STOCKTON, Dec 20.-A dispatch
from Angels Camp says:
A cavern on the $40 foot level OF the
Lightner mine at Angels Camp this
afternoon at 3:15 buried F. E. McNair,
j. Whitton, William Fisher and John
Mckewin under tons of rock.
Accounts of the affair are very mea-
ger, as the local office of the Lightner
Mining Company, which is composed
largely of Stocktonians, did not re-
ceive any particulars.
Ten men under Foreman william
Schell were working about eight feet
from the end of the timbers. and the
first set OF timbers are believed to have
been crushed by the weight of the rock
which gave way. Seven of the party
made good their escape, though one
was struck with something and had his
shoulder badly injured and long cash
cut across the forehead.
A rescuing party was organized by
Superintendent H. F. Whirloy, and will
put in the night in endeavoring to reach
the imprisoned miners.
At midnight Superintendent II. F.
WhirloW reported that he had succeed
ed in reaching John Whitton, F. F..
McNair and John Mckewin, who were
alive. Wilton was taken out, but the
other two will probably not be extri-
Gated before daylight as they are held
by their arms. Fisher has not been
found, and is believed to be dead.

appeared to be the leader, was I'M

by themselves and refused to take
anything from them. One man saved
$3.50 by slipping his roll down the neck
of his little boy, inside of his shirt.
Many other passengers also secreted
their valuables and money.
When the job was completed the rob-
bers compelled the porter of the car
to pull the airbrake and stop the
train. AS they left the car they
warned the passengers not to get off

car. AS soon as the train stopped
the robbers disappeared in the dark

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2O.-Nathan

that as a result Of his absence Ante

THE WAR IN
SOUTH AFRICA.
CONTINUED from First Pager

agents in Europe their readiness to be
moderate in regard to peace conditions.
The chief anxiety of the Burghers is as
to the question of receiving supplies
by way of Lourenzo Marques"
1t still seems doubtful whether the
guns that General Butler abandoned at
Colenso are in the possession of the
Beers. According to a dispatch 20 the
Associated Press from Durham, sent off
on the evening Of the battle, and which
has just been received here, the guns
remained where they were left by the
British troops, and were covered by the
heavy guns of General Hildyard's bril-
gade, occupying an entrenched position.
The dispatch adds that the Beers have
thus far not attempted to cross the
river and capture the guns, while adj
vices to the Associated Press from Pre-
toria under the same date say that an
official Boer dispatch reports that two
guns, thirteen wagons and a quantity
of ammunition were captured, besides
2OS prisoners.
Further accounts of the Tugela River
battle emphasize the ignorance of the
British Intelligence Department in re-
gard to the disposition of the Boer
forces. The British were not aware
that the Beers were entrenched along
series of low lying hills, Immediately
northward of Colenso bridge, until
staggering fire compelled them to re-
treat when the attack seemed about to
succeed. The Beers were also in
greater strength than anticipated.
1t becomes clearer also that the Brit
1sh guns were lost in attempting to get
within effective range of the Boer ar
tillery, showing that the latter out
ranged the British range, which, in
spite of numerical superiority, was
wholly inadequate to reply to the long
range Boer guns.
The British War Office comes in for
scathing denunciations from the
Times" for not providing effective ar
tillery. 1t is pointed out in this con-
nection that the longer ranged naval
guns participating in the same attack
escaped.
There was no news yesterday to en-
tighten the general situation. The War
Office reported that General French
reconnoitered northward of Arundel on
Monday, December 18th After she'll
ing Jasfonteln farm, three miles east
ward OF the Boer position, the New
zealanders advanced ana occupied the
farm. The Boer guns then opened, and
the Beers advanced to the attack un-
til ordered to retire.

At a meeting of the corporation yes

The Lord Mayor also said that General
Lord Wolseley, the Commandment in
Chief, had accepted the offer of the
services of these volunteers. Lord
Rothschild has given 10000 of this
amount and Charles Wilson, the Hull
shipowner, has a fully equipped vessel.
which is equivalent to gift of t15,-

The corporation passed a resolution to

A Cape Town dispatch, dated Satur-
day, December 18th, says: Five hun
dred colonists of the Victoria West
District have perfected an apparently
anti-British organization there. and as
individuals have openly expressed dis
loyalty, and have threatened to attack
the railroad station, which is on the
direct line between Cape Town and De
Aar.
The Afrikander Bundites, at meet
ing there, passed resolution asserting
that the troops in the vicinity irritate
the farmers dangerously. The meet
ing proclaimed its loyalty, but declared
that the conduct of the troops forced
the people to use expressions and conn
nit acts which were capable of being
interpreted as disloyal.
