TROOPS FIGHT THE“BOXERS” The Confict In China Begins In Earnest. MORE AMERICANS ARE LANDED Admiral Kempf and Minister Con ger Both Reiterate the Seri ousness of Situation. The secretary of the navy Ims re ceived the following cable from Ad miral Kempf, commanding the United States steamship Newark, lying at the Taku forts at the mouth of Pei Ho river, dated Taku, China, June 5: “Engagement has commenced. Have landed force of fifty sea men more —battalion of marines. “Kempf.” The cipher message is not entirely legible, and it is supposed at the navy department the admiral means that he has landed fifty seamen to reinforce the band of marines already ashore. Minister Conger, at Pekin, cabled Wednesday that the situation was ■worse at Pekin, and this statement, taken in connection with Admiral Kempff’s alarming cablegram, decided the state department to strengthen the naval forces nearest the scene of trou ble. According' v a cablegram was sent to Admiral Remey, at Manila, di recting him to dispatch at once to Ad miral KempfT’s command the gunboat Helena, or if that cralt is not at Ma nila and ready for immediate service, then some craft of correspondingly light draft and power. Dispatches from Shanghai state that the soldiers dispatched to attack the Boxers have fought an engagement quite close to Pekin. Many were killed on both sides. In consequence of the representa tions of Japanese the landing of a large Russian force to Taku is alleged to have been stopped. It is believed in Shanghai that should Russia persist in sending a prepondering military force to the front a collision with Japan will inev itably result. Alarming reports are current of the hurried completion of the mobilization of the Japanese fleet. News from Tien Tsin is to the effect that the Chinese servants of a Belgian engineer, who left Pao Ting Fu two days after the Belgians, saw five foreign and two Chinese dead bod ies in the grand canal, one being the body of a woman. A boxer placard threatens the extermination of the for eigners in Tien Tain on June 10th. Violent dissensions are reported to exist between the Chinese commander in-chief of the forces, Jung In, and Prince Ching Tuan, who, in accord ance with the wishes of the dowager empress, is strongly supporting the cause of the boxers. The mobs who murdered the Eng lish missionaries, Robinson and Nor man, mutilated aud disemboweled the bodies. “boxers” are semi-barbarians. More or less uncertainty and igno rance exists in the pnblic mind relative to the Chinese secret society known as the “boxers,” whose present activity threatens to precipitate the long an ticipated partition of the celestial em pire. According to The Loudon Daily Mail the Chinese Society of Boxers constitutes in reality a great clan of murderers, estimated to con tain in its ranks over 11,000,000 semi barbariins, well organized, well arm ed, and as savage in their fanaticism as the Soudan dervishes. The society was originally formed with the beneficent intention of pro tecting honest men in China from bandits. It was called Ta Tao Hwri, which means ’“The Society of the Great Sword,” a title which seems to have been changed at a comparatively recent date to the more familiar name which so often appears in our news papers just now. When and where the clan originated is not certain. A “PEACH” KESOLLTIOX Introduced In th* Senate By Mr. Mason, of IlUnole. A Washington dispatch says: Sena tor Mason introduced the following resolution Monday: “The United States hereby ex presses the hope that the war in South Africa may cease at an early day upon terms of fairness to both England and the Transvaal.’’ Boer Peace Envoys At Cleveland. The Boer envoys and their party re ceived a number of callers at Cleve land, 0., Monday morning. At 1:30 p. m. they gave a reception, several hundred people attending. ROBERTS’ PROGRAM Cannot Be Prognosticated Until Further Particulars—Boer Army Intact. I ntil the situation in the neighbor oood of Pretoria is enlightened the officials in Loudon, as well as others, will flnd difficulty iu prognosticating Lord Roberts’ immediate program. It appears evident that the Boer commander-in-chief, General Botha, with all his gnus, withdrew in good order, probably along the Dolngoa bay railroad with the view of joining President Kruger. So the Transvaal forces remain practically intact with President Kru ger; President Hteyn and General Botha aud Secretary of State Reitz all safe and iu a position to continue the direction of affairs. The most opti mistic see iu the fact that President Kruger’s wife and General Botha’s wife were left at Pretoria, an indica tion that the president does not count on a long resistance, iu any case it will probably take Lord Roberts at least a week to organize a campaign of pursuit. Wednesday Lord Roberts telegraph ed to the war office as follows: Pretoria, June 5, 5:35 p. m.—The occupation of the town passed off most satisfactorily, aud the British flag is now hoisted on top of the government offices. The troops mot with a much more enthusiastio reception than I anticipated. The Third battalion of the Grenadier Guards lined the square when the march p>ast took place. Owing to their having been on duty at some distance around the town, very few cavalry aud infantry were able to fake part in the ceremony. Several of our officers who had been prisoners were among the onlookers. FIGHTING NEAR PRETORIA. Some dispatches are to hand which left Pretoria Monday while the fight ing was going on outside the city. They come by way of Lourcuzo Mar ques. One of them says: “Toward the end of the day, when the British naval guns were shelling the southern forts, a number of pro jectiles burst, damaging the suburb. All day armed burghers have been leaving Pretoria, going east. The greater part of the railway rolling stock bus been removed. “General Botba was fighting an essentially reur guard action, his ob ject being not to defend Pretoria but to delay Lord Roberts until the rail way switch bad been cleared and the main part of the Boer army bad started to withdraw. The British advance ap pears to have left open to the Boers the best line of retreat along the rail way.” CAXXOX HELD HOUSE. Adjournment Program W Not Carried Out In Consequence. A Washington special says: After everybody bad felt assured of adjourn ment Wednesday evening without any trouble the Republicans of the bouse got into a wrangle among themselves and the result was a recess until Thursday at 10 o’clock. The cause of trouble was the item intended to take from the coast and geodetic survey much of its work and baud it over to the navy. The navy people have been palling bard for this and the senate has been with them, but the house, under the special leadership of Cannon, chair man of the appropriations committee, has made a fight for the coast and geodetic survey, claimiug that the senate provision would kill that branch of the government. Cannon attacked the house confer ees, chargiug that they bad not acted in good faith. This brought on a general fight with Foss, chairman of the committee, and Grosvenor and others. There were charges and coun ter charges of a highly interesting na ture and these brought in the sharpest kind of an exchange of personalities. Finally Cannon succeeded in doing something that is very seldom done, and that was to briug about the sub stitution of anew set of conferees. CAUUHT OX TRESTLE. Two Children Cruehed lo Death and An other I’.adly Injured. A special from Selma, Ala., says: As Mrs. Harper, Birdie Buttles, a young lady and Hugh and Edward Buttles, small boys, attempted to cross a tres tle about half a mile from Lake La nier, they were run down by the Southern passenger train from Merid ian. Horror stricken, they screamed and made an eflbrt to get off the tres tle, but too late, the irou monster was upon them, carrying death, instant and fearful, in its wake. Mrs. Harper hastily jumped from the trestle into the small stream be low, and escaped injury. Birdie Buttles was struck by the en gine, instantly killed aud horribly mangled. Hugh Suttles was also struck and instantly killed, his body being man gled almost beyond recognition. Edwin, the other brother, escaped with his life, but one arm was terribly mangled, and it is a question whether or not he will recover from the shcck. 11l Will IHICIHI, Winder, Georgia.
