The unanimity of senti . 1 merit among the ih.w.ts gives ground for the belief that the demands will be modi fied by the omission of the word "ultl , matum.” although it is not yet dear ! what the final attitude of the remaining , powers—Germany, Austria and Italy— will be. The negotiations In this particular were carrf.nl on in la>nd»n through Ambassa dor Choate, and it Is regarded as signifi cant that one of th-- parties to the Anglo- German alliance should give its adher ence to the moderate position advanced by the United States. The stale department has cabled Minls ' ter Conger to forward the text of the agreement reached by the foreign minis ters at Pekin. Meanwhile he will with hold his signature until the president has had an opportunity to satisfy himself as to thi- important document and to make such changes as will bring it In ac- • cord with our policy. It Is safe to predict that this pnrtlcu- • lar agreement will not become effective I in its present shape. It appears that. ' upon inquiry directed to the powers themselves, their ministers nt Pekin have not correctly reflected their present views as to the basis of the peace ne gotiations. This statement certainly is true as to a majority of the powers in i' rested, and the fact is regarded as war ranting the prediction that the agree ment must be modified or abandon.-d. It is learned at th.- state department that, while these negotiations are drag ging along at Pekin, some of the Ameri can consuls in China are achieving prac tical and valuable results by tndivl.lua! efforts. They arc addressing themselves, in some cases, dir.-ctlv to the viceroys of tl..- gr.-at provinees w)i< r<* American prop erty interests have suffered to secure in demnity and reparation and. In most cases ■■ j are ■uccecdlng very well it is <ufin - «t fro-n the latest Chinese ad vices that the Hnglish consuls are doing likewise, and are collecting many claims and the moneys are being turned over to the mission interests which suffered. If th l ® movi-metit continues, ft is entlr. !y possible that the United State' and Great Britain will not Is- obliged to concern themselves with the prosecution of Indi vidual claims for hidemn'tv through ahe Slow moving agencies at Pekin.

December 1. —Last June an interview with Mr. Ilietx, Transvaal sec retary of state, was cabled to this city In which the secretary said that the Boers would fight for their liberty ns long as there was any hope of gaining it. They would never surrender to tlmit Britain or Iss-ome a part of the British empire, sooner than do that, most of the hardy, thrifty Boer farmers wuld emigrate with their families to the United States. i The publication of this interview in The , New York World brought simiitaneous expressions from the governors of several ' states, including Arkansas.

ATLANTA FIFTEEN PLUNGED TO DEATH S.m Francisco, November 29.—Thirteen people were kilhsl and fully fifty badly injured by the collapse of the roof of the Pacific Glass Works, on Fifteenth street, today, while it was crowded with m -n and boys, watching a football game on the field adjoining. Eighty-two persona, more or less In jured. have been taken to the various hospitals or removed to their homes. Most of those killed or injured were boys between nine and sixteen years of age. Nearly all of the victims had their skulls fractured or limbs broken and sustained serious internal injuries. About seventy-five people fell through the roof upon the red hot fiirna.es and glass vats below. AU were horribly burned, and it is feared that in addition to the nine deaths already reported there will be several mor,-. The dead are: William Valencia. Edgar Flahcin. M. Vandina. J. A. Mulrooney.

Granta Leon Gerard Darcy John 1 >yl,- <’ti - Germeister Fred Bewinkle Two hundred men and boys bad gath ered on the sheet iron roof of th,- glass works to obtain a free view of the an nual football game between Stanford ami University of California. About twenty minutes after the game had commenced, there was a crash, plainly audible front the football grounds, and a portion of the crowd on the roof went down. Tit" fires in the furnaces had been start ed for the first time today, and the vats were full of liquid glass. It was upon these that the victims fell. Some were kiih l*lnstantly, and others were slowly roasted to death. The few who missed the furnaces, together with workmen in the glass works, saved the lives of many who lay unconscious by pulling them away from their horrible resting place. The police and fire department were soon at hand, and every patrol wagon and ambulance In the city was sum moned. They were not enough, and ex press wagons and private carriages were pressed into service to carry off the d. a l and wounded. Many of the injur,-,! were un.onselous, while others were hurried away, shrieking with agony, to th,- hos pitals. The Southern Pacific railway hos pital was only |wo blocks away, and w is quickly tilled. About forty wounded were taken there. Others were sent to St. Luke's hospital and the City Receiving hospital, to private residemes and other places. At the hospitals there was soon a short age of surgeons, and some of the wound ed had to wait until help came. The r<> >f of the glass works was not 2"" feet away from tile football field, but the 20. WW peo ple watching the came were too int'-rest etl in the play to notice what had oc curred. It was only when the ushers w, nt through the vast crowd calling for doctors that It became known there had been an accident. Hundreds of people left tile grounds and gathered about the fence enclosing the glass works. News of the disaster spread rapidly and thou sands of anxious people quickly assem bled. The manager of the glass works real ised the danger before the accident oc curred, and had sent for the police to compel the crowd to leave. Just as a squad of police arrived from the city hall the roof went down. Seventeen Lives Were Lost. San Francisco, November 30.—Four per sons injured in the glass works accident yesterday died tills morning, making the total number of dead seventeen. Several more of the injured will die. The- dead have all been identified. The injured now being cared for in hospitals or at their homes number eighty-three. The man agers of the glass works state that It was Impossible for them to keep the peo ple off their buildings. They disclaim all responsibility for the accident. TO MURDER LORD ROBERTS BY EXPLOSION OF A MINE I.ondon, November 27.—According to a special edition of the Evening Standard, today a plot to assassinate Lord Roberts, in which twenty foreigners are concerned, has been discovered. It appears that the conspirators laid a mine wlich was de signed to he blown up Sunday, while Lord Roberts was in church at Johannes burg, but the police and Lord Roberts' guard frustrated the conspiracy. Ten men, mostly Italians, have been arrested. The war office publishes the following dispatch from laird Roberts, dated Jo hannesburg, Novemlier 26; "As reports of a plot against my life will probably reach you, I think you should know the facts. It is believed that there was a plot in existence, and live Italians, four Greeks and one Frenchman were arrested November 36 and arc now awaiting trial. Their Inten tions -were to explode a mine under St. Mary’s church during the morning ser vice held at 11 o’clock on November IS.” I.ord Roberts, cabling from Johannes burg under date of November 26. reports a number of encounters with the Boers !at widely separated points, which the ■ British captured with some cattle and t few prisoners and sufl’< red slight easual- I ties The most serious affair was an en gagement with the forces of General Dclnney, numbering about 1.009 men. witn three guns, who opposed General Clem ent’s march toward Rcitfontein.

