ONE CONVICT CREMATED
In the Burning of the Nebraska Peni-
tentiary.

Licoln, Neb. The Nebraska peni-
tentiary is in ruins as the result of
fire destroying the cell house and tie
entire main building. The loss VIII
not be less than $500, 600 and probably
will exceed that amount. The build
ing practically was new. The only
building saved was the east wing oc-
oupied by the warden, the chapel and
b small reserve cell room. Precau-
tions have been taken to guard the
prisoners who were taken under extra
guard without difficulty. Lieutenant
Governor Sale has arranged to have a
sufficient number of the national
guard sent to prevent the escape OF
any prisoners.
News of the fire caused great ex-
eitement in the city, heightened by
reports of loss of life, mutiny and the
escape of many convicts. So far as
can be learned every prisoner and
prison attache is accounted for.
When a search was, made of the ruins
of the west cell house, at the burned
state prison, the remains of Georgt
Pfueger was discovered in his cell.
He had been released with the other
bonvicts from the building and hac
marched out with them but had gone
back to get some personal effects
Pfueger was sent from Cunning coun
ty for life six and half years age

Only Two Companies to
Remain in P< king.
CHAFFEE TO GO TO MANILA
Relieving Macarthur Of the Command
in the Philippines. .Ano.her List Of
Boxers to be Punished.

Washington. Carrying out the
policy inaugurated by the state de-
partment when it changed its mill
tary force in China into legation
guard, the war department has sent
orders to General Chaffee to still
further reduce his force The general
now has under his command about
I, 800 men, composed of troops l, 4,
L, and M, sixth United States cavaL
ry, battery F, fifth artillery and the
ninth infantry. Although nominally
legation guard General Chaffee's
force is of rather formidable often
s;ve qualities and not desirous of re.
tanning an unnecessary menace to the
Chinese court and in order to hold
out inducements for its early return
to Pekin the United States govern
ment some time ago determined upon
O. further reduction of the American
force and the orders went forward.
Considerable discretion was left to
General Chaffee in the selection Of
the troops to remain and it is as
sumed at the department that the Pc
kin dispatches announcing that these
consist of two companies of the ninth
infantry under Major Robertson is
correct. If the other powers repre-
sented at Pekin can be induced to
follow this policy it is hoped that
long step will have been effected to-
ward the restoration of normal con-
ditions at Pekin.
1t is said at the war departme ut
that the arrangements have not yet
been made for bringing away the
troops from Pekin and it is believed
that this cannot be done before the
ice clears out of the Pei Ho river,
which is usually some time in the
latter part of March, The troops are
to go to Manila, thereby ma king good
the losses which General Mac Arthur
command will sustain through the
withdrawal of the volunteers who are
coming home to be mustered out. 1t
is understood at the war departm ent
that General Chaffee, who will leave
Pekin with his troops is to relieve
General Macarthur of the supreme
command in the Philippines.
A dispatch from Pekin says; The
diplomatic meeting discussed the list
of provincial officials whose punish
ment will be demanded which was
not completed. It was also decided
that the Italians are to retain the
customs property which they seizedson
the ground that the customs are a
purely Chinese institution and have
no right to be in the legation area.
All the unofficial foreign residents
are uneasy because the French Ger
man and Austrian ministers maintain
that none of them can live within
the Notifications. If the other minis
ters take the same view the mer-
| chants and missionaries will be
forced to live among the Chinese,
who are no friendlier than before on
account of the recent hostilities.
The American government is the
only government which has an
nounced its intention to compensate
the Chinese for the land required to
extend the legation grounds.
