girls and young colored man at a late
hour OF the night. The relator also at
tempted to show that the girl would carry
articles Of value away from home. 81,
The case of the defense began late in
the afternoon. 1t is the expectation OF the
defense to show that the girls treatment
at home by her mother and stepfather was
such that she was driven away from there.
Mrs. Wright, who keeps a boarding house
at 80 Crawford street, next door to the
Tyners, testified to hearing the girl say TO
her mother: II will not stay home to-
night. You have been carrying that razor
long enough to cut my throat; and besides,
you have threatened to turn on the gas
and Kill us ALL George Hayes and two
other witnesses testified that they heard
into the house and found Mrs Tyner hold
ing her down on the floor and cnoklng ner.
When the neighbors told her to quit she
insisted she would kill the girl; If not then,
at another time.

Ma tabeles Draw the Gordon Tighter
on the Town.

Cape Town, April 2S.-The dispatches
which filtered through from Buluway0
yesterday increased the feeling of anxiety
felt here regarding the fate of the be-
sieged town. According to the latest adj
vices the circle of fierce warriors behind
the mound Notifications had again been
drawn closer to Buluwayo and at the
same time extended The Matabeles,
when this news was sent out from the
endangered town, had been further re-
irforced and another large body of men
was leaving the Matoppohills expecting
to effect junction with the other bodies
of the hostile natives and completely
surround the place from all sides while
keeping south of the fortified pass which
is the key to the situation in that direc-
ton. In addition, another strong force
of hostiles has gone in the direction of
the route being followed by the relief
corps of about 600 men and nine machine
guns, advancing from Mafeking. Conse-
quently, it is believed that there is severe
work cut out for this force, the advance
guard of which it was hoped would reach
Mangwa about May z.
Earl Gray, one of the administrators Of
the territory Of the British Chartered
Company, is expected to arrive at Rulu
wayo today with strong escort OF
troops.
LaIe this evening it was reported there
had been further severe fighting about
BuluWayo and that the Matabeles were
defeated with great loss.

THE ENTIRE BUSINESS PORTION Is
DESTROYED.
The Flames Burned Until There Was
Nothing More to Destroy
Dwellings, Untouched.

Ainsworth, B. c., April 27.--F'ire which
broke out at this place during the nigh,
has destroyed every business house an the
place, and only ashes mark the places
where. Saturday. a thriving business was
being done. The flames first started in
Keeps saloon and were well under head
way when the alarm was made general
There is absolutely no apparatus for fight
ing fire, and as brisk wind had sprung up
the flames had their way and burned until
there was nothing more to destroy. IL IS
fortunate that the dwellings, of many citi-
Zens were north of the business district.
for if they had been in the line Of the fire
nothing could have saved them. AS it is,
there is shelter for all the homeless, bot
ruin stares many of the business men in
the face, as the insurance was so hign
that little was carried. Every store and
hotel in the town were destroyed. Follow
ing is a partial list of the losses:
Ainsworth hotel, owned by Charles OF
sen, building and contents valued at $1,000
McKinnon's hotel, two stories, loss On
building and contents, $500.
Hotel south Of the Mcleod building loss
on building and contents. $4,000.
Three-story building, formerly the Prop
erty of r. Mcleod, vacant; $4,000.
General merchandise store of H. Geig-
erich, with stock, $4,000.
One-story building occupied by Frank
Heap as a store, house and contents, va T.
| ued at $500.
Saloon of Charles Olson, a two-story
structure, loss, $500.
Relief will be sent from the surrounding
towns, and no one will want for the neces-
saries Of life. Preparations for rebuilding
! have already been begun, and the business
blocks will be much more substantial!

SAYS HE CAN RUN IT HIMSELF.
Kruger Refuses to Allow English Dicta-
ton in His Country.

Cape Town, April 2S-The text OF Presi-
dent krueger's reply to the invitation of
the British government. through the Sec
rotary of state of the colonies Joseph
Chamberlain to visit England and discuss
matters connected with the Transvaal and
its future is voluminous document and
plainly indicates the firm attitude assumed
by the Beers statesman.
The president begins by stating that his
visit to England has always depended up
on the settlement of a basis Of discussion
and he regrets that the basis has not yet
been reached. Continuing. he says:
In friendly spirit. but from the very
first, the government clearly saw and re-
corded its opinion that no foreign inter-
ference in the internal affairs of the re-
public could be allowed. Chamberlain
admits the justice of this position, yet he
lntlmateS that Great Britain desires that
particular international measures be ta-
ken by the Transvaal. The latter can not
allow to pass unnoticed the expression .ad-
mitted grievances and express regret
that having intimated it's desire for re-
consideration of the London convention in
consequence of the inroad of DR.. Jameson.
the position should be assumed that in the
discussion the so-styled admitted griav-
ances' must be included as sine qua non
In the event of the reconsideration of the
convention being agreed to-
President Kruger adds that the South
African republic has always been pre-
spirit the private suggestions Of the i'm
perial government regarding the interests
OF British subjects, although 1t has never
admitted the existence of the so-called
admitted grievances" and must deny
on that account that the right exists to
create rebellious movements.
1t appears to be WISER" he says, mot
to press the question Of my proceeding to
England any further at present, but to
leave it open. especially in view Of the
coming session of the volksraad and the
desirability of my presence during at least
portion of the session, when important
measures are to be considered, is appar-
emit"
In regard to Chamberlain's proposal to
guarantee the Transvaal protection from
outside attack in exchange for remedy
of the Uitlanders' grievances, President
Kruger says: Something is offered the
South African republic which is already
| possessed, as the obligations and rela tons
Of the South African republic to Great
Britain, recognized by international law,
| precluded an attack upon the ndepend-
ence OF the republic"
| In conclusion, President Kruger says:
: Under existing circumstances the South
African republic will not at present press
! a reconsideration of the London conven-
| ton, and a substitution for It of a treaty
| OF amity and commerce, but will rest sat
isfied with pecuniary compensation and
with the assurance that no violation Of it's
territory will be repeated"
