FIRE Foreign Legations Prisoners in Pekin. SLOW MOVEMENTS OF RELIEF On. Hundred Thousand Chinese Troops Guarding the City’s Gates—Defended " itli Modern Guns. London, June 18.—This is the situa tion in China as it appears to the ¡Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, cabling last evening: “It is really a state of veiled war. The members of the foreign legations in Pekin are virtually prisoners, ana the Chinese troops arc only restrained from attacking them by fear of the le gation guards. Meanwhile, the minis ters are altogether unable to communi cate with the commanders of thq relief column, which is making an enforced and isolated halt between Tien Tsin and Pekin. The walls of the capital are guarded by 100,000 imperial troops. The gates are heavily defended with modern guns. General Tung, acting under orders from the empress dowager, says that no more foreigu troops shall enter the sacred city. “Monday the ministers sent a de mand to the Tsung li Yannin that the gates be opened, declaring that other wise the foreign troops would enter forcibly. To this no reply was given. A second message was unanswered, or had not been answered when the latest news left Pekin. Sir Claude MacDon ald’s latest message says that the lega- itous are capable of sustaining an effect ive defense unless attacked in force.” Russia, this correspondent asserts, notwithstanding assurances to the con trary, sides with China. Some of the foreign troops are already reported to be in the environs of l’ekiu, and the attitude of the Chinese troops is in* creasinglv menacing. ROUTED BY FUNSTON’S MEN. Neuva EHja Insurgents Scattered — On» American Killed. Manila, June 18. — Upon information furnished by Major Wheeler to the ef fect that General Lacuna intended to attack Papaya, province of Neuva Ecija. General Funston, with staff officers, Captain Koehler and troop G, of the Fourth cavalry, and half a company of the Thirty-fourth infantry, repaired to Papaya. General Lacuna was found with 200 men occupying a position, on a ridge seven miles south of the town. General Funston attacked vigorously, 60 Americans charging the enemy un der a hot tire. The insurgents fled. On their attempting to make a stand later. Captain Koehler, with a detach ment of trtxips, charged and scattered them. The pursuit over the rough country lasted until nightfall. Twen ty two of the insurgents were killed. One American was killed and one •wounded. An important capture of Filipino in surgents was reported to the war de partment this morning by General MacArthur, in the following cable gram : “General Macabulos, with eight officers, and 143 rifles, surrendeied to Colonel Liscum, of the Ninth infantry, at Tarlac, this morning.

New York, June 14.—Three men were killed, eight so badly burned or maimed that they are in the hospital tud three other men are missing as the ! result of a tire in the cooperage estab lishment of Paul Weiduianu, at North Eleventh street and Wythe avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, tonight. The property loss is variously estimated at from $75,000 to 250,000. The dead are: Argust Benedict. 59 years old, burned so badly that he died soon after being taken from the building. John M. Lockwood, 66 years old, died from being crushed by falling tim ber. Unknown man burned to death. The building was four stories high and there were over 100 employes in the place at the time. Many of these leaped from the windows. It is said at least two-score of people dropped before the firemen had arrived. When they came many were hanging from the upper windows. August Benedict, a cooper, was hanging out of one of the windows with all of his clothing aflame. He held on to the ledge while the ladder was being run up to him. He was so badly burned when he was taken down that he died half an hour afterward. John M. Lockwood had his chest crushed by a falling timber and died in the Eastern District hos pital about 11 o’clock tonight. The unknown man was taken from the burned building late tonight and the body was so badly charred that identi fication was impossible. London, June 15.