The burning of Bulan occurred on May

driving out fifty men OF the Forty seventh
Volunteer Infantry who were garrisoning
the town. On account Of the overwhe I'M
ing numbers Of the enemy the Americans
were powerless to resist the work Of In

The large body OF rebels, after setting
fire TO the buildings killed many Of the
Spanish and Chinese residents. There was

CRoNJE'S PRISON SHIP.
The Transport Milwaukee Reaches
Halifax From 81. Helena.

HALIFAX. y. s, May S.-The Canadian
transport Milwaukee that conveyed Gen
eral Cronie. Colonel Schiel. and Geo Boer
prisoners, captured at Paardeberg. to st.
Helena, arrived in port at o'clock this
morning. after a voyage of twenty days
from st. Helena.
The Milwaukee had a smooth and une-
ventful passage to Halifax. Captain Web
ster, who is in command, says that Cronje,
who cannot speak English. was uncom-
municative on the way TO his island prison
and that he seldom made any use of an
Interpreter. Though, of course. regretful
at the disaster that befell him. he was by
no means utterly cast down nor without
hope Of some measure Of ultimate Boer
success.
Captain Webster says that the people liv-
ing on st. Helena ran up the provisions
they have on the island to famine prices
when the prisoners came, but the British
Government took measures against a cor
ner in the food supplies by sending in a
large quantity of stores.
