Fierce Fighting Near Pretoria-Disas-
trous News Following Close on the
Heels Of the Battle at Vladfontein-
The Burghers Are Still Formidable
Antagonists, Even Though Outnum-
bered.
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 1.-The reticence of tho
government regarding the battle Of
Vladfontein and other military events Of
some Importance, which have recently
occurred at widely separated points in
South Africa has led to considerable
anxiety.
This Is in no way allayed by the curl.
Gus answer Of the war office to-day to
question regarding the accuracy or 9TH
erwise of the recent report that the
British were severely defeated near Pre-
toria, May 20, losing 46 killed, so wound-
ed, 600 prisoners and six guns.
The reply which the war office voucl1-
safed, 1--WE have no official information
has aroused some misgivings.
The Sun this morning publishes a
sensational story to the effect that Gen.
eral Botha has arrived at Standerton
and is communicating by telegraph VITA
Mr.. Kruger through the Netherlands
government appealing to Mr.. Kruger to
sue for peace. Lord Kitchener is said
to have given Botha permission to adopt
this course.
The Sun further hears that 10, 900 Zulus
have gone on the warpath owing to Boer
raids in Zululand.

SUGAR AND COFFEE AT WAR
in Their Eyes-Cut Prices for
Their Wares.


New York. June 1.-The Woolson Spice
company, which Is the coffee end of the
American Sugar Refining company, has
issued circular granting grocers an
extra allowance Of u cent pound on all
purchases of Ldon brand coffees be-
tween May e and July 1.
It is supposed that this extra allow
ance has something to do with the Ar
buckle circular issued last July, in which
it was decided to allow an extra allow
ance of half a cent per pound on all
Increased orders for Ariosa coffee over
the amount taken the previous season.
It is understood that the Woolson peo-
pie believe the Arbuckles allowed the
extra rebate.
1t is announced that the Arbuckles
will Immediately follow the Woolson
circular with cut Of Is points in sugar
prices. The National refinery immedi-
ately followed with similar cut. but
restored prices within a few minutes.
Interesting developments are expected
within the next few days.

MISTRESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE
RALLYING FROM Her ILLNESS

Kinleys condition. The gloomy charact-
er of the bulletin issued yesterday has
revived the alarm felt when she was SO
low in San Francisco and many tele-
grams have been received asking as to
the state Of her health. Several ladies of
the cabinet called this morning to make
personal inquiries. They were slightly
relieved to learn that she had had a
comfortable night. The general public
is showing much consideration for the
president and there is no disposition to
intrude upon him during the trial and
other strain he is undergoing. A num-
Der Of senator's and representatives, in
cluding Chief Justice Fuller, Senators
Foraker and Lodge: Representatives,
Boutelle of Illinois: Livingston and
Adamson of Georgia, called.
The president saw the chief justice and
senators for a few moments but excused
himself to the representatives.

BRAVE BURGHERS.
WERE THE ASSAILANTS IN THE
LAST FIERCE BATTLE.
HOTTEST FIGHT FOR MONTHS
Seeking to Make johannesburg an Un-
safe Place for British Enterprise
They Can Still Offer Strenuous Re-
sistance When Led by a Cool and
Wary General Like Delarey.

New York, June IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Gen. Kitchener's account of the battle
OF Vlakfontein serves to light up public
interest once more in the Boer war.
Two facts stand out. First, the de-
termined nature of the Boer assault
upon an entrenched position fifty miles
from Johannesburg; and. secondly, the
heavy losses suffered by both SIDES.
This has been the first real engage
ment fought for many months, and it
is thought to be decisive proof that the
Beers when led by a cool and wary
general like De Larey, can stu offer
strenuous resistance to British arms.
The details Of this battle may indicate
that Gen. Dixon's force was surprised,
and the casualties may run up to 10.
But the Beers, in any event, were the
assailants and were not repulsed with
out severe losses The Beers are also
reported to have fought with exceptional
gallantry while in pursuit of Gen. Plum
mer's convoy.
A British officer who is on furlough,
after fighting from COlenso to Lyden-
burg. has been predicting that the clos
ing skirmishes of the campaign would
occur on the line Of the Durban-J johann
nesburg railway near Standerton. Both
of these affairs We're within the theater
of war defined by this officer months ago
as the last Boer ditch.
AS the natural result, the fight indi-
Gates that the Beers are returning in
small groups to johannesburg and maxi
ing desperate efforts to frighten the
British, who are trying to awaken in
dustry. Vlakfonten was probably de-
signed to be loud warning to the
refugees that the war has not ended
and that johannesburg is still an un.
safe place of residence.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES LEAD
British Secretary for India Aserts That
They Are Better and Cheaper
Than English Product,

