LoNpoN. March 2.-Thc Standard has re-
ceived the following account OF the recent
disaster to the British at Spitzkop. lis cor
respondent was taken prisoner, but released
and furnished pass back to camp:
PROsPECr HILL, MONDAY-G:30 4. IL
returned to camp at s O'Clock Sunday
night. after escaping almost by miracle
from the fate which has befallen a great por-
ton OF the force which left the camp. The
strength OF the column last night amounted
to GOO men. all told, belonging to The Fifty
eighth, SiXiicth, and Ninety-Sccond rcGi-
monts and the naval brigade. The night
was dark, and the march across an un-
known county tOilsome in the eXlrfme.
We first made our way over comparatively
level ground 10 the foot Of the main range
of hills. but there our difficulties began.
VERY DIFFICULT MARCHING.
In many eases the ascent was absolutely
prccipitous, aud wherever there was footing
for the troops huge bOuldeIs and loose
stone, rolled down when touched. The
troops carried arms, eighty rounds OF am
muntion. water.bOttieS, and three days
provisions. making progress painful in the
extreme. Daylight was breaking when we
approached the hill, which was the object
OF the expedition.
Starting at 10 O'Clock, we were six hours
in accomplishing " hat. rs the crow flies. is
q little over four miles, TO The summit Of an
emnencc from which we looked down upon
tong line Of Boer lntrcncbmerts stretching
from point immediately below Us 10 Buf-
ia0 river. So far our success was COM
pletely CLEAR.
THE BOER POSITION UNTENABLE.
our occupation Of the hill rendered the
Boer position absolutely untenabie, as Wc
took their whole intrcrchmentS in reverse
Of our own camp. Although miles away it
looked quite close, for we were at an eleva-
ton OF 1900 feet above It. The enemy's
principal laagCr was about ., 600 YARDS away.
The position we had secured was undoubt-
edly one OF immense natural strength. On
the summit was plateau, 30 that all troops
not actually engaged in rcpelling assaults
could lie down perfectly secure from fire
below. For an hour the greater part Of the
troops rested: portion, however, helping
the sailors, VINO had not 80 far been able 10
get the Gatling gun up the hill.

THE MozARr LAST NTGHT.-As might
have been supposed on such stormy night.
there was very slim attendance at the ma.
Sicaie last evening. Indeed, the few brave
souls who did attend (smOng whom was a
spriDklng OF ladies' are to be admired for
their unquestlonabIe love Of music, which
this act attested. Miss Hammer was the
vocal attraction, and her two solos seemed
greatly enjoyed. Her first song, ~ Must
Sing" by Tauberi, called forth decided
encore. while upon her cbasie execution OF
PinsutPs Welcome, Pretty Primrose"
she was called back again and again,
responding TO n fiittering double encore
The selections BY the orchestra were all well
rendered. in some Of which the bassoon
solos by MIR. Krause were unusually sweet
and clear. The clarinet solo, like all the
efforts OF Mr. Jardella. was executed with
rare skill. The duo for clarinet and cornet
with orcbes.ra) between Messrs. Jardela
and Beier was much enjoyed, and an agree.
able feature Of the evening.

Nothing could exceed the sieadiness Of these
