captured This morning a patrol visited
the scene of the fight and found one
dead Australian and one wounded man.
A number of dead Boer horses were also
found, showing that the Australians had
made gallant fight before surrendering.
1t appears that when the Australians en-

found their retreat cut off, they galloped
for nearby kopje hoping to beat off
the Beers, but on arriving they found
another force of burghers concealed.

Fears of Discord That Might Lead to Rupture
Entertained From the First

Washington, June 26.-The officials
here receive with regret and concern the
reports from Che Foo that discord exist

Anglo Americans. Coming from the Off

it has been recognized from the outset
that such a Heterogeneous force gave op-

well known that the sailors and soldiers
of certain countries do not like to serve
under British commanders, and that Brit

disnclination to take orders from for

all differences to be sunk in order that
common purpose might be executed
against a common enemy. One of the
chief dangers apprehended, has been that
the foreigners would separate into fac

against the Chinese. but opening up the
more serious possibility of an internation-
al breach between the forces of the
foreign powers. Beside this, it is felt

officials here accept these charges with
great allowance and they particularly
