Gen. White telegraphs to the British war
office this explanation of the disaster: The
circumstances which attended the move
ments of Lieut.. Col. Cartons column are
not fully known yet, but from reports re-
ceived the column appeared to have carried
out the night march unmolested, until with
in two miles of Nicholson's Mex At this
point two powders rolled from the hill and
a few rifle shots stampeded the infantry
ammunition mules. The stampede spread to
the battery mules which broke loose from
their leaders and got away with practically
the whole of the gun equipment and the
greater portion of the regimental small am
munition. The reserve was similarly lost
The infantry battalions, however, fixed
bayonets and, accompanied by the person
mel of the artillery, seized hill on the left
of the road, two miles from the mex, with
but little opposition. There they remain
ed unmolested till dawn. the time being ac-
cupied in organizing the defence of the hill
and constructing stone sangars and walls
as covers from fire. At dawn a skirmish-
ing attack on our position was commenced
by the enemy, but made no way until $3.50
A. NJ, when strong reinforcements enabled
them to rush to the attack with great
energy. Their fire became very searching,
and two companies of the Gloucesters, in
an advanced position, were ordered to fall
back The enemy then pressed to short
range, the losses on our side becoming very
numerous At p. NJ. our ammunition was
practically exhausted, the position was cap
tured and the survivors of the column fell
into the enemy's hands. The enemy treat
ed our wounded with humanity, Gen. Jou-
bert at once despatching letter to me Of
fering a safe conduct to doctors and ambul-
ances to remove the wounded. A medical
officer and parties to render first aid to the
wounded were despatched to the scene of
action from Ladysmith.
Apart from Gen. Whites statement that
the losses are very numerous, there is moth
ing to indicate the extent of them except a
vague report to the effect that the soldier
who brought the news to Ladysmith said
the British dead and wounded were lying
in heaps and that hundreds needed doctors.
The Beers are still Smelling Ladysmith and
have concentrated around the place an
army greatly outnumberiug the British
garrison. The public mind will not be
much relieved until reinforcements reach
Gen. White. The general result of the af-
fair is of course unsatisfactory for the Brit
ish in the highest degree, and its conse-
quences are likely to be not less so. The
prestige of the Beers will be immensely in
creased among the natives and any anxiety
they may have had of trouble from them
will be much diminished; at the same time,
their success will impart fresh confidence
to the burghers. while every engagement,
whether a victory or defeat, teaches them
lessons which they appear quick to turn
to account. The mobility of their artillery
has caused surprise in the British camp.
The course of events will now entirely
depend on the Beers. They have still

Washington. July 3.-The agricul-

sort in operation in one of its green
houses, photographing the growth of

thrown into the circuit as the exposure
is made. The machine has been rum

kept going about two weeks longer

of pictures is completed it will be pos
sible to reproduce with the stereop-

While the oak tree pictures are pure

The department hopes in the near fu-

1t is pointed out that lecturer be-

as the Canadian thistle, or the life his
tory of an insect pest so that it could
be readily recognized and combatted

though the workers there had never

In addition to the straight photo
graphic work expected of the new ma

to use with the X-ray, so as TO take
pictures of certain subjects that other
wise would be invisible. 1t is thought
by the department that a series of pic

period of CESSATION would be of value
to stock raisers, and might be adapted
to the use of the medical profession in
certain lines of research.
