WINNIPEG, May 12.-The telegraph " ire
is still down between Ga Appelle aud Hum

from the front. Great anxiety is felt
A Saskatchewan Landing despatch says: An
order was issned Sunday night by Gen. Lawrie
that the entire corps Of the 7th FusiIeers, and
two companies of the Midland battalion should
proceed at once to Clarke's Crossing. They
left Monday morning at 8 o'clock on barges.
The force numbers nearly $50 men under COM
mand OF Colonel Deasan. They expected to
reach Clarke's Crossing in about days. Two
companies of the Halifax battalion left Swift
Current for this point Monday night, reaching
here Tuesday evening. They will remain un-
til further orders. Another Esmall detach-
ment Of mounted men have gone from Birth to

The Prince Of Wales Rifles Of Montreal, and

WMNIPEG, May 12.-The telegraph lines
were repaired this afternoon, and some further
tidings Of the fighting at Batouche have come
through. The casualty roll of the troops up
to this morning included two mon killed and
fifteen wounded. Fighting is still going on
today. Gen. Middleton is anxious for more
troops, and numerous reinforcements have
been ordered to proceed to his assistance This
is taken to mean that the government has
more alarming news than has yet been made
public, as no one here Can see any great neces-
sity fcE bringing up more troops. 1t may be
that the government has once more got into
an unnecessary panic. At all events Gen.
Middleton is evidently not prepared to storm
the half breeds stronghold, and intends to
stsrve them out, and harass them into sur
render or await reinforcements.

PoHrIANDs, 9; LAwRENcEs, 6.
Yesterday afternoon the Portlands played the
Lawrenees in presence Of over 300 peepls and
won their nrst league victory. The grounds
for the first time this season were in fairly good
condition, but the weather is stl too cold for good
playing and comfort. Ths Lawrence team Is CON-
posed of stoeky men and good ball players. Conway.
their noted pitcher, has a good delivery, sending
the ball In way to puzzle the bast Of batsnen.
His work. however, Is done almost entirely with the
arm, and towards the end of game be noticoably
weakens in his pitching. The fielding Of the visit
ors was good, but neither side had an opportunity
to show what they could do, as very few chances
we're offered. Fish pitched better than in any Of
the previous league games, and his throwing 20
bases was good. Phillips on first played strong
game, and Barnes did some hne work. Quinn made
a good impression as umpire. His judgment on
balls and strikes is good and there is bulldozisE
him.
The visitors were first at the bat and goose-eggs
appeared the score board until the sixth inning.
Then burns took first on Carks error; Hassett fol-
lowed with a safe hit. and OCennel struck for
base McAndless and Brosnan were out at frat
but the three men scored before Bannon went out
on strikes. This left the score to for the visit
ors. In the next inning the Lswrenoos got TIVE
more runs: VadeboncSur made two bases on an
error for Long, Conway hit safe, followed by Kcy,
Vadeboncpur and Conway, scoring two more, and
finishing the tally for the visitors.
When the Portlands went 10 the bat In the sixth
inning, there were three runs against them. Fish
aod Barnes led of, getting bases ON errors. oxley
followed, hitting safe. Annis and Pope were out;
Fish and Barnes scored, and Oxley went ont on
home. The score stood 5 70 for Lawrence. In
the seventh Phillips caught one Of the weak balls
which Conway delivers at the beginning of
inning and sent 1t down to centre held. It was
powerful stroke and ordinarily good for two bases,
but the rspi1ity with which il was sent In keld
Phillips on first. Clark took FIRST on balls Lsng
struck safe TO left field. followed by Wheeock with
base bit Fish was out at HTst and Barnes bit
safe. Phillips CLARK. Long and Barnes made runs
and completed the scoring.
The features of the game were Barness catch Of
a foul fly by Phillips.
