MAY RENEW THE WAR

Count Von Waldersee Prepares to Resume Operations.

If Demands of the Joint Note Are Not Complied with Very Soon ; a Great Expedition : Will Move. .

Peking, Feb. 18.—A fsw days ago Count von Waldersee wrote to the generals under his supervision notifying them to have all their available troops ready in two weeks for an expedition lasting 80 days. Sunday Gen. Chaffee and Gen. Voyron, the French commander, received letters asking for their cooperation and expressing a desire to know what forces they can spare. In commencing his letter to Gen. Chaffee, Count von Waldersee says! “Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the negotiations for peace and also to circumstances rendering such a course des‘rable, it will probably be necessary to veaume mflitary operations on a large scale, espeefally toward the west.” : . Will Av.ait Instructions,

It iS not thought likely that Gen. Chaffee will agree to such a plan without instructions from Washington. The French commander, however, is expected to do so. Count von Waldersee’s plans contemplate offering the command of the expedition in the first Tnstance to Sir Alfred Gaselee, the British commander, but it is believed that, in view of his recent illness, Gen. Gaselee will inform Count von Waldersee that he is unable to accept the command. In that event it will be offered to Gen. Voyron, provided the French fall in with the arrangement, which Count von Waldersee believes will be the case. Such an offer to Gen. Voyron would have the effect, it is thought, of overcoming the differences which have existed between the French and Germans, because it would be a demonstration of Count von Waldersee’s confidence in the military ability of the French contingent.

To Compel Acceptance,

Ere long an announcement is expected that the destination of the proposed expedition is Sian Fu. The foreign envoys believe its object to be to compel the Chinese to accept the terms of the powers. It is thought that when it becomes known that the expedition has started the imperial court will hasten to comply with all the demands of the joint note. The military are much elated over the prospect of active service. Many believe the Chinese army will strive to the uttermost to protect the province of Shen-Si against invasion.

Order Is Issued.

London, Feb. 18.—The Peking correspondent of the Times, writing Saturday. says: *“A general order was issued to-day directing the forces under Count von Waldersee's command to prepare to take the field, the idea being an’ expedition in the spring to Tai-Yuen-Fu (province of Shan-Si) or further. The position is full of difficulties. It requires firmness and patience and not an impetuoyg;_eagpedition into the interior, which is only likely to drive the court further westward.”

The military operation - contemplated by Field Marshal Count von Waldersee is set for the end of the month, but of course will not start if the Chinese come to their senses promptly and comply with the demands of the powers, particularly that part of them referring to the punishment of the guilty otneials. In faet, Count von Waldersee, in his order asking for a general statement of the number of troops that can be sent, says that the operation is actually contemplated in. case. China does not act quickly. This statement is taken seriously by all the military forces, and the idea is rather enthusiastically received everywhere.

Must Walk Entire Distance.

Interviews have been had with three Chinamen who traveled from Sian Fu to Peking last week. They said that every mountain pass was barricaded and traveling by horse or mule was impossible. Only foot passengers could get through the passes. , They also declared that Chinese soldiers were in the mountains as thick as leaves on the trees. These conditions may make-the expedition difficult, but nobody here believes that if it starts they will not be surmounted. Though the statement may seem rash, it is nevertheless the opinion of men knowing the situation well that opposition by the Chinese, once it is under way, will mark not only the end of the dynasty but of the Chinese empire as well. | : : Reply Is Unsatisfactory.

Peking, Feb. 18.—A message was delivered to the foreign ministers before the meeting Saturday morning, from the Chinese peace commissioners, which contained the wording of an edict, dated Friday, practically reiterating the recent dispatches of the press, sentencing Prince Chung to commit suicide and Yu-Hsien (former governor of the province of Shan-Si), to be executed, both in the presence of a high government official, in order to satisfy the foreign€rs. . Men Idle at Brooklyn Navy Yard. New York, Feb: "18.—Many men have just been discharged from the Brooklyn navy yard, about 400 in all having been dismissed during the week. Most of them were painters and laborers, and were employed on the cruiser New York. More men will be discharged soon. The officials at the navy yard have been instructed by the navy department at . Washington to cut down the force and, under no circumstances, to overdraw their accounts. Until the close ‘of the fiscal year, on July 1, discharges will continue to be made. Prestidigitator Dead. Berlin, Feb. 18.—The prestidigitator, whose death was announced Friday, was Morritz Herrmann. He was a nephew of the late Alexander Herrmann 11., famous in this eountry, whose widow, Adelaide Hermann, is now in the same line.of business, and a cousin of Alexander 111. o To Cruise in Mediterranean, Bavannéh, Ga., Feb. 18.—W. K. Vanderbilt ‘and party sailed from Savannah Saturday evening for a cruise of the Mediterranean in his private yacht Valiant. The first stop will be at Madeira. S s

EXTRA SESSION.

