Connecting an ExtradltIon Trsatx.

Washington, Dec. ia treaty has
been concluded between the United
States and Great Britain amendatory
OF the existing extradition treaty and
intended to correct certain imperfec.
tions in that instrument, developed by
recent experiences. The changes do
not materially affect the scope or prin-
ciples of the existing treaty, the chief
item in the list being provisions clas-
sifying as crime subject to extradi-
tion the obtaining of money under false
pretenses. At present the treaty
makes extraditionable the reception OF
money obtained under false pretenses
and omits the principal in the crime,
constituting manifest absurdity.
To correct this the amendment is made.

English Forced to Abandon Their Position
General French With Relnforcements

London, Dec. 17.-Lord Kitchener
reports that. after severe fighting at
Nooitgedacht, General Clements forces
were compelled to retire by Command
ant Delarey, with force Of 2,500 men.
Five British officers were killed. The
other casualties were not reported.
Lord Kitchener's official dispatch to
the war Office is as follows:
pretoria, Dec. l5.-Clements' force
at Nooitgedacht. on the Magalies'
Berg, was attacked at dawn today by
Delarey, reinforced by Beyer's COM
mando from Warmbath, making a
force estimated at $500. Though the
first attack was repulsed. the Beers
managed to get to the top of the Mag
allies Berg. which was held by four
companies of the Northumberland fusi-
liers, and were thus able TO command
Clements camp. He retired on HEX
poort, and took up position on hill
in the center of the valley.
"The casualties have not been COM
pletely reported, but the fighting was
very severe, and deeply regret that
Colonel Legge, Of the Twentieth hus-
sars. and Captains McBean, Murdoch
and Atkinson were killed.
Lord Kitchener also reports that the
Beers made an attack and were re-
pulsed at Lychtenberg, and that Gen
eral Lemmer was killed. Attacks
upon bsthlehem and Yrede were also
repulsed, the Beers losing 10 killed and
IA wounded. Vryheid was attacked
December IL. Shipping continued
when the message wa< dispatched.
The scenes at the war Office today
recall those witnessed In the early
stages OF the war. A constant stream
of excited people filed the lobbies, all
seeking details Of the disaster. TIE
absence of the names of any OF the Off
GERS OF the Northumberland fusiIierl
in General Kitchener's dispatch Leads
to the foreboding that the four com
panies OF the fusiliers mentioned arr

office officials evidently expect heavy
casualty list, but they arc hopeful from
the fact that the dispatch does MOI
