REFUSED TO SURRENDER.
Armistice Granted by Gen. Butler
Came to NauUht.

London, June GA belated dispatch
from Mount Prospect, via Newcastle, Ma
tai, dated Thursday, June Z, throws light
on the armlstlce agreed upon between the
British and the Beers recently 1t APP
pears that Gen. Butler met Gen. Botha,
June =, at O'Nei's farm, between UNI
guela and Majuba and summoned Botha
to surrender. Gen. Botha said be was
not empowered to accede to the demand
Gen. Butler replied:
"Nery WE'LL" and turned to go away,
when Botha pressed him to make pro-
posal. Gen. Butler said he had no pro-
posal to make, but pointed out that the
Beers were surrounded and referred to
the uselessness of shedding unnecessary
blood
What do you want us to do? asked
Gen. BOtha beseechingly.
Return to your farms, leave your big
guns and await Lord Roberts decision"
replied Gen. Butler.
The federal cOmmandant said that he
would refer the question to the burghers.
Gen. Butler then acceded to his (Gen
Botha's) appeal for an armistice until
daybreak, June 6. showing that the Boer
reports of Gen. Butler having requested
an armistice to have been incorrect.
The dispatch adds that the federals
are understood to have twenty-three guns
in position, but it is doubtful if they can
remove them. Their only line of retreat
is in the direction of Lydenburg.
Gen. Buffers dispatch of yesterday
evening shows the burghers ultimately
decided not to surrender.

EXTREMELY RETICENT.
Chinese Officials at Washington Have
No Informal to Give.

Washington, d. c., June 9.-At the
legation today the Chinese diplomats
were extremely reticent concerning the
situation in their native land. If they
have received any advices they are Of
a confidential nature and Minister WI is
guarding them carefully. To newspaper
men officials at the embassy announce
that they have received absolutely moth
ing which will throw any light upon the
situation. They are themselves ap-
parently puzzled by some of the state
ments in the newspaper reports. For
instance, the report this morning that
there were 100000 of the Boxers, Great
ed great surprise. Still they were not in
a position to deny it and one of the sec
retaries in calling attention to it simply
commented: but we do not know; we
have nothing" They eagerly inquire for
ali dispatches to the press, but have
nothing to offer in return.
To set at naught published statements
to the effect that Germany is to adopt
more heroic methods than the other pow
ers in the present crisis in China, Baron
Won Holleben the German ambassador,
said today that Germany would, as here
tofore, participate in any joint action Of
the powers in order to protect the inter-
ests of foreigners in the far East, but
that she would go no further than the
other nations in any action taken.

DEL Pillar CAPTURED.
An Influential Filipino Genera
Bagged by the Americans
Near Manila.

Manila. June 9.-Gen. Pho del Pillar,
the Filipino leader, has been captured
near Manila.
Pic del Pillar, next to Aguinaldo, was
considered the most influential Filipino
leader of the war. He had a large fol-
lowing. His capture is fortunate one.
Gen. Pic del Pillar, the most aggressive
and most persistent Of the Filipino lead
ers, was made prisoner at Guadalupe,
six miles east OF Mania, by some of the
Manila native ponce. Upon information
received that Pic del Pillar was to be at
a certain house, Capt. Lara and twelve
policemen proceeded in a launch to Qua
daloupe, where, aided by detachment Of
the Twenty-frst infantry, they surround
ed the house, captured the general.

positively identified before the provost

Americans Ambushed.
A detachment of the Forty-fifth in
fantry, scouting near Daet, province OF
Camarinas del Norte, were ambushed
May 20. and Capt. Albert Steinhauser
was wounded three times, two privates
were killed, eight wounded and one pr-
vate is missing. The insurgent loss is
reported to be heavy.
Death Sente nee Committed.
Washington, d. c., June 9.-Newspa-
per reports just received at the war
department show that three natives were
convicted of having murdered Quarter
master-Sergeant Albert Votrie, Co. K.
Thirty volunteer infantry, and
were sentenced to death by hanging.
Gen. Otis was, however, unwilling to
direct the execution of the sentence. as
he believed the accused were influenced
by local guerrilla chiefs, who, he said.
were the principal criminals in the affair.
Moreover, he said, the prisoners were ic-
norant of the legal consequences of their
act. Therefore he committed the SEN
tence in each case to twenty-years i'm
prisonment at hard labor in the preside
de Manila.
Wrote No Letters to Aguinaldo.
Detroit, Mich, June 9.-Admiral
Dewey was shown the statement made
by the Manila Times concerning an al
legged recovery by Gen. Funston's men
of a portion of the archives of the Fill
pino government, which it was claimed
contained certain correspondence be-
tween Aguinaldo and Dewey.
Admiral Dewey positively denied ever
having written Aguinaldo. He said:
II never wrote letter to Aguinaldo in
my life. Whenever [ wanted to see him

for certain purposes, just as l employed

Disgust in London on Learning that
Roberts Communications Were Cut.
London, June 9.-London is somewhat
Disguised at the disagreeabIe activity
manifested by the Beers in the Orange
River colony in cutting Lord Roberts
Geographic communication at Roodval,
north of Kroonstadt. As yet there is no
indication whence came the strong body
of 1000 Beers that has arrived at Roode-
val, unless it is the force mentioned in
q recent Bocr dispatch as having started
from Standerton with this very object in
view. Apparently the authorities on the
spot regard the situation at least as tenn
porarily serious, as they are not only re-
inforcing the garrison at Kroonstad, but
are sending up troops from the lines of
communication in Cape Colony.
Roodeval is a fairly strong position,
thirty-6ve miles north of Kroonstad.
