LONDON. June 10.-3:30 n. m. That Com
mandant General Louis llotha Rhouhl have
been able to stand for two Iuy against
Lord Roberts nnil then to retreat without
logins any guns or having any of his men
captured Is taken to mean that he has a
rorcn which the Urltish must still reckon an
formidable when acting dofcnsibly. The.
pacification of the whole Transvaal, espe
cially tho wldu spaces far from the railway,
1h rockoned a business requiring months,
rather than weeks. Meanwhile everything
goes well for the British arms. A Uocr
bulletin Issued June 12, at Maehadorp. said:
"Uoth wings of tho federal forces touched
the advancing enemy at 10 a. m.. east of
l'retorla. Fighting continued until dark.
Tho enemy, though In overwhelming num
bers, was checked along a line of thirty-six
miles and the burghers succeeded In driving
hack their right wing flvo miles. Two
burghers were killed and ten wounded. "
Another Maehadorp announcement is that
the first regiment of General Uuller's force
Attacked Almond's Nok and was "annihi
lated," but as the Urltish' were In over
whelming numbers tho burghers were com
pelled to abandon tho nek.
Kroner HnliU on lo Ilia Gold.
A dispatch from Louronzo Mnrnuez, dated
yesterday, says: "President Kruger is hold
ing on to his gold and is Issuing paper notes
lrom a press In his executive car. The lloer
Kovornment's coin stock Is exhausted and It
Is now paying out plain gold disks un
stamped. Somo who havo declined to ac
cept notes have taken their salaries in gold
bars.
"Tho Boer government Is Htlll paying out
much gold In that way. Two steamers ar
rived at Imrcnzo Mnrquez yesterday,
bringing several tons of supplies consigned
to Portuguese merchants, but destined for
tho Iloers. Ono hundred Americans, French
men, Hermans and Hollanders have arrived
there by various steamers enrouto for the
Transvaal. Mr. Crowe, the Urltish consul
general, has large Mocks of clothing for tho
Jlrlttsh prisoners, but ho will not forward
theso until ho gets assurances that tho

Oeneral Duller will bo unablu to advance
further until he gets supplies. lie will
probably wait until tho ttlnnol has been
cleared. Nearly overy farm house his
transports passed Hew a white Hag. Tho
British took nothing without paying for It
nnd u brisk business wns done In bread,
milk and chickens by thrifty housewives,
who wcro pleaned to get bo much Engl sh
money. Ono woman, whose husband and
two sons havo been fighting, said: 'You
Urltish aro unllko our people. They took
my horses In exchange for sheep and
mealies and made me mako butter, which
they never paid for. I am sending to havo
ray men como home nt oncp.'
"Ueuolly tho llrst question a Hoer woman
put Is:
" 'Will my husband bo shot If he Is cap
tured.' "One young man was nulled from undor
n bed nnd ho went on his knees, begging
tho Urltish patrol not to shoot him.
"Oeneral Hundlo had a sharp skirmish
nt Flckburg June 12. Tho Iloers had been
oggreralvc nlong tho wholo Flcksburg

Tho illrltlah outposts retired to the village.
Oeneral Rundlo held tho attention of the
Uoers In front with two guns, while Veo

drove them off with a loss to tho Urltish
of three wounded. Two patrols wero also
wounded.

LONDON, June 11.-10:35 a. m. The War

find mlno havo afforded each other mutual
assistance, Our occupation of Pretoria
caused numbers of Iloers to withdraw from

us follows: "Methuen advanced lo Honlng-

lias to be covered under modern conditions
of warfare renders progrein very slow.

