 ROBERTS THINKS THE END IS NEAR
Natal Volunteers Have Been DiS-
 missed by Butler.
DIVISION 10 BE WITHDRAWN
These Troops Will be Sent to China and Forces in India Will Ge Next-The Correspondents
 Remain Silent

London, June 1SI-4 a. m)-There are some indications that Lord Roberts con- sders the wars end in South Africa not far distant. One of these is the fact that the Natal volunteers who had secured serv- ice were dismissed by Sir Redvers Butler Saturday. They were cheered as they left camp.
 Another indication is the report in au- thoritatively informed military circles in London that a complete division of regu- lars is to be withdrawn from General Bull ler's army and embarked at Durban for China.
 The troops drawn from India will proba- bly go next.
 Lord Roberts let them go without tele- graphing. The correspondents at head quarters are, as they have been for ten days silent.
 Unofficial intelligence from Machadodorp via Lourenzo Marques is to the effect that the British troops are near Middleburg. The Boer narrative of the fighting east of Pretoria posted on bulletin board outside

of President Kruger's car at Machadodorp ran thus:
 1.-The commanders east of Pretoria in the direction of Bronkorst Spruit are com
 pelled to retire after fierce stand of more
 than two days in a way that won admira- ton of the acting commandant general. The short range rifle fire was very hot and for part of the second day, especially late in the afternoon, the enemy fought at distance of 100 yards Our loss cannot yet | be given. The acting commandant general only mentions Field Colonel John Van l Buren killed. He was one of the pluckiest men in the field.
 Information is again to hand regarding | the miserable condition of the enemys | troops that have penetrated to Johannes burg and Pretoria They continually con- plain of the lack of food. Several BritS,h soldiers have died in the streets of Pre- toria of exhaustion and starvation Along the roads lie the corpses of horses and

CHIEF AUSTIN ON
 A SUNDAY RAMPAGE
With a Detachment of Officers He Pays Several "social' Calls With Inter-
 esting Results.

Chief Austin was on a rampage yester- day, and with a detachment of officers made several raids and captured a number of men charged with gambling, and a quan- tty of "paraphernalia.'
 A call was given the "Olivette Club" cor her of Third avenue and Twentieth street, but there was nothing to disturb the quiet of the Sabbath day and a blank was reg istered.
 The next call was made on the rooms over the Dude saloon," at the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street, Here a chilly welcome awaited the officers, and the chief was compelled to resort to his tomahawk to effect an entrance. Once in- side the unlucky number-thirteen-was in evidence in the shape of as many men who pleaded ignorance of any wrong doing, but all were put under bond for their appear ance before Judge Feagin this morning.
 A call at the "Southside Reading Club" added six to the list of accused, and a quantity of cards, chips and other "neces- sares."
 Violators of the Sunday liquor law were not forgotten, and several arrests were made. Johnson Umbers the negro barber whose shop is situated in Second avenue between Twenty-irst and Twenty second streets next to Wheelers saloon, was ar rested on the charge of conducting a sa- ioon annex and violating the revenue law, and Wheelers bartender was also placed under bond.
 J. B. Williams white, and J. D. Mosely, colored, were also charged with Sunday selling and placed under bond.

DESPERATE NEGRO
 CLEVERLY CAUGHT
Arrested on Suspicion and Proved TO Have Been Wanted on a Serious
 Charge.

