THE Beers.
Another Disaster for the Brit
is.
General CoIIey Killed.


Mount Prospect, Natal, 27.-General
Coiley, with six companies, has taken
possession Of Spitzkop, position to the
left Of LsiEgsick. Firing has been heard
all the morning.
Newcastle, Natal. "a severe en-
gsgemelt took place, to-day, between
tue Beers and General Coliey's force,
and the lstter was driven from its posi-
ton al Spitzkop. There Wss great loss
on both aides.
a later telegram from Colley's camp
says all the wounded coming in sgree,
reporting that General Colley has been
killed and only 100 British escaped. The
Beers charged up the hill four times, and
were about retreating, when the British
were forced to retire because theiS am
munitIon had not been taken TO the ex-
treme summit.
London, q, midnight Coliey,
in dispatch sent previous to the engage
ment to-day, says: We occupied Mazda
Mountain on Saturday night. l. i'm
mediateIy oVerlooks the Boer position.
The Beers are lighting US from below.
Later, he ssys: The Beers are still
firing heavily on the hill, but have
broken MP their lager and begun to
moe away.
a-ns war office has the following tele-
gram from Colonel Bond, commanding
at NJ unit Prospect General Colley,
with twenty-five officers and 6l7 men,
infantry and naval brigade, proceeded on
Saturday night to occupy Majola Noun
tain. The Boers attacked him ut 7 on
Sunday morning. At p m. the firing
increased; at 220 it became evident from
the camp that we had lost the hill and
our men were retiring under heavy fire.
There is no doubt that General Colley is
killed.
General Wood telegraphs corroborAt-
ing the above and says he will return to
NewcAetle on Monday.
The dispatch from Durbar states that
two companies Of HiEhlanders remained
on the summit OF Spitzkop, after the
retreat, throwing stones down on the
advancing Beers, and subsequently re-
celved them at the point Of the bayonet.
The guns from Mount Prospect
greatly checked the pursuit OF the British.
The enemy was largely reinforced by
Beers from Orange Free State.
ThesBOers were beaten off at Walker
strOom, after two hours fighting. The
British less was slight.
Another account Of the fight at Spitz-
kop, says when the ammunition fai ed
slaughter was fearful. Finally the |
British made desperate but unsuccess-
full rush. The Sixtieth foot fought their
way back to camp. 1t Is stated that |
only seven men of the Fifty-eighth sur
vive. The camp is being fortified at every
point.
A released Hottentot reports that the |
Beers expect 1000 men from Heidelberg |
with three guns. The statement is dis |

of my election here before, but now l
will say 1 was not elected by party, but
by the people, and shall cast my votes
each bill, according to the dictates of my
conscience. l did not make the pill

stated. 1 went there upon the invitation
of Garfield. In my interview with the

Shall we Prospect for Coal I


On Saturday last. several citizens of
this place went TO the farm of J. j. Coyle,
about four miles distant and on the bluffs
of the Minnesota river, to examine vein
of coal discovered by one of the party
some years ago. Owing to the snow and
frozen condition of the earth they found
it rather difficult mining, but finally sue
ceeded in obtaining as large u quantity
OF specimens as they could conveniently
bring home. The vein which they ex-
amined was about seventy-five feet below
the to-, of the bluff. and was about four
inches thick where it cropped out. The
roof over it was sandstone. with re-clay
below. Above this vein were found two
thinner layers of coal.
The samples brought in were smooth
and glossy. something like camel coal.
but much browner in color. In order to
test its value for fuel. some of it was
| taken to blacksmith forge and burned.
While not burning quite as readily as or
binary soft coal, it appealed to give out
more heat. and nothing was left of it but
rather whitish ashes. The test was quite
satisfactory to those who witnessed it.
A correspondent of the Gazette, this
week, describes the difference between
Ignite and other varieties of coal. The
coal found cropping out in various local.
tiles near this place is undoubtedly the
former. The only way to ascertain
whether it is to be found in sufficien,
quantity to be of any great value is by
boring. Some weeks ago about three
hundred dollars were subscribed for that
purpose, and that was the end of it TO,
the time. Are our citizens willing to lei
the matter drop. or will they make an eff
fort to solve the problem?