—The Chinese are , entrenched outside of Peking to oppose ' the advance of the international col umn. A dispatch froip Tien Tsin, dated Tuesday. June 1, says: “1 learn that the Chinese have guns trained on the Americau mission.and the British legation. Two thousand Russian cavalry and infantry with ar tillery have landed at Taku.” The Shanghai correspondent reports that United States Minister Conger, by ! courier, asks for 2,000 United States j troops. The question of provisioning the re lief force is already difficult, and it is j predicted at Shanghai that it will be- i come acute. The leading members of the reform party, representing 15 out of 18 prov inces, are at Shanghai. A dispatch to the Daily Mail, dated yesterday, says they are sending a petition to the Uni ted States, Great Britain and Japan praying those powers to take joint ac tion against any attepmt on the part of the other powers to partition the em pire, and they implore the powers thus addressed to rescue the emperor. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the ships of the Russian Pacific squadron on the active list, as well as those at Valdivostock have been or dered to proceed with all haste to Chi nese waters. The foreign office confirms the report of an engagement between troops of the international column and the Boxers Monday. It savs that “about 85 Chi nese were killed.” SEVEN WERE DROWNED. ■•BOBS” HEARD FROM Party Hound for th« Lower Yukon. Be Reports Two Rattles That Have Been Fought With the Boers. Seattle, Wash., June 14.—The rumor of a wholesale drowning on Windy aim, Lake Bennett, is told in the latest Alaska papers arriving by the steamer Rosalie today. Seven were in oue party, who are believed to have gone down about the first of the month, in the overturning of a scow. The news was telegraphed from Tagish to Skagway by a mounted police officer. According to information which was received at Skagway, it is said that the names of the people who may have been in the bcow are as follows: W. G. Mergeau, Mrs. Warner, Joe Rose, Mrs. Playmate, C. E. Peabody, and two men whose names could not ba learned. All were from Skagway. Six head of cattle and a quantity of provisions made up the cargo with which the craft was loaded. It is said that the scow was too heavily loaded. A strong wind caught the craft at Big Windy, and the cattle, becoming excit ed, overturned the craft. All are said to have perished. Mr. Mergeau was formerlyjproprietor of the California market in Skagway. Mrs. Warner ran the Puget Sound ies- taurant in the same place. The occu pations of the others are not given. London, June 15.—The dispatch from Lord Roberts clearing up the situation at Pretoria and along the communica- i tions stands alone. Military observ ers, noting that no mention is made of prisoners, assumes that General Dewet got away with his forces practically intact. General Buller entered Volksrusst Wednesday, pushing through Charles town and encamped at Laing’s Nek. The tunnel was not much damaged. Both ends were biowu up, but the engineers think that the repairs can be effected in about four days. The ad vance troops of General Buller saw the Boer rear guard four miles distant yes terday. It was estmated that 8,000 Boers were wthdrawn. The towns people at Ermelo counted 15 guns. Three hundred Free Staters, released from guarding Van Reenan’s Pass, have gone to join President Stevn’s command in the eastern part of Orange River colony. General Rundle has sent notice to the Free Staters that un less they surrendei by June 15 their farms and other possessions will be confiscated. President Kruger keeps a locomotive with steam up attached to the car in which he concentrates the executive offices of the government, and it is said that he intends to leave Machadodorp soon, and to establish the Transvaal capital at Nel Spruit, in the mountains, a fine defensive region. The state printing press is operating at Macha dodorp, producing leaflets containing war news for distribution among the Boers. Fate of a Charged With Conspiracy. Chicago, Jane 14.—Captain George Wellington StTeeter, whose cohorts re cently took possession of “The District of Lake Michigan” and defied the whole police force, was today held to the criminal court, charged with eon spiracy, accessory before the fact and assault. The “District of Lake Michi gan” is rhe name given by Streetei to land which has been formed by dump ing in the lake off the shore. Captain Streeter took jossession of it when it was a mere sand bar. A recent at tempt to oust some of the captain’s fol lowers, who had entrenched themselves on the land, resulted in some shooting and other riotous acts. The land is noy valued at many millions of dollars and measures about 40 acres. CRITICAL STAGE PASSED. Worst of th« St. I.oiil« Strike I. Appar- ently Over.