LONDON, June 15.-1:2:. n. n. Observers
ut Shanghai and Tien Tslu think thoro Is a
great deal moro trouble ahead for tho con
cert of powers than merely reaching Pekln
with 2,210 men. Serious disturbances mo
tnklng placo nt Yunnaii-Fu and Meug-Tsu. as
well an at other points ut a cousldornhlo dM
tanco from tho capltul. The whole Chinese
emplro seems lo bo In a ferment. Tbo In
tentions of tho empress dowager aro still
equivocal, wlih a balance of tcntlmnny on
tho side of a determination to expel the ap
proprlators of a part ot her country or Id
lose her dynasty In the attempt. It Is re
lated of her that on Monday following tho
murder of tho chancellor of the Japanese
legutlon she was roused to u sense of dan
ger and went personally to tho Yung Ting
gate of Pekln. whero sho advised the rioters
to dUperse. Hut sho took no steps to apply
force and the appearance of things ls more
threatening than before.
While Admiral Seymour with tho Interna
tional icilef column is forcing his way to
Pekln. several of tho powers are arranging
largely to relnforco their details at Tien
Tsln. Germany purposes sending 1,200 men.
Great Britain sent COO from Hong Kong yes
terday and 400 will go Sunday. Italy hat
ordered 1,000 to hold themselves In readi
ness. Russia, according to a St. Petersburg
dls,iatch of Wednesday, has decided to bring
her forco nt Tien Tsln up to C.000. Thus
the combined forces at Tien Teln will proh.
ably soon bo about 10.000 men.
Tho explicit statement made yesterday
afternoon In the Houso of Commons by tho
parliamentary secretary of tho foreign of
llce, Mr. Hrodeiick, with reference to tho
Identity of opinion among tho powers upon
tho question of the application of force and
the method of applying it is accepted by all
the morning pnpers ns quite sufficient for tlu
present, and tho hopo Is generally expressed
that nothing will happen to diminish tho
harmony.
An incident, however, has already oc
curred, involving tho Urltish und French
nt Tien Tsln, which nearly ended in vlol
onca. A dispatch from Tien Tslu, dated
yesterday, says:
, Jlrtli.Hh uml J'reucll .Irnlonny. '
"For somo days tho French and Rus
sian authorities havo been Jealous becauso
of the supposed facilities given tho Drltlsh
authorities by the Urltish employes of the
China railways. Wednesday porno French
murines attempted to tako charge of nn
engine required nt tho front. Locomotive
Inspector Weir refused to glvo up tho
engine nnd n Frenchman nttcmpted to
bayonet him. Weir caught the muzzlo of
tbo title und the bayonet passed over his
shoulder. For u moment serious trouble
betweeu tho Urltish nnd French wns Im
minent, but the prompt action of tho con
sular nnd naval ofllcers, bncked by tho
Amerlcnu consul nnd rullwny officials, pre
ented u collision. Conciliatory expressions
wero exchanged. Tho French consul with
drew his opposition nnd tho Urltish re
mained ln charge of the onglno us before."
A Shanghai dispatch, dated yesterday,
says:
"A Chinese stenmerIadcn with nrms ami
ammunition cleared from Shanghai today,
bound for Tien Tsln.
"A notorious murderer, who wns delivered
by the municipality of Shanghai to the
Chinese authorities, Is being slowly stouod
to death In a cngu. Thousands of spectators
watch his agonies dally."
The Times publishes tho following from
Tien Tsln via Shanghai, Juno 14:
"A serious argument has occurred be
tween tho international column and thu
Mohammedan troops of General Tung Full
Slang, near Pekln."
Hyron llronnnu, Urltish ronsul at Shang
hai, who Is now lu London, says thnt tbeso

LONDON, Juno 14. A special dispatch
from Shanghai says an unconfirmed report
has reached thcro from Tlon Teln to tho
effect that tho Japanese legation has been
burned and that a minister has been killed.
The names, It Is added, are withheld pend
ing a confirmation of tho report.
It Is further rumored hero that tho Inter
national relief pnrtles nro experiencing great
dinicultlcH In regard to provisions nnd water,
it is said that the delay has been caused by
tho fear that tho force wns Inaulllclent lo
overcome tho opposition that might be en
countered nnd thus proelplUto u massacre
ut the capital.
It Is lidded that tho Japanese have tout
two more cruisers and have landed 300 addi
tional troops.
A telegram received from Yunnan Fu
says that the English and French missions
there have been burned and that the foreign
residents havo tnken refuge In the viceroy's
residence. The trouble, this dlspat 'h says,
is roportud to bo due to Fren.'- Intrigues.
Dinpatches from Chlnu today say: A ro
port has reached hero that the Urlt sh.
American and Japaneso ministers In Pekln
favor tho restoration of Emperor Kwang Su.
but that the French and Russian inlnlsteis
insist on thn power taking chargn of China.
It Is further reported that tho respective di
vision!' of tho country havo been aligned.
The belief Is that the withdrawal of the Hrit
Ish ships from 'he Yang tec Kiting is nu In
dication ot Great Britain's disclaimer of tho
"sphere theory."
LONDON. Juno 11. A later report from
Tien Tslu ronllrms tho news of the burning
of the Japanese legation, but the report that
a minister has bent, muidered In not con
firmed. Fifteen hundred Uumlnn.s with suns
hnvo arrived outside of Pekln. ThU makiu
