BoERs FOUGHT DESPERATELY.
Lotter's Commando Hemmed in by
n British Force.

CAPE TOWN, Sept. THE details of
the fight in which Lotters commando was
captured by Colonel Scobell have just
been received here. 1t appears that Colo
mel Scobell surprised Lotter, who had
laagered in the centre of a basin, sur
rounded by ridges. The Beers occupied
two kraals and shed, into which the
Boer pickets rushed all the wounded.
The Cape Mounted Rifles and the Ninth
Lancers surrounded the position COM
pletely Tie first British volleys, which
were fired at daylight, stampeded the
Beers horses. The burghers, seeing thai
escape was impossible. took refuge in the
shed, from which they returned the fire
OF the British.
Then the British concentrated their fire
from four points on the shed, at distances
of from so to 400 yards. Every corner of
the Boer position was well searched for
three-quarters of an hour. when a white
flag was hoisted. Nevertheless, the Beers
continued firing, and a private of the
lancers, who galloped forward to receive
the surrender. was shot twenty yards
from the shed.
The firing then ceased, as Commandant
Lotter came from shelter and surrender
ed. The shed presented a terrible specta-
Gle. The dead and wounded were lying
in all positions.
Colonel Scobells disposition of his force
was admirable and he out-maneuvred
Commandant Lotter completely.

sc,Iex and the Department.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: Since the
days of Paul Jones the United States
Navy has been the very symbol of honor
as well as bravery. If it is becoming an
object of contempt. not only to the coun-
try but to the world, it is a matter OF
intense interest to every citizen and every
man is entitled to enter his protest
against the cause. What that cause is
is obvious to all who have watched the
management of the Navy Department for
the last two or three years. The gross
favoritism on the one hand, with corre-
spending injustice on the other. have
placed an ineffacable stamp upon the ad-
ministration of the department. OF
course, the most glaring instance Is in
the treatment of Admirals Schley and
Sampson. If one cares to see an uncol-
ored record of forty years service of the
former. l refer him to an article by Park
Benjamin in the September number of
the Review of Reviews" 1t may be
doubted whether the combined services of
the whole circle of his apparent oppo-
nents, from the Secretary of the Navy
down to the plagiariZing ''laborer," Mac
lay, in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. can
equal it.
The Hartford Times a leading New
England paper, seems to think that the
man Maclay is an instance of malignant
heredity. 1t appears that one of his name.

CAUGHT WITH A STOLEN WATCH
Edward Smith. When Arrested, Had
Valuable Missing Property.

In the arrest of Edward Smith yester-
day morning by Detective Sergeants Lacy
and Browne, the detectives believe that
they have secured the colored highway
man who has been infestinR certain por-
tions of the city for several weeks past.
He Is twenty-four years old and In ev-
cry way answers the description of the
much wanted man. In his possession at
the time of his arrest was found the gold
watch and chain taken from J. NJ. Watts.
of 236 Thirteenth Street southwest, about
2 O'Clock last Sunday morning.
The prisoner stoutlv denies his guilt,
but he has been identified by several par
ties and there is but little doubt but that
he is the man wanted. He has been living
at 512 Second Street southwest for some
time past. 1t is also believed that he is
the man that held up r. NJ. Elliot. of
112 L Street northeast, in judiciary
Square several mornings ago. and robbed
him Of silver Open-faced watch, a chain,
and a topaz charm. The last two have
been recovered, but the watch has not
been.
Smiths last attempt II is believed was
made yesterday morning shortly after 4
o'clock, when Edward NJ. Doolan, OF 1921
Twentieth Street northwest, had the horse
which he was driving through the Agri-
cultural Grounds stopped, but nothing
was secured by the highwayman. With
In half an hour after that Smith was
arrested at the corner of Thirteenth and
d Streets northwest and was locked up
at the First precinct station to await de-
velopments.

