V V. XV. ROBERTS' LINES CUT BY BOERS Defenders of the Transvaal Cut Communications of Invaders. A Hundred Hollanders and a Big Supply Train Fall Into the Hands of Kruger's Men. According to South African advises reaching London, General Dewet has again succeeded in cutting Lord Roberts' communications, both by railway and, telegraph, and captured 100 of the Highlanders. The story of the federal commander's bold raid comes in the form of a telegraph from General Forester-Walker, dated at Cape Town, Sunday, July 22d, forwarding a dispatch from General Knox as follows: "Kroonstad, July 22.—Following from Broadwood, sent by dispatch rider to Honingspruit, wired thence to Kroonstad: "Have followed commandos July 16th. Hard, sharp fighting at Palmiumfontein July 19th. Prevented from pursuing lager by darkness. Eight dead Boers found. Our casualties five killed and 76 wounded. Reach Vaalkrantz today. Enemy doubled back through Paardekraal in darkness. Small march tomorrow to Roidevsal station. Send supplies for 3,000 men and horses, also any news of the enemy's movements. I believe the commando consists of 2,000 men and four guns, and is accompanied by President Steyn and both the Dewets.' General Knox continues: "The wire and main line of the railway north of Honingspruit have been cut, and also the telegraph via Potchefstroom. According to my information Dewet has crossed the railway and is going north." General Kelly-Kenny telegraphed from Bloemfontein under date of Sunday, July 22d: "The railway has been cut north of Honingspruit and a supply train and a hundred Highlanders captured by the enemy. A report was received this morning that a large force of the enemy is moving on Honingspruit. All communication with Pretoris is cut off. The Second and Third cavalry brigades are following the enemy." The war office has received a telegram from Lord Roberts dated Pretoris, Sunday, July 22d, which repeats the news contained in the telegram from General Forester-Walker, given above, and continues: "Methuen continued his march after the occupation of Heckport and engaged the enemy's rear guard at Zindsfontein, July 20th. Casualties, one killed and one wounded. Early Saturday he attacked the enemy again at Oliphant's, Nek and completely dispersed them, inflicting heavy loss. Our casualties were slight. By these successes Rustenberg has been relieved and Methuen and Baden-Powell have joined hands. "Hunter reports that Bruce Hamilton secured a position on the Spitzeray yesterday with a battery and the Cameron Highlandors and 500 mounted men. Our casualties were three of the Camerons killed and Captain Keith Hamilton, of the Oxfords; Captain Brown and Lieutenant Stewart and thirteen men of the Camerons wounded." Leiters reached London from the British troops in Orange River colony assert that both men and horses are short on supplies and out of condition for hard work. If this be true, and there is little cause for wonder at the failure to capture Dewet and at the apparent paralysis of the operations. COSTLY FIRE IN ST. PAUL Cold Storage and Warehouse Plant Buried—Loss $750,000; Insurance $550,000. The St. Paul Gold Storage and Warehouse company's large warehouse at St. Paul, Minn. was destroyed by fire.Monday. The total loss is estimated at $750,000, with an insurance of $550,000. MURDERED WHILE ASLEEP. Farmer Dixon's Head Was Crushed In By an Ax or Hatchet. W. G. Dixon, a farmer living four miles west of Wrightsville, Ga., was murdered Sunday night between 12 and 1 o'clock. His wife retired about 12 o'clock, leaving her husband and children asleep. About 1 o'clock she was aroused by the struggling of her husband and on striking a match found his head, above the left eye and on forehead, crushed in several places as with the eye of a small ax or hatchet. No one has any idea as to who committed the crime or what prompted it. Savannah THAT CHINESE EDICT Lays Trouble at Door of Missionaries and Holds Attack on Tien Tisn Unwarranted. The state department at Washington has made public the following text of an edict delivered Monday by Minister Wu to Secretary Hay. This is the edict referred to by United States Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, in his message received in Washington Sunday: "An imperial edict: Issued on the first day of the sixth moon (July 17th), transmitted by the Viceroy Liu Kun Yuh on the 20th of July, and received by Minister Wu on the 21st of July at 7 o'clock: "The present conflict between China and the foreign powers had its origin in the long-standing antagonism between the people and Christian missions. The subsequent fall of the Taku forts precipitated the meeting of force with force. The imperial government having due regard to the importance of international intercourse still refused to go so far as to interrupt the existing relations. We have already repeatedly issued degrees providing for the protection of the foreign legations and also commanded the provincial authorities to protect the missionaries. "Inasmuch as there is still no cessation in the