London, June 4.-The Daily TELEGRAPH
has the following from Senekal, dated
Nifty 2:
THE scene during the battle was Won
derfully picturesque, rolling pillows of
smoke higher than the highest kopje OBJ
securing the combatants. The roar of ar
tlllery and the crackle of musketry UNI
der the light of the flames of the burning
veldt combined to produce a picture of
appalling grandeur, but terrible for those
engaged within it's field.
Tonight the surroundings of the Boer
position are blackened and waste. We
expect the enemy to vacate the hills,
desperate efforts during the day were
directed to getting a force to the kopje
which General Rumble threatened last
night and today, in order to enable
Colonel Spriggs to extricate the Duke
of Cambridge's Yeomanry. !.
The whole army of the Free State
is now between Senekal, Lindley and
Ficksburg. 1t is reported to be com
posed chiefly of desperate men, who
wouldn't go to the T~ransvaal to fight
and who are too proud to surrender
Their total number is believed to be
from 5000 to 4,O0O."

st. Louis, February 22.-Lyman J.
Gage, secretary of the treasury, arriv-
ed here today. In anterview he said:
S far as 1 have been able to ascer-
tain, there is not a sign OF evidence to
support Macrum's charges. / do not
believe that the officials Of the English
government violated the secrecy of our
communications to our credited repre-
sentative, and / think the investiga-
ton to be made will show as much.
"Of course, If Macrum can substan-
tate his charges; il he can show docu-
ments which will prove that his mail
was tempered with, that will put the
case in another light. If the investiga-
ton should reveal that state Of affairs,
then the administration would demand
on onnIn0u for tho in6ipni.v hut + do
not believe there is the slightest D jssi-
bility of such a crisis arising. AS the
ease now stands, Macrum is not
troubling the administration. \ 1t will
not give him the slightest notice until
he proves his charges"
