HEAVY BRITISH LOSS.
ROBERTS REPORTS FIFTY OFF,
GERS KILLED OR WOUNDED.
Invasion of the Orange Free State Is
Sharply Contested, and Burghers Are
Still in Fighting Trim-Boer Siege of
Iadysmith Not Abandoned.

The idea prevalent in London that the
Beers were demoralized and in a condl-
ton of panic was dispeled by the publ
cation of a serious casualty list from
Gen. Lord Roberts. without any explana-
ton of how or where the losses were
incurred. Gen Roberts previous dis
patch, so far as it was published by the
war office, gave the impression that the
Beers were in full retreat, making hard
ly any resistance, and aroused the expec-
tation that the next tldingS would an
nounce the surrender of Commandment
Cronje's army Then came the news that
nearly fifty British officers, including two
prominent generals, had been killed or
wounded, while the losses of the rank and
file were not mentioned There can be
no doubt that the British invasion of the
Orange Free State is being sharply con-
tested, and that the Federal forces are
still in vigorous fighting trim.
The news from Gen. Buffers campaign
IS favorable as far as it goes, but the per-
sistent report that Ladysmith had been
relieved proves to have been premature.
The, Tugeia river was crossed for the
fourth time by the British Wednesday,
but it would be almost absurd to assume
that the retirement of the Beers from
this point before the British advance in
dictates an intention to abandon the siege
of Ladysmth and the possession of terri
tory in Natal. In other words the crisis
is not yet passed, according to the infor-
nation at present received, and all de-
ponds, not on Gen. Buffers campaign,
which is now d side issue. but on Gen.
Roberts great dash at the Free State

One of the costliest actions of the war
occurred at Paadeberg drift Sunday,
Feb. 49, Gen. kelly-Kenny, in his pur
suit of Gen. Cronje. caught the latter's

river. Gen. Kelly-kenny, having seized
two drifts. found the Beers strongly in
closed and ordered an attack, with the
Highland brigade on the left and Gen.
Knox's brigade on the center and right,
while Gen. Smith Dorrien's brigade cross

years: +or

where there was not one last sprins'

This is only a sample of what is going

would have amused you to have been

were heavy. The British guns shelled
the lager vigorously and the Beers con-
fessed to loss of over 800 men. The
terrific shelhng was resumed Monday,
when Gen. Cronje asked for an armistice.
The Smelling was continued Tuesday.
A London correspondent says that the
withdrawal of the Beers before the Brit
ish advance in both the western and east
,ern campaigns has been so general and
precipitate that it seems to be no longer
possible to account for it by the suppose
ton that the movements constitute new
and well-planned vancouver. Gen. Lord
Roberts, by rapid marches, has advanced
unopposed more than third of the way
to Bloemfontein Gen. Methuen has oc-
cupied Kimberley and restored railway
communication between that place and
Cane Town. Gen. French is still pursu-
ing the enemy to the northeast. 1t is per-
-sistently reported that Gen. Kitchener
has Commandment Cronje's army sur

1t is reported that Col. Plumer, who is
moving to the relief of Mafeking, sur
prised the Beers in a night attack at
Crocodile Pools The Beers were in
trenched on steep, thorny ridge. While
struggling through the barbed-wire en-
tanglements the British alarmed Boer
dogs. The barking of the dogs brought
the Beers out. and they began firing. The
British then made a bayonet charge,
when the Beers exploded dynamite mines,
and the British were forced to retreat

Rich Country Opened Up.

By the first of April the completion of a
new extension of the Burlington Railroad
system will open up an entirely new Sec
ton of country. A territory never be-
fore accessible for lack of railroads, but
which is wonderfully rich in mining, graz
ing and agricultural possibilities.
1t has already been completed from AL
lance, on the Burlington's line in North
west Nebraska, thirty miles south
to Bridgeport, on the North Platte river.
From there line is rapidly being con-
structed, about 100 miles, along the north
bank of the North Platte to Guernsey,
Wyo., which will probably be the rail
road and commercial center of what is
known as the Hartyille mining district.
A period of commercial activity never ex-
celled in the history Of the West is about
to be inaugurated in the Hartyillc mining
region. The stock business further back
from the river is carried on extensively,
and there is reason to believe that Guern-
sey will be busy shipping point for live
stock.
This new field of industry is attracting
the attention of all classes OF people. j.
Francis, the general passenger agent OF
the Burlington Railroad at Omaha, Neb.,
states that he is every day receiving in
quiries about the new country from all
sorts of people.
