BOTH SIDES RETIRE.
Troops Withdrawn From Disputed
Land at Tien Tsin.
BERLIN, March 25 The war office
has the following from Count von
Waldersee:
"The Anglo-Russian dispute at Tien
Tsin has been settled from a military
standpoint in a manner satisfactory
to both parties at a conference be
tween Generals Wogack and Barrow.
Both guards and posts have been
withdrawn and salutes have been ex
changed. The British declare that no
offense to the Russian flag was in
tended and that the allege removal
of the Russian boundary marks was
neither by the command nor with the
knowledge of the military authorities.
The work on the disputed land will
not be continued until the govern
ments nave reached an agreement as
to its possession or until a special un
derstanding has been attained."
PEKIN, March 25. The troops on
both sides of the disputed land at
Tien Tsin have been withdrawn, and
all danger of a fracas is ended. The
opinion of the British is that the
promptness oi General Barrow in call
ing up the marines from Taku pre
vented a .collision. The British re
port that prior to the arrival of the
marines sentries ..were supplied from
the Madras Pioneers, who for several
days were surrounded by crowds of
foreign soldiers mostly French, who
assailed tnem with all kinds of abuse,
calling them "coolies." The Madrasses
were becoming restive when the ma
rines arrived at night and quietly re
lieved tnem, and it was only when
daylight appeared that the Russians
discovered the change.
WHY BOTHA DECLINED.
Kitchener Refused Complete Amnesty
to Leaders.
LONDON, March 25. The Daily
Chronicle, professing to be able to
give an outline of the negotiations be
tween Lord Ktchener and General
Botha, says:
"The chief obstacle to a settlement
was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders of
the rebels in Cape Colony. He offered
self-government on the lines of Jama
ica immediately upon the cessation of
hostilities, with legislative bodies
partly elected by the burghers. The
government agreed to provide 1
000,000 to compensate Boers for prop
erty destroyed and articles comman
deered by the Boers on commando,
provided the signatures of the of
ficers who. commandeered the goods
were forthcoming. He also offered to
grant loans on easy terms for rebuild
ing and restocking farmsteads. More
over, he agreed that children should
be instructed in English or Dutch, at
the discretion of their parents. The
government undertook to make no
claim on church property or funds, or
upon hospitals or hospital funds, or
upon private Investments. No burgher
of either state was to be allowed to
possess a rifle,., except by special li
cense. " ,
"General Botha was generally in
favor of these conditions, but he dis
sented strongly from a proposal to
give the full privilege of citizenship to
properly domciled and registered
blacks. He was also greatly con
cerned about the position Jewish cap
italists would occupy In the country,
and was told that Jews and Chris
tians would enlov pmial rio-hto iD
tinction being maue in the matter of
concessions.
. MUST REFUND THE BONDS.
Pina County, Ariz., Will Pay for
the Experiment.
PHOENIX, Ariz., March 25. The
territorial supreme court today hand
ed down: an important decision in the
matter of the Pina county bonds. It is
held that the territory must refund
these bonds, amounting now, with in
terest, to $352,000. Incidentally, the
opinion re-establishes the territorial
loan commission which the legisla
ture sought two years ago to abol
ish. iThe bonds, amounting to
$200,000 were issued by Pina -county
under an act of the legisla
ture of 1883 to encourage the con
struction of a narrow-gauge railroad
from Tucson to Globe. The road
was begun but never finished, and
though these bonds had been turned
over to the promoters, the county re
fused to pay the , interest. All the
bonds are held in New Tork.

A RIVER OF FIRE.
Flaming Oil Destroyed New Jersey
Village.
NEW YORK, March 26. A river of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village of Glengarden, N. J., while its
inhabitants were asleep this morning,
and reduced 11 buildings, stores and
residences to ashes. The conflagra
tion was extraordinary in character,
and in its origin. The village is in a
valley along the New Jersey Central
Railroad. An immense freight' train
was coming east at 6:30 A..M. It was
composed of a string of coal cars, and
18 tank cars. High above the village
the tracks of the railroad run along
the side of a .mountain. They descend
as they approach the village, but even
at the station are. considerably above
the main street, which runs up to the
depot at a steep incline. ,
A few miles west . of the village,
while coming down the incline around
the mountain the train parted. The
engineer on the forward end pulled
open the throttle of the engine
and tried to race away from
the section, which was increasing
its speed every second. He man
aged to keep clear of the racing
cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first. The first sec
tion, composed of the coal cars, was
going at a high rate of speed, and
none of its cars were jolted off the
track. The oil tanks on the runaway
section were hurled sideways across
the tracks, and the oil tank cars be
hind were piled on top of it in every
way. The first crash caused the oil
in one of the tanks to explode, and
ignite, and the terrific heat caused tne
other cars to explode, one after the
other. The incline running from the
depot down to the main street acted
as a sluice for the burning oil, and it
poured into the chief thoroughfare of
me village, setting fire to every thing
it touched. . Houses, 'fences, trees,
shrubbery and barns were reduced to
ashes in an incredibly short time.
Villagers awakened oy the explo
sions rushed from the on-coming flood
of blazing oil, carrying children in
their arms. Some risked iheir lives to
free horses, cows and dogs in outbuild
ings, but other unfortunate animals
could not be reached in time, and were
burned. Within five minutes after the
first explosion the flowine river of oil
had reached the Masonic Temple in
the heart of the village and ten min
utes later that structure was envel
oped in flames. Then building after
building, all of them frame, took fire
as the oil reached them, and within
half an hour an area of 400 feet square
was a mass of flame. From the
wrecked cars the oil flowed down the
incline of the railroad track, making a
long line of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted the tracks. The
loss-is estimated at from $60,000 to
$75,000.

