Looting is being carried on by the Rus

New York, Aug. 25.-Lord Roberts has

ton west of Machadodorp, where the bulk

English guns silenced the Beers, but
when the firing ceased and the pickets
were being placed for the night by some
mistake two companies of the Liverpool
regiment advanced 1900 yards into hol-
low out of sight of the main body, where
they were surrounded by the Beers and

Death Sentence Executed.
London, Aug. 25.-Lieut. Cordua, the
Boer officer convicted by court-martial
as one of the ringleaders in the conspira-
cy to abduct Lord Roberts and to kill
leading British officers, was executed at
Pretoria late yesterday afternoon. Lord
Roberts, to whom the verdict and SEN
tence of the court had been referred,
approved it and the execution followed
within a few hours.
COrdua was one of a0dozen men i'm
plicated in the conspiracy. The plan
was to enter the quarters of the leading
British officers in Pretoria at a signal,
and to kill all but LORD Roberts. who
was to be carried by relays of horses to
the nearest Boer camp.
At his trial COrdua asserted that he
was drunk when he joined the conspira-
cy. and that he had been prompted by a
British secret-service agent.
Met Death Brave1y.
Cordua walked fearlessly to the garden
behind the jail. At his own request he
was not bound and sat in chair with
folded arms. He told Capt. Barchard,
was ready, and ten bullets struck him.
The body was buried near the spot where
the lieutenant fell.
DR.. Leyds and the Boer ENJOYS have
sent from st. Petersburg to Lord Sails
bury strong protest against the latest
proclamations Of Lord Roberts. main
tanning that they violate every sense OF
right and all the principles of interna-
tIonal law.

lowing dispatch from Minister Conger,
received this morning, dated Taku, Au-
gust p:

government encountered yet. Several
ministers Of the tsung Ii yamen reported
in the city and are expected to appear

the imperial palace, leaving it practically
vacant Two thousand Germans arrived
today"
This dispatch is undated. but from the
fact that it mentions the arrival of a
German force at Pekin, which has NOT
yet been reported from any other quar-
ter. it is presumed to be of very recent
origin.

thick on the boulevard through Pelham
Bay park from Pelham manor to City

there, as they attacked the horses in
swarms, and several runaways were the
result.
The mosquitoes appeared with thun-
der shower this afternoon. and since
then sound residents have been doctor

The japanese have been landing ma
rines for three days, not only without
provocatiOn, but against the protest of

serve perfect order. There are 800 ma
rineS landing today.
The excitement is intense and thouS-

The officials, with scores of merchants
have visited the American consulate
pleading with the consul to intercede for
the withdrawal of the marines. otherwise
they declare, it will be impossible to pre-
serve order.
