smith say that the relief came quite un-
expecteily At non Tuesday the firing
of General Buffers army seemed to re-
cede instead of approach and the garri-
son was consequently depressed. Every
body was startled to hear the garrisons
big gun firing. 1t had not been used
much of late owing to the diminishing
ammunition. On hurrying out it was
found that the Beers were trying to re-
move the big gun on Bulawana by the
erection of a derrick. This proved that
something extraordinary was happening.
The other garrison guns directed their
fire on Bulawana with the result that
the Beers We're compelled to abandon the
attempt with the derrick. Later on they
placed the gun on a wagon, which cap
sized in donga. During the afternoon
the Beers were seen approaching, the
British resumed the Smelling of Bulawaua
About o'clock terrific thunder storm
broke over the town, just after a mes
sage had ben photographed from Wagon
Hill that the Beers were in fun retreat
Other officers said they believed they
could descry British cavalry and the pee
pie supposed the wish was the father TO

ceased the British guns reopened on Bula-
wana gradually concentrating thN r. on
the left and driving the Beers before
them with the object of preventing the
enemy from hamperng any British APP
proach. An hour later party of British
horsemen could be seen crossing the fat
below Bulawana, at a distance of some
miles.
1t is impossible TO describe the ex-
cltement an enthusiasm among the troops
that followed. Most of the townspeopia
had been driven into the houses by thu
storm and did not learn the good news
until later. The storm broke out again
at o'clock in the evening and continued
until o'clock The next morning. 1t

a sharp watch to prevent any further at

British naval gun was fred at intervals
throughout the night and in the morning
a force wass ent out to look after the gun
and to occupy Bulawana.
Lord Dundonalds force went after the

AGAINST A LIBEL LAW.
MAJORITY of Members of Jndicinrs
Committee 10 on Record

Austin. Texas, February i9.-tIouse ju-

up the libel bills Zone by Greenwood and
staples and another by Prince). Judge
Wright addressed the committee in sup
norr of his motion to report the bills
with the recommendation that neither
pass He argued that all publishers un
derstood what was and what was not lipel.
The effect Of the bills would be to change
the rule of damages under the guise oil
recurring proof of implied malice. Mr..
Johnston had said yesterday that the press
only asked the privileges accorded to CON"
mon Inurderers and that, the speaker said
thew AZ present received. He argued that
MAS not punished for malice. which
was purely a fiction, but for the dam
age done. He contended that mental an
guish was no part OF actual damages, He
stated that truth was always held 10 be
n justification. All the newspapers asked,
he eontended, was that they be not held to
account for mistakes which they made.
There was he said just libel law when
was created through decisions rendered by
the courts and he wanted the press nela
within the present restrictive bounds
Judge Kittrell said the necessity for
Just libel law was made apparent by a
decision against The Houston Post. in
which, although The Post had published
nothing but the truth. IL had 10 pay SzopV'
II the newspapers published detamatory
statements without knowing or believing

ed. when they made an honest mistake.

Mr.. Prince said that he agreed with
Mr.. Wright in some Of his objections AMI
his bill had been drawn on lines which
met these objections. Under its provi-
sions the newspaper publishing lihelous
statement would be liable for actual DAM
ages and mental anguish damages. but
would not be liable for punltory damages
unless malice should be proven. Under
actual damages a paper would be held for
mental suffering caused BY humiliaticn.
Under the bill the truth OF publication
