following dispatch has been received at
the war office from Lord Roberts:
Bloemfontein. Monday, March 19.-I
have received the following reply to my
telegram of March II, to the presidents
of the Free State and South African re-
public: Your Excellency's telegram
reached me yesterday. 1 assure you
nothing would grieve me more than
that my burgherS should make them
selves guilty of a deed such as that laid
to their charge by you. I am, however
glad to say that you must have been
mistaken. I have made personal in
quiry of General Delaary, who was in
command of our burghers at the place
mentioned by you He denies entirely
that our burgherS acted as stated by
you, but he says that on Saturday, the
date being illegible, the British troops
when they were about fifty yards from
our position, put up their hands as well
as a white fiag.-Xec-llSt at the same tins
your cannon bombarded the said troops,
with the result that COmmandant De
Beer was wounded. Yesterday morning
the head conmandant wrote in his ac-
count of the battle as follows: The SOL

then fired at by the English cannon

This time Dr. Leyds has, as we may
without impropriety assume, put in cir

German ambassador at Washington
and the American consul at Pretoria,
are cOncOcting a little scheme of Ger

desperate straits the enemies of this

government which has formally declin-

Germany to dictate the course of Lord

Honolulu's Boxer Troubles.

Sam Broad, the young Hawaiian who
has started the hoodlum crusade against
the Boxers, appeared in the Police Court
this morning on the charge of assault and
battery on a Chinaman near Palama
chapel, Thursday night. His case was
continued until tomorrow at the request Of
his attorney, J. L. Kaulukou.
Later on Kane, hard working Hawai-.
ian lad employed at the Foundry, was
called up on the same charge 1t appeared
from the testimony that the Chinaman
upon being struck by Broad, began to
throw stones in all directions. Kane was
struck and his warning to the Chinaman
to desist not being needed, he hit the fell
low to make him stop.
Judge Wilcox discharged Kane stating
that, when Chinaman began to throw
stones promiscuously, It was time someone
stopped him.
