CROSSED THEVET.

General Hutton Drives tho Boers From .
Strong Position.
VET RIVER, Sunday, May 6-General
Pole -Carew started at daybreak yester-
day on ~ mile march. He first came
into contact with Beers holding the
river at 1 o'clock p. m. The British
soon had two batteries in action and
later they added two naval o-pound-
ders, two ~ and 5-inch siege
guns. The Boers fired with great
accuracy and the duel continued una.
bated until sunset, and even later there
was desultory firing. It is marvellous
that nobody on the British side wss in
jured. = : =
y General Hutton started early to find
the drift ON. the west. When this was
discovered 1t proved to be strongly held
and protected by two guns. The Brit
ish speedily engaged the Beers, who en-
liladed tho dismounted firing line with
D Maxim, but General Hutton pushed
forward his own pom-pom and gallop-
Ing Maxim and forced the Beers oleaye
the river bed. The encounter was ter
ribly hot. Later the whole British forco
crossed the river, threatening the Boer
right. The Beers must have received
about the same time the news Of HAM
iltm's occupation Of Winburg. About
sunset q detachment Of 26 Australians,
who had crept forward toward
the river bed, found themselves near a
kopje occupied by the Beers. After fir
ing they fixed bayonets and charged,
capturing the kopje. All was done on
their own initiative. Thus night fell.
Early this morning it was discovered
that the whole Boer force had fed.

= Confectionery In Army Rati0ns.
+: Candy has been added to the regular
ration Of the American soldier. says
The Scientific American. One New
York firm has shipped more than 50
tons Of confectionery during the past
year for the troops In the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico. The government
buys candy of good quality, which
would retail from 30 to 40 cents q
pound. 1t consists of mixed chocolate
creams. lemon drops, cocoanut maca-
rooms and acidulated fruit drops. These
are put in sealed one pound cans of a
special oval shape, designed to fit the
pockets Of uniform coat. According
to The Evening Post, the use of candy
as an army ration originated in some
experiments on the diet of the troops
conducted By the German government
ten years ago. They showed that the
addition of candy and chocolate to the
regular ration greatly improved the
health and endurance Of the troops us
ing it. Since that time the German
government has issued cakes Of chOco-
late and a. limited amount of other con-
fectionery. The queen has just for
warded 10000 pounds Of chocolate in
half pound packages as Christmas
treat for the troops in the Transvaal
American jam manufacturers are con-
sidering movement to add jam to the
army ration. 1t has been found so
wholesome for the British army that
1,45O, 600 sounds have. been dispatched
to South Africa as four months sup
ply for 10000 troops.

latest news Of General Hamilton's op-

that he was then preparing 70 force the

on the Bloemfontein- Winburg road.
there can be no doubt that the news OF
the occupation 10 accurate: :4.<..,.x
The Beers, following their customary
practice. had evacuated their positions
on tho Vet river during Saturday night.
AZ Lord Roberts, advancing along tic

miles to the east, threatened the two

be surprising to hear that they had also
evacuated Winburg.
General Hamilton's advance will pre-

CAUSE or THE DISASTER


Up o1PoWdeR Kegs.
SALT LAKE, Utah, May S.-Two hun
dred or moro lives were lost in tho ex-
plodon in mine No. 1 Of the Pleasant
Valley Coal company at soodeld, Utah.
Ono hundred and thirty.seven bodies
have already been recovered. The
work Of rescue is still progressing,
although there 10 NO hope that any Of
the men who are unaccounted for have
escaped death. .A r. -.
The scene Of the disaster 10 just out
side this place on the line Of the Rio
Grande Western railroad. The explo-
sion, which occurred in the winter
quarters Of the mine, 10, attributed by
some to tho blowing up Of . number Of
kegs Of blasting powder.
The company has two mines known

: AS fast as bodies are reached they are
taken to the clearinghouse and other
company buildings where they are
dressed and prepared for the coroner's
inquest. These buildings are numer-
ous and in each are from 10 to 35 bodies
which are laid in long rows: j To those
who, have been identified are attached
tags with name and address. These

> Two hundred cofins have been Or
dered from the local undertakers to be
sent at once to the scene of the disaster.
The first news qf the Scofeld disaster
received in Salt Lake gave the list of
killed at 25 but it was not until evening
that the fnll extent Of the tremendous
calamity was known. As the list kept
constantly growing, the anxiety Of the
people increased. The calamity was Of
such. size and 60 unprecedented in the
West that the mind did not seem able
to grasp it. !. +

stalwart bodies of the men lay about q
dozen lads who had; been engaged as
couplers and trappers. Some lay along

1t was scene that made strong men
turn away in tears. After the foul air
cleared away from No. the work. Of
rescue began, and it was soon found
that great many miners Of No. / had
been suffocated. The men Of the lower
levels had been warned: Of the explosion
and had made their escape before the
gaseous air had reached them. Cars
were, taken in and the dead were
brought to the mouth Of the mine. Here
the scene beggared description. Men,
women and children, relstives of the
dead miners, had begun to gather, and
as the bodies were brought out and rec
ognized by their respective families, the
lamentations were heartrending.- The
dead were all carried into the boarding.
house directly opposite the mines. At
midnight 1877 men, nearly all heads of
families. were laid out in the cold en-
brace of death. r

1t is being charged against
Mr.. Simmons as an aspirant
tor the Senate that Senator
Vance opposed his conhrma-
ton as collector upon grounds
derogatory to his personal
character. Mr.. Simmons ans
wers this charge as follows:
Senator Vance's opposition
to my confirmation was not
based upon personal grounds,
and no charges against my
personal character was made
in connection with that mat
ter. At the time of nv ap-
pointment as Collector, Sen
ator Vance, together with the
other Senator and all the
DemocraticCongressmenf from
North Carolina, favored me.
The subsequent opposition of
Senator Vance to my conhrma-
ton arose out of complications
connected with the appoint
ment of the Collector for the
Western District of North
Carolina. The records of the
Senate and the delegation in
Congress from this State at
that time will bear out these
statements.
