Final Battle ut Boer War. London, June 29. Outside of minor conflicts in the Orange river colony, snowing continued Boer activity in the Senekal district, the telegrams from Sjuth Africa merely indicate prepara tions for, it is hoped, the final operations of the tediously prolonged war. A Cape Town dispatch reports an at tempt by the Boers to blow up the ar tillery barracks and magazine at Pre toria. It adds that an artilleryman, who frustrated the attempt by the withdraw ing of a lighted fuse, was killed by a Boer, whom the soldiers afterwards at tempted to lynch. The British authorities are deporting large numbers of Hollanders to Holland, to be dealt with by their own govern ment for not observing the state of neutrality declared by the Netherlands. President Steyn is reported to be at Bethlehem consulting with General DeWet.

A dispatch to the Herald from Canton says: While the general situation here is un changed, an uneasy feeling prevails. An imperial inundate from Pekin directs Viceroy LI Hung Chand to remain in Canton fur the present. An uprising is feared in case of his departure. The numerous daily criminal executions by order of the viceroy show his realization of the serious condition of affairs and his firm intention to prevent trouble. lie is threatened by the mob with assaesina if he should ieave the city. Well-to-do residents have ottered Li Hung Chang 5,000,000 taels . (13,500,000) for the purpose of organising a mnnieipnl guard in the city. The viceroy appreciates the confidence and gratitude of the people, sd promises to do his utmost to main tain order. The majority of the foreign women and children have left for Hong Konor Macao.

There is etronj influence against the Celestials, f jrby their industrious habits they gradually obtain monopolies in all retail trade, but on the other hand, the Filipinos themselves hava no energy and bo commercial instinct." THE OFFI CIAL REPORT Oregon Rao Aground in a Dense Fog Iris Going to Her Assistance. Washington, June 30. The following iif patches w ere received at the navy de partment relative to the grounding of the Oregon : "Che Foo, June 29. Secretary of the navy : Anchored yesterday during a dense fog in seventeen fathoms, three miles south of How Ke Light, Gulf of Pe Chi Li. Sent out two boats and sounded ; least water five nud a half fathoms. Weather clear. Got under way and f truck Pinacle rock. Much water in for ward compartment. Perfectly smooth.

The point where the Oregon grounded is fifty miles west northwest of Che Foo. Taku is 150 miles west of Pinnacle rock, where the struck. Pinnacle rock is about 25 feet high, is encircled by a shoal, and hhonld not be approached nearer than throe cables. According to the Hydro- graphic Bureau officials, there is a strong current of from three to five knots' speed always prevalent in this vicinity, and this fact, together with the dense fog that prevailed at the time, greatly en hanced the danger of navigating the Oregon. , The officials of the Naval Hydrograph er's ollice say there is a great rise and fall of the tide at this point about 10 feet and it is possible that the Oregon may have been lifted bv the water and set all i.st without assistance. Captain Wilde's statement of the in juries sustained by the Oregon is scarcely sufficient to enable the navy constructors here to form a definite opinion as to the prospects of saving the famous ship They say, however, that the ship proh ably can he saved if the weather does not become rough, but, unfortunately this is the season of storms in Chinese waters. At the request of the secretary of the navy, the state department today sent a message to the Russian government at St. Petersburg, asking permission to take the Oregon to Port Arthur to be docked there in the event tha'. the ship can be floated. It may be said that, from the facts set out in Captain Wilde's cablegram, the ollicials are not inclined to censure him. lie was under orders to hurry, warranting the assumption of risk. He appears tojhave observed all of the nsunl precautions possible under such orders, and it is known that the charts of that section are inadequate. Mr. Wu, the Chineo minister, said this particular spot was a graveytrt! of shipping.

During the lull at republican heudqnarters, there is more or less general discussion, today the ship subsidy bill coming up. The opinion teems to prevail that this bill will pass at the next session. The friends 0! the n eaenro now go so far as to assert that the bill will pass regardless ot whether the next House will be repub lican or democratic. They say that the only opposition that rendered the fate of the bill doubtful baa been placated, as the Westerners who originally thought the bill discriminated in favor of Atlantic shipping have had concessions made, which will include a fair proportion of the Pacific ships of American make, to hold Bacilli!

The consular body at Tien Tsin has unanimously proposed to their governments, as the sole means of giving the foreigners at Pekin, that the united powers should inform the Chinese authoiilies that the graves of the an cestors of the imperial family at Pekin will be destroyed if the foreigners at iekm, especially tho ministers, ore harmed. It is understood that Great Britain is now disposed to adhere to tho proposal. Washington, July 2. Cable advices from Admiral KemplTthis morning fully confirm previous report of the mur der o Von Ketteler, the German minister at Peki::. The admiral also represents the situation of the ministere as moBt des perate. The shortage of their food sup plies reported by Admiral KempfT, gives rise to the gravest apprehension. Hav ing been taken to Taku by runner the dispatch represented the ministers' con dition at least five days ago, and there is reason to fear that tho worst has hap pened in the interim. Admiral KempfiVs favorable report of Hie condition of the Oregon is believed by Secretary Long to he based on the report of the commander of the Japanese vessel, which generously oll'ered assist ance. No further reinforcements have been ordered to China, military or naval. Story or Mlave. To be tonnd hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of Blaveiy. George I).

Nine insurgent leaders including Generals Pio Del Pilar, Concepcion, Garcia and Alvarez, were released upon taking tho oath of al legiance to the government and renounc ing all connection with the revolution in the Philippines, together with making a formal acknowledgment of American sovereignty. This dull is much stronger and mote binding than the ooth which Gen.

It is hoped that these nine leaders will influence their men to take ad vantage of the amnesty proclamation which lias tli in far been without results other than those of today. long, exteuuing outward from the actual shore line to tie bulkheads, from fiOO to 1000 feet away, and caught four great ocean liners and dozen or more smaller harbor craft in their grasp. Stories in regard to the loss of life are conflicting, the number being variously estimated at from 50 to COO. Up to mid night ten bodies had been recovered, but they were all so badly burned and black ened that identification was impossible. The hospitals in New York, Hoboken and Jersey City are crowed with tnjuied and men are being brought in by scores VreTcnteri a lrily.
