BRITISH FORCES ACTIVE.

Vet River, May General Pole
Carew started at daybreak yesterday
on a ~nineteen-mile march. He first
came in contact with Beers holding the
river at l O'Clock p. m. The British
o had w batteries in action and
later he added two naval nine-pound-
ers. two A. and five-inch siege guns.
The DER fired with great accuracy,
and the duel continued ~unabated, with
n terrible din. until sunset. and even
later there was desultory firing. 1t is
marvellous that nobody on the British
side was injured.
General Hutton started early to find
the drift oil the west.
When this was discovered it proved
to be strongly held and protected by
two guns. The British speedily en-
gagged the Beers, who entiladed the
dismounted firing line with IA Maxim.
but General Hutton pushed forward
and forced the Beers to leave the river
bed.
The encounter was terribly hot.
Later the whole British force crossed
the river. threatening the Boer right.
The Beers must Ia received about
the same time news of General Ham
ilton's occupation of Winburg.
About sunset n detachment of twen-
ty-six Australians, who had crept un-
seen toward the river bed, found them
selves n n kopje occupied by the
Beers After firing they fixed bayo-
nets and charged, capturing the kopje.
All was done on their OWL initiative.
Thus night fell. Early this morning
1t was discovered that the whole Boer
force had led
General Hutton during the night got
w squadrons to blow up the line
nea Swalsdel.
The British discovered yesterday at
every hundred yards along the railroad
concealed small packets of high explo-
sives. The Beers had destroyed three
bridges over spruits between here and
Brandfort, but in every case it was
possible to make n detour.
The Beers appear to be fighting with
much less spirit. 1t is reported that
they are commanded by General Lucas
Meyer.
The bridge over the Vet river is com
pletely destroyed.

London is to have a religious daily,
something on the Sheldon lines, as a
regular institution. A. e. Clarke of
Wimbledon is to be the editor. The pa
per is to be sold for half a penny. and
will be called Vhe New Daily. While
Clarke regards the Sheldon effort with
favor, he thinks the Topeka Capital
falls short of what a religious journal
should be. The object of the newcom-
err is prominently set forth in the first
pages, as follows:
THE idea of this journal is to advo-
cate daily with all fearlessness and
candor a return to those first principles
of our Christian profession from which
we heve so grossly departed, to pro-
mote mediation, to encourage criticism
and discussion, and to do the utmost
possible to supply n good daily with
the least possible parade and expense"

But Mr.. Matthews arrived at the

with Gateman James O'Neill for a few
moments.
"Well. ] missed her" said the genial
