In the meantime a part ot the Thirteenth and Fourteenth regiments formed In sklrmixh line, extending a mile to the right and supported by the rest of the regiments, swept down the valley and up the hillside toward an other trench. The morass seriously hampered the Fourteenth, and the rebels, taking ad vantage of this, poured a galling Ore upon them tor 30 minutes. The Four toenth was twice compelled to withdraw In the swamp. Finally the trenoh was enfiladed on both flanks. The rebels fled through the woods, susttilnin severe losses. General Lawton then pushed his entire command south through the center of the Isthmus until a few mllos south of Paranque, when he swung around and halted on account of the heat.

J. 8. Robinson, the South African millionaire and mlneowner, rem olved a telegram today from his agent at Johannesburg saying th actuation there is most serl'ms. Th agent added that a mas meeting of Inlanders trill be held today In order to confirm and support th British high commissioner, Sir Alfred" Mflner. As open air meetings art not allowed without permission It la not Improbable If th necessary pert, nlsslon Is not obtained, that th potlc will endeavor to stop th meeting. Consensus of opinion among prominent Ultlanders and South African capitalists j in London Is that the British government is In a tight fix; that It cannot retreat from Its position and that f President Kruger does not recede, war I Inert! a bl. Regarding the suggestion that th United State he asked to mediate be tween th Transvaal and Oreat Britain, United Stites Ambassador Choat says: "While every good Anvrtacn wwuld welcome the possibility ct halptng ' solution of the present situation, we hav , not been approached and I personally know nothing of this proposed media tion by America." A detachment of JOO royal engineers sailed today for South Africa from Southampton. BIO MASS MEETING OK THE CTTLANDER8.

LONDON, June l'j.-When the Ser tary of State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, In the house of common on Thursday summed up the result of the Bloemfomeln conference by declar Ing that "A new situation has been cre ated." he used a pregnant phrase, open, apnearantely. to a variety of Interpreta tions, but In reality only open to one. Politicians who have closely followed the affairs of Transvaal and Cham- . jklered wholly Inadequate to satisfy the berlaln attitude with respect to them. Jut demand of the unenfranchised, while are fully satMled that the colonlan sec reiary meant to declare by means of Sir Alfred itilner's were endorsed as the only irreducible minimum acceptable.

MR. CORBETT 19 ELATED WHAT LENGTH OF NAPT All A tree That Mr. Jeffries Is a Woo dtrful Han end Has a Great Future- NEW yORK.June lO.-George Slier. who referred the Jeffries Fltssimmons tight, mid in an interview: It was a nice, clean fight, with no attempt on either side to foul. Of course when big men like these get tired there Is more or less clinching. In my opinion Jeffries had a shade the beet, of It for the lut seven rounds. Jeffries is unques tionably a young man ot remarkable yttength. It was a good fight from start to llnlsh and the best man won." Ex-Champlon Robert Fitxsiinmons said to a World correspondent: 1 fully fc&pcoled. to wia but 1 did sot. Jeffries won becuuse he Is the best man. I could not believe that he had Improved so much. He is young, strong, quick and clever. I have no excuse to make on the score of condition and overconft. dence. I was In perfect trim, better than I really ever was before, and I fought th best I could. Whereas I fully ex pected to win, I did not hold my man cheap. That Is somethtng I was never guilty of. Jeffries Is now the champion of tho world beyond question and Is entl tied to all the praise that may be show. red on him. He won the title fairly and squarely and he now has a ohanoe to make a great deal of money. Let him go ahead and get It, and I, for one, will not molest him for the present. Of course I may challenge him, but it was all so sudden that I have not had time to decide just what I will do. It is not Improbable that I will ask him for an ther chance." James J. Ccrbett said: "It proves just as I predicted. When effiies was my spar'lng partner at Carson at the time I prepared for my fight with Fllsslmmons, I knew that he had It In him. though he was then Im mature. Fltxslmmons would not fight me. But in Jeffries I got th man who knew could defeat him. Jeffries was never In danger. When I went to his room before the battle I told him to go In and fight as soon as the gong rang. told him If Fllsslmmons -would not fight In the first round to go at him. He did it. In the third round he had Fltxslmmons going. It was a splendid battle and Jeffries did the fighting. This proves what I have always said that a good boxer with a good left hand could defeat Fllsslmmons. Jeffries possessed all the qualities of a (Treat fighter. He ment of the matters In dispute.
