TWO BOER CAMPS SURPRISED.
Father-in-lnw of Acting President
 ShnIk Burger Captured.

Pretoria, Aug 20.-Captain Wood, of the constabulary, with one hundred men, including some of Morley's Scouts, command made up partly of former Boers, made night march and sur prised a Boer laager last Saturday morning twenty miles northeast of the Springs. They surrounded the Boers on three sides and poured in a hot fire at two hundred yards range, the Boers saddling up in confusion. It is known that twenty-threes Boers were killed, but the number may be greater. Num- bers of the Boers managed to stream out on one side of the laager.
 The British retired, but found their line of retreat blocked by another body of Boers which was coming up. The situation was perilous, and hand-to- hand fight ensued. Much bravery was shown. Captain Morley was severely wounded. Three Boers attacked Cap tain Wood and pulled him off his horse. Captain Wood smashed the face of one of the Boers with his riding whip, took his rife, remounted and escaped. There were other similar incidents During the melee nearly all the prisoners who were taken in the first fight escaped
 Colonel Benson surprised a laager at Warm Baths, near Carolina, killing two and capturing thirty. Among the lat ter were Commandant De Villiers fath- er-in-la.w of Acting President Schalk- Burger. and Captain Breytenbach.
 The number of prisoners that arrived at Pretoria during the past week was the largest for months.

LULU IN THE STEEL STRIKE
THE RESULTS so FAR ARE CON-
 SIDERED INCONCLUSIVE.
Conditions Settling Down Into n Hard Determined StruggIe-Joseph Bishop, burg-Kis Presence Met by Statement from Both Sides Repudiating the sug- gestiOn That Another Movement for
Peace is Being Considered.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2O.-Following the rapid moves of yesterday on either side of the great steel strike there was a lull to-day. It has been a running fight so far with small victories and minor de- feats for both sides, but it now seems to be settling down into hard, deter mined struggle on which neither side will acknowledge defeat while there is
 hope left. Speculation as to the length
 of time to which the struggle will be prolonged and the extent of its spread is idle.
 Joseph Bishop, the Ohio arbitrator was here again to-day, but both sides promptly repudiated the suggestion that another move for peace was being considered. The steel managers sue ceeded in starting the last idle mill at the Clark plant and are evidently plan
 ming a series of extensions at every point where there is a chance of suc- cess under existing circumstances.
 They will probably start the Star tin mills in this city and will increase the force at the Lindsay and McCutcheon mills.
 An interesting feature of the fight at the latter mill Is contributed by the claim of the strikers that Mrs. Fred erick Baugh, wife of the superintend- ent, is escorting the strike breakers to and from the mill. She has always been very popular with the mill men, and the pickets say they would rather face a regiment of soldiers than this one woman. They say that in peace times she nursed their families and that they simply cannot inetrfere with her or the men she escorts.
 The steel managers are also arrang- ing for more men for the Painter and Monessen mills, but have given no in- dication of the time they will move on McKeesport, Wheeling, Newcastle and Bellaire, the strongholds of the strik- CTS. Veryl Preston, representing Pres ident Schwab, was here to-day and con ferred with a number of the leading officials of the companies federated III the steel corporation, and 1t is under stood that general plans for the cam paign were discussed MT. Preston and the officials whom he met would not talk for publication beyond expressing their satisfaction with the situation.
 The strikers meet the move to reopen the mills with non-union men with the claim that 1t will be simply impossible to secure a sufficient number of skilled men to operate them. Their men, they declare, are standing firm and must be consulted before the mills run. They say they have the situation well in hand and despite the alleged danger of the strike getting too heavy continue their work of organization with view of crippling more plants belonging to the corpora ton. They claim that Chicago will in the end come out, and that there is no danger of the Joliet men going back to work, whatever Chicago does. They are still fighting for Q foothold in

OIL FIRE STILL RAGING.
Another Explosion Adds Fifteen More
 Persons to the List of Injured,

Philadelphia, Aug. 2O-The fire which began yesterday afternoon at the works of the Atlantic Refining compa- ny at Point Breeze, in the southwestern section of the city. is still burning fiercely tonight and Chief Baxter of the city fire department has given ur hope of saving any of the company's property.
 An explosion late this afternoon car ried away the pumping machinery and nothing remains now apparently but to permit the confiagration to burn until all the oil is consumed. It Is believed tonight that the five lives lost in the explosion of the big gasoline tank com- pletes the list of fatalities. The dead are: John McCullon, engine company 49; James Falls, engine company No. 49; John Dougherty, truck company No. g; Frank Davis, truck company, No. g; Alexander Timmers, an employe of the Atlantic Refining company.
 In the explosion which occurred this afternoon fifteen persons were injured seriously enough to be taken to the hospital and about forty others were treated on the scene by the ambulance surgeons.
 Briefly the story of the fire may be thus summarized: All of those reported as missing after the explosion last night have been accounted for. The roll of injured mounts up to more than 1O0 Many of these are trivial cases not taken to hospitals. A few are serious and may prove fatal. The fire is still raging and is eating up oil at the rate of s100,000 a day, according to the esti- mate of President Lloyd of the Atlantic Refining company. Bremen and off, cials are powerless. The cooperage shop has been swept away and in its destruction forty men narrowly escap- ed death. The tanks of benzine are go- ing. Earthworks have been thrown up to keep the Schuylkill river from becoming flooded with blazing oil. The flremen say they are wo rking in the dark. There is danger all around them, they say, and they do not know where the danger spots are.

