The Third cavalry brigade crowned a hill on each aide of the main road and Bethuen attacked by the Homeroy road from three sides. The enemy hurriedly abandoned the position which they had strongly entrenched ~ retired to the nek in front of Help whence wo hope to dislodge no many of them have retired. Wo have gained the summit of the Berg with the loss of only a few men wounded. I am advancing on Beith and Hildyard moves on Weasel's nek. "Our small loss, I think, was certainly due to the excellent troop leading of General Hamilton and Lord Dondonald and Colonel Bethuen." A second dispatch says: "The enemv evacuated Helpmaakr Nek during the night, leafing a rear gourd of about 1,000 men in front of us. Thons we have j orced back throughout the day under considerable difficulties, as they fired all th ? grans on top of the borg as they retreated, aud the wind be inn unfavorable to us, we were scarcely able to see at all. I halted the infantry who marched very well through the hot smoke at Beith. ?'We havo taken a few prison*th. Our casualties are hi nail."

Harmony Prevails Between Trans* vaalers and Free Staters. New York, May 17.?Beyond a drive through Central park and the local places of interest no program was ar? ranged for the Boer envoys. They spent the forenoon in answering telegram? and letters from more than 60 cities in the United States from where they had been received. An effort is being made to so arrange I a plan that tho envoys can visit a ids jority of the cities. C. H. Wessels, oue j of the envoys, discredited the cable dis patch to tho effect that President Steyn of the Orange Free Slate is said to have lashed the Free Staters to make them hght. Mr. Wessels was also asked concern? ing the English advances and successes reported iu recent cables. He said: "Everything in general is according to the plan of action prepared for some time. Every time we fail back it in given out aa a British success, but it is all a preconcerted plan and does not hurt ns iu any way. The final crisis has not yet come. What I consider the crucial test will be- at the Vaal river near Pretoria. I do not think that the stories published about the British suc? cesses are neutral mews, but highly opti? mistic from a British standpoint." Reception la Washington. Wj shinqton, May 17.?No one con? nected with the Boer delegation in New York has yet commun cated with the state department in relation to the re? ception of the delegates in Washington by the authorities. Only by indirect means has it become known to the offi? cials that the delegates will reach here within the next three days and that a public demonstration is lading arranged in their honor. _ BRITISH PRESS COMMENT. j Boer Envoy* Are Regarded aa Play thing* For Amerieaaa.

BOERS TO SUE FOR PEACE Report From Pretoria That Overtures Will Be Mude to England to End the War?Commandant Botha Cuptured. Buller Takes Many Prisoners. Lorenzo Marquez, May 19.?Fivo hundred refugees who have arrived here agree in stating that Mafeking ha* been relieved. The end of the war ii anticipated by the queen's birthday May 24._ London, Mav 18 ?There is a lack ol fresh news from South Africa this morn* ing,' but details of post operations tend to confirm the view that the end of the war is within measurable distance. From Krooustadt comes a story, attrib? uted to excellent authority, to the effect that a peace party is being formed at Pretoria, while reports at Pretoria itseli indicate discouragement at the recent reverses and the possibility of an early suing for peace. There is nothing to throw light oil the mystery of Mafeking. The usual crop of rumors were stored on the Stock Exchange and elsewhere, based mostly on the fact that this day, May 18, is the earliest date on which Lord Roberts held out to Mafeking the prospects of relief. The national anxiety is strained almost beyond endurance, although nowhere ifl there the slightest doubt that Colonel Baden-Powell will keep the union jack | flying. On the line of Lord Roberts' advance, the only important news is that the Boers have blown up a bridge over the Rhenoster river, 17 miles north of Kroonstadt. Lord Roberta' Report. The following is the text of Lord Rob-1 ?arts' dispatch from Kroonstadt to the I war office: "Methuen has entered Hoopstadt un? opposed. Generals Du prey and Daniels and 40 men have surrendered. " Broad wood occupied Lindley after alight opposition. Only two of our men were wounded. Steyn was not there, as his government officials hod left lost Sunday. j "H?ttoni mounted infantry surprised and captured, about So miles northwest of this place, Commandant Botha, Field Cornet Gansen, five Johannesburg po? licemen aud 17 Boers. There were no casualties on our side. ??Buller reports that several Natal fanners are handing in arms." Commandant Botha C iptlircd. It has just been officially announced that General Methuen has entered Hoopstadt unopposed, and that Genends Duprey and Daniels and 40 meu have surrendered and that General Broad wood also occupies Lindley. | It is further announced that Hntton'n mounted infantry surprised and cap? tured Commandant Botha and 23 other* ?0 miles northwest of Kroonetadt. Buller Takes Prisoners. Dannhauser, May 19.?General Bul? ler has found a number of rebels at their homes and arrested them. The Boers north of Newcastle ore falling bock on Amajaba. The Boers thought the two doctors had an ambulance here. EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON. lOaer Envoys Met In New York by Committee. New York, May 19.?The Boer dele? gates left this afternoon for Washing? ton. The committee appointed by citi? zens of Washington to escort the visitor* to the national capital have arrived aud v.'ero received by the envoys. The dele? gation was composed of Senator Allen and Congressman Robinson of Nebraska, Representatives Rogers and Daly of New Jersey, and Sulzer of New York, and O. T. Bride of Washington and Cornelius Yauderhoef of Baltimore. After they had been introduced to the Boor delegates Mr. Sulzer formally iu vited them to Washington and Mr. Fiseher made a brief response. Mr. Yauderhoef invited the delegates to visit the west. One of the delegates shaking in refer? ence to the report that the Boon were in this OOUhtry under the auspices of the Boer government said: "The envoys are not here under any body's auspices. They come with cre? dentials from the Transvaal and Orange Free State. _ HE DREW TWO PENSIONS Sard er is Arrested (a Ualveston Charged With Fraud.

