hundred miles of the marauding Boers north
of Kroonetad and they are expected ot
course to make short work of them. Never- j
theless outside of the War office telegrams I
no one knows what is going on. South o. j
Kroonstad there Is a wide gap. The railway i
Is only partially defended, and as General
Kelly-Kenny has hurried all the available

there Is danger of a second raid. The loss ,
of the Dcrbyshries Is estimated from 600 to 1
700 men.

An official Boer telegram asserts that the
British bavo been defeated with consider
able loss at Donkerspoort. in the southern
extremity of Free State, or Orange river
colony, ten rallea from Norval's pont. It
was thought that this district had been
cleared of Boers and rebels long ago. The
Boors still cling to Lalng's Nek, but General
Buller's forces are still working far around
In that direction.
Lord Roberts has wired Capetown that
prior to Wednesday he liberated 151 officer
and 3,500 of the rank and file. The Boers
consequently took off only 900.

formed an autopsy Saturday on the bodies
of an adult and an Infant, from which they
i excluded Drs. Pillsbury and Hodgshead. who

Tenipeirnry,
LONDON. June 11-The Dally Express
publishes this from St. Petersburg:
Prince Ooctomsky, editor of the Vledn
raoetl, and who Is a Chinese authority, says
that tbe Boxers arc one ot the old secret
societies with which the modern China Is
honeycombed. They have been working
against foreigners for several generations.
The Boxers will probably be put down, but
It Is feared that a great number of men,
women and children will be murdered be
fore that can be effected. Tbe prince says
the present difficulty la of a temporary na
ture and cannot be compared with tbe great
upheaval that is still to come. European
efforts to divide and to coerce China will
only result, he predicts. In the Chlneso be
coming more united In their hatred against
foreigners. Already they are exceedingly
embittered against them. He considers that
the Europeans are to blame for exploiting
and taking advantage of tbe Chinese. Form
erly they were an extremely peaceful and
Inoffensive people, but Europeans, with tbelr
militarism, are changing all this.
The prince goes on to say
"The awakening of tbe Chinese will be
terrible. All those warlike instruments of
destruction, the use of which they are being
taught will probably be turned against the
Europeans themselves. Tbe Chinese have
no fear of death and they make excellent
soldiers, under European Instructors.
