ENGLAND 5A15 no
Declines to Accept the Amended
Canal Treaty.
GREAT BRITAlNs REPLY IS RECEIVED
No Counter Proposal Made-lf Negotiations
Are Resumed It Must Be on this Side
The Text Withheld.

Washington, March 13.-The long
expected answer from the British
government to the state department's
communication reciting the action of
the senate upon the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty was returned at noon today.
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-'
sador, had already acquainted Sec
retary Hay with the fact that he had
received communication from his
government on the subject and it had
been in his possession for several
days. Secretary Hay had acquired
general knowledge Of the character
OF the British response. Lord Paunce-
tote came to the state department at
noon by appointment. He brought
the answer with him and read it to
Secretary Hay. 1t was in the form of
instructions from Lord Lansdowne,
the British minister of foreign affairs
to Lord Pauncefote, and he left a
copy of these instructions with Sec
retary Hay. At the conclusion of the
conference, it was stated that the in
structions to Lord Pauncefote were to
notify the government of the United
States that the British government
did not see its way clear to accept
the senate amendments.
The amendments were treated In
detail at some length in argumenta-
tive fashion, the purpose of the Brit
lsh government being to show that
it had sound reason for declining to
accept them. After disposing of the
details, the note concludes with an
expression of regret that such a
course was forced upon the British
government. There was nothing in
the nature of a counter proposition,
nor was any opening left for further
action by the British government. 1t
was stated that if there is to be
further attempt to amend the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, so as to authorize the
United States to construct water
way across he isthmus, then it is for
the United States to make the over
lures. The British government simp-
ly drops the matter at this point.
The Hay-Pauncefote negotiations
have been in progress for something
over two years, and owing to the
great interests involved, they have
constituted the leading international
question at issue before the state de-
prior to the opening of the 56th con-
gress, and was submitted to the SEN
ate in December, 1899. It at once
encountered opposition in that body,
but after some delay was finally rat
flied after several amendments had
been adopted. The chief issue was
made on what was known as the
Davis amendment. While in terms
this did not give the United States
right to fortify the canal, yet in
general language it expressed the
right of this country to adopt such
measures in regard to the canal as
were deemed necessary for the proper
maintenance Of American authority.
After extended debate in executive
session two other amendments were
adopted, and the treaty was ratified
as amended. The other two amend
ments abrogated the Clayton Bulwer
treaty and struck out the provision
of the treaty which invited other for
eign governments to express their
approval of it.

A Threatening Note.

London, March 9.-"The United
States government has addressed a
note to the Danish government al
most threatening in tone," says the
Copenhagen correspondent of the
Daily Mail, "to the effect that it would
not permit any transfer of the Danish
West Indies to any foreign power, and
that, in the event of Denmark refusing
to- sell, the United States will require
that island and maritime neutrality
shall be properly guarded and the
United States sphere of influence be
respected

BoERS HELP BRITISH.
Two Thousand of Them Are Ready
to Enlist. .

to Enlist. -
BLOEMFONTEIN, March 13.-Gen-
eral Dewet is reported to be moving
northward steadily, at the rate of 25
miles a day, with a view of crossing
the railway to the eastward. He
should now be west of Kroonstadt.
Several small commanders are in
possession of the southeastern por-
tion of the Orange River colony, from
which the garrisons OF Dewetsdorp,
Weepner, Smithfield and 'Rouxville
have been withdrawn.
It is impossible not to be struck
with the fact that a great portion Of
the former enemies of Great Britain
in South Africa now frankly throw in
their lot with the British. Brandfort,
Kroonstadt and Bloemfontein COM
panies of ex-burghers are now bearing
arms against the Beers. They state
their object is not to operate against
their former comrades, but to defend
their homes and property against
marauding bands. Every town in the
Free State occupied by the British
will soon become a center of British
influence, extending long distance
in their vicinity. Over $4,000 refu-
gees are now within the British lines,
and many of them demand arms and
permission to take the field. If their
requests are granted it will be easy
to get 1000 ex-burghers enrolled on
the British side.

Struck Gold in Mindanao.

