The German and Austrian guards have arrived at Peking. Tt is asserted that the Government fs d. laying the transmission of telegrams in | order to conceal the movements of the Boxers. Apparently the Chinese officials will do nothing to prevent the massacres and outrages unless the powers take some concerted action. SHANGHAI. June 4—A number of des- peradoes, disguised as passengers, have irated the British Yangtse steamer utwo. They committed wholesale rob- beries, terrorizing the passengers, who were quite unable to offer resistance. The telegraphing June 3, says: The Boxers have burned Huang Tsun station, on the Peking-Tientsin Railway. The rallway service s dislocated and the foreign to police the line. : services of a party of Cossacks were accepted on Sunday to accompany the re- lief party from Tientsin to rescue the mining engineers in the interior. The re- lief Paru‘ returned without fulfilling its mission. “Two Russian officers have been wounded by the Boxers and another Rus- sian detachment is sure to be sent ta punish the assailants. The repprted murders of the mission- arles appear to be fictitious, although the fate of one British missionary is causin anxiety. Chinese who are assoclated witl foreigners or with Christianity are being vigorously persecuted. British Interests in China. LONDON, June 5.—The Times, dealing editorially this morning with the Chinese situation. alludes to the immense British Interests in China and the enormous dam- age to the railway and other property that has already resulted from the action of the Boxers. It criticizes British di- plomacy in the past and points out the necessity for taking the lead in strong measures. “We should rejoice to do 80,” says the Times, “in comim.n& with our American kinsfolk, the only Western nation whose interests in the Far East are, perhaps. quite identical in most respects with our own, but that, of course, i a matter en- tirely for them to decide. In any case we must assert our hegemony on penalty of forfeiting it, and we must assert {t with energy and dispatch. Happily ‘the naval brigade from our fleet in Chinesa waters affords us the means needed for this step at the briefest possible notice.” TIENTSIN, June 4.—The Boxers are re- ported four ‘miles off, and an attack is expected. Everything Is_ready and the residents are confident. Thirty-five Ger- man missionaries arrived here this even- ing. Three Belglan engineers have ar- rived. The French Consul says eleven are xlal:xll missing, but there are hopes of saving em. D ESSORS MAKE PLEA ON BEHALF OF THE BOERS The professors of the leading universi- ties of the Netherlands have issued a manifesto to the professors of the Amer- ican universities appealing for their aid in stopping the Boer war. ° President Wheeler yesterday received a copy of the manifesto. It is signed by the members of the faculties of the Universities of Leyden, Utrecht, Groningen, Amsterdam, Free University of Amsterdam and the Delft Polytechnicum. The letter to the University of California Is as follows: { Colleagues, the horrible war which has now | for more than eix months been ravaging South Africa, impoverishing and exterminating its population, devastating its farms and threat- ening to destroy its civilization, compels us, professors of the universities of the Nether- lands, to apply to you, professors of the uni- Versities of the United States of America. We seek your assistance and your support before it 1s too late, before the overwhelming forces of an empire, encircling the globe and with inexhaustible resources, have crushed the two Dutch republics. Our ancestors, partly also yours and thelrs, once successfully fought at the cost of much biood and tears against a similarly overwheim- ing power for justice and liberty. Your an- cestors have fought the same enéemy that the weak republics are fighting to-day. And. sup- ported by the sympathy, yea the material as- | Sistance of our ancestors, they have succeeded | under great difficulties in establishing their independence, because they were convinced that & nation has the right, as ls stated in your glorious. Declaration of _Independence, “to organize its powers In such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their | safety and haopiness” desiring “‘to assume | among the powers of the earth the separate | and equal station to which the laws of na- ture and of nature’s God entitle them.'" | "In ‘the ‘name of those ‘ancestors, ours who | for elghty years fought Spain for thelr inde- | pendence, yours who after an eight years' | struggle shook off England’s yoke of “‘abso- | lute tyranny,” in the name of justice and lib- ask you: the efforts of the envoys of your two republics mow In your midst obtain from tl ‘who are to England peace in South Africa, with the preservation of their independence. The representatives of the United States of America have also signed the princioles of peace and pustice lald down at the Hugue conference. Many of your citizens have been amongst those who looked forward with glad anticipation to the meeting of this confe ence. Now that the opportunity presents self, even pushes itself to the foreground, let us do whatever we can for the realization of the beautiful idea of the Emperor of all the Russias, In order to further peace and justice in_the world. Do not forget that the natlonal existence is at stake of & nation belonging to the race which once afforded assistance and hospitality to the founders of your national existenc of the race which once assisted In_estabiis ing also your independence at the cost of val uable lives and possessions: of the race which has been the first to recognize the flag of your free union. Do not forget that in this war two of the most valuable possessions of man- kind are at staks, justice and liberty, without yiich no: worthy' natigual: exiatence 16 pheal- e. Therefore, we invoke with confidence your assistance and your support for the men of peace whc have repaired to you. Assist In enlightening your people and your Govern- ment, and perhaps also the people and the Government of Great Britain, and show them the way of justice, the only way worthy of a free nation. In o doing you will remain faithful to the device of our common ances- tors, & device which in their own language, having once become a battle cry, resounds, this time over the blood-stained flelds of South Africa: ‘“‘For Liberty and for Justice.'

Lieutenant ILees and two men were cap- tured while commandeering. Another pa- trol of the border horse numbering twenty men while pursuing a small party of Boers were surrounded and captured.

The Boers captured the entire party and after robbing the men of all but their clothing sent them to Urede, whence some of them managed to escape.

