missionaries at Tung Chow urgently
requested Minister Conger to send
them a guard to escort fifteen women

the viceroy of Chi LII province to send
an escort with them.
Many converts were murdered at

ROBERTS RAILWAY CUT.
Twenty Miles Torn Up by Boers-BuIler In
Transvaai.


London, June 1.-THE Beers have
torn up twenty -one miles of Lord Rob-
ertS' vital line of railway between
America Siding and Roodeval. 1t Is
Il bold raid and veXatious, but it does
not disquiet the military authorities
as yet, for they expect General Kelly
Kenny to drive off the marauders and
to reopen the line.
The rapidity of the advance Of Lord
Roberts cannot have permitted him
to accumulate large reserves of stores.
Therefore an interruption of the rail
way even for week must embarrass
the army and may bring the forward
operations to standstill.
Nothing has been heard of Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on
the railway. the strenuous opposition
to General Rumble and the nimble es-
cape of Commandant General Botha's
division have forced the war office OBJ
servers to the reluctant conclusion
that the war is not yet over. although
even the occasional civilian Boer sym
pathiZer cannot see how the Beers will
be able to do anything to change the
result.
General Butler is now in Boer terri
tory. Dispatches of correspondents
with him, filed yesterday mt sunset,
describe the corps as camping at Can
soloi close to the point where the
frontiers of the Free State, the Trans
vaal and Natal meet.

Sympntlhy for Doors.

Omaha, Neb., June 11.-C. W. Wes-
sells, one of the Boer ENJOYS, was Civ
en- public reception in the city hall
this afternoon. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mayor Moores who ex.
pressed his sympathy with the Beers.
A large number Of people shook hands
with Mr.. Vessels. Later Il largely at
tended mass meeting was held in the
theater, at which Governor Poynter
presided. The governor announced
that his sympathy was with the Beers
and every other country struggling
for liberty.
w. ]. Bryan made an address in
which he urged that 1t was the duty of
every man whose sympathy was with
the Beers to express IT, and gave It as
his opinion that the pro-Boer sentiment
in this country was largely In the as
ccndant. He thought If that was back
ed up by the official moral support Of
the government 1t would be sufficient
to prevent the extinction of the South
African Republic.
The audience received Mr.. Bryan
with unbounded enthusiasm.

BOERS OUTFLANKED.

Route.

Butler Crosses Drakensberg by Another
Route.
Drakensberg. Orange River Colony,
June 9.-General Butler. instead Of try
ing to force passage through Laing's
mex, as the Beers anticipated he would
do with General Hilyards division, of
which the Eleventh brigade formed the
attacking line, experienced but slight
opposition in gaining the top of the
Drakensberg range by way of Botha's
pass. 1t was found that the grass on
the route taken by the retreating Beers
had been fired. The route was cover
ed with dense smoke and darkness
thus prevented any further pursuit.
This success of General Buffers STRAIT
egical movement turns the Boer right
and must compel them to evacuate
their positions at Majuba hill and
Laing's mex.
London, June 10, $3.50 a. m.-Fifty
thousand British troops are within fifty
miles of the marauding Beers north OF
KroonStad, and they are expected, Of
course, to make short work of them.
Nevertheless. outside of the war office
kilograms, no one knows what is going
on.
South of Kroonstad there is wide
gap. The railway is only partially de-
Tended and, as General Kclly-Kenny
has hurried all the available troops
northward the assumption is that there
is danger of second raid. The loss
of the Derbyshires is estimated at from
COO to 700 men.
