THERE have been important events
in South Africa since last week. In
our last issue was told the story of
the defeat Of the British forces at
Stormburg under General Gatacre
and at Modder river under General
Bethnen. Last Friday there was
another battle, the most severe of the
present war, and there was another
serious defeat for the British. Gen
eral Butler, the commander of all the
English forces, attempted to cross
Tugela river, when the Beers hurled
him back with great loss of men and
munitions of war. Of the thirteen
cannon General Butler had in service
the Beers captured eleven, together
with great quantities of ammunition
The British army lost over thousand
men in killed and wounded.
The three movements for the relief
of Lsdysmith, Kimberly and Mafe-
king have utterly failed. Not only
are those towns still besieged by the
Beers, but the British armies each are in
serious condition. They are nearly
surrounded by the Beers, who have
partly cut off communication, and great
disaster to them is a possibility. The
English government is at last aroused
to the gravity Of the situation. Gen.
eral Lord Roberts is to be sent to Afri-
ca as the new commander-in-chief,
with Lord Kitchener as chief of staff.
More men will be poured into Africa
until the British forces will number
10000. With this great army it is
expected that the Beers will be
crushed, but it is probable even with
these great odds against them that
there will be some fierce fighting yet.

THE B0ERS' SIDE.
Dom Paul States Their Case
to the American People.
England Desires Destruction Of Repub-
lie and Control of Mines.
The Beers Will Defend Their Rioits 10 the
Bitter End.

New York, Sept. 6-The World will
publish. tomorrow. the following dis
patch from Paul Kruger, President of
the South African republic in response
to a message sent by that paper:
GLADLY accede to your request to put
the Boer side before the American re
public. The present agitation against
this republic emanated partly from a
certain section of British residents to
whom the existence of the republic
which embraces the most nourishing
parts of South Africa is a standing
eye sore and who suffer from the pre-
vailing lingo mania, partly also from
mining capitalists who, not content
with having here the best mining laws
in the world, wish also to have COM
plete control of all legislation and adj
minstration.
The franchise voting question was
taken up (by England) because it was
thought the republic would not yield
on that point. Now that the altered
franchise does not materially differ
from the Americar-it is in many re-
spects caser-the agitation has become
worse. The object clearly is the de-
struction ~ our republic and the com
plete control Of the richest mines in
the world. The press. entirely con
trolled by capitalists. spreads unprece-
dented misrepresentation and preju-
dice throughout the world against the
Boer republic.
we are determined to defend to the
uttermost that freedom and self-gov-
eminent for which our people have
shed blood in every part of South
Africa. Though wc have no such pow
erful friend as you proved 70 Nenezue-
Ia and To our republics. We have strong
faith that the cause Of freedom and
republcanism will triumph in the
end"