President Says It Will Be Called When Cuban Constitption Is Received Here.

i Washington, Feb. 18.—The presi~dent told senators who called upon him Saturday that congress would be called in extra session as soon as the Cuban constitution was received. The president has seldom been known to talk so freely with nmrembers of congress and other public men on any question he had in contemplation as he now talks with them concerning an extra session of congress. He has apparently been revolving the subject in his own mind for the past month, and for that length of time has talked more or less pointedly with his callers. Senators and representatives have, however, thought until within the past daty or two that the extension of the session eould be avoided. Even now there are many who refuse to believe that the call will be issued. Those who have talked with the president in the past day or two are not of this opinion. Thes Zay that he announced definiteT Siluiday his determination to ask congress to come together as soon after the completion of the Cuban constitution as might be expedient. The only apparent object of the president is to have the Cuban question considered, and it is his desire to have congress share the responsibility of deciding what steps shall be taken with reference to Cuba, regardless of the details of the constitution. He has not as yet indicated a time when he should expect congress to meet, and this he is not expected to do until the Cuban constitutional convention shall complete its work. The prediction is general that in case an extra session is called it will extend ‘well into the summer. It is not believed that its deliberations could be confined to Cuba, but that the Philippine question, the anti-trust bill and the subsidy bill (if that should fail to be disposed of at the present session) would all ceame in for a share of attention. Many of the leading republican senators are using their utmost endeavors to avert the call.

The president had Senators Hanna and Aliison as his guestsat dinner Sunday evening. Later Senators Spooner, Aldrich and Platt (Conn.) called, all the visitors remaining with the president until a late hour. The occasion gave the president an opportunity to discuss' with the senate leaders the existing status of the business of congress and the calling of an extra session.

Havana, Feb. 18.—The special commission appointed by the Cuban constitutional convention to draw up a proposition defiining the future relations between the United States and the republic of Cuba have returned from a conference with Gov. Gen. Wood at Batabano, and reported to the convention in secret session.

The question of the United States maintaining naval stations in Cuba met with strong opposition and the commission reported to the convention not to accept this condition. The other clauses in the proposed relations have been practically agreed to.

KILLED TWELVE LIONS.

Col. Roosevelt Returns to Meeker, C 01.,, After a Most Successful Hant,

Meeker, C 01.,, Feb. 18.—Col. Roosevelt and John Goff rode into Meeker from the Keystone ranch Friday afternoon at three o’clock. When asked for interviews the governor referred the correspondent to Mr. Goff.

Mr. Goff said that 17 lions were killed during the hunt, and that the governor himself killed 12, four of which he killed with his knife and eight with his rifle. Mr. Goff further stated that Gov. Roosevelt Friday killed the largest lion thiat has been killed in this section, weighing 227 pounds and measuring 81, feet in the flesh. Mr. Goff states that Roosevelt killed it with his knife.

One of the most exciting experiences of the hunt occurred during Thursday night, when Gov. Roosevelt killed with his rifle his second to largest lion. In order to get a shot at the unsuspecting beast the governor leaned the larger portion of his weighty body over a perpendicular cliff 40 feet high, John Goft holding him by the leg ihile Roosevelt aimed and fired and instantly killed his game. :

THE WORLD’'S BEST KNOWN TRAIN, The Empire State Express—What I# - Does Daily and How It Does It. - “There is only one train in the country that exceeds fifty r;xf’)es an hour in speedfor 160 miles run, arfd that is the Empire’ S;Ste Express.”’—Public Ledger, Philadeiphia. ; The Ledger might have added that this great train averages fifty-three and onethird ‘miles per hour for the entire distance from New York to Buffalo, 440 miles, including four stops and twenty-eight siowdowns; that it, does this each business dayf of the vear. The attention which the Empire State Express has attracted in everys country of the world has proved one of the greatest advertisements for American machinery and American methods that has ever been put forth, and that the New York Central “& Hudson River Railroad Company is entitled to the thanks of not only the entire State of New York, but of every person in.the United States from one end of the land to the other for placing before the world an object lesson without an equal.— From the Syracuse Post-Standard.
