Lost Half the Officers

London, July 14.-Pretoria dispatches show that the Lincolnshires lost half of their officers in the Nitrals Nek affair, including Colonel Roberts. who was wounded and 'tahen prisoner. Stragglers continuS. to arrive at the camp, but few further details can be obtained. The British fought stubbornly until nightfall, when the cavalry turned their horses loose.
 The Boer report of the engagement places the British casualties at over 200.
 In the Daspoort affair, mentioned in Lord Roberts dispatch, the men in the front ranks of the Boers wore khaki uni forms and helmets, and the dragons passed them,. under the impression that they were Hussars. The mistake was not discovered until the Boers opened heavy fire. when the dragons were withi" 1Vo yards. ,,, ,

 Another case of the Boers wearing khaki is repotred, to have happened at Lindley on June 26th, when they surprised picket of twenty-five men of the Yorkshire Light Infantry, eighteen of whom were killed or wounded.

THIRD CAVALRY
 HAS FIERCE FIGHT BoIo Men Fought With Great Ferocity But Were Bad-
 Iy Whipped.

Washington July 13.-The War Depart ment has received report from Captain George A. Dodd, Third Cavalry, in regard with Troop F of that regiment from April to May last.
 Captain Dodd's force, consisting of S7 men and 93 horses, left Vigan on April 8. and headed northward.
 Early on the morning of May the 18th his command encountered a large party of insurgents under Gregorio Aglihay in the mountains near BadOc.
 In fierce fight lasting an hour 49 in- surrectionsts were killed, were mortally wounded and A were made prisoners. The affray took place in thick jungle, which made the movements of the soldiers very difficult. The command then proceeded to hunt down a large body of insurgents, which were believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of Baylock. At daylight on May 18th they met and another sharp en- gagement took place.
 The Bolo men are said to have fought with great ferocity, and the troopers were obliged to put aside their carbines and close in with their revolvers in hand-to- hand fight. In this fight 12O insurgents were killed outright and five captured with rifles and horses. Captain Dodd's only casualty was a spear wound suffered by Sergeant D. R. Coppeck in the fighting at close quarters.
 This engagement, says the report, prac- tically squelched an attempted uprising in Ilocos Norte, and the next day the Filipi- nos were again at work in the fields. Cap tain Dodd's command arrived back of Vii gan on May 8, having covered distance of 435 miles.

DISASTROUS NEWS
Is Expected From China in Few Days
 Preparing China Expedition

Berlin, July 13-Chinese advices have been received at the foreign office today, which fact is interpreted by the press as ominous of disastrous news in few days. It is said that feeling of unrest exists in Shan Tung because of the withdrawal of a part of the German troops from Taku to Tsin Tau.
 The German military expedition will carry one battery of ffteen-centimeter Howitzers for the siege of Pekin. The marine ministry intends to charter thirty or forty vessels for China, many of them to be used as supply ships.
 At meeting held here, at which were present number of the highest politicians, leading bankers and other persons of prominence, a society was organized to collect money to provide physicians and nurses for the China expedition. The offer of persons to serve as nurses have been so numerous that no more can be accepted at present
 German trade. Orders for railway material for the German Shan Tung Railway have been cancelled number of needle fac tories In Westphalia have closed. num- Der of firms in Essen, Dortnund and Sax ony complain that the position of affairs in China has injured their business.
 The Foreign office today denied energeti- cally to a representative of the Associated Press the statement contained in cable dis patches from China to some London papers that Baron von Ketteler caused his own death through his harsh treatment of na- lives.
 Count von Buelow's declaration regarding Germans aim in China is much discussed by the press, and it is almost unanimously endorsed but the Vorwaert's notes that Count von Buelow omitted to mention that "Germany's policy in resisting Japan's of- fer to take a mandate from the powers thwarted the only possibility of giving the Ambassadors effective and timely aid.'

Answer to Chinese Ed.ct

Paris July 13-The Chinese minister here has communicated with M. Delcasse, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, an imperial edict dated June 29. To this M. Delcasse has replied that since the Chinese govern ment had the means to communicate with its representatives abroad, 1t ought to guarantee communications between the for eign powers and their representatives at Pekin, and he has, therefore, charged the Chinese minister to transmit telegram to M. Pinchon, the French minister to China.

ALLOWANCES ARE MADE
Rate of ID ia Cents Per Ton Allowed
Fol- Repairs-Actual Cost of
Hosting.

Judge Knowles today again e%ndeavor-
ed to unravel the tangled skein of Ltiga-
ton in which the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing Co., and Receiver Harris are involved
over the operation Of the Snohoniish and
Tramway claims. The judge was forced
to admit that the testimony was very
confusing and that he himself got mixed
up sometimes. The court, he said, was
confronted with the fact that ore is be-
ing hoisted through somebody e.se's shaft
and mined by somebody else's tools. In
getting down to the actual cost, it was a
very difficult matter to make the proper
allowances for some Of the expenses, such
as the matter of supplies. shaft expenses,
etc. The legislature of Montana had en-
acted a law to prevent the shutting
down Of mines owned by co-tenants. He
was willing to be liberal on all matters.
In the hosting expenses he said it would
be a very difficult matter to estimate the
cost of pumping.
Mr.. Hein7e submitted the following re-
capitulatlOn OF the amount due from Re-
ceiver Harris for the month of Noveln-
Der and December:
Observation-Disclosures $685.. SO; Tran1way,
l,l9S.90 total for November, 81, S04.S IS.
Observation-Disclosures, 1882. IL: ram
way, $72S.11; total for month. 81, 610. %; to-
tai due from receiver, $3,415.11
The court said that the Heinze people
come into court, making specific es-
Inmates of the actual cost Of hoisting the
ore from the Snohom.sh and Tramway
through the Rarus shaft. He could not
do otherwise than allow them for the ac-
tual cost of such work because the sta
tutes were very plain on the subject,
The Rarus, he understood, had two
shafts, but he had not been informed
through which shaft the ore had been,
hoisted.
What shaft are you operating?" he
asked one of Mr.. Helnze's witnesses.
mo. 2 shaft now No. 1 shaft has been
discarded" was the reply.
wen, 1t is possible that the new shaft
was made necessary for the opening up
of the other mines. 1t is certain that
1t IS necessary to have engines, fuel, ETC..
to operate HEM"
The matter of general repairs was then
discussed and Judge Knowles said he
would allow Az cents per tom for repairs
for November. He also allowed the
wages Of eight machinists, disallowed
the pumpmen and made an allowance for
one tool sharpener and one helper. There
was considerable dispute over this mat
ter, the receiver claiming that there were
only two men employed on each shift
while Mr.. Heinze claimed that there were
TOUR. In making the the judge
said that Mr. Heinze would not be de-
barred the privilege of being able to SHOW
that four men were employed.
The judge also disallowed the bill for
the expenses Of keeping d horse for the
timekeeper. with the remark that IL
such a bin We're allowed every miner
employed at the mines could also ask for
an allowance Of a similar nature. The
fuel bill amounting to over SO, 900 was al
sc allawed. It is likely that the judge
will be able to get through with the mat
ter this evening.
