MESSA FROM RULER
MESSAGE FROM BULLER

LONDON June 16.-A rumor IS rife in
the city that Lord Roberts is negotiating
with President Kruger and General Botha,
through their wives. regarding terms of
surrender.
The war office has received the following
message from Lord Roberts:
PRETORIA, June 16-Rustenberg was
occupied yesterday by Baden-Powell. A
column starts from this place tomorrow
to meet Baden-Powell and repair the te!e-
graph between Pretoria and Rustenburg.
Hunter is moving from Potchefstroom
His advance brigade expects to reach Jo-
hannesburg June 10.
Butler. l hope is at Standerton Heidei-
berg will be attacked from this place short
ly and then the Orange river colony will
be completely cut off from the Transvaal
"Baden-Powell reports that the district
through which he passed is settling down
satisfactorily. Over 1000 stand of arms
were surrendered and Hans Eloff and Piet
Kruger, son of the president, were to make
submission to him yesterday, having been
previously disarmed on their farms.
"Botha's army is believed to be at Middle
burg His rear guard was surprised and
entirely routed by Ian Hamilton's mounted
infantry"
The war office has received the following
dispatch from Gen. Butler: "Laing's Mex,
June 10. Friday.-Now that Natal is clear
of the enemy, 1 wish to call attention to
the disgraceful way in which private prop
erty was treated in the part Of the colony
they occupied. Their willful and needless
damage is visible everywhere, and houses,
when not completely wrecked. have been
desecrated with filthy ingenuity. That this
has been done with the consent of the lead
ers is proved by the fact that while in
Charles.own every house was wrecked, in
Volksrust, two miles off, but in the Trans
vaal, every house was intact"

KRUGER WOULD SURRENDER.
President Steyn, However, Insists OF
PrOIonEinE War.

LONDON, June 16.-Gen. Rundle's patrol
had skirmish with Boer videttes again
Wednesday. Some wonder Is expressed
here as to what he is doing with three di-
visions. 1t is assumed by some that Gen.
Butler will move into Orange river colony
and cooperate with Lord Methuen. and
Gen. Rumble in bagging President Steyn
and his seven or eight thousand followers.
Part of Christian Bothas force has halted
at Paardekop eighteen miles northwest of
Volksrust. Boer parties are still near
Volksrust, and fire occasionally upon the
British pickets.
The British government IS considering
whether a substantial force should not be
sent to China from South Africa. 1t is
thought unofficially that Lord Roberts could
spare a brigade or two and the necessary
transports are now in South African waters.
The commander of the expedition 1t is said,
would probably be Gen. SIR William Nichol-
son.
A dispatch from Lourenco Marquee, dated
yesterday, says: Persons have arrived
here who have seen the preparations of the
Beers, and l learned that they will retire
when forced, through the Lydenburg dis
trict into the Zoutpansberg region, adjoin-
ing Rhodesa and Gazaland.''
The Daily Mail has a dispatch from
Bloemfontein, dated Wednesday, saying:
Gen. Dewet's attack on the railway was
made after he had succeeded in Turing
Lord Methuen from where he had de-
stroyed the line. Then he cleverly seized
1t north of kroonstad. blew up the bridge
and destroyed a long section Of the line
with dynamite.
Major General Baden-Powell has been
appointed to the temporary rank of lieuten-
ant colonel.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph in a dispatch dated yester-
day says: II understand that Gen. De-
wet, in addition to the DerbyShire Bat
talon, captured two companies of the city
volunteers and two companies of yeomanry,
two men only escaping to tell the tale"
The Lourenco Marquee correspondent of
the Times says: 1T appears that Steyn
and not Kruger is now the stumbling block
in the way of the surrender Of the burgh-
ers. Shortly after the British entry into
Pretoria, Mr.. Kruger proposed to reopen the
peace negotiations. Mr.. Steyn, bearing in
mind that his former advice was secuted,
demurred to this, and pointed out that, ac-
cording to the treaty between the republics,
neither could conclude peace without the
other.
Mr.. Kruger, equally unwilling to incur
the charge of a breach Of faith, had to
continue the war. Nothing further Is
tiations; but 1t is a matter of notoriety
that Mr.. Kruger favors peace on almost
any terms, but dislikes personally to take
an initiative that would involve uncondi-
tional surrender.

resentative George E. Bowden and VIM S.
Holland claim to be the regular delegates
while this honor is contested by H. H.
Libbey and Alvah H. Martin.
John A. Wise appeared for Lbbey and
Martin. He contended for the regularity
of the convention which selected his clients
and attacked in bittor terms the personnel
of the opposition, growing quite personal
in his reference to Mr.. Bowden.
He charged him with desire only to
control the patronage without reference to
party success. saying that Bowden had
himself voted the democratic ticket
Mr.. Bowden contradicted in vigorous Ian
guage Mr. Wise's claim to regularity say
ing that he and Holland had been elected
almost two months before they heard of

claimed that the convention at which they
were nominated was called by the regularly
appointed district chairman, and that it
was FULLY Endorsed by the state committee.

ance that the factions had themselves
reached compromise agreement, the I'M
derstanding being that the delegates who
are representing the Vaughan faction
should be seated in one case and those of

trict and Lathrop and Ezell, Wickerslam
men, from the seventh district. The trans
action was accomplished without discus
sion. The contest In the second district
