 South Bank of the Rhenoster River May 23.-1:30 p. m.-We found on arrival here this morning that the enemy had fled dur ing the night. They had occupied a strong position on the north bank of the river, which had been carefully entrenched but they did not think it advisable to defend it when they heard that Ian Hamilton's force was at Heilbron and that cavalry which had crossed the Rhenoster some miles lower down the stream were threat ening their right and rear.

SENSATIONAL TURN
 IN THE DALEY CASE
Henry Says He Was to Marry Mrs. DaIby Under an
 Agreement With the Husband

Mrs. Dalby in his care, but they were not acknowledged I have since learned they were not delivered.
 Some weeks ago I received a message that MT. Dalby was attempting to trick his wife, as well as myself, and I came to Chattanooga, met Dalby, and again we had talk. This time he repudiated his for mer agreement, said he had no concessions to make to me, and for while was quite violent in his speech and manner
 "He quieted down, however, and showed me letters purporting to come from his wife which breathed love and affection for himself and forgetfulness of me. l accept ed them as genuine, and plainly told him that it let me out, and so far as was con- cerned they might live ever happily there- after. I returned to Knoxville.
 "A few days ago I learned that Mrs. Dalby still retained her affection for me, and that the husband had in every way repudiated his promises and subjected both of us to deception. To add to my confu- sion, Dalby wrote the custodian of the building in Knoxville where I make my office, stating that he wanted to see me in Chattanooga on imperative business connected with important papers. l con- cluded the papers referred to divorce pro- ceedings.
 Was Oecoy Letter
 His letter, however, proves to have been a decoy in order to get me here, allay any suspicion might have of proposed violence, and if possible kill me and pose as de- fender of his wife's honor. I have since learned that he has boasted of his scheme by which he got me to come to Chatta- nooga. The public will thus readily see the claim of his alleged illness at Birmingham, occasioning his return to Chattanooga. l reached Chattanooga Sunday, and having been connected in clerical way with the Merchants Trade Exchange, and not re- sponsible for its disappointments, thoughtlessly registered by half my name, Charles Edwards.
 "Dalbys attack was that of a coward. He sprang from a window that opened on the porch. I was bidding Mrs Dalby goodnight. One hand was in my coat pocket and the other was lifting my hat as bid the lady goodnight. Before I realized a thing he poked the revolver into my face while was in the act of lifting my hat. The blood blinded me, but managed to get hold of him and eventually had control of the pis- tol but loss of blood so weakened me that I could not use it as he deserved"

WARM DEBATE
 IN THE SENATE The Fight Was on the Re-
 publican Side BETWEEN SPOONER AND HALE It Was a Remarkable Controversy Be- tween Two of the Best Equipped
 Debaters in the Senate on
 Cuban Question.
BETWEEN SPOONER AND HALE

Washington, May 23.-This was day of rasping political controversy and oratory in the senate. With the controversy those of the democratic side of the chamber anamolous as it may seem, had little to do. What by far-seeing senators is regarded as likely to be the paramount issue of the approaching national campaign was the subject of two notable speeches, one by MT. Platt of Connecticut and the other by MT. Spooner of Wisconsin. The former was an answer to the speech delivered a few days ago by Mir. Bacon of Georgia on his resolution demanding an investigation of the financial affairs in Cuba.
 The speech of MT. Spooner was a con- tinuation of his address of yesterday on the Philippine question. In it's course he became involved in a heated and sensa- tional colloquy with MT. Hale of Maine over the governments conduct of affairs in our insular possessions
 It was a remarkable controversy be- tween two of the best equipped debaters bl the senate, and was listened to with profound attention by senators.

THE HOUSE

Washington, May 23.-The house today passed without division the extradition bill framed by the judiciary committee, but only after debate in which considerable political rancor was aroused. There was no division of sentiment as to the duty of congress to pass bill to permit the extra dition of Nicely, but the democrats objected to the language of the bill which covered any foreign country or part thereof" or part thereof occupied by the United States.
 The democrats wanted the bill to apply specifically to Cuba, contending that the broader language assumed the possibilities of further acquisitions by the United States of a character similar to that of Cuba. A motion to recommit with instructions to change the language was defeated by a strict party vote.
 The house also adopted the resolution to allow the committee on ways and means to sit during the recess of congress for the purpose of framing a bill for the reduction of the war revenues and resolution for a sine die adjournment June 6 MT. Richard son, minority leader, announced that he was in favor of the total repeal of the war tax on beer.
