VREYBURG
SUBOUED

LoSDoN, Oct. 20.--Thc Cape Town
correspondent Of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing at Il late hour last night, says:
"Vrcyburg surrendered on Sunday.
Tonight's dispatches from Kuruman,
ten miles east by south OF Nreyburg,
state that the police have withdrawn
from Vreyburg, the town surrendered TO
the Beers, the inhabitants fleeing in all
directions, mostly toward Kuruman.
When the police withdrew the Cape
Beers communicated the fact to the
enemy, thus inviting them to take pos
session. There was Il fearful panic"
The war office this evening issued the
following bulletin:
"No news OF importance has been re.
ceived from Natal today. The cavalry
attached 10 our forces at Ladysmith and
Dundee are engaged in observing the
enemy's movements.
"Steps have been taken to secure Piet.
ermaritzburg and Durham against raids
on the western frontier. There is no re-
cent reliable intelligence from Kimberly
or Mafeking, both places being cut off
from railway and telegraphic communi-
cation. II is believed, however, that u
skirmish took place on Sunday, six miles
south Of Kimterly, and that the Beers
were beaten off with some loss, by an
armored train. There was some fight
ing at Mafeking on Friday or Saturday,
ending with a repulse from the attack.
ing force.
Railway communication with the
Orange Free State and the Transvaal has
now ceased, the remaining refugees
having been warned TO leave by way of
Delagoa boy"

Dom Paul's people, the Beers, are the
farmers of South Africa. Descended
from the Dutch, they use an antiquated
Dutch language, and resemble that peo-
pie more than any other. The history
OF this people Is pervaded throughout
with a sublime religious falth-as one
may note who has read the recent dis
patches-heroic courage and devotion
10 principle. They moved once because
they did not like 10 be under the iron
hand of England, aud they now say that
they will not move again. The Beers
formerly lived In Cape Colony, that prov
ince In Africa which isat the very south
ern end of.thc continent. After the am
nexation Of Cape Colony by Great Brit.
ain, trouble arose between the colonial
government aud the Beers, and In 1896
many Of the Beers LETT the colony and
founded the Orange Free State and the
Transyaal republic, in the then wild
country Immediately north OF Cape
Colony, In 1858 they gave themselves
constitution and the republic was
soon organized. The Beers had hard
time Of Il In setting up their new coun-
try in the face OF the opposition of
savage tribes, but they are sturdy and
plucky race and they finally won. In
1877 the Cape government, fearing an
outbreak that might result In general
uprising Of the blacks, who In all Of these
South African countries represent the
majority Of the inhabitants, annexed
the Bocr territory. Three years later
the Bocrs took up arms to regain their
independence, and after defeating the
British colonial troops in several en-
gagements treaty was finally signed In
1881 under which British suzeralnty was
recognized as TO foreign affairs.
The Boer was not satisfied, how
ever, and three years later the treaty
was modified and British suzeminty was
practically given mp by the British.
When the Beers went north into wild
country 10 gain their independence they
unconsciously settled over the richest
gold and diamond mines in the world.
IL was fortunate for them aud then
again II was unfortunate, for though
those mines have brought them much
money, and have been the prime cause
Of the development Of their nation, at
the same time those treasures hidden in
hearth have caused the enyious eyes
al foreigners 10 coyet the country. The
Beers have been greedy and the Eng.
lish have been greedy, and as natural
result they are now lighting.

MORNING FIRE
Mrs. 7. H. Hubbard'S Residence Nearly
Destroyed.
Contents Almost A Total Loss. Fire
Starts From Lamp Left Burning
in Kitchen.

The residence OF Mrs. Thos. Hubbard,
corner Commercial and Marion street,,
was the scene Of conAagratioD early
this Friday, morning which resulted in
heavy damage to the building and a
nearly total loss of the contents. Mrs.
Hubbard estimates the loss at between
$1,000 and $4,000. The building was in
sured with the Beeler agency in the
Sun Insurance Co., for SllO0, and the
contents in the Continental Co., for
sl375.
The fire originated in the kitchen,
from lamp that had been left burn
ing there.
The family, consisting Of Mrs. Hub
bard and her two sous and daughter,
occupied the house. Att little after 2
o'clock Mrs. Hubbard awoke and de-
tected the ordor of smoke. She in
stantly arose and found the kitchen was
afre. She reused the others, and her
son, T. H., slipped on his trousers and
ran TO the city hall and gave the alarm
The fire department responded
promptly and ran a line of hose from
the hydrant at the corner Commercial
and Center streets. The engine was
stationed at the corner of Chemeketa
and Commercial streets, but the hose
failed TO reach the fire until some delay
in sending back for more.
At this time the fire was still confined
TO the kitchan, which is an ell on the
rear of the two.story main building, but
the first stream was directed upon the
ell from the outside, and in the mean
time the fire made its way into the other
part of the house and every room was in-
vaded, the contents being practically
destroyed.
Willing hands were ready to aid in
taking out the moveables, but the front
part OF the house was kept closed for
some time with theidea of shutting off
the draught from the flames. Eventually
the piano, a new one costing $500, was
taken out, but not until its casing had

probably ruined.
Little else was rescued, and clothing,
furniture, books, pictures and bric-a-
brac impossible 10 replace were destroyed
by fire or water
by the time the flames were subdued,
at about o'clock, there was lictle left
but charred ruin, which II will cost
nearly as much to repair Us it would to
rebuild.

yeranda 10 rescue box of valuable
papers belonging TO Mrs. Hubbard Ed

Chief Churchill cut his left hand, also
with broken glass.
The family, who got out with but
little clothing were supplied by kindly
neighbors.
One curious circumstance was that

jured throughout the fire. Some grocery