employment of force, foreign merchants and subjects residing in China who form a numerous body in the country should be protected without distinction. We hereby command all the Tartar generals, governors and governors of provinces to look after the foreign merchants and missionaries living in the open ports, prefectures, departments and districts undef their respective jurisdiction, and to afford them due protection in accordance with the treaty stipulations without fail. "Last month we heard, with profound astonishment and regret, of the killing of the chancellor of the Japanese logation, Mr. Akira, and the same fate befell the German minister shortly afterwards. The violent removal of the German ministers whose residence at the capital was necessary to the transaction of business between the two countries, affected us very deeply. It is the duty of the authorities concerned to cause stringent orders for the speedy arrest and punishment of the murderers to be carried out. "Since the commencement of the attack in Tien Tsin there are foreign subjects and missionaries who have, on account of local disturbances, suffered death or loss of property through no fault of their own. We hereby command the governor of Pekin and the viceroy of Chi Li to cause investigations to be made by their respective subordinates of all such claims, except those arising directly from the said attack, with a view to their ultimate settlement. "Moreover, local outlaws and rebelious subjects have of late given themselves up to burning, killing and plundering to the great disquiet of our loyal subjects. This is an utter defiance of law. We hereby command the said governors general, the governors and commanders of our forces, to investigate the situation, and to take such measures for the punishment of the offenders and restoration of peace as the necessities of the case demand. We hereby command this, our general edict, to be made known for the information of all it may concern. Respect this." A significant statement in the above edict is noted in that passage which directs an investigation of all claims "except those arising directly from the said attack (attack on Tien Tsin) with a view to their ultimate settlement." This appears to make plain not only that the Chinese government will settle claims for actual losses, but that it has now formally decreed an exception of those claims arising directly from the attack on Tien Tsin. It seems to indicate that the Chinese government holds that the attack on Tien Tsin was unwarranted. LONDON RECEIVES NEWS What Foreigners Are Safe In Pekin and Will Be Sent to Tien Tsin. The Chinese minister in London has communicated to the press the following dispatch from Sheng, director general of Chinese railways and telegraphs and tao-tai of Shanghai, dated Shanghai, July 23d: "Information from Pekin, dated July 18th, says that the Tsung Li Yamen deputed Won Jui, an under secretary of the department, to see the foreign ministers and be found every one well, without any missing, the German excepted. General Wung Lo is going to memorialize the throne to send them all under escort to Tien Tsin in the hope that the military operations will then be stopped." Attends Mother.In-Law's Funeral. Secretary Hay left Washington Monday for Cleveland, O., to attend the funeral of Mrs. Hay's mother. SAVANNAH: GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 28 1900. TEXT OF REPLY SENT TO CHINA In Answer to Emperor's Plea For Our Mediation. No Action, However, Will Be Taken Unless Assent of Other Powers Is Secured. The following correspondence between the president of the United States and the emperor of China was made public by the state department Tuesday: "The Emperor of China to His Excellency the President of the United States—Greeting: "China has long maintained friendly relations with the United States and is deeply conscious that the object of the United States is international commerce. Neither country entertains the least suspicion or distrust toward the other. Recent outbreaks of mutual antipathy between the people and Christian missions caused the powers to view with suspicion the position of the imperial government as favorable to the people and prejudicial to the missions, with the result that the Taku forts were attacked and captured. Consequently there has been clashing of forces with calamitous consequences. "The situation has become more and more serious and critical. We have just received a telegraphic memorial from our envoy, Wu Ting Fang, and it is highly gratifying to us to learn that the United State government, having in view the relations between the two countries, has taken a deep interest in the present situation. Now China, driven by the irresistible course of events, has unfortunately incurred well-nigh universal indignation. For settling the present difficulty China places special reliance in the United States. We address this message to your excellency in all sincerity and candidness, with the hope that your excellency will devise measures and take the