London, Aug. 10.-The News CORE
spondcnt in Pretoria states that u plot to
shoot all the British officers there and to
make Lord Roberts Il prisoner has been
discovered. The plot is believed to have
been the outcome of u conspiracy of
which Johannesburg attempted rising
was the first indication.
Everything was prepared in the plot t.
make Lord Roberts a prisoner and shoot
the British officers, and the conspiracy
was only discovered at the last moment
The conspirators numbered about 1J
They had planned to set fire to the
houses in the extreme western part OF
the city. hoping that the troops would
be concentrated there. The plan was
that then the conspirators We're forcibly
to enter all houses occupied by British
officers, these having been previously
marked, and to kill the occupants.
All the Boer sympathiZcrs were ac
quainted with the plot, and several had
been told off to secure the person of Lord
Roberts and to hurry with him to the
nearest commando. Horses had been OBJ
tanned for this purpose.
Then the British learned the names OF
the ringleaders, who were put under ar
rest. The affair has created tremcn-
dOus sensation.
Kaiiirs who have come into the city
report that the Beers are treating the ma
tives brutally whenever they reoccupy
place that has been passed by the British
troops. Their usual method of punish
ment is logging.
Every night shots are heard around the
town. The firing is done by the sentrics,
who frequently discover Boer emssaries
trying to enter or leave the town.
The supplies here for the army are
abundant, with the exception of forage.
Few of the local farmers bring anything
to market. 1t is expected that trains will
be available shortly, and the merchants
will then replensh their stores. The mill
tary authorities are selling rations of
flour to civilians at 3 pence per pound.
The INDECENT residents are still being
fed by the authorities. Lord Milton has
charge of the food supplies for civilians.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Another stage
Of the advance on Picking was covered
by the international forces on Monday,
when the important town of IaI.;-tsun, at
the crossing of the railway oyv the Pei
llo, was occupied. This important stra-
tegic point was not relinqushed by the
Chinese without Il fight, but nothing is
known yet as to the amount of their re-
sistance. That the Americans particpat-
ed in this battle is shown by General
Chaffee's report that Lieutenant Lang of
the Ninth infantry was wounded and that
the casualties in the American force
amounted to about 60. This number is
supposed by war department officials to
include those reported by General Chat

ChnRee's Dispatch.
General Chaffee added slight details
later in this dispatch, under Mondays
date:
"Iang-tsun occupied today. Wounded
Second Lieutenant Frank X. Lang,
Ninth United States infantry. moderate,
and casualties about 60 enlisted men
Ninth United States infantry, Fourteenth
United States infantry, Battery f. Fifth
United States artillery. Nearly all from
Fourteenth infantry. Names later. Many
men Frustrated by heat and fatigue"
Much encouragement is derived from
General Chaffee's dispatch, which is TAX
en- as indicating that the international
forces are advancing much more rapidly
than had been believed possible. After
the early Sunday morning fight the troops
rested until the next morning. Then they
crossed the Pei-Ho, made a forced march
of IL miles and captured Yang-tsun on
the same day. The conviction that little
opposition is to be expected from the
Chinese troops based on yesterdays re-
port Of the taking of Pietsang. is
strengthened by this dispatch, and it is
not expected that the cooperating forces
will find their advance seriously disputed
by the Chinese until the neighborhood of
Peking is reached
From Iang-tsun to Peking two ways
are open TO the advancing army. The
highway which follows close to the river
can be taken, or the advance can be
made along the bed of the railway, which
leaves the river at Yang-tsun and di-
verges to the westward, entering Peking
from the west side.
1t is believed by the officials of the war
department that the advance will be
made by the railway, repairs to which
are doubtless being pushed as rapidlv as
possible to enable its use for the trans
portation of supplies and re-enforcements.
What has been done during the four
days since General Chaffees report was
written can only be surmised. but war
department officials believe that another
advance has been made 1t is Thought
probable that after the severe work of
Monday the troops needed rest and that
Tuesday and Wednesday were dcyotod to
getting supplies to the front and preDar-
ing the various commands for the nd
vance which it is believed took place vos
terday.
If this calculation be right and no ma.

probable that the relief forces are NV tbis