A clever capture of a desperate negro was made by Officer Byers of the police department yesterday morning, although at the time he did not know that the negro was wanted on so serious a charge as has since developed.
 On Saturday night Deputy Sheriff Hol- lingsworth, who is stationed at Johns, small station on the Birmingham Mineral Railroad, a few miles south of the city, arrested a negro and was taking him to the depot when the prisoner made at tempt to escape. In the struggle the off, cer fell to the ground, but struck the negro over the eye. infiicting an ugly wound. Not satisfied, the negro wrested Hollings- worths pistol away from him and shot him through the shoulder, breaking the collar bone He then doffed his greasy cap and donning the officers hat made off carrying the deputys pistol, 45-calibre Colts. The matter was reported to Sheriff OBrien, and yesterday morning a posse was sent down to look for the negro, who was thought to be in the vicinity. The negro could not be located and the search was given up.
 About 10 o'clock Officer Byers, who Knew nothing or the JOhnS s afa1r, was
 walking along Twenty-fourth street and
 was attracted by a desperate looking
 negro A fresh wound over his eye es-
 pecially aroused the officers attention,
 and the negro was told to hold up. h.
 stead he quickened his pace and when
 again commanded to halt, reached for his
 gun, but Officer Byers was too quick and
 had him covered before he was aware. The negro was taken to police head quarters and 45-caliber Colts revolver was found on him. He gave his name as Bud Smith and stated that the wound over his eye was produced by fall from a train. The report of the shooting of Deputy Hollingsworth reached police headquarters and it was at once sug- gested that Smith was the man wanted The sheriffs department was notified and Deputy Waldrop was sent to police head quarters and identified the hat and the pistol taken from the negro as the prop erty of Deputy Hollingsworth, which left no doubt of the negro's guilt.
 Hollingsworth is seriously wounded and although he was suffering considerable pain yesterday, it is thought that he will recover.

Other Measures to be Adopted

Failing this effort, resort will be speedily had to other measures, if in the meantime word is not received from some one in au- thority in China Just what course will be followed is not yet determined. Admiral Remey at Manila is probably too far away from the scene; the run to Taku would occupy weeks time. It is probable that the nearest United States consul to Taku who is still within reach of the cables will be wired instructions to charter a speedy merchant steamer at once to run to Taku with the departments message. Nagasld Japan, is the nearest port, but because the wires from that point to the United States cross Siberia and Europe overland, per haps the best route would be via Shanghai and the system of British cables via India and the Red and Mediterranean Seas.
 Meanwhile, if the communications re- main interrupted with Taku it is certain that a message will be ordered sent at once to Manila to dispatch more naval force or troops on transports to reinforce Admiral Kempff and extend aid to the international relief column which, it is beginning to be feared, is itself in sore need of help
 General Macarthur probably would re- quire few days to prepare military ex- petition, owing to the individuality of reducing his present small garrison in Manila. Even Admiral Remey may be obliged to delay sending ships owing to the absence of the smaller craft suitable for such service is required on scouting duty among the islands of the archipelago.
 The State Department today receive nu- merous telegrams from relatives and friends of Americans in Northern China and in Pekin, praying for news touching the welfare of their firneds MT Ledyard of Detroit, father of the wife of the Ger man Ambassador at Pekin, reported to have been killed by the Boxers, was one of the most anxious of these inquirers and Ex-Secretary Alger was another, each in- timating willingness to meet any ex- penses that might be involved in an order from the department to some responsible officials near the scene of trouble to se- cure information by any means in their power.

DEPARTMENT ANXIOUS
Third Day Passes Without Line of
 Official News

Washington, June 1.-The third day from any official source respecting the critical situation in China. Inquiries of the cable companies showed that not only were the communications by wire with Pekin, Taku, Tien Tsin and all northern China suspended, but the notices conveyed little encouragement fer the hope that they would be soon re-opened. The war department early in the day received the following message from the Western Un- ion headquarters at New York:
 ''The only news from the east today is that a notice of the interruption of the great northern line between Blagowest- chensk and Tschita which cuts off all com muication with China and Japan via that route.
 The line referred to is a land wire run ming out of Pekin to the north and con- meeting with the Russians Siberian sys- tenn.
 The Navy Department during the day made an effort to reach Rear Admiral Kempff on his flagship Newark at the Taku forts at the mouth of the Poi-Ho River. A cablegram was addressed to the commanders of the United States Steam- ship Yorktown at Che Foo, the nearest treaty port to Taku, on the northern side of the Shan Tung peninsula, repeating the message to Admiral Kempff last Thurs day, inquiring as to his situation, the com mands at Pekin at last report and into his need for more men and ships, and direct ing the commander to take the message at once to Taku and return with the an swer. The department is now pretty well assured that the original message never reached Admiral Kempff. From Che Foo to Taku is only a single days run for the Yorktown, so that an answer from Ad- miral Kempff should be received by Mon- day night if Che Foo can be reached to- 1aV