initiative in bringing about a concert of the powers for the restoration of order and peace. The favor of a kind reply is earnestly requested and awaited with the greatest anxiety. "(Signed) 26th year, 6th moon, 23d day (July 19.) Kwang Hsu, 1979 M'KINLEY'S REPLY. The cablegram was at once communicated to the president at Canton, O., and the following is his reply: to the Emperor of China—Greeting: "I have received your majesty's message of the 19th and am glad to know that your majesty recognizes the fact that the government and people of the United States desires of China nothing but what is just and equitable. The purpose for which we landed troops in China was the rescue of our legation from the grave danger and the protection of lives and progeny of Americans who were sojourning in China, in the enjoyment of rights guaranteed them by treaty and by international law. The same purposes are publicly declared by all the powers which have landed military forces in your majesty's empire. "I am to infer from your majesty's letter that the malefactors who have disturbed the peace of China, who have murdered the minister of Germany and a member of the Japanese logation, and who now hold besieged in Pekin those foreign diplomats who still survive, have not only not received any favor or encouragement from your majesty, but are actually in rebellion against the imperial authority. If this be the case I most solemnly urge upon your majesty's government the grave public assurance whether the foreign ministers are alive, and, if so, in what condition. "To put the diplomatic representatives of the powers in immediate and free communication with their respective governments and to remove all danger to their lives and liberty." "To place the imperial authorities of China in communication with the relief expedition so that co-operation may be secured between them for the liberation of the legionaries, the protection of foreigners and the restoration of order. "If these objects are accomplished, it is the belief of this government that no obstacle will be found to exist on the part of the powers to an amicable settlement of all the questions arising out of the recent troubles, and the friendly good office of this government will, with the assent of the other powers, be cheerfully placed at your majesty's disposition for that purpose.

Attempt to Arrest Alleged Negro Desperado Brings On a Lively and Bloody Battle In Crescent City. A trifling incident began a series of tragedies in New Orleans Tuesday, which revived memories of the Italian lynching some years ago. Two suspicious negroes were hanging around a quiet neighborhood, and somebody took the precaution to inform the police. Several officers went to the scene, and instead of making explanations or going to jail, the negroes showed fight. Pistols were soon in play, and Officer Mora was seriously shot. One of the negroes was arrested, but Robert Charles, who did the shooting, since said to be a desperate burglar and exconvict, got away, although he was wounded. The police organized a pursuit and succeeded in locating the fugitive in his shanty. Captain John T. Day, commanding the precinct, led a posse of police to this shanty and tried to reach the refuge by a dark alley leading to it. They carried lanterns and were easily distinguished, and when they got close enough Charles oped fire with a winchester rifle, killing Captain Day and keeping up the fusilade until the captain had five wounds in him. A negro woman opened the door of an adjoining room and told the police to jump in, as Charles had rifles and ammunition and an impregnable position. They obeyed, thinking to hold Charles in his quarters until help or daylight came. Officer Lamb was the last of the three survivors to attempt to reach shelter, after emptying their revolvers in the den of the negro, and Charles reached out and dropped him with a bullet behind the ear. Nearly an hour elapsed before reinforcements came, and these were placed around the block to prevent escape. It was then discovered that Charles had already left the room, though a shot at the pickets told that he was in the neighborhood. The two dead policemen were removed, and a systematic search organized, but no trace of the fugitive was found. Police armed with winchester rifles and citizens similarly equipped, and a borrowed bloodhound kept up the quest. The mayor of New Orleans offered a reward of a hundred dollars and Governor Heard has added two hundred and fifty dollars for the state. Parties are out in all directions, even miles away from the city, and all trains and cars were searched. Suspects were arrested in the suburbs, but were not the right men. In the meantime the police had work to do, and the whole force was kept busy. Thousands of people gathered around the scene of the shooting and, lacking a victim or other excitement, proposed vengeance on the property and on the negroes in the horrors around. The police promptly quelled disturbances and jailed a number, but the guard had to be increased. ANOTHER "BELATED" LETTER. Foreign Office at London Hears From Sir Claude McDonald. The foreign office has received a dispatch from the British consul at Tien Tain had just received a letter from Sir Claude McDonald, the British minister at Pekin, dated July 14, appealing for relief. There were enough provisions at the legation to last a fortnight, the letter said, but the garrison was unequal to the task of holding cut against a determined attack for many days. There has been forty-four deaths and about double that number wounded. The foreign office thinks the dispatch does not affect the main question of the reported massacre of members of the legation at Pekin. Photographers In Convention. The Photographers' Association convened its annual meeting in Milwaukee Tuesday with a large attendance. The day was taken up with demonstrations in color photography and papers. ELEVEN NEGROES DROWNED. All Were In a Skiff Which One of Their Number Caused to Upset. News of the drowning of eleven negroes in the Warrior river, at lock No. 5, near Akron, Ala., Monday afternoon reached Birmingham Monday night. The negroes were working for Christy, Lowe & Hayworth, and for some reason were crossing the river about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. One negro, named George Moors, is said to have rocked the skiff in a spirit of fun, which caused it to qpset. The negroes went down into the water and being so badly frightened and the river so swift none could be rescued.

The department of state has received a dispatch from Consul Goodnow, at Shanhai, saying that the governor of Shan Tung wires that the boxers and soldiers were bombarding the legations for a final attack upon the 7th of July. He is extremely anxious for the safety of the ministers and friendly Chinese in Pekiu. The consul adds that fears for the worst are generally entertained. The state department has also received a dispatch from Consul McWade at Canton, saying that the vicegeroy, Li Hung Chang, has engaged quarters upon the Chinese steamer Apping, but that the date of his departure from the north is still undecided. Consul General Goodnow's message terribly depressed the officials here. All along they have suspected that the various communications received from Chinese sources in Shanghai have been preparing the way for the announcement of the extermination of the foreign ministers and their wives, children, attaches, dependents and guards. The consul general's message, it is understood, is but a repetition of the latest press reports from Shanghai, but the state department has come to place a high estimate on Mr. Goodnow's messages. It appreciates the fact that he does not send every piece of unreliable gossip afloat in the sensational center where he is stationed, but uses good judgment in sifting out the probable from the other kind of news. Moreover, his advice this time is from the Chinese governor of the province wherein Shanghai is situated. It is hard to conceive of an adequate reason for falsification of the facts by that official in the direction of this report. Therefore the state department, which has all along been hopeful of the ultimate rescue of the ministers at Pekin, has now joined European chanceories in the belief that they have all been killed. DATE OF NOTIFICATION. Committee Will Call On Bryan and Stevenson at Indianapolis, August 8. William Jennings Bryan and Adalian E. Stevenson will be formally notified of their selection as the presidential and vice presidential nominees of the Democratio party August 8, at Indianapolis, Ind. Information to this effect has been received by Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, from Senator Jones, the national chairman. Mr. Richardson will make the speech of notification to Mr. Bryan, and Governor Charles E. Thomas, of Colorado, that to Mr. Stevenson. A Lincoln special says: The data, August 8th, on which Mr. Bryan is to receive official notification of his nomination by the Democratic committee is satisfactory to him. It is doubtful if he will leave Lincoln much before that time, though he does not himself know just what his programme will be. He does not, however, expect to make any speeches in advance of his notification. Mr. Bryan is spending much of the time in his library with his stenographer, working on material for the campaign. Charles A. Towne has been with him most of the time. BOLOS FOUGHT PEROCIOUSLY. Americancs Were Forced To Engage In Hand-to-Hand Fight With Filipinos. The war department has received an interesting report from Captain George A. Dodd, of the Third cavalry, in regard to the operations in northwestern Luzon with troop F, of that regiment, from April 8th to May 3rd last. Captain Dodd's force, consisting of eighty-seven men and ninety-three horses, left Vigan on April 8th and headed northward. Early on the morning of the 15th his command encountered a large party of insurgents under Gregorio Agilhay in the mountains near Badoo. In a fierce fight, lasting an hour forty-nine insurrectors were killed, four were mortally