THE END IN [SIGHT.

Boers under General Prinsloo Sur-render-British Closing in.

London, July 30.—The following>ffieial dispatch. has been re-vived from Lord Roberts datedPretoria, July 29 th:—On July27th, MacDonald fought a rear guardaction with the eu«my from earlymorning until dark, nine miles outside

au'wpaort, in Bethlehem Hills, re--jlting in his effectually blockingNaauwpoort Nek to the Boer wagons.

Hunter reports that the enemychecked his advance ib'y holding strongpositions on two Neks, one of whichwas taken before dark by the Scots,Royail Irish , Wiltshire and Leinsterregiments. Our casualties only five orsix. The second Nek was taken dur-ing the niglht by the Scots Guards,without opposition, the enemy retiringclosely to Naauwpoort The prison-ers taken stated that twelve hundredBurghers would surrender if guaran-teed that tihey would be treated asprisoners of war and not rebels. Tothis I assented.

As a result of these operationsPrinsloo, commanding the Boers, ask-ed, under flag of 'truce, this morning,a four days' armistice for peace nego-tiations. Hunter replied that the onlyterms he could accept were uncondi-tional surrender, and. until these werecomplied with, hostilities coiifld notcease. I expressed my approval, andtold Hunter on no account to enterinto negotiations.

As I am writing, a telegram come-from Hunter saying that Prinsloo hadwritten a second letter, expressingwillingness to hand over himself withhis men, rifles, ammunition and otherfire arms, upon condition that horses,saddles, bridles and other possessionsof Burghers be guaranteed to themand they he free to return «o theirhomes. I replied that the surrendermust be absolutely unconditional, allrifles, (ammunition, horses and otherpossessions must be given up and #hatthe Burghers be considered prisonersof war. I added that PrinsJoo's over-ture will not be allowed in any way tointerfere with Hunter's operations,whidh must be continued until theenemy is defeated or surrendered.

A later dispatch from Gen. Roberts,darted July 29th, confirms the surren-der of Prinsloo with five thousandBoers.

London, July 29—General French hasoccupied Middelburg, in the Transvaal;and Gen. Fole-Carew, with the Guardsbrigaide, Was arrived at Brag Spruit,20 miles west of Middolburg.

Tlie War Office has received a dis-patch from Lord Roberts explainingthat only one train was captured onthe nlgtht of July 21, (between Kroon-stad and the Vaal, and that it contain-ed supplies and two officers and ahundred men of the Welsh Fusiliers.

A dispatch from Fouriesburg, datedJuly 27, shows that the capture ofFouriesburg was preceded by heavyfighting to force a passage of thepasses, which were stubbornly conitest-ed for two days. General Hunter'sforces had the hardest work in forcingRetief's Nek, (his casualties amountingto about a hundred.

Upwards of six thousand Boers, witha very large number of wagons, a largequantity of stores and many caittle,have now been diriven into the moun-tain passes, where they are watchedby British troops. Their escape tramthat point will Ibe very difficult.

London, Aug. &—Lord Roberts,telegraphed to the War Office as fol-

"Pretoria, Aug. 2—Hunter reports1.200 more prisoners surrendered yes-terday, with Commandants Rouse andFontenel, whilst Commandants Deploy,Potgieter, and Jowbert surrendered toBruce-Hamilton, who collected 1,'200rifles, 650 ponies and an Armstronggun. Lieut. Anderson., a Danish offi-cer in the Staats Artillery, also sur-rendered. Olivier, with five guns anda number of burg-hers broke away inthe Harrismith district, but Hunterexpects the total prisoners willimount to 4,000.

London, Aug. 2—The war in SouthAfrica is clearly approaching the end.General Hunter has reported that 1200additiona'l Boers have surrendered,and that he will have fully 4,000 pris-oners among the hills south of Beth-' ahem. Commandant Olivier alone hasiicc-eeded in breaking aw'jjy towards

Austin, Tex., Aug. 2—The fresh out-break of the Reese-T'ownsend -feud re-sulting in the shooting Wednesdaynight at Rosenberg, Tex., of JamesColeman and Walter Reese, both mem-bers of the Reese faction, has pro-duced intense excitement in Coloradocounty where the .feudists reside.Word was received here this eveningthat further bloodshed is certain tooccur unless members of the opposingfactions are kept apart. A force ofrangers has been sent to Columbithe county seat to remain until the ecitement quiets down.

