BR|TONS AGAIN Startled
Desperate Fighting and Heavy
Losses Within Forty Miles of
johannesburg.
GEN. DELAREY IN NO WAY DAUNTED.
The BOer Commander, Though Suffering
the Loss of Il Guns, Met the British at
Close Ouarters-Burghers Left 35 Dead
on the Field and British Had ia Men
Put Out of Action.

London, June 1.-On the anniver-
sary of Lord Roberts entry into Jo-
hannesburg the country has been
startled by the receipt of news of des-
perate fighting and heavy British
losses within 40 miles of the gold reef
city. The battle at Vladfontein, on
the Durban-Johannesbu railroad,
reported by Lord Kitchener, is the
most serious engagement since Gen.
Clements reverse at Magaliesburg.
1t shows Gen. Delarey is in no way
daunted by the capture of II of his
guns by Gen. Darlington six weeks
ago. The garrison of Vladfontein,
apparently largely composed of yeo-
manry, had 174 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 dispatch from Lord Kitch-
ener, dated Pretoria, May 80, is as fol-
lows: Gen. Dixon's force at Vlad-
fontein was attacked yesterday by
Delarey's forces and there was severe
fighting. The enemy was eventually
driven off with heavy loss, leaving 35
dead. l regret that our casualties
were also severe. The killed and
wounded numbered 174. Four officers
were killed"

CUBA MUST TRY AGAIN.
President Mckinley and Cabinet
Rejects Action of the Constitu-
tional Convention.
NOT A SUBSTANTIAL" COMPLIANCE.
Notifications and interpretations of the
Cuban Delegates Regarding the Platt
Amendment Are DistastefuI to the Ad-
ministratiOn - Monroe Doctrine Has
Nothing to Do with the Case, 1t Is Said.

Washington, June 1.-The adminis-
tration has decided that the action
of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton in accepting the terms of the
Platt amendment with notifications
and interpretations of their own was
not Substantial" compliance with our
terms within the meaning of the
amendment and Secretary Root will
convey this intelligence to the con-
vention. The dicision was reached at
the cabinet meeting Friday.
At the cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the in
terpretations of the Platt amendment
contained in the constitution adopted
by the convention and the whereases
appended to it, went outside of fair
Interpretation of it's meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the cabi-
net concurred. When asked as to
what would be the next step of the
government after the Cuban conven-
ton had been notified of the rejection
of its action, one of the members of
the cabinet said that the government
could do nothing further until the
as the conditions of the Platt amend
ment were on the statute books com
pliance with them must precede our
REIMBURSEMENT of control over the is
land.
There is n great deal of addcnda i'll
the way of explanation and interpre-
tation in the report of the committee
on relations which has been adopted
at Havana, that is wholly unsatisfac-
tory to the president and also TO those
who have been consulting with him,
but there is au earnest desire to reach
the best possible results. One of the
most Objectionable features of the in
depreciation is the addition of the
words saying that the action of the
United States is an amplitication of
the Monroe doctrine IT is emphati-
cally stated by some of those who
have been present at the conferences
that the Monroe doctrine has nothing
whatever to do with the present situa-
tion in Cuba.

HIS FUNCTIONS LIMITED.
European Governments FAN to Understand
Why the President Cannot Act Without
Restra mt In the Chinese Matter

Washington, June 1.-Having set.
tied upon the amount of indemnity
and the rate of interest to be paid
upon the bonds, namely, four per
cent, the ministers at Pekin are now
negotiating respecting the difficult
subject of guarantee. 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 task promises to be difficult OF
disposition. The United States gov.
ernment is pressed by Russia and
France to make the guarantee inter
national and joint, but it is firm in
its declination to do this, basing its
arguments upon constitutional linn
itations upon the executive branch OF
the government, which are not easy
of comprehension to European minds
