Boers have torn up twenty-one miles
of Lord Roberts' vital line of rail
way between America Siding and
Koodeval. fa Is a bold raid and vex
atious , but It does not disquiet the
military authorities as yet , for they
expect General Kelly-Kenny to drive
off the marauders and to reopen the
line.

The rapidity of the advance of Lord
Roberta cannot have permitted him to
accumulate large reserves of stores.
Therefore an interruption of the rail
way for a week must embarrass the
army and may bring the forward
operations to a standstill.
Nothing hag been heard from Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on
the railway , the strenuous opposition
to General Rundel and the escape of
Genera ] Botha's division have forced
the War office authorities to the con
clusion that the war Is not yet over ,
though even the occasional civilian
Boer sympathizer can not sec how the
Boer will be able to do anything to
change the result.

document was n translation into Span
ish done by the hand of Buencamlno.
Agulnaldo's order was addressed to
his "valiant pandallhans , " or bolomen.
When the word of the uprising was
given they were to slay all American
soldiers In Manila. The Insurgents
were to repair to housetops , whence
they were to hurl down upon the sol
diers heavy furniture and any iron Im
plements they might have heated red
hot. They were also to have ready In
their houses hot water , which was to
be thrown upon passing soldiers or
squirted at them from bamuoo
syringes. The women and children
were exhorted tq help In preparing tiie
water and boiling oil , which they were
to puss out to the men for use. After
wards the bolomen were to run
through the etreetB slashing Ameri
cans wherever they met them.

having In view for the present t'io pro

entire plan was rejected an uuncccn-

that these could be maintained much
cheaper In connection with the cus-
toma department. General Wood takes
the Ha me view und the Cuban navy

IXNDON , June 9. Definite returns
regarding the severe fighting between
the Chinese troops and the Boxers
which was going on Thursday between
Tien Tsln and Pekln had not been re
ceived at Tien Tsln when the latest
telegrams to reach London were filed.
The Chinese troops , however , had
killed many Boxers , according to some
reports , while another account had
the government soldiery defeated in an
engagement near Pao Ting Fu.
Apparently the legation guards have
not yet taken a hand in the fighting ,
"but they are ready to do so at a mo
ment's notice. The Boxers movement
affects some hundreds of square miles.
Official dispatches to Vienna from Pe
kln aver that the sect Is more powerful
than any political party in Chlnu , em
bracing no less than 4,000,000 , and
manipulated by zealous and adroit
leaders.
The powers are acting in entire con
cert , which at present gives the Chl-
nese government plenty of chance to
put down the disturbances alone. The
Tien Tsln correspondent of the Dally
Mall , telegraphing June 7 , says :
"For the last three tjays the whole
community of Tien Tsin has been pre
paring to defend itself against an ex
pected attack by the Boxers. There is
a continual influx of refugees from the
surrounding country who are now
crowding the city. This Increases the
excitement. Nearly all the villages
surrounding the Tien Tsln are joining
the Bo\ers" movement , which Is tak
ing more and more a fanatical nature.
"Passengers when approaching the
village are driven back by armed
bands. Yesterday the Chinese' troops
were ordered to Machaang , on the
Grand canal , within twenty miles of
which a large body of Boxers is re
ported to be collecting. Attempts to
re-e&tabllsh the regular working of the
Pekln-Tlen Tsln railway have Hitherto
proved futile. Every night the Boxers
net fire to the sleepers and the wood
work of the bridges.
"General Niech seems bent on acting
with energy and dealing out heavy
blows to the rebels , recognizing the
necessity of destroying the piestige of
the Boxers , which has begun to de
moralize his army. "
Secret orders from Pekin state tne
protector of the rebels has paralyzed
military action and raised the status
of the Boxers in the eyes of iie ignor
ant masses. Although the Boxers de
clare their first object to be the anni
hilation of Catholic converts , the wire
pullers evidently wish to propagate
hatred among the country people
against foreigners and things foreign
in general. The movement on the sur
face has a patriotic character , but it
may turn ultimately against the dy
nasty. This seems to be the reason
why It has thus far been treated with
a gentle hand.
The legations at PeKin have wired
for reinforcements.

master Sergeant Albert Votrle , com
pany K , Thirty-ninth volunteer infan
try , at the Barrio of Bagzag , near Ta-
nuan , in the province of Batanga , Feb
ruary 2 , and were sentenced to death
by hanging.
In passing upon the case , General
Otis , as the final reviewing authority ,
said that the findings from the com
mission were fully sustained by the ev
idence and that the death sentence im
posed by it had the express sanction
of the l&ws of war. He was , however ,
unwilling to direct the execution of
the sentence , as he believed that the
accused were Influenced to commit the
crime of which they were convicted by
local guerrilla chiefs , who , he said ,
were the principal criminals in the af
fair. Moreover , he said the prisoners
were ignorant of the legal consequences
of their act. The sentence was com-
mutted in each case to ten years' im
prisonment at hard labor in the Pre
