LESSONS OF THE WAR. 3 of Ar iT He Published in Pamphtets By Associated Presa. New York, June 4.—So important are the lessons taught by the Boer war that Secretary Root has given instructions that the report of the American army officers who have been sharply watching the South African military operations be pub- lished in pamphlet form for the ben- efit of the service, says a Washing- ton special*to the Herald. Captain Sloacam, Eighth cavalry, and Cap- tain Karl Reichman are with the British and Boer forces respectively. Officers of the army who have been closely following the war say that, while the lessons taught can- not be regarded as specially new, the operations have substantiated these important conclusions: The avoidance of frontal attacks upon the enemy's position, especially in close-order formation; the necessity of having the latest small arms and artillery; the undesirability of risk- ing artillery, as General Buller did at Colenso; the value of effective scouting; the presence of ample cavalry and artillery. George H. Petty came into town from Three Forks yesterday. J. C. Haas of Spokane arrived in town this morning.

The telegraph wires from Pekin to Pao Tien Fu are cut and all news comes via Tien Tsin, It is reported that a serious con- tretemps exists at the palace. The ultra-Conservative party advocates not taking repressive measures, urging the dowager empress to al- low the Boxers to finish the work of driving out the foreigners. It is impossible to confim or deny the report, but significant indica-- tions of the feeling of the govern- ment towards foreigners are ccn- tained in the attempt to arrest Lin, Chinese manager of the Pekin syn- dicate; Kia, chief of the Shan-Hi commercial bureau; and -Fan, a leading banker of Shan-Hi, on the ground that they: were dangerous characters, but in reality because they were connected with new Brit- ish enterprises. All of them were absent and they have not yet been arrested, ‘The British | minister, Sir Claude McDonald, has addressed a’ note to Tsu Lamen demanding why the ar- rests were ordered. : Huan Tsun, the next station to Fong Tai, was burned this morning and a bridge damaged.

Mr. Norman, of the same mission, has been cap- tured at Wu Chia Ying, two miles from Yang Ching, and is in ereat danger. The British cruiser Endymion and the torpedo boat Hart have ar- rived at Taku, Tien Tsin, June 3.—Two more of the party ot foreigners who fled from Pao Tien have arrived here. One of them was badly injured. The relief expedition bas returned. The party of mounted Cossacks that started in search of the refu- gees returned. They report that they had a fight with the Boxers at Tuli, killing 16 and wounding many.
