Berlin, Sept. 13.-The "Rhensch- Westphal-
ische Zetung" in an article dealing with the
South African situation. says
We hear that President Kruger, whose health
is excellent, regards the British cause as hope
less. He declares that the Beers do not desire
the Intervention OF the powers, as only Great
Britain would get the benefit of such interven-
ton.
On the other hand several papers assert that
the Boer delegates in Europe have sent an Of
fetal appeal 10 The Hague, asking for arbitra-
ton.

A PRODlGIOUS EXPLOSION.
Two Men Blown to PIECES and Thou.
sands of Dollars Worth of DAM
age Done at Bonneville. Mo.

Chicago, May 30.--A special to the
Tribune from Boonville. Mo-, says:
Two men blown to pieces, small
steamer torn to bits, three houses
demolished, scores of residences and
business buildings damaged, a ferry
boat badly wrecked, and many thou
sands OF dollars worth of property
destroyed, are the results of an ex-
plosion at this place. The accident
occurred on the Laurine, a 14-ton Mis-
souri, river freighter just off this city
The boat carried 2,100 pounds of dyna-
mite, many kegs of powder, 1000 de-
tonating caps and eight cases of fuse.
Gasoline power was used on the yes
sci, and when a match was applied to
the generator an explosion followed.
The boat took fire, and the crew, ex-
cept two men, fed. These were stiil
aboard when the fire reached the sup
ply tanks of gasoline and the explo-
sives. Damage was done to buildings
a mile away.

Southern phosphate deposits are
practically the only American depos-
its of the kind of commercial value.
Even they, though, have felt the inn
pulse of the new era. whether they be
in the older fields of Florida or in the
newer ones of Tennessee. With the de-
struction of the forests of the middle
west and west, southern lumber is be-
coming dominant in its field, and VIII
be the leader whenever the effort shall
be made to combine the lumber inter-
ests of the country. In West Virginia
and Kentucky there are tendencies
to-day toward placing the coal mining
industries in closer touch with the BIZ
luminous interests elsewhere, while
some of the fuel in the Alabama region
has already been brought within the
influence of the powers centered at

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Chinese Decree Issued Agreeing to
Pay an Indemnity the Equiva-
Icat Of x5.5.00o.Ooo.

Washington May 30.-The depart
ment of state has been informed re-
liably that the Chinese government
has issued a decree agreeing to pay
an indemnity of 450.000,0oo taels,
equivalent TO about $685.. 900. 900 at the
present rate of exchange. 1t is known
now that the whole subject of in
demnity will he closed up before The
end OF the present month. If that is
not done the whole subject of indem-
nifty Will be closed up before the end
of the present month. If that is not
done, and evacuation is not under
way on a large scale. then the Chi
nese government must be assessed ST.
100000 each day after June l next, to
compensate the powers for the main
tenance OF their military forces III
China. Under this whip the Chinese
government has been forced TO yield.
1t is not known that the powers have
agreed on the form and extent OF

of indemnity is fixed. not much diff

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
The united states Steel Corporation
to Erect "a Refrigerating Plant
at the Lucy Furnaces.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 30.-Prepara-
lions are being made by the United
States Steel corporation for the cree
ton of a refrigerating plant at the
Lucy furnaces of the Carnegie CO..
which will probably figure largely in
revolutionary reductions in the cost
of making pig iron.
The plant, while an experimental
one, will be built on a commercial
basis and will cost in the neiphbor-
hood of 100000. The idea is to de-
prive the air of large percentage of
its moisture by precipitating and
freezing the water before the blast is
sent into the furnace. Blast furnace
owners have found that in winter
when the air is cold, dry and crisp.
they can make pig iron more cheaplv
filed with moisture.
The experiment will be watched
with interest by all blast furnace
men.

EFFECT OF THE ACTION.
1t Will Rebound to the Benefit of
the Cuban People.


Washington, May 30.-Brieiy stat
ed, the effect of the Platt amendment
will be tc give the Cubans equal
rights with the citizens of all the
states of the Union. The guarantees
required are no more than are abso-
lutely essential to the protection of
the interests of the United States.
The Platt amendment will enable
the Cubans to establish a government
of their own and to treat with the
United States upon all questions.
Eventually, if the Cubans decide
that they wish to become a state in
the union, after they shall have es-
tabl'shed their government, it will he
question for the people of this
country to decide ii the state of Cuba
shall be admitted.
untii the Cubans shall have estab-
iished their own independent govern
msnt they can make no treaty with
the United States.
The adoption of the Platt amend
ment was unavoidable, because the
treaty OF peace with Spain imposed
upon this government the obligation
to protect life and property and main
tain stable government there.
The flatt amendment enables the
United States to intervene in certain
contingencies TO protect the Cubans
from any foreign foe. 1t would so in
tervehe, in pursuance of the Monroe
Doctrine in any event

WHAT WAS ADOPTED.
1t Was an Appendix to the COnstitu-
ton Adopted in February.

New York, May 30.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The exact terms of acceptance have
not been fully understood in the Unit
ed States, and especially since the re-
vised and modified report was the
basis of the conventions latest action.
AS it stands, the constitutional CON
vention has adopted an appendix TO
the constitution, which it formally
adopted il, February last. This ap-
pendix gives the terms of the Plat
tmendme Mt, and summary inconcse
form of interviews with Secretary
Root and his Interpretation of the
legislation of congress. 1t also quotes
the letter from Military Gov Wood,
transmitting the letter from the sec
rotary of war on the same subject,
as having the value of an official docu-
ment, and then states in very clear
terms, article by article, the conven-
tion's Interpretation. All these mat
tiers have been discussed, and much
stress was laid on the preciseneSs
with which the Cuban Interpretation
Is formulated.
The final article in the appendix is
pledge that the republic of Cuba
Will propose a reciprocity treaty.
Commercial interests are highly graft
fled that this pledge is incorporated
into the acceptance of the Platt
amendment.
