Z Cape Town, Nov. A.-From the few
details which have reached here of Gen.
Methun's fight with the Beers yester-
day, it appears the Beers from Finch
ANS farm shelled the advance body of
British Wednesday, Nov. 90, and the
British artillery then pushed forward
and shelled the hill. which the British
subsequently occupied, capturing two
guns. The Boer casualties were thirty
men killed and wounded. The Boer
main column left Finchams farm dur
Ing the afternoon and camped five miles
ahead. AT daybreak Thursday the
Beers fired from the hills, 1000 yards
distant, on the British advance force.
The other troops then pushed up and
the engagement became general. The
British artillery silenced the Boer guns.
Then two battalions Of the Grenadier
Gnards and the Northumberland regi-

carried by light cavalry. consisting of

Mooi River, Natal, Nov. 24.-The
Beers have only sent an occasional
shell into the British camp since this
morning. The range Of the British guns
is not sufficient for them to be effective.
An official native runner corroborates
the report that heavy firing occurred

cordance with a cable order to report
in Washington at the first opportunity,
Gen. Wood, military governor of this
province, accompanied by Lieut.
Brooks, will start for New York today

gestions that the American troops
should be Withdrawn and replaced by

Snmoan Treatics Stgned.

Washington. Nov. 24.-Two treaties
of the final partition of the Samoan
islands have been drawn, and one of
them already has been signed. The
main treaty is between the United
States, Great Britain and Germany, by
which the territorial arrangements of
the islands is fixed. 1t is quite brief
the essential feature being that Great
Britain and Germany renounce all
claims in the island of Tuituila and the
outlying islets, which go to the United
States, and this government and Great
Britain renounce all interests in Upolu
and Savaii, which go to Germany. The
present expectation is that this treaty
will be signed in Washington. The
second treaty is between Great Britain
and Germany, covering the rights and
interests in the Tonga and Solomon
islands and other settlements brought
about by the Samoan partition. The
United States does not sign this treaty,
and is only indirectly concerned. 1t is
understood that this collateral treaty
has already been executed In Berlin.

Coal Miners imprisoned.

Leavenworth, kas., Nov. 24.-The
main hoisting wheel of the state coal
shaft at Lansing broke yesterday after
noon and the heavy cages shot down
ward like flash. The vigilance of the
engineer and his promptness in apply
ing the brakes averted probably a fear
full loss of life. About $50 prisoners and
employees We're Gagged in the mine by the
accident, with no way of getting them
out except through the air shaft, which
is in an unsafe condition. Food was
lowered and the men will be brought up
through the air shaft, two or three at
time. AS the penitentiary supplies all
state institutions with coal and it will
require two weeks to replace the broken
wheel the loss TO the stata win be be-
tween $25, 900 and $4,000.

day with the object of bringing about q
reunion of the different Irish factions.
Timothy Harrington presided. Only q
score of commoners We're present. Mr..

Dillon and his followers, but said he
thought it was the duty of the confer

the proposals of MIR. Redmond's party
and to discuss basis for reunion.
Mr.. Healy added that under the cir

the last conference and subsequently
escinded-namely. that "a committee
of this conference be appointed to con-
fer with Mr.. Redmond's party with 9
view of accomplishing reunion of the
Irish national representatives.

The gunboat Bennington sailed yes

and the Bennington probably is taking

The Spanish minister, the Duke lar

was lnOuEnt l1npOSS1DIe.
London, Nov. 24.-The fact that fresh
portions of Natal are being overrun
daily by the Beers is producing exas-
peration in that colony and intense hui
initiation in Great Britain, where the
idea of possible extensive violation of
British soil was contemptuously de-
nounced in the early stages of the war.
The operators on the stock exchange
htAe are becoming nervous, and the
continued fall in consols exemplifies the
restlessness of the market. Rumors
that peace deputation from President
Kruger Is on the way to Cape Town for
the purpose of ascertaining the terms
upon which an immediate cessation of
hostilities could be secured are discred-
tied here, and 1t is said that If such a
deputation has been. sent 1t will meet
with scant courtesy, as those who are
conducting the war will be satisfied
with nothing less than debating the
terms of peace at Pretoria after par
ade of British strength throughout the
Transvaal. In the meanwhile, from the
scanty dispatches which are dribbling
in from the front, 1t is difficult to form
an opinion of the true situation. The
Boer invaders are occasioning constant
surprise. They have already cut off the
Ladysmith relieving force from their
base fsupplies, and with great rapid
ity are advancing on Pietermaritzburg
with howitzer and other artillery.
Gen. Clery's situation, it would appear.
must be becoming intolerable. so seri-
Gus fighting may be expected at any
time, as it is pointed out that the gen
eral must clear his line Of communica-
ton in order to complete the concen-
tration of his relieving force.

SCANDAL In cAMERooN,s DEAL.
Concessions Made by German Official
Found to Be Cheaply Given.


Found to Be Cheaply Given.
Berlin, Nov. 24.-1nvestigation shows
that the facts in the Cameroons scan
dal made public by the Tageblatt No
vember Is, when that paper said an ap-
parently corrupt deal had taken place
by which the chief of the colonial de-
partment gave away $4,000 square kilo-
meters of CAMERON soil, estimated to
be worth about 4O,OOO,OOO marks, to va
rious high personages, far exceed the
Tageblatt's story. The promoters, it
appears, first formed a company and
soon sold out to the new company
formed at Brussels, and made up of
Belgians, Englishmen and several
Americans, for 1S,500,000 francs. The
concession, it further appears, really
cost them nothing. The first company
was named in the concession Sudekam-
erun. Prince Hohenlohe- Oehringen was
one of the original concessioners. For
this reason the emperor forced his res
ignation as chief court chamberlain.
The facts in the most recent grant of
a concession are even worse. To a COM
pany called the Nordwest-K Kamerun
territory was conceded larger than Ba-
varia. 1t lies in the hinterland of the
Canleroons is extremely fertile and in
cludes valuable forests worth a thou
sand times the obligations the company
assumes toward the empire. The entire
financial obligation was only 100000
marks contribution to the proposed
Tchad lake expedition, while there are
other Undertakings, to spend 100000
marks within ten Years in improve
ment of the tract, to construct roads,
steamer lines. plantations and facto-
ries, all redounding to the benefit of the
company.
The concession was granted for fifty
years, which is to be extended for sixty
years more If the company within
twelve years constructs a railroad
coastward. AT the expiration of the
second term the immense tract be-
comes the company's property abso-
lutely. The company also agrees to
pay the government a small share of its
net profits. There is no provision that
the company or majority of its share
holders must be Germans
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns from the colonial office, in
explanation of the above, that the pres
ent chief, DIR. Won Buchka. adopted the
British policy of getting big moneyed
syndicates to take hold of the colonies
on the prospect of large profits. 1t is
understood that the whole affair will be
thoroughly ventilated in the reichstag
and that DIR. Won Buchka's days as an
| official are probably numbered.
