and that already people were afraid of
the rebels around Apia.
The admiral replied that he must be
governed in his actions by a conviction
of his duty and not by his fears. That in
his proclamation he meant exactly what
and what he had proclaimed he would
do. The fact that with all his CORE
spondence and protests TO the admiral
the German Consul did not consider it
necessary TO forward a copy of his coun-
ter proclamation TO the admiral had not
increased the good feeling between the
admiral and the Consul. Never before by
official had the admiral been treated
in such an uncourteous and insulting
manner. In conclusion the admiral said
he did not intend to be bulldozed by any
German Consul and he didn't intend TO
lose any sleep over the matter.

The stranxeness of Truth.

Thirty-five years ago 4 bullet from q
Union soldiers gun killed man near
Savannah, Andrew County, Mo-. and
that bullet was taken from stick of
wood In Council Bluffs yesterday by
a person who saw the killing.
Edmund Thompson is u negro who
has lived here for eight years, and, hav.
ing worked for various people at sun
dry jobs, is known to quite number
Of people. He is an ex-slave. Before
the civil war he was owned by Charles
Mckinley, whose plantation was near
Savannah, Mo. Rev. William Ford,
young minister, lived on the place and
when hostilities commenced, Joined the
rebel army. He was severely wound
ed and came to recuperate. A Union
scouting party saw him near the plan
taticn one day, stood him up against
tree and pulling his hat over his eyes
shot him.
Thompson was near by, in a hay
stack, where the soldiers were unable
to see him. After they had gone away
he went to the tree. picked up the body
and took 1t to the house Of his master.
Then, returning to the tree, an ash, he
marked the spot where the bullet had
entered after passing through the min
ister's body, by engraving his initials
deeply in the wood.
Yesterday Thompson, was carrying
in some wood for restaurant on
Broadway. The bark was partly of
one stick and when he looked at II more
closely he saw the letters ''E. L" crude
ly carved thereon. He made inquiries
and learned that the wood had come
from Missouri, and from Andrew coun-
ty. Then he took his jack-knife and
cut into the wood. He found q large
bullet imbedded there over an inch.

ment Of weod brought to the city re-
Gently and of which the supply pur-
chased by the restaurant is part, has
given the Information that it was cut

BRITISH FORCES WIN.
BOERS MEET HEAVY REVERSE
AT BELMONT.
Both Sides Suffer Big Losses III Killed,
Wounded and Missing British Slight
ly Superior to EneIr- in Numbers -
Forty Beers Taken Prisoners.

| \ A British victory in which the imperial
army lost 225 officers and men i'll killed,
wounded and missing is the first result Of
the beginning of the forward movement
in South Africa Gen. Methuen'S col
umn, advancing 10 the relief of hlmber-
ley, encountered n strong force of Beers
near Belmont and drove them from their
position after a fierce battle lasting many
| hours.
The official report to the war office
states that the republics forces were
routed, but gives no estimate OF the
Boer losses. On the British side three
officers and iifty-tive men were killed,
twenty one officers and lbs men wound
ed, while eighteen of the rank and file
are listed as missing. Gen. Methuen
| claims that the enemy carried away
large numbers of dead and wounded i'll
the retreat. Forty prisoners were taken
| by the imperial forces.
The fighting appears to have been al
most a repetition of the battle of Glands
laagte. A dispatch of the previous day
estimated that the Beers in shat vicinity
numbered 1000 and that they had five
guns, and, judging from the absence of
any statement to the contrary in the Off
cial report, it is believed that the British
were slightly superior in numbers TO the
enemy.
The Beers had chosen 4 position with
their customary skill and were strongly
intrenched. The British were obliged to
carry three ridges in succession. Appar-
emily the guards bore the brunt in carry
ing the last ridge by bayonet charge
OF ifS IafanInrS had hnnn shaken
with shrapnel. Nothing is said as to
whether the positions SO gained were
held. and the destruction of ammunition
seems to indicate that the contrary was
the case.
While Gen. Methuen can be congratu-
lated upon a brilliant victory, it is again
ut the cost of heavy loss of officers and
men.
The secretary of war in London has
received the following dispatch, through
Gen. Forester Walker, from Gen. Me
thuen:
ATTACKED the enemy at daybreak. He
was in n strong position. Three ridges
were carried in succession, the last at
tack being covered by shrapnel. lnfan-
try behaved splendidly and received sup
port from the naval brigade and artillery.
The enemy fought with courage and skill.
Had l attacked later l should have had
far heavier loss. Our victory was COM
plete. Have taken forty prisoners. Am
burying good number of the Beers, but
the greater part of the cnemy's killed and
wounded We're removed by their COM
rades. Have captured large number of
horses and cows and destroyed large
quantity Of ammunition"

The KhaIifa Killed in Battle,

A dispatch from Cairo says: Lord CrO-
mer, the British minister here, has received
the following dispatch from Gen. Kitch-
ener:
"Wingate's force came up with the khal-
:fa's force seven miles southeast of Godid
and attacked it. After sharp fight he
took the position. The khalifa. who was
surrounded by strong bodyguard of
emirs, was killed, and all the principal
emirs were killed or captured except Os-
man Digna, who escaped"
The Deryishers were utterly defeated,
their whole camp was taken and thousands
surrendered. A large number of women,
children and cattle also fell into the hands
of the Anglo Egyptian forces.
