LONDON, June 17. Lord Kitchener
cabled from Pretoria, under date of.
the 16th, as follows:
"Near Welmansrust, twenty miles
aouth of Middleburg, 250 Victorian
mounted rifles from General Beaston's
columns were surprised in a camp at
Steenkoolspruit by a superior force of
Boers at 7:30 a. m.. June 12. The en
emy crept up to within short range
and poured a deadly fire into the camp,
killing two officers and sixteen men
and wounding four officers and thirty
eight men, of whom twenty-eight were
only slightly wounded. Only two offi
cers and fifty men escaped to General
Beaston's camp. The remainder were
taken prisoners and released. Two
pompoms were captured by the en
emy. Full details have not been re
ceived.
The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports is the first accident
Australian contingent and it is sup
Australian contingent and 1 is sup
posed to be due to neglect of proper
picketing. Although it is offset by
the defeat inflicted upon Dewet, the
loss of the guns it regarded as a seri
ous matter which will encourage the
Boers to continue the struggle.
More or less fanciful accounts are
published on the continent of alleged
peace negotiations, but there is noth
ing in them and nothing has come of
the interview between Mrs. Botha and
Mr. Kruger beyond revealing the fact
that Mr. Kruger will listen to no pro
posals unless they are accompanied
with a guarantee of the independence
of the republics.
The Daily Mail's correspondent at
Capetown says that Cecil Rhodes,
speaking at Bulawayo Saturday, pre
dicted that a federation of South
African states would come in three
or four years. But be contended that
to grant self-government to the re
publics before federation would render
federation impossible.

BUCK HORN WAS IQLY.
With a Taklma Iodlan He Tried to Har
der a Policeman.
PENDLETON, Ore., June 17. Half
a dozen well mounted Umatilla In
dians are scouring the Blue mountains
to capture Black Horn of the Umatilla
reservation and a Yakima Indian who
last night tried to murder Brisbow,
chief of the Indian police. The lat
ter, about midnight, was attempting
to arrest Black Horn and the Yakima
Indian for being drunk and disorder
ly, when Black Horn drew a pistol
and the Yakima Indian a dirk. They
rushed on Brisbow, who fired three
times without effect. The Yakima In
d'an ran behind and struck Brisbow
lu the back of the head, knocking
him insensible. Parr, another Indian,
fired twice, but failed of his mark.
Jack, also a policeman, started up
a fusillade with no better results.
Black Horn and the Yakima then
sprang on their horses and left for
the Blue mountains. Black Horn,
two years ago, was accused of mur
dering Wip Sha and afterwards plac
ing his body on the railroad tracks.
JAPAN THE 0LY HITCH.
Cannot Borrow Money at 4 Per Cent far
China.
PEKIN, June 17. The foreign mln
isters say that although yesterday's
ueeting did not result in the settle
ment of matters, still things are work
ing most satisfactorily toward a con
elusion and that the amount of the
indemnity and the per cent rate of
li terest were almost agree upon, the
only hitch being with regard to Jap-
rn, which country cannot borrow
money under 5 per cent It is the de-
c're of most of the ministers to ar
range this satisfactorily, as it Is felt
that Japan deserves special consider
ation. The probability is that audi
ticnal bonds will be given sufficient to
cover the loss.
Special Commissioner Rockhlll, on
behalf of the United States, has
agreed to add 5 per cent tc the tariff
provided China would agree to the
widening and dredging of the Shan Si
pud Pel Ho rivers and also to certain
tariff reforms.

A
ferryboat North field Goes Down With
Hundreds of Paiiengen.
LOSS Or lift IS NOT YET KNOWN
Jerae Central Eiprm Boat Ifaarn
Cbaak Don the Mlachlef A Craib
Cava Viler Waa Instantly rtUad with
Struggling " D Women.
NEW YORK. June 14. One of the
most frightful ferry collisions in the
history of this city took place at 6
o'clock this evening just off the foot of
Whitehall street The Nortbfleld of
the Staten Island ferry, crowded to
the guards, was run Into and sunk in
nine minutes by the Jersey Central
railroad express boat Mauch Chunk.
A score or more of passengers are
dead, but the total drowned may not
be discovered for days.
Within three minutes after the col
lision the water was filled with frantic
men and women, screaming for help
and struggling to keep above the sur
face. Before the Northfield had gone
more than 200 feet from its slip it be
came apparent that a collision was in
evitable.
The captains of both vessels rang
furiously to their engineers to stop
and back, full speed astern, and btoh
boats whistled loudly. Then the crash
came. A startling cry of fear as if
from one voice was heard, then the
shrieks and shouts of the hundreds
packed on the Staten Island ferry.
Scores of women fainted. Others leap
ed madly Into the water. The boats
iter an instant's pause succeeding the
ramming, separated. Through a great
ragged hole torn in the berryboat's side
water streamed in a torrent Many of
the women were hysterical and with
whitened faces and tears running down
their cheeks they clutched to the life
savers, which were tightly secured in
a network of wires.
With but few exceptions every man
aboard behaved like a hero. All knew
the Northfield was mortally hurt It
waa rolling heavily and sinking rap
idly. But these men. Borne of them
laborers going from their work, others
bankers from Wall street returning
to their country houses on the island,
thought flrBt of the women and chil
dren. Scores of men seized little ones
In their arms or took charge of the
two or three women nearest them and
encouraged tbem and cheered them
with assurances of safety. Many of
the women refused to be quieted, seized
life preservers and Jumped,
Tugs and craft of every sort, hearing
the dying siren of the stricken boat,
steamed full speed toward her frcm the
bay and from North and East rivers.
The Northfield was just floating, a
crippled hulk, as the first tug boat
reached it In scores of cases, women
climbed over the rail on the saloon
deck and held their hands beseeching
ly to the tug boats, almost letting go
their hold before the boats were with
in 100 feet
As fast as the pug nose of a tug
boat bumped against the side of the
Northfield it was black with struggling
men and women, grasping in terror at
anything that promised a hand-hold to
safety. In the front part of the North
field a dozen men passed women and
children to the nearest tug3, picking
them off the side guards, where they
clung in water to their knees and half
unconscious with terror.
12:30 a. m. No bodies have yet been
recovered from the Northfield. The
loss of life can only be estimated by
reports to the police from eye wit
nesses. There was a full tide flowing
and there is little hope of recovering
any bodies tonight

