The Hague, May 7.-Advices received
here from Castle Loo late yesterday de-
clare that Queen Wilhelmina's condi-
ton again excites grave anxiety. An
other consultation of the queens doc
tors was held. The result of this con-
sultation is not known. Extreme Sc
crecy is maintained as to the contents
of the kilograms dispatched from Loo
Palace. This and other measures are
believed to indicate that the condition
of her majesty is much graver than
appears from the official bulletins. It
is said that the queen is so weak that
she has been unable to take any nour-
ishment since last Saturday.
Dr. Roessingh never leaves her ma
jesty's bedside except for a brief and
much-needed rest, when he is always
replaced by DR.. Pot. DR.. Roessingh
very carefully dictates whatever news
concerning Queen Wilhelmina's condi-
ton is issued from the palace, and he
declines to say anything further con-
corning his patient. It is understood
that although the official bulletins rep
resent the queens temperature as nor
NAL, it invariably rises towards mid-
night, and that never for a moment
since last Saturday has there been any
cessation of anxiety.

Manila April 23-Two engagements
have been fought between American
troops and the Moros of the Island of
Mindanao during the last As hours.
Moore. of the Twenty-seventh Infan-
try, while out with a small party,
hunting for water, was fired upon at
long range. Lieutenant Colonel Frank
y. Baldwin, with a battalion of troops
and a mountain gun. went to the as
sistance of Moore's party and drove
off the Moros who lost seven men. The
firing was at 100 yards range.
The Moro villages were flying red
flags, meaning that they intended to
fight to the Uttermost Later, Sultan

Brigadier General Davis, in com
mand at Zamboanga, Island of Minda-
mao. has acknowledged the receipt
from Washington of Instructions to
withdraw his troops from Mindanao,
but he urges that, owing to the pres
ent state Of affairs, the withdrawal of
the troops will result in the absolute
loss of American prestige among the
MOros in Mindanao. His orders, how
ever. are explicit. Lieutenant Colonel
Baldwin and his forces are beyond the
reach of the telegraphic instructions
from Washington.
Washington, April 29.-The war de-
partment has instructed General
Chaffee to delay the departure of the
proposed expedition into Mindanao
until after the receipt of further di.
rections from Washington. The presi
dent desires to exhaust all other
means of effecting the capture of the
Moros who murdered American sol
| diers before dispatching an armed
expedition for that purpose. Mean
while. however, that portion of Gen
| eral Davis command which was Sc
lected for the journey will still be held
in readiness, and all preparations VI

Washington, April 2S.-Although no
statement is yet obtainable as to the
reasons for dissolving the Smith court
martial. it is understood that the
president is desriOus that he himself
should review the proceedings of the
court martial instead of having this
reviewed at Manila, as would have
been the case had General Chaffee
convened the court.
General Corbin stated that there
was no significance in the order, ex-
cept that it permits the president to
review the proceedings of the court
and will avoid any legal entangle-
ments that might have arisen if the
order of General Chaffee naming the
court had been allowed to stand. An
order was issued yesterday converting
the court, the members being named
as selected by General Chaffee. The
court will meet tomorrow.

IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE

No referee has as yet been selected for the
coming contest between Kid Carter of Brook
lyn and Tommy Ryan, which is to be held at
Fort Erie on Sept. Is, and 1t looks as if the
question is going to some trouble. The
fighters favor either George Siler, Tim Hurst
or Honest" John Kelly, but thus far the
club has not set it's seal of approval.
1t appears that Ryan objected to E. H.
Mcbride, the official referee of the Inter-
national A. c., where the battle is to come
off, and Manager Herman of the club then
requested both fighters to give him the names
OF at least four men who would be acceptable
to both. Ryan, besides naming Siler Kelly
and Hurst, picked Charlie White, while Car
ter in addition suggested Jim Corbett. The
club has now the privilege of taking one Of
the three above named men. and the selec-
ton will be made some time next week.
