turned on the Oceanic from a visit 10

in the original newspaper dispatch
which accused Ament of collecting thir-

from the omission Of the fractional line

letter, publishes yesterday, it appears
that the living Christian Chinese have
had all their losses made good and the

Speaking of his visit to Ceylon. Mr..

campment where 4,700 Boer prisoners
were confined within a series Of high
barbed wire fences.
There We're two or three hundred
Americans among them and those
talked with seemed to owe their plight
to having gone to South Africa rather
from a love of adventure than from any
sympathy with the Boer cause. They
have good deal of liberty
There does not appear to be any
great desire among the Beers for the

A ONE SIDED FIGHT.
German Troops Still Killing
Cinnamon.
ACTIVITY NEAR THE GREAT WALL.
Berlin Authorities Puzzled to Know
the Reason For the Movement
OF Chinese Troops mt
That Point.

BERLIN, March 13.-The war Office
has received the following dispatch from
Count Won Waldersce, dated Peking,
March IL:
"ln the fight west of Suling pass we
had only one slightly wounded The Chi
ncse left 250 dead on the field.
"Our cavalry. with four quick6rers,
pursued the Chinese 20 miles. A battalion
remains ut Fen-ping and westward from
the great wall in order to prevent re-
turn of the Chinese troops"
Official circles in Berlin declare that it
is impossible TO judge here exactly what
leads to the Chinese activity around the
great wall. The Russian papers are
spreading reports that the movement
there is engineered by General Tung Flu
Hsiang and Prince Tuan for the recon
quest of Manchuria. Ii is to the interest
of Russia TO circulate this view. On the
other hand it is believed in Berlin that
the Chinese troops near the great wall
have but slight power of resistance, as
the report of Colonel Ledebur's engage
mcnt seems to Indicate. 1t is also believ-
ed that these Chinese troops are inferior
to those sent against the allies before the
capture of Peking.
The statement that Russia insists upon
China's signature to the Manchurian con-
vention rests upon Chinese authority, but
Germany has no reason to suppress such
information, and the fact remains that
the agreement has not yet been signed.
Nothing is known here as to the pub
lished report that German capitalists are
negotiating with high Chinese officials
for the erection of arsenals at Nankin,
Wuchang and other points, but the rumor
is not believed in Berlin.

LONDON. March 13.-The Daily
News this morning makes the following
important statement: I'VE understand
that the government have greatly modi-
fed the unconditional surrender policy.
We believe Lord Kitchener has been au-
thorized to offer amnesty to both the
Beers and the Boer leaders except where
treachery is clearly proved. Cape rebels
only are to be punished by disfranchisc-
ment. Loans are to be granted to. the
Beers for rebuilding and restocking theii
farms, and finally the government will
offer to establish some kind of civil gov
ernment so soon as all the commanders
have surrendered. Its form will proba
bly, be that of crown colony, but with
an important concession, which Sir AL
fred Miner advises-namely, council
including Beers of position like General
Botha General Lucas Meyer and Mr..
Schalkburger."