1 THE UNION rACIf IC DEAL
Exported Control or at. Paal Send Op
Stock of Hoth Road.
NEW YORK, June 14. The rumor
was circulated in Wall street whether
for stock jobbing purposes or not re
mains to be seen, that the Union Pa
cific has got control of the St Paul
b the transfer to John D. Rockefeller
of $25,000,000 worth of St Paul stock
by an unnamed holder, supposed to be
James Henry Smith, known as "Si
lent" Smith. The story was denied by
St Paul people, but as it had the ef
fect of sending Union Pacific up 5 2-
points and St Paul up over 4 points,
both issues were heavily dealt in.
According to the story. Smith and
his associates had in their possession
1 25,000,000 worth of St. Paul stock
which has for years been locked up.
Recently J. J. Hill wanted to control
the road In connection with the Great
Northern, and learning that the Smith
coterie controlled nearly a third of the
capital stock, which is 881,520 shares,
or $88,152,000, he made overtures look
ing toward the acquisition of tbelr
shari
Smith could not be persuaded to sell,
and Hill took the Chicago, Burlington
Quincy road. Then followed the fight
over the Northern Pacific, which re
sulted in the recent panic. Mr. Rock
efeller is now supposed to have in
duced Mr. Smith to sell his shares. It
is said that among Smith's associates
were two of the St Paul directors.

SOLDIERS HAVE SOLD CLOTHING
lint It la Said that There la Ko Leak la

Much Plunder, However, Ha Been In
eartked at Second Hand Store.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 14. Cap
tion A. W. Kimball, post quartermaster
at the Presidio, made the following
statement today in regard to the al
leged frauds in the sale of the quar
termaster's supplies belonging to the
government:
"I am the officer most concerned In
this matter, yet no one has yet made
any inquiry of me. I am the only
bonded officer at the post and the only
one accountable and disbursing officer.
1! there has been anything irregular
I would be pleased to give all the as
sistance in my power in the search
for the' guilty men, if there are any.
All the government things sold in the
pawn shops are sold by discharged sol
diers from the returning volunteer
regiments."
Colonel J. B. Rawlcs, artillery corps,
post commander, said:
"All this talk of fraud is perfect rot
People have been nagging for a year
on the same subject I have been aware
of the soldiers selling their clothing
for a' long time. One of the puzzling
and perplexing things in army man
agement la to keep the soldiers from
selling their clothing. I am confident
that no quartermaster's sergeant or
civilian employe is implicated In the
selling of even a shoe string."
A warrant has been issued for the
airest of Abe Abrams, son of Louis
Abrams, the second-hand dealer, who,
with another son, is in custody.
Detective Reynolds reported to the
federal authorities today that he found
twenty pairs of government shoes in
a Sacramento store last nigni.
Captain Seymour of the local de-
ctlve force said today:
"No one can say, in view of all that
has transpired within the last few
days, that frauds have not been going
on. Detective Reynolds reports to me
that the investigation has made a stir
among the second-hand stores and
those who deal In the class of goods
stolen from the army, and that those
who have not yet been visited by
Colonel Haua are hurrying to cover
what government goods they have.
"It seems that this Abrams family
has had a monopoly in this trade, and
the quantities which they were able
to supply their customers made It seem
conclusive to my mind that there is
seme one or more having access to the
uartermaster's department In collu
sion with them.
"They will have a hard time explain'
lng away the evidence against them."
The announcement that a warehouse
full of stolen goods has been found
which was made yesterday on the au
thority of Captain Seymour, proves to
t erroneous.
