BOERS IMPLICIT HEAVY
 LOSS ON THE BRITISH

London, September 22.-The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener dated Pretoria, Septem- Der 22:
 "Kritzinger, while endeavoring to force a passage of the Orange river, near Herchell at 1 o'clock Friday morning, rushed the camp of a party of Lovatt's scouts. He failed to cross the river, but the scouts lost heavily. Colonel, the Hon. Andrew Murray, and Captain Mur- ray, his adjutant, were killed. Deeply regret the loss of Colonel Murray, who throughout the war had led Lovatt's scouts with great galantry.
 Under cover of darkness the Boers managed to carry off a gun. They were promptly followed up and the gun was recovered in a smart engagement in which Kritzinger lost two killed and twenty taken prisoners"
 
 exposition in his powerful and convinc ing way to the support of the public.
 Six Weeks More.
 There are six weeks more of the life of the exposition and it is in the full bloom of its beauty and interest. Every feature of it has been developed to it's highest point and 1t Is being operated on a more elaborate scale than ever. It is a complete mass of varied activities and entertainments, more than ade- quately carrying out it's aims and pur- poses. It is a national enterprise and should be supported as such for the credit of our country as the leading na- tion of this hemisphere. That support, l feel certain, 1t will have In fullest and overfiowing measure"
 Referring to President Milburns state ment Director General Buchanan said that at no previous exposition had the countries of Central and South America taken as deep personal interest in the success of this movement as in this; that this was especially true of Chilli, which had expended upon a building and an exhibit half million dollars and equally so of Cuba which for the first time in
 
 exposition within a magnificent building of her own filled with her natural re- sources and productions.
 This one feature of the exposition" said the director general, "has attracted greater commendation from the millions who have visited 1t than has been the case heretofore with Latin-American ex- hibits at any previous one."
 Attendance Remarkable.
 He said further that the attendance at the exposition now was remarkable when all the circumstance were taken into consideration. From every quarter tele- graphic assurances were being received of the purpose of the different States and numberless organizations to do every thing in their power now to give express ion to the warm general feeling of inter est and commendation in the great work which has been undertaken and so suc- cessfully and magnifcently carried out by Buffalo. All State days and other spe- cial days set heretofore for this month and postponed on account of the sad events attending the tragic end of the President here are now being re-assigned and taken up by the different States and localities interested with increased inter- est and a purpose on the part of every one to make them more brilliant and splendid in every way than would have been the case had they been carried out as originally intended.
 He added that the only problem now confronting the exposition was how to find days enough within the closing weeks to adequately take care of the many attractions and features now being planned He predicts a great attendance during the month of October and one in excess of the highest estimates that have been made by the most sanguine. In answer to an inquiry as to whether Buff falo could take care of the crowds he said there was no difficulty whatever in this regard; that Buffalo could easily take care of 25O,O0O strangers every day com fortably and at reasonable prices.
