FIGHTING ON THE VAAL RIVER
Nethuen Is Thought to Have Inter-
copied Gen. Dewet's Forces.

london, Aug. l0.-The following re-
port. dated Pretoria, August S, has Teen
received from Lord Roberts:
Kitchener was informed yesterday by
an escaped British prisoner that Dewet's
wagons had crossed the Vaal. Afterward
| heard the sound of guns, which | think
must have been Methuens, as | directed
him to take up a position between Pot
chefstroom and Lindique, where he could
intercept the enemy, who crossed the
river at Dewetsdorp. Kitchener is cross
ing the Vaal with cavalry and mounted
infantry.
Hunter reports that he made l440 pris-
oners in the Bethlehem Harrismith dis
tliet, majority of whom are now en-
route for Cape Town. Three guns and
10 wagon loads OF ammunition and l95, $50
rounds OF ammunition were destroyed.
The garrison of Glands river which /
fear has been captured, consisted Of about
800 bushmen and Rhodesians. i had hoped
that Darlington had been in time to
withdraw the garrison, but it seems that
Delarey, learning of Ian Hamilton's APP
proach to Rustenburg, hurried westward
and surrounded the garrison before Car
ington arrived.
'Methuen telegraphs that he engaged
part of Dewet's force yesterday neal
Benterskroon. He drove the enemy of
OF succession of hills, which they held
obstinately. Our casualties were sever
killed or wounded, including four of
ficers"

is to be tested by a cipher dispatch which

Situation Is Critical.

Washington, Aug 9.-The last message
from Minister Conger brings the Chinese
situation to its most serious stage, and
the authorities at Washington regard the
matter as one of great gravity. They are
aware that nothing but the most vigorous
action can meet the conditions, save the
ministers and other foreigners in Pekin
and avert war of long duration. After a
conference of the men in charge of the
diplomatic and military affairs, in which
President Mckinley participated over the
long distance telephone, it was decided to
send message to Consul General Good
now, repeating the contents of the Conger
message and advising him that the situa
ton is serious and a crisis has been reach
ed. He was directed to communicate the
fact to Iii Hung Chang, to Sheng and other
Chinese officials, who were to transmit
| it to the government of China with a
strong representation that the present
situation was intolerable and could not be
continued without the most serious re-
suits. 1t is understood that the dispatch
was practically an ultimatum, and an
early reply is demanded. The answer is
expected during the day or evening, and
it probably will determine the future ac-
ton of this government.
1t is not believed by the war department
officials that the international forces now
operating along the Pei river can reach
Pekin in time to rescue the ministers if
active hostilities should begin against the
legatoners by the imperial troops. So
serious do the officials regard the situation
that it is believed by some there is greater
safety for the ministers and other foreign
ers to accept an escort of the imperial
army to Tientsin than to remain in Pekin
if war should be declared.
The information received through the
Chinese minister regarding the opening OF
communication between the ministers and
their governments is the one ray of hope
of the situation. Whether the promises
contained in the edict will be made good
ought to be speedily known, and if con.
muncation is established the monstrous
consequences may be averted Although
there have been intima tions before that
such communication would be estab
lished, this is the first time that it has
appeared in the form OF an imperial edict
As result of this latest communication
from the Chinese government and Thu
message sent to Consul General Good
now, the United States government il
now in a waiting attitude, hoping for tn,
best, but apprehensiye of the grave posi-
bilities.