No otiielal reception had been arranged t'liti Mr. Kroger drove to the Cathedral hotel, the crowd cheering as he left the station and as he drove a'ottg the route.

November 2R. —Advices have been received here from Manila that the Island of Guam was visited by’ a terrific typhoon oti November 13th, which wreck ed thousands of houses, among them be ing the headquarters of Governor Sehrocler. The towns of Indrajan and Terra Foro were swept away and it is estimated Hint hundreds of the native imputation in various parts of the island met their deaths. The cocoanut crops were rendered absolutely worthless and the vegetation of th.- island killed by salt water. The storm cam,- up in the fore noon and sw.-pt across the island with amazing rapidity. Th»* I'nite,l States auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, which was anchored adjacent to the collier. Just in. dragged her anchor and was driven aground 150 yards from the reef, her bows being crushed in. A launch with a crew of five men h:-d pre viously left to endeavor to find a safe anchorage for the vessel, th,* indications Is-ing that the anchors would not ho'd where she was. The men were not safe after they left the ship and it is practi cally certain that the heavy sea which the storm kicked up swamped the launch. The bodies of Coxswain F. Swan son and Seaman Georg,- Anbel were re covered after tlie typhoon subsided. Tho storm veered around after th" Yosemite grounded and she was driven off and carried on to the Sotnaye ,-liffs. where her Hinder and propeller were broken. Boatswain Sweeney and twelve of the crew volunteered to take a life line ashore. A boat was lowered for this purpose, but it was immediately swamp ed by a big sea that swept over it. AH its occupants were carried away from the boat, but they miraculously succeed ed in reaching the land, after an hours struggle with the waves. Meanwhile the ■iir had become inky black and tile Yose mite. which had < fc atn been blown ott the land, was drifting helplessly before the gale, which was plowing at tile rate of l'*» miles an hour. AH hope of saving the cruiser was aband-med and the ottie.-rs and erew pre pared tor the death they thought was surely staring them in the face. A ma jority of the boats had been either smashed or carried out of the davits and those that were left could not accommo date hs*'f the crew, even it it had he. n possible for taein l<> live in the n- - mous seas that wen by this time run ning A sea anchor had been put out and this held the Yos.-mile up Into th. teeth of the storm and prevented her from falling into the trough of the sea. She rose to this anchor and drifted rap idly until 6 o’clock in th,- evening, when the weather cleared. The cruiser was then sixty miles north and forty miles west of Guam. She had labored,so heav ily that she had sprung a leak and all hands, including her commander. Lieu tenant Brief, and the chief engineer worked her occasionally in trying to clear her of the water that was pouring into and rapidly tilling th.- forward com partments. After the violence of the storm had subsided, efforts were made to start the engines. They were finally gos to work and the Yosemite, witli her damaged pro peller, struggled landward at the rate of two knots an hour. The water kept gain ing in the hold and the ship was grad ually sinking. At I:.’! 11 p. m., November 15th. the Jus tin. which had started in search of the Yosemite, picked her up and attempted to tow her Back to Guam. Two hawsers w.-re broken and it was then decided that it was impossible to take her into port. The cruiser was then scuttled, after which she was aband,»n,-d, all hands go ing on iH.ard the Justin. The Yosemite sank bow first at 3 o’clock and the Justin st.-, red away for Guam. Paymaster Bal lard saved SdS.tiOft Mexican money from the sinking ship. LOSS OF YOSEMITE CONFIRMED.
