1 J THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. DEFEAT OF DE WET. Victory For Kitchener and Methucn at Rhenoster. Boers Scattered and British Communication Reopened. Roberts In a Stubborn Fight With Botha, but the Latter Was Not Defeated. LONDON'. June 13. Afti-r o wrek's silence Lord Itoberts litis Iwimi lieiiril from, his line of couiuiunioiitiutis liavint; lrn practically restored ly uii'iuim of u complete rictiiry en I nod by (irncrnU Methucn and Kitchener over (icticrnl Io Wet at the Hhenowti-r river yexteiday, June 12. The Itocr cnmi was captured, and the burghers, It is added, were scat tered in nil directions. Lord Roberta, on being notified of the cutting of his line of conitiniiiiintiiuitt, aent (ieneral Kitchener in nil haste to Join (teneral Metbueu. .Tune 1 1 Lord Kolterts attacked Jeneral Hot ha, who was in strong force 1" miles southeast of Pretoria. After strenuous opposition the British forces gained considerable ground, but (ieneral Botha, when Lord Itoberts left the field, waa still undefeated. All ia quiet at Pretoria and Johannes burg, and Lord Roberts says the govern ment need have no npprehetisiou about the security of the army in South Africa, as it will not take long to remedy the reverses and repair the railroad. SITUATION AT PRETORIA. A lengthy dispatch forwarded to the war office by Major tSeneral Knox from Krnonstadt, presumably sent there, by messenger, reads as follows: "We have been requested to forward you from Lord Roberts the following dispatch from the Pretoria residency at 8:0N a. m. today: " 'Pretoria and Johannesburg are per fectly quiet, and several of the inhabit ants have expressed gratitude for the peace and order which prevail. " 'After aurrendering the city Botha retired to a place about 15 miles east on the Middlebuxg road. Me had a small force at first, but during the last few days his numbers increased, and his be ing so near the town kept up the excite ment in the country, prevented the burghers from laying down their arms ml interfered with the collection of sup plies. It therefore became necessary to attack him. This I did yesterday. lie held a very strong position, practically unassailable In front, which enabled him to place the main portion of his troops en his flanks, which he knew from for mer experience were his vulnerable parts. I sent French with Porter's and Dixon's cavalry brigades and Mutton's mounted Infantry round by our left and lan Ham- , . : .u T, s l . i . . iiiou, wuu uruiiuim nuu uuiuwi airy brigade. Ridley's mounted infantry and Bruce Hamilton's infantry brigade round by our right. Both columns met with great opposition. At about 3 in the afternoon I saw two of Hamilton's in fantry battalions advancing to what ap peared to lie the key of the enemy's de fense on their left flank. This was al most gained before dark, and I ordered the force to bivouac on the ground they had won. POLB-CAItEW'S MOVEMENTS. ' 'Pole-Carew, with his division, occu pied our center. '"As I have explained, he could not attack, but he gradually advanced, so as to support Ian Hamilton, nnd when I left the field he was on the line held by the enemy's outposts in the morning. " 'I hurried back to get news of Meth uen's movement. On hearing that the Free Stuters had taken advantage of our crossing the Vaal to interrupt our line of communication I sent Kitchener with such troops ns I could then spare to Yer V rede fort? with orders to push south and communicate with Methucn, who. I knew, had a very compact force in the vicinity of Ileilbron. I also dispatched a special messenger to Methucn, instruct ing him to push on at all speed to the main line of railway. These two officers met nt Vredcfort road station in the evening of June 10. They marched yes terday to Rhenoster river, where Met li nen gained a complete victory over De Wet and took possession of his camp and scattered his troops in all directions, lie and Kitchener marched today toward Kroonstadt. " 'Her majesty! government need have no apprehension as to the security of the army in South Africa. The enemy gain ed a slight success, which was unfortu nate, but which will be remedied very shortly, and it will not take long to re pair the damage done to the railway. As these diversions are oil in existence, I nm now able to hold the line between this and Rhenoster in strength. Methucn will arrange to guard it onward as he advances. " 'Hunter should be at Potchefstroom today. He will then move on Johannes burg. " 'We have communicated with Bnller, who will no doubt soou make the pres ence of his force In the field felt. " 'Our losses yesterday were not, I trust, serious, but I deplore the death of that gallant soldier, the Earl of Airlie. The only other casualties reported ns yet are: Seventeenth lancers Major the Hon. Lionel Fortescue aud Lieutenant the Hon. C. Cavendish, both killed.' " General Knox adds that Kroonstadt Is quite safe. REGARDED AS SATISFACTORY. Lord Roberts' dispatch is regarded ns emiueutly satisfactory. It ends a period of suspense caused by the cutting of his line of communications and indicates what a strong grip-he has ou the situ ation. The result of the battle between Lord Roberts' forces aud those of General Botha is eagerly awaited here, but it is lielieved the Boer commander will only complete his retirement, which he seems to have already commenced, though there is some hope in Loudon, that Lord Rob erts will be able to surround him. The decisive victory scored by Gcuerals Metuuen and Kitchener is regarded as likely to have a more farreaehing effect than any recent action in the Orange River Colony. General Kitchener's progress south, it Is believed, must have almost equaled the records of all forced marches. His detachment from headquarters was a merely routlno procedure, us the chief ot st.'ifT is responsible for the line of com munications. (ieneral I!til!er Is rapidly fulfilling Lord Roberts' hope that lie will make his forces felt. A dispatch from HoiibeH's fa l 111. under today's date, announces the continuation of Holler's successful march, the occupation of Volkrust with out opposition pint the capture of n num ber of prisoners, while the Boer casual ties yesterday are repotted to have been very heavy. A special dispatch from Cape Town reports that the Boers re cently captured it train at Suinldeel and destroyed two miles of the line. But subsequent dispatehes show that (Ien eral Hunter routed all the Boers in that neighborhood. The Karl of Airlie. whoso death Lord Roberts deplores, was one of the most popular members of the nobility and commanded the Twelfth lancers. Lieutenant Cavendish was the son and heir of Lord C'hesham. Major I'nrtociie was formerly aid-decamp to Lord Seymour in Canada. PLEDGED TO BRYAN. Ohio Democrats Indorse Chi cago Platform and Demand Nebraskan's Nomination. COLUMBUS, O., June M.-Tho Dem ocratic state convention was called to order at the Auditorium at 11 o'clock by the Hon. W. S. Thomas of Springfield, chairman of the state central committee. Portraits of Bryan, Thurman, Jackson, McLean and others wre conspicuous in . the hall. I After prayer by Rev. John Hewitt, Chairman Thomas addressed the conven tion on the work of the past year and the prospects for the present political year. The following temporary organiza tion was announced: Chairman, Webster i P. Huntington of Columbus; secretary, ' Louis Rceiiielin of Cincinnati, and ser-geant-at-arms, John MeCurty of Pe nance. i Chairman Huntington was received with great applause and made the key note speech of the convention. The following are the principal planks of the platform: "We leatltrm our adherence to the Democratic national platform adopted at Chicago in ls'.si. But new and grave Issues have arisen, threatening the safety of free government Itself, which should command at this time the most serious attention of all patriotic citizens. "We enter our protest againet the doc trine that the president or congress can govern acquired territory outside and In dependently of the constitution of the United States as a doctrine utterly sub versive of every foundation principle of our government. "We denounce the Porto Rican tariff bill as a palpable violation of the doc trines of the fathers and of the funda mental principles of our government, which is based upon equal rights to all." The platform denounces trusts and monopolies, favors the removal of all duties from imports monopolized by tmtats find slso demands the nsctartfnt n,i enforcement of such legislation as ... . . win nrcveiit every snecies of a scrimina tion. It denounces the "currency law passed by the present congress, which transfers to the banks the entire control of the paper currency, thus laying the foundation for a money trust which will have power to control the prices of all property and to stimulate or strangle ! business. In conclusion it says: "We affirm anew our undiminished I faith In the acknowledged leader of our I party, William J. Bryan, and demand his l uoijiiiini ion ni tniiR.is tiiy mr presiueui ' of the United States, nnd the delegates , elected by this convention are Instructed to so cast their votes." Postal Fraud Developments. HAVANA. June 13.-The Post this morning publishes a sensational story connected with the postal frauds. It says it has an attested communication from Fred Spencer, the hospital nurse who attended Inspector Maynard during his last illness, alleging that the patient was called upon by two postal officials who persuaded Mr. Mayunrd, when he was in a semiconscious state, to sign im portant postal documents. The next day the patient died. Spencer expresses the belief that the securing ot the signature must have been a very important matter, as two men holding such positions as those held by the callers would not hnve risked contracting yellow fever for any light reason. Spencer, the paper an nounces, gives the names of the men In question, but The Post does' not publish them, simply saying that both are promi nently connected with the postal frauds.

