District Attorney Burnett Tells OF
His Visit to Washington.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-United States
District Attorney Burnett returned today
from Washington where he conferred with
Secretary Root and Attorney General
Criggs as to the future action TO be taken
by the Government in regard to NeeIy's
extradition. General Burnett said that he
had no intimation that NeeIy's counsel
would attempt to hamper the Government
in proceeding in accord with Judge La
combe's decision by suing out writ of
haDeas corpus. He was not at all sure,
he added, that such step, If taken, would
be of any good to Neely.
The Government is honestly and earn
estIy desirous," said the District Attorney,
@of assuring by every legal means in its
power the return of Neely to Havana, in
order that he may be tried there for the
crimes with which he is charged.
As TO the action which the Goyernnent
viii take. General Burnett said that the
suggestions in Judge Lacombe's decision
would be followed. The criminal charge
of bringing embeZzled funds into the coun-
try, examination upon which is still pend
ing before Commissioner Shields, will be
discontinued In the civil suit for wrong
ful conversion, the order OF arrest against
Neely will be vacated, but the suit viii be
pushed to q judgment.

Darlington Arrives Too Late.

LONDON, Aug 9-The War Office has
received the following important cable
from Lord Roberts, telling of successful
movement of the Boer general, De Wet,
across the Vaal and of the probable cap
ture by the Beers of the garrison at Glands
River:
Pretoria, Aug. S.-An escaped pris-
oner yesterday morning informed
Kitchener that De Wet had crossed the
Faal- Shortly afterward guns were
heard which I think must have been
Methuen's, I having directed him to
take up a position between Potchef-
strooin and Lindigul where he should
have been able 10 intercept the enemy
who crossed at De Vets Drift
Kitchener, with the cavalry and mount
ed infantry, is crossing.
Hunter reports that he has taken
altogether 4,140 prisoners who are on
their way from Cape Town for Ceylon.
Two OF the three guns ne captured be-
longed to the Royal Horse Artillery
-Four thousand horses were taken and
ten wagons Of ammunition. One hun
dred and ninety five thousand rounds
Of ammunition destroyed
The garrison at Glands River,
which l fear has been captured, con
sisted of 40 bushmen and 100 Rhode
slams. hoped Darlington would be in
time to withdraw the garrison, but De-
larey, hearing OF Hamiiton's approach,
hurried westward and surrounded the
garrison before Darlington arrived.
''Methuen reports that he engaged
part Of De Vets force yesterday morn
ing near VeDterskroom and drove of
the enemy from a succession Of hills
which they held obstinateIy We had
seven killed.
Lord Roberts despatch is received every
where with disappointment which almost
amounts to CONSERVATION. The feeling re-
Gently SO prevalent that the war was pro
crossing rapidly to a satisfactory close
gives way to one not nearly so fattering
to Lord Roberts and his armies
The success Of General De Wet in cross
ing the vaal is regarded as most impor-
tant. 1t disposes OF all suggestions that
he is ready to surrender and unable to
fight further
The probable surrender OF the garrison
at Glands River. which is not a serious
military reverse as far as the Importance
of the garrison is concerned, is yet the
cause of much sorrow and disappointment
Lord Roberts last report was that the
garrison would probably be saved and Inn
plictt confidence was placed in it.
The effect of the South African news
may be inferred by slump in the markets
today. Consols declined SIS Immediately.
and the general security list was badly
affected. American stocks suffered with
the remainder of the market to the extent
of one-quarter 10 one-half.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9,-Lieut. Col John
W. Cious, judge advocate general of the
Department of the East, who is acquainted
with Count von Waldersee. said of him
today:
'.Waldersee is one of the great command
ers of the world. He has all the military
science of a German army Officer, coupled
with the practical training for which our
own officers are famous.
In Germany officers are. selected for
high commands entirely on their merit
Eeearse he was considered the best man
fer the place he was chosen as the sue
eesso, of Won Moltke as chief CT the gen.
eral staff, the highest stattan in the Ger
man army except that OF coElmander-in-
chief which is held by the Emperor
4 consider Won Waldersee The equal of
Roberts as a commander AMI the best
possible chief Of the allied forces. One
reason that makes him especially well
fitted for the work is that he speaks Ger
man, English, and French. and therefore
can give his orders in the language that,
will be understood by the commanders un-
der him, preventing all misunderstanding.
