BRITISH PURSUING THE FLEEING BOERS Retired Before the Guns of Hut
 ton and French. THE NIGHT WAS TERRIBLE Heavy Rain and East Wind Made the Bivouac Uncomfortable Off,
 cer Died from Exposure
 Young Dewet Surrendered
THE NIGHT WAS TERRIBLE

London. July 27 d1:59 D. m.)-The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts:
 French and Hutton continued the pur- suit on July 25. The former crossed On- plants river and from the higher point on position, the enemy retiring in great dis order Night was closing in the rain was falling in torrents and so it was impossible to follow. The night was terrible. In addf- ton to the rain a strong east wind made the bivouac most uncomfortable. One off, cer I regret to say, died of exposure, and the mortality among the mules and oxen was great.
 "Hutter has occupied Fourierburg and so far as I know did not suffer loss. He found Mrs Steyn, wife of the ex-president, and several of our men whom Dewet had captured at different times and whom he was unable to send to Machadodorp.
 "The enemy in the Bethlehem hills are now closed in upon. Basutoland is closed to them. 'Harrismith is the only line open, and it will not be easy for them to reach there with guns and wagons.
 "Broadwood is still watching Christian Dewet, who has taken up position on hills near Peitsburg, about seven miles south of the Vaal
 "P. Dewet, a younger brother of Christi ian, surrendered at Kroonstad yesterday.
 Butler reports that the railway was opened to Heidelburg yesterday, giving us through communication to Natal"

CoPLAN RETURNS
Causes Mild Sensation By Walking
 Into Court

David CopIan. who failed to appear in the Inferior Criminal Court d few days ago to answer to the charges docketed against him. caused mild sensation yesterday morning by walking into the court room as coolly as if nothing had happened. It will be remembered that there are about dozen charges against Coplan of receiving and concealing stolen property, and that when he failed to appear at his preliminary hearing one of his bondsmen who had bound himself in the sum of $1,6O0 for Cop lan's appearance, offered a reward of $10O for his re-arrest.
 No one seems to have had any idea as to Coplan's whereabouts during his absence, and this will in all probability remain a mystery.
 Dick Borck the Southside saloonkeeper, who was arrested at the same time and on the same charge as Coplan, namely. receiv- ing and disposing of property alleged to have been stolen by James Grant from Ala bama Great Southern cars, was tried yes- terday morning on one of the charges against him and fined. Borck has about eleven more charges to answer to yet

EMPEROR WILLIAM PROUD OF HIS MEN Says Every German Should be
 Filled With Pride. BIDS TROOPS GOD SPEED Tells Them to Use Their Weapons So That China Willfor Many Years
 Look Askance at Any
 German
BIDS TROOPS GOD SPEED

Berlin, July 27.-The Lolsal Anzeiger says the Emperor, when addressing the troops at Bremerhaven before they sailed for Chi na, referred to the responsibilities which had sprung up for the German Empire abroad during the last decade. Germanys troops, he said, must now show in the face of the enemy whether their tendencies-the tendencies which German military methods had followed-were right. Their comrades of the marine had already proved that the training and principles upon which that arm of the forces had been built up were right ones and now it was for the troops to do the same.
 Every German has been filled with pride" continued His Majesty, ito learn that the highest praise bestowed upon Ger man warriors has come from the mouths of foreign leaders, The task before you is great one. That a. people like the Chi nese should cast to the winds international rights a thousand years old and treat with seorn the sancfty of an Ambassador and the rights of hospitality in a manner so horrible is unprecedented in the history of the world. Every civilization not founded on Christianity is sure to be brought to naught
 So l send you out. May you all prove your German efficiency, devotion and bravery. Bear joyfully all discomfort and uphold the honor and glory of our arms You must set an example of discipline self domination and self control
 If you close with the enemy, remem- Der this: Spare nobody. Make no prison- CTS. Use your weapons so that for a thousand years hence no Chinaman will dare look asltance at any German. Open the way for civilization once for all.''
 The address concluded as follows:
 The blessings of the Lord be with you. The prayers of the whole people will ac- company you in all your ways My best wishes for yourselves and for the success of your arms will ever follow you.
 Give proofs of your courage, no matter where. May the blessing of God rest on your banners: and may He vohchsafe to you to find path for Christianity in that far off country.
 For this you have pledged yourselves to make your oath to the colors. I wish you Godspeed Adieu, my comrades"
 The Lokal Anziegers report of the speech differs from the semi-official reports, nota- ply in respect to the reference to sparing none and taking no prisoners when coming in close quarters with the enemy; but the correspondent of the Associated Press was assured this evening by perfectly respon- sible person who heard the speech that the Lokal Anzeger's report is correct.
