OLIVIER CAPTURED
WILL PROVE A SERIOUS BLOW TO
BOERS.
British Forces Beat Back the Beers
at WinburK-Boers Oppose Buller's
Fight Hard and Use Big Guns in
Country Where the Cavalry
Can't Operate-One Report Says
the Beers Lost Heavily During
Buffers Attack.

London, Aug. 29-The following dis
patch was sent to-day by Lord Rob-
erts, dated Belfast, Sunday:
Engaged the enemy the greater
part of the day over perinleter Of
nearly thirty miles. Littleton's divis-
ion and two brigades of cavalry, all
under Butler, operated southwest OF
Dalmanutha. French, with two brig
ades of cavalry, moved northwest OF
Belfast, driving the enemy to Le-
kenv1y, on the Belfast-Lydenburg
road. AS soon as French reached Le-
kenvly Pole-Carew advanced from
Belfast in support. The enemy in con-
siderable strength opposed Buffers and
Pole -Carew's advance. He brought
three Long Toms and many other
guns and pom -poms (quick-firing guns)
into action. The firing, until dark. was
hot and persistent. Butler hopes his
casualties will not exceed forty. Pole
Carew has not yet reported. The Boers
are making determined stand. They
have a large number of guns; the
country is difficult and we'll suited to
their attack and less accessible to cav
airy than we have hitherto worked
over"
Gen. Olivier Captured.
The war Office has received the fol-
lowing from Lord Roberts:
"The Beers have been beaten back by
Bruce Hamilton at Winburg. Gen.
Olivier has been captured"
The text of Lord Roberts dispatch
announcing the capture of Gen. Olivier
shows that three of Olivier's sons also
were captured in the attack which the
Beers made from three sides on Win
burg. Lord Roberts adds that Gen.
Olivier was "the moving spirit among
the Beers in the southeast portion OF
the Orange Colony during the war.
British Cnsualties Small.
Wiring from Belfast to-day Lord
Roberts says: "Our casualties Sunday
were wonderfully few considering the
heavy firing and the number of hours
we were engaged. Butler estimates his
at two killed and twenty-four woun-
ded. His troops had to bivouack
where they stopped after darkness fell
and accurate returns are as yet impos-
sible The casualties of the force ope-
rating north of Belfast were one killed
and thirty-four wounded"
Boers Lose Heavily.
During Gen. Buffers recent attack,
according to the Daily Nails cores
pondent at Lourenzo Marques, the
Beers lost heavily. Half of the gunners
of the Bethel commando were killed as
we'll as it's commander, Commandant
Won Dalwif, a cousin of Herr krupp.
"a council of war Of the Beers at
Machadodorp," says the correspondent,
"has decided against the advice OF
Commandant General Botha to return
to the original plan Of retiring on
Lydenberg." Former President Steyn
and Commandant Delarrey are report
ed to have had an interview with
Kruger last Saturday at Waterfall

LOOKS RATHER CROOKED.
WalcOtt Deliberately Quits in His
Fight With West.

"aAcOlt OcllUcFately HIN
Fight With West.
New York, Aug. 20. - The fight be-
tween Tommy West and Joe Walcott,
which was the main attraction at the
Twentieth Century club in Madison
Square Garden, ended in most pc
culiar manner last night. The bout
had gone eleven rounds very much in
Walcott's favor, as he had punished
West very badly about the body and
had him in a very weakened condition.
When the bell rang for the twelfth
round to the surprise of everybody
Walcott refused to go on, claiming that
he had injured his left arm. Referee
Charlie White. suspecting something
wrong, insisted on Walcott continuing,
but the negro refused. This left
White no other alternative but to de-
clare West the winner. There was
quite large sum of money invested
on West and the referee was outspoken
as to Walcott's action. He said:
"Walcott is not injured. He quit de-
liverately, and it is my candid opinion
that he was actuated in quitting by
some dishonest motive. I believe that
Walcott was encouraged to act as he
did by some person closely connected
with him."

story That King Humbert Meditats3
Turning 1t Over to the Hierarchy.
London, Aug. 29.-As a result OF the
outcry against the declaration of the
Osservatore Romano, says the Rome
correspondent of the Daily Express,
that the late King Humbert had med
itated giving up Rome to the hier.
archy, the clerical papers have been
instructed to publish a statement CIV
ing confirmation and details. Accord
ing to this account, King Humbert
some months before his death whote
to Cardinal Giuseppe Frisco, archbish-
op Of Naples, requesting that trust
worthy priest be sent to hear his con-
fession. A priest was sent but absolu-
tion was refused unless Humbert would
agree to ahdicate and give up Rome.
The king asked time to consider as he
was anxious to receive the sacrament,
and, according to the clerical version
"it was this communication to the
priest that induced the holy see to
grant Christian burial" King Hum
bert's letter to Cardinal Frisco will be
published.

WAR NOT DECLARED.
RUMOR REGARDING RUSSIA, JAPAN
AND GERMANY UNFOUNDED.
Made Upon Authority OF
the Highest Character Rumor
Had Caused Interesting Comment
Among Warrington Omcials-Re-
port Comes From Japanese
Sources That the Chinese Had
Rallied Their Forces and Were
Preparing for an Attack Upon the
Allies in PekfnG.