The United States consul at Chefu has informed the state department of Boxer disturbances at that place, but no particulars were furnished. Chefu Is on the northern coast of the Sbangtung peninsula.

The young Englishmen held the attacking party back for a time, but when the mob threatened to close in on them they drew revolvers nnd by a show of force mnde their retreat without bod ily Injury. MAY FORGIVE TS! AN. Tbe Powers Ileported to Hnve Ar mnicril Oasis of Settlement. HONGKONG, June 13.

Professor Fred erick Starr, head of the department of anthropology at the University of Chi cago, in addressing the students on tho Chinese question asserts that the dow ager empress was justified in her action aud that a protectorate established by the powers would be a failure. Ir. Starr, who hus made a special study of the Chinese, said In part: "The dowager empress should not be criticised for her attitude toward tbe missionaries. The Boxers are a new organization, formed to do away with conditions which have become intolera ble. The party of the empress will suc ceed eventually, because any scheme to deter her by a coulitiou of the powers, such as is proposed at present, will be a fuilnre. If control pusses from China's hands, it will drift into Russia's. A joint protectorate of the powers would come to the same end as the protectorate in tgypt. The control aud filially the pos session of the country would pass to the strongest power. In Egypt England triumphed. "There are four possibilities of the outcome of affairs in China: First, the dowager empress will come out victo rious; second, the so called emperor may be restored under a coalition of the for eign powers; third, China may be divided among the nations; fourth, Russia may seize China. "The only probabilities are the first nnd fourth. The partition of China among the nations would lend to the de velopment of a warlike spirit in the Chi nese themselves, which would unite the nation and give it a strung sway us a world power."
