WASHINGTON, June 1.—The War De- partment was informed to-day by cable that General Chaffee, with his troops on transport Sumner, had arrived at Nagasaki on the way to Manifia. The transport Kintuck, from Manila to Seat- tle, has arrived at Nagasaki. Acting Adjutant General Ward has re- ceived a cable message to-day from Gen- eral MacArthur saying that the transport Logan sailed from Manila yesterday for San Francisco by way of Nagasaki with two battalions of the Thirty-eighth Vol- unteer Infantry. Although every effort has been made to land the volunteers in this country be- fort the volunteer army goes out of ex- istence, it is not believed that it can be done with respect to all the regiments yet to start on their long voyage across the Pacific. To expedite the matter, cable instructions have been forwarded to Gen- eral MacArthur to send a mustering out officer with each regiment-on the trans- ports vet to sail, so as to have every- thing in readiness for their muster out on arrlving in San Francisco. A large corps of paymasters has been ordered to San Francisco to make the finai pay- ments, and there will be no delay in compiying with the law wpen the troops get home. Under the law the pay of the volunteer soldiers will cease June 20, and if they are not mustered out by that date Congress will have to make specific ap- propriations for their extra service. , 38 iR o PARIS, Ky., June 1—The noted race horse Flying Dutckman, the property of Clay & Woodford ot this city, dled yes- terday of catarrhal fever at the stock tarm of Ben Woodford.

MACHINISTS LEAVING SHOPS IN THE EAST Ranks of the Strikers Are Consid- erably Strengthened in Two Large Cities. CHICAGO, June 1.—Before poon all the 600 machinists employed at the South Chicago Shipyards went out on strike, and those, with others who quit in small shops, increased the total number of striking machinists to more than 1809, BUFFALO, N.

This is the play in which Julla Marlowe scored euch a success last season, and while it has been played in all the large cities in the East, this is 1ts first production fn the West. The central figures in the play are/ Angus, a blind beggar, and his grand- daughter Mary, who are instrumental in stirring up an insurrection against the Erglish in order that Charles Edward, known to the Scots as “Bonnie Prince Charlie,” may occupy an independent Scottish throne. Miss Roberts will be seen in Julla Marlogve's role of Mary, staining that of An- gus, in the portrayal of which Robert Taber zdded much to his reputation. To successfully portray the venerable char- acter of Angus, supposed to be 80 years of age, as weil as the youthful one of Romeo is difficult and speaks highly of the capabilities of Mr. Whittlesey. Of Miss Roberts, of course, little need be said. During her three previous seasons in_this city she has thoroughly estab- IL ed herself as a favorite. Her Sapho, Camille and Nell Gwynne stand pre-em- inent among the achievements of popular stars of the dav. Miss Roberts’ twelve weeks' stay here will be of duration, during which time she will appear in such plays as “Countess Valeska,” *“Schooi for Sean- dal,” “A Woman of No Importance,” “Sepho,” “Camille,” “Nell Gwynne."” two new plays by Charlotte Thompson and others. The Alcazar management has given the talented actress the strongest support she has ever had, and will spare no expense in giving her splendid repertoire suitable productiors. o3 FLORENCE ROBERTS, WHO BEGINS A LONG ENGAGE- MENT AT THE ALCAZAR. > i E ELEET OF FISHING BOATS IN A STORM Three Craft m:afipeur and Fifteen | Th. Men Are Supposed to Have Been Drowned. CHARLESTON, 8. C., June 1.—Fifteen fishermen are supposed to have been drowned in a wild squall yesterday after- neon while the~mosauito fleet of fishing boats was anchored off the fishing “patches.” The eight boats fishing at the time were scattered to the four winds, but all save three were accounted for to- night. The missing boats were the Anna Julia, the Messenger Boy and the Knife. There were fifteen men in the three boats. When the supposed disaster was report- ed the revenue cutter Forward went to sea and skirted for thirty miles around the lightship, but came back with the report that not a sign of life or a disabled Loat could be seen. All hope for the safety of the fishermen was abandoned at dark to- day, when the cutter got into port. It was thought during the day that the boats had drifted to places of shelter, but the failure of the Government vessel to find a trace of their whereabouts con- vinced the crowd of 'watchers on the wharves that the men are dead. Captain Joe Watkins of the Messenger Boy is the only white skipper supposed to have per- ished. o g e CONGER SOCON TO RETURN TO POST AT PEKING Commissioner Bockhfll Will Remain Until Negotiations Are Con- cluded. CALIL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 1.—Germany’s withdrawal of Fleld Marshal von Walder- gee and her reduction- of her force in Peking were consequent upon the accept- &nce bv China of the“indemnity ‘demand of the powers. This is the view of Spe- clal Commissioner Rockhill, as expressed in an official cablegram to Secretary Hay recelved this evening. Rockhill adds that the German force to be retained in Peking will be a brigade numbering 4000 men. Troops of other nationalities are also be- ing withdrawn. This is most satisfactory news to the administration, which is sat- isfied that negotiations will proceed rap- 1dly to a conctusion, especially as.prac- tically all (mpurmnt points have been de- termined.. Special Commissioner Rockhill is now at liberty to return home whenever he de- sires, but will probably remain until the negotiations end. Minister Conger has in- formed Secretary Hay that he will sail on July 7 for China, but as he will arrive after all the important questions are dis- posed of the administration is not so much concerned over his approaching de- parture as it otherwise would have been. IMPROVED CONDITION | OF MRS. McKINLEY yeicians Note a Gain in Her | Strength snd Are More Hope- ful of Recovery. WASHINGTON, June 1, midnight.—Mrs. McKinley has rested well up to this hour and has maintainel the improvement cited in the bulletin of the morning. There is every indication she will have another restful night and that to-mor- row's bulletin will show a more marked change for the better.

