which was garrisoned by squadron of

battery of the Royal artillery and five
companies of the Lincolnshire regi-
ment. The enemy attacked in superior
numbers at dawn, and, seizing the
hills commanding the Mex, brought
heavy gun fire to bear upon the small
garrison. Nitrsl's Mex is about Is

crosses the Crocodile river. It was

reinforcements from here under Colonel

Borderers. Before, however, they
reached the spot, the garrison had been
overpowered, the guns and the greater
portion of the squadron of the Grays
had been captured, owing to the horses
being shot; also about 80 men of the
Lincolnshire regiment. A list of the
casualties has not been received, but

simultaneously, an attack was
made on our outposts, near DurdepOOrt,

Would Not Call Additional Guards for
the Legations.
New York. July ia d sptach to
the Herald from Berlin says:
A letter has just been published here
from Lieutenant Won Loesch, attache
Of the German legation at Pekin 1t
Is dated May 30, and shows that the
early failure to increase the guards OF
the various legations was due to the
action of the late Baron Won Ketteler.
The letter states that after the first
attack by the Boxers On the Pekin-
Hankow railroad, meeting of the
ministers was held to decide whether
additional troops should be sent for to
protect the legations. Baron Won Ket.
teller was very much opposed to this
being done, while the French minister
was very much in favor of this course.
The latter was, however, overruled by
his colleagues. M. Pichon was so hurt
by this refusal to ask for guards that
he wept.
Another factor that led the ministers
to reach this unfortunate conclusion
was the desire OF the diplomati, corps
to take their usual summer holiday
and it was feared that If additional
troops were sent for they would not be
able to do 80.
Later on, as the Boxer movement in
creased, a second conference of minis
ters was called, at which it was re-
solved to bring detachments Of at least
80 men to guard each legation.

east Of the Tonga group. The princi'
pal product is copra, of which 700 tons
are exported annually.
The terms OF the British protectorate
over Tonga have been modified as re-
suit of a conference between Basil
Thompson, the British representative,
and the Tonga king and chiefs, when
an agreement was signed by which nc
treaty is to bo made without Great
Britain's consent. In case of the Ton.
ga government being in need of assist
ance, it is to apply only to the British
government and not to any other
power.
Upon the return of H. M. S. Porpoise
from Tonga, the commander reported
that Falcon island, which disappeared
in 1898, has again appeared. The
shape of the returned island is like
whales back. and it is considered to be
a serious danger to navigation. Falcon
island is said to owe its disappearance
and temperance to submarine vol
canic activity. Its location is south
west of the Friendly islands.
Advices from Apia say that the little
island of Niufu, or Hope, has been
completely devastated by q disastrous
hurricane which swept away SOC
houses. Thirty-eighr natives were
killed. The cocoanut crop was entire
ly destroyed and the natives are report
ed to be on the verge of starvation.
