A special dispatch from Shanghai, dated Thursday, says: An unconfirmed report has reached there from Tien-Tsin to the effect that a foreign legation has been burned and that a minister has been killed. The names, it is added, are withheld, pending a confirmation of the report. Later reports from Tien-Tsin confirm the news of tte burning of the Japanese legation, but the rumor that a minister has been murdered is not confirmed. It is regarded as certain that the Japanese government will take active steps concerning the murder of the chancellor of the Japanese legation. A special from Shanghai says the positions of the legations at Peking are most critical. According to this dis- patch 30.000 Chinese troops are drawn up outside the gates of the city to op- pose the relief force, and guns are train- ed on the American, British and Japan- ese legations. The American, Russian and Japanese ministers have sent cour- iers to Tien-Tsin asking for 2,000 troops of each nationality. This is the situation in China as it ap- pears to a Shanghai correspondent, ca- bling Thursday evening: “It is really a state of veiled war. The members of the foreign legation in Pekin are virtually prisoners, and the Chinese troops are only restrained from attacking them by fear of the legation guards. The gates are guarded by 100,- ooo imperial troops. The gates are heavily defended with modern guns. Gen. Tung, acting under orders from the empress dowager, says that no for- eign troops shall enter the sacred city. “The streets of Pekin are reported to be seething with anti-foreign mobs, clamoring for the destruction of the le- gations and the deaths of the foreign ministers. Even were the Tsung Li amen disposed to restrain the violence of the re-actionaries, it is considered highly improbable that they will be able to hold them in check. or the foreign ministers the crisis will arise when the relief column comes in sight of Pekin. It is still felt that the foreign force is wholly inadequate to battle with the hordes of Chinese troops massed out- side the gates, which now include the imperial troops from Shan-Hai-Kwan.” rom Tien Tsin it is reported that the foreign forces in the harbor will at- tack the Taku forts, and if necessary bombard them. Gen. Neih is moving 2.500 troops from Iu-Tai to Chun Lai Cheng. Gen. Tung's Shanghai troops are moving to Pekin. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the ships of the Russian Pacifi squadron on the active list, as well as those at Vladivostock, have been order- ed to proceed, with all haste, to Chi- nese waters. Orders have been issued to the con- tingent of British troops assembled at Hong Kong for service in the north to sail for Tien Tsin June 14. Maj. Mor- ris. of the artillery, will be in command. Telegrams from Manila, dated Mon- day, 10 a. m.,. say: The B Ninth regi- ment has been ordered to Manila, whence it will proceed to China. The gunboat Concord, with marines aboard, has sailed under sealed orders, suppos- edly for China. The British cruiser Bonaventura has sailed for Kongkong with troops and stores for Hongkong and Tien-Tsin. Telegrams from Hongkong, dated Monday, say: All the unprotected for- eign buildings in Peking have been de- stroyed. Hundreds of natives have been murdered. he “Boxers” have cut the railway behind the column of British, Ameri- can and other foreign marines sent by British Admiral Seymour to the re- lief of Peking. This has shut off the column's supplies. The column is re- ported to have had an engagement with the Chinese, but with what result is not stated. All wires to Tien-Tsin are cit. The cruiser Terrible and a transport with 700 troops have sailed for North China. The armored cruiser Undaunt- ed left suddenly for the North Satu: day under sealed orders. The cruiser Bonaventura is expected from Manila to-day to coal and rush north. The sloop Rosario and two torpedo boat destroyers will leave soon. The suth- ern provinces of China are still quiet. - The United States battleship Oregon is taking on coal and provisions here preparatory to leaving. Great activity is displayed by the British naval authori- ties in Hongkong. SPENDING A FORTUNE. A West Chester, Pa., Man Precludes Possi- bility of a Battie Over his Money. In order to preclude the possibility of a contest over his will after he is dead, John G. Taylor, of West Chester, a., is now engaged in expending a fortune of $100,000 in monuments. Mr. Taylor's avowed purpose is to use all his money in improving Lafay- ette cemetery, on “the heights of Brandy- wine battlefield, a short distance from the spot where General Lafayette fell, wounded in battle. The bodies of Tay- lor's father, mother, sister, wife and child. are buried there. Quietly and without ceremony, Mr. Taylor unveiled his fourth monument. The