They sald after leaving the sick room the patient was, if any- thing, somewhat improved and that she | had had a comparatively restful day.

If she continues to gain strength so that | more hercic remedies may be resorted to in treating the illness with which she was prostrated on fhe coast and which still continues, there will be a brighter hope for her ultimate recovery. At the best slow progress will be made, as her| strength has been taxed to the extreme. —_— Palmer Takes Wright’s Place. SACRAMENTO, June 1.—W.' 8.

Former Chief Slvnnl Service Officer of the Army Dies at His Home in Washington. WASHINGTON, June 1.—Captain Hen- ry W. Howgate, formerly chief signal offi- cer in the United States army, died sud- denly this afternoon of cerebral hem- orrhage at his hom2 in this city. He was 67 years of age. Captain Howgate had a singular and eventful life. While a trusted officer of the signal service he was charged with appropriating a large amount of Govern- mert funds and placed under arrest. His escape and flight were attended with many dramatiec features, for by a ruse he gotaway from a Government officer having him in charge while the latter supposed kis prisoner was taking a bath. For years he remained in hiding, and not until Your years after his escape was he located by secret service detectives as proprietor of an obscure bookstore in New York. For some time before hi actual re-arrest, the authorities were aware of his presence in New York, but they were disinclined to take him into custody, as there was con- siderable doubt concerning the evidence in the old case. It was finally decided to bring him back, and former Chief Drummond made the arrest. He was brought back here, tried and convicted. After serving a sentence in the Albany County penitentiary, he ress turned to Washington last December. Captain Howgate was known as a scien- tist of abflity. He gave much attention to Arctic research and was the author of ! what is known as the Howgate coloniza- tion plan for reaching the north pole by means of stations along the route. His attainments were such that he would doubtless have made a name for himself in the sclentific world had it not been for his misfortunes. Capiain Howgate was born in England. In 1%€2 he was appointed a second lieu- tenant in the Twenty-second Michigan Volunteers and served to the end of the war with distinction, earning promotion for gallant and meritorious service in the battle of Chickamauga and in the At- lantic campaign.
