LEFT THE TRANSVAAL.
a PitiabIe Scene at the Capetown Rail-
way station.

London. Aug. 30.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
A pftiable scene was witnessed at
the railway station to-day on the ar
rival from johannesburg of $50 child
rem, whose parents are too poor to
come themselves. 1t is estimated that
$1,000 people have left the Transvaal
since the crisis began.
In the house of the assembly to-day
the government added that it was con-
sidering a. proposal to afford greater
facilities for women and children to
leave johannesburg. Bechuanaland is
in a state of ferment owing to the fear
of Boer raid. Colonel Baden Powells
forces there are wholly inadequate to
protect such an extended frontier and
the Beers appear to be quietly concen-
trating in the western part of the
Transvaal.

RUssO-JAPANEsE TROUBLE.
s"id TO Have Grown out of Russia's
Demands as to Korea.

London, Nov. 13.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says the differences be-
tween Russia and Japan have been accen-
tuated by Japan's refusal to grant Russia
1oothold on the sea front of Massampo
harbor, Korea.
careful inquiries made by the Associated
Press reveal nothing extant in diplomatic
circles here to justify the aIarmist view
taken by section of the press regarding
the situation in the Far East
Ihat such a serious denouement is so
close at hand as is indicated by advices
from Shanghai during the last twenty-four
houfs, Is regarded as incredible. For a
tong time it has been known here-and it
was asserted in Associated Press dis
patcheS two months ago-that China and
Japan were closely allied. but neither
British nor American diplomatists in Lon
don believe that this alliance is of an
offensive nature.
AT any rate, it can be asserted positively
that II Japan and China contemplate ag-
gTessive action against Russia Lord Sails
bury is not aware of their intention and
IL is scarcely probable that those Powers
would decide upon any definite course
without at least consulting Great Britain,
Who' IN the nature of things, would be
their ally. whether active or passive.
The action of the United States govern
ment in requesting assurances from for
eign governments regarding the ''open
door policy in China has created intense
satisfaction in their official circles.
Lord salisbury, according to a British
official, has gladly acquiesced in this step
on the part of the United States, which
is regarded as most potent evidence that
the United States recognize the impossi-
bility of conducting their foreign affairs
without the cooperation of other nations,
and as the first practical earnest of their
desire to conduct Eastern negotiations in
concert with European governments.

CAUSE OF THE SURRENDER.
Father Matthews Tells of the Cap
ture of British Troops.

ture of British Troops.
Lorenzo Marquee, Delagoa Bay. Thurs
day, Nov. 9.-Father Matthews, who has
arrived here from Pretoria, says with ref
erence TO the surrender OF the Irish Fus-
Ulcers and the Gloucestenahire troops at
Nicholson's Mex, that after the mules
stampeded the force got hard pressed by
the enemy. They would have held out,
however but some subordinate, without
instructions hoisted flag of truce on his
own responsibility. Nothing then remain
ed but to surrender.
1--WE were sent out" says Father Matth-
ews. ito occupy position with the object
of preventing two Boer forces from join
ing. We started at $3.50 o'clock Sunday
evening. marched ten miles and got to the
hill about l O'Clock Monday morning.
THE first mishaD was that the noun
tain battery stampeded and scattered the
whole lot of mules. We formed up again
and gained the top of the hill. The guns
were gone, but not all the ammunition. l
do not know what stampeded the mules.
They knocked me down. 1t was pitch
dark.
I'VE had one hours Sleep. Tie firing
began just after daybreak, but was some
what slack for a time. Finally the Beers
crept around and then the firing became
furious. Our men made a breastwork of
stones.
soon after 70 o'clock noon, there was a
general cry of Cease fire; but our fellows
would not stop firing. Maj. Adye came
up and confirmed the order and then the
bugle sounded cease firep
In our locality there was a rumor that
q white flag was raised by young officer
who thought his batch of ten men were the
sole survivors, but we were nine hundred
alive, having started with perhaps 900.
l think many of the batterymen escaped.
Our officers and men were furious at
the surrender The Beers did not seem to
be in great number on the spot, but
heard that the main body had galloped
off Our men had to give up their arms
and the officers were sent to Commandant
Steenekamp. The officers then ordered
the men to fall in.
1.-THE officers were taken away from the
men and sent to Gen. Joubert the same
day, travelling in mule wagons and sleep~
ing that night in some stores on the way.
The next morning they took a train at
Washbank for Pretoria. They are very
we'll treated, and so have heard are the
men.
There has been no unpleasantness at
Pretoria. The officers are in a school
building and are allowed to walk as thev
please in the grounds.
The surrender, in my judgment, was
great blunder caused by misunderstand-
ing. Maj Adye was much put out The
white flag was not hoisted by the Irish
Fusilleers"

WHAT ADMIRAL DEWEY DID.
He and His Wife Had Breakfast, a
walk and Luncheon.

New York, Nov. 13.-Admiral Dewey and
his wife breakfasied to-day at $50
O'Clock in their apartments at the Waldorf
Astoria, and two hours later left the hotel
for a walk.
In compliance with the request made by
the Admiral on Saturday, he was not mo-
Tested in any way, and the enthusiastic
persons, who recognized him on Fifth ave-
nue., contented themselves with saluting
and passing on. The Admiral returned all
salutes by raising his hat and Mrs. Dewey
bowed.
The coupled walked up Fifth avenue to
the plaza, and through Central Park to
Sixty-fourth street. At that point they
were confronted by a group of nurse girls
with their charges, and turned back, leav-
ing the park by the Sixth avenue entrance
On their way up Fifth avenue, Admiral
and Mrs Dewey met Richard Croker at
Fifty-seventh street. Mr.. Croker was
driving, and he raised his hat and pulled
to the curb when he recognized the Ad-
miral. Mr.. Croker started TO dismount
from his wagon, but the Admiral stopped
him, and reached up to shake his hands.
Then he introduced Mrs. Dewey, and the
party stopped for a moment to converse.
Then Mr.. Croker drove away, and the
Admiral and his bride continued their
walk.
They returned to the hotel about 80
o'clock, and had luncheon in their rooms.
Many persons sent cards to them, but no
visitors were admitted. Late in the after
noon Admiral and Mrs. Dewey left the
hotel in a carriage for a drive.