The PROTOCOL COMPLETED
Signed by the Ministers and the
PlenipOtentiaries.
China Agrees to Make Voluntary
Reforms RcgardinG the Rice TAX
and the Examinations - Western
Methods to Be Employed Hereafter

PEKIN, Sept. 10 p. m).-The protocol
was signed today by the Ministers and
Chinese plenipotentiaries. This is the
result of one year of negotiations.
China has agreed to make two volun-
tary reforms. The first one is the recent
abolition of the rice tribute, which for
long time has been a sink of corruption.
The second, reform in the system of
examinations has just been authorized
by an imperial despatch to Ii Hung Chang.
This despatch, which approved the pre-
liminary edict and delayed the signature
of the protocol, was approved yesterday.
II annulled the old system of essays,
which are changed to the Western style
of answers to questions, in place OF the
traditional essay in eight divisions.
The old order of military examinations
is also abolished. The latter action is the
most significant reform of all. The new
board of state, which is charged with
the reorganization and reform of gov
ernment, will not act until the return of
the Court to Pekin and the functions of
the Chinese plenipotentiaries cease.

The marriage of Miss Mary Louisa Ew-

NJ. Ball. formerly of Virginia, took place
September 4 at $50 o'clock at the par
sonage of the NJ. p. Church. SIS Fourth
Street southeast. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. ]. w. Gray. On ac-
count of the recent death of the grooms
father it was a very quiet wedding, wit
messed only by the immediate family and
a few intimate friends. The bride was
handsomely attired in white and carried
bride roses. Miss Minnie Ball. sister of
the groom, was maid of honor and also
wore white. Mr.. Harry Ewing, of Rock
land, DEL brother of the bride, acted as
best man. The brides going-away dress
was a grey tailor-made cloth with hat and
gloves to match. The honeymoon will be
spent in Boston and Delaware. The couple
will return in about two weeks

3OMBARDING RIO HACHA.
Hostilitics Between Colombia and
Venezuela Probably Begun.

Hostilities between Colombia and Ven
ezuela have apparently begun. The fol-
lowing despatch from DR.. Ceberra, form
erly Colombian Minister at Washington
was received at the Colombian legation
here yesterday:
"Wnlemstadt Curacao. Sept l.
Venezuelan fleet is bombarding Rio
Facha. CEBERRA.
Earlier in the day despatch was re-
ceived from the Secretary of State in
Bogata as follows:
THE war in Colombia is rapidly dis
appearing. Frontier well guarded ana
generally quiet in those regions (1cua-
dorean and Venezuelan frontersl.
However. we fear simultaneous at
tacks from Ecuador, Venezuela ana
Nicaragua Colombia is disposed TO
accept the friendly mediation OF the
United States. Our attitude regarding
neighbors is pacific and we are OBJ
serving strict neutrality. GarbiTas IN
vasion of Venezuela generally con-
demned by the Colombian Govern
ment"
The Garbiras invasion of Venezuela
mentioned in the despatch was primarily
the cause of the existing strained rela-
tions between Colombia and Venezuela, as
the Garbiras force was made up within
the borders of Colombia and marched on
the Venezuelan frontier.
A third despatch from the Governor of
Panama was received at the Colombian
legation, saying that a simultaneous at
tack was feared on both Colon and
Panama.
The revolutionary element in Colom-
bia, the movers in the movement on Ven
ezuela and the unruly factors in the
present conciliatory attitude of Colombia. :"
said Secretary Herran of the Colombian
legation yesterday, ARE advanced radi-
calls who differ in degree perhaps but not
in kind from the Anarchists who are re-
sDonsible for the terrible crimes of late
years-the assassination of the late EN-
press of Austria, the assassination of
King Humbert, and the att-Hpt on the
life of President Mckinley. This radical
element was in power in Colombia for
twenty-five years, during which time
chaos reigned. The most severe punish
ment which could be meted out under the
liberal constitution, then in force, and for
the most terrible accumulation of crimes,
was ten years imprisonment. There was
unbridled license of the press Ind the
most deplorable conditions existed. The
remainder of the radical element which
then threatened to ruin Colombia is re-
sponsible for the trouble of the present"
