The Old Man objects to McCrum Acting as British Agent. London, Nov. 21.â€"Presldent Kruger’s ro- fusal to allow United States Consul Mac- rum to exercise the powers of British agent at Pretoria has resulted in great dis- appointment. 'i‘here were many callers at the United States Embassy today. who were informed that the United States was no longer able to forward messages or seâ€" cure information regarding the Britifih pl'lSP oners. Though hir. Mucrum npparently still remains the nominal agent of Great Britain, he is practically deprived of all powers pertaining to the position. It is understood that President Kruger objected to Mr. Mac-rum l'cpre>eull.lg Great Briton, saying the l'nited States claims to neu~ tmlity Were prejudiced by her evident friendship for Great Britiin. All communi- cations to the British prisoners now go through the ordinary military channels, which render their ultimate dcilxery doubt- ful and certainly slow. The British Gov- ernment so far has not taken any steps to ameliorate the ptewnt condition of the pris- oucrs. A Government official informed a representative of the A<s0ciated Press that he did not see any good in trying to get any otlirr power to net in their behalf, as Preside-n: Kruger would, doubtless. treat its representative in the same manner that he had [rented the representative of the [hired St-itcs.

London, Nov. 24.â€"â€"(5 u.m.)â€"Before anxiety as to the situation in Natal had been re- lieved there comes news of a great battle at Belmont. This has happened sooner than was expected. Only the official account is yet to hand, but so far as can be gathered the fighting appears to have been almost a repetition of the battle of Elandslangte. A despatch of the previous day estimated that the Boers in the vicinity numbered 2000. and that they had five guns. and, Judging from the absence of any statement to the contrary in the official despatch. it is believed that the British were slightly superior in numbers to the enemy. The Boers had chosen a position with their customary skill. and were strongly entrenched. The British were obli d to carry three ridges in succession. ppar- eutly the Guards bore the brunt in carry- ing the last ridge by a bayonet charge af- ter its defenders had been shaken with shrapnel. Nothing is said as to whether the posi- tions thus gained were held. and the do- structlon of ammunition seems to indicato that the contrary was the case. While Gen. Methnen can be congratulated anon a brilliant victory. it is again with a cost of _a heavy. loss of qfi'iqers and men. Buffer Now In Hutu]. Cape Town, Nov. 23.â€"-Geneval Bullet has gone to Natal.
