says :
"After an arduous march and fiequent
fighting with tho Chinese, Viee-Aduiiral
Seymour arrived at Pekin Sunday after
noon. On live occasions tho Chinese at
tacked the column in great force. There
were many mounted men among tho
Chinese, but most of tho natives were
badly armed. At times they fought with
ndinirablo courage and bravery. The
losses of the Chinese during tho march
aro estimated r-t 600 killed. The losses
of tho foreigners weie trilling.

Bmti.i.v, June 20. "The responsibility
of the Chinese government for the recent
events," said a high ofllclal of the for
eign oilioe today, "is now clearly proved.
It has been ascertained that 10C0 Chinese
troops who deserted to tho Uoxers did so
under tho direct orders of tho Chinese
government. Tho promotion to the
highest positions of the notoriously auti
European olllclals also points in the
same direction. This Is a war of China
against all foielgnoiH.Inoluding Germans,
and the point now is to go ahead vigor
ously, quickly and resolutely, no matter
what tho llnal outcome may be."

London, June 20. Tho war office has
received tho following dispatch from
Lord Roberts :
"Pretoria, June 20. Hunter's ndvnnce
column occupied Krugersdorp without
opposition June IS.
"Methuen, who was escorting n large
convoy to Heilbron yesterday, routed a
force under Christain Dewet, who en
deavored to prevent him from entering
the little town. Methuen had only
three casualties.
"Baden-Powell left this city today on
ills return to Rustenburg. The country
is quieting dawn in that direction. Tins
satisfactory state of affairs will bo
materially assisted by tho capture be
tween liere and Rustenburg, June 19, of
two guns by Ilutton's mounted infantry
from a body of the enemy under Com
mandant Duplessis.
"Railway and telegraphic communica
tion with Cape Town is now completely
restored. All is quiet here and at Johan
nesburg. The shops are open and the
market is daily becoming more crowded
and business-like."
London, June 20. Lord Roberts this
afternoon reported that General Hunter
had occupied Krugersdorp (west of Jo
hannesburg), without opposition, and
that General Methuen, on June 19,
routed a Boer force which was opposing
his entry into Heilbron and the Orange
River colony.
The silence of Lord Roberts since June
10 disposes some quarters to believe that
his lino of communication lias again been
cut, especially, as, according to the latest
news from the Orance river colony, the
Boers are known to be still hoveling
about the railroad north of Kroonstad.
According to a Capo Town dispatch of
this date, General Kitchener had a nar
row escape from capture in the engage
ment at Leeuw Spruit on June 14. He
was bleeping in the repair train when It
was attacked, and many of the engineers
were captured. General Kitchener's
sleeping car was at Kopje's station, when
the Boers, under General Dewet sudden
ly opened lire at 3 a m. Kitchener man
aged to reach his horse and galloped to
Rhenoster, two miles distant.
The Boers numbered 900 men with
three guns. They destroyed the culvert
which had just been rebuilt, and de
railed the train. Tho Boere, who aro
alleged to be hemmed in by General
Ruudle, began shelling Ficksbnrg yester
day, June 19. It is said they apprehend
that a force is maiehiug on them.
