NO QUARTER. GIVEN OR ASKED
The Government Hurrying All Avail

Disturbed District.

PRETORIA, South Africa, Aug. 1.-THE
rebellion OF the Kaf1rs is assuming alarm
ing proportions.
The Transvaal police department, which
has been attempting to relieve the garri-
son at Agatha, has been repulsed with
serious loss. Emboldened By their success
the Kaffirs pursued the retreating troopers
and attacked the main column of the Boer
forces. The kaffirs were driven back, but
the advance of the column was retarded.
From the Boer settlements all along the
Letaba River come reports of severe fight
ing between isolated parties of retreating
Beers and the Kaffirs; who are burning
Boer homesteads ali along the river.
Tie Beers are fleeing before the Kaffir
advance, taking all their portable prop
erty; but large quantities of provisions
and cattle have necessarily fallen into the
hands of the Kafirs. The latter have MUIR
and children; and the fiercest feelings of
the Beers have been aroused against the
rebels. In all the disturbed districts mail
and passenger coaches have been stopped,
the passengers killed. the coaches looted
and destroyed and the mules stolen.
The MurchisoD road is entirely closed.
The Kaffirs are reported to have erected a
strong barricade across it at point where
it passes between two hills. The Govern
ment is re-enforcing its troops as rapidly
as possible, and it is expected an advance
in force will be made upon the Kaffirs to-
day or Tomorrow.

RUINED BY DROUGHT.
Suffering Among Farmers of
Western Nebraska.
The Railroads Will Give Poor Men
Chance to Save Their
Stock.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 17.-NOt in a month
has 50 much rain fallen along the lines OF
the Burlington and Union Pacific as that
OF last night, in some cases soaking show
ers being reported, while in others il was
steady downpour for several hours.
While the rain comes too late for corn it
will help grass considerably, and that is
most needed by farmers in the drought
stricken districts of the State. As a re-
suit of the exceedingly dry weather in
South Platte sections the Burlington
has reduced the rate on grain from
Omaha to interior points affected
by the drought for the purpose of giving
farmers who are hard hit by hot winds a
chance to buy grain to feed their stock,
thus being permitted to tide over present
conditions. The Union Pacific will follow
the lead of the Burlington and will make
the same rate TO common points as the
Burlington.
The stories of distress being received by
the railroads are touching, one man having
killed thirtv-tive head or horses on Tues
day near North Platte rather than allow
them to starve. There are numberless
cases of this kind being reported, farmers
being unable to give stock away. because of
the inability of people to care for it

EARNEST SILVER MEN.
In the Fight for the White
Metal to Stay.
Voters in All the States Will
Present a Solid Front
to Gold.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE policy to
be pursued in advancing the principles Of
bimetallism was outlined at to.day's ses-
sion of the American Bimetallic League.
Speeches were made by several Congress-
men and by delegates from various
States.
Bland characterized the silver question
as purely practical one and urged that
the political battles of the future be fought
on the proposition that any change of
basis must be put in allegiance until the
full restoration of silver is accomplished,
Representative Coffeen of Wyoming re-
ferred to the money question as the over
shadOwing issue before the county, and
advocated more money as the only relief
for general distress and depression. The
restoration of silver to all rights and priv
ileges it had at the mints before the de-
monetization act of 1878 be declared was
the first step to be taken in all money re-
FORMS
Bryan of Nebraska also made short
speech, advocating unity of action among
bimetaIlists.
A declaration was adopted recountiag
the repeal of the silver purchase law and
establishment of the single gold standard.

creasing depression; that gold has steadily
increased in value; industries are eyery-
where Daralyzed; labor is unsteady and
precarious; business unimprOved and
debtors bankrupt. 1t is asserted that there
is no hope of relief until the double
standard of 10 to is restored and that the
money question is the supreme issue be-
fore the country. Voters are urged to
make this issue paramount to all other
considerations in the election of all State
legislatures, Congressman ana President.
1t is recommended that a convention be
held at some central point in both the min
ing and agricultural States to perfect an
organization to work for thus end and that
committee of five be appointed to carry
out the plan.

made by Senator Jones on bimetallism in

CHINA's GOOD CREDIT.
Already 1t fias Pushed Up the Price
of Silver.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE fnanciers of
this city, Berlin and other. capitals of
Europe are eagerly discussing the pro-
posed Chinese loan.
Inquiries made by reporter Of the
Associated Press at the Office of Jardine
Matheson & Co., London and China mer.
chants, and at the offices of the Hong.

show that the lean which the great bank
ing institutions of Berlin are said to he
floating for China amounts TO 10000. 600
taels and not to el0,0C0.000. as previously
announced here and in Berlin. A tael is
estimated to be worth about one ounce
and one-thitd of silver, or, roughly speak
ing, sbilings sterling. or 81 40 supposing
that these amounts represent the value of
silver of the weight of one tael.

