A dispatch from the Modder River
estimates that the Sunnyside prisoners
will not be treated as prisoners of war,
but as British subjects caught in open
rebellion.
At the Modder River camp the con-
duct OF the colonials Is greatly admired
and all are delighted that they have
struck the first blow on the western
frontier since the battle of Magersfon-
tein.

tion was the same as on the previous
day. that with small re-inforcements he
could dislodge the Beers from Coles
burg and in the meantime, he continued
maneuvering.
INDICATIONS OF AN ADVANCE.
Gen. Butler continues his night bonn
bardments end patrol surprises. AS
the Tugela river is again fordable and
the stretcher bearers have again been
reQuisitioned at Durham and Pieter-
maritzburg, there Is a disposition TO
believe that the British advance will
not be long delayed.
II is reported at Durham that the
captured German steamer Bun lesrath
had on board five gig guns. fifty tons
OF shells and $50 trained artillerymen.
Nothing farther has been heard from
Moteno, which was reported from
Sterkstroom to have been attacked by
Beers this morning.

Judge Wilbur today imposed SEN
ola Dinaro. father and son. who were
found guilty, last Friday. under an in
dictment charging them with perjury.
IL is seldom that such a charge as that
OF perjury is prosecuted in the local
courts. though many whose business
brings them into close contact with tri-
ais are convinced that ii is very often
committed.
The men before the court today. on
whom 20 years imprisonment might
have been imposed were witnesses in
the case against Francesca Dinaro who
was proecuted in the Sixth district
court some time ago for obstructing an
officer in house on Federal hill. and
they swore the defendant was not in
the house at all, but on the sidewalk
with them during all OF the fracas. on
Ger Clifford and Detective Cannon had
sworn that the man on trial was in
the house. and Judge Sweetland. who
was presiding at the trial. ordered the
Immediate arrest of the two men SEN
fenced today, and of two others who
swore the same way, but who have
since defaulted their bail. The man
who obstructed the officers took an
appeal and he. too, left for parts un-
known, leaving his bondsmen to ad-
tust matters with the state.
The prisoners at their trial last week
told different stories. One said he was
wrongly translated as he did say the
man on trial for obstruoting an officer
did go into the house; but the other OF
the prisoners stuck to his first state
ment that the man accused did not go
into the house. Much interest was
taken in the sentence that would be
imposed on the men.
When the prisoners were brought be-
fore the bar their counsels. John T..
Conley, made a strong plea for judicial
clemency. All Attorney General Tanner
had to say was that an example shoIld
be made of the men.
Judge Wilbur said a couple OF days
after the jury brought in its verdict
the foreman said he was ins--u tled- -Ey
the Jury to recommend the prisoners to
the mercy of the court, oecluse lhey
did not understand what they were
doing. His honor said he tcld ,he fore
man that the prisoners must have
known they were doing wrong, bG, tfat
he would consider the recommendation.
on this account Judge Wilbur sad he
had changed his mind as to the length
of sentence, for while he originally
thought five years about he proper
length in view of the jicy's recon-
mendation ne would only impose a
sentence of three years in states Irisvn
at hard labor.