Seattle, June 14. — News comes from Auacoites that work will lie resumed on a large scale on the Eureka group of mines in the Slate Creek mining camp, which now belong to C. D. Lane, a millionaire mining operator of Califor nia. The final transfer to Mr. Laue was effected in Anacortes a few days ago. This is the property that some years ago was under bond to Colonel Hart for Montana parties. After spend ing upward of $50,000 they allowed ther bond to lapse, but the owners, having faith in ther property, continued working it until about two yearB ago, when a bond was made to Mr. Laue. Knob Hill. Republic, June 14.—Work is ac-i five on the Quilp mine. The new ma- chiueiy is giving satisfaction. Two drills are making a tarn t five feet per day. The compressed air hoist is work ing smoothly at the winze aud good progress will now lie made in getting out tiie ore for shipping. The shaft will be extended to the 300-foot level before cross cutting. The ledge en countered on this property has in creased greater in width in proportion to deptli obtained in sinking than any mine in the camp. In the tunnel it measured 26 feet, at the 50-foot level it was 80 feet wide, and at the 100-foot level it was between 90 and 100 feet in width. This is the largest body ore in the camp and it is hard ami clean. At the 50-foot level there is 80 feet of ore that will average $13 per ton. In the lower levels the values are higher somewhat. The new eeven-drill com pressor is in operation and the com pany will be in a position to ship 200 tons of ore a day for an indefinite period, if necessary. More men have been put to work stoping in the tunnel and each level. Thirty men are em ployed. The survey has been completed for the steHin tram to be constructed up the gulch, connecting the mines in the vicinity for shipping to the mills. The Quilp will furnish the new Repub lic mill with at least 100 tons a day. North of the Trade Dollar aud east of the Ben Hur is the Knob Hill, a prop- eity supposed to be valuable. A cross cut tuunel has been extended in the hill 540 feet, where the ledge was struck, and the indications are now that they have a fine property. A shaft was sunk at the first where the vein was found in place and an average of values obtained of $30 per ton at the 10-foot level. The tunnel level is 850 feet from the surface and there are now ] three feet of fine looking quartz tha^ should run even higher than in the shaft. A drift north and south has been started on the ledge. BETWEEN-SEASONS Ye» Trade, on DULLNESS. th. Whole. faetorv. Io Satle- Bradstreets’ says: Measured by re cent records aud recollections of busi ness activity, the present between- seasons dullness seems specially mark ed, aud the reactionary movement of pi ices makes trade look worse than it really is. Judged by such indicators as railroad tariffs and statistics of foreigu trade, the volume of business doing is considerably larger thau a year ago, when, it will be recalled, trade was cheerfully active. It is true bank deariugs are considerably smaller than last year’s clearings, which undobtedly included much of the speculative char acter this year almost wholly absent; and vet outside of the metropolis bank clearings are heavier this year than last. Wool is dull, and, on the whole, weak in the East, while good price« have been secured in the West. Man ufacturers are not buying, because their business is not active, aud lower rates for the next lightweight season for men’s wear goods are predicted, though leading mill agents will gurantee prices as late as October. Lower prioes for iron and steel have not met expectations of causing a re duction in output aud increased stock, though this latter feature apparently has been magnified because supplies, of high-grade pig iron are still scarce, particularly at the South. On the other hand, low grades are in plentiful supply, with little demand. Rails aud structural steel are still well held, but there is talk of a ¡educ tion in prices for the latter product. The other metals are dull, and the vhole weak. PACIFIC COAST TRACE. New Machinery in Frisco. Gem, Idaho, June 14.—New ma chinery is being installed in the Frisco mill here. One of the largest crushers in the Northwest, weighing 15 tons, will be ready to start in a few days. Struck a Pocket. F. M. Smith, who has been assisting Joseph Shepherd in prospecting a ledge on Grubb creek, a tributary ot Sterl ing, informs the Medford, Or., Mail that he and his partner took out a small pocket last week from which they real ized over $27 at the bank, and Mr. Smith says the pocket is not, by any means exhausted. He says the pocket may prove to be a large one, as the same character of rock continues. They will lose no time in going down on the vein, which varies in size from one to four feet and all sufficient ly mineralized to make it a fine paying proposition. The quartz is blue and porous aud all of it carries more or less free gold. The walls are granite and porphry with cyanite and feldspar. Work I m Being Pushed. Beattie Market«.
