ANXIOUS TO ASSIST CHINA.
Ministers Desire to Put Her on Her
Feet.

rEKIN, March rs. The British
headquarters here report the with.

ish troops from the disputed terri.
tory in Tien Tsin. M. De Giers, the
Russian minister to China, believes
that everything will be amicably ad.
justed at London and St. Peters.
burg, and doubts the probability OF
further trouble in the matter. Gen.
eral Voyron, commander of the
French troops, has ordered a new
regiment to Tien Tsin to replace the
one now here. French officers here
think 1t was a mistake to leave q
regiment recruited in a city at Tien
Tsin. This regiment was composed
Of a tough Paris element.
At the meeting of the ministers
held this morning, the only question
considered was that of policing the
legation quarters. A committee OF
commissioners has been appointed tc
discover China's resources and re.
port on her ability to pay the indem'
nifty to be demanded by the powers.
Many ministers are strongly op.
posed to China's having to pay to
keep an army of from 10000 to H..
900 men here for the next two years,
thinking this entirely unnecessary.
Even those ministers who were here
during the siege were tired of see.
ing Pekin a military camp. They
hope China will be put on her feet
as soon as possible.

from Tansier to mazasan.

GIBRALTAR, March 25.-The ar
mored cruiser New York arrived here
today. The New York will convey Mr.
Gummere, United States consul gen.
eral, from Tangier to the seaport OF
Mazagan, whence he will lvel over
land to Morocco City, tie politica!
capital of Morocco, there to demand
from the sultan an apology for an ap
parent discourtesy to the united
States, committed by the sultans
grand vizier and his minister to Tor
eign affairs. At the same time, MI
Gummere will request the sultan tc
settle certain claims of the United
States long pending against the gov
eminent of Morocco. these claims
arose largely from alleged undue In
reference by officials Of the sultan
with American citizens doing bust
ness in Morocco. When Mr.. Gum
mere said he would see the sultan
personally on the matter of these
claims, he was told by the grand
vizier and his minister of foreign at
fairs that any such effort would be
useless, as the sultan would remove
himself and his ministers from their
capital, Morocco City If the Ameri
can consul attempted TO VlSlt tnem
there. This oiscourteous statement
constitutes the offense for which the
Moroccan government has been asked
for apology and to secure which apol
ogy Mr.. Gummere, backed up by the
New York at Mazagan, will travel
overland to the sultan's capital.
The United States experienced
some difficulty and delay last year In
securing the payment of $4,000 from
Morocco for the latters failure to
make any attempt to punish the lead
ers of a mob who burned and killed

Marcus Ezequi, at Fee, last June

the matter and after the United
States had threatened to send war

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 25.-The
territorial supreme court today hand.
ed down an important decision in the
matter of the Pima county bonds. 1t is
held that the territory must refund
these bonds. amounting now. with in.
terest, to $4,000. incidentally, the
opinion re-establishes the territorial
loan commission which the legisla.
ture sought two years ago to abol.
ish. The bonds, amounting to
100000 were issued by Pima coun.
ty under an act Of the legisla.
ture of 1883 to encourage the con.
struction of narrow-gauge railroad
from Tucson to Globe. The road
was begun but never finished, and
though these bonds had been turned
over to the promoters, the county re.
fused to pay the interest All the
bonds are held in New York.

A RIVER OF FIRE.
Flaming Oil Destroyed New Jersey
VILLAGE.

NEW YORK, March Pa river Of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village of Glengarden. N. j.. while its
inhabitants were asleep this morning.
and reduced II buildings. stores and
residences to ashes. The cOnf1agra-
ton was extraordinary in character,
and in it's origin. The village is in
valley along the New Jersey Central
Railroad. An immense freight train
was coming east at $3.50 A. M. It was
composed of a string of coal cars. and
IS tank cars. High above the village
the tracks of the railroad run along
the side of mountain. They descend
as they approach the village, but even
at the station are considerably above
the main street. which runs up to the
depot at a steep incline.
A few miles west OF the village,
while coming down the incline around
the mountain the train parted. The
engineer on the forward end pulled
open the throttle of the engine
and tried to race away from
the section, which was increasing
it's speed every second. He man.
aged to keep clear of the racing
cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first. The first Sec
ton, composed of the coal cars, was
going at q high rate of speed, and
none of its cars were jOlted of the
track. The oil tanks on the runaway
section were hurled sideways across
the tracks, and the oil tank cars be-
hind were piled on top of 1t in every
way. The first crash caused the oil
in one of the tanks to explode, and
ignite, and the terrific heat caused the
other cars to explode, one after the
other. The incline running from the
depot down to the main street acted
as a sluice for the burning OIL and 1t
poured into the chief thoroughfare of
the village, setting fire to every thing
it touched. Houses, fences, trees,
shrubbery and barns were reduced to
ashes in an incredibly short time.
Villagers awakened oy' the explo-
sions rushed from the on-coming flood
of blazing oil, carrying children in
their arms. Some risked their lives to
free horses, cows and dogs in Outbuild-
ings, but other unfortunate animals
could not be reached in time, and were
burned. Within five minutes after the
first explosion the flowing river of oil
had reached the Masonic Temple in
the heart of the village and ten min
utes later that structure was envel
oped in flames. Then building after
building, all of them frame, took fire
as the oil reached them, and within
half an hour an area of 400 feet square
was a mass of flame. From the
wrecked cars the oil flowed down the
incline of the railroad track, making a
long line Of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted the tracks. The
loss is estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000.

WANT CIVIL RULE.
Negros IL Ready for Provincial Gov
eminent.

CTUUJCUSs
BACALOR, Island of Negroes, March
25.-According to expressions of a
large majority OF the delegates from
Occidental Negroes and of few who
were present from the Oriental side,
the sentiment of the people is over
whelmingly in favor of succeeding
the present governments by provin-
cial governments in both divisions.
The reasons given for tins view are
that such change will effect reduc-
ton of taxes and the high salaries Of
officials, the establishment of schools
and the improvement of roads. The
speakers alleged that owing to lack
of means of education, liberty was
becoming license. The military COM
mander is credited with having or
ganized the only schools. They are
taught by soldiers. Commissioner
Taft assured the delegates that Ne
gros would be supplied with Ameri-
can teachers and he outlined the need
of organizing provinces uniformly
with other islands.
The announcement of yesterdays
surrenders in the island OF Panay was
greeted with applause.

Chronicle, protesting to be able to
give an outline of the negotiations be.
tween Lord Kitchener and General

was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders OF

self-government on the lines Of jana
lea Immediately upon the cessation of
hostiities. with legislative bodies
partly elected by the burghers. The
government agreed to provide f1..
100000 to compensate Beers for prop
erty destroyed and articles comman-
deered by the Beers on commando,
provided the signatures OF the Of
ficers who Communicated the goods
were forthcoming. He also offered to
grant loans on easy terms for rebuild
ing and restocking farmsteads. More.
over, he agreed that children should
be instructed in English or Dutch, at
the discretion Of their parents. The
government undertook to make no
claim on church property or funds, or
upon hospitals or hospital funds. or
upon private Investments. No burgher
of either state was to be allowed to
possess a rifle, except by special II.
censo.
General Botha was generally in
favor of these conditions, but he dis.
scented strongly from a proposal to
give the full privilege of citizenship to
properly domciled and registered
blacks. He was also greatly con.
cerned about the position Jewish cap.

even where civil government Is be-

sary for some time to support the

to withdraw the military as fast as
possible, however, from any partici.
patton in the governments established,
and the soldiers will be more of q
police than of a military force.
Wherever possible, native police will
be organized.
