General Hamilton Opposed by a Strong
Force of Beers Under Botha.
LONDON. May 2.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
General Roberts:
"Bloemfontein, May Liam Hamil-
ton marched yesterday in a northerly
direction from Thaba N'Chu with a
body of mounted infantry and Smith
sDorrien's brigade of Clements division.
AT Hautney he found himself opposed
by a strong force commanded by Cen
eral Botha in person. Reinforcements
reached this force during the day and I
directed French to strengthen him dur
ing the night from Thaba N'Chu.
'"This he was able to do as the num-
Der of Beers in the neighborhood Of
Thaba N'Chu had considerably de-
creased. In addition to these troops
Hamilton should be. reinforced during
the day by Broadwood's cavalry and
Bruce-HaInilton' infantry brigade.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE.

Great Havoc Wrought by Forest Fires in
Northern Minnesota.
MINNEAPOLIS, May IN J. Scanlon
Of the Scanlon- Gibson Lumber com
pany has returned from an inspection
Of the havoc wrought by forest fires in
the northern part of the state. Mr..
scanlon says the greatest damage has
been done in the Leech Lake Indian
reservation, where a big hole has been
made in the 1000, 600, 900 feet Of stand
ing pine. The prospect of continued
drought, he says, use every one in
the vicinity Of the fires to feel the deep
est concern for the noble forests which
must be sacrificed unless rain comes
abundantly and that speedily. The
greatest alarm is felt for the vast quan
tity of logs awaiting the drive with
which all of the streams in the First
district are lined. The fires burn down
to the waters edge and that means the
destruction of all logs in the path of
the flames.

Forest Fires Continue to DO Considerable
Damage. WI
MARINETTE, Wis, May 2.-There is
no communication with the burned dis
trict except by means Of the 500 tele-
graph line. There has been no rain and
the fires cannot be checked. The pas
senger train which left here Sunday
morning was hemmed in in the burned
districtand only got through to Fait-
horn Monday night. The plight of the
people in the burned district must be
terrible, as the country is very dry.
Many lumber jobbers have had their
camps destroyed and farmers have had
to fight the fire to save their homes.
The loss will probably. reach several
hundred thousands, unless rain soon
falls, Of which there is no prospect.
Fires are also burning along the Mil
waukee and 500 lines and serious dam
age is feared there.
The fires are burning SO heavily along
the Milwaukee road north Of Ellis juno
ton that passengers are unable to put
their heads out of windows, SO sitting
is the smoke. There seems to be no
abatement whatever Of the ravages of
the flames,

Thinks Corn Can Be Substituted For Rice
in China and Japan.
DULUTH, May 2.-Ward Ames, a
prominent grain man Of Duluth, has re-
turned from IN extended trip in China
and Japan. Heis much impressed with
trade operations there. He says:
81 am satisfied that corn can be intro
duced4into both China and Japan as a
substitute for rice. / think it can be
laid down there cheaper than they can
produce the rice, judging by present
prices for it in their own markets. A
kettle Of rice. 1870 pounds avoirdupois,
costs $3.50 over there. America could
beat that figure considerably in furnish
hi; those people with corn. China is
not anxious to develop trade with other
countries, but she does not repel trade
advances. Japan, OF the other hand, is
eager for trade expansion with other
nations, and Americans stand better
there than any other nationality.
America is developing a big flour trade
in both China and Japan" nj

Arrival of q Large Force Of

LONDON, May 2.-The following dis
patch has been sent by Lord Roberts to
the war Office:
"Bloemfontein, April 30.-The Beers
made very persistent attacks round
Thaba N'Chu Saturday and Sunday.
But the position which the Eighth
fRundle's) division holds is very strong
and he had the assistance of Gordon's
and Dickson's brigades, the cavalry
under French and Smith, orrien's in
fantry brigade, and a body Of mounted
infantry under: Ian Hamilton. Pole
Carew's division returned from Dewets-
dorp yesterday"
Lord Roberts also reports additional
casualties sustained during the fighting
Of April2 around Thaba N'Chu,: con-
sisting Of lieutenant Geary and two
enlisted men killed and one officer and
three enlisted men wounded.
Neither the commander-in-chief's nor
the correspondents dispatches throw
any light on the plans being adopted to
GUST the Beers from the neighborhood
Of Thaba N'Chu and how long before a
determined effort will be made to reas-
sert British superiority is only a matter
of sur1aise. In the meantime the
Beers Are Remarkably Aggressive,
especially in~view Of the large forces
opposing them. A special dispatch
from Thaba N'Chu says they made q
daring attempt to cut off a British con-
voy which got into broken ground be-
tween Thaba N'Chu and De~wetsdorrp,
opening fire from the adjacent hills. In
the nick Of time General Brabazon,
with a strong force Of yeomanry re-
turning from Wepener, arrived on the
scene and extricated the convoy The
sa1ne special correspondent describes
the disposition Of the forces at Thaba
N'Chu as follows:
General Rumble is covering the adj
vanced camp facing the Beers position
to the east, where they are strongly
entrenched. General Tan Hamilton
and General Smith, orien occupy
strong positions N the road to the
north $S
Another dispatch says a column I'M
der General Hamilton located the Beers
TO the northwest and an artillery duel
ensued, without result.
All accounts tell Of much artillery
firing, with scarcely any casualties.
