STEAMER WRECKED
ON DIAMOND SHOALS.
Fifteen Men at Sea i'm an Open Boat
Six Men Drown After Strug-
Cling Two Days.

Norfolk, Va, May 5.-The British
steamer Virginia is wreck, wasting
away on the dreaded Diamond shoals off
Cape Hatteras. OF her crew of twenty
six men, five, including Capt. Samuels,
are safe ashore, fifteen are in an open
boat at sea in grave peril, and six lost
their lives by drowning after a struggle
with death which lasted two days and
nights. The dead are p. St. George
VALLEY, chief engineer; Samuel Peck,
ships steward; Harris and Olsen, sea-
men, and two fremen.
The boat containing eleven men was
swamped soon after it left the ships side
Five men swan back to the steamer and
climbed aboard her and were taken off
safely yesterday by the lfe-savers of
Hatteras and Creeds Hill stations, who
discovered the steamer this morning.
Those saved are Capt. George Samuels,
First Officer Wynness, Second Engineer
Simmons, Third Engineer George Mitch
ell and Seaman Martin Rasmussen. The
steamer is a total wreck, and the Merritt
wrecking tug Cooley, which sailed for
the scene of the wreck this morning, will
find nothing but wreckage, as the Vir-
ginia, when her captain left here yester-
day, was fast pounding to pieces.

FOUGHT ALL DAY WEDNESDAY.
Beers We're Then Having decidedly
the Best of the Argument.

New York; May A dispatch to the
Herald from Brandfort, dated Wednes-
day, says: Today was full of fighting,
with an occasional lively skirmish. The
Boer defensive line remains intact. and
the British attempt to cut off Dewet and
scatter the Boer force which is threaten
ing Roberts flank and rear has been a
complete failure SO far.
There was heavy fighting yesterday
along the Thaba N'Chu Sannas Post
road, the British being slowly beaten
back. Dewei, coming from the south
and Grobler and Lcmmer, from the
north, Oh Monday caught British rein
forcements for Thaba N'Chu. in the apex
of angle, forcing their withdrawal In
yesterdays fighting the Beers had the
better positions, but the British were SUI
perior in numbers.
The Beers attack was begun on Sun
day. Under Dewet, Grobler, Lemmer
and Botha they attacked a large British
column near Thaba N'Chu. which was
trying to intercept Dewet's retirement,
from Wepener. The battle ragged all day
Sunday for several miles along the
BloemfOnten road. The general result
was indecisive. The Beers captured a
number of prisoners. Skirmishing along
the Modder river indicates that Lord
Roberts main army is advancing north

Some Disappointment.
London, May 4.-Operations involving
the British in ten days hard work. seven
being occupied in fighting, have culn1i-
mated in what Gen. Roberts describes as
considerable success"
There is every probability that this
phrase covers q deal of disappointment.
All the indications are that the intention
was to surround the Beers retiring from
the southeastern part of the Orange Free
State, capture their conveys and virtual

hopes have been defeated, apparently, by
Gen. Botha's sllllful direction, and the
Beers have withdrawn III good order
The burghers probably did not expect
to hold the eastern part of the Free

the railway and threatening their flank,

Next Stand Of the Beers.
There is little to indicate where the
Beers will make their next stand. 1t is
reported that they are prepared to make
stubborn opposition On an intrenched
hill southeast Of Kroonstadt, which town
they will probably abandon as soon as
their stores are north of the Vet river.
Another unknown factor of the situa

London, May 4.-Lord Roberts reports
to the war office as follows, under date
of Bloemfontein, May 3:
I'VE occupied Brandfort today Without
much opposition and without, | hope,
many casualties. The first brigade of
mounted infantry covered the left flank
with the Fourteenth brigade of the Sew
enth division. and the right flank was
supported by the Fifteenth brigade. Pole
Carew's division advanced directly on
Brandfort. The Boer army, which was
under command Of Delarey, retired in a
northeasterly direction
Beers Evacuate Thaba N'Chu.
Thaba N'Chu, May 3.-The Beers have
evacuated Thaba N'Chu hill and are be-
ileyed to be still trekking, though one gun
has shelled the camp intermittingly.
Scouts report that some of the Beers re-
tired toward Wepener. They believe the
Beers evacuated the position during the
night, trekking northwardly in three di-
rectiOnS.
Gen. French left today. Gen. Rumble
is In command here. 1t is expected that
Gen. Brabant will effect a junction at
any moment.
Important Advantages Gained.
London, May 4.--News of the occupa-
ton of Brandfort was issued by the war
office at 10 o'clock this morning, confirm
ing dispatch previously received by the
Associated press. 1t is generally consid-
cred the most important communication
received from the front since the capture
of Gen. Cronje and the relief of Lady
smith. The fact that the position gives
the key to one of the main roads leading
to the Drakensberg passes which posi-
oily may be the means of cooperation
with Gen. Butler later on, provides an
ri IC,1 20
the same time menaceS the Beers now
southeast of Bloemfontein, is obviously
the reason for the Importance attached
by all hands to the intelligence
Roberts Advances Thirty five Miles.
The Boer army, which was at Brand
fort, commanded by Gen. Delarey. is pre-
sumably in Winburg, which will possibly
be the next immediatel objective Of the
British Brandfort, thirty-fve miles near
er the Transvaal capital, is now Lord
Roberts headquarters.
What particularly gratiies the public
is the evidence that the army of Lord
Roberts in Free State mas recovered its
mobility and is again capable of under
taking the general advance, so long re-
tarded.
Next Battle at WinburS.
1t is hardly expected the Beers will
make much of stand south Of Kroonstadt.
if Lord Roberts succeeds i'll capturing
Winburg. thus interposing between the
main federal army and the Boer forces
in the neighborhood of Thaba N'Chu and
Houtnek. in which case the latter you'd
be forced 10 move far to the eastward.
in which direction their mobility would
probably enable them to reach the Beth
lehem and Harrismith line of safety. The
only opposition which the British en-
countered at Brandfort seems to have
come from the Irish American command.
The Central-Britsh army is now in line
with the extreme left of Boshof, under
Lord Metliuen, and the extreme right at
Elandslaagte under Gen. Butler. SO that
the movements of these wings in coop
Grafton with the main army, may shortly
be expected.

THE OLDEST POSTMASTER.
Illinois Man Resigns After Serving
Forty. five Years.

Kewaunee, H., May 5.-Charles G.
Robson yesterday gave up the keys and
equipment of the postoffice at Saxon,
eight miles south of here, where he has
been postmaster for forty-fve years.
He sent in his resignation several
months ago, owing to the irregular serv-
ice demanded by the country people, who
would often call him out of bed that he
might sell postage stamp, his residence
being in the same building with the Of
fee. The office will be discontinued, ali
efforts to persuade someone else to take
it having proved futile
The compensation Of Mr.. Robson has
averaged about $40 year. He is yery

BANDS PLAYED RAG TIME.
Rousinfs Series OF Receptions Given an
Ohio Couple on Wedding Tour.

Cincinnati, O., May IA series of ova-
tons were given Alva Smith of Cleveland
son of the general passenger agent of the
Lake Shore railroad, and his bride, form
from Columbus to Cincinnati on their
wedding trip and they came in the nature
of tremendous surprise. Smith had
intended that no one should suspect from
the demeanor Of himself and bride that
they had been recently married, but he
miscalculated. His father sent kilograms
to various stations to have the couple
serenaded. AT the Columbus station a
brass band played rag time, and the
blushing couple were fairly smothered
with flowers. AS they boarded their pri-
vate ear q great crowd cheered wildly.
AT different depots people tapped on the
windows Of the car and called for
