WHAT AsToNIsHEDTHE SCOUT
Ostriches in South Africa Are Often
 Exceedingly FamiIiar.


 The war in South Africa is produc, tive of the greatest curiosities that nave ever come under the notice of the British soldiers. One of the latest re- ports from the scene states that the simple-nzinded British soldiers have mistaken troops of ostriches for bands of Boers ara bands of Boers for troops of ostriches. In some cases the os- triches have made friends with the soldiers. One of the best known cor respondents at the front, who was with General Methuen at the Modder river, reports this remarkable incl dent: While I ranged the valley or plain with my glasses something siip- ped and tumbled heavily over the loose stones behind me. I turned, thinking 10 dodge or help stumbling man and found myself staring into the great brown eyes of an ostrich six feet tall and with legs almost as thick as and longer than my own. He came up here some days ago. said soldier. and he always stays here now. We feed him and fool with, him, and he seems very happy The ostrich stalked past me and took a position between the major and the captain, where after appearing to observe that they were very busy scanning the landscape, he, too, stared at the plain and remained erect and watchful, the highest type of a sentry in appearance. He marred this fine effect for just a moment by seizing and swallowing a box of safety matches. After that he continued his sentry duty with satisfaction in his eyes" The ostrich is a great figure In public life in South Africa. He is a source of wealth and often a friend and companion. He Is valuable sub- stitute for watch dog. He can kick a horse to death and is, therefore, very formidable to br lars. He eats with relish things that would poison the strongest goat that eyer lived.-New York Journal

CHAFFEE |S BELIEVED TO HAVE
 REACHED TIE CIlY OF TlJNC CHOW

Washington, August Awhile the War Department has no specific information as to the future movements of General Chaf- fee, it is thought that he may have cov- cred the twenty miles between Ho Si Wu and Tung Chow. The Pei-ho river makes a great bend between Ho Si Wu and Ma tow, the next town of importance on the read. It is a low, marshy country, where the river doubles back on itself in its ef- fort to get forward The road here cuts across the country, reducing about twenty five miles of boat travel to eleven miles of deep and almost 5mpassable road jour ney through swamN and quagmires. This country presents no defensive features, but about eight miles beyond AIatoW comes the important city of Ching Chai Wan. This is strong defensive point, where the Chinese will make stand, if they make i. at all this side of Pekin.
 From Ching Chai Wan it is practically all continuous city for the next three miles until the walled town of Tung Chow is reached. Here are stored the immense supplies of grain on which Pekin would depend in case of siege. The city would be about as hard to carry as was Tien Tsin, probably more so, owing to the num- Der of streets and houses outside of the walls, where, in case of determined re- sistance mines and ambuscades of all sorts would naturally be encountered at every street corner In case determined stand is made by the Chinese at this point, there is no question that the international column will for all the reserve force it can com mand. But the officials here are very much in hope that China will come to req sonable terms before our forces are com mitted to the extremity of forcing this key to the gates of Pekin.

VARIOUS REPORTS
London Has Several Accounts of the
 Allies Advance

London, August 15.-(4 a. m.)-The only news which takes the advance upon Pekin further than Ho Si Wu comes from Paris. The London morning papers contain noth- ing to confirm the French report that the allies are within sixteen miles of Pekn, although a Che Foo dispatch is printed saying that they were within twenty-sev- en miles of the goal on Sunday.
 Confirming the report of the arrival Of the international forces at Ho Si Wu the Daily Mail correspondent says:
 'The Chinese offer little real opposition. The arrival of the allies frustrated a de- termined attempt to advert the course of the river. The heat is intense, but the health of the troops is good"
 A St. Petersburg special says:
 "The latest news from General Linevitch, commanding the Russian troops in the province of Pc Chi Li, is that the allies, after the capture of Yang Tsun took one days rest, and then, on August ', van- guard was formed, consisting of one Sibe- rian Regiment one Regiment of Bothnia Cossacks three Battalions of Japanese h. fantry, one Japanese sapper company and an American mounted battery.
 Tn spite of the condition of the road, this column proceeded by forced march about eleven and one-half miles toward Pekin, en- countering at Nan Tsai Tung, about AS miles from the capital, Chinese detach- ment, WHICH fought lOT du uOui anu q hih' Finally the Chinese threw down their arms and fled in a panic.
 When the news was sent back, all the allies started forward in three columns, with Cossacks in front and on the Hanks
 A Port Arthur special announces that women and children have been officially notified to leave that place.
 The Chinese Minister in London, Sir Chic Chen Lofeng Luh, Is quoted as saying that he hoped and believed that peace would be established between China and the powers within tn next six weeks
 Yesterday he transmitted to the British Foreign Office another message from the British Minister at Pekin, Sir Claude Mac Donald, the contents of which the officials have thus far refused to make public The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says the German Government has ordered two cruisers to Shanghai, and that another is on the way, while fourth is already there.

KRUGER STORY DENIED
Consul Hollis Never Applied for Sanc'
 tuary in Consulate

Washington, Aug. 14-It Is said at the state department that no formal applica- tion ever has come from Consul Hollis for sanctuary in the American consulate for President Kruger, and that the instruc- tions sent to the consul to confine his en- ergies to his consular duties not re- suit of any discussion of an asylum for the Boer President as the department was not aware that MT. Hollis had visited the President. It Is stated also in this connection that the right of asylum or sanctuary does not exist as to consuates, but is purely a diplomatic immunity at a legation or other quarters occupied by a minister It appears that some intimation on the subject reached the officials here, but it is said to have been not such a formal application as would be requisite. Had formal application been made it is stated, 1t would have been passed on by the President

Col. HOare's Column Safe

London, Aug. 15.-The Pretoria correspon- dent of the Daily News, wiring yesterday announces the safety of Colonel Hoare's s column, and the convoy reported to have been captured by the Boers at Elands river.
 Dealing with the British South African chartered company's offer of farms in Rho- desia to colonial volunteers, the Morning Post maintains that although it is well meant, it is a breach of courtesy to per- suade Canadians and Australians to desert their own countries in favor of South Af- rica.
 Tn the immediate past" says the Morn ing Post, Eve have so often sighted these great but sensitive English speaking na- tions that 1t will be well to avoid even the appearance of such discourtesy."

SENATOR PULLEY SAVES A
 NEGRO FROM BEING LYNCHED

Upon his arrival MT. Pulley identified the negro as one who had worked for him on the day of the crime, and addressed a communication to Mrs. Gillham tending to show that the negro was at Monte Sano on that day. Mrs. Gillham then addressed a letter to the mob, in which she ex- pressed some doubt as to Bibbs being the right man. This letter was read to them by her father. The husband of Mrs. Gill; ham also counseled the mob to be careful and prudent A committee was appointed to investigate the alibi proven, and the negro was placed in the Lincoln County jail under promise of his captors that he would be turned over to the people to be hanged if proven guilty. A delegation left Fayetteville tonight for Huntsville to in- yestigate the matter.