Wonderful Run of the. Campania
Across the Atlantic

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-The Cunard line
steamer Campania. which arrived this
evening from Liverpool and Queens
town, left Daunts Rock at 12:45 P. NJ
on August .12 and arrived of the
Sandy Hook Iigbtship at As this
evening. Her time of passage was5 days
9hours and 90 minutes, which beats all
previous records by about hours and 10
min utes. The 'Campania had just previous
to sailing be6n on the drydock, and was in
prime condition for making fast run.
Moderate westerly winds were experienced
up TO Augu st. IA. when the wind veered to
the eastward and there was fresh breeze.
On crossing the banks on the 10th much
fog was encountered and it was necessary
to run the engines at reduced speed for
two hours. The wind at this time veered
to the norlhward and continued to port.
0n the 18th the steamer made the remark
able good record of 545knots.
The Campania's daily runs were 516.
52S, 543, .525. ,545 and 126.
The Lucanla,' the sister ship Of the Cam
pania, had held the best western record
between Queenstown and New York since
November last, when she made the yOy-
age I'D days II hours and AZ MINUTES.

China another 81, ,O00, 600. or as much money
as the Government should require, but
Vlceroy Chang declined both offers at that
time. saying there was no immediate neces-
silly for the loan, as China had plenty to 90
on with.
Later, however, it became known that.
In view of the repayment of the last por-
tIonS OF the present. z and per cent gold
bonds due at the Hong-Kong and Shanghai
Banking Company in January, 1895, and
in view also of the war needs, China de-
sired to increase the amount of her avail
able cash. A syndicate of German bank
ers was at once formed in Berlin, and
their agents at Tientsin were instructed to
ask Viceroy Ii Hung Chang for an option
OF the loan. Dozens of London and other
promoters followed the example of Ger
man bankers, and Ii Hung Chang and
the Chinese Minister here were besieged
with offers from responsible and irrespon-
Nole parties anxious to have a share of
some description in the Chinese loan. As
q result tits probable that over Sc, 900, 600
was offered to China, and this produced
the result that China was not inclined to
pay over per cent for her loan.
There is no doubt that eI,5O0,OO0 Of
solu VIII % issued here early In Sep
tember. The loan will probably consists
OF 4-per-cent thirty-year bonds. and at
least twe-thirds of this amount will be
payable to China in silver. For this loan
there is no special security, like the Gus
toms receipts, but only general faith in
China.
1t is not believed that Berlin will have
any controlling hand in the issue of the
loan, although probably Berlin will be
compelled 10 take portion of the loan on
the ground-fiOor terms.
There is great scramble among fnan-
ciers, including London brokers of all
ranks, to get en the inside of the operation,
and there is no doubt the loan is obtain
able in London twenty times over. The
negotiations for the loan have already af-
fected the price of silver, and there is no
question that silver will go higher. Some
financers predict that it will go as high as
32d per ounce. The hardness of the silver
market is most pronounced and it has sym
pathetically hardened the price of copper.

Details of the engagement which re-
suited in the sinking of the British steamer
Kow Sbing. furnished by the japanese,
substantiate the contention that the
owners of the vessel should look TO China
for reparation, asserting that the catas-
trophe was brought about solely by reason
of the Chinese troops aboard refusing to
allow CAPTAIN GalwOrthy TO carry oct the
Instructions given him by the Japanese, he
and his officers being forced TO Jump into
the sea to escape being shot by the Chi
hese, who were his passengers. Japan in
sists that the Kow Shing was sunk on ac-
count of the piratical conduct of the
Chinese troops on board toward the
British captain.
News is given in the English papers of
okohama of numerous engagements in
which the Japanese ships were victorious.
The names of the vessels engaged are for
the most part left in blank, which makes
the intelligence of their achievements of
little consequence. The Chinese officers
and men OF the dispatch boat accompany
ing the KOw Shing are credited with
having. when thevessel grounded, fired her
and then themselves swan 10 shore.
Forty succeed in eyadiDg pursuit.
:: The Empress did not call at Kobe or
Nagasaki this trip, nor will any trans
Pacific liners till the conflict is over.
Ii Hung Chang has been memorialzed
by General Chi, commander of the Chinese
troops at Jazan, 10 withdraw the forces at
that point, as the japanese are too strong
to be successfully opposed Famine is
men nacing the Chinese forces at that point,
owing to the difficulty in securing supplies.
Chi proposes that the forces should be
Withdrawn entirely and a combination
made with ths troops marching overland,
the whole to constitute an army for new
campaign.
The report that lanre force OF Chinese
troops are being marched overland and
that they are now almost on the borders
OF Korea appears to be authenticated by
latest advices. When Yuan left Seoul he
gave assurances to the head of the power
ini Min family that he would return to
Korea with large army. Not only were
all the demands Of Japan to be refused,
but officials belonging to the independent
party suspected of Japanese sympathy
were to be imprisoned and the ringleaders
punished with death.
An engagement occurred at Seikwan on

RECRUITING DEPoTs ABOLISHED.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-By an order

three great army recruiting depots at
Dayids Island. New York harbor, Colum-

army posts will be in line: with the &C.

cities.
