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.

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.

Official dispatches received In diplomat
ic quarters in Washington show that the
rioting in Peking has renched an acute
stage, with the rioters directing a number
of their assnultB against members of the
different foreign legations there. One of
these dispatches states that the secretary
of the Belgian legation was twice
attacked on Monday and escaped aft
er being maltreated by the mob. On

Mantchoo advisers, provided they prom
ise to amend their future conduct."

UPHOLDS THE EMPRESS.
Professor Starr Sajs She Sbonld Hot
Be Criticised For Her Attitude.
CHICAGO. 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."