Investigation of Cuban Postal Frauds Shows That Early Estimates of Their Extent Were Too Modest. LT S HAVANA, June 4—Acting Director of | Posts Bristow to-day inquired as to the | amount of postal funds taken by C. F.| W. Neely in May, 1899, and ascertained | that it was $31,812 95. Neely's monthly | average was about $17,000. His system of | bookkeeping was simplicity itself. Ap- parently he merely divided the amounts | received, taking one-half for himself and accounting for the other half. ADVERTISEMENTS. TWO WELL-KNOWN CITIZE 0 ROBUST HEALTH, RESTORED T Mr. Tom A. Boone, Greensboro, Ga. Mr. Tom A. Boore, a prominent citi- This morning the examination of Estes G. Rathbone, former director of posts, | was continued. It Jasted more than four | hours. The most startling fact developed was that on May 26 of last year Mr. Rathe bone ordered Special Agents Leatherer and Sullivan to examine the accounts. They found a shortage, but it was not thought that anything had gone wrong. They reported, however, that there was no check upon the Bureau of Finance and they recommended that certain blank forms be made, which would answer the purpose, such as all Postmasters use when making their reports % the department monthly. Mr. Maynard, then chief agent, indorsed the recommendation and for- warded it to Mr. Rathbone. The latter approved it and sent it to Auditor Reeves, who initialed it and forwarded it to Neely. After he had initialed it, instead | of putting the scheme into operation, he | quietly pigeonholed it and it did not see | the light until May 15 of this year, when | the plan was put into effect. | Mr. Bristow says he is almost sure| that the extent of the steal will amount | to something between $30,000 and $100,000, | but that this will not touch the item of | surcharge stamps, which is $411,000. As| to how many of these were burned and | how many sold it is impossible to obtain | definite information. As many have been | traced, it is known positively that all! were not destroyed, but if Neely sold, say fifty or a houndred thousand dollars’ worth, it would not be surprising, Mr. Bristow §hinks, to find them scattered all over the world. The postal inspectors say it is astonishing that a system so rotten could have been concealed beyond the first month. Every day only adds to the surprise: Hopes are expressed by some of the local papers that, as Governor Roosevelt has signed the extradition order, no fur- ther time will be wasted in bringing Neely to trial. The Cubano says: “Cuba is not primarily interested, but she looks to see what the United States will ‘do. Fraud is not the monopoly of any natfon; and there is great difference between the frauds of the Postoffice and those committed under the Spanish re- gime. Now thorough investigation is be- ing made with a view of punishing the criminals. In former days the criminals | went scot free. The Americans are prov- | ing themselves more honest than the | Government which ruled Cuba for four hundred year: GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT ON NEELY’S THEFTS| ALBANY, N. Y., June 4.—Governor | Roosevelt to-night made public his rea- | sons for granting the application for the extradition of C. F. W. Neely, implicated in the Cuban postal frauds. He said: “] went over the briefs submitted to | me by both sides carefully, and also con- | sulted very carefully with the Attorney | General in the matter. While admitting | that an argument could be made on both | sides, it seemed perfectly clear to me that in both law and morals it was my | duty to grant the extradition of Mr. | Neely. I was glad that the decisions be. ore me warranted this actlon, because I feel that the reasons for granting an ex tradition in the case of another State ap- | ply with tenfold greater force in the ! case of Cuba, where the United States is bound by every consideration to see that | its officials give it an administration that ghall be, literally stainless in point of in- | egrity.

Declares It to Be the Duty of Con- gress to Free This Country From the Provisions of the Treaty. S WASHINGTON, June 4.—Senator Mor- gan, from the Committee on Interoceanic Canals, to-day favorably reported a reso- lution for the abrogation of the Clayton- As reported the resolu- tion reads: That the treaty known as the Clayton-Bul- wer treaty between United States, which was concluded on 19th day of April, 150, is abrogated Morgan made a written report travers- ing the grounds for the abrogation of the treaty in considerable detail. The report is practically a plea for the House Nicaragua canal bill. In it, Sen- the | ator Morgan says that “if the Clayton- Bulwer treaty stands in the way of the purposes of our Government, it must give way to the paramount law if the House bill is enacted into a statute of the United States.” He admits, however, that it is a ques- tion whether it is an obstruction. The effect of the Hay-Paunceforte negotiation is discussed in detail and the conclusion is drawn that “as to all that relates to the canal, the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, if it is_ ratified, terminates and abrogates the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.” But if the Senate should reject the Hay- Paunceforte treaty, he sald, the startling question will be raised whether the Sen- ate, in the exercise of its treaty-making power, can abdicate or paralyze its treaty-making power. “Can one-third of the Senate, by de- feating the Hay-Pauncefote negotiation, he asks, ‘“‘compel a majority of the Sen- ate to abstain from enacting the House bill because the Clayton-Bulwer treaty would be thereby put into full effect as a bar to such actions?” In conclusion, the report says that “if the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is in force and if Great Britain so Insists, it is the clear duty of Congress to declare that it Is abrogated.” If the treaty is abrogated the conclu- sion is that the way is cleared for propos- ing to Nicaragua and Costa Rica such terms as may. ing in those States whatever rights and powers they are at liberty to concede to | enable the United States to construct and | control the canal, and also to open the way for such a general declaration as to the neutrality of the canal as shall meet the approbation of the civilized powers. “If 311- resolution is rejected and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is not ratified we will be left,” says the report, “to the alternative we should now_accept of de- claring that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty cannot stand as a P tual barrier, if such is the rfleuura of Great Britain, against the fiht of the United States to construct a ship canal in connection with Nicaragua to connect the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. “The passage of the ending should be the first step in the rndls nsable movement, and the Senate should not permit the conclusion it may have reached on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which is a minor consideration, to obstruct the will of the majority of this body in its action on the House bill.” OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.| Pensions, Postoffice Changes and Army Orders.