shaft is of white enameled brick, containing a niche in which is a life- size figure of Christ in marble. The statue was made in Carrara, Italy. Near this pile Mr. Taylor has completed the base of a $25,000 monument commemo- rate of General Lafayette. ASK FOR CONCESSION. Cuban Planters in Financial Straits as a Result of the War. Telegrams from Havana say: Senor Perfecto Lacoste, secretary of agricul- ture, has presented a petition to Govern- or General Wood asking that all own- ers of properties destroyed by the war who succeed in making private arrange- ments with their creditors between this date and May 1, 1901, may be declared exempt from the payment of all fiscal taxes on documents. ¢ says he asks this smail concession for the planters, many of whom are en- tirely in the hands of their creditors, and would probably not be able to go to the expense of paying stamp dues. In numerous instances the creditors, Senor Lacoste says, hope to drive very profitable bargains, and will not come to any terms with their debtors, owing to the enormous gains they expect to make when able to enforce their claims and get the properties at one-fourth of their value. Gen. Grant Wins a Victory. Gen. Grant, who led reinforcements, with artillery, against the insurgents in the mountains east of Samiegut, geports the capture of the rebel stronghold. af- ter four hours’ fighting. The rebels were scattered, and the Americans are pursuing them. Gen. Grant's column had no casualties. Gen. MacAr thar at Manila cabled Tuesday as follows: “Report capture of Gens. Hizon, near Mexico, and Caves- tany, at Alcalo, both important; latter very important leader of guerrillas in Pangasinan province, Luzon.” These captures are more in the nature of sur- renders than captures, and indicate that the principal leaders of the insurrec- tion are coming to Manila to accept American supremacy.

REBELS BADLY BENTEN LAST WEEK STRONGHOLD TAKEN. Sixty Filipinos Killed and 200 Captured by Our Troops—Americans Lost Three Men. Civil Commission at Work. Telegrams from Manila, dated Sunday, say The United States forces had two en- gagements of importance last week. The troops under Gen. Funston and Gen. Grant organized an advance, with parts of five regiments and two guns, against 500 rebels in a mountain strong- hold east of Biachabata, where it was suppased Capt. Roberts, of the Thirty- fifth regiment, who was captured last month at San Miguel de Mayumo, was held captive. The Americans operated under many difficulties and over an ex- ceedingly rough country; but the rebels retreated, only a few resisting and the stronghold was occupied and burned. As the result of last week's scouting 60 Filipinos were killed, 200 were cap- tured and 3co rifles with 25,000 rounds of ammunition were surrendered. Fhree Americans were killed.

The commerce of the United States in the fiscal year, which ends this month, will by far exceed that of any preceding year; its exports will surpass those of any earlier year by more than $150,000,000, and its exports of manu- factures will exceed those of any pre- ceding year by more than $75,000,000. As to the details of this wonderful year, every class of articles shows an in- crease. Manufactures, as already indi- cated, will show an increase of more than $75,000,000; products of agriculture will show an increase of nearly $50,000,- 000; products of the mine: an increase of nearly $10,000,000; those of the forest about an equal sum; fisheries are $2.- 000,000 larger than last year, and the miscellaneous class shows a marked in- crease. Probably the largest increase is in manufactures of iron and steel, though cotton will show a considerable increase, owing to the marked advance in price. Nearly all grades of mani- factures of iron and steel show an ad- vance. Other lines of manufacture show a large advance. Leather and its manufac- tures show an increase from $19,000,000 to nearly $23,000,000 during the period under consideration, and mineral oils an increase from $40,000,000 to $56,000,000, though this increase is chiefly due to the advance in price, the quantity exported in the 10 months ending with April, 1899, being 650,000,000 gallons and that for the 10 months ending with April, 1900, 684,000,000 gallons. A review of our foreign trade in agri- cultural foreign products during the 10 fiscal years 1890-'99, compiled by Frank H. aa chief of the foreign mar- kets section of the agricultural depart- ment, was made public Saturday night It shows that the average annual agri- cultural imports for the past decade amounted to about $387.000,000, while the total imports of all kinds averaged about $750,000,000 During the first half of this decade, the average of agri- cultural imports was $406,365,441, or over 51 per cent. of all Imps of agri- cultural