Charge On Flere Camp-Both
Sides Fight Valiantly All Day.
Beers Repulsed.

Frere Camp, Natal, Jan. S.-The
following was received from Gen.
White, dated yesterday An at
tack was commented on my posi-
ton, but was chiefly against
Caesars camp and wagon hill. The
enemy was in great strength and
pushed the attack with the great
est courage and energy. Some of
the entertainments of wagon hill
were three times taken by the en-
envy and retaken by us. The attack
continued until 1880 p. IN. One
point in our position was occupied
by the enemy the whole day, but
at dusk, in heavy rainstorm, they
were turned ont of this position
at the point of the bayonet in
most gallant manner by the De-
vonshireS led by Col. Park.
"Col Ian Hamilton commanded
on Wagon Kill, and rendered val
liable services. The troops had a
very trying time and have behaved
excellently. They are elated at the
service they have rendered the
Queen. The enemy were repulset
everywhere with very heavy loss,
greatly exceeding that on my side,
which will be reported as soon as
the lists are completed"

The New York Herald has been trying 10
support Mr.. Bryan on the issue of anti-im-
perialism, and had made some progress i'm
that direction when Mr.. Bryan sent forth
his letter of acceptance. This has knocked
the Herald entirely out, and it talks of
Mr.. Bryans reafiirmation of the silver
lunacy." 1t declares that the scheme of
Mr.. Bryan which he has reiterated in his
letter of acceptance is reputation. The
Herald goes on: s2
Directly there was any chance of free
coinage lenders would begin to bargain for
repayments In gold, and If the mints were
actually opened merchants would make
one price for their goods In gold and an
other price where the payment was to he
IN silver. The result would be, TO begin
with, the ruin of creditors a commercial
panic and the arrangement of all interests
until business could be readjusted to the
silver standard, for the gold would in
svitapiy leave the country and we should
be not ON "a double standard but on a
silver basis, and with the white metal alone
in circulation.
There is not new idea in the foregoing
1t is the old story of 1886 over again. and
more people now believe that Mr.. Bryan's
silver policy is lunacy than did four years
ago. Indeed, many people have tried to
persuade themselves that Mr.. Bryan is not
so devoted to l6 10 1 as he was four years
ago. Now that, the public has his letter of
acceptance it fully understands that he is
committed to what the Herald stignatizes
as 'lunacy." The New York Herald does
not love the Republicans. so while it criti-
cises; their financial legislation it concludes
its remarks with the following declaration:
Still. the Republicans are squarely COM
mitted TO the maintenance of the gold
standard. and, therefore. despite this ing
Cling with the note issues In the interest of
a special class, their position on the finan-
cial question must be supported by all
thinking men as against Mr. Bryan's
proposition to pull the props from under
our entire system and precipitate repudia-
ton and ruin.
Thousands OF men throughout the coun-
try who do not call themselves Republic
ans. and who might have preferred TO vote
for some other candidate than President
Mckinley. have come to the conclusion that
it is an imperative duty to vote for the
candidates pledged TO uphold sound cur
