1T is NOW BELIEVED HERE,
state Department Accepts the View
of Disaster in Pelxin.


Washington, July 13.-The department Of
state has received dispatch from Con
sui General Goodnow at Shanghai, say
ing that the governor of Shang Tung
wires that the Boxers and soldiers were
bombarding the legations for a final at
tack upon July Z. He is extremely anxious
for the safety of the ministers and friend
ly Chinese in Pekin. The consul adds that
fears for the worst are generally enter
taine6.
The stale department has also received
a dls patch frcm Consul McWade at Can
ton, saying that the Vice1oy, Lii Hung
Chang. has engaged quarters upon the
Chinese steamer Anping, but that the date
of his departure for the north is, as yet
undecided.
Consul General GooGnow message ter
ribly depressed the offic ais here. All along
they have suspected that the various ccm-
munications received fran Chine sa
sources in Shanghai have been preparing
the way for the announce ment of the ex-
termination of the foreign ministers and
their wives, attaches, dependents and
guards.
The consul generals message, it is un-
derstood, is but repetition of the latest
press reports from Shanghai, but the state
department has come to place a high esti-
mate on Mr.. Goodnow's advices. 1t ap-
precletes the fact that he does not send
every piece of unreliable gossip afioat in
the sensational news center where he is
stationed but uses good judgment in sift-
ing out the probable from the other kind
of news. Moreover his advice this time
is from the Chinese government of the
province wherein Shanghai is situated, and
it is hard to conceive of>an adequate rea-
son for the Justification of the facts by that
official in the direction of this particular
report. Therefore, the state department,
which has all along been hopeful of the
ultimate rescue of the ministers at Pekin,
has now Joined European chaucelleries in
the belief that all have been killed.

HOW THEY WE'RE BEATEN.
story of the Reverse 10 the British
at NitraI's Mex.

Pretoria. July 12.-Col. Mahon, reinforced
by Gen. French's brigade yesterday. took
all the positions held by the Beers in the
neighborhood of Rietfonteln A number
of Bcer dead were found. The British
casualties were trihing.
Details are now at hand regarding the
disaster to the Lincolnshire regiment on
Wednesday. 1t appears that five COM
panies were ordered Tuesday 20 proceed
and hold the pass through Magalesburg
in the neiehborhood of Daspoortfort. They
arrived at the pass in the afternoon. where
three companies, with two guns, took up
a position and camped for the night, leav-
ing Two companies on plain south of the
pass.
The eastern hill was rugged rocky and
inaccessible. but further east apparently
approachable from the main ridge. At
daybreak yesterday the Beers appeared on
the eastern kopje and opened heavy FIRE.
Confusion ensued. The colonel ordered the
men to take up position on kopje west
of the gap. From this point hot fire en-
sued during the entire day,
Two guns, under the escort of the Scots
Greys. placed in advance OF the main body,
were captured after a stout resistance.

saved the gun.
There was continuous fire all along
the line the Lincolnshire regiment men
vigorously replying. About 3 O'clock in
the afternoon the Beers appeared TO the
left of the position occupied by the Brit
ish. An officer and fifteen men attempted
to charge them. Fourteen men were Killed
or wounded as the result of the charge.
Three companies were practically sur
rounded but they kept up a steady fire un-
waveringly until towards nightfall. when
their ammunition had been expended.
The latest arrival from the scene states
that the moment of his escape the men
were taking a good position under cover.
and with fixed bayonets were awaiting the
approach of the Beers
1t is understood upon good authority
that the Beers have employed armed ma
tves. Two of the natives leaped from
cover when a small party from the Lin
colnshire Regiment stepped up and de-
manded their surrender. A soldier stepped
forward and shot both of the natives dead
one officer, who succeeded in making his
escape, had an encounter with an armed
native.
1t is feared that the losses of the British
were numerous. About thirty of the Brit
ish soldiers struggled back to camp to-
day. According to all accounts, a great
force is being assembled TO prevent fur
ther progress of the Beers.
Commandant Grobler. who commanded
the federals at Nitral's Mex, had four
guns.

In the Derdepoort affair, mentioned in
Lord Roberts dispatch. the men in the
front rank of the Beers wore khaki uni

DANGER OF AN OUTBREAK.
The Blanket Indians Growing
Troublesome In Minnesota

Troublesome In Minnesota
Solway, MINI, July 13.-The danger of
an outbreak by the Blanket Indians on
Red Lake is increasing. The Indian po-
lice from the agency have gone over to
the point, where the Blanketkrs are hold
ing their war dance, and it is expected
trouble will ensue.
Twenty mounted men have left Solway
and will proceed to the agency and take
instructions from Indian Agent Mercer
The men are all well armed and carry
each thousand rounds of extra ammuni-
ton, which will be distributed among the
settlers.
"A petition will be sent to Gov. Lind to-
morrow, asking that a detachment of
state troops be sent to Red Lake at once
The Indians keep up their war dances
and their shouts can be heard for three
miles at frequent intervals. They dis
charge their rifles in the air
1t is said that large body Of reds from
the northern part of the state has Joined
forces with the Blanketers. and small
bands of Indians are joining the main
body hourly. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire force numbers over 300 at present. The
squaws and papooses have been sent
north and only the young bucks remain at
the point
The white settlers at the point are pre-
pairing for an attack. The Indians at the
agency have assured the whites of their
support, but IL is thought that many Of
them are going over to the Bla anketers.
Nothing has been heard from Capt Mer-
Ger since his departure for the lake, and
fears are entertained for his safety.

EVIDENCE IN POWERS CASE.
Col. Campbell Stated the Claims of
the Prosecution.


Georgetown, Ky, July 13-The jury was
completed in the Powers case to-day, and
the first evidence was heard.
Before the hearing of evidence began
Col. Campbell stated the case for the pros
ecution. He reviewed the political events
of last fall. and especially the events fol-
lowing the election and the institwing of
state officers.
He said that Caleb Powers was the most
aggressive among those who sought to set
tie the contest by violence. and that to
him largely was due importation TO Frank
fort of the band of mountain men, IT'S of
whom We're retained in Frankfort regu-
larly. He charged that a majority of
them had killed from one to several men
each. He claimed it will be put in evidence
that on Jan. rs, Mr.. Powers made use of
a statement that "Goebel has not as many
days to live as l have fingers on my hand" :"
He levie wed the facts in connection wi h
the assassination, and claimed that the
state house yard had been cleared in
furtherance of the conspiracy; cited the
sing of the executive building against
the police officers the calling out of troops
and other matters which have already
come out in the examining trials as fur
ther proof of the conspiracy.
d. Meade Woodson, ex-cty engineer of
Frankfort, who made the measurements
by VIII ch the pres cution, through mathe-
matical demonstrations, attempts to prove
that the shot was fired from Powers Of
fee, was the first witness placed on the
S and.
During Surveyor Woodson's testimony
he produced the chip cut from the hack
berry tree in the state house yard. The
chip contains the steel bullet which is
supposed to have PASSED through the

St. Petersburg, July 1S.-The latest Off