arose largely from alleged undue In

personally on the matter of these
claims, he was told by the grand

ANXIOUS TO ASSIST CHINA.
Ministers Desire to Put Her on Her
Feet.
PEKIN, March 25. Thtf British
headquarters here report the with
drawal or both the Russian and Brit-
ish troops from the disputed terri
tory in Tien Tsin. M. De Giers, the
Russian minister to China, believes
that everything will be amicably ad
justed at London and . St. Peters--
burg, and doubts the probability of
jurtner irouDie m the matter. Gen
eral Voyron, commander of tie
French troops, has ordered a new
regiment to Tien Tsin to replace the
one now here.. French officers here
'think it was a mistake to leave a
regiment recruited in a city at Tien
Tsin. . This regiment was. composed
of a tough Paris element.
At the meeting of. tne ministers
held this morning, the only question
considered was that of policing the
legation quarters. A committee of
commissioners has been appointed to.
discover China's resources and re
port on her ability to pay the indem
nity to be demanded by the powers.
Many ministers are strongly, op
posed to China's having to pay to
keep an army of from 10,000 to 12,-"
000 men ere for the next two years,
thinking this entirely unnecessary.
Even those ministers who were here
during the siege were tired of see
ing Pekin a military camp. . They
hope China will be put on her feet
as soon as possible.
TO RE-MARK BOUNDARY.
United States Expert Will Define

SEATTLE, March 25. C. H. Sin

within a short time to re-mark the
international boundary in the Mount
Baker cistrict. Captain J. F. Pratt,
of the United States coast and geo
detic survey, stated today that the
boundary is not to be changed, but
is simply to be re-marked. Obliterated
posts, monuments and other land
marks will be restored and new ones
will be placed, to bring the marks
close together and prevent the possi
bility of error in the future.
The geological features of the expe
dition will be conducted by E. C. Ber
nard, and will De simply an affirma
tion of records already .made.
It is thought that a Canadian com
mission may be present whue the line
is being re-defined as a precautionary
measure, and to prevent any future
difficuties over errors in the re-marking.

TOOITUUIL

Have Been Revealed.
MUCH EXCITEMENT IN RIO DE JANEIRO
High Officers in the Navy and Army Involved
Assassination of President Sailee
Was to Have Been Signal.
NEW YORK, March 27. A dispatch
to the Herald from Rio Janeiro says:
"Great excitement prevails here
over the arrest of Admiral Custodio,
Jose Mello and others, on account of .
the discovery of a monarchist plot
through the suicide of Baron de Bur
sal. Extraordinary precautions are
being taken by the government to pre
vent any outbreak. Apprehension cen- -ters
about the navy. The war vessels
are being closely guarded, as It is be
lieved that the officers are not quite
trustworthy. .
Details of the plot which Baron de
Burgal revealed to the authorities have
been revealed. It .was the purpose of
those concerned, it is declared, to give
the signal for the outbreak by the as
sassination of President Campos
Salles. During the excitement that,
followed, the monarchist adherents in
the army and navy were to take pos
session of the city and hold the gov
ernment offices. The affairs of the
state were to be intrusted to a trium
virate composed of Admiral Mello,
Marshal Canturla and Counsellor La
Fayette Pereria. Admiral Mello was
quietly removed from this city, as it
was feared that his presence would
cause disturbances. He was conveyed '
to Cobias island, where he is held in
the custody of Admiral Proenca.
Colombian Rebers Active.
Kingston, Jamaica, March 27. The
British mail steamer Para, from Colon,
brings reports of renewed activity on
the part of the rebels in the vicinity
of Panama. The hands of the govern
ment are full in their efforts to keep
vne rebels out of the city. Excessive
war taxes are being levied, and last
week a party of business men protest
ed against these high rates. They were
thereupon arrested and charged with
being rebel sympathizers, Two of the
prisoners managed to leave the coun
try by steamer, but the others were
kept in prison until tney have paid the
heavy fines imposed against them.
Passengers by the steamer Para say?
that the revolution shows no signs, of ,.
ending in the near future. Business"
is carried on in Colon and Panama
with the greatest difficulty, and the .
enormous prices of foodstuffs is caus-;-ing
general suffering. The liberals';
are expecting large reinforcements "
from the Costa Rican sympathizers.' -'
POSITION OF CHILE.
:'
She is Determined to Keep Tacna and '
Arica. . . . ..
NEW YORK, March 27.Chile's :
purpose to retain the provinces of Tac- '
ha and Arica, notwithstanding the pro
tests of Peru and Bolivia, is formally
acknowledged in an official statement
of the Chilean case communicated to
the United States and other powers;
says the Washington correspondent of ;
the Herald. The announcement of this
purpose is coupled with charges of '
bad faith made by Chile against Peru
and Bolivia. These charges are coun- ?
ter to similar allegations made by the "
two last - named countries against
Chile.
Chile seeks to prevent any interven
tion on the part of the United States
in the South American dispute. Peru
ana Bolivia are utilizing every chan
nel to bring pressure to bear upon the
administration to induce it to take ac
tion. The president has definitely de
cided, however, that he will not take
action unless all three powers request
it. In view of the latest declaration
made by Chile it is apparent that she
will suffer no outside check in her pur
pose to acquire definite sovereignty
over the provinces she has . conrolled
since the war 20 years ago.
