the official publications OF the govern,
ment on this matter which asserted
that remaining faithful to it's oriSinai
and oft-repeated political program re-
garding Manchuria, lit will quletiy
await the further course of events.
Absolutely no concern was felt at the
embassy on the subject, the ofhclaiS
apparently being perfectly SATISFIED
that the communications referred 10
relate entirely to the Manchuriai'
question.
In other diplomatic circles the report
failed to receive credence on the gen
eral theory that the interests OF me
Russian government in China were TOO
great and far reaching to permit the
severance of diplomatic relations at
this time when substantial unity or
many of the matters of negotiations
were so promising.

DRIVEN TO CANNABAllSM.
Horrible Story Of Two Survivors Of Wrecked
Nova Seotian Bark Angela.

London, April THE Singapore cor
a CHASTITY story of cannibalism at sea
brought to Singapore by two survivors
Of the Nova Scotian bark Angela,
wrecked six days sail from Manila.
Oct. 3 last. The correspondent says:
THE survivors. Johnnsen, a Swcde.
and Martcornu. Spaniard, assert that
the Angela struck a reef. Two RATS
were built. The smaller. bearing i've
men. disappeared. The latter, with II.
drifted for 40 days. The sailors ate
barnacles, sea weed, and finally sheir
boots.
ION the 18th day two became insane
and killed themselves. On the 26tn. n
Freedman killed the mate with an
axe. drank his blood and tried TO eat
his brains, but was prevented by 9TH
crs. Next day the Frenchman was
killed while attempting to murder the
captain. The survivors, all of whom
were now insane ate the Frenchman' S
body.
"Cannibalism continued until only
Johnnsen and Marticornu remained.
On the 42d day the raft stranded on
Subj or Flat Island, in the Natuna
group. northwest of BOrneo. Johnnscn
and Marticornu were awfully emaciat-
ed. Friendly Malays sent them by junk
to Singapore.

BURN the PEST HOUSE.
City Physician Hogeboom Says New
One Should Be Built Elsewhere.

City Physician Hogeboom says that
the smallpox hospital should be burned
down as soon as hot weather sets in
and the last of the patients are re-
leased from quarantine.
1T is the only safe way to dispose of
the building" said DR.. Hogeboon- IT
think that the windows could be re-
moved, fumigated and saved but I
would advise strongly against allowing
the lumber in the building to be reused.
There are windows in that building
which cost $50
The city will be obliged to remove
the pest house from the fair grounds
before many weeks, in order to give
opportunity for beginning the work OF
preparing the grounds and buildings
for the proposed state fair.
1T is. very probable said Dr. Hoge-
boom. that when fail comes we will
need another pest house. I do not think
the disease has been eradicated from
the city or state. But believe the hos
pital ought to be built outside of the
city limits-pOssibly on the land the city
owns near Deer creek. 1t ought to be
a better building, with more improved
facilities for light and ventilation"

TRANSvAAL PROBLEM.
English National Federation Will

New York, May ia special to the

A number of resolutions dealing with

voring such a measure Of self-govern-
ment for the Transvaa1 and Orange
River colony as could be hOnOrably ac-
cepted by a brave and high spirited peO-
pie and this resolution the council now
will be asked to confirm. Unfortunately
for the Liberal party, opinion the
question of the future government of
the conquered Boer republics is far from

BREITENSTEIN RELEASED.
St. Louis Gives Once Noted Pitcher
Walking Papers.

Chicago. May 13.-Manager Pat Dono-
van, of the st. Louis club, has handed
Theodore Breitenstein, the once famous
left handed pitcher. his unconditional
release. Breitenstein's work this spring
has not been impressive, and, as Dono-
van had one man over the allowed
limit he selected Breitenstein to do the
walking.
Breitenstein was not surprised when
he was given his notice. He expected
it after losing that game in Cincinnati.
Donovan informed Brett. after the game
today that he would not be needed any
longer.
Breitensteins reIase from the ST.
Louis team either means his retirement
from baseball or his sliding into minor
league. He was undecided when seen
by a correspondent. Il have had no Of
fers yet, because the fact that 1 have
been released is not known to the other
clubs. / don't know whether I can
catch on in one Of the big leagues or
not. don't know whether I will go to
a minor league or retire from baseball
should I fail to catch on with one of the
big league teams. don't think my
pitching days are over, but when fell
low had had bad luck it is not easy to
catch on again -
