THE wire and main line of the rail-

Gen. Kelly-Kenny telegraphs from
Bloemfontein, under date OF July %:
THE railway has been cut north of
Honingspruit and a supply train and
100 Highlanders captured by the
enemy. A report was received this
morning that a large force OF the
enemy Is moving on Honingspruit. All
communication with Pretoria is cut
off. The second and third cavalry
brigades are following the enemy"
The war Office has received tele-
gram from Lord Roberts, dated Pre-
toria, July %, which repeats the news
contained in the telegram from Gen.
Forestier-Walker. given above, and
continues:
"Methuen continued his march af-
ter the occupation of Heckport, and
engaged the enemys' rear guard at
zindsfontein July 20. Casualties, one

urday he attacked the enemy again

DEWEY MAKES A FLAT DENIAL
OF ALEJANDRINO'S CHARGES
Declares FIpnOS Statement Tissue Of FalSehOOdS and
That He Never Held the Views Quoted
by the InSuTgeRt Leaders

Washington, July 24.-The letter re-
ceived by Senator Pettigrew from one
Of Aguinaldo's generals, J. Aleian-
drino, containing an alleged account
OF an interview between himself and
Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia
in the Bay of Hong Kong in April.
1898, in which it is stated that Admiral
Dewey promised independence TO the
Filipinos, was shown to the admiral
yesterday by a reporter. The admiral
characterized it a tissue of false
hoods" He declared it absurd on its
face. 81 not only had no power to
promise independence to the Fill
pinos," said he, but the whole tenor
Of the words put in my mouth stamps
them as false. I am made to say
things which / never have uttered
You will notice that / am addressed
in the alleged interview as admiral

The admiral said he had never heard
of AlejandrinO. Several Filipinos, af-
ter much importuning, did come
aboard the Olympia at Hong Kong
They were anxious 20 be taken to
Manila. 4 considered their repre-
sentations Of little Importance" said
the admiral, land | did not take them
to Manila. Later I gave permission

to go to Manila. All that they were

anxious about at that time was an
end of the tyranny OF Spain, against
which they had been fighting. After
the destruction of Montejo's fleet the
city virtually surrendered, and ! am
satisfied that if we had had 5000
troops there at that time we could
have gone ashore and been received
by the Filipinos as deliverers. They
had absolutely no thought then Of in
dependence. That was an afterthought
of their leaders during the interim be-
tween the smashing of the Spanish
feet and the arrival of the United
States troops"
Speaking of the report that Cuba
was to be evacuated by the American
troops after the holding of the con-
stitutional convention Admiral Dewey
said he did not see how the United
States could turn over the island to
the Cubans until a stable government
had been established. I'VE are respon-
sible to the world for the orderly con-
duct of affairs in Cuba" said he "and
until such a government is establish
cd l cannot see how we can Withdraw.
We are confronted with a similar sit
uation IN the Philippines. The world
looks to us, and no matter which po-
litial party wins in November the
United States cannot relinquish the
islands until a responsible and stable
government is firmly established
there.

prepared TO answer questions, but did not
get chance to do SO, and did not ap-
pear to be disappointed OVER the fact.

TUG AT FAULT.
Judge Brown Renders His De-
clslon In Case Resulting From
Sinking Of Schooner.

In the United States District court yes-
terday Judge Brown handed down a de-
cision In the case of j. NJ. Creighton ct
al. VS.. the steamer Gertrude, in which he
says that he thinks the tug was RESPONSE
BILE for the accident which resulted In the
bringing of suit.
Judge Brown says
The libel was against the Gertrude for
the loss of two-masted schooner, Lottie.
and cargo. in collision with the barge
J. II. silliman, in tow OF the Gertruis.
The accident occurred Nov. "a. 1897. nes r
the Quonochontaug life saving station.
"The fault of the tug in failing to keep
clear of the schooner is admitted by the
claimant The single question is whether
the schooner was also at fault in failing
to make timely effort to avoid collision
after II was seen that the fault OF the tug
had made II imminent
In my opinion the claimants have fall
ed TO show any lmprobability in this evil
dence. The failure OF the complainant 10
show any actual error In the management
OF the schooner, the positive evidence that
she did execute the cnly proper man.

ecuted " promptly renders Il unnecessary
