o'hiles north of Bloemfontein. 1t occu-
cies a cluster OF hills won from the
1oers after Z: stiff fight, in which the
british lost seven officers and 100

that have been beating up the country
adjacent to B@oenfontein for supplies,
driving off cattle and forcing non-resi'
dent Free Staters into their ranks
again. The Beers must have been III

sent 8, 900 infantry and 5000 cavalry
against them.
Lord Roberts, progress to Pretoria
will probably consist OF such forward
movements. in which BOer positions
will be attacked by a portion OF the
army advancing rapidly with wheel

the railway is repaired.

to have Methuen's transport.
General French lost 5000 horses ir
the relief OF Kimberley and the pursuit
of General Cronje. Lord Roberts lost
1900 transport cattle at Waterfall

Chicago, March 3O.-Nito Paoletto,
the Italian saloon keeper who lost the
power OF speech soon after the murder
of his partner, Michael Giavito, with
which he is charged, made two at
tempts to commit suicide. He failed,
but the method employed restored his
voice. He has only one leg and uses a
crutch. While listening to the testi-
mony OF witnesses who appeared be.
fore the coroner's jury, Paoletto put
the lower end OF the crutch in his mouth
and lurched forward. lie was only
slightly injured. A few minutes later
the accused man repeated the attempt
to end his life. The attendants then
took the crutch away.
One of the physicians who examined
him says that the shock produced in
Paoletto's throat by falling on the end
of the crutch restored circulation in
the region of the paralyzed vocal cords
and the organs were again able to per-
form their functions.
