as follows: JIG ~9sr
"Kelly-Kenny, at Bloemfontein, reports
that the telegraph has been cut at Roode-
val, north of kroonstad, by body of
Beers estimated to be 1000 strong,t with
six field guns. He is sending strong re-
endorsements to kroonstad and l am

interruption will be only temporary" -
London Disguised.
London, June 11.-London is some
what dis usted at the "disagreeable
activity manifested by the Beers in
the Orange River Colony in cutting
Lord Roberts Geographic communica
ton at Roodeval, north of Kroonstad.
AS yet there is no indication whence
came the strong. body of $4,000 Beers
that has arrived at Roodeval, unless it
is the force mentioned in a recent Boer
dispatch as having started from Stand
erton with this very object in view.
Apparently the authorities on the spot
regard the situation at least as tenn
porarily serious, as they are not only
reinforcing the garrison a t. Kroonstad,
but are sending up troops from the
lines Of communication in Cape Colony.
Roodeval is fairly strong position,
35 miles north Of kroonstad, capab bic of
giving Gen. Kelly-Kenny trouble sh ould
the federals elect to dispute its posses
sion, as Gen. Kellykenny cannot be
overburdened with cavalry, with which
to threaten the burgher line of retreat.
Discounts Flattering Deductions.
The news somewhat discounts the
fattering deductions the Britishers
have been extracting from Lord Rob-
erts' silence, as it indicates that the
menace of the Beers to carry on.
prolonged guerrilla warfare is no
empty threat, and that President
Steyn is capable Of creating serious,
if only temporary, trouble. A parlia-
mentary return issued Saturday
morning shows that So members of
the house of lords and % members of
the house of commons are serving
with the British troops in South At
rica.
Advices from Cape Town say the
opinion prevails there that the Boer
supplies of ammunition and food will
not suffice to enable them to prolong
the struggle in the Lydenburg dis
trict for more than eight weeks. Cape
Town also anticipates that the Beers
will be seriously harassed by the
kaffirs.

President Stey~r at Bethlehem,

President Stey~r at Bethlehem..
New York, June 11.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says the
last information received there shows
that President Steyn is at Bethlehem.
He has a small band of desperate men
with him, but the great body of the
burghers in the northeast of the
Orange River colony appear to be
heartily sick of the war.
The mystery enveloping the fate of
the British prisoners at Waterfall had
not been explained officially at mid
night Gen. French ought to have
reached Waterfall Tuesday or Wednes-
day, and to have released at least
5000 prisoners, if only 1000 were car
ried east by the Beers. But Gen.
Roberts has remained silent respect
ing this important detail.
The motive of the Beers in taking
off the prisoners is obvious. While the
prisoners are with them there will be
less risk of starving out the Beers
themselves by the seizure of Komati
Poort or the investment of Gutenberg.
They are hostages for the protection
of the burghers against starvation, and
increase their resources for drawing
the British government into negotia-
tions of some kind.
Rundle' s and Methuen's operations
against President Steyn at Bethlehem
remain unexplained,s A reconnaissance
in force occurred on Tuesday, and
there was some skirmishing.

How Mrs. Dewey and Her Mother
Occasionally Take a Drive
About the Capital.

Mrs. Washington Mclean, mother
in-law Of Admiral Dewey, owns one Of
the handsomest carriages in Washing
ton, says the Star. She and her
daughter are occasionally to be seen
driving in the novel turnout. The
carriage is a daumont and is drawn
BY four magnificent bays, with pos
tilions mounted on the rear leader
and near wheelers. with the
footmen in high hats and black
livery in the rumble; the positions
wear short black jackets with three
rows Of buttons down the front, white
knee breeches and top boots, round
black caps and black gloves. There
being no driving seat, the carriage is
ideal for pleasure driving, as the view
is unobstructed The rumble is some
times dispensed with but for full
dress occasions it must be used. The
harnessing is precisely the same as
for posting, but the pole of the car
riage is usually of iron and bent down
in the middle so as to be below the leg

bruising it. When two horses instead
of four are used the equipage is called
demidaumont.
This style Of carriage was much in
vogue at Newport several years ago
and may be seen there occasionally
now. Mrs. James L. Kernochan and
Mrs. August Belmont have owned
daumonts. The rame is taken from
the due d'Aumont, a French leader
Of fashion both before and after the
revolution. He had superb stables
filed mp with mahogany, marble and
Bohemian glass and he introduce,
this style Of carriage.
That daumonts and demidaumonts
are not articles of everyday luxury
is quite certain. A handsome prize
was offered OF the last national horse
show held in Madison Square garden
for pair Of horses to be shown be-
fore demidaumont. but there were
no entries in this class.

thousands OF years into the very heart
sof the mountains. These cnnyons, or
gateways, IN the future in many In
stances viii be damned. and the water
which now 10 o great extent flows on to
the sea win be stored to be used as a
reserve supply This water in its es-
cape flows for some distance on the
surfnce, and then for miles the river or
, stream win be represented by gleam-
Ing waste Of rock and snnd giving rise
to the saying that the rivers of Cali
fornia run bottomside up, but the fact
4 is that the water IS sweeping rapidly
along TO enter the lowlands near the
sea, where it enriches the, peatlands,
converts dry soil into alfalfa landI or
rises to the surface in the form otar-
tesian wells, irrigating large area Of
country.
To save as much as possible of this
water is the aim Of the water compa-
MES. Sometimes they tap the canyon
high at its source, tunnel the sides at
advantageous points, leading the water
of into pipes, or taking 1t from springs
wherever IT appears, SO that there is
not spring or water sign in all south
ern California that has not the respon-
sibility of a town, settlement or ranch
house depending on 1t.
First in Importance is the water for,
irrigation, the first experiments of
which were made by the mission
fathers in 1870, while the original in
habitants of Arizona had elaborate ir-
rigating bitches which are in use to-
day. 1t was perhaps the example of
Lombardy which encourages Califor-
mans, as half the rainfall is used
for irrigating purposes, distributed
through 4,500 miles of bitches, reaching
100000 acres.
Nearly all the beautiful towns of
southern California-Pasadena, Red
lands, Pomona, Ontario ana Riverside
with their wealth Of citrus fruit, are
the direct result of irrigation. and wa
ter storage is well represented by tho
Bear Valley reservoir, which is on the
head waters of Santa Ana river, 5000
feet above the sea. A dam was built at
the lower end of the valley where the
walls come together. The radius of
this fine arch is 1913 feet, and the thick
ness at the base 20, tapering to three
feet at the top. The lake formed by
this enormous dam covers an area of
(, 1912 acres. In San Diego county is the
famous Sweetwater dam, which is in
tended to store up water for the ranch
es of that region, and is one of the most
remarkable engineering feats in Call
ifornia.
In Merced county another method of
storing mountain water is seen, known
as the Crocker-Hoffman canal system.
A natural depression was selected and
damned with bank 1000 feet long. At
its base it is 27.5 feet thick, 20 feet at
the top, rising to a height Of IA feet,
lake Of s5,500,00O gallons.
Pipes lead from this into canals which
distribute water over hundreds of
acres, making barren land extremely |
valuable