London, July 30.—The ForeignOffice, which has taken a pessi-mistic view of the situation atPekin, and has been amazed bythe credulity of the United States De-partment in venturing to think thatany European there might be alive,changed its tone yesterday when a dis-patch was received from the British

sul ait Tien Tsin, which containedwhat Mr. Broderick described as "in-direct testimony that the legations

re safe on July 19." The dispatcheshad been taken from a messenger whocarried them, but his own statementwas explicit. A strong body of Chi-

? troops under Hwang Su wasmassed around the legations, but firinghad been suspended from July 16, ac-cording to this messenger, and fromJuily 17, according ito a Japanese wit-ness. \A private dispatch, had a'lsoreach* Italy giving assurances thatPrince Gaetani, of the Italian legation,and Bishop Favier, of Pekin, werealive.

ien Tsln, July 29, 4 p. m., via QheeFoo, July 30, and Shanghai, July 31,9.55 a. m.—A courier 'reached herefrom Pekin today with dispatches ad-

essed to Major Waller, the command-1 of the American marines.These dispatches were dated July 21

and were from Minister Conger andthe representatives at Pekin, of theBritish, Japanese and German govern-ments.

There were alao several private mes-sages, all of which corroborated pre-vious reports. The courier also reiter-ated the statements as to the bad con-dition of the roads to Pekin and thenumbers of Chinese who lined thewav.

Minister Conger in his note to Con-sul .Ragsdale says:

"Since the 16th, toy agreement, therehas been no firing. We have pro-visions for several weeks, but littleammunition. If they continue to shellus as they have done, we cannot holdut long and a complete massacre will

follow.*"I hope relief can come soon. We

were glad to hear of the victory atTien Tsin, but regret the terrible cost.All safe and w.ei'l."

This last refers to the ministifamily.

Sir Robert Hart, the imperial mari-time commissioner, sent word to Com-missioner iDrew and the customs staffthat he and his family are still safe.

The missionaries report that all thePekin and Tung Chow Americans andalso the Walkers, Chapins, Smith,Wickoffs, Veritys, Robart, Terry andMuckan are safe at Pekin.

A'll the mission property has beendestroyed.

Miss Terry has previously been re-ported killed at Bnnhua.

The British officials decline to giveout Sir Claude Macdonald's message,saying it is similar to that from theJapanese minister yesterday.

The German message Is of the sametenor and adds that the Chinese arekeeping Minister Von Ketteler's body.

An undated message says: "Yester-day, under a flag of truce, a messengerbrought a note from Yung Lu to SirOlaude Macdonald, the British minis-ter, asking if he was (willing to aigreeto a truce.

Sir Claude Macdonald replied that hewas willing provided the Chinesewould cease their shelling and notcome near the legations.

The shelling has now ceased andeverything Is quiet. There is plentyof food in the shape of rice and*horses. The great danger is that thedefeated Chinese army from Tien Tsinmay enter the city.

The Americans made a gallant sortieon the enemy and hit the Chinesebard. Captain Meyers of the Ameri-can marines was slightly wounded.

Rome, Aug. 1.—-A dispatch receivedhere says: "The Chinese governmentis detaining six hundred Europeans ashostages, including the ministers andtheir families and members of the le-gations." It is believed here that when,war is officially declared, these will beordered to leave Pekin witWn 24 hours.They will then be at the mercy of theBoxers. China, it Is thought, will consider that war has been declared aisoon as the allies begin to march onPekin.

ADVANCE/ ON PEKIN.London, Aug. 1—"The allies began

the advance from Tien Tsin this morn-ing," announces an agency bulletindated at Shanghai at 11.10 a. m-. to-day. It is assumed that the Ameri-cans, the British and the Japanese are..iking part in-this forward movementwhether other nationalities are or 3An advance base will probably be es-tablished twenty or thirty miles near-er Pekin and supplies will be assem-

bled preparatory to a direct stroke atthe capital.

Of the 60,000 allies debarked at PeChili ports English military observer;consider that 30,000 are available foian advance beyond Tien Tsin. TheChinese forces, according to the vaguegatherings of the allies' intelligenceofficers, up to July 27, were disposedin a great arc thirty miles long anddistant ten or fifteen miles. The num-bers and exact location of the severaldivisions are utterly unknown.

