"There was very heavy firing to the
north yesterday. l believe the Beers are
contesting General Buffers passage of

The Exchange and Telegraph company

ed Tuesday, Jan. IL, from Pietermaritz-
burg:
There is no news from the front, but
heavy firing was heard today in the di-

General Butler is engaging the enemy.
"A rumor is current here that portion

"The Beers, this morning, attemDted

Yorkshres and the New Xealanders. but
they were repulsed ut the point of the

The hill commands a tract of country
east of the main position of the Beers.
and they had determined to make an at
tempt to seize the heights.
They advanced cautiously. directing
their hre at small wall held by the
Yorkshres and compelling the latter to
keep close under cover. When the Beers
rushed the WALL the Yorkshires fixed
bayonets and charged. Just at that mo.
ment Captain Maddocks, with a small
party Of New Zealanders. came IN. and
the combined forced leaped over the wall
and charged straight for the enemy. who

The Beers literally tumbled over each

Evidence accumulates that General
Methuen's so designated gigantic blupder
at Magersfontein has lost him the conf
dence of his entire force to such an ex-
tent that, II is declared. it is doubtful il
the troops would follow him in another
attack on the Beers.
The war Office is understood to be in
possession of letter written by General
Wauchope the night before the battle
saying that would be the last letter he
would ever write, as he had been asked
TO perform an impossible task and he
mad either to obey Or surrender his sword
An immediate change in the command of
the force may therefore be expected. 1t
Is anticipated in some quarters that Lieu
tenant General Tucker will succeed Gen
eral Methuen.

Beers RepuIsed In Attack Upon the
British with Heavy Loss--Mc-
thucn's Terrible BIunder Mt
Magersfontcin Confirmed.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Even rumors are
no longer telegraphcd from Natal. The
conclusion deduced from this silence of
the military experts generally is that no
decisive blow has been struck either way,
as in such an event there would be no
necessity for silence.
The war Office has issued orders for
the formation of five new batteries. Some
idea of the extent of the artillery re-
sources to be drawn upon may be gained
from the fact, according to the statement
of military expert this morning, that an
old practice howitzer at Lydd, in Kent,
with which it is impossible to do accurate
shooting, but which for some time has
been solely used TO test shells. has been
laid under requistion for the front. Or
ders have been received at Lydd to pack
this venerable relic with as much dis
patch as possible for embarkation.
Seventeen more militia battalions will
be embodied in the course of fortnight.

Heavy rains have fallen in the hills re.

A fire, supposed to be the work of

large frame ice house, owned by the
Clement estate, at Sunbury, on Sunday
morning, entailing a loss of $4,000,
with no insurance. The building,
which contained about 100 tons of
ice, was located near the Reading
depot, and it took hard work on the
part of the hremen to save it from
destruction. 1t having slate roof,
the depot was very little damaged.

BULLER is ADVANCING.

Reports That He Forced Almonds Mex
After Severe Fighting.
LONDON, June l3.-The war Office
posts the following dispatch from Gen
eral Butler: "
Headquarters in Natal, June IL
We forced Almonds Mex today. 1t is
not marked on the map but it is the
last defile to Charleston flats. The en-
envy were in considerable force with
several guns in position. The brunt of
the fighting fell upon the Second Dor
sets, who carried the position at the
point of the bayonet, and the Third
cavalry brigade, who were heavily at
tackled on our right from very broken
country round Iketini mountain. I
hope our casualties are less than 100,
which, considering the extreme length
of the position, is much less than ex-
pected.
"The whole attack was directed by
Hildyard, whose dispositions were ex-
tremely good. The artillery, Tenth
brigade and Third cavalry brigade, did
most of the work.

LARGE CROP OF RUMORS.

Said Beers Have Retaken BIoemfontein
and Are Moving on Johannesburg.
LONDON, June ia plentiful crop
of reports has been fltering through
Lorenzo Marques. According to these
General Dewet, with $4,000 burghers,
is marching on Johannesburg; the Beers
have >retaken Bloemfontein, where
President Steyn again occupies the
presidency; the British have sustained
a severe defeat at Elandsfontein and
have also lost 750 killed and wounded
and $50 prisoners in a fight at Vrede-
fSrt. Nothing from any other source
lends color to these stories, with the
exception of the last which is probably
the Boer version of the disaster to the
militia battalion of the Derbyshire regi-
ment at Roodeval. In regard to Presi-
dent Steyn being at Bloemfontein, q
dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland,
dated Monday, June II, says President
Steyn was then at Vrede, 200 miles
from Bloemfontein.
General Butler Makes Progress.
General Butler seems to be making
substantial progress and ought soon to
possess the railroad at Charlestown Gin
the northern extremity of NataD
whence, presumably, he will advance
on Heidelberg and effect junction
with Lord Roberts.
A probable explanation of the reports
that British force is moving through
Swaziland comes in dispatch from
Port Elizabeth, dated June IL, ANNOUNCE
ing the return there of the British
cruiser Doris from Cost bay, whittier
she had taken a number of whaleboats
with the object of landing an armed
force, presumably part of plan to PEN
citrate into Swaziland. The Beers, how
ever, got wind of the expedition and
the force was not landed.
According to a Cape Town dispatch
the cabinet crisis continues.