New York, March 11-Frank W.
Redding, formerly of Newark, who
was a member of the Astor. battery
during the Spanish war, has, it is
said, discovered a gold mine on the
island of Mindanao, in the Philip
pines. A quantity of the dust he has
forwarded to his brother, William F.
Redding, of Newark. The latter sent
it to the United States assay Office in
New York, and he has received re-
port from the government assayer
that the dust proved to be S97 fine,
and that it is worth in its crude state
$18 SO an ounce.

REPORT ON iNDEMNtriEs
Has Been Completed by the Ministers
Committee at Pekin.

PEKIN, March 1.-THE ministers
committee has completed it's report,
and the general principles to be
adopted in cases of indemnities based
uron laws in harmony with the Roman
and English systems. This decision
was not reached without considerable
discussion, some believing that the
claims of men of good reputation
should be paid in full without further
consideration. On the other hand,
case was mentioned where a man
of high repute claims $4,000 each for
his own, his wife's and her daughters
nerves and $4,000 for property de-
stroyed, whereas it is known that the
latter estimate is more than twice
the value of all.
The negotiations, Mr.. Rockhill says,
are going on well and he sees no rea-
son why they should not be completed
in two months, with the exception of
the commercial treaties, which will
probably take long time.
General Chaffee replied to the COPY
of General Yin Tschang's letter sent
him by Count Won Waldersee that he
had given instructions to the Amer
ican troops when any detachments
were sent against robbers and Boxers
to obtain to the fullest extent possible
the assistance of Chinese officials in
making arrests and furnishing the
guilty. Regarding indemnity for
losses sustained by missionaries and
native Christians, General Chaffee
pointed out that his sentiments were
well known to the American mission
aries; that he was opposed to extor-
ton in every form, and that he fa-
vored strict justice in every case, and
that he would agree quickly to his ex-
cellency's proposition that the indem-
mites Sir Robert Hart mentioned
should be settled by the diplomats.
Count Won Waldersee will leave
soon for Tsin Tau the trip possibly
extending to Shanghai. He says he
expects to return to Pekin temporarily.
1t is asserted that China has de-
cided to delay her answer to Russia
regarding the Manchurian convention
for a fortnight.
The ministers of the powers have
resolved to modify the legation plans
SO as to allow the five government
boards to remain in the oncunation
of the Chinese.

Prince Ching and Earl Ii seem to
think that by spreading rumors of the

they can influence the deliberations of
the ministers of the powers. AS a
matter of fact, according to reliable
reports from Sinan Flu, the imperial
personages are extremely uncomforta-

sionaries who have just returned from

lies, having as a basis the removal of

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March H.
The condition of ex-President Harri-

There is some danger of the conges-

EIGHT LIVES LOST.
Forty-Two Persons Were Injured
and Several Are Missing.

Forty-Two Persons Were Injured
and Several Are Missing.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-By the ex-
plosion of boiler in the Doremus
laundry, 458 West Madison street,
this morning, eight persons were in
stantly killed, AZ were injured, and
several are missing.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined with accuracy as
yet, and it will probably require an
official investigation to settle the
matter.
Reports of the number of dead in
the ruins run all the way from six to
20. 1t is known that SO employees OF
the laundry had entered the place
before the explosion occurred, be-
cause the automatic timekeeper found
in the ruins showed that number of
registered arrivals. Two or three
were entering at the moment of the
explosion, making the approximate to-
tai of 40 employees in and around the
building.
It is reported that an officer of the
boiler inspection. department warned
Mr.. Doremus that the boiler was un-
safe to use in it's present condition.
Laundry employees, however, declare
that the boiler had not been inspect
ed, and therefore not condemned.
The wreckage near the boiler and
in the east part of the building at
once took fire, and through the blind
ing clouds of dust and smoke and
escaping steam could be seen strug-
Cling men and women, some of them
half buried in wreckage, others feebly
endeavoring to climb to some place of
safety, while from various parts OF
the ruins came cries for help.
The fire department soon extin-
guished the flames and the work of
rescue began at once. One by one
the wounded and bleeding girls were
carried to nearby stores, where they
were given hasty medical attention
and then taken to hospitals in am
balances.