The Pei Ho river is blockaded bysunken stone-laden junks for twenty

es beyond Tien Tsin, and fartheraccording to Chinese spies of the

allies, a dam has been constructedthe purpose of flooding the low-

lying expanse of the, country.The first engagement of the relief

expedition will probably bo at Peiing, w'here the viceroy of Yulu per-•nally commands.Information was brought to Tien

Tein Wednesday, Jufly 25, 'by a Chinesesionary student who was sent to

the British legation at Pekin. Hewas unable to deliver the message en-trusted to him and left Pekin July 13.He paw a few troops between Pekinand Yang Tsun. No works had beenconstructed. Food in Pekin was scarceand the clcy would be quite unable toendure .a sieg-e.

Among the scraps of informationbrought by another courier, who 'leftPekin July 14, was the fact that Gen-eral Ma. a notable Boxer chief, had

Brussels, Aug. 1—The Minister ofForeign Affairs, M. de Favereau, has

lived the following from M. DeCartier de Marchienne, secretary ofthe Belgian legation in China, now inShanghai, dated July SI:—"On July 22the Consul General of the UnitedStates telegraphed the United Statesminister in Pekin, (through the inter-mediary of the local authorities. Shen,

Taotai, has informed him that theTsung li Yamen refused to transmitnessages in cipher to the minister,nd requires that all dispatches be in

ordinary language.MAKING A BRAVE STAND.

Shanghai, Aug. I— A Chinese offi-cial, who escaped from Pekin, has ar-•ived here. He says he saw an im-mense mud wall on July 14 aroxmd theCatholic church compound at HsienHsien, Chi'hli province, where 30,000refugees were making a brave standagainst an immense horde of Boxers.Li Ping Ching's troops were expectedto join in the attack on July 29.

THE STORY OF PEKIN.London, Aug. 2—At last the story of

Pekin has been told. Dr. George Er-nest Morrison, the famous Pekin cor-respondent of the Times, in its col-umns today, holds up the Chinese gov-ernment before the world as guilty toa degree of infamy and duplicity thatexceeds every surmise of its bitterestdetractors. He says:

"There has been a cessation of hitilities here (Pekin) since July 18, butfor fear of treachery there has been norelaxation of vigilance. The Chinesesoldiers continue to strengthen thebarricades around the besieged areaand also the batteries on top of theimperial city wall, but in the mean-time they have discontinued firing,probably because they are short ofammunition.

"The main bodies of the imperialsoldiers have left Pekin in order tomeet the relief forces. Supplies arebeginning to come in and the condi-tion of the besieged is improving.

"The wounded are doing well. Ourhospital arrangements are admirabla-and 150 cases have passed through th*hospitals.

"The force (besieging the legationdonsists of the Imperial troops underGeneral Tung Lu and General TungFun Siang, whose gallantry is ap-plauded in Imperial decrees althoughit has consisted in bombarding for onemonth defenceless women and chil-dren cooped up in the legation com-pound, using shell, shrapnel, round3hot and expanding bullets.

"They posted proclamations assur-ing us of protection, and the samenight they made a general attack inthe hope of surprising us.

"There is still no news of Pei TangCathedral. The wounded number 138,including the American surgeon, Lip-pi tt, severely wounded, and CaptainMyers, who is doing well. SevenAmericans have been killed.

"All the ministers and members ofthe legations and their families are ingood health. The general health ofthe community is excellent, and weare contentedly awaiting relief."

After enumerating the casualties already reported and giving 'the total ofdeaths, including Americans, as 56,Mr. Morrison proceeds as follows:

"The Chinese undermined theFrench legation, which is now a ruin;but the French minister (M. Pichon)was not present, having fled for pro-tection to the British legation on thfirst day of the siege.

"The greatest peril we suffered dur-ing the siege was from a determina-tion to destroy the British legation byburning the adjoining Han Li Yuen(National College), one of the moscsacred buildings in China, sacrificingthe unique library. The Chinesethroughout acted with characteristictreachery."

ON SHORT RATIONS.London, Aug. '2—Another letter has

been received at Tien Tsin from theBritish Minister, Sir Claude Macdon-ald, dated July 24. "We are surround-ed by Imperial troops," he writes,"who are firing on us continually.The enemy is enterprising, but coiw-ardly. We have provisions for abouta fortnight, and are eating our ponies."

"The Chinese government, if therebe one, has done nothing whatever tohelp us. If the Chinese do not pressthe attack we can hold out for say, tendays. So no time should be lost if aterrible 'massacre is to be avoided."

FOR DEFENSE OF MANILA.Government Starts Work of Posting

Batteries at Entrance to the Bay.San Francisco, Aug. 2—'No Dewey ofiy hostile foreign fleet will be able to

enter Manila Bay when the plans ofthe United States Government for for-tifying it are carried out. The govera-
