NOT IN OFFENSITE MOVE.
Gen. Chaffee Explains Recent Expe-
dftion of American Troops.

dttiOn of American Troops.
Washington, Jan. 3.-General Chaffee
has cleared himself of any suspicion Of
participating in any of the looting ex-
peditions which are said in some quar-
ters to be going on in China under the
disguise of punitive expeditions. Ills
report of the conditions under which ne
took his last excursion from Pekin has
been received by the war department
by cable from Pekin.
The officials here were surprised when
they saw the press reports stating that
the American troops in Pekin, which
were distinctly designated as legation
guards, and as such were to have no
part in ordinary military operations,
had gone out into the country to CO.
operate with a German expeditionary
force. From the nature Of General
Chaffee's cablegram 1t would appear
that the officials had communicated
with him on this subject and invited
the explanation which Is afforded in the
following cablegram:
"Pekin, Jan. 2.
"Adiutant General, Washington:
Colonel Theodore J. Wint returned.
Movement simply to verify report that
Christians had been murdered and Sc
cure arrest guilty parties if allegation
found true. Germans from Tien Tsin
had been in country. Take no part in
offensive operations; patrol country be-
tween Pekin, Hoshiwu and Chang Kia-
wan occasionally for the purpose of or
der. (Signed) Chaffee."

Negotiations have been closed in

the coffee-roasting plants, with which
an effort was made to crush out John
Arbuckle, and handle only the sugar
business.

| to transports.
Farmers coming into Carnarvon de-
scribe the Beers as travelling in parallel
columns, with numerous f1anking par
ties sweeping the country of horses,
plundering loyalists and carrying off
they are accompanied by strings of
pack horses lightly loaded.
Colesberg telegraphs that Kritzinger's
commando is crossing the heidelberg
district, but is getting few, if any, re-
cruits.
Here in Cape Town such business men
as are unable to leave are organizing a
town guard composed of the leading
citizens. The commercial companies
have asked the mayor to call mass
meeting to urge the government to sup
press disloyal newspapers and to pro-
claim martial law
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian pre-
mier, replying to Sir John Gordon

The Beers in the Transvaal have been

A GHAS7L Y 10 b.
skull Sent to n Young Lady of New
Haven

Boston, Jan. "a New Haven girl
who has been visiting friends in the
Back Bay was made the victim of
cruel Christmas joke, and she lays the
blame at the door of her brother, a
member of the hospital corps in the
Philippines and an enthusiastic med
ical student. Recent letters from the
young soldier caused the girl to believe
she was to receive something excep-
tionally valuable from the Philippines.
When a neatly packed box arrived, she
hastily opened it, but nearly tainted at
the sight of a grinning skull. There
was no explanation except that on the
box in strange handwriting was writ
ten her brothers name. Nervous pros
tration resulted as the young woman
believed her brother had been killed
Later she received a letter from him
explaining that he had forwarded the
skull of young Filipino soldier who
had died in the hospital and requested
her to keep it for him.

The POSSIBILITY OF WAR
EUROPE LOOKS WITH GREAT JEAL-
OUSY ON UNITED STATES.
Senator Hawiey's Declaration I'm the
Senate During IA Discussion of the
Army Reorganization Bili-TaliS Oh
the Acquisition of Danish Island Not
Liked Across the Water.

| Liked Across the Water.
| Washington, Jan. 3.-Without a mur-
mur of dissent and without a word OF
comment the Senate to-day displaced
the shipping subsidy bill from it's privi-
legged position as unfinished business
and substituted for it the army reorgan-
ization bill
| AT the conclusion of the reading of
/ the bill Mr. Hawley proposed that the
Senate proceed to the consideration of
the amendments. Mr.. Pettigrew pro-
| tested that some explanation of the
measure ought to be made by some
body. The necessity of an army of 1OO,-
600, he said, had not been pointed out.
He did not think it existed.
Mr.. Sewall, of New Jersey, said the
United States had had as high as $4,000
troops in the Philippines, and even now
had about 10000 men there. "If We are
to hold the Philippines continued Mr..
Sewall, I'VE will have to keep large
army there, perhaps for several years
to come. There is urgent necessity for
the passage of this BILL as troops must
be provided to take the places Of the
volunteers to the Philippines. l think
no Senator is in favor of abandoning
our flag in the Philippines or anywhere
else unless ii be the Senator from South
Dakota (Pettigrew)."
Mr.. Hoar inquired of Mr.. sewall
whether there had been any change IN
the situation in the islands since the
message Of the president was sent to
Congress
"They have changed very materially"
replied Mr.. Sewall. I'VE now have
more skirmishes there than at any time
almost since the beginning of the war
Mr.. Hawley declared: I'VE are not
altogether out of sight of some possibil-
ity of war with some European power.
We do not know They are in great
deal of trouble there, and | understand
they look with very great jealousy upon
our talk of Danish island and our talk
about acquiring other territory.
Mr.. Carter defended the proposed in
crease of the permanent army in view
of the temper of the Philippine people.
1t would be necessary to continue to po-
lice the islands for an indefinite time
FIe thought fully 10000 men would be
necessary for that purpose.
Mr.. Bacon asked how long a time
would be necessary to keep so large an
army in the Philippines, to which Mr..
Carter replied: THAT remains to be
seen"
Mr. Bacon-"Then the Senator recog-
nizes that the time may be indefinite?'
Mr. Carter-"That word indefinite
fits the situation very we'll
Mr.. Daniel then had read the resolu-
tions adopted by the House of Repre-
upon the death of the late
Representative Wise, of Virginia. He
then offered a resolution expressing the
sorrow of the Senate at the intelligence
of Mr. Wise's death, and at 4:1S p. M,
as a further mark of respect, the Senate

sequence of the alarming situation
created by the closing of the exposition

employment of thousands of people who
were dependent upon it for living and
who in many cases were cast upon the
streets, have resulted in no fewer than
1870 arrests during the month of De-
cember, of which vagrancy, drunken
ness and prostitution contributed the
greater number.
