BERGENDAl TAKEN.
Strong BOer Position Captured by
General Butler.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The war office
has received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts:
slow on account of the great extent and
difficult nature of the country over which
we are operating, but we have made Il
satisfactory advance and met with de-
cided success. .
The work fell entirely upon Butler
command and resulted in the capture of
Bergendal, a very strong position two
way station.
II met Butler at Bergendal shortly aft
er our forces arrived there and was glad
to find that the occupation cost less than
had been feared on account Of the ap-
proach to the Beers position being across
IN open glacs for 1000 or 5000 yards
and because of the determined stand of
the enemy.
General French advanced to Swartz
kopjes, on the Lydenburg road, and pre-.
pared the way for the movement of Pole
Carew's division.
General Rumble reports that he made
reconnaissance in the Brandwater basin
on Aug. 20 and suffered some casualties
One Boer was killed and II were cap
tured. He also secured 700 head OF cat.
tie.

occupied Mushroom unopposed. his troops

miles. Lyttleton's division and two bri-
gades Of cavalry, all under Butler, oper-
ated southwest of Dalmanutha. French,
with two brigades OF cavalry, moved
northwest of Belfast, driving the enemy
to Lekenvly, on the Belfast Lydenburg
road. As soon as French reachcd Lcken-
Wy Pole-Carew advanced from Belfast in
support.
'The enemy in considerable strength
opposed Buffers and Pole Carew's ad-
vance. He brought three Long Toms
and many other guns and pompons (quck
firing guns) into action. The firing until
dark was hot and persistent. Butler
hopes his casualties will not exceed 40.
Pole-Carew has not yet reported.
''The Beers are making a determined
stand. They have large number Of
guns. Tls, country is difficult and well
suited for their tactics and is less favor
able to cavalry than any we have hither-
to worked over"
The war Office later received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts:

Bruce Hamilton mt Winburg. General
Olivier has been captured"

LOSS OF LIFE AT NOME.
Terrific storm strcws Coast with
Dead Bodies and wrecISnge.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 25.-A Sent
tie (Wash.) special to The Bulletin says
n terrific storm ragged at Nome Aug. Z.
There was a heavy loss of life. The wa
ter front is lined with wreckage and
stranded vessels of all descriptions. Out
of 6S steam launches it is reported only
five remained afoat, and of ~ barges all
but seven drifted ashore. Twenty dead
bodies were washed ashore and taken
to the morgue for identification. Five
dead bodies were washed ashore at Top
kuk three miles north of Nome. the
mouth of the Nome river, and eight in
front of Nome camp, three y miles be-
low Bluff City and two below Topkuk.
The pesthouse on an island was de-
stroyed by fire on Aug. 8. Three pa
tientS were removed safely.
A tale of disease, death and suffering
among the Eskimos almost beggaring de-
scrption is told by Guy ii. Stockslager,

tion sent out by the government. Stock
slayer has returned from York and re-
ports the natives dying by Wholesale,
dozens of dead bodies lying around un-
buried.
At Teller City the sick natives killed
the medicine man of the tribe in the
vain hope that the act would appease the
evil spirit. Thirteen deaths We're report
ed at Teller City in one day.

DELAY UNEXPLAINED

DES0LATION In LEGATION STREET
Mail Advices Say Houses of Foreign
ers Were Either Destroyed or
RiddIed with Sbot-Attempt to
Mine American buildings.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-That the mex
plicable delay in forwarding telegrams
from the Chinese capital still continues
h illustrated by the fact that the latest
Ispatch from Peking describing the
earch for Boxers in the imperial park
dated no latev than Aug. 81.
There is no confirmation from any
iource of the report of an advance north
yard from Peking On the contrary, a
movement southwark to clear the country
jnd to insure free communication with
faku is apparently in progress. The
powers as late as Aug. 81 were still un-
able to agree as to how to deal with Pc
king itself, the japanese and Russians
being at variance as to whether the i'm
perial palaces should be destroyed.
Nor is there any further news of the
alleged detention of Ii Hung Chang by
the admirnls. Probabilities increase that
all the members of the imperial house
hold have got safely to the interior.
A Reuter- dispatch, dated Peking, Aug.
10, and sent by post to Shanghai, de-
scribcs scenes of appalling desolation
and wanton destruction in Legation
street. All the houses of foreigners We're
riddled with shells burned or blown up.
An attempt was made to mine the Amer
lean legation. A shaft was sunk from
the top of the wall 10 feet deep and was
then continued as u tunnel, with sharp
slope, in the direction of the legation.
Apparently the Chinese did not have time
to tnish it.
The Siecle's report of a defeat suffered
by the allies at Pekng is everywhere
discreditcd
The Peking correspondent Of The Dai-
ly News, in dispatch dated Aug. II,
asserts that there are thousands of in
stances going to show that the Boxers
were approved by the imperial officials
in their indescribable ferocity.
The Hongkong correspondent of The
Times, wiring yesterday, says:
"There are reports of continued ag-
gression by Black Flags on North river
and of the deliberate destruction of mis-
sion nronerfy"

