FIGHT NEAR BULUWAYO.
British Sofffr Defeat at Ike Haade
the Matabele.
Cape Town, April 27. Telegraphic
communication with Baluwayo was
reopened for t short time today, after
which there was another break. While
tie wire wa working dispatches were
received from several sources in the
beseiged town. The new is somewhat
ccnSictinfc. but the main fact seems
well established that a Entsi force
while cn a tcrtie encountered large
number of Matabeiet. killed perhaps
l.OvO, were at one time in danger cf
annihilation, and finally retreated.
The official Tersion of the sortie say
that ,the Eritish force, shortly after
midnight, was quietly called to" arms,
and without apparently alarming the
native part cf the town, a force cf 800
men, under command of Captains Na
pier and Duncan, with one Maxim gun
and a Hotcki&s quick-firing gun, mus
tered outside the barbed wire defences.
There they were served with a ration
cf rum and saddled for a dash at the
enemy's lines. Swords and all clatter
ing acccutrementa were deadened with
cloth, and the feet cf the horses, com
posing the advance-guard, were "bag
ged" ihocfs covered with strong sack
ing). Uwing to the precautions it was
necessary to take, there wa consider
able delay in getting off, and the first
streak cf gray on the horizon could be
seen when the column arrived within
striking distance of the enemy. The
latter were quietly camped " behind
their t-:ne-tcpped earthworks, about
four mile from Baluwayo. But. con
trary to expectation, "the Matabele
bsd thrown out picket, which al
though urpr.sd by the advance
goard. raised the alarm. Thi was no
sooner done than the trooper in ad
vance charged and thct down many of
the fleeing natives.

Constantinople, April 29. Ber.
George P. Knapp, tie American mis
sionary who was expelled from Bitlis
ty tie Turkish authorities without
trial, cn tie charge cf baring incited
the Armenians to rebel against Turk
ish rule, was surrendered to the
United States consul at Alexandretta.
Detail cf the affair which reached
here show that the step was not taken
until the United States warship had
been telegraphed for.
Knapp will probably, ty the advice
cf the United States representatives',
come to thi city and have bis conduct
t Bitlis investigated before the charge
d'affaires.
Mr. Knapp, as already cabled, was
expelled from Eilris about a month
ago, in spite of the agreement reached
between United States Minister Terrell
and the Turkish government (after the
charges against Mr. Knapp had been
discuiwo.: mat tne American mission

As it was tie missionary was com
pelled to leave Bitii before the rime
agreed upon and without his family.
When he reached Doarbeiir. in cus
tody, tie news was telegraphed here,
and tie Turkish gorernment positively
asserted that Mr. Knapp was the
"guest cf tie Tali cf that place and not
a prisoner." It is now stated that the
missionary has been a prisoner
throughout his journey to the coast,
and that the rali cf Aleppo detained
him at that place five days.while mak
ing futile e f orts to make him sign an
agreement not to return to Eitli. Mr.
Knapp steadily re'used to sign any
such agreement, cn the ground that he
had committed no crime and had in no
way broken tie laws cf the country,
and that the charges brought against
him were entirely unfounded. He also
distinctly gave tie rali to understand
that he intended to protest to the
United States government against his
expulsion from Eitlis. and his treat
ment in general, and to hold the Turk
ish authorities re possible for the safe
ty of his family.
When the rali saw it was useless to
continue his attempts to get Mr. Knapp
to sign the agreement mentioned the
missionary was allowed to proceed,
still treated as a prisoner, to Alexan
dretta. Mr. Biddie. during the past few
days, it is understood, ha been in com
munication with Washington regard
ing the case of Mr. Knapp. and it is
teiieved that a most seatching inquiry
will be made into ail the circum
stances attending the expulsion cf the
American missionary from Bitlis in or
der that no doubt shall remain as to
who is to blame in the matter, and in
order to establish a precedent which
may serve as a guide, should further
and similar occurrences te reported.
FOUR TONS EXPLODED.
Glaat Powder la Trradwell Mmgailne
Property.
Port Townsend, Wash , April 29.
The steamer Al-Ki arrived tonight from
Juneau and Sitka, with forty passen
gers and a light carga of freight. From

papers says:
"A risit to the spot in the morning,
as toon as it became light, disclosed a
hoile in the ground twelve or fifteen
feet deep, fifteen feet wide and about
twice at long. The snow for a space
of forty acres in extent, wa strewn '
with small pieces cf wood, not cne
piece of which could be found larger
than one's finger. The awful force of
the powder was shown by the trees and
stumps in the immediate Ticinity being
uprooted and tossed downhilL A boge
back cf snow lying at the back of the
house was shoved up the hill en masse
a distance of several feet, and a stomp
"" " oiameter, situated a short
dstance away, was split in twain. The
most diligent search fcr particle of
tbe remains of the unfortunate man re
sulted in finding cne eye, a piece of the
skull with sikn and hair attached, the
size of a half dollar.and a piece of skin
about as Urge as the palm of a man's