exports, $669,644,253 or 75.32 per cent.; and the excess of agricultural exports over agricultural imports aver- aged $263,278,812 annually. For the re- maining five years, the annual av eras of agricultural imports was $3066.664.703, or over 51 per cent. of the whole; of agricultural exports, $694,874,000, or ov- er 68 per cent. of all domestic exports, and the agricultural exports exceeded agricultural imports by an average of $327,000,202 annually. In 1809, for the fourth time in the history of our foreign commerce, the annual value of domestic merchandise exported by this country exceeded $1,000,000,000. INDIANS ON. WARPATH. The Chippewa Tribe in Minnesota Heavily Armed and Prepared for Hostilities. The 1,800 Chippewa Indians on the Leech lake reservation, Northern Min- nesota, are again on the warpath, and white people are in great danger. Unit- ed States Marshal Grimshaw has been notified of the trouble, and a big force of deputy marshals has been ordered to the scene. The reds have been growing ugly for a long time past, having been made bold by the fight of two years ago on Bear point, when seven soldiers were killed. Nearly every one of the 1,800 Indians on the reservation is well armed with a repeating rifle, and it is known that they have stacks of ammunition ready for instant use. The red men have sent runners to all parts of the agency, par- ticularly Cass lake and to Ball club, where there are large settements, with instructions that all of the red men arm themselves at once and come to Walk- er, where a council of war is now being held on Squaw point. EATEN UP BY ANTS. Indians Wreak Horrible Vengeance Upon a White Abductor. A mining man who reached El Paso, Tex., from the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, Tuesday, tells a story of horrible punish- ment recently inflicted on a prospector named Wilson, by Mayo Indians. Wil- son is said to have decoyed a girl to his camp in the mountains. She finally es- caped to tell the story. Wilson was brought to camp. It was ordered that he be put to dcaih. He was stripped of his clothing and bound across an ant hill infested by large red ants. After many hours of horrible suf- fering, as the insects slowly gnawed away his flesh, Wilson. expired. Wilson was reputed to be a fugitive from justice from Oklahoma. A Deadly Explosion. Three men were killed and 14 persons were injured Saturday by an explosion of gunpowder and dynamite used in the manufacture of fireworks at Philadel- phia, Pa. It is not known just how the accident occurred, but it is believed that the three men who were killed were smoking in the room containing the ex- plosives and that sparks from one of their pipes fell into the powder or dyna- mite. The house was completely wrecked and every other dwelling in the block was damaged. more or less seriously. None of the injured are seriously hurt. Banker Bought a Gold Brick. William Kerr, president of the Adams County bank, of Hastings, Neb, is the possessor of a gold brick that has cost him $13,600. Several days since a stranger met Kerr at Hastings. He said he was a friend of his cousin, Albert Kerr. The stranger said he had dis- covered a mine of fabulous wealth in Old Mexico. He asked Kerr to go to Leavenworth, Kas.,, where he ‘had a specimen of the gold, guarded by an Indian partner, in a cave. here a brick was produced, a por- tion of it was taken to Kansas City and the assay showed the brick to be worth years. $18,000. GOT RICH ON WHEAT. Remarkable Record of an Oklahoma Family Who Began Penniless and in Debt. Four years ago, without a dollar and in debt; to-day worth $100,000. That is the record made by one family in wheat raising in Oklahoma—a fortune of $100,000 in four years, half of that money cash in the bank. They will net the other half in cash within two weeks, for the 150,000 bushels of wheat they are now holding. . The Miller family operate the “U ranch, nine miles southwest of Guthrie. The ranch has 40,000 acres of land that is divided in half by the Salt Fork river. Of this land 6.000 acres are in wheat, 1,100 in corn, 200 in oats, 600 in sorghum, 1,200 in hay and 1,100 in wat- ermelons and muskmelons. On this ranch is one wheat field of 2,250 acres three miles long and 2% miles broad, a solid wheat field without a fence or road through it. The harvest on this ranch began last week. Twenty- five reaping machines began at once working in a row one after the other. The first swath cut was five miles long around one wheat field. The reapers cut and bind 60 acres a day. The cut- ting will be done this week. Threshing will begin next Monday. A harvest of 150,000 bushels of wheat will be gather- ed. It will be sold from the thresher in the field for cash, all except 5,000 bushels, which has been sold for seed at 30 cents a