SOME CROOKED WORK
Te1egrams From China Bear Evil
dence of Interference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. - Several
communications came to Washington
from the United States officials in China
yesterday, but being dateless in most
eases the government was by no means
satisfied with the state of communica
tions, and the cabinet meeting gave the
larger part of its attention to the prob
en- Of rectifying this state of affairs.
Evidences of Interference with the mes
sages have accumulated to a point where
the government has determined to take
steps to establish channels of its own,
even If it is necessary to employ the
rather expensive device of man-of-war
plying between Shanghai and Chefu for
this purpose. Meanwhile word comes
that rapid progress is making with the
shore cable, which is to connect these
points, and it is believed that within a
week this means of communication will
be open.
Three messages from General Chaffee
Were received and while they cast no di
rect light on the military situation they
were inferentially important. The gen
erals statement that he needs no siege
battery, taken in connection with the di-
version Of the First cavalry, which was
bound for Taku, to Manila, seems to
make clear that there is no intention to
enter into Il prolonged campaign in China
such as would involve the use of heavy
artillery or of re-enforccmCnts in the
shape OF men and horses. At the same
time it cannot be said that the govern
ment has shown any sign of purpose to
abandon any just claim it may have Sc
cured upon China through the brilliant
operations of the little American force in
the Flowery Kingdom. But it begins to
appear that the battle Of today is one Of
diplomacy rather than one of arms, and
Notwithstanding the various rumors that
have filtered out from Chinese sources Of
heavy engagements between the interna-
tional forces and the Boxers the officials
here are satisfied that no formidably or
ganized resistance will be offered by the
Chinese if the demands Of the powers are
limited to the principles laid down by the
United States in its several notes.
After the cabinet meeting it was an
nounced that the government was in Il
waiting attitude regarding the Chinese
situation. The lack of late advices from
Peking and the failure of the powers to
show their hands as to their future pull
cy makes it necessary for this govern
ment to await developments.

CRUELTY AND tGLECT.
Captain Crcnsbnw's Suncrings on
the Transport Sherman.

ATLANTA, Aug. 29.-Captain Frank
Crenshaw. Twenty-ninth volunteer in
fantry. died here yesterday. Captain
Crenshaw saw service in Cuba and the
Philippines, and wound received in
the battle of puttol eventually caused
his death. Captain CrCnshaw, who ar
rived in Atlanta II week ago, made II
statement to his father in which he
charged outrageous treatment and neg
lcct on board the transport Sherman
from Manila to San Francisco. Th"
statement was to the effect that after
the vessel left Manila and was on the
high seas officers in the sta;erooms next
to Captain Crenshaw's complained that
he kept them awake by the suffcringS
from his wound He was taken from
the stateroom and paralyZcd in The left
side and unable to lift his head and al
most unconscious, was placed in II berth
down in the hold of the ship near tn"
engines in the midst of the insane men
who were confined there.
Captain Crcnshaw said he was unable
to hold himself in the berth and fell out
three times while the ship was riding
out storms in the China seas. He finally
brbed hospital steward with S25 to
give him some attention. At San Fran
cisco Captain Crenshaw alleges that
treatment was refused him, the surgeon
in charge informing him that it was i'm
possible because of limited assistance in
the hospital. The wounded officer, nc
companicd by his uncle, then started for
Atlanta, and an operation was perform
ed here.
The body Of Captain Crcnshaw will
lie in state at the capitol until noon to.

OF the Peoples party national commit
tee yesterday the declination of Charles
A. Towne as the vice presidential nomi.
nee of the party was accepted and the
name of Adlai Il. Stevenson was put in
his place. This result was obtained after
a long debate, beginning at . p. m. and
ending about 6:30 p. IN. In the begin
ming there were three courses advocated
by different members of the committee
viz, to nominate a Populist, to leave the
place blank or, lastly, to indorse Mr..
Stevenson. Senator Marion Butler,
chairman of the committee, in warm
speech of some length, advocated leav-
ing the place blank, oontending that
Bryan and Stevenson would receive more
Popuist votes than if a candidate for
vice president were named. But one
test vote was taken. There were 124
members of the committee present or
represented by proxy.
