THE BOER CAMPAIGN.

Aiming to Drive Kruger and

New York. July 2S.-A dispatch TO
the Tribune from London says: South
African news. while confused. is reas-
suring from the British point of view.
Lord Roberts has continued his adj
vance to Balmoral, where Gen. Botha
established his headquarters for many
weeks. The Beers were in full retreat
eastward, and Gems. French and Hut
ton were driving the commanders be-
fore them on each flank of the rail-
way. Lord Roberts has clearly set an
other objective point before his army,
and is aiming to drive President Kruger
aud Gen. Botha from the railway into
the Lydenburg district, where they can
be starved out at leisure when the rail-
way communications with Delagoa
bay are broken off.
The results are not yet positive in
any quarter, but the British armies are
moving and attacking the Beers with
great spirit. The long halt seems to
have ended and the weary English pub
lie is beginning TO hope tina: lie close
of the campaign is in sight.

Springfield. H., July Soften per-
sons were injured, two fatally, by the
premature discharge of the evening
gun at the national guard encamp-
ment at Camp Lincoln about five
o'clock Sunday evening. The explo-
sion was caused by some one throw

der which had fallen to the ground,
owing to bag of powder being
broken. The injured are:

Corporal Balsley and Jesse Rupert,

ing the evening gun, assisted by sew
eral men of battery A. A sack of
powder was placed in the mouth of
the cannon and Rupert was about to
drive the charge home. The powder
sack was too large for the gun, and in
forcing it into the mouth of the can
non it was torn and some of the pow
der fell to the ground just below the
muZZle of the cannon. Private Rupert
stood facing the gun, ramrod in hand,
and had the rod on the sack at the
muzzle of the cannon. Balsley also
faced the gun, and soldiers and civil
ians in some numbers were gathered
around, despite the commands of the
officers in charge to keep back. Sud-
denly some one nj tered the words:
watch them scatter" there was
fash of powder on the ground. The
flame was communicated to the pow
der which was being forced into the
cannon and the gun was discharged.

clothes blown. from their bodies,
which were blackened by powder I'M
til they were unrecognizable. The
others staggered back. burned and
blinded. All of the wounded were
taken to hospitals. Great excitement
was caused among the large crowd of
visitors. Some say il was man in

Harry Peters. who was an eyewitness
of the explosion. is of the opinion il
was a small boy.

The Chinese Appeal far Mediation
Was Genernl-Was Received
by All the Powers.

London, July 27.-All the powers APP
pear to have received an identical Chi
nese appeal for mediation, but in the
absence of definite news regarding the
fate of the ministers and of any reli-
able indication of the original origin Of
the appeal, it seems that Lord Sails
bury, the premier, considered it was
not even necessary to publish the fact
that the appeal had been received or
to do anything beyond formally &C.
knowledging it, with perhaps an init
nation that nothing could be done un.
til news from Rking had arrived.
II it could be ascertained beyond
doubt that the reports of massacre at
Picking were Northumberland there is
disposition here to believe that the
ministers may, after all, be held as
hostages - Lord Salsbury's policy
would probably incline more toward
the Cancellation attributed to Wash
ington than to the revenge attributed
to Berlin. But while there is no cessa-
ton of the deluge of rumors, it is be-
beginning to be believed in Shanghai,
Canton and other points that the vice

Washington, July 2S.-Secretary
Hay signalized his return to Washing
ton from Canton Friday morning by
the announcement that under no cir
cumstances will the United States
government accept the Chinese offer
to turn over the foreign ministers to
the internationals at Tientsin in con-
sideration of a suspension of the cam
paign against Picking. a long cable
gram was dispatched to Rear Admiral
Remey at Taku and it is believed that
this instruction was laid upon him.

London. July 3o.-A special dispatch
from Cape Town says: Gen. Christian
Dewet has offered to surrender on con-
dition chat his followers be permitted
to return to their homes unmolested.
Lord Roberts has refused anything ex-
rept unconditional surrender"
A dispatch from Lord Roberts to the
British war office Friday said:
''Broadwood is still watching Christian
Dewet. who has taken up position OF
high hills near Reitzburg, about seven
miles south of the Vaal p. Dewet,
younger brother of Christian, surrendered
at Kroonstad yesterday"
London, July 30.-Operations in
South Africa have again arrived at a
sort of standstill. Pretoris kilograms
announce that Lord Roberts has re-
turned there with his staff, appar-
emily finding it useless to spend his
energies against constantly retreat
ing foe.
London, July 30.-A dispatch from
Fouriesburg, dated July %. shows that
the capture of Fouriesburg was pre-
coded by heavy fighting to force a pas
sage of the passes, which was stub
bornly contested for two days. Gen.
Hunters forces had the hardest work
in forcing Relief's mex, his casualties
amounting to about 100. Upwards OF
6.0O0 Beers, with very large number
of wagons. large quantity of stores
and many cattle, have now been driven
into the mountain passes, where they
are watched by British troops. Their
escape from that point will be very diff
cult.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
from Lourenzo Marques says that
President Kruger is now at Water
valonder. He adds that big fight is
expected and that. il the Beers are
beaten, President Kruger will trek
through Swaziland to Delagoa bay
and take n steamer for Europe
