An American officer was killed and
two men were wounded by the Fill

Gen. Lawtons expedition in the Rio

Gen. Otis has replied to the three
insurgent officers who entered Angeles
last Friday with a request made
through Gen. Macarthur for permls-
sion for a Filipino commission headed
by a Filipino Major General to visit
Gen. Otis in order to discuss peace
terms and to arrange for the delivery
of more American prisoners, that the
desired interview cannot be granted
because the suggested propositions OF
the Filipinos are vague, indefinite and
unmilitary and because the Americans
must continue to decline any repre-
sentative of the so-called Filipino gov
eminent.

ANXIETY IN LONDON.

meanwhile the two infantry battal-
ions continued to climb the hill, and at
1870 D. M, after eight hours of des-
perate fighting, the position was car
ried, the Beers having precipitately
evacuated the hill. Thus what had
commenced with a battle at Dundee,
ended in glorious victory for British
arms at what must be known as the
battle of Taluna hill.
Gust as the Kings Royal Rifles and
the Dublin Fusiliers gained the hill
top, the mounted infantry could be
seen working around the left flank"
1t was gallant work On both sides.
Scores of men fell within distance OF
a couple of hundred yards, who broke
and fed for their horses. which they
had left at the foot Of the hill on the
northeast. There. however. they were
received with a fusilade from the Hus-
safs, who had captured or stampeded
all the horses. The enemy swerved in
their line of retreat. Some surrendered
there and then; others made for Hat
ting Spruit, while some moved towards
Landmarks Drift All who fed were
closely pursued by our cavalry and field
battery. 1t seems pretty clear that
when the main fight was drawing to a
close, part at least of the Dannhauser
contingent, under Commandant Eras-
mus, came up On the ground as well as
a detachment from Free State contin-
gent, which had made forced march
from the south.
The chief portion Of the Free State
troops are made, it appears, in strong
position at Biggarberg. whence it will
be necessary to dislodge them, if they
should wait for our attack. which in
the circumstances, is not thought prob
able.
All the hussars squadrons except one
have returned and the whereabouts Of
that one is known. Severe punishment
has been inflicted upon the retreating
Beers.

Fourteen buildings were burned. An old

The hotel burned was a five story

Of the police prevented many OF the
forty hotel guests from perishing in the
fire. When the alarm was turned IN
the southwest corner Of the hotel was
ablaze. Officers aroused the proprie-

gether with others they hurried through
the different floors and corridors
pounding on the doors, awakening the
occupants. a scene of the widest con-
fusion ensued. Many escaped down
the stairway wearing only their night
clothes.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.

Although Lavosier Spence, Demo-

He is a foe to the trusts, and had the

The following additional details from
Official sources are at hand regarding

The Beers, although driven from their
guns, returned again whenever an OPP

was occupied at the commencement OF
the action. the British creeping along
the crest and making wide circuit.

ton. The British coming quickly into
contact with the Beers. who at that
point occupied strong footing, which
they held resolutely until flank at
tack was made by our troops, who adj
vanced with great dash and in spite OF
heavy losses, carried the main posltion
with a rush, just as the light was 1all-
ing.

was rough and stony and the capture
of the position was fine feat OF arms.
The cavalry Tapped well around and IN
flicted severe loss on the enemy.
"It was highly important to strike
severe blow, as the Orange Free state
forces are known to be concentrated
northwest OF Ladysmith in considerable
strength. The flank attack was gal
jantly delivered by the Manchester reg
iment, the Gordon Highlanders and the
Imperial light horse. The front attack
was done with a splendid spirit by the
Deyonshire regiment.

SAUCES FOR MEAT AND FISH.
The American housekeeper is daily
learning to appreciate the value of a
savory sance as an accompaniment to
fish, flesh, fowl, rechauffe and ragout.
Until lately cur national cookery has
lacked this piquante feature which the
Frenehman considers an essential to
good fare. We now find that the max
ing of good sauce may be accom-
plished by someone besides a French
chef, and our housewife may lose her
fear of attempting the task.
AS a Cream or a Brown Sauce forms
the basis Of many more elaborate prep
arations it would be well first of all to
understand the compromising of these.
