THE TRANSPORT TARTAR.
The Vessel Snid TO be Subject to the
British Navigation Laws-she
il simply Chartered.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Thc army
transport Tartar, which is reported
detained at Hong Kong by the British
authorities, was chartered by the Unit
ed States, and is owned by the Ca
madam Pacific Steamship Co. She sails
under the British flag. 1t is said that
under these conditions she is subject
to the British navigation laws, as be-
ing chartered by the United States
does not entitle her to American reg
istry. The British consul can deter
mine whether she complies with the
British navigation laws, and if she
does not, she has authority to unload.

Hong Kong, but it is supposed that it
was for the purpose of docking her.
The Tartar sailed from San Francisco
July "a. She carried 1,221 men. 1t is
stated at the war department that she
was under the supervision of the
boards of health at San Francisco, and
that she would not have been allowed

comply with the regulations. When

ed her with all on board well and no
deaths. She sailed from Manila Sep

Exciting Street Duel.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. An exciting
street duel on Wylie avenue today be-
tween Policeman G. NJ. Forbes and Viii
son Yancy, colored. resulted in the officer
being wounded four times, from the ef-
fects of which he will probably die.
Forbes. who has been one of the city's
Quickest policemen has arrested Yancy
on two different occasions. the negro
going to the workhouse each time. The
last sentence expired yesterday, and
Yaancy returned to his old haunts.
The story Of the duel is to the effect
that Forbes and Yancy met on the street
and passed some remarks. When the
policeman had turned to leave the negro
pulled a 32-caliber revolver and put a
bullet into his shoulder. While Forbes
was trying to get his overcoat open to
draw his revolver Yancy fired again.
this time cutting through the chin. lie
fired a third shot, but missed and as
loon a fourth bullet lodged in his back,
The negro retreated across the street,
and as quickly as Forbes could get his
revolver he came to the door to renew
the battle. The two men with revoivers
cooked moved slowly down he street
awaiting a good chance to fire.
AS soon as the row of o~n-lookers got
out of range Forbes fired. but missed.
Yancy returned the fire hitting the Off
GERS right wrist and knocking the re-
volver to the ground. Forbes pluckily
caught it up with his left hand and fired
a again but without effect. AS Yancy was
about to shoot once more William Miller,
d member of the Eighteenth regiment,
crept up behind him grabbed him by the
collar and dealt him a terrific blow on the
jaw, which knocked him into the gutter.
Others came to his help and the negro
was subdued. Forbes then staggered up,
that Yancy was handcuffed, and
then collapsed.
1t the hospital the physicians at mid
night said Forbes VAS sinking rapidly
and could hardly survive the night.

THE BATTLE
IS DESCRIBED
Continued from Page One.)

clded battle, Blu apparently during the
coupe OF the night, Genera Cronje. com
manding the Beers, who are said to have
numbered 11,OOO men, decided that the
struggle was hopeless for the British
found the town and surrounding posi-
lions evacuated when daylight broke.
and the whole British army crossed the
river and encamped on the Boer position.
The experts here are unanimous in ex-
! pressing the opinion that kimberley's
needs must be very pressing to induce
General Methuen to expose the whole of
his to the Boer marksmen
snugly entrenched in a semi-circle. So
deadly was the fire zone that the Scots
guards were compelled to leave their
Maxim guns behind when they were
forced to seek less exposed ground. 1t
was only after dusk that a portion of
British troops succeeded in crossing the
river by a mill dam on the extreme left.
When night fell the Boer artillery fire
was still as vigorous as in the morning,
but the Beers retirement in the night
saved the situation for the British. The
exhausted condition Of the British troops
precluded the possibility of a pursuit of
the enemy.
The conclusion of the corresponds ats
that the Beers must have suffered heav-
lily must be confirmed from official sources
before it is accepted as a fact. In any
case the Beers retired without any sign
of disorder, carrying off their guns and
equipment.
! Thus Cronje's force is still intact. The
fact that General Methuen and Colonel
kekeWich are now in communication
may cause a reconsideration of the Boer
commanders plan to give battle at Spyt-
%fontein, where he might be simultane-
ously attacked by both British forces. 1t
is reported that the MOdder river bridge
has been repaired and that the British
resumed their march towards kimber-
ley to-day.
The fact that the De5eers mines foun-
dry is casting shells, while the garrison
seldom replies to the Beers artillery
is said to point to a scarcity of ammuni-
ton at Kimberley, partially accounting
for General Methuen's haste.
All the news from natal emphasizes
the difficulties be-lre General Clery.
There is a growing belief that some deli
ed to some tactician while General Hid
yard carried out the direct front demon
stration.
The latest advices from Ladysmith
dated Nov. 25 say the Smelling of that
place was continued. 1t also appears
ing the Beers. sent message suggesting
thai all the wounded be sent to a neutral
camp and that General White peremp-
'torily refused, when it is added the Beers
deliberately shelled the hospital.
All accounts agree that the Beers
shells were much more damag cling than
previously. A number of civilians and
police were killed or wounded, While the
Liverpool and Gloucester battalionS lost
II men Nov. %.
The siege of Ladysmith was then
growing stronger. The Beers are esti-
mated to number from 10 1000 to 5000
men. The health of the British garri-
son was good. The Boer force at Col
enso is estimated to be $4,000 me- With
Is guns.