Washington, Aug. %. - Russia, Ger
many and Japan have not declared
war upon China either separately or in
concert. This statement is made upon
the authority of the highest character.
What those nations may do within the
next fortnight is a question which no
one in Washington is prepared to
answer. A brief dispatch from Chefu
conveying a rumor current there that
Russia, Germany and Japan had
Joined in a declaration Of war upon
China aroused some interesting COM
ment among Washington officials and
among diplomatic representatives Of
foreign governments resident here. In
neither official nor diplomatic circles,
however, was the rumor
Taken Seriously.
No information of such action has
reached either the department of state
or the legations Of the governments
primarily interested. That fact alone
is accepted in official circles as a suf-
dcient refutation Of the rumor. Late
in the day dispatch was received at
the Japanese legation from the foreign
office Of Japan conveying the latest
and most authoritative information of
the sitpation in and around Peking.
In measure the advices were of q
disquieting nature, as they indicated
that the Chinese had rallied their
forces and We're preparing for an
Attack Upon the Allies
in Picking. If it should prove that the
allied forces were besieged in Peking
It would account for the lack Of dis
patch from Gen. Chaffee. AS made
public by Minister Takahari, the dis
patch from the Japanese foreign Office
at Toxic is as follows:
IAN official telegram dated Peking,
Aug. IS. was received at Toxic from
Gen. Yamaguhi, commander of the
Japanese forces, to the following ef-
feet: The capital is now entirely
cleared of the enemy. A cavalry regi-
ment which had been at Wan Shau
Shan (where the empress dowager's
palace is located) reports that the Inn,
periai family, who had left Pelzing
Aug. H. started, after short rest at
Wan Shau Shan, for the west, and
were
Under the Escort
Of Gen. Ma and his troops, consisting
Of about 500 horsemen and twenty
carts. The Japanese forces occupied
the treasury department. in which
over 100000 taels in silver and a
large quantity of rice were found. An
other telegraph dispatch, dated Taku,
Aug. %, states that as the Chinese
troops and Boxers who had gathered
at Nan Yuen were about to attack the
forces at Peking, Japanese and Rus
sian cavalry were expected to encoun-
ter them on the Goth. The dispatch
further states that Chinese infantry,
some 1900 strong, with fifteen guns,
are advancing forward from Shan
Tung to make a rear attack on the
a1lies.'"

the Gold Seekers.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 2S.-For nearly
two weeks the 1900 residents of Coun-
Gil City, according to Nome advices,

gested ten days ago, but as he claims
he is in no condition to fight on that

TREATY WITH ECUADOR.
Commercial Treaty Advantageous to
the United States.

Commercial Treaty Advantageous to
the United States.
San Francisco, Aug. 29.-Gen. Archi-
bald ]. Sampson, United States minis
ter to Ecuador, has arrived here after
three years residence at Quito. He
saws that he has just concluded
reciprocity commercial treaty with the
Ecuadorean government decidedly ad-
vantageous to the United States.
Wine will be especially fostered under
the treaty. Wine is in excellent de-
mand and flour is s25 per 100 pounds.
This excessive price is due to the high
import duties and the fact that all
supplies have to be packed to the city
Of Quito over a trail 135 miles up into
the Andes and to an altitude of s10.-
600 feet.

Gilman, ILL.,. Aug. 29-Mrs. Wright

yesterday. During the morning when
she seemed in great danger from the
crowd the mayor ordered the saloons
closed. 1t was reported at first that

lEr,. ConKer Explains the Military
Situation.
Washington, Aug. 29.-After several
days intermissiOn in Chinese advices
the government yesterday received
two dispatches, presumably bringing
its advices up to the most recent date.
There are indications that the princi-
pal delays in the lines of commun1ca-
ton are encountered between Tien-tsln
and Peking, fact explainable by the
newspaper advices that small bands OF
Boxers are operating on the line OF
Communication Of the Peking cam
pSign forces. The important dispatch
Of the day was one from Mr.. Conger
relative to the military situation In
feking. Unfortunately it
Lacked n Date.
the minister presumably not having yet
received the Departments instructions
to include the date in the body OF his
dispatches. A significant statement In
Minister Conger's dispatch is that re-
specting the expected appearance In
Psking of some of the members of the
tsung Ii yamun. A natural construc-
ton to he given to this statement is
that these ministers wish to undertake
to represent the Chinese government

Conger's Message.
'NsThe following is Mr.. Conger's dis
patch: mo important movements

tered. Several members of the tsung

leaving, it practically vacant. Two
Thousand Germans arrived to-day"
Another event of the day of some in
terest was the order dispatching the
Castine from Shanghai to Annoy, dis
tant about 400 miles. The little gum
boat should make the run in two days
under favorable conditions. Her force
is small, but sufficient to serve the
moral purpose, if there be need for
such. 1t appears that she is ordered
to Annoy quite as much on account OF
representations from well informed
business circles as from any official ad-
vice. The first direct word from Gen.
Sghaffee since Aug. 1S came yesterday
In the form Of a cablegram dated at
noon yesterday at Taku,
Reporting the Action
of the Sixth cavalry with the enemy
Hear Tier -tsin on the 18th. The cable
is as follows:
"Col. Wint, on the 18th, reports
marched at a. m. and engaged large
force Of enemy seven miles from the
city, dispersed them, killing about 100.
American lost about five wounded.
List as soon as learned"
Col. Wint is in command Of the Sixth
cavalry in the absence of Gen. Sum-
ner, who is in Europe. The fight prob
ably occurred near Tien-tsin, as the
Sixth cavalry was at that place at the
time mentioned. This cable message
adds nothing to the information in
possession of the war department rela-
tive to military movements, as it is
simply Gen. Chaffee's official report OF
an engagement previously reported by
HAdmiral Remey.
