The following dispatch has been received at the war )'Hce from Lord Roberts: "Pretoria, Aug. 23. Baden-Powell rescued lf0 British prisoners at Warm Baths. Aug. 22, and captured twenty cne Boers and a German artillery of ficer. "Buller's casualties Aug. 21, were seven killed and Captain Ellershaw ani 21 men wounded, and flv men missing.

Colonel MacKin non covered 224 miles In fourteen days." NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-A dispatch to th Tribune from London says: The government has published a num ber of confidential letters from promi nent politicians In England and at the Cape to Presld?nt Steyn and members if the Transvaal and Free State gov ernments. The correspondence Includes letters from Dr. Clark. M. P. and John E11K M. P. In addition to those of Henry Labouche're. which latter have already been printed In Truth. But the most Interesting documents In the collection are letters from Sir Henry De Vllliers, chief Justice of the Cape Colony and Mr. Merriman who was lately In the Cape cabinet and la now leader of his party in the colony, which sympathiie with the republic strongly. As both writers supported the Afrlkaidf?r case they were most emphatic 'n urging President Kruger, during the months preceding the out break of hostilities, to grant reasonable concessions to th ultlanders. De Vll liers. who was one of the commissioners to sign the convention of 1S81, goes so far as to declare that he would never hav? advised the British government to grant the Independence of the Trans vaal If he could have foreseen Kru ger's narrow. ollar.;h'jl policy. Mr. Marrlman writes in the same strain. He directly warns the president that continued denial of political rights to the ultland?rs must provoke an ex plosion, and draws a vivid picture of the evils which the reactionary atti tude of the dominant party in the Transvaal was bringing upon the coun try. The whole correspondence will doubtless supply material in the com Irg general election to ministerial speakers who will maintain that by the admission of the .Transvaal advocates themselves war was Inevitable unlesa Mr. Kruger altered his system.
