IMPORTANT DEVELOPMETS. 18 Will Send No 3iore Troops to China, p_ Wires Tampered With. 0- Washington, Aug. 28.?Action was r* taken by the war department this morning carrying out the recently announced n policy of this government to send no is more troops to China at present. An of order was sent to the department's agents at Kobe, Japan, to divert the 06 First United States cavalry and their animals from that port to Manila, instead of allowing them to proceed to ie Taku, according to their original orders. Another important development over a* night was General Chaifee's statement a" that he had not heard from the war department since Aug. 14, a fortnight ago. a News has come from China within P- that period of time, and the fact that s- nothing has gone forward to Chaffee and without doubt Minister Conger is ). in the same state, goes to oonflrm the officials here in the conviction that the wires are being manipulated, probably by the Chinese agents, between Che Foo 1- and Shanghai, the cable connection. The snbjeot may be made the basis of some strong representations to Sheng, ie Jhe Chinese director of posts and telegraphs.

Pretoria, Aug. 28.?Fightiug with iSotna's commandoes was resumeu mia morning. The Boers' lines were broken and the enemy fell back. The British casualties are reported to bo considerable. Lozexzo Marquez, Aug. 28.?Heavy fighting is reported to have occurred at Maehaaodarp. The Boers are said to have been defeated with great loss, leaving their guns and ammunition in the hands of the British. London, Aug. 28.?Lord Roborts' dispatches announce what many people here take to be the beginning of the last stage of the South African campaign. The commander-in-chief held a council of war with his lieutenants on Saturday and on Sunday began a general attack on General Botha's intrenched position on, which no impression had been made. Lord Roberts reports that the Boers are making a most determined resistance. Some think this is really General Botha's last stand, and that if defeated here he will be completely crashed. To judge by the fact that heavy reinforcements have been ordered to prepare to embark for South Africa in the next few days, the British war office does not believe that warlike operations are drawing to a close.

I met Buller at Bergeudal shortly after it was reached by our troops. I am glad to flud the occupation cost less than was feared, on acof the approach being across an open glacis for 2,000 or 3,000 yards and the determined stand of the enemy. I hope the casualties do not exceed 50 or 60. One officer was killed aud two were wounded. A good many Boers were killed and a pompom (quick firing gun) was captured.
