One Hundred and Seventy-Four Men
Put Out of Action.
SHARP FIGHT At VLADFONTEIN
Delarey Attacks Gen. Dixon's
Forces With Desperate Energy.
THIRTY-FIVE BOERS KILLED

LONDON, May 31.-On the anniversary
of Lord Roberts entry into Johannesburg
the country has been startled by the re-
ceipt of news of desperate fighting and
heavy British losses within forty lilies q
the Gold Reef city. The battle at Vladfon-
tein, on the Durham johannesburg railroad
reported by Lord Kitchener today is the
most serious engagement since General
Clements reverse at Magaliesburg 1t
shows General Delarey is in no way daunt-
ed by the capture of eleven of his guns by
General Darlington six weeks ago. The
garrison of Vladfontein, apparently largely
composed of yeomanry, had TIA men put
out OF action. That their assailants came
to close quarters and suffered heavily is
shown by the number of dead left on the
field.
The dispatcn from Lord Kitchener, dated
Pretoria, May 30, is as follows:
'Genera1 Dixon's force at Vladfontein
was attacked yesterday by Delarey's forces
ana there was severe fighting. The enemy
was eventually driven off with heavy loss
leaving thfrty-five dead. I regret that our
casualties also were severe The killed and
wounded numbered 174. Four officers were
killed"

CAPT. HALLS CASE.
vancement Ten Numher.

Capt. McCa1la Recommends His Adj
vancement Ten Numbers.
The case OF Captain N. T. Hall of the
marine corps Is to be considered by the
beard Of awards with a view to his ad-
vancement on account of gallant services
in China in the face Of the enemy. This
officer was recently acquitted by a naval
court OF the charge Of cowardice during
the siege OF Pekin. when he was tempo
rarily in command OF the legation guard
A statement made by that court in an
nouncing its verdict has attracted more
reference to some Of the members Of the
United States legation. This statement is
as follows:
Femininity figures on certain pages, and
it is plainly indicated that some Of the
severest criticisms Of Captain Hall are
traceable to the same evidence which ex-
tolls into heroic Importance a civilian who
Is incidentally condemned by evidence ad-
duced by the offense.'
1t is alleged that Captain Hall incurred
the i'll will Of certain ladies of the lega-
ton because OF his alleged refusal to order
the marines to rise to their feet and salute
them they passed by. There is nothing
in the naval regulations requiring such ac-
ton on the part Of the marines, and the
court found that Captain Hall had not vio-
lated any regulation in the matter
His claim for advancement ts mainly
based on the recommendation Of Captain
B. H. McCalla and other high ranking off,
GERS who are aware OF his gallant con-
duct in the Chinese campaign. Captain
McCalla recommended that he be advanced
ten numbers, and his vindication Of the
friends to justify such recognition Of his
services

His incendiary appeals to class hatred and
prejudice, such he made at Gaffney to

GUARANTEE OF CHINA'S LOAN.
The United States Declines to Join the
Powers.


Having settled upon the amount of in
demnity, and the rate of interest to be
paid upon the bonds, namely. per cent,
the ministers at Pekin are now negotiating
respecting the difficult subject of guaran-
tee. The Chinese plenipotentiaries are not
concerned at this stage; the ministers must
first agree among themselves as to the
method of guaranteeing the loan, and this
The United States government is pressed
by Russia and France to make the guaran-
tee international and joint, but it is firm in
Its decifnatton to do this, though obliged
to base its arguments upon constitutional
limitations upon the executive branch of
the government. which are not easy OF
comprehension to European minds.
Most of the foreign powers now consider
the indemnity question closed, and have so
informed their representatives here, the
total being $337 GOO 900, on per cent ba-
sis. 1t is said that the settlement of this
question is the main reason for the with
dra~al OF troops, as their continued pres
ence at Pekin was the chief factor in
bringing China to an acceptance of the
terms.
Whether Count Won Waldersee will re-
turn from China by way of the United
States has not been definitely known to the
authorities here, and it is expected that he
will decide upon his route after reaching
Yokohama and comforting with Countess
departure of the commander-in-ch chief from
China will not be later than June IA, and
the information received here Is that this
will be accompanied by reduction of the
German force even greater than has been
indicated In press dispatches the inten-
t1on being to leave only a legation guard
at Pekln and an auxiliary force capable of
keeping communication open between
Pekin and the coast, so as to avoid a repe-
tition of the disturbances.
The various foreign representatives do
not expect that there will be any need for
choosing successor for Count Won Wal
dersee. as it is said there will be no need
of a joint command over the compare lively
small force constituting the legation
guards. The understanding Is that the
withdrawal of troops will be speedily fol-
lowed by the return of the imperial family
to Pekin, although before that can be done
some of the quarters burned during the
foreign occupation must be restored and
there must be much overhauling of the
palaces which have of late served as bar
racks for soldiers

N OF REA SIS U R ! N G
PHYSICIANS BULLETIN AS TO MRS.
Mckinley.
Still Suffering From the Illness Which
ARicted Her in San
Francisco.

