MAIL POUCH ROBBED.


Robbers Get 42S,OlO I'm Checks,
Drafts cnd Cash.
New York, Aug. 5.-The Journal and
Advertiser says: One Of three leather
mail pouches in transit from the CEN
trail station to station o, at Fifth ave-
nue. and Thirteenth street, was robbed
on Thursday of more than $4,000 in
checks, drafts and cash. The bags
took the usual course by which the
mail is sent up town from this Station.
They were carried by postofice en-
ployes to the Sixth avenue station Of
the elevated railway, when they were
placed on the platform to await a cer-
tain train. During the wait there 10
no one to watch them, although the
station porter is supposed to keep an
eye on them. They were taken to the
Fourteenth street station and thrown
off, where they remained till the men
from the substation carried them of.
When they reached the station it was
found there was big slit in one Of
the bags and nearly all the mail in the
bag extracted. The robbers will profit
little by their daring act as payment
on the checks and drafts has been
stopped. >

WAR IS NEAR AN END.
Conflict I'm South Africa Will Soon
Close.


Close.
London, Aug. 4.-The war in South
Africa is clearly approaching an end.
Hunter has reported that he will have
fully 1000 persons among the hills
south Of Bethlehem, and that Olivier
alone has succeeded in breaking away
toward Harrismith with a thousand
men. Forty thousand British troops
ought to be able to catch that COM
mando, with it's five guns. The Free
State forces now consist of two COL
umns of 1000 men each, under Dewet
and Olivier, several hundred miles
apart and enveloped with British
troops, and when these surrender the
Transvaal Beers will not have any
justification for holding out, especially
when the campaign has become one
of intolerahle suffering on both sides.
The Beers are fighting in rags and
barefoot and aree suffering from hung
er, cold and every conceivable priva-
ton. The British troops are also badly
clothed and fed, owing to the wretched
work of the transport service.
Both Said to BE Weakening.
The. Pretoria, correspondent Of the
Daily Mail, telegraphing Wednesday,
says: Gen. Botha is weakening. He
has sent messenger to Lord Roberts
asking for confirmation of the report
of the surrender Of Gen. Prinsloo, and
requesting permission to communicate
with Gen. Christian Dewet.
Roasted the Government.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt made
a speech against the government in the
house of commons and displayed q
semblance of his old-time fighting
form. He referred to the estimate Of
$15.000000 for operations in China, and
intimated that the ultimate cost Of
British operations in that quarter
might exceed that in South Africa. He
also assumed that the war in South
Africa would cost fully $460,00O,0 900, and
commented on the fact that consols
which used to stand at lis had gone
below par. He even ventured to pre-
dict that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, if
he were borrowing, would emulate Mr..
Goschen's achievement in sending
them down to IS.
This speech was the most effective
attack which has yet been made on
the government. The war has not been
we'll financed. A tax of a penny a
pound on sugar would have yielded
more revenue than the new schedule Of
increased taxes imposed by Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach at the expense Of payers
of income dues and other direct taxes.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Another move
was made yesterday in the diplomatic
situation by the return of an evasive
answer by Ii Hung Chang to Secre-
tary Hays peremptory demand Of Aug.
l to be put in communication with the
foreign ministers at Picking. LIS an
swer is not final and leaves the mat

some further information bearing or.
the question of responsibility
For FektnG Conditions
in the statement that the commander
of the Chinese troops. by inference an.
swerable to the Chinese government,
ordered the Paoting massacre. 1t is
learned here that Ii Ping Hong, the
commander referred to is a civil officer
and we'll known to the Chinese officials
abroad as one Of the most rabid anti
foreign leaders in China. He is close
friend of Prince Tuan, and the asso-
citation of these two in Peking affairs
with power enough behind them to
cause the ignominious death Of two
high officials is regarded here as bad
sign. simultaneously with Mr.. Good

ly diplomatic message from Yuan

expected resistance offered to the Jap

military men here as forecasting a,
greater degree of opposition to the In

that the Chinese troops will furnish

London, Aug. 5.-According to spe:

Aug. 3. the advance column of the al
lies was reported there yesterday to
have reached a point thirty miles be-

other point corroborated this state

ures, has not begun.

The governor does not consider the sit
