DEWET'S BOLD DASH.
Valorous Boer Leads Forces Sue.
cessfully Through British
Lines.

Advices from Bloemfontein state that
the details of General Dewet's escape
from the encircling British columns
show that it was one of the boldest in
cidents of the war. When Haasbroek's
command joined Dewet December 18th,
some fifteen miles east of Thabanchu,
General Knox was only about an hour
distant, and the Boer situation ap-
peared desperate. But Dewet was
equal to the occasion.
Dispatching Haasbroek westward
to make feint Victoria mex, Dewet
prepared to break through the British
columns at Springhaau mex pass, about
four miles of broad, fiat, unbroken
ground. At the entrance were two
fortified posts, while artillery was
posted on a hill eastward watching
the Beers. Suddenly a magnificent
spectacle was presented. The whole
Boer army Of $500 men started at
gallop, in open order, through the
mex.
President Steyn and Peit Fourie led
the charge and Dewet brought up the
rear. The British guns and rifles
doomed and ratified necessarily. The
Beers FIST tried the eastward route;
but encountering artillery, they di-
verged and galloped to the front of the
hill to the westward, where the fire OF
only single post was effective.
The whole maneuver was piece of
magnificent daring and its success was
complete, in spite CT the loss OF a
ffteen-pounder and twenty-five pris-
oners.
The British force detached after
Haasbroek came in contact with his
commands at nightfall. The burghers
were scattered and Welsh yeomanry
galloped among the retreating Beers,
using their revolvers and butt ends of
rifles with great effect.

ROBBERS LOOT BANK
Chased By Officers and One Is
Captured After Hard Fight.
OCCURRED In BROAD DAYLIGHT
Safe Blown Open With Nitro
Man Caught Had
All the Stolen Money.

A battle between five bank robbers
and several officers occurred at an early
hour Saturday morning near Tulla-

tempt, made by the latter to arrest
the former.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock Friday

robbers, who, after blowing open the
safe by the use of nitro glycerine, took
$4,000 in currency from the safe and,
hurrying to hand car on the branch
line of the Nashvili e, Chattanooga and
St. Louis railway, started for Tulla-
homa.
While the robbers were in the bank,
next door to the telephone exchange.
their presence was discovered by Mrs.
E. R. Taylor, whose husband is the
superintendent of the telephone e1-
change, and she quietly notified Sheriff
Powers of the fact. The sheriff hast
ened to the bank, but when he arrived
he found that the robbers had COM
pleted their work and had fled.
Mrs. Taylor informed the authori-
ties at Tullahoma and party of dep

JAPAN IS SYMPATHETIC.
Dilstory Tactics of Pekin DipIo-
mats Causing a Revolution
of MongoI Sentiment.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press at Yokohama, Japan, wires that
the wearisome and Disappointing de-
lays Of the Pekin diplomats are having
marked effect upon public opinion in
Japan, producing what may be regard
ed as almost revolution of sentiment
in favor of China. The native papers
are now mainly ranged on the side of
leniency in dealing with the chief in
stigators, not only from practical
point of view, looking at the supreme
Importance of inducing the government
to return to Pekin, but also owing to
the inherent force of the spirit of pa
triotism which characterizes the ia
panese natives.
The Japanese are naturally asking
themselves what they would have done
under similar provocation. The an
swer has given rise to an outflow of
something strongly resembling sympa-
thy, and Japan is therefore ranging it.
self on the side of the nations which
are counseling the most moderate terms
possible in the negotiations with the
Chinese court. It is noticeable also
that even some of the foreign papers
here are upon the same side, The Japan
Nail conspicuously so.
The missionary question, of course,
occupies foremost place in the dis
cussion. It is now felt as essential
that the western powers take cogni-
zance of the fact that religious inva-
sicns of oriental countries by powerful
western organizations are tantamount
to 6libustering expeditions and should
not only be discountenanced, but stern
measures should be adopted for their
suppression.
1t is, of course, admitted that indi-
vidual religious zeal in the line of pro-
pagandism cannot be interfered with,
but the mission boards constitute
standing menace to peaceful interna-
tional relations and are here generally
recognized as such. The business
continues and is exciting
some alarm in foreign as well as in
native circles.
