4 Fight in the Vicinity of Derdrecht
That Lasts All Day-The Burghers
believed to Have Suffered Very
Heavy Losses i'm the Engagement.
CAPE TOWN, April 25.-The Boer in
vaders and the British have had a Sc
we're engagement and it is believed that
the burghers have suffered very heavy
losses. a despatch from Dordrecht,
Cape Colony. says that the Yeomanry.
under Colonel Wodehouse, and the
Dordrecht Volunteer Guard met the
Beers in the vicinity of that place. 1t
is understood that the burghers were
in large force. The fighting began in
the morning and lasted all day
The British made determined as
sault on the Boer position, and it is
said that when they opened fire at a
distance of two hundreds yards the
burghers fed in confusion, abandoning
a large number of horses.
According to the messenger who re-
ported the battle at Dordrecht, the
Beers seemed to be completely disor-
ganized aid practically without a lead
er, for they were pursued from place to
place all during the day and were not
especially aggressive at any time.
When the messenger left the scene.
the invaders had been caught in a po-
sitiOn between two Br tish forces and
were being mercilessIy attacked, with a
fair prospect Of being annihilated be-
fore the battle ceased. The Boer losses
have not yet been reported but are be-
lieved to have beeen very heavy.
According to the early reports receiv-
ed here. the British suffered no casual
ties during the engagement
It is believed here that the defeat of
this force of burghers VIII greatly dis
courage the invaders who remain in the
Colony and that those left will speedily
attempt to get into the northern com
try. although arrangements have been
made to cut them off in their retreat

REQUEST OF THE CHINESE.
The Enjoys Ask That Certain Ex-
aminatiOns BE Permitted


PEkIN, April 25.-After the adoption Of
the protocol by the ministers some time
ago, the Chinese ENJOYS informed the for
eTgn representatives, that. in compliance
with the demands of the Powers. civil
service examinations had been prohibit
ed in the Provinces of Chilli. Shausi and
parts Of Chekiang, Human and Szechuan,
because of the Boxer troubles last year
This includes Pekin and the provincial
capitals Paoting-fu, Taiyuen-fu, and
Moukden-
The Chinese ENJOYS now enquire wheth-
ct provincial examinations OF the second
degree and metropolitan examinations Of
the third degree will be permissible in
these cities for all those who were out
side the disturbed districts
IF the protocol were carried out strictly
every resident Of these provinces would be
punished. and no metropolitan examina-
tons could be held; but the ministers
while they have not absolutely decided on
this point. are inclined to compromise by
accepting the Chinese view.
After the siege of Pekin, the missiona-
ries of the American Board of Foreign
Missions purchased land adjoining the
Methodist mission at Tientsin- Later on
the ministers declared that the purchase Of
property under such circumstances was
not valid Then the French Government
incorporated the same property in its con-
cessi0n. Now the missionaries have placed
the matter IN the hands Of Mr.. Squiers

HONGKONG, April 25.-The military
complications that haze arisen in
China since the allied Powers took pos
French and German troops, which left
Pelin q few days ago with the avowed
intention of scattering hostile Celes-

regarded here as indicative of the abu-

There have been frequent criticisms
here of late concerning the trend of

ration that the administration of Field
Marshal Count Won WaIdersee has been
failure
He has shown himself to be an able
soldier ard a gentleman Of honor, and
has Won the respect of everyone he has

of his rule. Count ven WaIdersee fail
