Naauwpoort. Cape Colony Jan g.
There was brisk fighting today in the
hillse around COlosburg. The Beers
stubbornly resisted the British at every
point, but gradually retreated.
The British held the extreme position
to the south and east, overlooking the
town. The hills around COlesburg are
numerous, not in ranges but in groups,
making it very difficult TO hunt the
Beers out. Sixteen wounded have ar
rived at Arundel.
A special dispatch from NauwpOOrt
dated Tuesday, Jan. ,, says the British
command Norvalspont bridge with two
guns and also command the Colesburg
bridge and that the Beers have no way
to retreat except by way of NOrmberg.
The dispatch adds that big develop
ments are expected tomorrow.

MARX HANNA STEPS ASIDE
WILL NOT EVEN BE IN THE
NEXT CONVENTION.
Wants to Make Room For Grosvenor
and Dick and Thus Avoid Any
Friction.

Cleveland. O., Jan. 9.-Senator Hanna
declared today that although he had been
urged to stand for the permanent chair
manshiD of the next Republican conven-
ton he would not do so
There are other men" he said who
are more ambitions than I and who value
that honor more than l. 1 will give way
to them.
He also declared that he viii not be
one of the delegation at large from Ohio
in the convention.
I greatly desire that General Dick
shall have an uucOntested place in the
Ohio delegation at large" he explained.
''and I am glad to step out in his favor. If
was to be considered as one of the del
egates at large, precedent giving the place
to me as a senator, there would be a con-
test between General GrOsvenOr and Cen
eraI Dick. I being out of it. there will
be room for both Of them. as there should
be and friction will be avoided"
1t is evident from the foregoing that the
plan to make Senator Hanna a delegate

formed without his consent

DISTRESS AT LADYsMITH.
Garrison VIII Fan Unless Relief Is
Had at Once.

New York, Jan. 3.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: An
unexpected development Of the situa-
ton has occurred at Colesburg. Late
advices are that the Beers returned
with reinforcements during the nighN
and occupied the position from which
they were driven by General French
on Monday.
There is a deepening sense of anx-
iety respecting Ladysmith whence
most disheartening reports of the
prevalence of sickness are received.
General White reported a list of nearly
twenty deaths from entric fever and
dysentery and seventy-one cases in the
hospital. DR.. Jameson has all the work
he can do in that fever nest.
1t is evident that the garrison cannot
hold out long and that Sir Redvers
Butler viii not allow many days to pass
before striking a blow. Transports with
fresh battalions and batteries arrived
at Durham yesterday, and within forty
eight hours Sir Redvers ought TO be in
readiness for a supreme effort. The
Boer line of defense is now described
as sixteen miles in length. having been
extended W and down the Tugeia in
order to prevent a turning movement.
There are many dispatches of minor
interest from General Buffers camp
this morning, but no details indicating
the direction of the next attack
Scouting has evidently improved, for
the Hussars of TaOrnycroft's horse
and other patrols are described as hav-
ing had brushes with the enemy. The
naval guns remain in constant practice,
but the Boer guns are silent.

French Unable to Take Any of the

London. Jan. 4.-There is a complete
absence of anything new from the seat
of war. The report Of the Boer attack
upon Molteno is not vet confirmed. APP
parently General French holds nothing
within five miles of Colesburg junction.
Els request for reinforcements .dispels
any present hope that he will be able to
seize one of the crossings Of the Orange
river.
It is probable that when Lord Roberts
arrives General French viii he ordered
to quit his present unsupported posi-

at De Aar or Orange river. AS the
Daily Telegraph says: General French