London, June Lord George Hami:.
ton, the Indian secretary, who was not
present in the house of commons on
May % when Sir Alfred Hickman, con.
servative, attacked American built loc J.
motives and bridges, has replied in a
letter to Sir Alfred Hickman. In part it
is follows:
mo practical engineer who has visited
American workshops and inspected their
methods of production and manufacture
would for moment indorse your as
sumptions. Their competition Is dan.
gerous because they are yearly imprcv.
Ing their products, both in quality and
price. 1t always has been the practic.
Of the board Of management of the
Indian railroads to give preference in all
their contracts to British manufacturers,
and that policy has so provided that up
to the great recent engineering strike
no order for railway locomotive was
ever given outside Of Great Britain.
Since then. owing to the British work
shops being blocked with work. certain
of the India railroad boards found Il
necessary, as locomotives could not be
obtained here, to place few limited
orders in America.
II am ready to give all the available
reports concerning working, consumr-
tion Of fuel and lOad-draw wing power Of
these locomotives. The earlier reports
were unfavorable, but when their work.
ing was well understood and altera-
tiOns were made to suit the local fuel. a
marked improvement was noticed, SO
much so that one company wishes to
obtain more engines of similar construc-
ton. That American locomotives OBJ
tanned footing in India was due to the
strike I have referred to. But IL, as
hope, British locomotives are in the
future to regain their monopoly in that
vast system Of railways, British en-
gineers must profit by the hints and sug-
gestiOns these reports convey"

STORM A SALOON,
: COMPANION WAS DRUecED
His Comrades Raid the Saloon Where
He Was Found, Set Fire to the
Place, and All But Kill a Man Who
Took Refuge There-Driven Away
by Water.
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco, June IA mob of SOL
diers numbering five or six hundred in
dulged in riot last night and wrecked
Mrs. Powers saloon, one of the many
drinking places just outside the Presidio
reservation,
There are a great many conflicting
stories as to the origin of the trouble The
soldiers of the .46th volunteer infantry
We're mustered out of the service yester-
day and the men given their discharge
papers and pay. Most of the men had
several hundred dollars coming to them,
and they did considerable drinking in the
Preside resorts.
A man by the name of Morgan of the
42nd was found unconscious in front of
Mrs. Powers saloon. Two of his mates
took him into camp for treatment. The
doctor pronounced it a case where drugs
had been administered. The news spread
rapidly about the camp and soon there
We're dozen or more men running to
Mrs. Powers, saloon.
They demanded reparation for the
drugging of their comrade, but any
knowledge Of the affair was denied. Two
or three ex-soldiers lounging about in
the place sided in with the woman and
ordered the soldiers from the premises.
They went back for reinforcements and
spread the report that two of their COM
panions had been killed in this saloon.
A mob made up of members Of the 45th
and 46th regiments then rushed pell nell
through the Preside gates to the saloon.
Stones We're gathered on the way and
then the place was stormed. Every win
dow in the place was broken, the bar and
fixtures broken and the interior damaged
seriously.
The place caught fire and a policeman
broke through the crowd and rang in an
alarm. By that time the. infuriated men
were yelling to burn the place and lynch
one helpless mann. Harris, who had been
driven from the place. Officers tried to
rush Harris through the crowd, but were
stopped. In spite Of the efforts of the
police to protect him, stones beat and cut
him terribly.
Finally, when all the cavalry and pro-
vost guard Of the day arrived, charge
was made through the crowd and Harris
taken to safe place. The efforts or ,ne
cavalry and guard to disperse the mob
were futile until the fire hose was turned
on. The entire guard Of the post helped
to restore order.
Mrs. Powers estimates her damage at
5000. Not thing was left intact in the
saloon.
A careful investigation Of the reports
that some of the soldiers had died from
drugged liquor proved that such was not
the case. Morgan is the only possible VIC
tim of drug.
An investigation Of the riot will be
made today.

pardon of Judge Dudley Dubose is TAX
ing shape all over the state, and among
friends in his home state of Georgia.
Assistant Attorney General Mettler,
who was associated with him when he
was district Judge. says he may proceed
on two lines. by making application for
a hearing, and a petition for pardon.
Judge Dubose is accused of advising
Mckenzie. as receiver Of mining claim
at Cape Nome, to disregard the court
order to surrender the gold taken out,
when. in fact, he advised comptois, at
whose instance Mckenzie appointed.
Mckenzie in his testimony said that
Thomas Geary Of San Francisco gave
him such advice, and did not mention
Dubose in that connection.
1T is said that nearly everybody in Fer
gus county. regardless Of party, would
sign the petition for pardon.
Hoke Smith, former secretary of the in.
terror, wrote William M. Fletcher of
Chicago. who is working for a pardon
there, saying that he would go to WASH
dngton and make a personal plea with
the president.
-Dubose is not expected to leave Cape