The following bulletin as to Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition was given out by Sec
retary Cortelyou just before noon today:
Mrs. Mckinley is recovering from the
fatigue of the trip The illness from which
she was suffering in San Francisco still
continues, though in less intense form. She
Is still feeble and cannot be considered out
of danger. Her progress will no doubt be
slow, but improvement is looked for.
"P. NJ RIXEY, MD;
GEORGE NJ STERNBERG, MD;
"W. W. JOHNSTON, MD"
The bulletin followed a consultation of the
physicians held during the morning. The
three physicians were with their patient
for about three-quarters of an hour. DR..
Rixey was at the White House early this
morning. and remained until the other
physicians arrived. DR.. Rixey was at the
bedside of his patient at regular intervals
throughout yesterday and last night, and
will be in close attendance until Mrs. Nc
kinley is considered out of danger.
The bulletin issued today Is not as reas-
suring as had been hoped. The public had
begun to hope that Mrs. Mckinley was out
of danger, but the statement of the ply
sicians shows that her condition is more
serious than supposed. The fact that she
still suffers from the illness which put her
at deaths door at San Francisco will be a
source of general regret.
All of the Presidents callers this morn
ing expressed their earnest hopes that Mrs.
Mckinley might improve and be restored
to her usual health.
The physicians said that Mrs Mckinley
had rested comfortably during the night.
The two nurses brought from San Fran
and one of them is always with Mrs. Nc

THE CASE OF THE MAINE,
fne Claim for Damages Not an In
dfvfdual but National One.

The Claim for Damages Not an In.
dfvfdual but National One.
Some time ago 1t seemed likely that the
Spanish claims commission would have to
decide whether the Maine was sunk in
the naroor OF Havana by Spanish treachery
or whether 1t was sunk by accident re-
sulting from some cause originating on
board the ship. Claims for indemnity on
the part OF widows and others dependent
upon men killed at that time have been
filed with the commission, and IL these
claims should be adjudfcated 1t would be
necessary to fix the responsibility for the
catastrophe on some one. But the Attorney
General has made a presentation to the
court to the effect that the claim on ac-
count of the loss of the Maine is a national
ana not an individual one. If it is decided
that it is claim of the United States
against Spain then ii will not be pushed
further, because it will be in that class
OF cases which the treaty of Paris pro-
Vlded should be annulled. This is clearly
set forth in article of the treaty, which
provides:
The United States and Spain mutually
relinquish all claims for indemnity, ma
tfonai and Individual, of every kind Of
their government or of its citizens or sub
3ects against the other government that
may have arisen since the beginning OF
the late resurrection in Cuba, and prior
to the exchange of ratifications of the pres
ent treaty. including all claims for indem-
nifty for the cost of the war"
1t Is seen by this article the United
States cannot set forth any claim against
Spain for the loss Of the Maine. If the
commission should decide that these claims
are individual and not national in char
acter, then it will be necessary to deter
mine the cause Of the blowing up of the
Maine, and the claimants could secure in
demnity only In the event that the de-
struction of lives was through Spanish
instrumentality, the payment. Of course,
to be made by Congress.

Where the Accident Occurred
The accident occurred on the 9th street
line Of the Peoples Railway Company,
which had been opened for business only
the day previous. Three cars were in
volved in the smash-up, two being heavy
double-truck cars and the third a four
wheel summer car. The large cars. Nos.
and 16, which We're crowded with pas
sengers returning from Brandywine
Springs Park, were descending the steep
hill from Franklin to Monroe street Car
No. 16 was in the lead and as car No.
began to descend the steep incline the cir
brake refused to work. Motorman Benson
reversed the current and this caused the
motor to burn out. For some reason the
ratchet brake refused to work nd the car
started on wild dash down the hill In
a moment 1t crashed into car no. 10, which
was only a short distance ahead, and sent
the latter spinning down the hill. All ef-
forts of Motorman Krauss to check the
speed Of the first car were unayatling and
both cars dashed down the hfIl, humping
into each other at frequent intervals.
The passengers became frightened end
jumped from the cars, which accounts for
the great number injured. Only two or
were hurt. Gilman, the only passenger
who was instantly killed. jumped out of q
car window and. falling under the wheels,
was cut in two.
COllfdcd With Another Car.
The two large cars were going at such a
great speed that when they reached the
base of the incline they were carried some
distance UP the hill toward Madison street
Here they crashed into a summer car
which was going in an opposite direction,
and several persons in the summer car
were seriously injured. Motorman Albert
Fulmer of the summer car did not see the
runaway car until 1t was too late to avoid
the second collision.