bushel more than the reg- ular market price of ordinary. Mr. Miller contracted to sell the first 10,000 bushels threshed at 52 cents a bushel, regardless of quality. TORNADO CAME BACK. Swept Through Beatrice, Neb., Twice Over the Same Path. Beatrice, Neb., was visited Wednes- day afternoon by a tornado, which did considerable damage in the western and northern parts of the city. he storm struck the West end about a half mile from the city limits, and tore its way down Court street, breaking off large trees here and there in its path as though they were straws. Small building were picked up and whisked away and shingles blown from the roofs of more substantial houses. One large eight-room house was lift- ed a couple of feet off the ground and dropped back again on its foundation, while its frightened occupants vainly strove to hold the doors shut. A pig pen, together with its shed and one porker, was picked up, carried over ‘house tops and deposited on the bank of the river, a half mile away. A barn in North Beatrice was blown away and a horse in it killed. The storm moved from west to east, then northwest, and then, making a complete turn, came down again in West Beatrice, passing again over its former route. At one place a piece of scantling was wrenched from a porch, carried about a hundred yards and driven into the ground about 4 feet. The twister finally bore away to the north and east. No reports from other districts have come in yet. The storm was preceded by a heavy rain, which cleared away as the wind passed. Many narrow escapes from injury are report- d. COLOMBIA REVOLUTION. Large Armies Face Each Other—Results in Great Doubt. Although there is much conflict as to the status of the revolution in Co- lombia all advices agree that armies ag- gregating 235,000 or 30,000 men have been facing each other with sanguinary results. The Colombian charge at Washing- ton, D. C.,, Dr. Luis Cuervo-Marquez, states that the official information com- ing from the Colombian capital showed that the revolutionists had been forced back to the Venezuelan frontier. e says the government has an army of 70,000 men at various points, and that the main body of about 15,000 men has borne the brunt of recent engage- ments. They are armed with Mauser rifles, with Remington smokeless pow- der and have Maxim rapid-fire guns and heavier field guns of the Creusot make. The revolutionists have Mausers and Maxims. The revolutionists also have a gunboat and another vessel used for transport and fighting purpos The government has four gunboats, ‘three on the Atlantic and one-on the Pacific side. The revolutionists are well organiz- ed, not only on the field but abroad, with influential friends. In official quarters it is stated that some of the countries adjacent to Co- lombia, notably Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua, are lending assistance to the revolutionists, and that its effect may be more far-reaching on this ac- count. Official advices from Carthagena and Bogota give details of the revolution in Colombia. The complete and utter ov- erthrow of the rebels in Santander oc- curred after a battle lasting 21 days, the government forces remaining masters of the field. The casualties were 1,800 dead, belonging to the enemy; 2,000 wounded and 1,800 prisoners of war. Among the prisoners was Gen. Vas Santos, who is now on his way to pris- on. The revolutionist, Gen. Avelino Rosas, was captured at Cartago, and the rebellion seems to be virtually at an end. Six Instantly Killed. Six men were instantly killed and an- other fatally injured on a logging rail- road at Cammal, about 36 miles from Williamsport, Pa., Jednesday after- noon. The train jumped the track in some unaccountable manner and plung- ed down a 300-foot embankment. Both fireman and engineer were instantly kill- ed as also were four Italian laborers. The cars and engine were literally smashed in kindling. Fearless Missionaries. Notwithstanding the disturbed condi- tion of the Chinese empire 17 out of 40 missionaries, newly appointed by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign ~Mis- sions, will start for China at once. Ten are women. They will not wait to learn of the outcome of the present troubles. CABLE FLASHES. Over 360 native Christians are said to have been burned at the stake in China. Kaiser Wilhelm was present at the opening of the new Elbe-Trave canal at Lubeck. Lord Roberts is being criti not trying to capture Botha's instead of marching toria. In a collision near London three per- sons were killed and 61 injured, most of them persons en route to the Wind- SOr races. United States Ambassador and Mrs. White, at Berlin, gave a large dinner in honor of President Daniel C. Gil- man, of Johns Hopkins University. The Berlin police are hunting R. E. H.

