LONDON, May 26.—Capt. Harry L. Zeitun, claimant to the estate of the late Mrs. Julia Stowe Woods Da- vies of Excelsior Springs, Mo., says he has received three proposals of marriage since the news pub- ‘lished here. He sadly remarks in his sig¢ned life story now appearing in the Lon- don Sketch that he fears all three |ladies were “only actuated by iner- cenary motives.’’ He also says: “One came from an actress, whose name, if I mentioned it, would prob- ably be familiar to my readers.

Tien has thrown his troops in in a wide circle about the bandit hotbed, and he is gradually tight- ening his stronghold, cutting the communication and hop the gang that is holding foreigners. Far above the clouds in the moun- tain prison, a crisis is believed to be epproachinge. The outlaws are to be eager to make terms, but fear the promises of Pekin. Also they know Gen. Tien, who has a reputation for separating the heads of brigands from their bodies. In what they declare is a final ef- fort to come to an agreement, the brigands yesterday sent out a spokesman, accompanied by J. B | Powell of Shanghai, one of the American prisoners. Hitherto, all overtures have failed because of the demand of the abductors that any agreement with the Chinese officials must have an official foreign guar-. antor, The captives themselves are re- ported to be generally in good health, except the wealthy Italian Attorney, G.
