WHY THE FIGHTING
FUSILEERS SURRENDERED

PRETORIA. Nov. 5.-Father Matthews.
chaplain OF the Irish Fusileers, who was
captured at the battle Of NichoIsOns Mex,
has arrived here. He complains that
though General Joubert promised he
would be permitted TO return 10 the Brit
ish camp. he was taken TO Pretoria The
Secretary OF War released him two days
after his arrival and he was permitted TO
leave. He reports that the prisoners are
well cared for.
I,OTRENZO MARQUEE, Delagoa Bay,
Nov. 9.-Father Matthews, who arrived
here from Pretoria today, says with ref
erence to the surrender Of the Irish Fusi-
ieers and the GIoucestershire troops at
Nfcholsons Mex that after the mules
stampeded the force got hard-pressed by
the enemy They would have held out.
however. but some subordinate, without
instructions hoisted a flag Of truce on
his own responsibility. Nothing then re-
NAMED but surrender
we were sent out" says Father Mat
thews, Ito occupy a position with the OBJ
iect OF preventing two Boer forces from
Joining. We started at half-past 5 on
sunday morning. marched ten miles and
got 70 the hill about l o'clock Monday
morning. The first nishap was that the
mountain battery stampeded and scat
tered the whole lot of mules. We formed
I'd again and gained the top Of the hill.
The mules were gone, but not all the
ammunition. I do not know what STAN
peded the mules. They knocked me down.
II was pitch dark.
1--WE had but one hours stop, the fight
ing beginning just after daybreak, being
somewhat slack for a time, but finally the
Roers crept round and then the firing be-
came furious.
.Soon after y O'Clock noon there was q
general cry OF cease fire, but our fell
lows would not stop firing. Major Adye
came up and confirmed the order and then
the bugIe sounded cease firing.
.'In our locality there was rumor that
a white flag was raised by a young Of
4cer who thought his batch of ten men
v-Are the sole survivors. but We were go
alive having started with perhaps 1000
7 think many Of the battery men Were
eaptured. Our officers and men refused
10 surrender. The Beers did not seem to
be in great numbers on the spot. but
heard that the main body had galloped
off. Our men had to give up their arms
and the officers were sent TO Command
ant Steenkamp. The officers then ordered
the men TO fall in.
1.-THE officers we're taken away from the
men and sent TO General Joubert the
same day, travelling in mule wagons and
sleeping that night in some stores on the
way The next morning they took train
at Waschebank for Pretoria They are
very we'll treated and also, 1 have heard
are the men. There has been no unpleas
antness in Pretoria. The officers are in &
school building and are allowed TO walk
as they please in the grounds. The sur
render, in my judgment, was great
hIIuder caused by a misunderstanding
Major Adye was much put out. The
white flag was not hoisted by the Irist
Fusileers."
