EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
BOER POSITION NEAR RIETFON-
TEN TAKEN BY BRITISH.
Details of the Reverse MT Nitral's Mex
Guns Lost Only After Nearly Every
Man of the Scots Greys Escort Was
KILLED WOundcd-British Rein-
forcemcnts Arriving.

Pretoria, July 13-Colonel Mahon, re.
inforced by General French's brigade
on Wednesday, took all the positions
held by the Beers in the neighborhood
of Rietfontein. A number of Boer dead
were found. The British casualties were
trfling.
Details are now at hand regarding
| the disaster to the Lincolnshire regi-
ment on Wednesday. 1t appears that
| five companies were ordered on Tues
day to proceed and hold the pass
through Magalesburg, in the neighbour
hood of Daspoortfort. They arrived at
the pass in the afternoon. There three
companies with two guns took up po-
sition and camped for the night, leav-
ing two companies on plain south OF
the pass The eastern hill was rugged.
rocky and inaccessible, but further east
apparently approachable from the MAIN
ridge.
At daybreak on Wednesday the Beers
appeared on the eastern kopje and open
ed a heavy fire. Confusion ensued. The
colonel ordered the men to take up
position on kopje west Of the gap.
From this point hot fire ensued dur
ing the entire day. Two guns, under
the escort of the Scots Greys, placed
in advance of the main body were cap
tured after stout resistance. Nearly
every man was killed or wounded. A
Maxim gun was brought into action
early in the day. The fire was too hot
and the men were finally forced to re-
tire. A sergeant, aided by seven vol
unteers saved the gun. There was a
continuous fire all along the line, the
Lincolnshire regiment men vigorously
replying,
About three o'clock in the afternoon
the Beers appeared to the left of the
position occupied by the British. An
officer and fifteen men attempted to
charge them. Fourteen men were kill
ed or wounded as the result of the
charge. Three companies were practi-
cally surrounded, but they kept up
steady fire unwaveringly until towards
nightfall, when their ammunition had
been expended.
The man who arrived latest from the
scene of the action states that at the
time of his escape the men were taking
a good position under cover, and with
fixed bayonets We're awaiting the APP
proach of the Beers.
1t is understood upon good authority
that the Beers have employed armed
natives. At one point two of these ma
tives 1eaped from cover; a small party
from the Lincolnshire regiment stepped
up and demanded their surrender. A
soldier stepped forward and shot both
of the natives dead. One officer who
succeeded in making his escape had an
encounter with an armed native.
1t is feared that the losses of the
British were numerous. About thirty
of the British soldiers struggled back
to camp to-day. According to all ac-
commits, a great force is being assem-
bed to prevent further progress of the
Beers.
Commandant Grobler, who command
ed the Federas at Nitral's Mex had
four guns.

TO HUNT FOR TREASURE.
Bridgeport Company Will Use Sub
marine Boats.

! bTluSGpUIl CUIllpdHS w III CoS |No-
marine Boats.
Bridgeport, July IA prospectus
has been issued of large company to
be shortly formed in this city which
will carry the name of the Sound and
Coast Wrecking company. Its capital
stock will be composed of number of
Bridgeport men. 1t is highly probable
that a large plant will be erected some
where in the city to be used for the
construction of submarine boats SINH
lar to design of the Argonaut.
The boats will probably be of the
same general type though constructed
differently to meet the various require
ments. The Argonaut is built exclu-
sively for wrecking purposes. Other
types of the same boat will be built
for sponge fishing and hundred other
submarine purposes.
The object of this company is to To-
cate and recover the many valuable
cargoes sunk in Long Island sound and
on the coast between Rockaway Inlet
on the Atlantic coast and Hell Gate In
the East river and Cape Cod in the
east, and In the water tributary there
to Also the raising of sunken vessels
and removing them when stranded
There is a very rich territory, sunk in
the waters of which are hundreds Of
thousands of tons of coal, numerous
cargoes of pig iron, copper and general
merchandise Also several millions of
dollars in specie, the location of some
of which vessels containing large sums
is approximately known.
The loss of vessels, as it Is generally
we'll known in this territory, has been
frequent for many years past, as the
sound and coast between New York
and Boston has been the great artery
of commerce between the east and the
south and foreign countries, all the
trans Atlantic trade travelling over
this territory.
BY modern invention it is now
practical to recover majority Of the
cargoes from these sunken vessels, and
when the vessels have not been sunk
too long, they also may be raised and
recovered.
This company has secured the ex-
elusive right to operate in this terri
tory with the submarine boats and
wrecking appliances the patents of
which are controlled by the Lake Sub
marine company, the company which
has been experimenting for a number
of years with the submarine boats de-
signed for commercial purposes, and
with the ArgonautN which boat has
thoroughly demonstrated its CONNER
cial value in the submarine wrecking
lire. The company has secured the ex-
elusive right to Simon Lakes inven-
ton in this line and for this territory
through the Lake Submarine company,
and proposes to build and equip boats
of the Argonaut type especially for the
business.

MURDER IN BRIDGEPORT.
Another Fairfield County TRACED,

Another Fairfield County Tragedy.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, July 13.-Bridge-
port to-day added another murder to-
the long list Of Fairfield county TRACE
dies. The victim was an Italian; his
slayer a fellow countryman, and the
cause of the crime was a woman.
Salvatore DAgnostino, ageg thirty
years, a laborer employed in the city
quarry, shot and instantly killed Ange-
10 Nilano, thirty-six, during quarrel
provoked by D'Agnostino's attentions
to Nilano's wife.
Shortly before five o'clock this morn
ing D'Agostino, who occupied room
in the Nilano home, left the house and,
apparently, waited in the street for
Mrs. Nilona, who usually starts on q
marketing trip at about this hour.
When the woman appeared she was ac-
costed by D'Agostina in a manner that
occasioned great rage on the part OF
Mrs. Nilano. The latter at once shout
ed to her husband, who arrived on the
scene quickly. Hot words followed and
in the excitement Mrs. Nilano pulled
off one of her shoes, wooden heel af-s
fair, and proceeded to assault D'Agos-
tino. The latter retreated and Nilano
took the opportunity to gather hand
full of stones which he hurled at the
running man D'Agostino stopped,
turned and, drawing q revolver fired
three shots at Nilano. Two of them
took effect. one in the shoulder, the
other in the heart. The wounded Ital-
ian sank to the ground and expired.
The revolver shots attracted other Ital-
ians in that quarter and DAgostino
was disarmed. He was allowed to es-
Cape however, and he was last seen
making his way to the northward.
