BRITISH CRUElTIEs.-The English

"pig-stickiug" notoriety achieved by q

the soldiers that claim to be of the lead

stories are supported by alfidavits.
Delarey says that Boer women were
placed as a human screen around the
British troops as protection against
his attacks. He declares that a mum.
Der Of Boer women have already been
wantonly killed. Delarey's own wife,

THE BOER GENERALS.
They go to the Continent to Greet Kruger and
Stevn,
(By the Associated Press.)

10y the Associated PreSS.)
London, August 1S.-The Boer Gen
erals, Botha, DeWet and Delarey, en-
barked this afternoon on the steamer
Betavier, bound for oRtterdam. A large
crowd awaited the generals and cheered
the departing visitors.
Montague White, the former consul
general in London of the Transvaal, has
issued a statement, authorized by the
Boer generals, as follows:
1.-THE generals are proceeding to the
continent for the purpose of greeting
Mr.. Kruger and Mr.. Steyn, and attend
ing the funeral of General Lucas Meyer.
Their present intention is to return to
London at all early date for the transac-
ton of business, but they have not de-
cided on any fixed programme. During
their brief stay in London the generals
have been the recipients of many invita-
lions and kind messages of welcome which
they fully appreciate.
THE report that the decision of the
generals not to visit the naval review
was due to the influence of Mr.. Fischer,
is not true. Their real reason for de-
Ginning the invitation Saturday was that
they did not consider their attire quite
suitable for ceremonious visit, and
the necessary short notice conveyed to
them did not give them the time for ne
cessary preparations. They were glad,
however, of the opportunity of paying
their respects to the King on the follow
ing day after they had made the neces-
sary purchase and they are gratified at
the kind manner in which they were re-
ceived by His Majesty"
Captain O'Donnell, who served on De-
Vets staff throughout the war, starts
Immediately for America in order to pre-
pare the way for the visit of the gen.
erals. He says that altogether about 500
Americans and 500 Irishmen were with

Durham, N. c., Aug. 1S.-The three
story brick building, belonging to the es-
tate of the late r. G. Peasants. on the
corner Of Parrish and Corcoran streets,
has been practically wrecked by the fall
ing of the rear wall. On Saturday after
noon shortly after six O'Clock the north
west corner of the building fell with a
loud crash, and on Sunday morning the
whole rear wall crashed outward with
terrific noise. w. ]. Woods, who runs
saloon in the building, heard the
cracking of the paper on the walls Sat-
urday afternoon, and together with a
number of persons who were in the
bar at the time, rushed into the street
They had just gotten out when the crash
came. Sunday morning Mr.. Woods moved
his stock of liquors, ETC., to place of
safety in the building belonging to e. c..

that it was weakened from this cause
The loss will amount to several thousand
dollars, just exactly how much it is i'm
possible to estimate at the present time.
The wall on the Corcoran street side
is bulged several inches, and is liable
to fall almost any minute. If this does
go down, then the wall on the front side
will almost certainly fall, too
