SUNDAY, KRUGER LEADS BOERS AGAINST LORD ROBERTS British Attack Middleburg and Hard Fighting Follows. Aged President of the Transvaal Republic in Person Directs the Defense of the Town. ety i LONDON, July 21.—A special dispatch from Cape Town, dated to-day, says: “Lord Roberts has attacked Middleburg in force and a big battle is in progress. President Kruger is with the burghers, directing the defense.” The War Office has recefved the follow- ing from Lord Roberts “PRETORIA, July 21.—Little, tempor- arily commanding the Third Brigade, re- orts on July 19 he came in contact near indley with Dewet's force, which broke through Hunter's cordon. The fighting last. “until dusk, when Dewet's force being repulsed, broke into two parties. Little’s casualties were slight. He buried five Boers. “Hamilton and Mahon continued their eastward march yesterday and should join hands with Pole-Carew to-day near rsten Fabriken station. “A body of the enemy wrecked a train carrying “sick between Krugersdorp and Potchefstrom July 19. LOURENZO MARQUES, July 2L—A dispatch from Machadodorp says that heavy artillery firing has been reported from' the neighborhood of Middleburg, where it was reported the Boers have | | prepared to retire upon the approach of | the British. Among the prisoners pass- ing through Noort Cacacht this week were a number of Canadians captured at Grey- {lingstadt. ~ Four German officers who | | have ‘beeén acting as President Kruger's | military advisers have just arrived, hav- | ing received orders from Berlin to pro- ceed to active service in China. | MAY PERMIT BETTING AT THE STATE FAIR Sacramento Trustees Will Consider Amendment to the Anti-Pool- room Ordinance. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, July 21.—Action will be taken by the Board of Trustees at next Monday night’s meeting on an ordinance | prohibiting the sale of pools elsewhere than on a racetrack or at times other than when races actually are being run. This | ordinance is designed to solve the question of poolselling at the State F: , which | opens early in September ne Five months ago an ordinance was passed pre- | | venting the sale of pools anywhere in the o and under it the pooirooms have becn | effectually closed out. But even those foremost in bringing | about the wholesome reform were averse | to striking a blow at the legitimate bet- | ting feature of the State Fair r on, and various influences n the presentation of the m | s0 as to exclude the State Fair races from its operation. That it will pass next Mon- v night and become law is the general wish of citizens, although it is openly | hinted that the old poolroom crowd will do its best to saddle it with some amend- ment whic! ble the poolrooms to | start up again, One way which has been talked of ha | been the fixing icense on the pool- rooms, and some Trustees are said to faver such a measure. The people, how. ever, will regaid a manthly license tax as small compensation for the rehabilitation of the poolroom evil; and from press and pulpit has sprung a protest. MAY DO AWAY .WITH TELEGRAPH OPERATORS Machine Invented Which Will Trans- mit Messages With an Or- dinary Typewriter. CHICAGO, July 21.—The Times-Herald to-morrow will say: Telegraphy by the use of typewriters in place of the ordinary | clicking keys and sounders, famillar in telegraph offices, has been made possible by two Chicago men, S. G. Sholes and A. C. Gilmore. They have devised a mechanism by which a message written with ordinar: spelling on a_ machine that has a key board exactly like the keyboard of the o dinary typewriter will be printed, i mitted over a telegraph wire, b typewriter in the office to which it hundreds of miles a " The instruments have been tested over a ‘circuit of 665 miles of wire belonging to the Central Union Telephone Company, connecting Bloomington, Springfield and Pecria. The feature of the invention is that | while it recefves and delivers messages in the ordinary alphabet speliing it irs | mits them by the use of the Morse t graphic alphabet of dots and dashes. transmitter turns each figure, { punctuation point into dots and { and the receiver, w i strument called’ a ‘*‘selector,” turns the dots and dashes back into the ordinary signs. BATTLEFIELD WILL BE OUTSIDE OF PANAMA | Rebels Agree With the Government Forces to Meet Without the City Limits. NEW YORK, July 2l.—According to a dispatch to the Herald from Panama, the | chief officers of the revolutionary forces | addressed a letter under date of July 14 to the American Consul here and through The letter or dashes h contains an in in- him to all the members of the consular corps stating that they wished to prevent Panama being the scene of warlike opera- tlons, which would be disastrous to lives | and property. The rebel leaders requested the Consuls to use their good offices to | effect an arrangement with the Govern. ment by which the latter's forces should meet them in battle outside the city. On receipt of this letter the Consuls met to discuss the matter. They resolved to appoint a_committee composed of the Amerean, English and French Consuls to confer with lge Governor, and this com- | mittee laid the matter before General Al- ban, who is now in charge of the Govern- ment here. | General Alban told the Consuls that the | forces under his command in this depart- ment would defend the city threatened | by the revolutionary forces and would | fight outside its limits. Part of his forces, he said, were already in convenient loc: tions for meeting the enemy. General Al ban added that it was the Government's desire to avoid by all means fighting and bloodshed in the streets of the city. | Locked in Dome of Denver Capitol g s i FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
