A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Military men were not surprised when the official story of the battle of Vlak fontln came out yesterday. They had suspected from tbe heavy British loss- en, that the Boer atcack was a sur prise, but had not guessed that the rear guard of Dixon's force had been rushed and that two guns had been temporar llv captured before the main body could be rallied for their recovery. This engagement occurred further west than was at first reported and communications with Pretoria were In terrupted, Delariy fought with desper ate energy and was repulsed after he had secured Importait advantages. Clearly the war has not yet reached tbe police Uge. The Bera proved once more ihat they could plan a "uattls with skill, and while ihey were drlvn oft they made an effective demonstration of fighting force which urouhl seem to put an end to all rumors of peace nego tiations. This is the Interpretation which Mr. Krugers group of advisors In Hol land place upn it An irrepressible conflict g)es on wl'b a revival of cour age on the Boer side. WILL TRY ARBITRATION.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR STRIKERS. San Francisoo Employers Will Not Lis ten to Terms or Even Arbitration. SAN FRAXCISCO. June 5. The pros pects for settling the machinists' strike is poorer perhaps today than it has been any day since May 20. During the past few days employers refuse to lis ten to terms, overtures or even the men tion of arbitration, claiming to be ab solutely powerless to do anything in the premises, except to permit the strik ers to return, under the same condi tions und?r whlen they had been work ing before the strike. In explaining the attitude of the em ployers toward the strikers, the bosses say that, in view of the forthcoming convention of the Metal Trades Associa tion of America which is to convene at New York June 11. it would be fol ly for a small number of employers on the Pacific coast to make rates or terms without knowing what the eaat Is going to do about it.
