f WILL QUIT.
General Surrender at an Early
Date.

Date.
Durham, June II. It is persistently
rumored mere that a general surrender
or the Beers will take place at an early
date.
Details of Bullock's column. which is
operating in the eastern part of the
I~ransvaal, show that during the past
three weeks the British have made FREE
quent successful night attacks in pur-
suit OF C~ommandant General Botha's
forces. They have captured a number
or Beers. and also large quantities of
STOCK. Quantities of foodstuffs have
been destroyed. The efforts to discover
the location Of a Long Tom in possess
sion or the Beers have been futile.
Gen. Blood's operations in the East
ern Transvaal ave been eminently suc-
cessful in keeping Gen. Botha's force In
a comparatively small area. The bulk
or Botha's command, with whom lie Is
at present, is still south Of the Delagoa
Bay railway. There are now only 600
Beers north of the line. Gen. Blood has

BRITISH NEXT TO GO.
VIII Begin Evacuation of China
Early Next Month.

Pekin, June 1.-THE British contem-
plate beginning their evacuation early
In July. The first to leave will be the
infantry, and after the monsoons the
cavalry will 60. The first troops will
retire from the Tartar city, which will
be left in possession of the Chinese
troops. Gen. Barrow has informed Ii
Hung Chang that he can transfer the
two British sections to the Chinese on
July /. q.
Ii Hung Chang's deputies conferred
yesterday with a committee Of minis
ters regarding the payment of the in
demnity. The Chinese suggested 9TH
er sources of revenue han those pro-
posed by the powers. The ministers
have not decided which sources are to
be used. Russia and France continue
10 advocate a loan under an interna-
tional guarantee. Several countries,
including Italy, object to China being
allowed to pay 4 per cent on the in
iemnity, as their own rates OF interest
are higher than tina If the Russian
proposition is accepted the rate of in
terest will be higher and the loan will
be issued below par, which will mean a
greater burden for China to carry.
There is no inkling of what the final
decision of the ministers will be. The
emperor has issued stringent orders to
the authorities along the border OF
Shensi and Chill to prevent
Collisions With the French.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the return of the court to Pc
kin by way of Northern Honan and
then northward to the Belgian railway.
There is nothing to show that the court
has denied itself anything amid the
sufferings from famine in Shensi. The
Chinese express great satisfaction at
the announcement Of the intention OF
the court to return in September. All
the foreign troops, with the exception
or the legation guards, are expected to
withdraw ere the middle OF that month,
the only troops now already under or
ders of withdrawal being the japanese,
whose government is sending reliefs. 1t
Is said, however, at the japanese Legal
ton that when Japan Is absolutely GER
tain the other pawers are evacuating
her W troops can be withdrawn on
two days notice.
Ii Hung Chang denies the report that
the West Mongolia mission has been de-
stroyed, but he acknowledges that the
country is disturbed. The fate of the
mission can only be learned later. when
reports are received from authentic
cources.