wounded and forty-four were made prisoners. The affray took place in a thick jungle which made the movements of the soldiers very difficult. The command then proceeded to hunt down a large body of insurgents which was believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of Badoa. At daylight on the 25th instant they met their quarry and another sharp engagement took place. The bolo men are said to have fought with great ferocity, and the troopers were obliged to put aside their caribines and close in with their revovers in a hand to hand fight. In this fight 120 insurgents were killed outright and five captured with rifles and horses. Captain Dodd's only casualty was a spear wound suffered by sergeant F. R. Coppeck in the fighting at close quarters. This engagement, says the report, practically squalcled an attempted uprising in Hoocos Norte. Next day the Filipinos were again at work in the fields. Captain Dodd's command arrived back of Vigan on May 3d, having covered a distance of 435 miles. NO 42 NO ADVANCE YET AWHILE United States Is Alone as Regards Immediate Action In the Matter--England Not Ready. A Washington special says: Two dispatches from Chinese officials and one from Admiral Remey, at Taku, represented the news developments of Saturday so far as the Chinese situation was concerned. The Chinese dispatches were corroborative, or were intended to be so, of the important news of Friday relative to the state of the legations. Admiral Remey's dispatch, aside from a list of casualties, already treated in brief form, was most important. It conveyed the disagreeable news that the international column would not begin its advance upon Pekin before the middle of August. This notice was received in Washington with consternation, in view of Mr. Conger's advice of the desperate position the legationers were in on the 18th. The delay is incomprehensive to the officials. It is known that an army, already formidable in numbers and of veteran soldiers, is at Tien Tsin and Taku, and with a courageous leader it was expected that this would push on at once; cutting loose from its base if need be, and forcing its way to Pekin, leaving the reinforcements now steaming toward Taku from every quarter of the globe to reestablish the base and to reopen communication. It is possible to draw two conclusions from a failure of the foreign commanders to do this. First the European governments have allowed their skepticism as to the authority of Mr. Conger's dispatch to carry them to the point of deciding coolly and deliberately upon the first supposition, namely, that there are no foreigners alive to be saved; consequently there is no need for haste. The other conclusion is that friction is developing among the internationals in spite of the earnest endeavors of the powers, whose motives to China are so far unimpeached, to prevent it. Color is lent to this latter theory by the fact that the governments have so far been unable to agree upon an international commander for the expedition to Pekin, and this, too, in spite of the fact that Admiral Remey, acting by the instructions of his government, is exhausting every effort to induce the other commanders at Taku and Tien Tsin to hasten their movements. ENGLAND NOT READY. A London special says: The request of Secretary of State Hay at Washington to the powers to make an immediate forward movement upon Pekin is not likely to meet with any success in England. Lord Salisbury is just as eager as the American secretary of state to adopt such a step, but he is practically convinced that it will be impossible until September, owing to local conditions and the allies' lack of equipment. Beyond a courteous reply that England is willing to co-operate in any movement that the commanders on the spot may deem advisable, nothing is likely to come of the latest American effort to reach the Chinese capital, for all official advices received indicate that a dash toward Pekin in the immediate future would be military suicide. The government's attitude may be described as philosophic determination to grin and bear it, hoping for the best, yet fearing the worst, until troops and climatic conditions enable the powers to enter Pekin and ascertain without a shadow of doubt the extent and cause of China's present disintegration. Until that is accomplished all is suspended, not only regarding the future of China, but also as to the nature and severity of the retribution to be exacted. CAMPANIA IN COLLISION. Strikes the Bark Embleton, Cutting Her In Twain and Causing Loss of Life. A London cable dispatch says: A dense fog hung over the Irish channel Saturday morning and the Onnard line steamer Campania, en route from New York for Liverpool, struck the Liverpool bark Embleton, bound for New Zealand, amidship, cutting her in twain. The Embleton sank immediately. Seven of the crew were rescued, but it is believed the other eleven members of the ship's craw, including the captain, were drowned. The Campania had her bow stone in, but arrived safely. Liverpool five hours late.