Attack British Foragers. Battle Reported From Mulcking. Lorenzo Marquez, May 17.?A Por? tuguese official dispatch says an encoun? ter has occurred at Mafeking and that the Boers have been repulsed with heavy losses. London, May 17.?The most impor? tant developments today is the state? ment cabled from Capo Town announc? ing that the Boer delegates had advised the Transvaalers to surrender if de? feated at the Vaal. This remarkable announcement is vouched for on good authority and evidently obtains more cre? dence in Cape Town thau would a mere rumor. I The occupation of Gleucoe was merely a logical result of General Bailer's ad? vance. As usual the Boers are reported I to be flying precipitately, but also as usual the accounts add that their trans? port trains were removed in safety, whioh is a contradiction of any state? ment that the Boers were panic stricken. Nothing further has been heard from Maf eking and it is reasonable to suppose that the conditions there are unchanged. The prolongation of the siege only in? tensifies Great Britain's anxiety to hear of its relief. About 1,100 more troops have arrived at Beira, Portuguese East Africa. Among them is Lord Dun raven, who ac? companies the Craven sharpshooters. Apparently Lord Roberts is still wait? ing at Kroonstadt, preparatory to mak I ing a swift movement on the Vaal river. Boers Resort to Tieachery. London, May 17.?The war office has posted the following from Lord Roberts: "Two officers and six men of Prince Alexis guards, while out a few miles from Kroonstadt, visited a farm flying a white flag, the owner of which surren? dered himself with arms and ammuni? tion. They theu approached another farm also flying a white flag, when within 40 yards of the enclosure they were fired upon by l? or 16 Boers con? cealed behind the form wall. Two of tho men were killed, Lieutenant F. B. Walton was wounded and Lieutenant W. B. De verton and two non-commis? sioned officers were taken prisoners.' Bullcr Occupies Glencoe. London, May 17.?The war office has I posted the following from General Bui : ler: 44 We havo occupied Gleucoe. The Transvaalers havo now evacuated Big garsburg. The Free Staters on the Drakensborg are much reduced in num? bers. The Carolina Lydenborg and Pre I toria commandoes trekked north from I Hlatikulo on May 13 and 14 with 11 guns. The guns were entrained at Gleucoe. The hist train with ambulance left thene at dawn May 15." ALABAMA COAL IN DEMAND. Several Companies to Be Formed?New Fields to Be Opened. Birmingham, Ala., May 17.?There i9 a very heavy demand on the coal mines in this district. The reports from Cin? cinnati, Louisville and other points that coal famines are likely to result if the rivers go down and prevent the ship? ments to large towns of coal from Penn? sylvania do not give much encourage? ment to the operators hi Alabama, for the latter have as much business as they can handle. I New companies are being organized and other preparations being made to keep or increase the production. Miners are in demand at several of the collieries in this state- Other companies are to be organized shortly. CAT CAUSES SERIOUS FIRE. Upsets Lamp In the Residence of R. K. L. Miller. Atlanta, May 17.?A cat turned a lamp over in a second story bed cham? ber of R. E. L. Miller's residence, 04 East Ellis street, with tho result that the upper portion of the house was badly damaged by tire and the adjoining resi? dence of W. R. Lipscomb on the left and that of Mrs. William Benson on the right were also considerably burned on the roof. The occupants of the house were asleep, and those In the Miller residence, who included live children, had a nar? row escape. Two Days' Crime Record. Montoomkry, Ala., May 17.?follow? ing is a record of two days' crime in this community: Leonard Whitten, a negro hack driver, was assassinated by a negro passenger. Hush Zeigler, u Montgomery negro, was killed at Tallassee. Bob Diokson of Lowudesboro shot and Killed a negro. A white man named Coles was knocked in the head on Commerce ?treet and is in a critical condition. A citizen of Sandy Ridge was knocked in the head and robbed of money and val? uables.

