London, July 16,,-A report f"om Platkop says that the British etc;:ag- ed the Boers all day long Friday. iday. Scouts and mounted infantry arriv- ingnorth located the Boers .1,000 strong, occupying the ridge, from which they were driven. Col. 'I l or:ny- cliCf's men held the ridge facing them. Members of Strathcona's Horse were driven in. temporarily on the right by the heavy musketry flee. After a stubborn resistance the r?oers forced the British to bring the how- itzers into ,action. The infantry deployed for a general advance under Cleary's direction., The Boers opened fire in all direc- tions, shelling with the guns posted on the British right. The Mounted Infantry, in the face of a severe lire attacked the Doers. A gun posted on an entrenched' l .op- je four miles to the east, forced the Boers from a number of r.idgas,' de- tached parties retiring in the centre, while a gun 011 the right was with- drawn through a ravine towards an entrenched hill. Threatened to Shout Stcyo. Senekal, Orange River Colony, ,July 14. -Gen. 12,unc1le's rapid advance has, it is said, forced the Boers into an obviously bad corner. President Steyn is reported, to have given up all hope since the loss of Bethlehem, and would have surrend- ered, but Gen, Dewet threatened to shoot him and it is believed he was imprisoned in his own laager. Capt. Driscoll of D Scouts, who went alone to Zuringkrantz to view the Boer positions, was surprised at breakfast by four Boer scouts. ISe picked up his rifle and commanded them to surrender or he would shoot. The four surrendered, al- though Driscoll was ten miles away from the twain body of the scouts and close to a large Boer force. ,Is Roberts' Health Broken? London, July 16. -It is rumored in official circles that Lord' Roberts' health is breaking and that Gen. Buller's appointment as chief in command is possible. It is said there is also serious friction between Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener, whose autocratic methods have pro- duced bitter discontent in the stall. Tire transport and supplies service has failed again, which with the bickerings of the commanders, is given as the cause of the prolonged fighting. around Pretoria. A BRITISH DISASTER. Roars Capture Nitrni's Nek With Troops and Guns.. London, July 13, -Lord Roberts reports to the War Office. under date of Pretoria, July 12, as follows: "The enemy having failed in their attack upon our right rear, as men- tioned in my telegram of July 9, made a determined attack upon our right flank yesterday, and, I regret to say, succeeded in capturing Ni- tral's Nek, which was garrisoned by a squadron of the Scots Greys with two guns of a battery of the Royal Artillery and five companies of tiie Lincolnshir e Regiment. The enemy attacked in superior numbers at dawn, and seizing the hill donineand- ing the Nek brought a heavy gun fire to bear upon the small garrison. Nitral's Nek is about 18 miles from here, near wherethe road crosses the Crocodile River. It vas held by us in order to maintain road and telegraphic ra i communication ontfriunication with Rustenburg. "The fighting lasted more or less throughout the day, and immediate- lyly on receiving information early this morning of the enemy's strength, 1 despatched reinforcements from here under Col. Godfrey of the King's Own Scottish Borderers. Before, however, they reached the spot, the garrison had been overpowered and the guns and a greater portion of the squadron of Greys had been cap- tured, owing to the horses being shot; also about 90 men of the Lin- coln regiment. •"A list of the casualties has not been received, but I' fear they are heavy. Simultaneously an attack was made on our outposts, near Durdepoort, north' of the town in which the 7th. Dragoons were engag- ed. The regitnent was handled with considerable skill by Lieut. -Col Low and 1,3pt the enemy in check until they retired on their supports and would probably have suffered but slight loss had not our troops mis- taken some Boers in the bushes for our men. "Smith-Dorrien had a successful en- gs ement with the en m yesterday, near Krugersdorp, and inflicted heavy loss on them. "Buller reports that the Boers who were destroying his line of railway near Paardekraal were driven off yesterday after a short action. London, July 13. --News has reach- ed London each-ed,.London that Lord.

