Lonvow, July 13.—The Shanghai cor- respondent of the Daily Mail says that the following story regarding the position in Pekin emanates "from a Chinese offi- cial sourc :

The remaining legations,British and Bus- sian, Were attacked ia force on the even« ing of July 6th, Prince Tuan being in comman i.

The attackers were divided: Prince Tuan commanded thecentre. The right wing was led by Prince Tsai Yina and the left by Prince Yin Lin. The reserves were under Prince Tsin Yu.

The attack commenced with artillery ‘ fighting, which was severe and lasted un- til 7 o’clock inthe morning, by which time both the legations were destroyed and all the foreigners were dead, while the etreets around legations were full of the dead bodies of foreigners and Chinese.

‘Ching andGen. Wang Wen Shao went ‘with the troops to the assistance of the ! foreigners but they were outnumbered and , cefeated. Buth,Pcince Ching and Gen. i Wang Wen Shao were killed. Two foreigners are said to have escaped through the gates, one with a heavy sword wound in his head.

A BRITISH REVERSE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Forces Gapture Nitral's Nek,

THE ENEMY ATTACKED IN

Boer

SUPERIOR NUMBERS. Evidently General Botha Has a Large Army,

(Srectat To Tae Exaurnes.]

Lonpow, July 13.—Lord Roberts reports te the War Office under date, Pretoria, July 12.

** The enemy having failed in their at- tack upon our right rear, ‘as mentioned in my telegram of July 9, made a de- temined attack upon our right flank yes-~ terday, andI regret to say, eucceeded in capturing Nitral’s Nek which was garris- oned by a squadron of the Scott’s Greys, with the guns ofa battery of the Royal Artillery and five companies of the Lincolothire regiment.

The enemy attacked iu superior num~ bers at dawn, and seizing the hilla com- manding the Nek brought heavy gun fire to bear upon the small garrison.

The fighting lasted more or less throughout the day, and immediately upon receiving information early thi morning of the enemy’s strength despatch- ed reinforcements from here under Colonel! | Godfrey, the King’s Own Scottish | Borderers.

Before, however, they reached the spot the garrison had been overpowered and the gans and greater portion of the squad- ron of Greys had been captured,—owing to the horses being shot, and ninety men of the Lincoln regiment,

The list ef casualties has not yet been been received, but I fear they are heavy.

Simultaneouely an attack was maie

on our outposts near Burdepoort, north of the town,ia which the seventh drag- | oons were engaged,

The regiment was handled with con- | siderable skill by Lieut-Col. Low, and kept the evwemy in check until they re- tired on their supportd and would pro bably have suffered but slight loss had not oue troop mistaken some Boers in the bushes for Gur men,

Smith-Dorien had a succeseful engage~ ment with the euemy, yesterday, near Krugersdorp, and inflicted heavy loss on them.

General Buller reports that the Boeis who were destroying his |ine of railway near Paar De Kraal were driven off yes- terday after a short action.

General Hart reports, from Heidleberg, that tbe surrendering of Boer arms end ammunition continues in that district.

Lonpon, July 13.—Lord Roberts’ des- patch reporting still another unfoitunate occurance, throws serious light upon the etate of affairs in South Africa. There has been some comment recently regard: the virtual absence of progress by the im- menee army under command of Lord Roberts. But few could have been found to believe that the scattered Boers were able to inflict such defeat so near Pre- toria.

Instead of the surrender of all the rex maining Boers being imminent, as the recent telegrams had hinted, it seems they have been making a concerted attempt to surround or recapwure Pretorie, with so much success that in the region which was supposed to, be pacified, and in which n° attack was expected, they succeeded in in- flicting a serious defeat.

Itis evident that General Botha has a considerable force, seeing that he is able to press Lord Roberts’ lines at half dozen | points arouad Pretoria.

A Brave Aot.—This morning the fine | span ofspirited horses attached to the!

Hote] Davies coach took fright at the | serving. Le2ave your

Railway Station and ran furiously along | Water Street inthe direction of Quees.

As the frightened animals approached the hotel they were bravely seized by the bridle by Mr. Crilly Bourke and at the imminent risk of his life he quickly brought them to & standstill.
