Secret Agents of Kruger Said to

Authorities.
Full Text of Kruger's Reply Now
in the Colonial Secretary's
Hands.

P1ETERMAR1TzBURG, Natal, Aug. e.
In connection with the rumor that there
are many Beers who are British SUBJ
Jects and who outwardly sympathize
with the British, while in reality they
are secret agents of President Kruger
Of the Transvaal republic, the Ipremier
of Natal declared that it was the inten-
ton Of the government to take steps to
detect and punish any British subjects
cooperating with the enemies of the
queen. It is alleged that much secret
information has been conveyed to Pres
ident Kruger and that even ambuscades
have been prepared for the British
troops in the event of war, by these
secret agents.
A force of police has been ordered to
Colenso, owing to the rumors of the in
tention Of the Beers to destroy the rail.
road bridge at that place.
CAPE Town, Aug. 24.-Although the
cabled summary of the counter propo-
sition of the Transvall government to
Great Britain's proposition for a joint
committee to inquire as to what effect
the reform franchise measures would
have on the Outlanders is probably in
complete, it undoubtedly gives the gen.
eral lines accurately.
The Mafeking horse regiment is mob
ilizing rapidly. Several hundred re-
cruits have arrived and been equipped
here and have joined Vivian's camp.
Every train is bringing fresh recruits.
It is rumored that 800 Beers have
formed lager on the border.

Several engagements With the Yaquis
Reported. -.
PoTrAM, Aug 81, via Nogales, Ariz.,
Aug. 24.-On Thursday General Torres
gave the. order to advance on the
Yaquis. Three engagements were
fought before the soldiers succeeded in
entering the stronghold. The Indians
met the government force first at
Vicam, but fell back. They rallied on
the outskirts of Pueblo, but were driven
in. The soldiers advanced in the form
of half moon and when they reached
Vicam it required desperate struggle
before the Indians were driven from
their stronghold. In the fight 2 Mexi-
cans were killed and 10 wounded.
Forty Indians Were Killed
and the number Of wounded is known
to have been heavy. The Yaquis re.
treated into the jungle to the southwark
and were followed by General Torres,
who overlook them again near Pottam.
The Indians numbered about 100. The
battle was fought on Aug. 10, and the
Mexicans had killed and 10 wounded
Twenty dead Indians were found in the
holes from which they fought.
The excessive heat is something awful
along the river. During the march Of
$50 men of the Eleventh regiment from
Batamano there were 10 deaths from
heat.

Cecil Rhodes Declares There Will Be No
Bloodshed in the Transvaal.
CAPE Town, Aug. Ain the Cape
assembly Cecil Rhodes, referring to the
Transvaal question, said:
"No, there will be no bloodshed.
President Kruger, like a sensible man,
will climb down. The less the Cape
Colony is concerned in the quarrel the
BETTER"
Later Mr.. Rhodes said it was certain
the Transvaal would become an Eng
lish speaking community and the uit-
landers, being vast majority, would
form a government in keeping with
their own ideas.
It is rumored here also that the Beers
intend to attempt coup to obtain
forcible possession of the ammunition
detained by the Portuguese.
