Pursue q Refreshing Foe.
LONDON, July 30.-Operations in

several thousand Beers, like General
Christian Dewet, has thus far eluded
Lord Roberts grasp.
General Eelarey is besieging General
Baden-Powen at Rustenburg in West

General Baden.Powell's assistance, un-
der Colonel Hickman, proved too weak
to be effective and was obliged to fall
back on Pretoria.

ton, one of the foremost Filipinos and
a man who stands near Aguinaldo,
denying emphatically the authenticity
OF the proclamation purporting to have

1899. in which the Philippine leader
instructed his followers to occupy the
house tops along the line which the
American soldiers should follow in en-.
tering Manila, and urging them to
pour oil and boiling water ON the SOL
diers. The alleged instructions further
melted the Filipinos to use spears,
which would leave the head OF the
weapon in tho body of the victim when
the shaft was withdrawn. and urged
other and varied forms Of torture OF
the American soldiers. Lopez's tele-
gram is addressed to MIR. Enrich and
reads:
"Boston, Mass, Oct. 12.-The proc.