London, July 1,6, 6 a. m. -Confir- mation of the awful rumors in refer- ence to Pekin has now been received from Shanghai. Sheng, the direc- tor of telegraphs; obtained audience oI the whole 1 Satur- day, e Const lar body on ,, atur- dly, and informed them that on or about June 30 the foreigners in trio British Legations were annihilated. The information had reached him from the Governor of Shantung. 1 N 2 • LO IZ `0 THE CHINESE.. KNEW That the Feeeiruers, Were. All Killed iu Pekin :. Wee Ago.: The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Mail says : "I can assert positively that the Chinese authorities bad the dread- ful news -from Pekin a week ago and tint Sheng knew all the forolgners 111 Pekin were dead when he asked tee American eousttl to cable Washiugton a proposalto deliver the foreigners in safety at 'lien. 10111 on condition theft the aloes woni li suspend their operations to the .North of I'ekin." The correspondent adds certain details of 111711rs at Pekin after Jun 35. According to his story members or the legations Blade daily sorties soneetitues by Inger, and so successfully as to compel the Chinese to retreat from the immediate vicinity, These reverses had a disneart ening effect on the Chtnese, and there. soon began to be open sigus of disaffection, followed by desertions to Prince tlruhg's army, which was endeavoring to co,oper- ate with the besieged. Ultimately Prince Tuan decided to make a night attacl: to three +powerrul columns. At 0 o'clock on the evening of July (t,". u says the correspondent, "fire was opened with artillery upon the British legation, where the foreigners were concentrated. For two hours the evens were battered with shut and shell, and huge breaches were etude in them. Then a general advance was ordered and the Uhlnese tntantry, volleying constantly, moved toward the gaps. The fire of the deefnders, however, was so accurate and steady that hordes of Chinese soldiers and Boxers broke and 0ed In the wildest confusion, leaving large num-. hers of dead and wounded around the lega- tion. They could not be rallied until they were out of rifle range of the foreigners, "Then Prince Tuan, making a desperate appeal, induced them to' stand and return to the attack. Artillery fire was theu re- sumed and at the middle watch a second attack was attempted. But before'the at- tackers could. accomplish their object they were met by Prince Ching and Gen.. Well 1Vin Shao with their troops, who were go- ing to the aid of the foreigners. A de- Sperate battle ensued between' the various farces of Chinese and Manchus. "Unfortunately many of Prince Ching's troops deserted to Prince Tuau. Prince Ching fell and was supposed to have beeu killed, but' as the search for his body was unsuccessful It Is now believed he was only wounded and carried oft and secreted by his faithful retainers. "Gen. Wen Win Shao, _altbo grey hatr- ed and 70 years old, valiantly led his troops in person. Ile was killed and his force, which was completely outnumbered, was routed. 'Thruout the night repeated attacks' were made on the legation, but these were invariably repulsed, with heavy losses. Toward the end of the third wateu, about 5 e,m., the allies had praetieafly cte feated the besiegers, who were waveri-ig and gradually withdrawing.. But just then Gen. Tung Puh. Siang arrived from the ric'.ntty of Tien Tsln, witha large force. By this time the weals of the Legation had been battered down, and most of ttfe buildillga were Inruins. Many of the allies had fallen at their posts, and the smell band that was left took refuge in the wrecltod` buildings, which they endeav tirtirtlty, "Upon hasthelyto firefoof the Chinese, artillery was directed. Townrds sunrise It was evi- dent that the ammunition of the allies was running' out, and at 7 o'clock, as the dvanees of the Chinese force fatted to draw a response, a rush was detertulned upon. "Thus, `'standing 'together, as the sup rose, the little remaining' band of tIluro• peens met death, stubbornly. Mere was a desperate hand to, hand encounter. The Chinese lost heavily, but as one man fell others edvancad, and, finally, ly, overcome by overwhelming 'er s, every odd..one of the Euro- peans remaining was put to the sword ,a, the most atrocious.' manner."