The London war office casualty re- turns up to June 9 aggregate 23,604, be- sides 792 officers and 12,355 men sent home as invalids, but not including the sick in South African hospitals. It is reported that General Roberts is carrying on peace negotiations with Presidents Kruger and Steyn in order that the English army may be available ised for troops, into deserted Pre- for usé elsewhere as soon as possible. BOER WAR APPRONCHNG THE END REPORTS FROM LONDON. A British Division Will Likely See Service in China. Roberts telegraphed as follows from Pretoria on Saturday: by Baden-Powell. A column starts from this place to-morrow to meet Baden- Powell and repair the telegraph between Pretoria and Rustenburg. unter is moving from Potchefstroom. His ad- vance brigade expects to reach Joh | nesburg June 19. Buller, I hope, is at | Standerton. Heidelberg will be occu- pied from this place shortly, and then the Orange river colony will be com- | pletely cut off from the Transvaal. 3aden-Powell reports that the district through which he passed is setting down n satisfactorily. Over 1,000 stands of arms were surrendered and Hans Eloff and Piet Kruger, son of the president, were to make submission to him yes- terday, having been previously disarmed on their farms. Botha's army has re- tired and is believed to be at Middle- burg. His rear guard was surprised an entirely routed by Ian Hamilton's mounted infantry. There are some indications that Rob- erts considers the end of the struggle in South Africa not far distant. Onc of these is the fact that the Natal volun- teers, who had seen hard service, were dismissed to their homes by Gen. Buller Saturday. Another indication is the re- port that a complete division of regulars is to be withdrawn from Gen. army and embarked at Durban for China. The troops drawn from India will probably go next. President Kruger, according to a dis- patch from Lourenzo Marques, keeps a locomotive with steam up attached to the car in which he concentrates the ex- ecutive offices of the government and to establish Nel Spruit, in the mountains, a fine de- fensive region. THE NOBLE RED MAN. the National Conventions. The original inhabitant of the Ameri- becoming civilized to the extent of showing interest in national politics, and one of the picturesque features of dian delegates selected from among the inhabitants of the Indian Territory. Among the number will be an Indian woman. The delegates are all said to be wealthy, and go to Philadelphia on a special train. They have declared for William McKinley and a good time. For nearly half a century the Choe- taws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, and Seminoles have maintained separate by about 250 officers each. five tribes must be abolished and these politicians are getting into American politics. Already the Republican In- dians and the Democratic Indians have met at Purell and South McAlister re- spectively, and selected their own dele- gates. The Republicans will send four half-breeds and seven f{uli-bloods, and the Democrats six full-bloods and three half-breeds. Besides the regular delegates about 30 full-blood Indians will accompany their friends to Phila- delphia to hurrah for McKinley. Hawaii is sending a delegation to the convention. Hawaii was not included in the call for the convention, as it was not a territory at that time. Four delegates and as many alternates were chosen, only two delegates. SAMPSON-SCHLEY DECISION.

ANOTHER BRITISH DEFEAT. Ashantis Successful in Checking the Advance of Imperial Army. Telegrams from Akkra, Gold Coast, dated Tuesday, say: etails have been received here of another serious re- verse to the relief column under Colonel Carter and Major Wilkinson, a day's march north of the Prah. There were heavy casualties. The latest rumors re- port a further disaster to a detachment on the north bank of the Prah, which is now flooded. tis were found strongly entrenched.
