Nr.w Vouk, Sept. 5. A dispatch to
tho Tribune from London Hays: Lord
Huberts' annexation of tho Trunevmil is
general ly regarded ne proof tlmt in the
opinion of tho military authorities both
lit lionu! ti till in South Africa, the war is
pnictiivilly over.
The war o 111 re has received a diapatch
from Lord Roberts (riving mi account of
a elitilit engagement north of Pretoria in
which the liners wore driven ofT, losing
100 rillua and a eiipply of ammunition
uml a few prisoners. About the same
time a party of Boors made an uiiHiib
ceeaftil attack, on tho Johannesburg
water workB.
More eeriuus fighting took place on
Monday in tho muiiuiaiii parses near
Lytluiihure, wiiero Oeuoral Bnllor was
lighting. Tlie burghers wuro 2000 strong
with several guns, and they seem to
lmvetiuld tho Uritiflh in eheck, since the
position was not carried by nightfall
and a column was sent by General Rob
erta to assist Buller. It is thought,
however, that Botha's army was fight
ing to cover thu removal of his transport
nml etipp'k's from Lydeutmrg and that
he will rotiro to tho mountains fnrti.er
north, whero the next stand will be
made.
The effect of tho proclamation will bo
to cause Transvaal huruhers now in
arms to be treated as rebels and forfeit
belligeiont rights. It is hoped by this
means the hopelessness of further resist
anco will be brought speedily homo to
the lloers.
Hut the experience of tho Orange
Itivor colony is not altogether eneourag
big. After six mouths of annexation,
the burghers are still in arms in the
Eastern Free -State and in HufUciuut
force to put a British garrison in danger
ot surrendering. Telegrams from tiio
llasutolnnd frontier ehnw that tho Doer
commandoes liuvo surrounded Lady
brand and reduced tiio defenders to such
straits that they have burned all tliuir
etoreu in thu market place to prevent

Managua, Niccaragna, Aug, 13 (Cor
respondence of tho Asaociated Press.)
El Coniercin, daily semi-ofllcial news
paper published here, in its iatuo of
August 12th contained an editorial an
nouncement that the government o!
Nicaragua had informed the Inter
Oceanic Canal Company that its conces
sion had been annulled August 3 of the
present year, becauee of tho failure of
the company to depoaite .$400,000 in
American gold in the treasury of Nic
aragua within four months of the or
ganization the company, as required
by article 38 of the canal concession,
granted to Messrs. Eyro and Cragln
October 30, 1808.
This apparently leaves tho Nicaragua
canal route free from any complications
other than the demand for the sum
which the Caribbean & Pacific transit
company may ask for its concession, ob
tained in 1897 or early in 1898, granting
to it, the company declares, tiio sole
ni.Mii tor unriy years ot Bteam naviga
tion on the Itio San Juan and Lake Nic
aragua the canal route qualified, how
ever, by the reserved right of Nicaragua
to in tho mcniiwhil.o .grant a canal
construction concession to any one
whom it saw fit. It was agreed tiiat tho
receivers of such a concession should
pay to the Caribbean & Pacific Transit
Co. for the Lake Sillciu and San Juan
River Railroad (a few miles in length,)
fur such improvements us it made in
deepening the San Juan river, and for
their steamboats, lighters, etc., referred
to in the concession they received.
This company is an offshoot of and a
feeder to the Atlas Steamship Company,
of Liverpool, England.

New Youk, Sept. 5. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
edict addressed to Li Huug Chang in
the name of the Chinese emperor, and
dated August 10th, en route to Tai Yuen
Fu, explains that although tho foreign
powers have given assurance that their
only object in bringing troops to the
capital is the suppression of disorder
and that no harm is intended to the
imperial house, the emperor has felt it
his duty, in view of the dangers appre
hended from tho assault on I'ekin, to
comply with the wishes of the empress
dowager and accompany her westward
after instructing Yung Lu, Hsu Tung
and Tsung Chi to remain in the capital
and carry on the government.
The Times, commenting upoii this
news, which is reported by its corres
pondent in Shanghai, says tlmt if it he
genuine, it shows that the movements
of tho .titular sovereign are still di
rected by tho imporious will of tiie
dowager empress to whoBe initiative and
support the outbreak of the Boxer
movement is attributed.
The Standard's correspondent in Tien
Tsln sends an account of the first party
of refugees from Pekin. Most of thetu
were American missionaries. Tho jour
ney to Tien Tsln by boat occupied four
dare, jno Hostile vnniese were en
countered on the way, but it was inv
possiblo for the refugees to take a rest
and all the party seemed completely
worn out.
From tho stories told by theso refugees
it would soem that the reports which
hud been circulated regarding the suffer
ings ox the inmates of the legations
during the siege were exaggerated. No
body actually went huugry, and the
chief strain on the besieged was the
constant fear lest the enemy should rush
the defenses.

Mr. J. . Lilly, a prominent citizen of

deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it lie eaye: "1 was taken with
Typhoid fever, that ran into Pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. I was so
weak 1 couldn't even eit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die ot Consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King's New Discovery. One bottle gave
great relief. I continued to use it, and
now am well and strong. I can't say
too much in its praise." This marvellous
