A despatch from London says ;â€"The War Office has issued a lengthy re- port from Lord Roberts on the subject of the Johannesburg plot to over- throw the garrison and murder the British officers, and of the deporta- tion of foreigners. After reiterat- ing the known facts of the plot, the British communderâ€"in-chief in South Africa says ;â€" “Consuls of America, Germany, France, and Sweden, subjects of which nations were arrested, met and fully discussed the case with the British officials. The interview was most satisfactory. The Consuls entirely concurred with the British action, and promised every assistance.” Lord Roberts adds that he forthâ€" with ordered the deportation of all foreigners arrested in connection with the plot for whose behaviour their respective Consuls could not vouch. Otherwise very few foreigners were deported, except employes of the Netherlands railroad, who refused to work for the British. and actively participated in the war. The Bridge Reported to Have Been.

N0 boats were provided, and the river is a mile wide. The Chinese were flung alive into the stream, and were stab- bed or shot at the least resistance, while Russian volunteers, who lined the bank, clubbed or shot any who attempted to land. No one escaped alive. The river bank for miles was strewn with corpses.” MORE MASSACRES. A despstch from London, saysâ€" The Moscow correspondent of the Standard says that massacres like that at Blagovestchensk are in another form the order of the day with the Russian troops who "Bundle attacked the enemy on Sep- tember 18 from Bronkhorstfontein, and captured one gun and 30 waggons.

These orders emanate from Gen. Gredknv, who must have higher authority. The correspondent adds that the Czar is doubtless ignorant of the orders that have been issued. He further says that his informant has seena series of telegrams from the of- ficer commanding in Mnnchuria, every one of which contains the words, "I beseech! to be allowed to spare peace- able citizens.” The correspondent con- trasts the actions of the Russians in Manchuria with the noted humanity of Admiral Alexieff, who is acting in con- cert with the powers, and suggests that Russia is playing a double game, ‘issuing different orders in Pechili and \Manohuria. \A despatch from \Vashington, says: â€"An official communication, coming through diplomatic channels, was brought to the attention of the State Department to-day, giving in- formation as to the conditions in the Yang-tse-Kiang valley, and also givâ€" ing detailed and fully authenticated instances of atrocities in the Province of Hunan against Christian mission- aries.