It is far less excusable than then. As on that occasion the lynching re- sulted from the murder of piehgbers of the police force. The culprit has not been found, but the mob has in- augurated a saturnalia of crime and the gutters of New Orleans have lit- erally streamed with blood.

Women have been cruelly beaten and colored men in the market pees have been mur- dered in cold blood. It is hard to believe that euch scenes could be en- aeted eten in a mecurial community like New Orleans, where creole blood is excitable in tropical weather and where insurrection can be fermented ata moment’s natice.

Within’ the lodge-room ‘should be love;> peace, joy, ‘benevo- Ienee, brotherhood—all the beauties | of fraternal affection. Where these prevail in a lodge there is prosperity. —Masonic Chronicle. | Masou’s duty is first to his Lodge second to all other lodges; and third to the world, Youdo not bave to go far peyond your own membership to find those who need relief. In old-tinie Musonry the Master and Wardens knew the pecuniary status of every member. Now they do not. Why? Lodge too large. I belong to one of the best Lodges in De- troit for fourteen years, and I can- not name iscuty-iive members with- out looking at the list. ‘I'he officers ure not much better, and our Lodge is noted for good work. No Lodge ahold have more than 250 members and $250 over and above expenses, Be good to your own. Said a gen- tleman in Detroit toa brother Ma- eon: “Can you recommend me to some one to goright to work on a $1,000 yearly salary?” “I can, sir.” And he mentioned the name of a brother in another Lodge, who got the position, although four brethren in his own Lodge, fully capable, were “down on their uppers and luck.” Another sin of commission—John W.

D., several concerns have placed his picture on the market With out the least authority of the family to‘do so, x Allof the members of the de- ceased church, and many friends are desirous of securing a real good picture of him, a picture that would ‘reflect good judgment on every pur- chaser, and adorn the parlor of the ‘most fastidious person, In secur- ing a picture its excellence of qual- ‘ity, finish, durability, the neatness of the frame, ete., should all be tak- ‘en in consideration, especially when ‘oneis to be secured of such great aman as Rev. Love. This picture has been authorized by the family and no other person has the right to dispose of any other kind, Rey. Love's members and many friends should respect the wishes of the family and do not encourage the sale of pictuies that are distasteful to them. The pic- ‘ture that is approved by the family is sold for $1.98 cash, or $300 on time by paying fifty cents cash and ‘the balance at fifty cents per week. | The publisher of this picture has the name and address of every member of Rev, Love’s Church, ‘and a tepresentative will call upon each one of them for an order, and as noone else is authorized to sell ‘these pictures, it is expected that ‘the members and friends will save ‘their orders and see that it is given only to the proper parties, = Several of these pictures have béen already sold azd_ the persons to whon? they were sold have heen Joud in their commendation, This picture should be in the home of every member of the First A.

Several atudents,who received train- ing in the division of brickmasonry last term, are now employed by a white contractor in the erection of a Jlargé brick building in the city of Tuskegee. They are giving perfect satisfaction in their work. Nearly all the graduates of the Present year’s class are at work at the trades which they learned here. The health of the school is much better than it has been for many years, Thanks to the foresight and efficient care of our Resident Physi- cian and Head Nurse. Three leading institutions of the South have applied to Principal Washington during the past month for Tuskegee graduates to teach and conduct agricultural and mechanical divisions. It has been gratifying to recommend young men and women who will be able to satisfactonty meet any demand that may be made upon them.
