all the others escaped injury.
The robbers were identified as Luz

surrounding country news is constantly
arriving of fresh atrocities by the
Boxers" Three Christian families
were massacred at Shan Lai Ying, six
ty miles from Pekin. At Wang Tai, a
railroad station. workshops and ware
houses were gutted and much lolling
stock destroyed. The damage Is esti-
mated at half million taels. Eight

READY TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION.
The Survey Of the Railway Line From Ros.
well to El Paso Completed,

The surveying corps Of the El Paso
extension OF the Pec0s Valley and North
eastern route finished the survey Of the
line from Roswell, Chaves county, to Ell
Pas0.
The announcement comes from the
general Office ct Roswell that the cons
truction crews will begin work In . few
weeks, and the road be completed to FL
Paso by the close Of the summer.
Much speculation exists o. to whether
the road will be operated independently
or become the property Of some big sys-
TEN. The road connects at Amarillo,
Tex, with both the Santa Fe and the
Rock Island through the Colorado
Southern, and rumor has II that both
companies are bidding for the line. 1t
IL more likely that the Rock Island will

into FL Pas0.

London, May 30.-It is officially an
nounced that the Beers are leaving Ma

in the southeastern portion OF the
Transyaal.
BULLER MOVING FORWARD.
London, May 3O.-The following dis
patch was received from General Bull
ler:
New Castle, May 3O.-The enemy
having formed "a laager east of the
town at Dornberg, pressed my right
and rear annoyingly. May 27 directed
a force under Hildyard by Woolsdrift
and Utrecht, and another under Lyttle-
ton by Schanga drift, on Dornberg.
These movements have caused the enc
my at Dornberg to retire north. Hid
yard is at Utrecht, the town having
surrendered. Clery Is bombarding
Laing's Mex. The enemy are much dis
heartened, and were they not In such
very strong positions I doubt If they
would show fight. The railway was
opened to New Castle on May 49,"
FROM A BOER STANDPOINT.
Pretoria, May 29-An official bulletin
was issued as follows: "On Sunday a
fight occurred close to Van Wyck's
Rust in Gatsrand. The federals fought
well. The British troops seemed tired
out. At dark the federals were forced
to retire in the direction of Van Wycks
Rust on account of the overwhelming
force of the British. The British at
tackled Witwatersrand yesterday, and
were in contact with the federals at
Gatsrand, but were beaten back with
good results by the federals under Com
mandant Louis Botha The British loss
is reported to be considerable. The Brit
ish are near Utrecht, and are also
marching on Laing's Mex"
PREDICTION BY LORD ROBERTS.
London, May 3O.-As Lord Roberts
heretofore always fulfilled his predic-
tions, it is taken for granted here that
the British marched into Johannesburg
at noon to-day. Many military men an
ticipate that General French will cap
ture the Transvaal capitol within day
or two with sudden and unexpected
move. Public interest centers largely In
President Kruger's capture or escape.

DENVER SCIENTISTS
A Party Of Them Is Encamped To-
day Near the Denver & Rio
Grande Depot.
EXPLORED CLIFF DWELLINGS
A Visit to the Enchanted Mesa-The Age
Of the Cliff Dwellings to Be Deter
mined-Ths Object of the
Expedition.

A scientific exploration party from
Denver came in from the south yester-
day and pitched their camp near the
Denver & Rio Grande depot. 1t consists
Of Rev. c. M. Cobern, pastor of Trini-
ty church at Denver; Capt. C. A. Dean,
custodian of the Colorado war relic mu-
scum; Prof. I. E. Cotter, of the Denver
University, geologist; and Rev j. C.
Gullette, D. D., photographer
A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.
Lounging in the shade of his tent, Dr.
Cobern talked entertainingly of his trip
to New Mexican scribe this morning
as to how the expedition came to be or
ganized, its object and it's travels.
While on summer vacation last year
the pastor of Trinity church visited the
He was so shocked at the evidences of
vandalism there and so impressed with
the need Of scientific research into these
and other ancient ruins in the south
west that upon returning to Denver he
spoke of the subject to his congrega-
ton, taking the position that the Mesa
Verde ruins at least were not near so
old as had been generally claimed for
them; possibly 500 years old, yet of very
great interest and worthy of preserva-
tion from the careless work of pot
hunters in search of relics. Congress-
man Shafroth, of Colorado, happened to
be in the audience at the time, and at
the close of the address he called upon
DR.. Cobern and requested him to draft
a bill for the preservation Of these Mesa
Verde and similar ruins. This bill is.
now pending before congress.
AGE OF CLIFF DWELLINGS.
But DIR. Cobern's position as to the
probable age of such ruins brought such
a deluge of letters from all over the
country protesting against his five-cen-
tury theory and inviting him so earnest
evidences Of a greater age could be
shown, that he decided to delve deeper
into the subject for scientific purposes.
So he organized this party, turned these
letters over to Captain Dean to make
up their itinerary, and left Denver at
the end of April by rail for Durango.
Thence by team they came south to
