Colebso Evacuated,

The London wal office has issued the
following announcement: 1.-THE colo
nial Office has received information TO
the effect that the British troops have
withdrawn from Colenso, south of
Ladysmith, and have concentrated fur
thcr south, but we have no news of
any engagement in that ncighEorhood.
The evacuation of Colenso is un-
doubtedly n most serious matter for
the British in Natal, as it not only
testifies to the complete investment Of
Ladysmith by the Beers, but makes
the relief of Gen. Sir George Stewart
White an extremely difficult operation.
Colenso is the point where the rail
way from Ladysmith crosses the
Tugela river, which is now in a food.
The town itself is of small Importance.
II is dominated by the hills on the
north side of the river and is SO unten-
able II the Beers have advanced as
they seem to have done. Moreover,
only a small naval and colonial force
vas stationed at Colenso.
The seriousness of the evacuation,
however, lies in the fact that Com
mandant General Joubcrt, while COM
pletely investing Sir George White at
Lndysmith, can sieze this Tugela
bridge and II he has sufficient troops,
can dctach a force and send il south
ward on Pietermaritzburg, and, in any
case, by destroying the bridge and
railway, a prevent any relief expidi-
ton reaching Sir George White for
some time.

come from New York state.

Position of the English General 4. Con


adhered Precarious.
A London, November 3 special saws
Gen. Whites position is acknowledged
to be precarious, that the landing of a
big naval brigade to go to his assist
ance is being advocated.
While yesterdays rumors of Boer
and British victories are taken here to
indicate that some serious operations
have been carried out, it Is generally
recognized that most of the news Mt
present Is largely rumor and must be
accepted with great caution.
A 4:O5 n. IN. Saturday advices from
London say there Is very little fresh
intelligence today but it is believed
that the Delagoa Bay route, il not al
ready restored, speedily will be, thus
giving quicker communication with the
cape. The situation is still hopeful.

BARRET ACQUITTED.
THE JURY FIND HIM NOT GUILTY
OF UNLAWFUL SHOOTING.
The VERDICT VERY SATISFACTORY.
There Was Even Tendency 10 APP
plaud-Prisoner Was Ably Defend
ed by His Lnwyers--It Only Took
the Jury az HOUR To Decide.

LOUISA, VA, August 19.-(SpeciaL)-
The verdict of the jury in the Mayfair
ret shooting case was handed in this
morning at l015 O'Clock. The arguments
were concluded last night at 1890. when
the fate of the prisoner was left to the
jury.
Mr.. r. l.. Gordon, Jr., made a powerful
speech in closing for the Commonwealth,
but it was OF no effect, as it was a fore
gone conclusion that the evidence would
not warrant conviction.
A QUICK VERDICT.
The jury reached decision i'm less than
an hour after retiring to their room That
verdict read, Not guilty" and no two
words in the English language ever car
ried more joy to the hearts OF his pa
rents, who have been under the greatest
mental strain since the unfortunate az
fray, on the 9th of last May.
Judge Sims promptly stopped an out
break Of applause when the verdict was
read Young Barrett and his parents and
Barrets lawyers all shed tears at this
point. Your correspondent does not be-
lieve that the Mays prosecuted Barrett
in any spirit Of revenge, but simply be-
cause they felt it their duty to uphold
the law of the land. DR.. p. +. May
uncle of the accused, told me that he
was glad that Barrett was acquitted"
HE HAD GOOD COUNSEL.
Barret's lawyers deserve the highest
praise for the fine legal battle they made
for him and II is safe to say that no
man was ever more ably defended. The
young man involved in the unfortunate
affair had recently graduated in law at
the University OF the south, and will
take another special course next session.
No more intelligent jury ever heard a
case and IL is to be hoped that all recol-
lection Of the affair will soon die away.
The verdict in this case does not estab-
lish any dangerous precedent, as 1t has
ever been. and ever will be. that any