THE T ). New AN OBJECT LESSON OF THE CONVENTION Product of Industrial Schools and Textile Exhibits. GOODS FOE THE EAR EAST An Interesting Comparison Is Stade of American and English Made Cloths. Progress of the Negro In Evidence by Normal School Exhibit. Chattanooga, May 17.?The South? ern Industrial convention in a body, ac? companied by a large delegation of Chattanooga citizens, devoted the fore? noon to an inspection of the industries located in this city. General Joseph Wheeler has arrived. He will deliver an address on "The South and Its Relations to the Trade of the Philippines and the Orient." The great object lesson of the convention is the exhibit in the auditorium, where the sessions are held, of products of indus? trial schools and the textilo exhibits by the Philadelphia Commercial nHiseuni. One of the best exhibits is made by the Agricultural and Mechanical col? lege of Normal, Ala., an institution for negroes, which is sustained, partially, by government appropriation. In this college are now about 500 students from 30 different states and several from Af? rica, of both sexes. In its 25 years of existence the college has graduated 584 students from its mechanical depart? ment and 299 from the literary. The President of the college, Professor W. H. Council, will address the conven? tion on a phase of the race problem. The delegates were deeply impressed with the progress shown among the negro students along this industrial and other lines. The Philadelphia museum has a large exhibit of textile, such as the southern manufacturers can produce in competi? tion with other countries. Dr. Wilson, in charge of the museum, and Dr. Green will appear before the convention and explain their plan of gaining and dio seminating information to those want? ing to branch out into foreign markets. Among the articles displayed are tex? tiles made in England for the Chinese trade, dress goods made in Turkey, English made goods for the Turkish market, samples of goods made in America aud offered in the Smyrna market, but refused on account of in? ferior fl.uish, English textiles made for Australia, Germany yarn fabrics and many others, which it is claimed are inferior to the products of the southern textile mills and the exportation of which the American manufacturer has not profitably engaged. Hon. James A. Wilson, secretary of agriculture, addressed the convention on "The Agricultural Interests of the South." _ WIPED OUT BY YELLOW FEVER All Hut Three Members of an Opera. Company Dead. Rio de Janeiro, May 17.?One of the most disastrous accidents that ever befeU an opera company was the almost com? plete destruction by yellow fever of an Italian opera company which gave per? formances recently in the city of Ma noria, Amazonias, and other cities on the Central Brazil. Signor Alotink was first taken with the fever. Shortly after his death the leading prima donna, Theresa Zceichi, developed symptoms of the fever, which frightened her into hysterics. In a paroxysm she bit her tongue through and bled to death. Twelve members of the company were then taken with the fever and died, three only surviving. Those who escaped took their departure from the country for Genoa. STRIKERS WILL NOT YIELD. They Demand the Reinstatement of All Old Employe*. St. Louis, May 18.?Although the basis of settlement of the street railway strike, which was agreed to by the grievance committee and the Transit company officials, has been rejected by the executive committee of the street railway employes an early settlement is looked for. The ix)i;it which caused the executive board of the employes to reject the prop? osition was the clause iu regard to the reinstatement of the old men. The com? pany offered simply to rein state all the old employes, but the executive board decided that this oiler should be amend? ed so that the old employes should be reinstated to the position held whon the strike was declared. The Transit com? pany, however, claims that some mem bow have been guilty of criminal acts sine ? the si like. Tli i Transit company has only be >n able to ^ri" into operation a few more than mill its 22 lilies and these are not running the full number of cars ha udh j 'for ? tiii- trouble began.

New Orleans Is Selected as the Next Meeting Place. Chattanooga, May 18.?Two of the most important features of the In? dustrial convention was the discussion of the race problem and the question of compulsory arbitration. The free and open discussion of the race problem was inaugurated by this convention at its first meeting in Huutr. ville, Ala., six months ago and the in? terest created was such j*s to produce wide comment and a general demand that the discussion along the same line should be continued at future meetings of the body. Speeches were made by leaders of the negro race, Professor W. H. Council, principal of the Agricultural and Me? chanical college for negroes, at Normal, Ala., and H. T. Keating, editor of The A. M. E. Church Review of Philadel? phia. On the part of the whites the subject was discussed by Rev. W. J. Cole. Compulsory arbitration proved to be one of the most interesting subjects before the convention. Papers were read by Hon. J. W. Faxon, cashier of the First National bank of this city; John T. Wilder, pension agent for the southern district, and N. F. Thompson, secretary of the Southern Industrial convention. Mrs. Duncan of the International Board of the Young Woman's Christian association addressed the convention at night on features of the industrial work. The election of president and selec? tion of place for the next meeting were special orders of business before the Southern Industrial convention this morning. The resignation of Hon. W. A. MacCorklc as president was accepted and Hon. H. H. Hargrove of Shreveport, La., was elected to the position by accla? mation. A short address of acceptance was made by him in which he stated that the Tork of the development of the sout. " u states must Ixj along business lines m not by sentiment and that it can be done by unity of action. New Orleans was chosen as the place for the next semi-annual meetiug, the contest in the convention being between that city and Knoxville. President Hargrove took charge of the convention immediately upon his elec? tion. FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER. Manning Given Death Bantenec Dnn? can Sent Up For Life.