THREE MORE MEN ARRESTED
TENDERLOIN POLICE CHARGED
 WITH NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Ward men Glennon and Dyvyer and Ser- geant Shields the Accused-The Three Officers Quickly Arrnigned Before sum of S3,OUO and the Others s2,OOO Each

New York, Aug. 20.-As a result of the judicial inquiry being carried on by District Attorney Philbin, Justice Jer- ome and the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Crimes-int the con- duct of the police department, warrants were issued to-day for the arrest of Wardman Glennon. Wardman Dwyer and Sergeant Shiels. All these are con- nected with the "Tenderloin' police station.
 The warrants charge neglect of duty. Glennon and Dwyer were served with warrants. Sergeant Shiels, hearing that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, surrendered to Justice Jerome.
 When Glennon, Dwyer and Shiels were arraigned before Justice Jerome that magistrate said they were charged with violating the penal code section IF, by neglecting to do their duty as police officers with reference to a dis orderly house. Their counsel demand ed an examination of the defendants and their admission to bail. District
 
 fixed at at least $10,000 because of the serious evidence against Glennon con- tained in the confession of Whitney
 There was much discussion over the amount of bail, counsel for the defend- ants holding, in effect, that there was more smoke than fire in the charges brought against the police officers, to which Justice Jerome replied:
 You will find by examining these dispositions that the really vital testi- mony is not that of any person at all discredited, like Whitney, but has been given by police captains, citizens of unblemised reputation, the station house blotters and reputable officials. The testimony is of such a character that it has to be attacked by argument rather than by cross examination.
 Bonds in the sum of $3,000 for Glen non and S2,000 for the other two were finally set and furnished and the case went over until Thursday.

situation at These Important Points of
 the Strike.

Chicago Aug. 20.-There was no con- ference tonight between the steel workers employed in the Illinois Steel works at South Chicago and Vice Pres ident Davis, head of the affairs of the Amalgamated Association of the Fourth district It was reported dur ing the afternoon that MT. Davis had asked for a meeting of the men and that conference would be held this afr ternoon and an effort made to inaugur- ate a strike, but the report proved to be untrue. There is little if any change in the situation, although an unusual number of men have asked to be ex- cused from their work, alleging sick ness.
 Joliet, Ills, Aug. 2o.-The striking lodges will meet in joint conference again to- morrow but the object Is not known. The American Steel and Wire company's plants are all at work and if rode can be obtained will be kept running. The Pressed Steel Car com pany's plant closed to-day indefinitely owing to the refusal of the men to go back to work on a piece price sched- 111p

Kitchener Reports on the Difficulty of

London, Aug. 2l.-In dispatch dat ed July and detailing the condition of affairs at the front at that time Lord Kitchener says.
 'There are no more than 13,5O0 Boers now under arms. Although they are not able longer to undertake extensive operations their apparently inexhaust- ible supplies of food enable them to maintain an obstinate resistance, without retaining anything or defend ing the smallest portion of that vast country The wearing down process that is necessarily slow, rendering the employment of a large number of troops still snecessary.

go Permits of n Gigantic Fraud.

Washington, Aug. 20-The arrest of three men at San Francisco on the charge of passing notes printed from the original plates of the State Bank of New Brunswick, N. J., which went out of business several years ago or prior to the civil war, disclosed the fact that their source of supply was Jacob Weigel, at New Brunswick, N. J. The officials at New York were notified and to-day Weigel was arrested and $17,00O in the notes were secured together with several copper plates of different denominations
 New York. Aug. Reinforcement se- cret officers tonight visited New Brunswick, N. J., and obtained posses sion of the plates and nearly $2OO,OO0 (face value) of the notes of the old State Bank of New Brunswick. The notes were not reprinted from old plates but were genuinely printed thir- ty years or more ago by the bank itself but were never signed by the president and cashier. Lax methods in winding up the affairs of the bank twenty eight years ago seem to have been re- sponsible for the alleged big swindle in other states with the bank notes as 8 basis.
 The bank went into liquidation some years ago. Colonel John A. Newell was at that time appointed receiver and wound up the affairs of the concern. He has since died. Tn the course of his operations he sold the old note plates as old metal to Adam Ludwig, a junk dealer of New Brunswick. The junk dealer also bought the waste paper and all the junk out of the bank. In the waste he found about half a million dollars worth of notes These were in the original sheets and uncut and un- signed.
 These notes he sold or gave to Jacob Weigel, who is 6 collector of coins and old notes. He kept them some years and then began to dispose of them to coin dealers.
 Among others he sold some to Green burg & Smith of San Francisco. This firm, MT. Weigel says, afterward sent him large orders for the notes and in all purchased some s175.000 worth, counting their face value The plates remained in the possession of the junk dealer.
 Tonight the agents saw MT. Weigel They were satisfied with his explana- tion and he gave them what he had re- maining of the notes except those he kept for his collection. He was not ar- rested
 Ludwig, the junkman, turned over the plates. These were still in the package in which they were wrapped after last being used. The seals were unbroken. They bore the seal of the bank and also that of the receiver and there could be no question that they had been used since last the bank ran off lot of the bills.

TO SAVE IT HUNG CHING.
Cause of Omission of Clause to Destroy
 Chinese Forts.

Pekin, Aug. 20.-The omission from the peace settlement protocol of pro- vision for the destruction of the Chi nese forts was due, chiefly, to Lii Hung Chang's protests. He represent ed that it would be a great disgrac ce to himself who had built the forts, to sign an agreement for their destruc- tion. Moreover, he might be punished therefore. The omission in no wise af- fleets their destruction, which will be carried out on the ground of military necessity. The clerical work of prepar- ing copies of the protocol is likely to delay the signing for a few days.
